Two HONIing NuisanceS Abated.
New York Sun. November L..

New York Sun, November l..
Not the least delectabie of the minor re-
suits of Tuesdays voting is the elimination
from public life OF James Hamilton Lewis
OF Seattle, ana Rowland Blennerhassett
Mahany, Of Buffalo.
Jim Ham Lewis majority for congress
two years ago was over II ov0 He was not
known then. He is known now.
Rowland Biennerhassett Mahany carried
MS district in 1896 by a plurality of l.S5S
This year he is beaten by 66I votes. His
performances in the house have received
sufficient advertisement 10 convince his c n
stituents that Rowland Blennerhassett Ma
hany IS not "a credit TO Buffalo.
We class the two men together. although
Jim Ham styles himself a Democrat wnile
Rowland Blennerhassett pretends 10 be a
Republican. In fact, they belong 10 tae
same party, for they are demagogues and
socialists and mountehanks Of the same
stripe and from the publicity they love-
the hand Of Political Justice has snatched
the two blatherskites al one swoop.

The Democrats Of Washington are ex-
periencing a great awakening. II the
country press can be considered a reli'
able guide TO party sentiment, the De-
mocracy, renovated and reorgan-
ICED, will seek to establish it
self again on bedrock princi-
pies from which Il was seduced by
leadership hungry for the fieshpots Of
office The rank and file OF Democrats
feel that they were betrayed by the FL
lensburg convention. They do not now
hesitate 10 say that their principles were
deliberately trafficked for paltry office.
The party birthright was sold outright.
The resentment of the outraged De
mocracy was manifested at the polls
when many voted the Republican
ticket. Others stayed at home, because
they could not register their sanction TO
methods so mercenary and disreputable.
They preferred defeat to victory at such
price, and they contributed directly to
the Christening and discipline of De-
mocracy.
The recent defeat serves as a mighty
warning to the Democratic leaders who
have abused the trust reposed in them
10y selling out their party. They may
dicker and bargain and try 10 safe their
own appetite for spells at the expense
of party integrity; but they cannot de-
liver the goods. They may attempt fu-
sion two years hence. But. if there is
fusion. it will be fusion Of office hunters
alone and not of the voters The revolt
against it viii doubtless be greater than
ever

The political situation IN this state for
the past two years has been in mixed
and unsettled condition. especially that
par; % politics relating 20 fusicn. We be-
heve, however. that this political combsna-
ton has reached the parting Of the ways,
and in this connection the Locaiize- de-
sires q: this time 10 state its future policy
In short, we shall advocate the principles
Of Democracy as promulgated by the ma
iionai Democratic convention at Chicago in
1886 and upon the lines lad down BY that
matchiess statesman. Thomas Jefferson.
No fusion, no Populsm: plain Democracy.
We strayei from the path Of homes, politi-
cal advocacy into a scramble for the spoils
OF Office, and the advocacy OF principles
which the Democrats party as party
never oil nor never viii advocate TIE
Democratic party deliberately sold its name
for the privilege Of naming a candidate for
Office al the state convention he'd IN this
city last September And this is not all.
The party indorsed principles which never
in the past had ever found q place in its
platform. The Populist party sold these
things for the privilege Of retaining its
name 1t was coId-blooded. dishonest
transaction throughout and deserved the
rehuke and defeat accorded 1t on the SIN
OF November
While the fusion party would eventually
have fallen, the prime cause OF its DOWN
fan this year was the load the single takers
The single tax theory is TOT a principle Of
the Democratic party and never was. Yet
this plank was forced into the union plat
form and the fusion party-composed OF
Democrats, Populists and Silver Republic
cans-swaliowed II down and lied like
troopers afterward in trying to make the
people believe il was not single tax-and
all this in the face of the fact that not 10
exceed two-tenths of the advocates Of
fusion were favorable 10 single tax. Dis
organization followed. Out of sheer disgust
hundreds Of fusionists refused 70 vote at
all. and the result is we'll known.
Fusion is dead. Once more do we turn 10
the old party that has stood the test Of
time. and while not always victorious has
ever been the advocate Of principles Of right
and justice. Fusion is dead. Let it rest in
peace, and from the old Democracy let a
new Democracy arise even stronger aad
nobler than the old.
Henceforth will the Localzer he found

party's principles, which we believe con-

The importations Of gold into the
United States in the year 1898 are by
far the largest in the history OF the
country, and the expectations the small
est in many years, while the production
OF gold from our mines will prove the
largest In many years, If not the largest
in the history of the country.
This Is the answer made by practical
experience to the theoretical prophecies
of the free silver people, made last
presidential campaign. The change in
the conditions OF this country In ten
years is almost fabulous. For the ten
months of the calendar year ending
October 81 lsss. we exported gold 10 the
amount Of s21. 424.S3i. and imported S.
023. 42G. an excess Of exports amounting
10 81. 331 .40s. In the ten months ending
October 81, 1898. we had not only wiped
out this difference but added $3.50. 900 900
and more to our imports. The figures
are SO extraordinary that It is neces-
sary. in order to fully comprehend them
t. place them in juxtaposition. This is
the contrast:
