DEMOCRATIC GAINS.


The election news, since the foil re-
turns have been reported, shows great
Democratic gains. The election Of all
the State officers In New York. other
than Governor. by small Democratic
maiorities in spite OF all the weight
and influence OF the Administration
indicates that the great heart OF the
Empire State still beats in unison
with Democracy and with popular can
didstes 10 1908 the electoral vote OF
the State is likely to be in the Demo
cratic column.
Bot the most wonderful change
from abject surrender TO the trust and
corporation TO the reviving influences
OF good government is in New Jersey.
A tabulation of the votes by counties
shows a Democratic majority of IL ,2S0
ia the State. The Republican plural
ity for the Assembly tickets last year
was 81 ,978 aud Roosevelt was elected
by $4,000, and there was 81 900 major
ity for The Republican Governor. This
is the first Democratic rusiority in the
State since 1893 and indicates that
"Jerey justice" will cleanse the State
Ot the ring OF cOrruptionists and
grafters that have infested her and,
like New York, will be again a doubt
fnl State with the chances favoring
the Democracy.
The other Democratic gains are iu
Rhode Island, Minnesota, North Da-
kots, Missouri and Oklahoma, which
States sll gave large Democratic ma
jorities. The Democratic candidate
for GoveTnor-Of Kansas was only de-
feated by 1000 votes, a gain OF 5000
over the vote Of 1904 The Democratic
gain Of over fifty members Of Con-
gress shows the general trend of the
cou ntry to swing towards Democratic
policies and when the standpat doe

All that Democrats have 10 do TO en-
sure success is TO get together on eS-

ences on minor matters to be settled
by Congress aud Legislatures as they
arise and perfect their organization In
the several States that will see that
