II was from the cities that on the
evening OF election day OF an of year
tire arst returns came in. and they all
showed that even where there had been
good Republican majority last year
this was now reduced through the fail
ure of Republicans 20 attend the polls.
aad that the Democrats. with decreased
votes. were nevertheless in n major
fly On that night the Democrats re-
Joiced immensely, and claimed 1t
victory for everything they favored
and defeat for everything TO which
theX were opposed. Bryan claimed the
result in New York as a great victory
for Organism. although Tammany
rost pointedly and ostentatiously ig-
nored the Chicago platform. aud
Henry George was nominated avowed-
ly for that reason and in support OF
Bryan and free silver. Now Bryan ig-
rores the fact that his ticket cut no
figure in the campaign. and that the
three tickets which ignored or opposed
free silver attracted the votes. The is
sue IN New York is so wen defined that
everybody understands free silver had
nothing whatever 10 do with Il.
Outside Of New York city. the result
IS most gratifying TO Republicans. In
fact. considering the internal strife
among Republicans ia several OF the
states. the resnlt Is positively remark
able. Ohio has given 3 Republican ma
jority in the legislature IN a year fol-
lowing Republican presidential vic
tory for the second time in thirty
years. This Is proof that Organism
has not made any Roadway. because
the normal Democratic vote has usual
ly been strong enough 20 overcome
the Republican vote. and Organism is
supposed 70 combine with the Demo
cratic vote the Popalists and The free
silssrites. Ohio il very uncertain
state. and evidence OF this is 90 be

ing that Yearly 50 600 Republican

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
SEATTLE, SUNDAY. nov. :.
MIR. LANES ELECTION.

IL Mr.. Lamb has the courage and
resolution to break away from the in
fuances that most actively advanced
his candidacy he will make satisfae-
tory school direct6. He is a man VINO
has always borne a high reputation for
probity, and his experience In affairs
has been so wide that he is well
equipped for the position to which he
has been elected. The voters OF the
district appear 10 have concluded that
he would render them efficient service
In spite of his unfortunate environ
ment.
The chief obstacle TO the success of
Mr.. Bowden was the active support of
superintendent Barnard. The belief
has gained strong hold on this COM
munity that politics has had too much
10 do with the conduct of school affairs,
and Mr.. Barnard has been pretty gen
orally looked upon as the author of
this policy. The judgment of the voters
was no doubt heavily influenced by
this opinion and the consequence Is MIR.
Lambs election.
Free text books have carried by a
large majority. There was no strong
opposition to them by any considerable
number of voters.

THE LATE HENRY GEORGE.

The services TO be held IN memory
OF Henry George may be attended by
any citizen who esteems an earnest,
honest and intelligent exponent OF an
idea, or who holds in veneration I'M
selfish devotion TO the cause of his
kind. Rich philanthropists. like Pea
body and Childs and Pullman, who
have presented money to public pur
poses. have given up that which they
could spare without discomfort; men
like Girard and Enoch Pratt and Car
negie and Rockefeller, who donate
millions to hospitals and public libra
ries. purchase great monuments TO
their own memory, and enjoy the
proud satisfaction of having tangible
evidence to present to posterity of
their good deeds. Their motives may
be unselfsh, but there is no pain ac-
oompanying their gift, and they realize
the difference between giving and not
giving only by figures in check book.
Far different is the benefaction OF
men like Henry George. who, with no
private means, often suffering want
through neglect of their own business,
whose failure to effect results brings
genuine sorrow TO their hearts, and
who-imperceptibly To others, uncon-
sciously TO themselves-leavet the world
better than they found it, but with no
frfh
sacrifices il has cost Henry George
devoted his life to the pursuit OF an
object which he believed would be for
the benefit of mankind. To many of
us his scheme Is as visionary as an ef-
fort to establish Utopia. but 1t fascin-
ated because 1t contained true princi-
pie. Ii is utterly impraeticable; and
il would produce, If attempted, hard
ships and injustice fully as great as
those now attributable TO the existing
system OF land tenure; but there was
a simple charm about the doctrine that
the earth was made for all mankind
and that no human being could be a
trespasser upon the soil of that earth
which had been given 10 man, as man
was given 10 earth--there was a charm
about this presentation of the subject
which, with no intention To be ir-
reverent. was as attractive TO the land
less as the promise of JOY and rest
20 those who We're weary and sorrow
laden.
AS a man Henry George knew moth
ing of corruptness or the subrogation

merits as a citizen and his virtues as
father. II IS not necessary to speak.

1t appears that a large part of the time
OF the women congregated at the recent
w. C. T. U. convention at Toronto wa.
spent In discussing the grievous orense of
Dwight l.. Moody in stopping at what

defense. and do not know that he consid-
cred il necessary 10 make one. 1t would
seem. however, that the good women OF
the w. c. T. L. were wasting their time
breaking straws about tribes. and that the
discussion did not contribute in any degree
to the fulfillment OF their great cardinal
object, which is suppression OF the liquor
trafIic. 1t was probably not charged that
Mr.. Moody patronized the bar. or put in his
time loafing around the bsrroom. which 1t
may be admitted would have been indie
corous in a delegate to a temperance con-
