before the public through his newspaper,
his lectures and his campaign speeches.
This year it looked as though he had
united party behind him, which he GER
tainly did not have in the preceding cleo
lions. 1t is admitted by every one that
he is an. able and eloquent speaker and
possessed of the gift of personal magne-
tism. He is clean man. He has never
been convicted on criminal charge, and
bears the reputation of good citizen and
a good neighbor. He has not sought in
his own home to promote ill-feeling, to
incite animosities or to carry his personal
politics to such length as to impair the
usefulness of societies and associations
working for the public welfare. Nor
have we ever heard his veracity ques-
toned. Why then has he failed to attain
the high office he has sought so persist
emily? 1t is because he has no settled
policv or convictions. He is so consti-
tuted that he can make radical speeches
in the west and conservative speeches IN
the east. He has been everything by
turns and nothing long. His free silver
fallacy, his advocacy of government own
ership of railroads, his bank guarantee
scheme-all of them obnoxious to the
business and financial interests of the
country dropped when he found
they were unpopular. Then he laid claim
to the Roosevelt policy as his very own;
but finally reduced his platform to four
words: 1.-THE people must rule. " The
people do rule, and they recorded their
verdict Nov 3d.

Yes, that is true of the Democratic

votes for Taft and the latest figures are
32l. Come to think of it the Sentinel
assumed the role of prophet before our

Boston Transcript: The Democratic
party stands today like great, unten-
anted edifice, almost falling to pieces
from the force of the elements and
neglect, but of such potentialities of
strength as to invite new occupant. No
Democrat energies from this election
with any prestige which would qualify
him for that privilege. 1t is easy to see
in the extraordinary victory which Gov
ernor Hughes has won over his enemies
who would be the coming leader of Re-
publicanism, if it We're not for Taft, but
no equally rising Democrat appears above
the horizon. The candidate and the issue
of the next Democratic attempt to dis
lodge Republicanism from national SUI
premacy are yet to be discovered. But
1t will not be Bryan. With him it is
three times and out -
Some inroad has been made on the
Solid South and the indications are that
at no distant day it will cease to be a re-
liable asset of the Democratic party
The South was never more prosperous
than it is today and it is largely indebted
for that prosperity to northern capital
and the Republican policy of protection.
The South long since discarded its free
trade ideas and is making rapid progress
in manufactures. Atlanta, which WAS a
comparatively insignificant town before
the War, and which was burned during
Sherman's march to the sea, is now a
busy, bustling city and great railroad
center. Northern brains and northern
money have wrought this transformation.
In other sections and cities of the South
it is the same Northern capital has
built the railroads, the big business
blocks, the grand hotels, and established
the coastwise steamship lines essential
to business development. 1t is the negro
question mainly that keeps the South
from voting with the party OF progress
and prosperity If new party, under
new name, could start with the record OF
the Republican party for the past ~ years
behind it, we believe that party would
have the support of the Solid South.
