OMAHA DAILY BEE SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1800--SIXTEEN A REVOLUTION IN POLITICS. It is That Rather Than Republican Defeat or Democratio Vietory. A STUDY OF STATE ELECTION RESULTS. How Republican Strongholds Have Changed Character in the Retarns = The Governor-Elect—-Points in Ris Career, Noelection in the history of Nebraska was over so hotly contested as the one just passed, nor have tho returns of any excited such universal intorest and surprise, It is only after several of alternating hope and spair on the part of all threo paries that definite results are discussed. 1—A STRANGE UPHEAVEL The result of the election in Nebraska is not a republican defeat, nor a democratic vie- tory, Itisa political revolution. Incident- ally the republicans have been defeated and the democrats havo elected some of their ndidates, but these features of the ret are of subordinate inte and importance. The overshadowing fact is that a new politi- 1 party, that one y ago had neithe didates, leaders nor votes, ha odd thousand votes and not quite, the controlling factor in the poli- tics of the state, > When a state that has been democrats foos republican, or a stato that has been publican goes democratic, that is merely the swinging of the pendulum. It isa thing that has happened in y overy state and that is of almost anuual occur rerfee in some state of the unfon. It is the natural operation of popular Institutions. It has happened in republican Maine and in democratic Virginia, for fnstance, within ten years, Itoccurred last r in Towa, and this n Wisconsin. In all such cascs the naturally dominant party has gone tem- ily out of power as a consequence of ed unpopular local issues, and onditions have been resumed when ues have passed away, Butthe sud- den formation of a new party, with new feaders and new purposes, is 'a different 1t is a revolution—a disrupting of ations, a development of new ypolitical forces, and a thing possessing a sig- At not attaching to an ordi- aty reverse in the sentiment of estate. What makes this movement still more interesting is tho fact that it is not pe- culiar to Nebraska., It is even more pro- nounced in Kans id various southern states, is an organized force in New York and New Ingland, and looks to congress as the of its oporations rmers’ movement furnishes a broad fleld for speculation and discussion, and is re- ceiving a full measure of attention in the great reviows and the newspapers. Briefly, it can be said to have arisen from the fuct that lavge bodies of farmers believe they are 1ot enjoying their share of the countrs prosperity, and that they can lighten thieir v y standing together in a social, business and political way. They have ar- wyed themselves in ~ favor radical measures of e ch the most important are o in the volume of currency by means frec silver coinage und other legis- tion; second, public warehouses, where corn, cotton and other *taplos | be de- and money advanced thereon by the nt, 50 as to secure both the benefits : fon on crops and of the sub- alues; third, government 8, telegraphs and telo- fourth, the election of United States senators by the'people directly; fifth, prohi- bition of gambling in stocks, of alien land ownership and of trusts, There aro many others of like character and import, und it is upon this basis thata formidable party has suddenly sprung into being in Nebraska and many other states. IL—THE TRANSPORMED RETURNS, A brief comparison of this year's cloction roturns with those of two years ago furnishes vivid evidenco of the nature and extentof the strange upheaval, Tn 1888 Nebraska gave Harrison a .muornr of 27, Last year it guve Judge Norval, with campiign or effort 1o get out tho votor Profound peaco reigned iu_ the politics of the state and there wus nothing to indicate that unusual forces were at work. A democrat who should then nave predicted that twelve months hence a man of ‘his volitical faith would be governor-elect, or that the republican candidate would bo third ina raco where a new party had entered the Jists, would have been carried off to the home of theincurable insane, But sco how the 1888 figures and those of 1500 look in parallel columns. ‘fhey are the pluralities for re pub- lican candidates for congress in 1888 and against them in 1800 : of sc slation, of First, in- 1888, 1800, First district Becond district, Third district. .. But even this presentation of actual plural- ities adverse to the republicans does not indi- cato the real sizo of the overturn, because the figures of 1888 were very nearly the same as clean majorities over all. To get at the ma- jority 1 each district adverse to the republi- cans wo must add the alliance vote in_the First district to Bryan’s plurality ovor Con- zell, and tho democratic vote in the Third to Kem's plurality over Dorsey, Then we have this striking result: FIRST DISTRICT. u plurality i I88S......... ty agiinst republicans in 150 BECOND DISTRICT, Republican plurality in 1888.......... Mujority against republicans in i 1IRD DISTRICT. Republican plurality in I888....... Majority agalnst republicans in 1800 The important fact is that these sweeping changes, possibly excepting o fow votes in the Flirst district, are utterly disconnected with the great issues that divide the two old parties, ‘Phose issues had no part in the can- vass which culminated in such phenomenal resuits, Thoonly point at which either of he old parties touched the principles of tho independent movement was on the silver question, and there the republicans ap- provched the ground of the alliance and the democrucy stood opposed to it. Itis perfectly clear, therefore, that the potentey of the new movewent 'must be recognized as the dominating factor in this year's results, The election of Boyd is "hailed abroad and celebrated at home us *‘a great democratic y.” It is such in the sensethat a demo- crat has been chosen governor whero none ever beforo came out of an_election alive. But it is nota democratic vietory in any true s The democratic vote of 1580 is less by 8,000 than in 1880, A loss of 10 y