the east, when considered from a
point Of intelligence, with due regard
for mathematics. are fraught with
hopeful indications, which herald the
most gratifying Democratic accom-
pishments in 1900. They foreten
the defeat of Mckinley, and un end
to the un-American policy of Imper.
ialism.
In Nebraska, the former stronghold
Of Republicanism. the most desperate
efforts of the Administration at
Washington and the Republican Ma
tional Committee were used to de-
feat the Democratic ticket, but with
out avail 1t was personal triumph
for Mr.. Bryan, for the contest was
waged exclusively upon national is-
sues. The result was an oyerwhelm-
ing victory for the Democrats, the
Republican majority Of last year be-
ing changed to $4,000 Democratic, the
largest ever given against the party
OF Hanna and Mckinley in that
State.
Maryland has redeemed herself by
Democratic votes and a Democratic
Governor and legislature elected.
Maryland has given Republican ma
jorities in the last three years from
1000 TO $4,000, but the Democrats in
that State are now solidly united,
while the Republicans are hopelessly
divided. That Maryland will be in
the Democratic column in 1900, there
is not shadow Of doubt.
The gubernatorial result in Ken
lucky is still in doubt, but a Demo
cratic legislature is elected with a
working majority Of more than thirty,
which assures the election of Black
burn beyond peradventure. The po.
itical sentiment of the people of the
State Is manifested by the Legislative
returns, and while the bitter feud
upon the local matter of the COVER
norship ID to be regretted, even if
Taylor is seated. which is doubtful, it
assures the Republicans no hope for
success i'll presidential contest. She
has had little family row and it will
do the Democratic party good IN the
State.
Ohio, the home Of Mckinley, gave
a greatly reduced Republican major
ity and the result is anything but
pleasing to the leaders of the party at
home or abroad. Hanna's home
county repudiated him and went for
Jones the independent candidate,
who polled large vote in the State,
which was drawn mainly from the
Democratic party. The Buckeye
State may be safely classed as doubt
fuP at tho preside initial election.
Paine, the Democratic candidate,
made an excellent run in Massachus.
etts, carrying the City Of Boston by
over 5000, for the first time in three
elections, and reducing the l:epubG-
can majority 10000 i'll the State.
Tammany wins in New York by a
large majority. Virginia goes Dem.
ocratic almost unanimously, and Mis-.
sissippi gives over 10000 Democratic
majority. AS was expected, Kansas
and New Jersey went Republican,
but a Democratic Congressman was
elected in one OF the strongest Re.
publican districts in Pennsylvania.
There is every cause for Demo.
cratic congratulation in the general
result. The pulse Of the nation has
been felt in the Eastern, Western
and Middle States, and even in Gal.
ifornia, whore the municipal election
in San Francisco, the Expansion"
stronghold Of the State, resulted IN
the election OF Democratic Mayor
and Board Of Supervisors, by over.

pudiate McKinleyism, Hanhaism and
Imperialism and call for new Meas
ues and. new men, for Democracy
