Tuesday's election resul’edTn a Sreit Republican victory. That puny w.U liave In the next house a majority of nbout 100, and possibly may control the senate also. As the Democratic majority In the present nouso Is eighty, the ehanuo in public lenUment and opinion lud'.oated by the ttupuhUcan majority 61 100 Is very great. Ap parently. the people -cent something which the Democratic party has done, or they (ear the effects of eyiuatlr n^ which it threatens to do. Tfiejo w!)l be differences, of opinion fl* to the cause of the Republican landslide—that Is to nay, whether the people resented the Democratic change of tae tariff,or feared that the Democrat* won)<\ br'ng disaster on the country by exper.tllOllts with the currency. The matter Is one that ought to bo discussed dispassionately, with a sin cere Intention to arrive at tile truth, and, aa far as possible, without preju dice. The conclusions thus reached may be of value to the party, whereas if each newspaper editor sets ont to prove that the party 1* ruined because It failed to do as he demnuded, then It | Is likely that tho cnu»e» which led to ) defeat will become even more active : and result in even more disastrous de feat In tlio future. Now, what do tho election figures I show? They show, in tho first place, ' that tho revolt against tho Demeciatio party was lb no Sense'local, but was common to California tend to Mnssa-. chusctts, to Indiana riid to Notv York. I Only In those Southern states where the negro vote is a -.trio factor i>> pel-1 lt cs did the Democratic party hold Us I own. In border states like Tcnhusseo 1 and Kontucky It suffered almost in as great a measure as In the status north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers This fact, that tho defeat of,tho party was general and not, local,, la of dm utmost Importance. Ah attempt wai muds, oven before tho election, in an ticipation -or defeat, to, 2x the blamo of that defeat upon the president. The Atlanta Constitution, for instance, per mitted a correspondent to say In Us columns the day beftro the ol.-ctlon, speaking of the pres.Jeut's failure to regjter and rote In New York, that “the spirit of tho Buffalo hangman tri umphed over that of me Democ.mtlo president. The disasters which will happen to tho Demoerulo party o»u be justly charged to the traitor of the White House." This (s not the proper course lor a Democratic newspaper, but Is a nat ural one for ti newspaper not lu sym pathy with tlu> purposes of tho .Dam- ocratlo party aud bitterly hostile to tho Democratic president. Thut pa per’* attempt to persuade It* readers that tho disastrous results of Tuesday's election were due to tho failure of tho president to take part In tho Now York elections Is likely to faiL Pi view of the fact that the disaster waa si marked in'otlier states at la Nc-v York. The causes which produced a disaster so widespread must be general lu char acter, and It becomes Democratic news paper* which really have the welfare of to# party at heart to discover pre cisely what they were. It seems to the Telegraph that the first ot these causes was the general and blind dis content produced by bad business con ditions during the last year or more. The Democrats party la not respon sible for the conditions which produced the depression that has prevailed dur ing tbta year, and ts responsible only for the delay, growing out of factional fights in It* own ranks, ,o repealing the Sherman law and In substituting the Wilton act for tha McKinley law.'. Blit by thousands ot people who voted the Republican ticket for the first ttma Uet Tuesday, tlio' Demooratlo' party la held responsible for tho results of Republican legislation. They found themselves suffering and they struck blindly at the party in power beesuso to that party only could they look for relief. They did not atop to ask whether the party In power could giro relief Immediately, or wheraer It was responsible for the loss they suffered. They merely obeyed a blind desire to strike. Another reason suggested by tho election return la that the country dis trusted the Democratic party .