In the west it is conceded the Re-
publcans knew the ground better than
1neir opponents, and it is but fair to
say that they worked it admirably for
all that it would yield. The great
western corn fields had yielded album
dainty. The farmers were getting bet
ter prices than for many years for
everything they could produce, which
is always the case in years of big corn
crops. Mark Hanna had sounded the
watchword that set them thinking.
pat They let well enough alone. The
farmers of Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota,
Nebraska and in0eed, all the rural
population of the middle and far
northwestern states forgot the perlls
OF a protective tariff, and its mon
strous creature, the trust, in their con-
temptation of the full corn crib.
Such a year of good times for the
farm as was the experience in that
region does not occur once in de-
cade The standpat philosophy does
not admit of the reflection how much
better Off and to what greater degree
of prosperity would come to the farm
er with the benefcence of good
season, if the tariff and the laws re-
gulating competition were adjusted
to the end of afforuing equal oppor-
tunities, as advocated by the Demo
cratic party. Where the Democrats
have made most gains has been as
rule in the centers of urban popula-
tons The people in the cities, while
having no increase in the incomes,
have had to pay dearer for bread
and meat and for everything that
makes life endurable; the trusts have
pinched and squeezed them and a
good crop year-a good corn crop
year-has added nothing to their abil-
ity to save their earnings.
The Republicans, in view OF the
fact the twenty-nine members have
been added to the new house, and that
they have forty-two majority in the
present house, with twelve less than

STILL NOT TERRIFIED
DEMOCRATS HAVE. STRONG
HOPES FOR SUCCESS IN 1904.
Against Serious Odds With
Decided Apathy.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Now that it
seems to be definitely settled that the
Republicans have the next house by
a majority OF from iwenty-four to thlr-
ty, the Democrats who are still unter-
rified are looking about and around
for consolation. They behold result
fraught with fruitful cause for politi-
cal study A great fight has been
made for the control of the house,
but it has been against serious odds.
Campaign money has been scarce and
campaign speakers few and far be-
tween. There was the apathy of the
off-year. There were the signs OF
prosperity. born of kindly seasons,
which the Republican party, being in
power, greedily set down to its credit.
President Roosevelt had gone on the
stump and given his assurance that
something was going to be done to reg
ulate the trusts. Republican candi-
dates here and there spoke out for
tariff revision, and many a Republi-
Cdn VIII OCiACNCO tuO al W NC wv
high was induced to vote the Republi-
can ticket, under the delusion that
that party would reduce and revise
the tariff in response to the popular
demand. They were fooled into yot-
ing the old ticket again, just as many
of them we're kept in line in 1896, when
the Republicans assured the country
that the party favored bimetalism.
The result of Tuesdays election fur
nished its surprises, as off-year elec-
tions usually do, and the two parties
will no doubt make best of them. The
center of the Republican voting
strength has moved westward. while
the Democratic center has moved east
ward nearer to it's ancient strong
holds. Inc Democratic campaign
managers got what they expected in
the east, but they were plainly dis
appointed at the showing which the
party made in such western states as
Ohio. Indiana, Iowa. Minnesota, Kan
sas, Nebraska and the smaller western
states, notably Colorado. California
showed the only bright spot in the
west. but that was too distant to have
sympathetically affected her neigh
