Reflections on the Election,

Well, WAS it not Il WhirlWind that
swept over the country Tuesday? To
be sure every republican expected a
victory and the more Sanguine,
expected a landslide but there were
few who really expected such Il deluge
Of votes as buried beyond hope of
resurrection the democratic party on
the 9th Of November. All the new
tangled issues that have inspired the
floods of democratic OratOry that a
long suffering and patient populace
have been obliged to listen TO for four
years, 1T least, have been swept
away by this election ayalanch and
buried in oblivian so deep that it
would be miraculous if they were
heard Of again. Free silver, the
trusts, imperialism and all the
pOpuliStiC Side-lightS of the democratic
platform will only be remembered as
the tinScled creations OF democratic
politicians who wished to make them
stepping-StoneS to power. They are
dead: and every business man, every
laboring man and in fact the whole
population should rejoice that their
claim to recognition us issues in this
country are bIOtted out Of existence
The business world will breath a
sigh of relief that this nightmare of
the recent past can trouble it no
more. The future was never brighter
with promise than it is today. A
great expansion in our markets is
sure to follow, and the busy thrift
and prosperity of all citizens will soon
allay the rancorS of q heated political
campaign, and even the democrats
will rejoice that the people did not
see tit to allow them to oyerturn
existing conditions and turn us adrift
on an untried sea of experiments.
