is the great majority of 81, 600 in
Iowa. for a Republican governor

courage for his section, scorned
the old "bimetallist' subterfuge,
and made straight goid-stand-

publican gains, though the first
report of Mr.. organs loss OF Ne
braska proved too good to be
true. The notable achievement
of the Bourbon Dutch in their

and grleved nobody but Mr..
Watterson, who. having divided
the parties of the country into

Frauds free silverites), proceeds
to affiliate himself with the
Frauds. Even here the loss is OF
no account. since the legislature

From New York Press
One week after the election
the Press renews its assurances
to New York Republicans thai
they are the only Republicans in
the United States who are dis
credited by the result OF the late
campaign. Here is the only
place in last years line that
broke.
THERE'S NO landslide to hide
behind. The Mckinley admins
tration, outside of the State OF
New York, has been approved
by the people. and especially by
those of the Presidents own
State, as no other Republican
administration has been in the
parallel period Of its duration. 1t
is droll to think how, thirty-fve
years ago, the old Copperhead
Herald, and the Copperhead
World, then new, we're gravely
advising Abraham Lincoln OF
his grievous errors-especially
in the neglect of their valuable
counsels-and pointing to Ohio
as an evidence of popular dis.
satisfaction with the administra-
tion's course. Well, they had
something to point at then. Ohio
had just gone Democratic by 81
577 majority, in Reputation" of
the Lincoln administration. And
such, curiously enough, has been
the fate of every Republican
president up to McKinley's time.
Ohio hitherto has always been
prompt to furnish text for his
critics either in the first or sec.
ond year of his administration.

There is a different story to
tell elsewhere. The victory Of
the Maryland Republicans is one
of extraordinary brilliancy. The
great result of the defeat Of Cor
man is not the only measure of
that achievement. Before those
Republicans beat the Democratic
boss they beat their own boss.
They mutinied at the opening of
the fight ; overthrow their ar.
rogant, and. as was afterward
shown, treacherous, leader, and
went in every man for himself.
The simultaneous downfall of
Wellington and German is one of
the most remarkable phenomena
of politics. 1t is matter of no
less solid satisfaction, though of
less striking accomplishment,
that New Jersey has been held
out of the Democratic column
for now three years. and may
safely be called a Republican
State-something which she
could not be called throughout
the rebellion.

IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE
or Our pear Mother, Cedona DAVIS,
Who Departed this Life Oct.
IL, 1897.

We miss thee from cur home, mother,
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow over our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine OF thy face.
Well not call back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are DER,
On the border land we left her,
Soon TO meet and part no more.
The depth of our sorrow tongue cannot
tell,
At the loss of mother we loved so well,
And while she lies in peaceful sleep,
Her sacred memory we always shall
keep.
From her shining home on high
She is looking down,
And when one by one we die,
Sine will meet us with crown.
Are the tales SO oft repeated,
Now forgotten that mothers gone?
And the promises truly spoken.
Are they ever left undone?
May they guide us kind and loving,
To her resting place each year.
There to place wreath of flowers,
There to drop loving tear.
Heaven now retains our treasurer,
Earth her lonely casket keeps.
And the sunbeam loves to linger,
Where our darling mother sleeps.
