THE LATE ELECTION IN ITS LOCAL
ASPECTS.

The election returns show that Doug
las county is still strongly Republican,
in spite of the fact that the Democrats,
captured the best offices on the list
Even the first ward in the city rolled
up a handsome majority for the State
and National ticket. And why the
county ticket received the treatment it
did at the hands of its own people re-
mains a mystery, and at this time needs
no investigation. Time alone will prove
the wisdom and justice of the act. The
Republican voters of the county deliber-
ntely turned the offices over to the dem
ocrats. Now watch for the reform acts.
In the first assembly district we can
understand why Mr.. Norquist was de-
feated. The people wanted man of
higher type to represent them IN the
assembly, and they proceeded to elect
Mr.. Hoehle, whose political record is
not without blemishes, but who is I'M
doubtedly far better fitted for the place
than Mr.. Norquist the Irregular nom
inee'. But this excuse did not apply
to the entire ticket, in fact most of the
defeated men have served the people
faithfully and we'll in one capacity or
another. BIT the cry for change,
seemed to tickle the fancy of many, and
to bring it about the Republicans, yes
the republicans, must bolt, and they
can always be depended upon to do
their duty in that direction. We shall
not make any predictions at this time,
but we shall not be surprised if some
of the managers of the combination get
reformed more than thew want to be-

M'kINLEY SUSTAINED.

There is no installing the will o.
the people of the country as ex
pressed on last Tuesday. 1t is as en-
phatic as it is creditabe to the nation.
A few gains have been made by the
Democrats in the House of Representa-
tiyes, but those gains are more than
offset by Republican gains in the Senate.
As matters now stand the Republican
party controls both branches of the ma
tional government, and there will be
nothing to prevent the carrying out of
the policy Of the party in reference to
the many important questions with
which it will have to deal in the coming
congress.
Many of the state legislatures here
tofore Democratic, notably in the West,
have come over to the Republican side.
This NAV be due in some measure to
the fact that the Democrats seem to
have made their fight in the congress
sionaI districts, hoping to gain control
Of the House of Representatives, and
thereby be able to block Republican
legislation.
Altogether there is much reason to
be thankful tor the result of the cleo
ton. though none but an extreme par
tisan could haye expected the people
to fail to endorse the policy of the Re-
publican party as directed by President
Mckinley.

of the management of the war, as every
one of them has done, their names are
dropped by the yellow journals. Gen.
Lawton closed his testimony with these
words: Taking in consideration the
conditions that we were obliged to face,
the character of the country, It's climate
and other things being considered, l
can say there were no series of gross
mistakes made | can say there was
no lack of care on the part of any OF
those in authority, whose duty it was to
look after the interests OF the camp.
We had with us as fine staff officers as
there are in the world; no better could
be found. These men worked night
and day, and 40 human being could do
more than they did"
This government isn't looking for
trouble in the East, but if trouble

The Department of State has just
been officially informed that the wheat
crop OF France this wear is the largest
and OF the best quality since 1874, the
total product being 81 1S9, 40 ,Sl4 bush
els, which makes it certain that France
will buy none of this years American
wheat crop. In this connection, it may
be well to call attention to the fact that
France is a little bit jealous because the
United States makes the best flour in

There Is real grief in Washington on
account of the sinking of the Spanish

timated that the vessel, even in its dam
aged condition. was worth about s., OOO, :
