MCKINLEY AGAIN ELEcrEp.

MCKINLEY AGAIN ELECTED.
The country has gone Republi-
can, and William Mckinley has
been reelected President The
electoral vote Of nearly all those
States that were considered doubt
ful has been cast for the Republi-
can nominee.
In the great States Of Illinois,
Indiana New York and Ohio and
in many Of the New England and
Northern States Republican ma
jorities were cut down, but the
Democratic gains were not heavy
enough to swing them to the Bry-
an column. Nebraska is close, but
Kentucky is safely Democratic.
The Democrats concede Mary
land has declared for Mckinley.
The South and Southwest went
Democratic byincreased majorities.
The West is loyal to Bryan.
In the Northwest Mckinley has
made large gains.
The next Congress is Republi-
can in both Of its branches.
One Of the striking features OF
the membership of the new Con-
gressis the small number of Pop
ulists, Silver Republicans and Flu
sionists who will hold seats in the
Senate and House. The election
Tuesday seems to indicate that the
Populist party has ceased to be an
important factor in the politics Of
the country.
The tier Of States west Of the
Mississippi, in which Populism hat
Its greatest development, have re
turned to the Republican party.
The Republican victory in th'
Congressional election will have
most important bearing upon thu
policy of the administration. Tn,
President will accept the result al
d yindication Of his policies, anc
these policies will be continued
with redoubled energy.

The Democracy Of old Benton
failed to do her duty Tuesday by
not polling a full vote. Tt was no
more than we expected, and the
Democrats have received a valua-
bic lesson at the hands Of the rule
OF ruin patriots who, with Repub-
ican aid, quietly fixed things to
their own notion. It will be worth
something to remember this in the
future.

Mr. Lincoln soon came In and made
himself known. He said he also had
to spend the evening making up an
argument upon a mining case. and he
knew less about mines than about any
thing else. In an hour the professor
finished his work and retired, but be-

court TO hear Mr. Lincoln present bis
arguments. He reached the scene In
time for the opening speech by his
roommate, and he staid all through
the session.
Although Mr. Lincoln spoke for over
