As regards the vote throughout the
nation the returns published on another
page are evidence that the Democratic
party has met the most crushing defeat
IN its history But while it is defeated, e,
let no Republican lay the hatteriug
unction to his heart that it is dead II
will take sometime to nalyze the yari-
nns rnnses that bronght "hout this de-
feat, and when they ara found it will
then be able to so shape the policy of
the party, il consistent with its funda-
mental principles, TO draw back All who
strayed away during the election just
held.
