l hdnSdS mas returned to the repuOll- can fold and did so with emphasis with plurality of 25,OOO. Bryan's calamity howls did not count this year.
 Democratic leaders claim Kentucky by ll,00O, while the republicans also claim to have carried the state.
 Washington gave her electoral vote four years ago to Bryan, but this year transferred it to Mckinley with a 5000 majority.
 Fusionists claim the Nebraska legis- lature. They may send Bryan to the senate.
 New Mexico has placed herself in line for favorable legislation from con gress, having elected republican del egate to congress.
 Republican traitors as well as the recognized foe of the republican party came under the ban of the vot- CTS. Witness the fate of Pettigrew and Wellington.
 Democrats, of Prescott, who have taken conspicuous part in helping to defeat Governor Murphy no doubt feel proud of their work. If they have benefited themselves by it their pride is probably justifable. They certainly have not benefited Arizona any.
 One of the things Delegate-elect Rodey of New Mexico is pledged to secure is a military post for Albu- querque. Being in line with the pow CTS at Washington, he stands good show for success.
 Wonder if Jones has heard from those hfty-eight doubtful states which the Hollanders, anti-expansionists, Germans and others were to carry for Bryan, but which gave their electoral vote to Mckinley four years ago. He may be waiting for these returns be- fore telling How it happened"
 E6-members of the Twentieth leg islative assembly seem to have been showed under at the recent election, wherever they came up for reelection, with one or two exceptions. One of the fortunate ones who met with favor in the eyes of his constituents was Colonel Mike Gray, of Cochise county. Two notable cases of defeat are Senator Bunch of Coconino, and W. s. Adams of Yavapai.
 Mir. Bryan has sent a telegram to the New York Journal, sa aying that under no circumstances will he accept the office of United States senator even were it rendered him. He says: q made my fight for president and lost. l am not going to take other mems positions from them" This is a new principle in politics. It has heretofore been understood that an official position was any ones who could get it.
 Ii the democrats who are inclined to crow over their victory in this terri tory can find anything in it which will be of any material or substantial benefit to the territory let them speak up and the republicans will stand in with them to enjoy it, As viewed from business stand point the only object attained by Mark Smiths cleo tion is partisan victory whereby the voters will have put about S13,OOO into his pockets during the next two years for which they will receive nothing in return. Mark can have a good time with the money, though, in Washington, and can soliloquize "What fools those mortals be-"
 Four years ago Bryan had the ad- vantage of having the confidence of the American people as to his integ- rity and honesty of purpose. While his doctrines were considered erron- eous, his motives were never ques- tioned. Abandoning to the extent of at least never mentioning the issue of four years ago after getting it inserted Tn the platform, and hunting up new issues, denouncing trusts, while at the same time fawning upon the members of one of the most grinding trusts in the country, shrieking for the freedom and independence of a lot of savages in the Philippines, while closing his eyes to the expressions at home of the | colored race by the party he repre- sents; these, with other vagaries and l inconsistencies, lost for him the conf; dence formerly reposed in him of hon: esty of motives and branded him as a political demagogue, with the result . that his defeat has been more over whelming than it was four years ago.
 Our contemporary throws a great big bouquet at itself this morning for the alleged results achieved by it dur ing the campaign. It must be very gratifying indeed to it. It made its fight solely on Governor Murphy. It is published and circulated in a county that is strongly democratic as shown by returns, every candidate 0n the ticket, with two exceptions possibly, being elected, by good sub Stantial majorities and that through heir own efforts, for while their ( party paper was fighting Murphy they were in the field rustling for Toters and keeping democrats in line or them. Governor Murphy, against whom its ''taXless toot, illegal bond" e was waged so bitterly, gets {
 majority in the county over its J toots" to close to 600, or greater than g hat of the democratic candidates in a ! county. This result cer- c ainly deserves a little self congratu- Ii ltion. If the candidates on the tl Ounty republican ticket had only ly ucceeded in drawing the Couriers h
