What Others Think,

Philadelphia Press: How this match
less victory lightens and lifts the
American heart! How it riffs all the
hanging clouds and floods the country
with the golden sunshine Of hope and
promise! How, above all, 1t justiiics faith
in American intelligence and integ-
rity, and reafIirms the capacity of the
American people for self-government
1t is the best blow for free institutions
which has been struck since Gcttys-
burg and AppOmattox. 1t is maies-
tic uplifting of true American spirit
for true American principles and a
true American leader. Grand as
Is this national assertion, William Nc
kinley is emincntly worthy to be It's
representative. Pure, noble, heroic, a
lofty patriot and a wise statesman
rising and broadening with the great
responsibility, a man of the people and
conspicuously the peoples man, his
dignified bearing. his unerring words
and his enkindling leadership in this
unexampled campaign have endearea

THE FIRST IN THE FIELD,
From the Scranton Times.

FROM the scranton Times.
The Tribune was first in the field with
election news last night. Before midi
night it issued an edition correctly stat
ing the result, and its later editions con-
tancd tables giving full returns for the
county districts outside the city remark
ably near to completeness. 1t was a
splendid journalistic feat and reflects
credit both on the editorial and mechan-
ical departments OF The Tribune estab-

conscience and common sense of the
American people to dispel doubt and
Danish every fear. Reason, Judgment,
honor, all came to the rescue, and the
victory Is so overwhelming as to be de-
cisive. Yesterdays victory is not mere
ly triumph for the Republican party
and its glorious leader, William Nc
the American people. 1t is the crown
ing vindlcation of free Institutions,
based alone upon the peoples will, and
founded on faith in their honor honesty
and patriotism.

spread over the land Ike sunshine,
making all things smile again.
Washington Post: The vote which
elected Mr.. Mckinley was the silent
vote" Of which We have heard so much
during the past few weeks and as to
which the party managers have been
so utterly bewidered. 1t was the vote
Of the thinkers, the quiet, patient work

of the land-the vote of sturdy mon
who wanted nothing of parties or poll
ticians, who answered the promptings
Of their own consciences without eXter-
nal aid, who thought OF their country
first and of themselves afterward. NO
committees, no 'spell-binders, no party
henchmen framed their views. They
decided in the silence Of their thoughts,
and they voted as they would have ful-
filled a solemn VOW.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle:
The appeal was to the people. The peo-
ule have spoken. Their voice is heard,
strong and true, keyed to the deep, rich
notes of manhood, of honor, of patriot
ism and of loyalty to the eternal prin-
cplos Of Righteousness. Again in SUI
preme crisis the American people have
proved themselves true to the sublime
and sacred trust Of government.

Four Promising Legislators.

One of the most gratifying features
of the recent election from n local
standpoint was the choice of a solid
Republican delegation to Harrisburg
Now that the campaign hurrah Is over,
IL might he we'll for those voters VINO
look at such subjects seriously to re-
fleet for Il moment uuon the impor-
tancc of the work which has to be done
at Harrisburg and upon the equal i'm
portancc of keeping as representatives,
there men who are especially well quail
flied to do it.
The political solididcation of the last
delegation at the state capital gave 1t
Il recognition not previously accorded
to q delegation from Lackawnna
county. and the same degree of innu-
encc, if not more, may be expected to
be welded by it next winter. We do
not argue that the state of politics
which measures a legislators useful
ness to q large degree by his partisan
affiliations is ideal at all; but it is the
fact which has to be taken into account
at Harrisburg If community would
receive satisfactory attention there,
and while this Is true. Lackawanna
county does we'll to see that her legisla
tive interests are as ably and effective
ly cared for as are those of any other
county in the commonwealth.
We have no doubt whatever that in
NIcssrs. Farr, Connell, Mackey and
Reynolds this county will enjoy q rep
resentation among the very foremost
at the state capital. This is not said
for campaign effect. The need for that
has passed. 1t is q simple deduction
from the past good records of three of
these gentlemen during prior terms of
service and from the bright promise of
the fourth. Under the circumstances the
people of Lackawanna ought to feel on
excellent terms with themselves over
the outcome of Tuesdays balloting. no
matter from what standpoint they
scrutinize the result.
