What COlOradO's Vote shows.

The reduction of the overwhelming Bryan
majority given by Colorado in 1896 affords
an interesting commentary on the campaign
methods of the two parties in this cam
paign- Colorado is one of the free coinage
strongholds. Its senior republican senator
a man high in his party, led the dramatic
detection at St. Louis in 1896. When the
votes were counted IN November of that
year it found that the state had gone
for Bryan almost unanimously. He re-
ceived ~ per cent of the total vote cast
When the campaign of this year opened
Colorado WAS regarded as hopeessly Bry-
anized No particular effort was made to
carry the state for Mckinley. for it was
recognized that IN order to appeal to the
eXpansionist sentiment there. which was
known to be strong. 1t would be necessary
for the republican managers to subordinate
the currency question, which had been de-
clared To be, as in 1896. the paramount
issue"
Had the campaignerS been sent into Colo
RADIO for the purpose of covering over the
free silver matter and rousing the republic
cans on the prosperity and expansion is
sues. 1t might have been possible, as at
tested by the results achieved by a half
hearted campaign. to carry the state for
Mckinley. But the gain of four elect
oral votes would not have been worth
the unfortunate effect such a display of in
sincerity would have assuredly had upon
the east. The campaign was conducted IN
Colorado as in New York. upon all features
of the Philadelphia platform, and not upon
a single plank. selected to suit the preju-
dices of the locality.
Herein the republican canvass differed, to
its credit, from that conducted by Mr..
Bryan His was a geographical campaign
from the outset. He had two lines of ar
gument, anti-expansion in sound money dis
tricts and Chicagoesque in the states where
the free silver sentiment was strong in
1896 But this style of campaigning went
out of vogue when the telegraph and the
newspaper press became factors in the
electioneering. 1t Is impossible today to
play dual or triple roles on the stump with
out detection.

Yacht Racing and Horse Racing.

The news from Glasgow that work on
Shamrock ii begins this week ought to be
welcome throughout the United States
Sir Thomas Upton has shown himself to
be a sportsman of the highest type and
we should all be glad to see him again with
a mission of friendly contest for the fam
Gus cup. We shall probably be ready for
him with a good boat of own, as we
were last year. prepared to defend the
prize to the best of our ability. But If we
are to lose 1t to anybody we could not lose
it to worthier gentleman. Next years
races therefore will take place in circum-
stances assuring the widest degree of in
terest on both sides Of the Atlantic.
This contest. indeed. may In some meas
ure relieve the bad feeling which has late
iy sprung up with regard to the particlpa-
ton of Americans in the principal turf
events in England There are grave
charges of unfairness and irregularities
against both American riders and train
ers, and a sort OF boycott has been urged
by the sporting press of London. That a
very great deal Of this is but the mani
festation of the poor loser is clear enough
from the stress that is laid upon the
American style Of riding. The English seat
Is stiff and but little round shouldered.
The American seat takes cognizance of
nothing but to rush the mount along. The

and to let him out, but to Tiff" him. II
need be, over the line in a close finish.
1t does not matter IL in doing this he
squats like a monkey and hugs his horse.
1t would be entirely legitimate II he rode
hanging over the horses side. after the
old fashion of the Comanche brave in re-
treat. If he did not collide with rival or
block the way.
This much of the pending complaint is
nonsense. The American rider, instead of
being condemned. should be copied He Is
not in the saddle to help make a racing
picture or for his health, or to preserve an
old style of riding, but to get every foot
of speed out of his mount that may be in
him: and it is nothing to the real point
whether he looks monkeyfied or not.
For all legitimate complaints there
should be full investigation. Horse racing
and yacht racing are contests that appeal
strongly to men of the English-spea king
race, and Englishmen and Americans are
natural rivals in both fields. Everything
therefore calculated to keep both fields
clean and above suspicion should be done
and acquiesced in by both sides. Fair play;
and may the best racing machine on land
or sea carry the day! America Is not
afraid Of such contests.

Tuesdays Most Emphatic Rebnke.

Some of the calculations of the Bryan
ties were extremely shorts!ghted and alb
surd, and all good citizens. regardless OF
party. may well rejoice that they were
thoroughly exposed and defeated at the
polls.
To begin with, there was the secret eff
fort made TO array members Of the Roman
Catholic communion against the administra
ton, on the charge that churches had been
desecrated by American soldiers in the
Philippines, and that the interests OF that
church would, as a rule. suffer in the Phil
ippines and in Porto Rico. the result of
American authority. Nothing more false
could have been concoCted; and yet the
charge widely circulated under cover,
and lively hopes of profit from it were en-
tertained. The interview with Archbishop
Ireland, however, who, fresh from Rome,
spoke directly to the point, left the au-
thUrs and disseminators of that nonsense
without a leg to stand on.
Next came those individuals who fattered
themselves that they carried the German
American vote in their pockets. And this
vote they were to throw soldly to MIR.
Bryan on the issue of imperialism. Mr..
Bryan was caught with the chaff. His
Indianapolis speech of acceptance was moth
ing but u bid for the German vote, made on
the representations of a few men who traf
fic in campaign years on their German
birth. But it failed absolutely. 1t has
again been Unconstitutional this time
most impressively-that the German-Ameri
can vote, so-called thinks and acts without
regard to its self-appointed guardians and
Interpreters. and that it cannot be fright
ened or Influenced by the use of spooks 1t
is for sound money and good government,
now, as at all times.
Then we mad that assurance that the
wage-earners were an army of sneaks and
hypocrites, willing to march under one BAN
ner and secretly vote under another. This
was the tribute of the unspeakable Croker,
who. measuring others in his own half
bUshel insulted his fellow-townsmen on pa
of the whole country. What Tammany
was willing to do and had often done-pro-
fess one thing and do another-it was cal
cu'atng on from hundreds of thousands Of
self-respecting and respected citizens. OF
course the result showed that Tammany
was no judge of such men, or Of the con-
ditiOns that surrounded them. Organized
labor stood up to the administration whose
policies had so greatly benefited it.
All in all, indeed, those individuals who
tried to foment creed hatreds, race hatreds
and class hatreds in this country for par
tIsan purposes were roundly and soundly
rebuked at the polls Tuesday.