‘n con nect .on with tha currency question. There baa been a tremendous effort J nude by certain leaden and uewtpa-1 pen u> Identify tbs Democratic jvirty w to tbe unlimited and unguarded coin age of silver at the W to i ratio-shat - 1* to say, on the terms demanded by the Populists. These leaders and news papers succeeded, to j very considera ble extent. They Manned thousands of Democrat* who were at true io the principles of the party a* men who voted the ticket, but Woo feared that the party was about to go Into control of a dangerous element and could no longer be trusted to preu-rve a sound currency for the country. That the revolt against the Uem «r*tlo party was largely because of this reason is Indicated by the fact that Democratic tosses and Populist losses come to gether. The Populist party is prac tically wiped out of existence as a force in national politics. It stood In this campaign for nothing but ebeap money. It It not reaaonab'a to say that if the parly stand.ng only for cheap money suffered In tills degree, that the Democratic patty also suf fered for the same lease,i, when the fact !s well known that a large faction in the party bad iccepred Populist theories and wss trying to torcc them upon the party a* n whole. It la probable'that in terrain legions, wbere the protective industries hive bad a large development, that tho par ty lost strength because of Its action on the tariff. But the ima from tils cause was very small. In our opinion, compared with the loss troti the two other causes already enumerated. We do not believe the Democratic party can regain Its hold ou the oonflc.cnce ot the people so ling as tuere is any reason to fear that If entrusted with power It will enact into law any of the cheap money schemes which have been so earnestly advocated during the last three or four yearn. The revolt WSs, In cur, opinion, first against bard times, and, second, against Populism, whether In the Populist par ty or the Democratic party. When the Democratic party gels rid of Pop. ullsm it will aga.n have a fair chance to guln control ot the country and hold It worst possible enemy of the party In forcing this nomln I'.ldii and bringlrg about a Democratic defeat. Mr. Cleveland coui-1 have well asked himself It bis duty to his party did nut require him to abstain from brining a man to a place of honor—to the place, In fact, of national leader-who tad used me party as an instrument «t bis personal ambition, and in so using It bad greatly damaged tt, aud who when trusted as a representative of the par ty In the senate bad used all of bis strength to defeat Its policy and acted openly with its enemies. Mr. Cleve land might also ask why Tam many, in selecting congressional can didate* this year, renominated every man who followed Mr. Hill's example and voted ugalnst tariff reform, and rejected every mao who baft been faith ful to Ms party and voted for the tariff reform bill which Is now a law. It '» not an accident that this was done. It was deliberate policy, Why other wise should Mr. Gilroy, now head ot Tammany, say, as was reported la yes terday's d.spatches, when Informed that Mr. Wilson had been defeated, "That Is good.” In making tost remain he proclaimed himself the enemy uf the Democratic party, and ho is tho polit ical ally, the lieutenant, of Mr. HIIL They have worked together in politics, and no doubt hold the same slows It may very well be questioned whether the Democratic party la Injured mere by being defeated by the Bepublicars than It would have been had it ac cepted as Us most powerful leader a man who fought tariff reform with all bis strength and mado Maynard Its candldste In New York. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest Tj.S. Gov’t Report 'af Powder ABSOEDTEK.V PU|*E SENATOR BACON. ' CLEVELAND AND HILL. A great deal has been said In harsh criticism of Mr. Cleveland's failure to take an active part in the campaign In New York in behalf of Mr. Hill. Tho Telegraph, In Us desire for DemocraUc success, felt that Mr. Cleveland could well afford to do all In ills power to secure the election of the Democratic ticket In that state. But It ts absurd to say, as some of our contemporaries do, that there was no excuse for Mr. Cleveland Jn his failure to conic to Mr. Hill's support. In 1800 and 1802 the Democratic party went to the country on Almost a single ksuc—that of tariff reform. In each of these campaigns It gained an overwhelming victory, lu the first of them the Republican party was almost turped out of tho lower house of con gress. In the second, tho Democratic party gained oontrol of overy branch of the government. It It stood tor any thing, therefore. It stood for tariff re form. Its failure to reduce tariff taka- tlon could mean nothiug but that It was utterly false to lu trust, and could have no results except to bring tlio par ty Into the deepest oontempt of