q Democrat. may have read into the
sign that this is the day of the Demo-
Gratis. More rightly can it be taken as
the protest of the people against un-
worthy candidates who are thrust upon

The Washington Herald Qndependent)
says:
Dissatisfaction with the new tariff
law in itself was doubtless sufficient
to losethe election; the championship
of it by such a candidate made defeat
inevitable.
"There will be no telling the magni-
tude of the impending upheaval in
November. II the Republicans be as
short-sighted the country over as they
have been in the Fourteenth Massa-

The sudden fall in the prices OF

or three weeks fresh eggs have been
selling for 20 cents a dozen retail; the
wholesale price being % cents. There
are, of course no storage eggs on the
local market Butter is firm at from
25 to AZ cents a pound. a drop in the

warned that the defeat Of Aldridge would
mean that the country wide demand for
the reopening Of the tariff question would
be emphasized instead Of checked, and
possible tafkf tinkering with renewed agi-
tation in business must be expected. There
was nothing left undone to force these
points home to the voters and local Re-
publican leaders to-day insist the verdict
OF the voters must be accepted as a repu-
diation OF the tariff law.
Acceptance Of check for $1,000 by AID
ridge for his influence in passing an in
surgent law may have had some effect on
the result.
The Democratic leaders also assert that
the endorsement OF Havens by the Of
ncials Of the American Federation Of La
bor through letter signed by Gompers
ana Morrison, had but little effect on the
vote. They insist, and for the most part
their pretensions are concurred in by the
local Republican leaders that the wave OF
insurgency that is sweeping the country
Is fully as strong in New York as 1t is IT
Kansas or Iowa.
As an instance Of the manner I'm whicl
called to-day that Havens, although ;
Democrat supported Governor Hughes
Commenting on his victory he refers tC
that fact by saying:
while this may be justly herade as q
great Democratic victory. IL was no less
victory such as tho progressive Republi.
cans have been winning both in the eas
and in the west. 1t is a victory over the
things for which Cannon has stood and
for the ideal which Governor Hughes typi
hes."

for the Democratic gubernatorial nomina

aressonal seat better than the governor

September.
From every section Of the state to-da,

CAPITAL VIEW
OF THE ELECTION

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
WASHINGTON, April 20.-The political
earthquake I'm Rochester yesterday had
an after effect in great commotion to-day
in the House OF Representatives. The
iubliaton among the Democrats was un-
bounded. they declared their confidence
IN controlling the House through the fall
elections. IL was the third special cleo
ton held to hll vacancies in the House
and Il was the third and most violent
shock sustained by the Republicans. Lead
ers among them sought from all angles
to explain the defeat but they showed
plainly that they we're annoyed by this
'harbinger of the fall elections as one
Democrat called 1t.
The victory OF Havens. fo..owing the
two other in widely separated districts,
was not good news to the dozens Of Re-
publican members who have had to fight
hard to carry their districts.
The Rochester defeat is charged Sy Re-
pubncans largely TO Aldridges connec-
ton with the scandals in the New York
Legislature The Democrats declare that
dissatisfaction with the tariff bill was
the great factor in the result in all three
districts The problem that now confronts
the Republican leaders members say,
concerns the removal OF the causes OF
detection before the general elections in
November. Conferences have already been
arranged to investigate the causes OF the
slump and to devise means TO counteract
It. For one thing there will be a great
circulation of literature favorable TO the
tariff. and especially OF documents, setting
forth that the tariff is I'm no degree re-
sponsible for high prices for food.
Representative Lloyd. chairman OF the
Democratic Congressional committee said
to-day:
'The Rochester election is s~lendid
! Democratic victory. IL indicates the tri-
umph of the people over the bossism all
over the country
! Representative Mckinley, Of Illinois,
chairman Of the Republican Congressional
Committee declared that neither the
tariff nor any other national issue had
anything to do with the defeat Of Aid
ridge.
"Our committee took no part in the
campaign" he said. "rhe fight was
waged solely on local issues"
