Howard, publisher of the Sunday School Times. The session was concluded by con- 1 ference conducted by Mir. Howard A number of matters regarding Sunday School work were discussed, and also the adyisability of conducting regular examinations in the Sunday schools. l The time for the conference was very 1 brief, however, and the different ques- tons were not discussed at any length. During his address Mir. Howard said a great many fine things were only a sentiment, but that they nevertheless stood very often for something that was uhconsciously good within us. l Tn Illustrating he said that in the great Union League club in Philadel-
 phia on election night great crowd of men. comprising the very strongest
 business interests of the city were
 gathered in the cafe of the club watch ing the election returns, and cheering
 wildly as it became evident that the republicans were again sweeping thc
 country.
 I Suddenly a picture of the president
 was flashed on a sheet. and in an in- I stant hundreds were on their feet and i ndescribabie confusion followed: hats
 and canes were thrown into the air and
 the room seemed filled with only mad ly cheering men. Then at the height
 of this enthusiasm the picture of the
 late President Mckinley moved onto the screen, and then slowly the cheer ing died away, and the room became slowly hushed. Men became suddenly
 silent, glasses ceased to rattle. and an
 almost reverent hush pervaded the
 room. In fact every hat was instantly
 raised. This. MT. Howard said, was perhaps only sentiment in fact 1t was 1 only sentiment still it meant and l stood for something.
 1 The session adjourned at about 10
 o'clock all well pleased with the days
 proceedings.

The West Virginia Vote.

In their predictions with regard to
; West Virginia, it would seem that the
Democrats have failed to look over the
election returns from that State for
10 years back. West Virginia only
gave Cleveland 4.174 plurality in 1892.
a year when man, hitherto staunch
Republican States left their mornings
and swung over to the Democracy. At
the Congressional elections Of 1894 the
Republicans carried the State by 49,
$50: in 1896 Mckinley had last and
in 1900 this was increased to 21,O22.
1t may not have occurred to Demo-
cratic prophets that the Republican
majority in 1906 was very nearly 10
| per cent. of the total vote.
Before going into details concern
ing the other States which the Demo-
Gratis claim they will carry this year
it is proper to call attention to anoth-
err fact which SO many seem to forget.
1t is claimed that the Democrats hav-
ing squared themselves on the money
question by first ignoring it and then.
when Judge Parker forced their hand,
declaring that it was no longer an is
sue, the sound money Democrats who
voted for Mckinley in 1896 and 1900
will now go back into the Democratic
ranks and vote for Parker, and that
this will bring certain States back to
Democracy. The great change of pop
ular sentiment in favor Of the Repub-
lican party began three years before
the Democratic party, at Chicago in
1896, declared for free silver and nom
inotoI william 7 pr1rar II Joror No
fore free silver was even recognized
as an actual issue. The first signs of
the popular dissatisfaction were seen
in 1893, and were everywhere mani
fest in the Eastern and Middle States
in 1894. The protective tariff policy.
forced directly to the front by the
Wilson bill, was the issue upon which
voters began to forsake the Democ-
racy in droves. West Virginia's course
has already been told. At hi Con
gressional election William L. Wilson,
who framed the tariff bill. was defeat
ed for reelection and his district has
been Republican, and Republican on
that issue. ever since. Every Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress in the
State was defeated that fall. 1t was

tariff that made West Virginia Repub-
lean. New York, which gave Cleve-
and 45,51S plurality in 1892, went Re
publican in 1894 by 156,10S on the
defeating David B. Hill,
though he had voted against the
bill. Free silver had nothing
to do with that vote. although the in
crease two years later to 26S,4G9 for
Mckinley was doubtless largely due
to the influence of the money ques-
ton in the City OF New York. The
city gave a majority for Mckinley, the
time a Republican Presidential
ever carried it.
Connecticut gave Cleveland 6,3G5
plurality in 1892. but in 1894, before
free silver was an issue, the Republi-
can candidate for governor was elect
ed by 17,6SS. The Republican major
tiles nave never fallen below IA 900
since then, and in 1902 the State was
carried on the governorship by 16,OOS
votes. New Jersey is another State
wherein the revolt against the Democ-
began before 1896 and the free
silver declaration. AT the Congress
elections Of 1894 he Republi
