CAUSE OF THE CONVULSION Editors and Statesmen Give Their Views of the Political Revolution. REPUBLICANS ASCRIBZ IT TO THE TARIFF PDemocrats Say it Was the Hard Times, Dis- sutisfaction with the Course of Farty Leaders and Bad Candidates Forced by Party Machinery, TNDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 7.—In response to an inquiry by the Associated press today for an expression of his views regarding the re- sult of yesterday’s election, ex-President Har- rison sald: “It is the most extraordinary political revolution the country has ever witnessed. Wherever there was a free ballot the voto of confidence given In 1892 to the @emocratic party, If one was given, has been recalled and a vote of utter and final repudia- tion substituted, Tho incoherence of the democratic party was revealed the moment power was given to it to deal with national affairs. Tho Iusincerity of its platform anakers was exposed when “‘Be it enacted” took the place of “Be it resolved.” For thirty years party expediency has been sub- stituted by the leaders for party principles and expediency had as many faces as there were congressional districts. Every eccen- tric oross-current of popular prejudice was followed as if it were the gulf streams. No passion was too wild or violent for a demo- grat mount. Classes were created and in- flamed to outbreak and disorder, In one state debauched currency and in another a soclalism which was near to anarchy were &iven a bed. “Property, especlally mills and factories, were Invested and assaulted In one section and In another trusts were secretely coddied. The old democratic doctrine that favored the fevying of customs duties to the limit of an adequate revenuo was abandoned. A defi- «ciency to be made good by bond issue or by internal taxes was preferred to the ‘inei- dontal protection’ that adequate customs du- tios won'd give, The silver question was dealt with in the most vacillating and ir- Tesponsiblo manner. “'Mr. Cleveland described the situation per- fectly when he said in his letter to Mr. Wil- mon, ‘T (the democrats) are downcast under the assertion that their party fails in wbility to manage the government.’ A vast zuafority of our people believe in a protective tarif—uever so many and never so strongly They differ as to rates and sched- but not as to the principle. They be- in_reciprocity as the first method of ®etting foreign markets. They believe in a progressive and American foreign policy. The workingmen voted their prejudices in 1892; this year they showed their patriotism and their love of home. “The enormous falling off in the demo- cratic vote everywhere is not less emphatic 1ing than the majorities. ctory secured by the reform- ers in New York City ought to have been mentioned in the Thanksgiving proclamation —perhzps it would If it had come earlier. It gives the assurance so much needed that thero is an adequate recuperative power in the most ring-ridden communities; that popus dar government is equal to its severest test— the control of great cities. ““The lesson? Trust the people! The duty? Exercise the offices they have confided to us with the highest fidelity and patriotism. “‘About Indiana? Well, language fails me. X am proud of her.” WANTED A CHANGE. Springer Says that Is the Cause of the Democratic Defoat. CHICAGO, Nov. 7.—Congressman Wil- liam Springer wires the Associated press as follows: SPRINGFIELD, T, Nov. 7.—Your re- quest for my opinion on the result of the election in Illinols and the country is re- ceived. There were many causes which <ontributed to the defeat of the democratic marty. The dissatisfaction among demo- <rats caused by the delay in passing a tarift bill and the alleged imperfections in that measure had in a measure closed when the election occurred. Intelligent members of the party were satisfled that every possible effort would be put forth to secure prompt action. The hard times of a year ago, which had been attributed by republicans to threatening tariff legislation, caused a feel- ing of doubt in the minds of many as to the wisdom of the democratic tariff policy. The unemployed sought a change without stop- ping to inquire whether such a change would really benefit them or not. The manufac- turers of the country, who have been re- celving large beneflis from a protective tariff, were not disposed to give up any of the privileges which they had enjoyed here- to fore. They naturally resented any ef- fort to curtail their rights to tax the toll- ing millions for thelr own benefit. The business interests of the country were ap- pealed to by republican partisans to make large contributions to their campaign funds. “There were many evidences in this part of Illinols to prove that such appeals were not made in vain. The republican managers in this congressonal district were suppiled more liberally with campalgn funds than ever before known In this state. Never before were republican politicians so active and per- sistent In party affairs as during the cam- palgn In this district. The managers of the democratic party were active and aggressive, and they never made a more gallant fight: The stay-at-home vate among the democratts ‘was very large, so large in some localities as to raise the suspicion the voters had been pald to remaln away from the polls. The tidal wave of democratic prosperity, which st In Immediately after the passage of the democratic tarilt bill, was attributed by re- publicans to prospective republican success. They