The Country Saved Again.
From the Boston Herald.

Now, fellow citizens. let us return to our
mutton. We have saved the country again,
in accordance with our regular quadrennial
habit. and it will be four years before the
political hobgoblins will again be rugged up
to disturb our national happiness and Sc
renity. The returns may not be altogether
satisfactory to every body, but it is now in
cumbent upon everybody to bow to the will
of the majority, as it has been expressed
through the ballot boxes, and make the
best of it. For several months we have
been hurting dc lance at each other through
sundry means of communication Now let
us all come together and shake hands, pay
your bets and enter into the full enjoyment
of the prosperity that is in store for each
and all Of us, without distinction OF party

comes


From the New York Evening Post.
Ordinarily the section from which can
didate receives his chief support is dis
tressed over his defeat. Four-tifths of
Bryans electoral votes are furnished by
the SOUTH but outside of the office seekers
few intelligent democrats in that part of
the country regret that he failed to secure
a majority. The support given him in those
states has b; purely perfunctory; they
did not indorse ms attitude toward eXpan-
sion, and they have ceased to worship free
coinage. Any democratic candidate on any
platform would have carried all of the COM
mOnwealthS between the Potomac ana the
Rio Grande, except West Virginia., this
year, but there are encouraging signs that
the men of that section will no longer be
content to cast ballots which do not repre-
sent their IDEAS and to support candidates
whom they desire the rest of the nation to
defeat.

One Of the marked features of TUESDAYS
voting Is that Mckinleys eastern piuran-
ties Shrank materially from the sc figures,
while his western pluralites-or, in some
states still carried by Bryan. his votes
were materially increased. In round NUM-
bers. as the returns are now at hand
these changes show considerable republi-
can balance On the basis of the votes
cast in the eastern and the western states
Mckinley's popular plurality ought to be
recorded at an even larger figure than in
1SS. This does not take into consideration
the southern states, where there have been
heavy changes effecting democratic loss in
the totals. Thus, In Louisiana there is evil
dent falling of which may amount to
5000. Texas shows an equal loss in demo-
cratic votes. while there Is a shrinkage Of
approximately 10000 in South Carolina and
In other states. hardly. to be balanced by
the few southern states which have thus
far reported slight democratic Increases
such as Georgia and North Carolina
Further analysis OF these figures is neces
sary. in the light OF exact reports, to de-
termine the causes OF the changes thus
shown In the east ard the west. The south
ern changes speak for themselves. showing
lack of concern in the face of certain
success. Rough calculate already made
however, indicate that there has been in
tact no real falling off In the republican
vote in the east. but that there has been
on the other hand a swelling Of the demo-
cratic vote. This phenomenon may be &C.
counted for on the theory that there were
many thousands of democrats who refused
to vote In 1895, or who threw away their
ballots by voting for Palmer and Buck
ner and who In 1900 yentured to cast their

are also sounds of dissent from the reor-

Carter Harrison speaks a kindly word for
Mr.. Bryan. John p. Atgeld declares that
no other democrat could have polled as
many votes. Senator Cockrell declares that
no reconstruction of the party is necessary.
Is the line of difference to be geograph-
ical? The early suggestions indicate that
the impending conflict will be between the
democratic leaders of the east and those
of the west and south. There are able
fighters in both divisions. One on each
side has just published a statement which
perhaps reveals the real issue. Ex-senator

lum who had been out hunting at Morris
Park, l.. l.. on Tuesday, he deliberately
aimed his rifle at her head and blazed away.

In the west the figures are as yet too un-
certain to permit much close reckoning.
The general drift, however. seems to have
been such as to restore the farmer vote Of
the middle west to the republicans and to
place an increased percentage OF the labor
vote IN the democratic column The west,
in fact, has seemed to restore the condt-
tions which prevailed prior to 1892. The re-
duction of Colorados Bryan plurality from
13i.SS2 to about 5000; the change of a
Bryan plurality of 1920 in Kansas into a
Mckinley plurality of b. 600; the increase of
Californias Mckinley plurality from z,797
to ~ 600; the overturning of Nebraska from
a Bryan plurality of 1856 to a Mckinley
plurality of perhaps 5000; the reversal of
an infinitesimal Bryan margin in South Da-
kota into a 5000 Mckinley plurality; the
capture of Utah by nearly 5000 despite its
Bryan plurality of 81. O33 in 1896; an in
crease in Oregon Of 10000 and a reversal in
Washington from 49, 93 democratic to 1o.0O)
republican plurality all show the extent Of
the republican reaction west Of the Missis-
sppi.
In addition. the pluralities in the middle
west. with the single exception of Illinois.
where there is a republican loss Of probably
10000. are striking and significant, Michi-
gan rising by 10000. Ohio by 1900. Wis
consn by 5000, Indiana by 1900 and
North Dakota by 5000.
Should there have been this action and
reaction in the past two campaigns, as at
tested by the preliminary returns, 1t will
almost surely show the republican party
the ultimate gamer by the movement. EX-
act statistics may yet show that a large
proportion of the previously democratic
vote which in 1896 went to swell Mckin-
ley's piuralities in the. east has become
permanently republican, while a smaller
percentage of the formerly republican vote
which in 1899 became populistic and in 1896
drifted to Bryan has remained outside of
the old allegiance
