A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE.
Republicanism Endorsed by Large
P1uralities In the Recent
State Elections.

The campaigns that eliminated in
the elections of November 5 were
fought mainly on national issues In
Iowa the issue was between stalwart
republicanism and Organism. Straight
out republicanism won by a plurality
of 10000 against plurality Of $4,000 in
1899. In Nebraska the real fight was
over platforms, the democrats indors-
ing Bryan and Organism, and the re-
publicans standing by the issues of
1900. With only minor candidates in
the field, the republicans carried the
state by plurality of 10000, against
republican plurality for governor last
year of sci.
In Ohio the democrats ignored free
silver but declared against the expan-
sion and tariff policies of the republican
party. Gov. Nash, on platform ia
voring the Mckinley policies, was re-
elected by plurality of 5000, against
a plurality of 49,023 two years ago. In
Pennsylvania the democrats evaded
lational and state issues and united
with the disaffecte6 republicans
against the republican state organiza-
don. On this platform of evasion they
were defeated by a plurality of $4,000.
In Massachusetts the democrats
went to the country On violent anti
expansion, anti-republican platform.
The republicans carried the state by
a plurality of over 10000, against a
plurality of $4,000 two years ago. In
New Jersey the same issues were pre-
scented, and the republicans elected
their governor by plurality of 5000,
against plurality in 1898 of 5,499 In
Rhode Island the fight was on national
issues, and the republicans carried the
state by plurality of 5, 900. In Maryland
there was a personal as well as a po-
litical issue.
In all the states except Maryland,
republican candidates and republican
policies were matched against demo-
cratic candidates and democratic
policies. The result is a vote of con-
fidence for the republican party and a
vote of confidence in President Roose-
welt, who, more than any other man,
represents the republican policies and
purposes of this day.-Chicago Inter

AN HONEST NAME.
An illinois Statesman Tells Good
StOry-knew His Fathers Son
Would Not Lie.

The Honorable Alva Merrill of
Chillicothe member of the Twenty
fourth District State of Illinois House
of Representatives tells an interest
ing story:
Some two years ago Mr.. Merrill
gave testimonial stating that Dodd's
Kidney Pills cured his rheumatism.
This, with Mr.. Merrilrs portrait, were
published in thousands of papers all
over the United States.
On the train returning home from
Springfield one day last winter were
the Honorable Mr.. Merrill and several
other members. After time one OF
them said:
Merrill, what time do you get to
Chillicothe?"
This attracted the attention of an
old man who had been apparently
awaiting some Identification of Mr..
Merrill and as soon as he heard the
name he rushed up to his seat and
extending his hand said:
s'You are Alva Merrill and you
saved my life. 1 was almost dead
with Lumbago and in an advertise
ment l saw your picture and your rec
ommendation of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
/ knew your father and [ knew his
son would not lie and therefore I de-
cided to try the Pills.
Il am satisfied that Dodd's Kidney
Pills and nothing else have saved my
life and 1 have been waiting this OPP
portunity to thank you personally, for
had / not seen your recommendation
| might never have been led to use
this remedy, but, thank God, through
your honest name and the honest
medicine which you so heartily rec
commended, l am still alive.
Il have been watching you since
you got on the train at Springfield
and thought l recognized your face
as the one / had seen in the adver-
tisement, and as soon as this gentle
man called you by name l knew you
were the gentleman | had to thank.

WEBS IN STREET CAR.
Kentucl<ian, Aged 20, Pursued by His
Sons, Is Forced to Get Married
in Haste.