not only charged the democratic party with responsibility for the republican hard times, but they appropriated to themselves the great prosperity which followed the pas- sage of the measure. But notwithstanding the overwhelming defeat of the democratic party the prosperity which came from the adoption of its policy of tarlft reform will continue right along and increase in extent from week to week and month to month un- til all men will find employment at good ‘wages, and all the business interests of the country are in a healthy condition and placed upon a permanent and enduring foundation. Before the next presidential election occurs the bad condition brought about by demo- cratic legislation will so satisfactory that the country will reverse the verdict of last Tues- day and elect a democratic president and con- gress. Democrats should not feel discour- aged by this defeat. The tariff law cannot bo repealed during this administration, and time will vindicate Its wisdom and the coun- try will never consent to its abrogation or modification, except in the direction of greater reforms WILLIAM M. SPRINGER." PRESS COMMENTS, Democratic Journals Seek to Effect of Thelr Deteal NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—Of the result of the voting yesterday the Evening Post says: That the republicans would carry the north- ern election this year was generally ex- pected, but the extent of the victory was not anticipated. The financial panic of last year, altkough a prime factor in the case, is not sufficlent alone to account for it. Business depression, whatever may be its cause, al- ways lays against the party In power. Lut in the present case a deep: gloom was dded to the scandals connected with tariff legislation in congress.” In another place the Post says: “The overwhelming defeat of Hill s tie political death and burlal of the worst man i Ame can politics. His ghost will flit in and cut of the senate for the next two years, out his power for mischief is ended. For the first time in his carcer he stood yesterday solely upon hia character and record and secured a verdict from the people which was not com- plicated with any other issue.” The Evening World say “The demo- eratic party in the nation today suftered a somewhat unjust, but inevitable punishment for ita fallure (o carry out the mandate of the people. It was put in power two years ago to reform the tarifl. It talked and uabbled and wrangled about it. It pae- Eua business and disturbed industry. It made everybody uncomfortable and itself wonpopular, and then It surrendered its prin- arry the ciples at the demand of a gang of bribed blackmallers In the senats, and accepted compromise which the great mass of the peo- ple considered perfitious and dishonorable. For its misdeeds and misfortunes the people have wreaked vengeance upon If The Commercal Advertiser say “The battle is ove The enemy is routed. Re- publicanism has triumphed.” PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1.—The Bulletin this afternoon says: It is not often a politi- cal revolution has been presaged so long in advance and 8o conspicuously by the unmis- takable signs which have been apparent this year and to which even the dullest eye could not be blind. The condemnation of the dem- ocratle party is no sudden act of caprice; it is the deliberate and dispassionate judg- ment of the American people. BAYS IT WAS 1 Stevenson Lays the Result to Trade Do- prossion and Tarlff Delays. BLOOMINGTON, Nov. 7.—Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson spent the entire day in seclusion In the home of his brother, John, meditating upon the political events of yesterday and preparing to attend the wedding of a nephew which takes place tonight. It was a dreary day, with leaden skies and a cold drizzle dimming the window panes. Mr. Steven- son, when asked to state his opinion as to the causes leading up to the democratic defeat of yesterday, said: “My opinion can be briefly stated. " The result is due in part 10 the financial depression which came upon the country soon after the inauguration of Mr. Cleveland.” While the democrats were in no way responsible for this, they were made the scapegoats. It was also in part due to he delay of congress in passing the tarift bill. Had the bill become a law ninety days earlier than it did, it is probable that the business conditions of the country would have so adjusted themselves that the politi- cal result would have been different.” Mr. Stevenson will depart from Blooming- ton this week for Asheville, N. C., where he will join his family, who are sojourning there. "He will remain in the south three weeks, going thence to Washington. Cleveland Didn’t Show Up. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—The cabinet offi- cers were late in reporting to their desks today. The president did not come into the city at all, but remained at Woodley, presum- ably at work on his annual message to con- gross. As a general rule nobody occupying a prominent place fn the administration cared to talk for publication today respecting the election. The sivgle exception was As- sistant Secretary Doe of the War depart- ment, who had been fully confident that his party would hold its own, at least in his native state, Wisconsin. He sald: “The election In some r ects reminds one very much of that of 1874. This election will also be claimed by the late calamity howlers to be a decisive verdict against the tariff re- form, but in fact it is nothing of the kind That is one issue which never will be set- tled until a tarifft for revenue has been given a fair trial.” Senator Call of Florida, when asked about the result of yesterday's election, said: ‘“Gone up; gone up—when a party has been advocating a certain policy during all its experience, and when it goes into power fails to carry out that policy, It is sure to suffer defeat.’” MeKinley Polnts to the Figures. COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. 