IfAguinaldo is wise he will wait for
complete returns before organizing
5ollifcation meeting.
So
Perhaps the critics of Senator Hanna
will not be willing to admit that the
Senator is still factor in Ohio politics.
If we are not mistaken the elections
have decided one thing and that is,
that the Golden Rule will have TO look
out for itself in Ohio in the future.

Aguinaldo must think again. His
statement that the Democrats would
win in Tuesdays election evidences
his mental inaccuracy.
Pennsylvania is all right. Catch the
prosperous wage earners of this COM
snonweaith voting away their jobs!
Well, we guess not.

Admiral Dewey has not yet shown
willingness to fall prey to scheming
politicians who think his name and
fame would carry them into office.

Perhaps Democratic Chairman Jones
can explain away the results of the
election in the same self satisfied way
that he treated the subject of Republi-
can prosperity.
Mr.. Bryan owes it to himself, and he
owes it to the country to take brief
nap before starting on his 1900 cam
paign. The country needs rest very
badly at present.
AS the time approaches for the as
sembling of Congress, Mr.. Roberts, OF
Utah, popders more and more on the
problem whether or not marriage is a
failure.
Now that our industrial ills have been
cured by the Republican application
of protection and honest finance, the
people are not willing to be again plac-

Mr.. Mclean is in reality a resident

Mrs. Lease who was so prominent
many years ago in Populistic circles
and has since taken up spiritualism,
has no reason to wish to get back into
politics after an examination of the
election returns.
How does Mr.. Bryan stand on the
ruling proposition in Democratic south
ern states that their government shall
be controlled by white men, even if in
a minority? A good many of the gov

Illinois threatened to resign unless the
flag was hauled down in the Philip.

The copperheads who denounced
Lincoln and the Union army, always
did it in the name of the Gospel o.
Peace, just as their successors now de-
nounce the President, and through the
encouragement thus afforded they have
stained their souls with the blood of oul

Some people are declaring that ''the
Oest thought of New England is
against the Philippine policy of the
President. But it must not be forgot
ten that this was equally true of the
Louisiana purchase, the Oregon com
promise, the Florida purchase, the
treaty of peace with Mexico, and the
