ton to one another of cause and effect anu
that the free coinage of silver would cure
hard times by removing the cause. Since
then by reason of the return of prosperity
through good crops and good prices they
have been cured of that notion, and are
therefore likely to return to their old
party. Hence 1t is reasonable to expect
that the Republicans will make con-
siderable gains in the west by reason of
these changed conditions.
In the Middle and Eastern States the
conditions ara almost reversed. Inc he
publican party in these states never lost
apy considerable number of their voters
by reason of the silver agitation, ana 1t
gained q large number of Democrats. AS
the silver question is far less acute this
year than two years ago 1t Is reasonable
to expect that many of these democrats
will return to their party. This Will cut
down the vote for Republican candidates
and probably give some districts which
went Republican two years ago to
the Democrats. 1t is probable therefore
that there will be some Republican losses
of congressman in these sections.
But there are other issues that oompli
cate the situation. The expansion ques-
ton, though it cannot be said to be
party question, is likely to make itself felt
to some extent in congressional districts
where the rival candidates are'on differ
emit 81 es of the question. The Democrats
have tried to pusI to the front the con-
duct of the war. and have labored to ex-
cite public feeling against the admins
tration by representing that the soldiers
were badly treated In the various camps.
There are signs that this is not likely TO
prove the bonanza that the Democrats
anticipated The investigation by the
commission, which appears to have been
conducted fairly and with desire to get
at the facts, seems to have shown pretty
conclusively that the most OF the trouble
at the camps was due to the neglect OF
the soldiers themselves and their officers,
and cannot be laid at the door of the ad-
min1stration. The disclosures OF this
investigation have, we believe. done much
to destroy the effect of the partisan raid
on the notwithstanding the soldier lssut
Taking all things into account the
probabilities would seem to point to tie

than the present one. And yet. as we

current which is practically und1soovern'

results entirely unlocked for ~ the
leaders of either party. Neither party an
ticipated the sweeping change in tho cleo
tions of 1890. The Democrats were as
much astonished by it as the Republicans.
So the magnitude OF the change that
took place four years later was not fore

1t will be observed, that contrary to the
prediction of the French newspapers,
the Spanis,l commissioners did not break
off negotiations, though they refused to
assent to our proposition in regard to
the Philippines. Unless Spain should
get some assurance of assistance from the
European powers, which is very unlike
1y, she will not withdraw from the con.
ferenne She will of course struggle as
long as possible against our demands,
but she will assent to them finally unless
she sees reasonable prospect of getting
some aid from Europe. The Spanish peo-
pie are exceedingly anxious for peace
and they will surrender all their colonies
rather than risk the breaking out again
of the war No doubt a great many OF
them. especially in the rural sections,
would not shed many tears over the loss
Of all the colonies. The colonies have
burdened them with taxation and taken
from them their children. To the masses
OF the people they have been simply
sources of sorrow and distress.

lit will be recalled that the Philippine
question was the only one really left open
in the protocol All others were practi-
cally settled. Spain abandoned Porto
Rico and Cuba in the protocol. But che
did not abandon the Philippines. The
future of those island, the protocol dis
tinctly specified, should be settled by q
joint commission. That being the case
the right of the Spaniarus to hearing
on this question is much clearer than
on any of those that have preceded It,.
When they undertook to haggle about
Porto Rico and Cuba, the Americans
could very properly say their fate was
settled in the protocol and there is moth
ing to do but to arrange the details. But
this reply cannot be made in regard to
the Philippines and it is only fair to the
Spaniards, inasmuch as we ourselves left
this question open, that they should be
given considerable latitude in urging
their views. t,

THE ELECTIONS,

The elections of next Tuesday will de-
eide the political complexion of the next
House of Representatives That is the
featur, of them which is of the most gen.
eral Importance. Perhaps, however, in
this locality the contest between Roosevelt
and Van Wyck for the governorship is at
tracing the most attention. 1t is
seldom very easy to predict the re-
suits of elections over large areas in this
country, and for certain reasons it is par
ticularly difficult this year. Several times
in recent years men of long experience in
politics and well situated for catching the
nopular drift have seen their calculations
woefulIy discredised by the result. The
silent vote of this country-that is the
vote that makes no sign of what it Is 60
ing to do before it goes to the polls-is
very large and very much de-
ponds upon it. 1t is this vote that
bothers the election prophets and fra
auently brings their calculations to disas-
ter. What makes preoIction unusually
difficult this year is the lack of one
prominent issue extending over the
whole country. Two years ago the silver
issue was paramount and it affected
every state in the union. The voters
ideas on this question decided his vote
This year the case is different. Silver in
many states is not an issue at all, and in
none of them is it SO overwhelming
ly an issue az to obscure all others, ana
make opinions in regard to it decisive
of mans vote. Nevertheless it will play
some part, especially in the west, and the
operation of it there must, it would seem,
befavorsble to the Republicans. Two
years ago many men whose affiliations
lad always been with the Republican
party voted for Democratic candidates,
because they had vague notion that the
gold standard and hard times bore the rela-
