Sweeping Democratic Triumph i'm
Missouri.

The second day after the election
Mr.. Dockery said in an interview:
The indications are that my plu-
rality viii exceed 80, 900 in the State.
Mr.. Bryan's plurality may reach from
SO, 900 to 40, 900 because of the unan-
unity with which he was supported by
organized labor and by the Railway
employees of the State"
Mr.. Dockery's prediction has been
fully indicated.
The official count has been complet-
ed and gives Dockery $50. 649; Flory
81, 9O2; Hills (PopulisD 1857; Stokes
(Pro.) 5194; Lipscomb Social Dem.)
5576; Fry Social Labor 1918; scatter
ing 8; total vote 684,894. Dockery's
plurality is 2.747, his majority over
all being Is, 404. : Bryan received $751;
913 votes and leads Dockery by 1864
votes, the loss In the main being due
to the labor vote in St. Louis, sup
plemented by a slight loss from the
railway vote throughout the State.
In view of the claims of Republican
.sgains" we submit some comparisons
which conclusively refute such asser-
tons.
In 1879 Tilden's plurality was So
289 and Phelps plurality 81, 1856.
In 1880 Hancock's plurality was 55,-
o42 and the plurality for Crittenden
4 ,O34.
In 1884 Cleveland's plurality was
80, O59. while Marmaduke's plurality
was 10, S46, his majority over all be-
ing All.
In 1888 Cleveland's plurality was
%, 701, Francis plurality being 2,233.
Francis lacked 1854 votes of a major
lty over all.
In 1892 Cleveland's plurality was
40. 1874. while Stones plurality was 49,
gel. Stone was 1O,991 short of a
majority.
In 1896 Bryau's plurality was So. 1877
and Stephens plurality was 1888,
Stephens majority oyer all being 49,
1853. Bryan was supported by a per-
feet fusion and Stephens by a partial
fusion which accounts for their large
pluralities. The average plurality of
the Lieut.. Governor and the remainder
of the Democratic state ticket in 1896,
where there was no fusion, was Sc, 1865
and the average majority over all
opposition was only 7,643.
In 1900 Bryan's plurality is 1890.
Dockery's plurality is 32,747 and his
majority over all, 16,404. The loss
is almost solely due to the labor vote
in St. Louis, the result of the street
car strike, reinforced by the appeals
of Chiefs Arthur, Sargent and Clark
heretofore published) asking railway
and labor employees to support Flory
because of his Union Labor member
ship.
Ia view, therefore, OF this official ex-
hibit, we may be permitted to ask Re-
publicans where are their boosted
gains? The Missouri Democracy has
increased the number of counties I'm
der Democratic control; increased the
Democratic congressman from 1S to IA;
increased the majority in the House of
Representatives from % to 40; in
creased the majority on joint ballot in
the Legislature from 40 to Sc and in
creased both its average plurality and
majority in the State. That this has
beer accomplished in the face of the
best organized fight made by the Re-
publican party since the war, and in
spite of the tidal wave against US
almost everywhere else, is a high
tribute to the courage and loyalty of
the banner Democratic State of the
Democrat.
