THE ELECTIONS.

If any doubts have existed regarding
the heads of the two great national
parties tickets next year, they have
been removed by the results Of Tues
days election. Both President Mchin
lev and Colonel Bryan have received
handsome endorsements from their
home states-their respective party
tickets being elected by largely in
creased pluralities. Owing to the mixed
character of the results in the various
states which held elections, it will be
difficult for either gentleman to extract
from them an exclusive endorsement
of his own peculiar views. Colonel
Bryan claims that the vote Of Nebraska
constitutes a rebuke of the president
policy, then by the same rule the result
in Ohio, Massachusetts. New York,
New Jersey and Kentucky must be re
garded as voicing approval of that pol
icy. If. on the other hand. the attempt
be made to construe the vote of Ohio as
an endorsement of the administration
policy it will be met with the fact that
the presidents party did not receive a
majority of the vote last Tuesday, al
though it did receive a big plurality.
The results, however. were not sufh-
GENTLY decisive to disturb the claim to
leadership of either of the candidates
for the presidential nomination

Pardon Emmett Dalton.

Coffeyville Nov. 9.-The news sent
out from here that the mother of En-
NETT Dalton is working for his pardon
from the penitentiary, where he is now
