DEMOCRATS ELATED.

As a sequence to the result of the
election held few days since in the
Rochester district of New York the
Democrats are elated; indeed they are
iubilant and are already figuring on tri-
jumps at he November elections for con-
gressmen.
The unexpected gain of the Democrats
in the Sixth Missouri District and the
Fourteenth Massachusetts, District in
which the Republican majorities were
reversed, is encouraging, as is the cleo
ton of Haven, who overwhelmed in de-
feat the strongest Republican in the
Rochester district. But there is much
to do and to be done if the Democrats
would be successful, at least in secur-
ing the election of Democrats in Novem-
Der sufficient to give them the majority
in the House of Representatives
a Democratic success in November, If
sufficiently sweeping, would lead to
changes in the Senate of the United
States, and it is therefore. imperative
that the Democrats shall not only cease
all pickering but shall become united as
one man in coftesting for supremacy
against the Republicans.
The opportunity of today for Demo-
cratic triumph is manifest in the dis
pleasure and the dissatisfaction of the
people who have been deceived by the
pretenses of the Republicans The
masses are apparently ready for revolt
and will not hesitate to strike the fatal
blow unless they should be discouraged
into inactivity by some blunder of the
Democrats. If the Democrats are wise
they will profit from the failure of the
Republicans TO keep faith with the peo-
pie and they should and must do as the
Republicans, who lay aside all person
atty and all differences of views and of
policies and rally as one man in opposi-
ton to their political enemy; the Dem
ocrats. Democrats, if they would tri-
umph must do as he Repub1icans-fo1-
low the leaders. Their personal differ
ences should never be permitted to ope-
rate as antagonism against the party's
success.

Mrs. Decker's appearance in the ma

sure whether the supreme law of the
nation forbids a woman to act as a

the word he In the clause relating
to the election of congressman. but it
is thought that a woman could get
around that by pleading that in the
constitutional provision the word ''he"

is any man going to be ungallant

HALE. ALDRICH AND OTHERS.

4
1t has been proclaimed that Senator
Hale of Maine and Senator Aldricf OF
Rhode Island and other luminaries OF
the Republican party in the United
States Senate have resolved to retire
from the activities of politics
Aldrich is to seek the shades and
pleasant hooks of private life owing to
i'll health, and Hale of Maine desires to
enjoy the repose of ease and comfort,
and probably the others are actuated by
the same feelings.
However, it is imnaterial what may
be the reason, the retirement of these
men should be hailed with satisfaction
by all classes of the people, excepting
perhaps the Republicans of their respec-
tive States.
For years, indeed since the founda-
ton of the government, except when
confronted and overwhelmed by a unit
ed Democracy, the influence of the New
England States has dominated the poll
cies of the Nation, particularly in its
application to the tariff and the protec-
ton of special industries of which the
Aldriches have been the beneflciaries.
1t may be true that Republicans will
be returned to fill the seats of these
stalwarts, but there would be some sat-
isfaction in the realization that the men
who are responsible for the iniquities
of the tariff and of the measures which
have been oppressive of the people have
been eclipsed and laid aside from the
political activities in the Senate of the
United States.
