SIXTEEN MILLION RESULTS.

The careful and intelligent series of ana

has published in connection with the returns
Of the late Presidential election. are at once
interesting, instructive and depressing TO
every American citizen who still believes
in government of tie people, by and for
tie people, and who to this time has hoped
and expected to see the honest viii of the
people voiced and exercised in popular cleo
tions. notwithstanding the discouraging
tendencies OF recent times and dominant in
fluences operating in an opposite direc-
tion.
Although it is evident that Mr. wellman's
purpose is other than to call attention to
tie fact, if we accept his figures and deduc-
tiOns, we are bound 10 conclude that fraud
and corruption marked tie achievement OF
the Mckinley pluralities in many States.
His analysis cannot be assiuilated without
digesting into tile conviction that it sadl :
illustrates the potency Of a sixteen-milloH
dollar campaign investment by the Anglo
American money power, in what was pre-
sumed to be a popular election. Thus, in
