The Spring Elections.

Post-Dispatch
Local elections in off years are not
always indicative of popular opinion
on broader questions of public policy,
but when they show marked revul
sion against the party victorious at
the last preceding general election,
it is difficult to overestimate their
significance and Importance.
And seldom has a revulsion been
more marked than this year. It be-
gan in the Connecticut town cleo
tions, was emphasized in those of
New York and New Jersey,found an
echo in Iowa, and on Monday of this
week had its most significant express
sion in Ohio and Michigan. The
great republican cities of Cincinnati
and Detroit have reversed, with tre-
mendous democratic majorities,t s,their
verdict of last year. Else where in
the two states the reaction is equally
marked and equally significant
And there is nothing OF sectional
politics in this revolt sgainst the
party in power. As all sections have
suffered alike from the continued
business depre ssion and the delayed
prosperity wave,so all sections voice
the protest against these conditions
And if republican tatuity persists, al
it is now persisting, in forcing upor
the country new Bill OF Abomina
tions for the protection of Trust
and the oppression OF the people
and if the democrats make no mis-
takes and eacrifice nothing of cor
viction to supposed expediency, MI
Mckinley will find, in the last tw
years of his term, Congress wit
one hundred democratic majority 0
his hands.
