The National Election.

The crushing defeat suffered by the democratic party in the election of Tuesday has had but one parallel in national politics since the birth of the republican party-that was the defeat of the party under the leadership of Greeley in 1872. And now, as in 1872, nasty generalization will lead to wrong conclusions. For the next few weeks we shall hear numerous assertions that the defeat of this year portends the dissolution of the democratic party.
 For awhile after Grants victory of 1872 it was believed that the end of the democratic party had. come Yet, two years thereafter, the democrats carried the country by an overwhelm- ing majority in the state and congress sional elections, and gained control of the lower house of congress. And two years after that, in the presidential election of 1876. the democrats had a majority of several hundred thousand

in the popular vote, and the vote on presidential electors was so close that it has never been satisfactorily estab- Hshed whether Hayes or Tlden really won.
 Today there is no visible democratic party in the United States except in the solid southland in Arizona-but it would be just as foolish to assume now. aa it was foolish to assume in 1872 that a death blow has been ad ministered to the defeated party. To- day the republican party and a repub- lican president justly hold, because they have justly won, the confidence of the country. There is no confidence in the democratic party. But let the republican party betray the trust now reposed in that party-let the country become convinced that better and safer government can be had at the hands of another organization and we shall see how quickly the tide of ballots can shift to the democratic party.
 The elections of recent years have demonstrated, simply. that with the disappearance of great issues there has been such a weakening of party ties that the fate of parties is decided by several million citizens of Independent thought. With the growth of the pres idential power the personality of the presidential candidates is becoming a greater and greater factor in deciding elections. Platforms are not so impor- tant as the man. The vote of Tues day was not only a vote of confidence in the republican party because of the fact that the republican party has made good'' in the matter of its prom ises, but 1t was. above everything else. vote of confidence in Theodore Roose- welt. MT. Roosevelt's personality was one of the greatest elements in the victory of Tuesday MT. Roosevelt ap- peals to the popular imagination as has no other president of our time.
 Upon analysis it must be apparent to all democrats, now, that they made a fatal tactical error in giving the leader ship of the party into the hands of the "reorganizers" last summer No votes were gained in the east, and the western states, hitherto loyal to the Bryan wing, were converted into strongholds for Roosevelt Bryan would have made a better race than Parker, but not even Bryan could have made any appreciable headway against tha RoOSavalt tidal xroxya
 But it must be confessed that the outlook for the democratic party for l some years to come is dark. indeed. The defeat of Parker by such an ava lanche of votes restores the leadership of the party to Bryan, but the coun- try has twice expressed its distrust of Bryanism. And until the republican party makes inexcusab ble blunders and until MT. Bryan grows more conserva- tive, the republican party will continue | in power. Nevertheless, the democrat ic party will live, because it is need ed. Every American will admit that the welfare of the republic requires that there shall be two great parties, and under ideal conditions the two parties would be as nearly equal in | strength as could be possible.
 Meanwhile, the prompt acquiescence of all citizens in the result of Tuesday the good humored acceptance of de- feat and the absence of gloating-is l evidence of the American poise and the sturdy American faith in our in- | stitutions.
