Echoes OF The Election.

The Augusta New Age came out last week
with great spread of eagles, flags and
flaming headlines, proclaiming Democratic
victories, and said editorially, among other
things:
The result of Tuesdays elections foretelis
the defeat OF Mckinley next year and an
end to his un-American policy of Imperial
ism. 1t means the nomination and election
OF William j. Bryan and the triumph of the
plain people over the money power.
But newspapers differ as we'll as doctors,
and we find the leading Democratic dailies
taking a view of the November elections
that does not harmonze in the least with
the utterances of our Augusta contemporary.
For example, the Democratic New York
World says:
The elections mean victory for imperial
ism in majority of the States voting.
Ihere IS neither honesty nor profit in deny
ing this. They mean also triumph for Mr..
Mcklnley-but a triumph that was made
easy by Mr.. Bryan and his friends in thrust
ing again to the front at the beginning of
the campaign the futile and fatal falacy of
free silver and the thrice-coude Chicago
platform.
The Democratic New York Times is no
less decided. 1t says:
The truth is now made plainly evident
that upon the great question of the day the
policy of the Administration in our new
possessions, Bryan has set himself against
the beliefs of the American people. They
condemn him, they sustain the President.
Here is an Independent opinion from the
New York Herald
Massac chusetts, the hotbed Of the ''anti-
imperialists," has gone Republican of course
but by a vote that is so large that it should
etfectually silence the "anti-expansionist''
enfant terrible of that Commonwealth.
Then the New York Sun, which as to poll.
tics is not readily classiti tied-and it is really
not material whether we call it Democratic
or Republcan-ha5 this to say:
The State of New York stands by William
Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt 1t votes
for sound system of finance and for the ex-
pansloD of manufactures and commerce, in
which its interest exceeds that of any other
State. 1t shows by the election OF Repub-
lcan Assembly its approval of the Admins
tration, its unabated loyalty, its patriotic de-
termination that the lnsurrection in LuzOn
shall be put down and the full fruits OF
Dewey's victory be gathered There will be
no weakening among the New York Repub-
licans in 1900. The city of New York may
still be in the bonds of iniquity. The State
is all right.
These are merely few specimen utter
ances which serve to show that the Augusta
New Age has docked all by itself

1t was evident Saturday that storm was
brewing. The majority predicted snow, but
some said rain. The latter part of the after
noon the clouds lifted inIthe west, and it was
thought "the moon might clear it Off" But
early in the evening the storm set in in earn
est-a wild northeastern, with snow. All
night the wind blew a gale, and Sunday
morning the ground was covered with
snow for this rst time this season The
storm continued unahated all day Sunday,
but with rise of temperature in the after
noon, whenl large moist fakes of snow fell in
place of the dry fine particles of the night
before. Sleighs We're out during the day,
despite the storm. Early Sunday evening
the skies cleared the stars came ont and
the moon shone. Monday dawned clear, with
the wind northwest and low temperature
This storm, despite the premonitory symp-
toms, was because of its severity a veritable
surprise party. We had had so many weeks
of unseasonably mild weather that it seem
ed almost as if winter was to pass US by,
but we were not forgotten.
THE storm was general throughout the
State.
L. II. Murch and others estimate jthe total
snowfall at from 10 to u inches, Some of the
teamlng was on runners Monday, but the
snow soon mixed with mud and the shedding
was of short duration. While the date is
unusually early for so heavy Storm last
year gave US a inch snow fall on Nov 10th,
and the great gale which proved so dsas-
trous to shipping was the 9th.
