THE RESULT.

1T Is rather trying task 80 be politically
cheerful under the pressure of Tuesday IS
defeat. The Democracy never waged q
more hopeful battle. the rank and file was
never more energetic and determined; the
party was apparently united and was led
by deliberately chosen leaders.
The Republicans seemingly burdened by
a candidate forced upon it, was handi-
capped by business depression general the
country over. and dissatisfaction with con-
ditions was country wide.
For years she rank and file Of the Repub-
lican party Of the district has chafed under
the domination Of Congressman Louden-
slayer, the charge being shat he had will
fully misrepresented the district in many
ways.
In the county the Republican party was
rent by factions, and dissatisfaction was
widespread.
Against these the Democracy presented
candidates of unquestioned ability aud
highest business probity and integrity. The
party knew it deserved victory, and made
the effort of its life TO win success, and
expected it.
VIM. Jennings Bryan received substan-
tial maiorities in bis home city, county and
State all Of which are Republican strong
holds; our county candidates all made ire
mendous gains in their home districts, those
Of Edward E. Grosscup, Jos. r. Newton
and VIM. G. Allen being especially so.
This is our only cause for rejoicing those
VINO knew them best were anxious to erust
them with the responsibilities of Office.
That the country did not take Wm.J Bryan
at the estimate placed on bin by Republi-
can Nebraska, and that our county saw not
IN Messrs Grosscup, Newton, Allen, STRAIT
ton and Usinger its most useful servants,
is Democraoy's present regret
As the healthy mind refuses to be per-
manently depressed by great disappoint-
ment or sorrow, SO the Democracy will rise
from even this crushing defeat and do
battle for principle as she years recuf

Neither Side Comedies.

pendulum has swung once more, and

Neither side is content with these

not so satisfactory as they might be.

from few of the precincts of Dor
chester and Worcester counties have
been sent in by correspondents Taft's
vote in state and city combined is

cal complexion, it is changed in per-
