A WESTEPN MAN OR BUST. Out of yesterday’s election the democracy brought the assurauce that any other party ever organized would have been hammered into a memory by the multipled difficulties which had been falling in a rapid successiou of blows since the 4th of March, 1893. In the largest democratic state there was an outbreak of the implacable quarrel between the President of the tlnited States and the local leaders. As if that were not euough, the disclqsures of astounding corruption in municipal government had aroused the decency of New York City as. it never was aroused before, even in Tweed’s day, and the indignation was vented upon Tammany, the controlling force in local affairs. The states which are adjaceut to Manhattau Island are powerfully aflected by currents of opiniou in the metroplis. New Jersey and Connecticut are provinces of which New York City is the capitol. In the general canvass all the adventitious elements in politics were with the opposition. The tickle and thoughtless were affected by the cry5 pf demagogues that the party in power was responsible for business troubles. Weak-hearted democrats Stayed at home. Protectionist barons were eucouraged to pour out their boodle into the bauds of their political agents. Selfish office-seekers who had been disappointed wreaked their petty malice on party candidates. There were diversions on the details of a currency policy. Enthusiasts were not satisfied with the moderate reforms of the new tariff. The rich classes objected to paying a share of

Federal expends by means of au income tax. Workingmen were pressed with appeals on the tariff issue from one side and on the use of law to repress the violence of strikes from another side. Farmers were discouraged by the low prices of wheat and horses. j Elections in the off year always bring trouble to the party which has won iu the presidential year. Internal discords over the distribution of Offices have not had time to heal. Dissatisfaction always reigns in that section of opinion which has not learned better than to expect miracles of prosperity from the operations of government. This is au ofl year when such consequences are extended and intensified. It would not have proved a lowered democratic vitality if the losses had been much greater. Against such odds in the temporary conditions the resistance made to the onslaught of protection, paternalism and pelf is ample proof of the marvelous vigor of that party which has guarded the traditions of freedom for a century through victory aud defeat. The lesson is that democrats must unite, subordinate minor differences, repress individual jealousies, agree upon a policy and stand a compact and organized force against the enemies of free Institutions. Democracy is strong enough at any time to assert victoriously its inherited right to control the Government it founded. Yesterday it was at its lowest ebb. It cannot again be as near weakuess and exhaustion. Yet it loses nothing that it cannot easily regain and tha,t it will not regaiu with its revived powers in 1896. So much is retained, such up impressive demonstration of* indestructible

strength has been made, that the future is more our own thau it was in 1892. For 1896 we must understand that New York will settle Its owu quarrels and wash its own linen. It is the West that naturally belongs to us and that we must have. The motto for the next great campaign is: A Western man or bust.—St Louis Republic. J. E. Pipes has so lar recovered from his attack of rheumatism as to be able to resume his duties at Cincinnati where he is employed in a stock commission house. Miss Alice Pierson left Tuesday for St. Augustine, Florida; where she will spend the winter iu company with Mrs. W. J. Bain and family.
