The republican gain of from eight
TO ten seats in the United States senate
drives large gold-headed nail into the
coffin of free silver.-N. y. Sun.
The sum and substance of the
elections is that free silver has met
with another defeat, and that the presi-
dent has been sustained. - Chicago
Tribune.
Free silver, populism and anarchy
ere dead. Above their common grave
waves the banner of sound money,
good government and PATRIOTISM
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
Bryan carried Nebraska in 1896 by
plurality of 1895. Now it repudi-
ates him by swelling majority. This
is one of those political revolutions
that make for the right.-Chicago Post.
Not since the war has there been so
fClicitous an outlook for the American
people in ali things that tend to mate
the present moment.--Chicago Times
Herald.
President Mckinley should feel well
satisfied with the elections. Local is
sues in some states obscured the is
sue, but rs a general thing the verdict
Of the people is, well done.-Cincinnati
Commercial-Tribun
H., -
The returns is calculated to encourage
the opponents of republicanism. The
fixture of the jones' Bryan ltgeld-
Bailey faction is complete and unmis-
taxable Chicago Post.
In Il sentence, the republican party
has come to the effective support of the
war administration, and in districts
where factional interest has not been
placed above party welfare has held its
/ own in an oif-year elcction.-Ch Chicago

1t was Il good days work and in view
! of all the circumstances the victory
/ Is much more crcditable than the
rather narrow margin might be held
to indicate. First of all. it is u cause
!
/ Tammany system of government and
the personal power of its master are
not to spread like blight over the
! state of New Hork.-N. " Tribune,
The republican party is still at the
/ helm. 1t will continue to administer
/ the affairs of the nation. That this
will he done in Il spirit of progression,
| patriotism and sound judgment the
/ people know. 1t is this faith in the
republican party, set over against an
absolute lack of confidence in the ia
natical and populistc democracy, that
makes of the one a success, the other
failure before the world.-Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune.
Although the returns from most
parts of the country tell the same
story, light vote with republican
losses, yet the republicans have in
three states done unexpectedly well.
They have carried New Jersey, which
was thought likely to go democratic;
they have probably carried California,
where McKinley's plurality in 1896 was
less than 1000; and they have carried
-N''i'piNtif Nl'Nh SpuN' ~ y b' p" H'h'H'iT
~ of more than 10000. --Alilwaukec
