Where Speaker Reed is Wronq

The Hon. Thomas b. Reed has
contributed to the Independent IN
article on the result OF the election
The Speakers philosOphizing is,
for the most part, sound, and his
tribute to the honest money Dem
ocrats is particularly graceful.
He can sink partisanship himself
when occasion arises.
There is one remark of Mr..
Reeds, however, which we think
he would revise, and perhaps with
draw, If he were to give the sub
ject more careful consideration.
"The doctrines of the platform
at Chicago were not those Which
met with the approval Of the foun-
derS of this Republic, and are not
those which commend themselves
to the judlciOus among the living.
The vote would rather seem to in
dictate that we have tried to as
simulate those from abroad too
rapidly, and that in Offering them
so generous an asylum against op
preston have rmn some risk of OPP
preston by alien ideas ourselve.n
Now, that is exactly what the
vote does not Indicate The vast
majority of our foreign born citi-
zenS seem to have voted for hon
est money and for the preservation
OF the nations faith. The States
IN which the foreign born popula-
ton relatively the largest, such MS
Minnesota, Michigan, and Illinois,
gave heavy pluralities against
Bryan. On the other hand the
principal strongholfS of rCpudia-
ton prove to be in States and re.
giOns like Kansas and the entire
South, where the foreign born ell
ement is either comparatively
small or absolutely totally absent.
No political philosopher who
stndies impartialIy the election
figures OF 1896 can overlook this
remarkable fact; and Mr.. Reed
with his sharp eyes, should have
been one of the very first to per
ceive it.-Ncw York Sun.
