He will remain Senator Hill..
It was the landslide of 1892 on

It i* conceded by the democrat*

Mr. Hill will be found some*

landslide.
The Tammany tiger is in need of

Will Senators Gorman, Brice
and Smith kindly contemplate the
results of their handiwork?
The people’s party also had some¬
thing to aay and said it in a loud
and penetrating tone of voice.
Tom Reed was one of the gentle
men who wire seen tobogganing
merrily on the front seats of the
landslide. “

In several places—-notably in
Chicago ami New York—^he con¬
test over national issues has been
but tlie basis of the agitation brew¬
ed on local issues. The simulta¬
neous efforts of the two greatest
cities on the continent to get rid of
the evil contamination of spoils- <
man’s politics will be remembered
as a conspicuous feature of the
campaign. Unless, indeed, this
one be a precedent, it it not likely
that any “off year” within a reason¬
able lengh of time will witness
such general popular excitement
as has that of 1894.
Defeat of Tammany Half.
Tammany hall and its leader,
David JB. Hill, have gone down to¬
gether in overwhelming defeat.
The wave of republican success
which swept over the rest of the
country has carried all before it in
the rural districts of New York
state, and, reaching the metropolis,
has borne down the united opposi¬
tion of Tammany with force seem¬
ingly unspent. Levi P. Morton is
elected governor of New York by
a piuralty between 130,000
and 150,000 and William L.
Strong, the republican and anti
Tammany candidate for mayor,
has been elected by a piuralty
exceeding 40,000. The draw¬
ing away of part of the democratic
vote to the anti-Tammany demo¬
cratic tickets doubtless contributed
considerably to the size of these
pluralities, but even had the Tam¬
many ticket had the benefit of the
independent democratic votes it
would still lack the figures neces
sary to success, It is when the re
suits of the present election are
compared with Gov. Flower’s plu
ralty of 47,000 votes in 1891 and
Mayor Gilroy’s piuralty of over 60,•
000 votes in 1892 that the extraor¬
dinary character of New York’s
political revolution if seen.
The election, in fact, has had the
effect of suddenly lifting the entire
machinery of state and municipal
government out of the hands of
Tammany, and with the republican
majorities in the general assembly
it is likely to remain out of those
hands for some time to come. If
the republicans have carried the
constitutional amendment proposi¬
tion providing for the reapportion
ment of the state on plans beat
suited to republican interests the
power of the faction hitherto con¬
trolling is bound to be greatly cur¬
tailed, if, indeed, it has any chance
of asserting itself in time to become
effective in the presidential elec¬
tion of 1896.
Apart from its significance as an
indication of the force of a politi¬
cal movement of national extent
and proportions, the election in
New York city bat a meaning of
its own. It is doubtful if even the
decided republican tendencies of
tbe year would have broken down
so effectually the resistance of Tam¬
many hall had it not been aided by
tbe force of outraged public senti¬
ment and tbe general indignation
at the disclosures of the Lexow
committee. At laat New York ha*
freed beracif from the grasp of the
institution which has had its hand,
her throat for years. State and
alike are exempt from the pow¬
which baa dominated everything
in the course of legislation at Al¬
bany and in the city government.
In the moment of her freedom,
she has dealt David B. Hill a
blow from which ho is but little
likely to recover.
Victory.
The returns from all parts of the
show that the republican
party hat,won a victory quite at
sweeping and decisive as the demo*
tic victory of 189a. In liitooi*

ic state* the republican* are how
supreme.
To get at the primary cause of
this country’s revolutionary return
to the dominion of the republicans,
we must first look at the part play¬
ed in the election by the populists.
Populism is a mixture of socialism
and insanity. It is either - hostile
and repugnant to the spirit of this
Democratic land, or it is foreign
to i<. We have not reached the
intellectual or political degradation
at which populism can prosper.
How great a factor it has been in,
producing the recent election, will
be seen from a study of national
politics as it is revealed after less
than two years’control by an Ad¬
ministration, which has dealt to
public confidence the blow of repu¬
diating the Democratic principles
it stood for when elected, and of
setting up un-American and in¬
flammatory Populistic standards in
their stead. The republicans have
now swept back into their fold all
their recently wandering Northern
and Western states, with majorities
in some instances greater than ever,
the four Northern states, Indiana,
Connecticut, New York, and New
Jersey, where, after the war, the
Democratic party finally rose in
strength sufficient to restore itself
to the control of the Government,
and in addition the Southern states
of Tennessee, Maryland, and Dela
ware. This is the situation in
1894. It is not difficult to see the
reason for it.
In Nebraska, for example, the
Democratic party this year endured
unknown humiliation of being
no longer one of the two parties
contesting for the control of the
State. The voters who desired to
protect the politics and the busi
of Nebraska from the disgra e
destructiveness of Populism,
.„d pre.erve the ra.in id... with
which, as Democrats or Republi
indiscriminately, . . . they . had ... al

which they must turn for succor.
Democratic r, . citizens ... of f VT Nebras- ,__
ka had to join the Republican ranks.
own organization had been
for the benefit of the
Populists, and there was no other
of restating Populism.
In Colorado tbe movement to
the Populist Waite of the
bridles” was for the same
consolidated under the Re¬
flag.
In Nevada the Republicans again
left as the sole defenders of
essential and elementary ideas
American politics; and all Dem¬
who fought the Populist*
to wear a Republican badge.
In North Dakota, where the Re¬
likewise presented their
party front, the single
on the Populist ticket
served to exhibit more un¬
tbe repulsive character
which had been given to his own
party. What Democrats in these
were themselves confronted
Democrats elsewhere from
M.m« to California were fored to
and to biu.h for, and to

in Congress districts and
