The Recent Election.

While the result of the election
in Ohio is still in doubt so far as
the writer's knowledge goes that
fact of itself is victory for de-
mocracy and its matchless
leader.
Perhaps there has never been
a State election in which so
much money was spent and in
which national administration
was so distinctly on trial, so to
speak. The contest for the gov
ernorship was lost sight of in the
struggle of corruptionist Hanna
to retain the Senatorial toga
which he received as a reward
for his services last year. He
secured his seat in the first in
stance through a deal in which
President Mckinley and Gov.
Bushnell participated, and not
from the suffrages of the people.
The whole power and patronage
of the State and federal govern
ments were strenuously exerted
in his behalf to help him to
another term Of the office to
which they had elevated him.
His defeat would be a singing
rebuke from their own people as
well as a protest against the
financial policy of the govern
ment. With all the odds against
them the democrats have won a
great victory even if by a.
scratch Mr.. Hanna is elected.
Mr.. Mckinley laid aside his dig
nifty and spoke in the interest of
his master, and democracy's
great leader flashed like meteor
across the State carrying dismay
to the ranks of the enemy. 1t was
a repetition on smaller scale of
the great battle of 1895 and the
result shows the people have re-
pented of the folly they dis
played in that contest. McKin-
ley is weighed in the balance
and found wanting. The people
asked for bread and were given a !
stone. The promised prosperity |
proved a fraud.
B In New York, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and Nebraska,
the people rebuked the admins
tration and repudiated the gold
standard. In it all the gold
democrats cut a pitia-
BILE figure. That party with its
absurd claim OF being the dem
ocratic party hardly made a ripple
on the surface.
The great lesson taught and
the end accomplished is the unfit
l
cation of the true democracy on
the silver platform. They have
proven themselves able to make
campaigns and win victories
without the help of traitors of the
Cleveland stripe. They have
proven that all the rain and
patriotism of the party are not
to the few millionaires
md mugwumps who wanted to
'ule or ruin. They have served
notice on the gold standard
oolters that they must step
'quarely on the Chicago platform
90 into the republican ranks, OF
'emain the tail end of all political
PARTIES. The result is full of
lope for the future. Not that it
s possible that McKinley's mas (:
ers will permit any financial ]
in the interest of the
,eople-but that the .campaignl
# education" inaugurated last /
rear continues and will continue I,
i'll in 1900 the party of the people ,
lnder the same superb leader
viii sweep the country from
canada to the Gulf and from !
Maine to California. 6
1t is also hoped the few ad- 7
lerents of the gold standard in {
Texas will learn lesson from s
he futile efforts of their northern |

FIRE AT SALEM.

The Residence of Mr., Andreas Bulls De:
,stroyed Tuesday Night.
The residence of Mr.. Andreas
Bulls, known as the old Porter
King place, near Salem church,
and about Eye miles from the
city, was totally destroyed, to-
gether with its contents, by fire
Tuesday night.
The catastrophe occurred at
about II o'clock, after every
member of the family had re-
tired and the fire, which originated
in the kitchen, was beyond con-
troll before being discovered. The
building was insured in the
Farmers Insurance company, a
local organization, for S1100.
The prison chapel at Sing Sing
will soon have a fine organ. 1t
is being built by one of the con-
Victs.

some localities, not SO in Wash
