A Sweeping Victory.

1t was the expected that happened,
Tuesday last, but it is none the less well
come to Republicans. Ii they are not
satisfied with this election it is difficult
to conceive what would be satisfactory
short of "the earth" The reelection of
Mckinley and the return of a Republic
can House of Representatives is certain
" victory of magnitude sufficient to
Justify joy and rejoicing.
This election should retire Bryan from
the political arena and dispense of Bry-
suism forever. One crushing defeat is
usually enough to dispose of a political
leader but Bryan seemed to thrive under
that of 1896. What will he do under the
second. more decisive and emphatic than
the first?
The Democratic party will be likely
to look elsewhere for standard bearer,
four years hence. The dogma that
brought Bryan into prominence, free
silver and unlimited coinage on the ratio
Of l6 to l, had to be abandoned by him
early in the campaign just closed, and
this form of semi-repudiation will prob
ably never again be a serious issue n
American politics.
The issues raised by the Democratic
party this year were very largely dema-
gOgic, and the American voters have had
the good sense to detect and repudiate
them. They have faith in the patriot
ism, the integrity and the ability Of
President Mckinley and his advisers and
have expressed it at the polls in a man
ner that does not admit of misappre-
tension.
The country experiences sense of
relief that an impending evil has been
Verted, crisis has been safely passed
and the continued welfare of the coun-
try is assured. Another term of four
years of the rule of an administration
that has demonstrated its ability to meet
Issues as they arise and that has a
sanding among the nations Of the earth,
Is to be contemplated without apprehen-
zion. Bryan as President would have
been an experiment at best. From this
we are saved

The returns from Illinois betray like
condition The Republican plurality
of 1896 was greatly reduced, but it is
still far too large to be overcome. On
the other hand the returns from Indiana,
Michigan, the two Dakotas, Utah and
Wyoming, as well as Nebraska, seem to
indicate stEong Republican gains over
1886 Delaware, Maryland and West
Virginia gave decisive Republican plu-
raltties.
The count in several of the-farwestern
states was naturally 50 delayed as to
give little indication of the outcome
there, but they had ceased to have de-
termined effect and before 10 O'Clock
last night the Democratic leaders had
given up the contest, and it WAS an
nounced that Mr.. Bryan had gone to bed
and was sound asleep.
The whole story was easily and briefly
told: The Republican ticket would
have larger electoral vote than four
years ago, but in the larger states of the
east and middle west the pluralities had
been greatly reduced.

Dear Sir Consider one point, if you
please, in painting your work-a point.
on which the practice of painters is apt
to be wrong-the printing.
The usual practice is to use cheap
ochre for printing. Don't do it. Use
the same paint you are going TO use for
the other two coats.
The reason for cheap ochre is: it is
Cheap poo" reason. The saving is
very SMALL few cents on the side of a
house-and the damage considerable.
Cheap ochre is very poor stuff; not fit for
foundation paint; not fit for the bond
between paint and wood. And printing
is both foundation and bond.
Devoe is your paint; the same for all
coats; lead and zinc; best paint in the
world. We have no monopoly of it.
Others can make it they choose to make
inferior paint. Lead and oil lasts halt
as long as Devoe.
This is an absurd condition in the
paint business; but it exists. Devoe Is
your paint.
Yours truly,
66 r. w. DEVOE & Co.
