The Elections.
Indianapolis News.

4AldidIdpOl1S News.
We think that the result of the re-
cent elections, which is remarkable not
because the Republicans won, but be-
cause they won so overwhelmingly, is
due to two cause.-the prosperity of the
country and the continuing distrust of
the Democratic party. It can not be
doubted that many men who would
have been glad to vote with the Demo-
Gratis, nevertheless. did not do so be-
cause they did not feel that the Demo-
cratic party had recovered from its
Populistic debauch. The principles of
the party seemed to change with state
lines. In Ohio the people saw Tom john
son and Organism in control of the or
ganization. while in New York Bryan
ism had been wholly abiured. In the
far west the free silver issue was still
at the front and Bryan himself was a
conspicuous figure in the campaign. In
the east Bryan was not heard, and the
party took the anti-Bryan attitude.
There was a good deal of cowardice in
dealing with the tariff question, and
tariff refOrmers were not greatly inSpir-
ed by the PROPOSITION, not to enact a
tariff for revenue only. but simply to re-
peal or lower certain duties on trust
products.
But more important than this was the
feeling that we were st.ll too close to
1895 and 1900 to make it safe to trust
the Democratic party. There was no is
sue on imperialism, for the Democrats
were pitifully weak in dealing with that
great subject. Practically all that there
was was the trusts. and President
Roosevelt and other Republican leaders
succeeded in making the people believe,
whether mistakenly or not is not now in
point. that they could be trusted to deal
with the trust problem. The other OBJ
stacle was prosperity, concerning which
nothing need be said except that it
greatly weakened the Democratic party
On the whole, therefore, we think that
the Republicans won. not so much be-
cause of their own strength, as because
of the weakness of their adversaries.
