The Election Results.

The more complete the returns of
Tuesdays election, the more complete
the satisfaction of the Republicans.
After the earlier returns which indi-
Gated the glorious Republican victory
in New York, there came the news of
the loss of numerous representative
districts in the East, and it was felt
Wednesday morning, that the Demo-
cratic control of the next House was
probable. But better news comes from
the West, where the Republicans have
won grand victory and gained many
seats. 1t is now certain that the next
House will be safely Republican,
though by a reduced majority. Speaker
Reed will succeed himself, and the
President will be backed in all meas
ures, foreign and domestic, by strong
and united party controlling both the
great legislative bodies.
In the next Senate there will be a
Republican majority of ~ or more over
all. senators being gained in New York,
New Jersey, Delaware, West Virginia,
Wisconsin, Indiana, North Dakota,
California and perhaps other states.
The exact figures in the House cannot
be given for several days yet but it is
certain the Republicans will have. a
safe working majority over all. Dis
tricts in the East which went Republi-
can in the landslide of two years ago
have returned to their natural moor
ings in Democracy. while in the West
the death of the free silver cause is
emphasized by an enormous Republi-
can vote and gains everywhere.
All over the country, East and West,
the Republican party won a magnifi-
cent, victory. Tuesday. 1t is victory
which will inspire confidence
and increased prosperity at home,
and add to the confusion of
our enemies abroad. 1t shows that the
American people are proud of President
Mckinley and his conduct of the most
successful war in history. 1t is a
handsome endorsement of the progress
sive and patriotic policy of national
expansion. 1t is the finishing blow to
the fallacies and faisehoods of the free
silver craze. 1t is a singing rebuke to
that extravagant sensationalism which
sought to mar the war record of the
administration by parading phantom
war horrors. 1t proves the strength
and harmony of the great Republican
party at this critical time in national
affairs.
The only "off year slump" of Tuesday
was in the hopes of the opposition.
All along the line Republcanism won
to the control of both branches of Con-
gress is the victory of Colonel Roose-
welt in New York, and the rebuke given
to Crokerism and Murphyism. The
Republican victory of Tuesday will
give a deeper significance to Thanks
giving, two weeks hence. The victory
gives added opportunities and respon-
sibilities which the Republican party
the country, as ever in the past.
