DEMOCRATIC REASONS FOR 1T.

There are any number of reasons as
signed by the press and individuals of
the democratic party for their recent
defeat. The Chicago Chronicle, the
leading democratic paper of the west, is
very flank in its comment when it says:
The amazing result of election reveals
very conclusiVelv the monumental fact
that the democratic party did not spp-
port its canditqtcs. Mr. BRYAN is de
feated in 900 the MIR. Bryan Of 1896
There wa no ataoiatic reunion. On
the contr v. ere was open and pal
pable democratic disorganization, panic
and rout.
There are other conspicuous facts
which may as well be recognized In
the presence of the almost unexampled
disaster, which has fallen upon the DEM
ocratic organization at time when sue
cess ought to have been sure, it is plain
that Of all the men who might have been
nominated at Kansas City, Mr. Bryan
was the weakest before the people.
1t is plain that any one of hundred
sound money democrats standing upon
q gold standard platform, and advocat-
ing other Enthusiastically democratic ideas
would have received more votes than
Bryan received.
1t is plain that whatever policies pop
ulistic republicans and socialists may
propose as remedies for the evils of re-
publicanism, democrats cannot be led
to their support
Ii is plain that no Ian involved in
any way with the stupenduous financial
and economic olunder of 1895, can be
elected president of the United States
1t il plain that nothing is to be gained,
nothing is to be hoped for from q con-
tinuation of the immoral alliance now,
and for four years past substituting be-
tween the democratic organization and
that of the populists
1t is certain that the people of the
United States will not take their 20 iicies
from mongrel combination, who's first
purpose appears to be the driving away
in alarm Of men of business, men of
affairs, men of substance and men of in
telligence.
Ii is certain also that no alliance of
free silver republicans, populists and
democrats can in the face of innumera-
BILE democratic presidents in favor of
expansion and free trade, set metes and
bounds to the development of American
power and prestige in the politics and
commerce of the world
The price paid for this dismal expert
once has been prodigious, involving as

-FOUR YEARS MORE

The day following election the Chica-
go Inter-Ocean expressed its pleasure in
announcing to its readers the result and
said it means
-Four years more of honor 1T home and
respect abroad for the American flag.
Four years more of prosperity at home
and prestige abroad for the American
people.
-Four years more of progressive ag-
gressive and expansive Atu m
from tbs snow-clad mon III &
Alaska to tbe SURPRISED valleys tas
Philippines
Four years more of honest money,
honorable business methods, overlooking
bank vaults, solvent national treasury,
and full dinner pals.
-Four years more of American pride in
the prowess and pluck of the American
soldiers.
Four years more of freedom for the
farmer from mortgages, of the merchant
from bankruptcy, and the workingman
from idleness.
Four years more of immunity from
the whitening influence of populism aid
the blighting shadow of copperheadisrn.
Four years more of opportunity for
the American boy, of hope for the Amer
lean man, of profit for the American
producer, of success for the American
manufacturer, Of employment for Amer
lean capital
Four years more of everything that
makes for the glory, the stability, and
the perpetuity of the greatest republic
the sun ever shone upon.
1t means all these things, and it means
in addition that so long as intelligence,
courage and patriotism shall guide the
minds and move the hearts of American
citizens as they were guided and moved
yesterday this nation will never call in
vain for defenders of its honor, its insti-
buttons and its flag.

NEW CONGRESSIONAL AppoRrlosMEsr

The most important isature of the
totals of population of the various states
"a announced by the census bureau,
aside from the gains shown by the diff
ferent states is the fact that the totals,
when finally fixed, viii be the basis of

ly gi.iu two members, but Michigan
and Iowa would retain their present
representation Minnesota would prob
ably be the only state in the northwest

WISCONSIN MOVES UP.

Milwaukee Sentinel: Neither four
years ago, nor at this election. has Wis
consin given Mckinley a plurality larger
than any other states. In 1896 Pennsyl-
vania, New York. MASSACHUSETTS, and
Illinois were all ahead of Wisconsin in
mere numbers But N- applying what
is really fairer test, by looking at the
relation Of plurality to population. it
was found that Wisconsin ranked third,
behind Pennsylvania and Massachusetts,,
but ahead of New York and Illinois.
AT present it appears that Wisconsin,
the same test being applied. has moved
up from third place to second. being be-
hind Pennsylvania only. Such an honor
able position is notice to all whom 1t
may or may not concern that Wisconsin
is inhabited by persons who are straight,
keep their heads level, possess good Po-
liticsl sense and good business sense, and
have wholesome dislike of clap-trap.
States have character, and charac-
ter such a. Wisconsin 5 is both thing 10
be proud of and a valuable asset.

FROM PRESIDENT Mc'KlNLEYs SPEECHES
Good trade insures good will.

Good trade insures good will.
The free man cannot be long an ignor-
ant man.
Blessed is chat country whose defend

tribunal than the people
There are responsibilities, born of duty
that can never be retn3iated.
Reciprocity Of trala promotes recip
roaity of friendship
Phe aspir ton for knowledge is the
corner stone -or learning and liberty
AS long as we keep the homes pure,
so long will we keep our government
pure.
National politics can encourage indus.
Try and commerce, but it remains foI
the people to project and carry them on.
Every movement for the edifcation

In every emergency to which this
country has ever been subjected the
people have risen to the highest measure
of duty and of opportunity.
We have one flag and one destiny, and
wherever that destiny shall lead us we
will have hearts strong enough to meet
its responsibilities.
The American people have never fail
ed, no matter how great the emergency,
no matter how grave the crisis, to meas
ure mp to the highest responsibilities Of
honor and duty.
We cannot exalt patriotism too high
we cannot too much encourage love Of
country; for my fellow citizens, as long

American people, so long will our match
