ALEXANDRIA,, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOV.

THEoDoRE ROOSEVELT has appeared
before the American people once too
often. He and his candidate, ii. l..
Stimson, are now nursing wounds as
the result Of Yesterdays election. The
defeat Of Stimson is the virtual repudIa-
ton of Roosevelt, and his new nation
aIism," the rag baby he has been
dangling, is now lying in state. A
large majority OF the suffragans OF
New York have shown their preference
for J. A. Dix, the democratic candl-
date for governor. The former presi-
dent of the United States has for some
time INDUCED the dream that he carried
the majority OF the votes of the United
States in his pocket. The country has
simply grown tired Of his assumptions
and has, very properly, turned him and
his candidate down From present
indications. Mr.. Roosevelt has seen
day and he will be compelled TO step
aside and take his place among the
"has beens." During his career he
seems TO have bad Admirable Crichton
as his ideal, and, while minus the genius
OF that worthy, started out to excel
his fellowmen in everything. His career
has been phenomenal, but the
recession in the tide OF luck has set IN,
and he will soon be soliloquising over
the words of the late Horace Greeley
flame is a vapor, reputation an accl-
dent" Caesarism was in evidence II
1876, when Ulysses S. Grant was the
receptive candidate for the nomination
for a third term as president OF the
United States. Roscoe Conkling at
tempting to foist Grant upon the coun'
try for the third time, but the bulk OF
the delegates in the convention ilinched
at such a proposition, and Conkling,
with all the influence he welded at
that time, saw his candidate showed
under. The country was not ready Tor
such a coup d. etat at that time, and
it seems they have not revised their
opinions. The republican party has
l.
for years suffered the ex-presldent to
dominate them to such an extent as TO
make them no more nor less than silly
sheep following a bell wether. They
have allowed this aggressive individual
to capture thei5 conventions and select
candidates after his own liking, and
this, too, in the face Of earnest cries for
deliyerance from the cruel oppression
of a party from which honest men are
deserving daily. The result OF the cleo
ton is naturally hailed with great salts
faction in all parts of the country.

Mr.. Bryan.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov 9.-WiIliam J.
Bryan, whose bolt from Dahlman, the
democratic gubcruaiorial nominee on
the liquor issue, unquesiionably elected
Aldrich, today issued the following
statement: The results indicate that
the democrats have Congress by safe
majority and have made number OF
gains in the Senate. This may
be considered an emphatic pro-
test against the policies of the
republican party, the tariff question be-
ing the immediate cause OF the revolt
and the largest factor in the election.
Now. with a good congressional record
as basis. the democrats will enter the
next presidential campaign with con-
fidepce. There is every reason Why the
democrats OF the country should feel
encouraged.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1910-11-09

The democrats are indebted to Mr..
Roosevelt as much as to any one else
in the country, for their rouslng ma
jority in yesterdays election. Had
that worthy, after his return from for
eign parts, competed himself in mod
est and dignifed manner betting the
position he held as the most dlstln-
guished private citizen in the land he
would have retained the high esteem IN
which he was held by so many OF has
fellow citizens; but instead he descend
ed from his pinnacle, put himself upon
the low level OF a demagogical cross
roads politician and stump speaker,
abused and vilifed those who honestly
differed with him on any or all public
questions and literally disguised men OF
good sense and good breeding He
has made his bed and must lie in il
andlhe may rest assured that the Amen-
can people are tired and worn out with
Roosevelt and Rooseyeltism.

Roosey.lt Coe. into Retirement.

Oyster Bay, n. y, Nov, e.-Theo'

tirement today When the United
Press CORRESPONDENT assembled Sycamore
Hill to talk it over" with him in ac'
cordance with an engagement made
yesterday, he discerned the stocky iorr,
OF the lion hunter; seated IN an easy
chair In his library window. lie was
surrounded by the newspapers which
he was carefully perusing with \ frown
on his countensDce.
When Roosevelt, looking up, no

steps, be disappeared into the room
When the bell was rung, the Negro
butler opened the door, Before a CUES
ton could be framed, be said
mfr. Roosevelt desires me 10 say
that he will see no one here for an IN
definite period Il will be no use tc
STAY here, as his decision Is final. H5
he's nothing to say"
For the Grst time since ne ha3 been
home, Roosevelt failed today to take
his usual morning gallop, and he made
it plain TO friends who tried to reach
him by telephone that he wanted to DC