reckoned 88 an “un- precedented gain® in J\nlilirul mathemat Afew years more of similar “progress would sce the last democrat vanish from the soil of Nebrasia, The striking feature of the returns, as has been said, is that a_new party has won a sig- nul victory on new issucs, And when it is sceu that Lhis new party is only one division of au army that is camped on’ the national battle-field, aud that a year and a half hence weshall bein the midst of a presidential campaigu, it is perfoctly plain that American politics have developed u new element of in- terest, It is in this light that the results of Tues- day are seen to have an unusual significance, 1L —THE GOVERNO-ELECT. James E. Boyd is a representative wostera business man. Enterprise and success have marked hus career from the first. He was one of the pioneers of Nebraska in her infant territovial “days. He preceded the Union Pacitio railway into the heart of the wilder- mess and, beiug a carpentor by trade, built the first house in Gibbon, Buffalo county, From that time forward he has had a part in amost of the political events, and many of the important business developments, of the state in which be had cast bis lot, “Boyd's ranch,” in Gibbon, was a frontier outpost a quarter of century ago. When ‘the Union fic railway began to way westward across the prairie, Mr, Boyd winmnntrucum: contract and was thus lentiffed with the first railroad iit in Nebraska, Removing to Omaba, he was one of the projectors of the Omaha & Northwestern railway and largely responsi- le for its construction. Then he started the t pucking house in Omaha, and thus in- rated what has now become the largest ©f local industries. Boyd's opera house w Ropu Masje an- another of his numerous enterprises, in all of which he prospered and aided in building up the city and state, Mr. Boyd has been prominent public affairs for many years. the last constitutional convention served as chairman “of the committee on railroads and drafted the stringent pro- visions of the present constitution relat- ing to that subject. During his term as mayor of Omaha many of the most im portant public improvements’ were vndertaken, It may bo interesting to recall, for the benefit of republican office holders, that he did not at that time make a clean ‘sweep of his op- ponents, but left the most worthy of them undisturbed. Mr. Boyd has represented the Nebraska democracy as member of the national committee for several vears. Ho has exhibited symptoms of a luudable ambition for hijch ofil o ceasions when the conditions appeared favorable. His course taking thie nomination this year is good ev- idencn of bis instinct in this respect ‘The governor-elect is a democrat and & business man, His administration will corre- spond with his politics and his teaining. IV.—T1E SUADOW OF TUE GUILLOTINE, The first democratic governor of Nebraska will have a lively time with the office seekers. ve been whetting their ag the state was admitted, 7, are tolerably hungry now. James 15, Boyd is an admiver of the Old Roman of Ohio, who said that true civil ser- vice reform eonsstod in “giving the boys a chance to come in and warm their toes." Governor Boyd will have no postoffices to distribute, but several first class appoint- ments will be within his gift, and the best informed politician in the state tells that directly and inc ly s guillotine will cover full eof them will be ver v ranging from the benefit of the 12 best plums : insune_asylum at incumbent W.

Iach of tho superintendents of stato insti- tutions has quite an of wen under him, and, by a liberal construction of the Jackson. iun creed, they are open for democratic suc. cossors, 13ut the highest offices which the new gov- ernor can bestow will be the appointment of two new justices of the supreme court. Here are honors worthy to be struggled for by the best democratio lwyers in all Nebraska, Doubtless the ‘careful study which hungry democrats will bestow upon t will bring to light sundry snug berths whivh will be open to the unterritied politicians who © sud- denly beeu thrust from outer darkness into the grateful warmth of gubernatorial favors. Governor Jim will be surprised to discover how many warm friends he has iu the next few woeks. It is not to be exvected that the only demo- cratic chief exccutive the state ever saw will refuse to use tho guillotine. 1t wouldn't be human nature. The shadow of the awful instrument alveady falls athwart the heads of the repnblican officeholders. V.—FUTUKE OF STATE POLITICS, And now the question is, What of the fu- ture! In that proolem, as in the work of Tuesday, the new and ' interesting factor is the independent party. It has already wronught a great change in the face of our politics. 1thas wrested the governorship, the coneressional delegation, the legislature and a majority of the county governments from republican control. With such a stock in trade it is doubtless prepared to go into business on its own account. Whatare the further plans of the men who engineered this uprising of the farmers of Nebraska, and of other statest T'his is the new problem of politicians and students of events. It is important to the people of Nebraska in its local aspects, but L believe that it is to be determined not in_tne state, but in the country at larze —not at Lin- coln,'but_at Washington, So far as state legislation can affect it, the movement will partially achieve its ends through the legi tnre-elect, slation cannot. str at the root of the issues involved. It can do something, but it.cannot begin to deal with the great vital questions that underlie this movement. State li rely imaginary. State laws canuot create an isolated prosperity in tho midst of surrounding conditionsthat are fundamentally wrong, and especially in the cnse of an industry that does businéss in the broad markets of the union and the world, If it be true that the American farmer suffers wrougs which the law-makiug power is_able to mitigate or enti et right, then his ap- peal must be to the government at Washing- ton. He has made a formidableshowing: but is far from