States would repudiate the policy of
the president and rebuke the adminis-
tration for not giving an Independent
government to the islands. AS Agui-
naldo's sympa athizers in the United
States have deceived him into believ-
ing that the election would terminate
that policy, the reaction will naturally
be very great.
Democratic leaders are inclined to
seek some comfort in the reduced ma
jorities shown in the vote for some of
the republican candidates. The anti
expansionists are using this argument,
especially in Massachusetts, where the
city of Boston gave a big democratic
vote. Everybody comedies Mr.. Bryan a
decided victory in Nebraska, and there
has not so far developed any desire in
any quarter to question his title to the
leadership of his party. The latest re-
ports from Kentucky indicating a re-
publican victory there are also crafty
ing to the president and officials here.
The result is regarded as largely due to
local issues. A significant feature of
the democratic victory in Maryland is
that the three principal candidates are
gold d-standard advocates and have been
opposed to the free coinage of silver.
Tuesdays election will have an eff
feet upon the insurrection in the Philip
pines" said Col. DENLY, a member of
the Philippine commission and a demo-
crat. '"The returns in Ohio, Massachu-
| setts and New York must convince the
insurgents that the people of this coun-
| try sustain the policy of the admins
tration. The insurgents We're antici-
pating material support at the polls.
This was evinced repeatedly during our
stay in Manila. Frequently we haG
called to our attention posters dis
played under the direction of Agui-
naldo in which the Reputation of the
administrations policy was promised at
! the November elections. 1t has been
the plan of the insurgent leaders to as
sure the natives that the voters of this
country favored their Independence and
| that public sentiment would be declared
| in such forceful manner as to compel
congress to intervene in their favor.
| "Aguinaldo's agents will promptly
Inform him of Tuesdays results. The
Endorsement which the Philippine pol
iicy received in the states where it was
1.-The principal issue will be dishearten-
ling to him and his followers. Its full
effect, however, will not be apparent
until after congress assemblies next
month. Aguinaido and his sympathiz-
ers who have looked so confidently for
IA reputation of the Philippine policy
will now attempt to sustain themselves
by predicting favorable action by con-
gress. 1t therefore seems necessary
THAT congress should make q prompt
declaration. confidently believe that
there will be peace in the Philippines
before Christmas"
| Secretary Gage says that the republic
can party ought to congratulate itself
on the results of Tuesdays elections.
Attorney General Griggs expressed sat
lisfaction over the results. He says that
under the circumstances 1t would seem
THAT the democratic party should go to
Ito the state of Maryland next year for
Tits presidential candidate. This would
indicate that ex-senator German is his
Ichoice. Senator Harris. of Kansas
says that Tuesdays elections do not
Ichange the political situation and will
not affect the plans of either party.
Comptroller of the Currency Dawes
lconstrues the results al an indication
of the great strength of the president S
policy with the people. He believes
that the vote in Nebraska entities Mr..
Bryan to a denomination. Secretary
of State Hay, while declining to discuss
the returns, says that he is entirely
satisfied with the result.
