It was the landslide of 1892 on it* return trip. It i* conceded by the democrat* that Texas is still very largely democratic. Mr. Hill will be found some* where under the lower strata of the landslide. The Tammany tiger is in need of nsedical attendance from some ex¬ pert fur repairer. 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.

Frivol of the old in to ri I jS-Su* ri - n m ■ m id 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* have carried their state ticket, have secured a msjori* ty of the state legislature, thereby a in the United ite. *-: ,S5' r to 5T-S 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 w.>. be.., ...ocia.ed, found ,h.

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 . . to other , onlookers, , , as of their »itr.tion. While these four St te# form iUc conspicuous , instances of , the Degrading alliance or surrender, they sur¬ a mass of evidence to simi lar facts spread throughout the in Congress districts and canvasses for State Legislatures.
