WeE- Candidate Foss is defeated in q
Republican district, and a Democrat
is elected. Like the man who got his
face tots near the mules heel, he
doesn't look so pleasant as he did, but
he knows more
Candidate McC1eary in the second
district of Minnesota is returned to
Congress by a majority of over 5000.
Four years ago Mr.. McCleary's dis
trict, composed of eighteen counties,
gave him a majority of 5,242, and he
carried sixteen of the counties This
year, with his district cut down to
eleven counties by reappointment. his
majority is upward of 5000, and he
carries every county Candidate Nc
Cleary stood for protection straight
and stalwart. This is what he said
in one of his campaign speeches:
MY fight is not with my Democratic
opponent, but with one or two am
bilious Republicans who are going up
and down the countryside talking free
lumber, free lumber and who hope to
be candidates for Congress against me
two years from now viii
not betray the interests you have
placed in my hands. 1 am not for free
hides, free wool, free food products
or Tree lumDor, ana Will not say lHdl 1
am here to catch your votes or court
your favor. 1 am not a trimmer, nor
do you want trimmer to represent
you. You want a man with the cour-
age of his convictions
Evidently that was precisely what
the people of the second Minnesota
district wanted, for they sent Mr.. Nc
Cleary back to Congress with a COM
pliment and an Endorsement equal to
any that was ever bestowed upon
candidate for office. This they did in
spite of the fact that the entire Re
publican daily press of ST. Paul and
Minneapolis were in direct antagonism
to the principles for which Mr.. Nc
Cleary stood. The ST. Paul Dispatch,
a pretended Republican newspaper.
made special mark of Congressman
McCleary, and the Pioneer-Press of St
Paul and the Tribune and Journal OF
Minneapolis showed no good will to-
ward his campaign by preaching tariff
revision and free trade in chunks and
spots The measure of their influences
upon public sentiment in the second
district is shown by Mr.. McCleary's
election by an increased majority.
The defeat of Foss and the election
of McCleary are a distinct gain to
sound Republicanism, to true protec.
tionism and to the percentage of high
class craftsmanship in the National
House of Representatives

CANDLES IN NEW ORLEANS.

More Consumed in That City Than Ia
Any Other Place.
THE candle never goes out in New
Orleans" said man who is connected
with a big candle manufacturing con-
Germ, land 1 suppose the consumption
of candles in New Orleans is greater
than at any other place in the world,
proportionately, and where gas, cleo
tricity and oil are also used for light
ing purposes. 1t will only require a
few moments reflection to explain
why this is. Take All Saints day, for
instance. Did you ever think about
the. large number of candles that are
used on this day in the pretty observ-
ances which mark this day of flowers
and sentiment? The use of candles is
by no means confined to any one re-
hgious denomination on All Saints
day, but, of course, in the Catholic
cemeteries they are used more extern
sively than elsewhere. And of course,
the extensive use of candles in other
observances of q religious nature has
a great deal to do with swelling the
enormous number of candles used
here. They are of all kinds, too, and
all sizes. Candles of the finest Dos
sible make are sold in the New Or
leans market, and play a part in the
pretty ceremonia1s which mark the
life In this quaint old place And cam
dies of the cheaper grades are used.

NOVEMBER RESULTS.
slGNIFIcANcE OF THE EI.Ec-
TIONS OF 1902.
II Is in the States of the Middle
West and Far West That Republic
anism Shows the Largest Gains and
the Greatest Strength.

Perhaps some of the political 1ogi-
clans who so confidently figure out of
the returns of the elections of Novem-
Der pressing demand for tariff
revision at the hands of the Repub-
Hcan party would do well to revise
their calculations. 1t has been as
serted over and over again that the
West is the chief storm center of tariff
revision sentiment. The vote at this
years election does not bear out that
contention. 1t is a curious and sig
nificant fact that the West shows ire
mendous Republican gains Let us
compare results in 1898 with results il
1902. Both being midPresidential
years, the comparison is fairer and
more instructive than that between
1900 and 1902. OF the fifteen States
west of the Mississippi river the Re
publicans carried eight and the Demo
Gratis seven, four years ago. This
year but one of these States, the So
called rotten borough" of Nevada
has been carried by the Democrats.
The majorities in the fifteen trans
mississippi States in 1898 and 1902, re-
spectively, were as follows:

1898.

ties .143. $50 69O5O 279, 100 500
I Here is an extraordinary reversal.
The total Republican majorities in
these identical States in 1898, when
only eight out of the fifteen were Re
publican, were 74,800. This year the
Republicans carry fourteen out of the
/ fifteen States and the total majority
has swollen to 278,6 800, while the Dem
ocratic majority of 69,O5O in seven
states four years ago has fallen to a
paltry 500 in a single State, Nevada
in 1902! Does that look as though
the itch for tariff tinkering was cpl
demic in the West? The answer
must be No, when we consider that
in the fifteen ns-Mississippi States
the Republicans have this year elected
fOrty-nine and the Democrats nine
iRepres in Congress. Four
years ago the Republicans elected
forty and the Democrats twelve. In
spite of the fact that reapportionment
has increased by seven the total num-
Der of Representatives from these
Estates the Democrats lose three and
the Republicans gain nine as COM
pared with four years ago.
! States west of the Mississippi river
that six years ago were rated as
were relied upon with certainty for
Bryan electoral votes have been
turned to the Republican party one by
one, until in 1902 but one of the fifteen
States is carried by the Democrats
What has wrought this tremendous
revolution in the central and far west
ern states? The answer is protec-
Ition and it's fruits. There is not the
slightest doubt of this In these
states the efforts of The American
Protective Tariff League have for
several years been especially concen-
trated. The facts of protection pros
iperity have been persistently and eff.
fectively brought home to the voters
IN these States. They have found out
what protection means to them. They
are sending increased delegations OF
protectionists to represent them in
Congress. What for? To tear down
protection? To tinker the Dfngley
tariff? To unsettle business. to di
minish the consumption of farm prod
ucts and to lower prices? Is that
what the great central west and the
great far west have just voted for:
The man who thinks so is blind and
deaf to obvious facts and conditions
Tariff reform clearly is not strone
in the agricultural and mining States
of the West. There they stand for the
tariff as it is, for protection and pros
perity. Protection in the West saved
the lower House to the Republican
party in 1898. 1t has done it again in
1902. Protection will always save me
Republican party. Anything short OF
it will always ruin the Republican
party and the country
