The greatest national victory IN
she history of the Republican party
was that won last week, when Nc
Ninley and Hobart received the
largest popular vote ever cast tor a
presidential ticket: a tremendous
Republican majority of the next
house was elected, and the control
of "a sufficient number of state leg
islatnres which will elect senators
for the term beginning March 4,
1897, was secured to make it rea-
sonably sure that the senate will
haze Republican majority after
that date, thus putting the leglsla-
tive and executive branches of the
government under control of Re
pnblicans, which will enable the
administration of President Nc
kinIey to give the country the re-
lief it needs, by enacting laws in
accord with the policy of the Re
publican party, which, as Maj. Nc
Ainley so aptly stated early in the
campaign, stands for can honest
dollar and the right to earn it by
honest toll
The action of the great majority
Of OUT country's voters was not
only an endorsements of the Repub-
Eiean party and its policy as ex-
dressed by it's platform nd~candi-
oates, but singing rebuke for the
uaen who sought to climb into
power by appealing to the worst
elements IN human nature, by pro-
passing to repeal the moral law; to
t=gnisb and garble the constitution
of onr fathers, which has served
FfReountry through it's every crisis,
s.rb4 to replace ''Old Glory with
kbe red flag of anarchy. 1t was a
rpbnke which should serve to pre-
vent such men as Altgeld, the an
areh1st, Tillmar, the socialist
elaekguard, Debs, the revolution
5s. and Bryan, the inexperienced
5hs0rist, ever again succeeding IN
Saesaznating a national convention
81 any political party. And it was
Botice to the world that the
American people can always be
counted upon to oppose dishonesty
DO, matter how enticing a garb it
Ray present itself in.
Republicans do not forget to give
AMPLE credit to the men who by
ahe5r snperb management of the
campaign enabled them to win
.sHseE3 Is great triumph. Mr.. Hanna
WAS new man in national politics,
hRt Ige one who watched the able
manncr in which he handled the
national committee work would
hase supposed it had it not been
Anewn- True, Mr.. Hanna had an
zsD3e corps of advisers, among them
ezEGgs SUCCESS full and veteran man
sgers as Senator Quay, but it was
5eeause he had the proper concep-
tlam of the task before him that
hsa surrounded himself with able
advisers inste ad of bootlicks and
xe4sckoos Representatives Babcock
c,G Wisconsin and Apsley of Mass
aeAusetts as chairman and vice
CHAIR nan respectively of the Re-
ga33s!lcan congressional campaign
eao8nmittee, added new laurels to
-ssaese won b4 them in 1894, in the
sanRe positions, both as adroit man
a@zers and as accurate forecasters of
zesn4ts, In neither of which they
8raye ever been excelled. Chair
LEAR BaDcock sums up the results
sf the campaign as follows: 'The
iced sense and patriotism of the
4snerican people have once more
been displayed in a great crisis,
Tive Ike of which has not been
kDesyn since the election of Abra-
Tram Lincoln in 1850 I believe
a1sat by this great victory over the
pUpulistic ideas of free silver and
tat money, the socialistic vagaries
proclaimed by such men as Sover-
'~1gn and Debs, and the anarchistic
lsaning of Altgeld and his follow
sEs, wall now for long period to
=DBse, and I hope forever, be elm
mated from politics in this country
