1t is reasonably safe to assume that this Re-
publican total will rot be reduced. Unless it
should be exceeded the total minority member
ship would amount to 1I2. composed Of Gold
Democrats. Free Silver Democrats. Demo-Pops,
Popunsts. Fusonists and Silver Republicans-a
motley crowd. indeed
In speaking Of the campaign to-day Mr. Bah
cock said that the result was a magnificent in
dorsement of the President and the Republican
Administration. and would have a greater and
more far-reaching influence upon the future OF
this country than any election held for many
years.
"On National issues" he said there never
was a question as to the result Of the cleo
ton. but the danger that | saw two months
ago came from local differences and from over
confidence and general apa ny on the part of the
Republicans. The committee made especial
business Of seeing that Republicans were
wakened to the situation. and the losses suf-
fered in the Eastern and Middle States arise
almost entirely from local conditions the
fact that strong Democratic districts were rep
resented by Republicans whom we could not
expect to re-elect
We lost five districts in the East that the
committee believed would be held, namely. one
in Massachusetts, and four in New-York; but we
captured about the same number Of districts in
the extreme West that few thought it possible
10 carry thus leaving the Republican majority
in the House just about as .he committee had
estimated il a fortnight before.
y feel that the most valuable result Of the
election To the country generally is that 1t
stamps out the frce-silver and fiat money idea
FOR many years to come The makeup Of the
Senate will be such that sound money control
cannot be disturbed for at least eight years
Therefore. business men. producers. laborers
and financieTs can rest assured that disturb
ance of the finances can occur during that long
period. which. ! expect. will be Of the
greatest fruitfulness Even il some miracle
should give us a free-silVer House and a free
silver President the Senate will stand as a bull
wark against any fiat money other de-
struCtiVe legislation"

THE sweeping victory in the West. including

THE entire tendency Of Independent voters is 10
return to old party allegiance. with permanent
gains TO the Republican party from the best Gle
ment OF Democracy and Populi-n'. This is largely
due 10 the prosperous condition Of agriculture and
business generally. Tho people are satisfied with
present conditions.
"In Nebraska the Fusionsts early in the cam
paign practically abandoned the fTccsilvor issue.
and for II time attempted 20 maintain themselves
by criticism of the conduct of the var Driven
from this they fell back the McCleary bill.
The Republican campaign was very active and ar
sressive. and successfully met the three issues in
detail Above everything else. however. was the
patriotic determination to stand by an Adminisra-

ing and successful foreign policy have won the ad-
miratiOn Of Christendom."
