MCKEIGHAN'S own town repudi- ates tho congressman's speeches. It gives Post a majority over Edgerton of 110. THE chief unhappiness to result from the eastern elections is found in the fact that they hoist soveral new well insu- Jated presidential lightning rods. SoME of the eminent democrats who tumbled into the Edgerton trap on the eve of clection have themselves to blame for want of ordinary horse sense. NEBRASKA'S advertising train after a meteoric flight through the east, at- tracting as much attention and coment as a comet with a fiery tail, will return to Omaha Suturday. THE thinking people of Nebraska are not yet ready to convert the supreme court 1nto a court of equivalent ability with the ordinary tribuval vresided over by a justice of the poace. POST goes out of Columbus, his home, with a splendid majority. Bdgerton failed to carry a singlo precinct in South Omaha where ho resides when he is not stumping the state for an office.

We shall huve two in our Board of Educa- tion next year. THE old time dispateh comes up from Virginia, “All quiet along the Poto- mae.” The democrats had their own way in that state. They claim every- thing and there are not enough repub- licans there to dispute aboutit. Four al- liance men shipped into the legislature by accident. PROF. C. A. BRIGGS of Union semin- ary comes out victorious in his trial for heresy. The New York presbytery has dismissed the charges and peace reigns again among tho elect. Theolo- gical sominary has been well advortised by the discussion, but the heresy huntors are discomfited. Union reminds the Deadwood Pioncer of tho late Samuel Randall. So far as personal appear- ance is concerned there may be some resomblance but the great Pennsyl- vanian nover was carried away either by free trado fantasies ov fiat foolishness. But he wasa great deal older and there- fore wiser than the statesman from Nebraska. CoN BRYAN SSM A “TaE democrats have overything by Increased majoritios,” is the report from Mississippl. Then the guileloss Mississippian who sent tho press report of tho election adds significantly “‘the aew election system had its fiest trial and gave universal satisfuction.'

A SWEEPING VICTORY. The citizens of Omaha r rdless of eligious or political creed are to be cor grautlated upon the outcome of the con- test on behalf of municipal reform and good governmont. The eyclone that has swept over this city was a popular up- rising against boodlerism, tax eating and incompetency, The - people of Omaha had been aroused to the neces- sity of making common cause against the combines of contractors and corpors tions that have for years dietated candi- dates and controlled our elections. It was the most emphatic protest that has been entered in this city through the ballot box since the ignominious overthrow of the Holly waterworks g The sweeping victory over the cohorts of jobbery was made more easy through the ballot reform law which dethroned the bosses and emancipated tho rank and file of wage workers from political serfdom to their employers, The lesson taught by lar verdict cannot fail press itself upon vy man who holds a position of honor or trust in our city hall or county court heuse. They must reali that a vigilant eye <opt on each of them from now on, and the man who does not walk the straight and narrow path is doomed to speedy political execution, It is impossible to overestimate the benefit that our citizens will derive from the crushing defeat that has over- taken the cohorts of the contractors. It doss not simply mean the clearing of political atmosphere, but it means ro- stored confidence in Omaha, and her ability to protect taxpayers and foreign nvestors from public plunderers, and her aetermination that every doliar col- leeted from taxpayers shall be honestly expended. the to popu- im- ovy MCKINLEY'S Onio has ‘recorded no uucertain ver- aict in favor of protection and against the free and unlimited coinage of silver These wore the issues upon which the campaign in that state was fought. The republican leader, Mujor MeKinley, stood for his party not only in Ohio, but in the nation, as the representative cham- pion of the policy of protection while the democratic party made tho silver ques- tion an issue by declaring in its plat- VICTORT. form for free coinage. State affalrs ved little attention and were entirely subordinated to the consideration of the national questions which divide the two reat parties of the country. More dis- tinctly, therefore, than in any other state the result of Ohio’s election is an oxpression of tho position of the republi- an party on the tariff and the free coin- age of silver. It will bo accepted by republicans generally indi- ating the predominant sentiment in the party on these issues, and as fo owling the stand the party will the national contestof next yoar, Major MeKinley's victory is quently of far more than ordinary inter- ost and importanco.

