The result Of Tuesdays elections
indicates that there is general dis
satisfaction with republican policies
and promises, and that the leaders
and the rank and file of the demo-
cratic party are getting into line for
possible victory next year. Where
she Bryan banner still waves the re-
publicans have had no trouble in
holding their own, as IN Ohio, but
in Rhode Island, where McKinley's
plurality was 1902, a democratic
governor is elected; the democratic
candidate for governor in Maryland,
which gave Mckinley 1904, has
nearly 1000 majority, and Kentucky
in three years has raised the demo-
cratic majority from 5000 to 10000.
And Greater New York, says the
Evening Post, "may easily go dem
ocratic next year by 100, 900 majority
and carry the state with it."
