Two Democratic Views of the Demo
cratic Defeat on Tuesday,.

Chicago. Nov. S.-The American,
democratic, w. r. Hearst's p says
Bryan would have been elected but for
the intrusion of the silver issue and the
policy of cutting loose entirely from
the Philippines.
The democratic party" it says has
paid for two defeats for the adoption
of an unpopular and ~discredited issue.
I" American public opinion be,
lieves in the retention of the Philip.
pines and in the extension to that Coun,
try of a truly American form of govern,
ment.
"Unquestionably the people are op.
posed to Mr.. Mckinley nd his policy
in the Philippines. But they reason
Thai if the islands are retained that
policy can be changed and a truly
American system established in the fu.
ture. while if they were abandoned al
together they never could be regained.
To give liberty to the Filipinos it was
not essential to grant independence.
Mr.. Mckinley will find it absolutely
necessary to establish liberty in the
Philippines and settle the affair of Por.
to Rico in accordance with American
traditions and if he defers that work
it will be done by a democratic presi
dent"
The Chronicle. democratic. said
There was no democratic reunion. Or
the contrary, there was open and pal
pable democratic disorganization, pan
ic and rout. OF all the men who might
have been nominated at Kansas City
Mr.. Bryan was the weakest before the
people.
1T is plain that nothing is to be gain
ed, nothing is to be hoped for from ;
continuation of the Immoral and de
grading alliance now and four years
past existing between the democratic
organization and that OF the populists
There has been but one real issuc

SECRETARY FOR IRELAND.
Mr.. Wyndham Will Be Appointed, But
Will Not Enter Cabinet.

New York, Nov. Il. is known OF
the best possible authority by the Lon
don correspondent of the Tribune that
Mr.. Wyndham will be chief secretary
for Ireland. His friends have counted
upon his admission to the cabinet as
a certainty. but they are doomed .
disappointment. Lord Cadogan will
not resign the viceroyalty and the chief
secretary will not be in the cabinet.
He has Irish blood, and what is better
knowledge of our sympathy with Ire.
land. Some of Mr.. Wyndham's shrewd-
est friends are inclined to congratulate
him upon escaping from the war Office
during the next five years. They did
not believe that the present govern
ment will be thoroughly in earnest in
reforming the military system and are
convinced in advance that half meas.
ures will be sternly disapproved by the
country.

Retire For a Democrat.

Chicago, Nov. With several dis:
tricts still to be heard from the repub,
lican strength of the lower house o.
the mex congress is placed at 203, as
against lag democrats and eight indie
pendents. This would be a majority
of Al, as compared with Is two years
ago.
The great changes have been in the
east. The republicans have gained
heavily in New York and Pennsylvania,
and there have also been changes in
some of the Mississippi valley states,
in Ohio and on the Pacific coast. Mich
igan. Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota
still have a solid republican delegation
MIA, which has elected seven republi-
can members.
Changes in the state are such as to
make that body even more republican
than it now is. The republicans have
carried Delaware, thus making sure of
two senators from that state.
They have also captured the legis.
lature in Utah. and this insures a re
publican member of the senate to fill
the vacancy which now exists. All the
returns indicate hat the republicans
have carried the Legislature in South
Dakota, insuring the defeat of Senator
Pettigrew.
In North Carolina, Marion Butler.
populist. will be replaced by a demo
crat. Making allowance for these
changes the senate will stand 50 repub-
licans, 26 democrats and nine indepen-
dents.