j. NJ. Kidwell a grandfather from
Oldham county, Ky, led Miss Lucy
Wilson, blushing maid of 40 sum-
mers, to the front end of 4 bob-tail
country street car and they were mar
ried by q hastily picked up preacher
whom the accommodating driver had
provided. 1t was the brides first and
the bridegroom's third attempt. The
latter got through with it just in
time.
AS the preacher said, 81 declare you
man and wife," foam-covered horse
brought up undiscovered buggy on
the gallop. Two stalwart sons of the
bridegroom piled out. Their father
waved his hand gayly to them through
the window.
TOO late, boys" he laughed. Its
done"
Then the boys drove off without
offering congra tulations
Charles Ashcroft, the driver of the
bob-tailed country car that runs from
Louisville to Highland Park, eight
miles, was starting on his one p. m.
run when an old man with woman
hailed the car. The first question after
getting aboard was for magistrate.
Ashcroft offered the country police
man, but he would not do. Then the
couple told him they must get mar
ried, and quickly.
They're following us close, whip
up" begged the man.
The little mules never made that
eight miles so qpickly before. None
OF the passengers wanted TO get off.
1t was TOO much sport. As the car
stopped at Highland Park the driver
spied Rev. \. S. Lane and called him
aboard. In five inmates the ruraways
were man and wife.

THEY ARE STILL PAYING.
The State Elections Show What the
Free Silver Mistake Is Costing
the Democracy.

AS result of the state elections
the democrats will gain one United
States senator from Kentucky and
probably another from Maryland, but
they have no cause for national re-
joicing. If the south has swung
back with some appearance of re-
newed loyalty the more significant
returns from the north are most dis
couraging. The great republican
pluralities of Iowa, Ohio and Massa-
chusetts, the republican gain in Ne
braska, the persistence with which
that former democratic state, New
Jersey, now adheres to the repub-
lican column prove that democratic
strength lis still wanting where it is
most needed.
The continued prosperity of the
country under republican admin
istration explains the situation in
part, and probably the democrats
lost much more than they won last
year by their paramount issue of i'm
perialism because the people are al
ways disposed to back the govern
ment in a foreign war or in war
for the retention of territory legit-
imateIy acquired. But the first great
handicap was the Chicago platform
of 1896, and it's ruinous influence may
be discovered in every campaign
since.
If the stars in their courses are
not fighting against the party the
treasury statistics are, and they are
more efficacious than any purely po-
litical agency. The vivid oratory OF
an army of stump speakers, the rhe-
torical pleas of partisan newspapers
have not 1.-THE of the eloquence OF
the figures which utterly discredit
the free silver propaganda. Instead
of that cruel financial stringency
which was predicted we have to-day
an unprecedented supply Of money,
the largest per capita circula lion on
record.
A restoration of confidence in dem
ocratic leadership is impossible I'M
der the circumstances. People who
have an antipathy for the republican
party and who cannot support it
with any enthusiasm are driven to
it by the incontrovertible monetary
facts. The democracy will never re-
claim them until it has reclaimed
itself and repudiated the once power
full faction which has made it ride
ulous by prophecies that were re-
fnted by events almost as soon as
they were uttered.
The injury is so deep that it could
not be healed Immediately even by a
complete revolution in the control of
the party, but some such radical
change is indispensable to begin with.
1t is unquestionably safer policy
to defy detection and third ticket
than to attempt compromise. De-
feat might be certain in either case,
but compromise would leave the or
ganization wrecked again while the
escape from past heresies under
leadership that had always denounced
them would at least justify hopes for
the future.-Chicago Record-Herald.

POLITICAL DRIFT.

GA good many democratic papers
are wasting energy in trying to SNUG
gle in free trade in the disguise of
reciprocity.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.
OSome democrats are talking of
nominating Admiral Schley for presi-
dent in 1904. This preference for an
Old salt is mean intima ton that they
think Bryan too fresh.-Troy Times.
Ex-senator Hanna's drawing power
on the stump is as great as ever. He is
star of the first magnitude in the
present campaign. The predictions
which were made few weeks ago
that he would cut little figure in poll
tics after the death of President Nc
Kinley look ridiculous enough now

Ex-senator Tillman, who is travelling
the country, declared in Kansas City
last week that President Roosevelt, in
inviting niger 10 dine with him, had
butted his head against stone wall

extended a similar hospitality to a
colored man, it may be assumed that
the Tillman brand of democracy diff
fers from the Jefferson in some essen
tial features. -Indianapolis Journal.
