The result of yesterdays general
election is that the supporters of
good government, honesty and con-
servativeness in the affairs of state
have gained a sweeping and decisive
victory over the radicals and de-
structionists. William Mckinley,
the nominee of the Republican party,
aided by the manly and patriotic
support OF hosts of sound money
Democrats, is elected president by
an overwhelming majority, the larg-
est, perhaps, in the history of the
country.
So far as is ascertained this morn
ing, the following states have spoken
for the principles which Mckinley re-
presents:
Wisconsin, 100000 plurality.
Illinois, $4,000.
Iowa, $4,000.
Michigan, 10000.
Minnesota, 100000.
Kentucky, 5000.

When was Deaths victory less elate
That Grief o'er-sobbed his grasplng

But for its fine PROJECTIONS all;
For mornings joyous overflow.
For sunsets fleeting festival,

For wild-rose breath OF Keats's line:
For Tltian's rivalry OF June;
For Chopin's tender notes that wine

For Brunelleschi's dome divine.

Save them for heroes-not their b'oods
But for the generous vow IL sealed;
For babes. when mothers say. This bud

For women, when TO Vengeance Hood
They hold Cor Guilt a stainless shield.
And when two hearts have closer come,
Through doubts and mysteries and fears.

At last the happy truth appears,
When words are weak and music dumb.
Then perfect love shall speak In tears.