It was perhaps unfortu- nate, also, that Mr. Fassett was out of a federal office to be made a candi- date for governor. Thecase of Mr. Fol- somewhat similar in 1882, the unprecodented majority for Mr. Cleveland attesting found resentment of the people at what appeared to Le interforence by the na- tional administration in state politi Undoubtedly, however, the popular dis- trust of Platt had more to do with the defeat of the republican candidate than any other one thing, or perhaps than all other things combined. As littlo than questions of state policy were in- volved in the contest, the sult cannot be regavrded as having direct bearing upon the battlo of next year. It continues New York among the doubtful states, with the advantage on the side of the democrats, but the’ country has scen the Empire State elect w democratic governor at the same time that it chose republican presidential electors. Massachusetts has brokon away from the precedents of thirty years in re- clecting a democratic governor, and such a departure seems to show that a very decided change has taken place in the political senti- ment of the people of that state which threatens to put Massachusetts among the doubtful states. The defeat of the republican candidate for governor, Allen, will doubtless be found to be chiefly due to dissatisfaction with his nomination among the fricnds of M. Crapo, who was the preference of the better element the party and was deprived of nomination by methods not altogother commen. Governor Russell, who is re-elected, has made a capable and popular executive, and as questions of state policy most gely in- volved in the campaign the result is merely an endorsement of the state ad- ministration, havin therefore, no di- rect bearing upon the political possi bil- ities of next year. While, however, Massachusetts is still to be regarded as a republican state, the result of the election suggests that it will be ground for activo republican effort next year. In the re-clection of Governor Boles the people of Towa have again rendercd a verdict against prohi- bition. It will not be questioned that this was the real d vital issue of the campaign, and the popular judgment gain so plainly and unmistakably de- clared ought to convinee the republican party of tho folly, atmost eriminal from a politieal point of view, of its position on this question. Republicanadherence to prohibition will inevitably make lowa wtic state, not only in off years but in all years, and if thove be any so blind that they cannot this they should be excluded from the councils of the party. [t appears probable that the new legislature will bo in the coutral of the republicans, which will prevent the stato gevrymandered or Michi ganized, and will also insure tho election of a republican United States senator to succeed Senator Wilson, In that case the democratic victory will lack a great deal of decisive, though thero can be no mistaking its meaning as a verdict against prohibi- tion.

Itis confidently believed there that had tho country districts turned out their strongth or anything approximating it, Fas- sett would have been elected governor and the logisiature would havo been strongly republican. President Harrison, while de- clining to talk for publication, has frecly analyzed the pencral results 1n pri- vate conversution with his friends. Ho sces popublican victory wherever tional issues wora involved. So long as tho republicans confined the fight to tho state and national questions i York, Fassett was far in the lead but whou they began to focus the campaign into the form of war against Tammany, the most over- bearing and corrupt political organization in existenco, they bogan to circumscribe the battle field to the municipal bounds of New Yori City, for, although Tammany is a curso to the state, the voters in the northorn and western portions of the commonwealth ap- pear to have not shown near so much inter- st in the struggle against Tammany as upon the tanif, reciprocity, siiver or auy of the general questions, They stayed ut home in the country and the vole showed up hght where the republicans would have been stcongest had the national_issue been kept in the foreground. In New York City splendid prozress was made by the republicans, but the light vote in the country lost them tho state. Wherever a congressman was to oo elected or a national issue was directly in- olved, the president and his friends tind, as all inteiligent readers will sce, material re- publican zaius and success.

Senator Cullom of Tlhinots said tomght that the clection returns had no discourage- ment for him, although three democratic governors had boon clected and only one ve publican. He did not look upon this result as in any way indicating democratic suc- cess or bearing upon the uational election of New York. “Inthe threo states where the democrats havo won victories,” said he, b was no contest_over natioual issues tetwo democratic successes can't be d as of any national importance. In Towa, Boles had distinetly tur back on national issues aud bad made his whole campaign on the prohibition question which was distinetly local in Iow: I am inclined tothink that there are a number of temper- anco people in lowa who are rather t the extent to which the umlu-nu-m idy been earried and this seutimeat, in o ment, accounts for the success of With'this question out of the way lowa i3 naturally a republican state. 1 do not regard Boies’ eiection as anything more than the local advantage of purely local issues.” H.
