THB ADMINISTRATION REBUKED.

Juet where our republican friends can get any consolation out of Tuesday’s elections is hard to see, as the reports elsewhere in this paper show that the administration lost out in New York and Cleveland, also Salt Lake City, where Roosevelt’s Mormon friend, Reed Smoot was repudiated. They did elect a governor in Kentucky, to be sure, but the democrats there deserved to be beaten for alligning themselves with the liquor interests and pledging a change in the local option laws. There is a growing sentiment all over the country that the people are better off without the licensed saloon, and Tuesday’s elections were a great victory for the anti-ealoon people everywhere. The old reliable democratic states—even Kentucky—are fast "drying up,” which shows that democrats as individuals at least are not in favor of the salooon, and there is no use of allowing the liquor intereste to dominate the will of the people who do the voting, as was done in the campaign ending with last Tuesday’s election. -
