TUESDAY Of last week was a great
day for the Republicans all over the
country. Not for the past sixty year.,
except during the war and reconstruc-
ton days, when many States were un-
represented in Congress, did the cleo
tiOns occurring in the middle of the
presidential term turn out so favorably
for the party holding the presidency as
they have in the canvass which has
just closed. New York went Republi-
can by an overwhelming majority.
Ohio, which the Democrats were boast
ing they would win, holds its old place
in the Republican column. New Jer
sey, Connecticut, Delaware and West
Virginia, which until recently were
usually Democratic, gave Republican
msj1rities. In Indiana, Illinois, Min
nesota and Michigan, in all Of which
the Democrats expected to win this
year. the Republicans have a good ma
jority. Kansas, which has gone again {

allied foes and deals death blow to
malice, personal spite and misrepre-

the most remarkable campaigns in the
history of the State for its viIeness and

Populist Defeat In Kansas.

TOPEKA. Kan, Nov. 10-Tbe defeat OF
Jerry Simpson retires from Congress the
idol of the Populist party, and the defeat
of that party in this. its stronghold. is re-
garded by many leaders as the end of
that organization as a national factor.
To-day the leaders have been canvass
ing the recent defeat, but the future foI
the party is dark and gloomy. They
realize that thousands Of farmers have
deserted the organization, convinced by
the prosperity which prevails under a
sound money policy that they do not
want to try the panacea prescribed by
Mr.. Bryan. Another large faction of the
party, they fear, will go to the Democracy,
and still another to the Socialist move

takes place, but their efforts win meet
with the same failure as they did at
last weeks election. The figures OF
that election demonstrate one thing
with absolute certainty, and that is
that the brutal, ebaracterless warfare
made against Senator Quay by John
Wanamaker was s dismal failure, and
that Mr.. wanamaker is very effectu-

will succeed himself His friends can

AS WAS TO be expected, Senator Quay
announces that he will be a candidate

Many Of Mr.. Wanamaker's 400 (thous-
and) were driven back into the party
line by the fear that the Democrats would
win.-Dr. Swallow.
Lancaster county's plurality OF $500 for
Stone is the largest ever given in the
county's history to gubernatorial candi-
date in a live contest
So closely contested was the election in
Nebraska that at least two members elect
Of the legislature won their seats by a
single vote.
Ohio gave President Mckinley splend-
id endorsement. It is evidently very
proud Of the President. and he is good
man who is worthy of its support
The next time DIR. Swallow appears as
clown on the political platform he should
add ''Thon shalt not bear false witness"
to the other plaDks in his platform. He
may then % better.

intention of killing King Humbert. He
added: ''It does not matter, however. as

kill the Duke of Orleans, and remark

reporter and when told that his name
had been very prominently mentioned

THERE are some alleged Republicans
aud Republican newspapers who are
of the opinion that Senator Quay
should be defeated for Senator when
the Legislature meets. They are the
same papers and people who declared
all along that the fight this year was on
Senator Quay. Having won, he is en-
titled to the fruits of his victory.

South it was overwhelmingly beaten.
The immense majority which MeKin-

still more glorious victory in 1900.

THE Party Wreckers, composed Of
men claiming to be Republicans, but
men whose grievances led them into a
campaign against the Republican
party, are not without their victories,
after all, says the Philadelphia Inqui-
rer. They were powerless to aid Doc
tor Swallow or Mr.. jerks to any mate
rial extent, and Colonel Stone was
elected. They made deals right and
left with Democrats and SwallOwcrats
for the purpose of capturing the Legis-
lature, but they entirely failed of their
object. There is a Democratic gain in
the Legislature, but there is nearly a
two thirds Republican majority left,
aud Senator Quay will succeed himself
But while they have elected neither a
Democratic Governor nor Democratic
Legislature, they have succeeded in
sending several new Democratic mem
bers of Congress to Washington TO aid
other Democrats in opposing the poll
eies Of President Mckinley. While
they did not assail Republican candi-
dates for Congress, except in one in
stance, We believe, they stirred up strife
in bitter factional speeches, and in close
districts this was fatal. They went into
c. w. Stones district, and Mr.. Stone
was beaten. They went into the Lu-
zerne district, and Morgan B. Williams
was beaten. They went into the Craw-
ford district and the CIearfield district
aud the Schuylkill and Northampton
and Northumberland districts, and the
Republican candidates were ali defeat

tiOn in Congress stands: Republicans,