being dircetly in control at that seat, of power 1 this standpoint that the future must be studied. Now, does it not all depend upon these two things: First, the success of either of the old parties in satisfying the demand, in which case the' new party would have mo use for & political organization; or, second, in case of the fa ure of that unlikely possibility, the capacity of this new class movement to hold its mem- bership intact for a national contest! It seems reasonable to say that these are the two hinges on the door of the future. Viewed alone as an affair of state politics the problem is easicr, and can be summed uf in/a few words, 1f the course of national vents holds the party together 1t will gain un- ‘disputed control of the state at the next ele tion, unless the effect of its radical measures shouldbe to drive conservative democrats and republicans into a combination. On the other hand, if the movement goes to picces the individuals who compose it will largely drift back to their oid political aftiliations, Then the history of the grange movement and the greenback agita- tioh will have been repeated in the history of the alliance, But in the meantime we have a new and in- teresting factor in state and nationul politic It enchains the attention of social observer it makes couservative business men thought: ful, and it keeps the professional politicians painfully on the anxious sea Wi E. Swyrae, —_—— A Gay Young Forger. SAN ANT0N10, Tex,, Nov. 8.--On October 25 Harry Moulton reached San Antonio and put up at the leading hotel. He was about wwenty-five years of age, with clear-cut feat- ures, a graceful mustache, distinguished presence and of very bright mind. He flew high here, presenting himself as the second vice president of the Standard Oil company. Nothing was t00 good for him to eat and drink. Insome three days of residence, by his reckless proclivities, he earned the sobriquet “Champagne Charlie,” which he was apparently proud of. Yesterday he went to H., W. Browden, manager of tho Menger hotel, and induced him to cash two checks amounting to $100. 1 were drawn in favor of himself, were signed by J. K Beretta, a well known lcal deuler in dry goods, and were made payable at Frost's bak, this city. They were forgeries. Moul- ton blew in the money with two mewmbers of the Bluebeard, Jr., troupe.

New York, Nov. 8,—[Special telegram to Tue Be: For the past two years the Archaeological institute of America has been contemplating the purchase of the 850,000 acres of land in Greece upon which the little village of Kastri is buiit. The rains of Del- phi are here, and to make extensive explora- tions among them would be the object of the purchase. The Greek government has given the institute the first opportunity of securing the land. At the llmullr\ meeting of the New York society of the Archaeological institute this afternoon William R. ware, professor of architecture of mines, announced that the Boston chapter had subscribed 34,000, the Chicago chapter £10,000, and the New York chapter $16,000, It is thought the remmnder of the 850,000, the price of the land, will not bo hard to raise. The institute has been given until the eighteenth of this month to close the bargain. The Greek government has received many offers for the land. xteenths of a mile Rod Cap, Lucy P, exator, Miss Leon, .—[Special Cablegram to ]—The British steamer, Ludgate Hill, Captain Brown, from New York Octo- ber 23, arrived at London today.

S, Josern, Mo., Nov. 8,.—This afternoon a man named Tip Dale of Sugar Lake, in the southern portion of Platte county, was ar- rested avhile attending the United States court here on a charge of having been impli- cated in the mysterious murder of a stranger which took pidcé four years ago. The warrant for Dale's arrest was sworn out by Thomas ;Moore, & store-keeper at Sugar Lake, who claimed that Dale had made a confession which pointed to John Estes as the murderer of the unknown man, Estes is aboarding house keeper at Sugar Lake, and Dale was formerly the operator at that station. It is claimed that the stranger had §2,500 in money on his person when killed and that his body was thrown into thelake. Dale denies that he ey made a confession and states that a few days ago, while he was drunk on electlon vhisky, a man named Squire Smith of Sugar Lake otfered him a farm if he would make o confession implicating Estes in the murder of the unknown man, and also the murder of John Iden,whi urred there a year agoun- der mysterious circumstances, The prosecut- ing attorney here would not issue a warrant on Moore's statement and the instrument was ootained in Platte county. The at- torney placed no credence in Moore's story, because Moore is now on trial in the United States court for violating the revenue laws, and both Dale and Estes are important wit- nesses against him. However, as the arrests have been made, it is quite likely that some light will be thrown onseveral mysterious oceurrences in the Sugar lake neighborhood, for it is likels thatif the case against, Estes and Dale e to trial there will be tes! mony which may not be relished by several people in _wat section, Estes w this morning and taken to Platte City, MAY MAKE MW KIN Senator Sherman on the Ohio Man's Defeat and the General Result.

Mr. Sherman suid that Major McKinley told him before the election that he did not expect to succeed with such odds against him. The senator added: *But I shall not be surprised if it makes him governor of Ohio next year.” As to the general result of the congres- sional election Sherman said: *I have seen such convulsions a dozen times or more, but they have had no permanent effect. I do not regard the present situation with apprehen- sion. The country will be wiser by next year and better able to pass upon the issues, Regarding the causes which brought about republican defeat in the construction of the house, Mr. Sherman said that it was hard to say exactly what they were. “In Ohio," he said, the McKimley bill was growing strongor as the campaign adyanced. it is a measure that is greatly mistmerstood.
