guarantees all proper protection

This railway or spur connection

AS an encouragement to the

everything in our power to SO as

In a national sense, the election
last Tuesday was the most COM
plete rout the Democracy has sus-
tanned in many years. Parker and
Davis carried the solid South and
nota State beyond that, Even old
Missouri, which four years ago
had gone Democratic by what was
considered safe majority, fell in
the Republican column this time
by Q good-sized majority. The
most remarkable majority, how
ever, still comes from the Quaker
State which rolled up a majority OF
over 400, 900 for Rooseveltism.
The defeat of the Democratic
Observation-Disclosures is signal and
complete. Not alone that, but the
party has made no gains what
ever in any congressional district,
and it seems plain now that the
Republicans will largely control
the lower branch of the next Con-
gress. Sc complete has been the
defeat Of the party that no sooner
hadth result become known than
Bryan, Watson and Hearst held
conference declaring that as
national party the Democracy no
longer existed, and steps were
laid by them for the formation of
another party to combat the Re-
puolicans. The principles of the
Democratic party are undying,
and the conclusions of that trium-
viTate Of political outoasts do not
necessarily imply that the party
will cease to exist by any means.
In view of the overwhelming and
almost crushing defeat the party
mas sustained, it might be re-
marked, however, that neither Mr..
Cleveland's assistance nor the gold
standard edict seem to have help
ed the party to any extent-noc
even as well as when Mr.. Bryan
led it twice to ignominious defeat.
