OBSERVATIONS ON THE ELECTION.

Tom Taggart's smile has oome off. It was everybody’s victory and Roosevelt will be everybody'* President. Did someone move to make it unanimous? Over in White county, oeupllj Demonratio, the Demoorata elected only one oonnty officer. The eleotion of Lafollttte for for governor in Wisconsin by 25,000 or so ’plurality, is a great triomph for fair and progressive and anti-machine and anti*bood!e politioe. The rook-ribbed Democratic oounfy of LaPorfe also elected about every Repnblioan Candida' e this time. The Tenth district sends a solid Republican delegation to the state legislature. The one man of all otheia whose speeohes made votes for Roosevelt was one Alton B. Parker, of some plaoe in New York. Wonder if Teddy will give him a plaoe in tbe oabinet? A new Department of Poblio Misinformation might be oreated for hie eepeoial benefit. Bryan made very few votes for Parker, bnt bepntin some mighty gocd licks for Bryan, all right, al right. One thing waa irrevocably settled by the eleotion of Tnesday, besides the gold standard for fonr yeais, and that waa that it does not a candidate for the presidency to otraVgenEm opponent "ithj&e, crip* direct or by , kuHmgption.., Bnt especially -when they* is not a Bhedovr-■■wfr" pt*ot J *m*bteok the eharges. Penney 1 vanin only state in the onion, exeepHAftrraont and Maine, that Chairman Taggait waa wiliing to oonoede to the Republicans unequivocally, and at one time be even bad bopea of Pennsylvania.
