The American people, says the Har-
risburg Patriot, appear to have decided
to stand by the single gold standard.
But they have decided in favor of the
single standard tentatively, not perma-
nently. They have chosen to give new
party in power an opportunity to RENE
dy the evils which the present admins
tration could not cure, and they have
agreed that this party shall not be hamp-
cred In the performance of its promises,
but they have by no means relinquished
the intention to revise and improve the
currency system.
Besides, the people were not ready for
the proposed currency change. Reforms
move slowly. Even Christianity was of
slow growth and of uncertain existence
for centuries. The opinion, or rather
the want of settled opinion, on the mon
ey question is illustrated in the attitude
and declarations of party platforms and
candidates in previous years. Both par
ties have been for free silver and against
it at various times, and the state which
has given the largest Republican major.
ity was, only two years ago, committed
by the now victorious party to initiation
of the currency to forty dollars per capi-
| ia. The people being indignant at the
present administration and the German
congress, suspicious of the party in pow
er and those who pose as its leaders, and
bent on revenge, not all the Democratic
votes that went to Mckinley recorded
silver entiment.
Now that this party matter is disposed
| of Democrats will come together again.
The people have only three months ed
ucation on bimetallism, and taking this
fact into consideration the showing at
the polls was satisfactory. They will
now eagerly read and study the intrica-
cies of the double standard during the
| next four years with different results.
The silver campaign has not ended. 1t
is just begun. Every day of the next
four years 1t will be the dominant issue
and in November. 1900, the people will
command that the century shall begin
with this country declared for bimetal-
lism.

1T is reasonably certain Mckinley and

likely to be, from indications at / 80
O'Clock to-day, narrow one-a much
narrower one than has been looked for,
as the result of the earlier dispatches.

ceded to Mckinley: Connecticut 6,

consin u, total go.
The probabilities point with great GER
tainty to Delaware, with its three votes,
and Indiana, with its fifteen, as
Republican and as furnishing more
than the 224 requisite to constitute
a majority In the electoral college.
The three votes of North Dakota appar.
emily belong to Mckinley. and the same
may be said of the three votes of Oregon
and those of Kentucky, but in all cases
the returns are too inadequate to Justify
definite conclusion.

The farm and labor vote for BRYAN so
confidently counted on as one of the GER
tainties of the election, says the Pitts
burg Post, did not materialize as expect
ed in such numbers as to carry RepubIi-
can states. Still it is evident there was
decided drift towards Bryan and free
silver. A little experience is needed of
government by trusts and for the ag-
grandizement of trusts, and that labor
on the farm and in the shop is sure to
get. Time is on our side. Ten
years before Lincoln issued his
emancipation proclamation both the
great political parties of this country re-
solved in their platforms that there
should be an end of anti-slavery aeita-
ton. The free soil candidate for presi-
dent in 1852 got only 1900 votes in
all the states of the Union. Eight years
later Lincoln got nearly two millions and
was elected. The slave oligarchy was
not circumstance to Mark Hanua's
oiigarchy of trusts and corporations and
piutocratic power, and in the end 1t will
be as badly shattered as the slave power
was, and through the peaceful agency
OF the ballot box. Let no one be dis
courage6 as to the future.
