Yesterdays election throughout
Illinois brought near to home
another evidence of the determi-
nation on the part of the peo-
PIE to express themselves on the
deception to which they were sub
jected last fall, when the promise
was held out to them that the reien-
tion OF the gold standard and the re-
pudiation of bimetallitm meant nme-
date and abundant prosperity. The
hope then vouchsafed has been so
long deferred, despite the unmistak-
able triumph Of the gold idea. that a
misled and deceived people have
sought the first opportunity to de-
clare themselves. But four months
have elapsed since the election Of
Mckinley. and by the feeling mani
tested yesterday we may imagine
what 1t will amount to by the time
four y ears have rolled around With
its practicsl lessons Of cause and
effect.
As q matter of course there we're
local contingencies which affected
the results in Rock Island yesterday :.
The republicans were desperate, yet
they we're confident. They called
their convention unusually early.
when they considered the feeling ex
listing in the ranks for the carrying Of
thu combination ticket, and precipi-
tatei cam paign Of four weeks in
hopes that in the interval the
smoothing over process could be ap.
piled. and the ticket eventually car
ried through to success. The demo-
Gratis on the other hand nominated
an exceptionally strong ticket all the
way through, ard it's prospects were
bright from the outset. 1t proved
one of the most exciting and most
earnest campaigns in the city's his
tory. 1t was well fought, and the
democrats, in addition to the excel
lent work Of the convention, NAV
give m UGH credit to the splendid
work Of their campaign committee
and all who enlisted themselves in
the cause OF the ticket.

The election OF +. j. Medill, Jr.,

so much distinction and credit to the

for the revival Of popular public i'm

his original term Of service. Beyond
this We look for an improvement in