7.—Governor Mc- Kinley was in his office early, considering the fact that he was out most of last night re- celving election returns. Being asked what he thought about the situation he preferred not to talk. He would only say: ‘The sweepiug republican victories indicated at this hour are Impressive. They need no interpretation. They express better than words the revised and deliberate judgment of the people upon the public questions in- volved in the political contest now closed.” Hill Was Silent. ALBANY, Nov. 7.—Senator Hill, who was at his office early today, refuses to make any statement of his views upon the result of the election, MINNESOTA. Everything Went Republican Even In the Democratic Strongholds, ST. PAUL, Nov. 7.—The returns from all but nine precinets In the city of St. Paul give Nelson, republican, 5,116 plurality, the vote standing: Nelson, 11,530; Becker, 5,483; Owen, 6414, This tremendous republican vote in the banner democratic county of the state is simply a sample of the way things went yes- terday. Early in the night it became a ques- tion of plurality and by today the figure had reached 40,000 republican plurality and the end did not yet seem to have come. But meager returns have been received from congressional districts, but all the re- publican candidates seem to have won by pluralities ranging in the thousands. Colonel A. R. Kiefer of the St. Paul district has 6,000 ‘plurality; Congressman Tawney of the First district is re-elected by an equal figure d the vote for C. A. Towne in the Duluth district has thus far been placed higher, but may be reduced. The Seventh district is the populist stronghold, but seems to have gone the way of the rest of the world, although the election of F. M. Eddy, republican, is not yet conceded. Nor do the democrats yet ac- knowledge the defeat of Congressman Hall in the Third, although the republicans claim the election of Heatwole In that district by over 1,000 plurality. The re-election of Con- gressman McCleary In the Second and Fletcher in_the Fifth is conceded by large figure: How large the republican majority will be in the legislature does not vet appear, but it is vory great. The democrats seem to have doserted their candidates largely for the other parties, many of them seeming to vote for Nelson, republican, to prevent the elec- tion of Owen, populist., MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 7.—The republicans swept Hennepin county, giving Nelson for governor 6,000 plurality, electing Loren Fletcher to congress by 7,000, electing Robert Pratt mayor of Minneapolis by 3,000 and winning on the county and ety tickets. Minnesota elects six republican congressmen, with the result in the Third still doubtful. The legislature will be heavily republican, sending a republican senator to succeed Washburn. Heatwole is elected to congress from the Third Minnesota district. This makes Min- nesota’s delegation solid republican. ST. PAUL, Nov. 7.—At first there was a doubt of the re-election of Judge Collins as judge of the supreme bench, Judge John Willis, democratic-populist, having made an active canvass for the place, but returns re- colved this afternoon caused the Dis- patch to claim Judge Collins' election by 10,000 plurality. The republican state com- mittee claims at least 30,000 plurality for Governor Nelson, Close estimates on the legislature give the republicans thirty-two majority on joint ballot. Frank M. Eddy, republican, for congress, is running ahead of his ticket in the Seventh district, his vote being much heavier than two years ago, when Boen, populist, defeated Ferg, repub- lican, by eighty-six votes. Joel P. Heatwole, republican, claims 2,500 plurality over Con gressman Hall in the Third district. WEST VIRGINIA, Wilson's Defeat Aoknowledged by Democrats Themselves. CHARLESTON, W. Va., Nov. 7.—Last night the democrats conceded the First and Fourth districts to the republican candi- dates, Dovener and Howard. Today's ad- vices from Logan county, the democratic stronghold, showed such a falling off in the democratic vote that Alderson, democratic candidate for congr barely carried the county. The democratic managers then con- ceded the election of Huling, republican, in the Third district by a decisive pluraiity. Although doubt has been expressed as to the result in the Second district, yet the defeat of Wilson was not conceded by the demo- cratic managers until today noon. When it was learned that Marlon county, a demo- cratic stronghold, had been carried by Day- ton by 400 over Wilson, the latter's defeat was conceded but no figures were given. The republicans today claim that Dayton's plural- ity over Wilson will be not less than 1,600 and if the basis of gains since morning is maintained Dayton's plurality will be con- siderably over 2,000. The returns from the counties in Wilson's district show that the republicans did not cast much more than their usual vote, but that the democratic vete falls far shore on account of those not voting.

