Tuesday evening a large crowd was on the streets early eager for election news and it was not long before the desirable kind of information began to roll in. It

Republican from the

very start and by 10 o'clock there was a heavy gloom hanging over the Democratic headquarters. Nearly everyone left and a few of the patriots flopped over to the Republican committee rooms to get on the band wagon. In the Republican rooms there was unbounded enthusiasm and a large crowd hung on until daylight.

Late at night it became apparent that the Republicans had lost a part of the county ticket, and it was at first feared that auditor, sheriff and treasurer had all been lost- Before nine o'clock Wednesday, however, it was conceded by the Democrats that White had been elected. The several election boardB report that the scratching waB unprecedented and both sides Buffered. A study of the tabulated precinct vote published below is interesting.

NOTES

Charley Doyle, the brave boy who climbed the San Juan hill under Spanish lire last July, Tuesday had his vote challenged in precinct 10 by John Jacksou, the Democratic judge, on the ground that he was a United States soldier. Failing to bar out the vote he vainly insisted on pasting a protest on the ballot.

THE VOTE OF MONTQOflERY COUNTY

Following is the Vote on the Various Candidates by Townships in

the Election Held Tuesday.

Joint

Not for a quar

ter of a century has an administration received such an indorsement in tho off year elections as that given Tuesday. The rule has been strongly tho other way, the successful party in presidential years almost invariably meeting with a reverse in the succeeding off year elections. It would, therefore*, have been remarkable if the country had supported the President even feebly. Uut when it sustains him almost as strongly as it did two years ago the result is phenomenal.

The Republicans have carried practically every northern state from ocean to oceau. liast of the Mississippi there is no break in the Republican column. In the west the gains are surprising. Minnesota elects a fusion governor, but the rest of the state ticket is Republican, and it is thought that the legislature is also Republican. Nebraska is doubtful, though there seems to be a good chance that the Democrats have lost the state, ana it is probable that Allen, the Populist senator, will be retired, In Kansas the Republicans are successful by a good majority, and it is thought that Jerry Simpson will be defeated for congress. It is possible that there may be only one Populist in the state's congressional delegation, instead of six, as now. The Republicans have carried Washington, California, North Dakota and South Dakota, and in North Dakota a Republican will succeed the present Democratic senator, Roach. It is probable that Wyoming is also Republican. The election in Oregon was held some time ago, and the result was favorable to the Republicans. So the only states in the north certainly left to the free silver party are Idaho, Colorado, Nevada, Utah and Montana. Tho Republicans have actually carried more states in this section than they did two years ago.

It iB certain that tbe Republicans will have entire control of the senate indeed it looks as though they might have almost a two-third majority over all. This is a great victory. For years the senate has been the special property of the silver men. The silver senators constituted a party fby themselves. They only had one object in politics, and that was to "do something for silver," and

selves Both the great parties allowed themselves to be influenced by that ittle baud of se lflah politicians. Concession after concession was made to them, until finally the Democratic party surrendered to them absolutely and abjectly. Now their power is broken. With fifty-seven sound money senators there will be no need to defer to the friendB of silver in the senate, and no temptation to do so. Their influence will count for little or nothing, and tbe country and the senate

PART FIRST

will be the better for its disappearance. The Democrats have gained a number of congressmen, but the probability is that the Republicans will control the house by a small majority. If this shall turn out to be the fact, the President will have what our Presidents have notoften had in recent years, and that is the support of a congress controlled by men in political sympathy with the administration.

While President Mclvinloy has a"~: right to feel much satisfaction in the vote of confidence he has received, he ought to look upon it as something that imposes on him a weighty responsibility. lie has many and grave problems to deal with, and tho administration will be judged more by the action it is yet to take than by what it has already done. Tho questions growing out of the war muBt be considered solely with reference to the public good, and they must be decided in such away aB to promote the interests of tho people and to reflect honor on tho nation. Tho work of monetary reform to which the administration is pledged must be carried through to a wise conclusion. Mr. McKinley ought not to forgot that his indorsement does not come solely from men of his own party. It comes from men of all parties—men who hold country above party. His obligation to them is quite las sacred as his obligation to the members of his own party. With a sound money house and senate, and backed by an overwhelming majority of the American people, there will be no excuse for Mr. McKinley if he should falter in the work of currency reform.

He is a fortunate man in mauy ways, but in nothing is he more fortunate than that under his administration the free silver movement haB met what is probably its final defeat. It will be largely his fault if there 1B any important revival of the agitation. The time for hesitation and compromise has passed. What the country wants and will expect is firm and decided action in behalf of monetary reform, a reform so complete that it will forever establish the government's financial system on the single gold standard, which is the standard of the civilized world. Free silver is hopelessly beaten. International bimetalism is a phantom of the imagination, an idle dream. The country wants the gold standard—in other words, it wants its verdict embodied in the law of the land. President McKinley has an opportunity that rarely comes to men in our politics. We hope and believe that he will show himself equal to it. The people have given him a free hand. It is for him to act and to act with the utmost promptness and decision.

A Success.

The Poland China hog sale of Walter Clark, of Ladoga, Ind., was a grand success as conducted by H. B. Saylor, of New Market, Ind. The pigs were in good demand and sold at an average of 815.10.
