 WAsHINGToN, Nov. 6, 1896.
 Ring the bells, blow the horne,
 Let the glad tldlngs be told;
 Bryan wears his crown of thorns,
 And Is under his cross of gold.
 The greatest national victory in the history of the republican psrty was that won lasta taweek, when Mckinley and Hobart receIveo the largert pUPular vote ever cast for presloentisl ticket tremendous republican majority foI the next House was elected. anu the control of sufficient number of state legislatures wIlch will elect senators for the term beginning March 4, lS9I, was secured to make it reasonably sure thct the senate will have republican majority after that date, thus putting the legislative and executive branches Of the government under control Of re- publicans, which will enable the ed- m'nistration of President Mckinley to give the country the relief 1t needs, by enactlng laws in accord with the policy of the republican party, which, as Ma!. Mckinley SO aptly stated early in tue campaign, stands for SD "boDest dollar and the right to earn it by honest toil. "
 The acton of the great majority Of our country's voters was not only an endorsement of the republican party and its policy as expressed by its plat form and candidates, but stipgipg re- buke for the men who sought to clim into power by appealing to tbe worst elements Of human nature, by proposing to repeal the Moral Law; to tarnish and garble the constitution of our forefath- CTS, which has served the country through its every crieis, end to replace "Old Glory" with the red flag of snar, chy. It was 8 rebuke which would serve So prevent such men as Altgeld, [, the anarchist, TIllmsn, the socialist biackgusrd, Debs, the revolutiopist. and Bryan, the inexperienced theorist, ever again succeeding in dominating @ Ma And 1t was 8 notice to the world that the American people can always be counted upon to oppose dishonesty. DO matter how enticing a garb 1t may pre- sent itself in.
 Republicans do not forget to give am- ole credit to the men who by their su- perb management of the campaign en- ab.ed them to win such great triumph. Mr. Hanna was 8 new men in national politics, but no one who watched the able manner in which he handled the pational committee work would have supposed it had it not been known. True, Mir. Hanna had Hp able corps of advisers, among them such successful and veteran managers as Senator Quay, out it was because he had the proper conception of the task before him that no surrounded himself with able sdvis- ers instead of bootlicks and cuckoos. Representatives Babcock, ot Wis., and Apsley, of Mass, as chairman and vice chairman respectively of the Repu bli- can Congressional Campaign Commit tee, added new laurels to those won by them in 1894. in the same positions, both as a6roit managers and accurate fore casters of results. in neither of which they have ever been excelled. Chair man Babcock sums up the results of the campaign ss follows:
 The good sense and patriotism of the American people have once more been displayed in a great crisis, the like of which has not been known since the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 1 believe that by this great victory over the populistic ideas of free silver and fiat money, the socialistic v8g8ries proclaim ed by such men as Sovereign and Debs, and the anarchistic leaning of Altgeid and his followers. will now for a lcrg period to come, and hope forever, be from DO itics in this country ss heresies utterly unworthy to be en- tertsined ID the minds of patriotic peo pie. So thoroughly has the Chicago platform been repudiated and denounc- ed by true Americans, that no party can have the effrontery to pls0e it in whole or in part before the people again for their endorsement"
 MT. Cleveland declines to express any opinion on the election of Mckinley and Hobart, for pu ublicstion, but his feelings may be read between the Ines of hIs Day proclamation, issued since the result of the election was known.
 The Washington Star, the leading iu- dependent paper of the National Capi- :aI, thus editorislly speaks of the elec- TOD: "The country is a thousand per cent stronger today than it was yeste- day-stronger ia its own eyes and ID the eyes of all the world. A serious crisis has been passed and passed triumphant Iy. Popular government has never been 90 thoroughly vindlcsted. The people are the sources of the greatest and beet power, and they will enjoy now @ pros Derity which must follow so signal 8 step toward the restoration of confi- fence and good will among men,"