Alderson, democrat, by 1,000 plurality, Republicans claim 2,000. They also claim that Dovenor is elected in the First and Dayton in the Second. The democratio execu- tive committee has not yet conceded Huling's election. Private telegrams give McDowell to Huling by 1,400; Mercer by 200. Alderson got Summers by 200 plurality. The entire republican county ticket, includ- ing_legislature, is clected by good majorities. G. W. Patton, republican, has probably beaten R. . Carr, democrat, for state senate. It looks like a landslide. No news can be ob- tained from other counties. Governor McCorkle gives.up the state, he says, as well as the congressmen. The house will ‘be republican by good majorities, and it looks like the state senate is a standoff. The democrats may get fourteen out of twenty- six senators, which will give the republicans a_majority on joint ballot of six or seven. Elkins will be the next United States senator. While the democratic state committee con- cedes the elections of republicans In all four of the congressional districts and on local tickets, never going that way before, its growing surprise is on the loss of the legis- lature. With the legislature sixteen republi- can majority on joint ballot, the election of Stephen B. Blkins to succeed J. N. Camden as United States senator Is generally con- ceded. Elkins managed the campaign against Wilson as well as the legislative canvass. Republicans are elected in all four of the con- gressional districts as follows: First, B. B. Dovernor, 3,000; Second, Aliston G. Dayton, 2,000; Third, Bates H. Huling, 3,000; Fourth, Warren Miller, 2,000. There are eight coun- ties yet to count officially, most of which will give republican pluralities. The republicans are claiming Dayton’s election by 2,000, but Senator Faulkner says he does not concede Wilson's defeat, and will not do so until the official returns are all in. Mr. Wilson resting at his home in Charleston, and is tak- ing matters calmly. He has nothing to say. WYOMING. Republican State Ticket and Legislature Ensily Elected. CHEYENNE, Nov. 7.—Incomplete returns frcm every county in Wyoming show that Frank W. Mondell, republican candidate for congress, will have at least 2,000 plurality, Willam A. Richard, for governor, and the remainder of the republican state ticket will be elected by at least 1,600. Chairman Van- deventer estimates that the republicans will Lave thirty-nine of the fifty-fivye members of the legisiature and will control both branches, insuring the election of two republican United States senators to succeed Warren and Carey. Every county shows large republican gains. Complete returns have not been received from a single county in the state. The vote was unusually large. From reports received the majority of the women's vote went to the republicans. Chairman Vandeventer of the republican committee claims thg election of the entire republican ticket, while Chair- man Corthell of the democratic committee, also makes a similar claim, though one of his clerks says that only half of the ticket is hoped for. Roturns from eleven Wyoming counties show 5,000 plurality for Frank W. Mondel, republican, for congress, over Henry A. Cof- teen, democrat, and 8. B. Sealy, populist, Willlam A. Richards, republican, is elected governor by 2,600 plurality, defeating Lewis C. Sealy, populist, and Holliday, democrat. Republicans will have a majority in the legis- lature, insuring the election of two republican senators. Ropublicans Roll Up One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Sajority. CINCINNATI, Nov. 7.—Returns [ndicate that the republican plurality for secretary of state will exceed 150,000. The present Ohlo delegation In congress consists of eleven democrats and ten republicans, The newly elected delegation consists of nineteen republicans and two democra follows: First, Charles P. Taft, repul Becond, J. H. Broomwell, republican; Third, P, J. Sorg, democrat; Fourth, F. C. Layton, demo- crat; Fifth, F. W. DeWitt, republican Sixth, George W. Hulick, republican Seventh, George W.

State Safoly Republic ture Likewise—A Murder. CHICAGO, Nov. 7.—The returns today showed continued gains for the republican ticket. Every man on the republican con- gressional and county ticket is elected pluralities ranging from 14,000 to 2 the state legislature will be republican by a generous lead, perhaps twenty, insuring a republican suc tor Cullom. The surprising republican gains Indicated that each of the seven congressional districts in the city are republican, with the possible exception of Congressman McGann's district, though some democratic leaders con- cede hs defeat today. Ex-Congressman Frank Lawler, independent, in the Fourth district was badly beaten, and Congressman ldsier, although leading his ticket in the has apparently lost. irman Tanner, at 12:30 p. m. today, tays the republicans have a pluralty in Illinois of over 125,000, a gain over 1892 of more than 150,000; have elected nineteen congressmen out of twenty-two, with two of the remain- ing three still in doubt. These are in the Third, Sixteenth and Twenty-first distric Coole county, including Chicago city, givi between 35,000 and 40,000 republican plu- rality. With s'x precincts to hear from Congress- man McGann was 900 votes behind Belknap, republican, and it is probable that the ofi- clal count ‘will be necessary to decide the re- sult. The heaviest vote polled on a populist congressional candidate in the city was that of White, in the Second district, who re- ceived close to 7,000 votes. Lloyd, populist, votes than the democratic candidate. The attempt by a gang of toughs to steal the ballot box at 117 Oak street at 12:15 this morning has resulted in murder. Gus Col- cander, the judge of the election, who was shot In the abdomen, died some hours later. The police think they have one of the party which id the shooting. At the Emcrgency hospital is a man with two bulllet wounds, one in the thigh and one near the heart. He was brought in early this morning, and as' he was unable to give an account of himself he was immediately sus- pected. J. F. Waters, who was shot in the arm, is well enough today to finish counting tho ballots, Contrary to first reports none of the men had on masks. The populist total yote in the city, estimated from the returns of about one-half the num- ber of voting precincts in the city, will ap- proximate 30,000 The populist ticket re- ceived support in eyeny ward, their largest vote being polled in_the vicinity of Pullman, the stock yards. and the railroad stations, While not a populist: candidate was elected in the county, the pagty’s leaders say they are greatly encouraged by the showing.
