THE LESSON OF VICTORY.

The very magnitude of the Republican
victory has had a SOLDERING effect upon all the
party leaders, from the president down, says the
Minneapolis Tribune. He has taken it in the
best conceivable temper. He receives the pre-
sdency soberly trust for the party which,
unlike himself must look forward to other
presidential elections.
No sign in all the big result is palmer than
the sign that the strength Of the Republican
party in this election cannot be considered per-
fnanent. Much of the support of Roosevelt
would be lost in another contest with differ
ent Democratic candidate, regardless
of the party's deserving Thousands of Demo