all honest, right-thinking people. Congress was called together in ex traordinary session lu August, tSlM. A few days after it met, Mr. Hill of fered a resolution, the purport of which wns that tho public Interests required that there should be mi tariff legisla tion at that session of congress. At tho very'beginning, there Cur i, of liis ca reer as a senator—at <lr> very first op portunity—ho declared himself not merely the enemy of a specific tariff reform measure, bat at tariff reform in general, and theref-vo of tho policy to which his party was thoroughly committed, and which It could not rail to execute without disgracing itself. After this, through all the long months of tho extra session au>l the regular session, Mr. Hill wts consistent In his opposition to tariff ret inn, He found an excuse always to oppose any bill offered, and finally, when the Wilson, bill came to a vote, after mouth* of delay, which he help-il to cause, he voted against tho bill sntl with the Re publicans. If there is an accusation of treason, therefore, why should it not be addressed to Mr. 1IU! Instead ot Mr. Cleveland! Wh? should tlio man who mado tariff reform possible, who was elected president aa the champion of that policy, go out of his way to help elect a man who hud used .,11 of his power to defeat thu policy and to disgrace his party? There i* another eonalderxt on which may have had weight with Mr. Cleve land. Mr. Hill is being held up n* a model Damoerat by those who lute the president—at a man always faith ful to hi* party. Hui It It tru-s that be forced a nomination upou that party In the state of New York In payment of a personal obligation that enured It* defeat by fifty thousand majorl'y— the flm In many j.-an, The party was demorattred oy that defeat, be cause the defeat was deserred. The candidate which :t h:iu offered to the people was a man who had been de clared by a committee, composed of the most prominent members of >he bar of New York, to be guilty ot one of the most serious crimes known to the law, and tuis candidate was ci rcled for a seat in tho bench of u« highest court of tho state. The result ot Maynard's crime was the seat ng ot Mr. Hill In the United States senate and the continuation ot bls'poUttcsl career. Nobody can deny that Mr. □ill’s debt to him was a great cne. But It he loved the party as much as he I* i-.ild told o do. bow conM he. subject it to defeat—worse ihan that, subject It to disgrace—fo:' no tetter reason than that ho wished to pay May nard for making him United Slate* senator? He oerta.n'y was himself the THE MACON AND NORTHERN. The outline of the reorganization plan of the Southern railway, which was reprinted in the Telegraph a few days ago from the New York Herald, makes provision for the absorption into tbe Southern’* system of rho Macon and Northern railroad. Since then Judge Speer has confirmed the sale of the Macon and Northern to Mr. Alexander Brown of Baltimore. Tho fate of tha ,roud, therefore, Is In the hands of tho latter gentleman. The provision for the ibsorptlan of the road in tbe Southern railway’s system makes It evident that that vast corporation will be a oldtter for Mr. Brown’s property. It Is nacunfl to In fer from the circumstances which ex ist thut tho Seaboard Air LlneVwIll be another bidder, and In the success of the latter. In the opinion of the Tele graph, Macon Is very greatly Inter ested. Through Its connection at Ath ens with the Seaboard Air Line, the Macon and Northern affords an Inde pendent outlet for Macon to the north east. Without this Independent line Macon. is practically dependent upon tbe lines of a single company. It Is probable that this company will bo managed with a great deal of skill, that it will avoid, as far as possible, creating udt.igonlsm, and that it .-ill honestly endeavor to build up the coimnu titles through which It runs. It Is good bus iness for a great railroad to do all ot these things. Ncvertheles* it is a good thing for t oity to have independent means of railroad connection with the rest ot tbe world, and tie sincerely hope that tho Seaboard .Air Lino will buy the Macon und Northern and re lieve Macon thereby of complete de pendence on tbe Southern. OHXNA AND JAPAN? Perhaps the world has not witnessed before such a scene us that which oc curred at Pekin and was reported In our telegrams yesterday, wUeu the man tvbo Is the dictator of the most pop ulous empire on earth called nil ’of the foreign ministers in council and openly confessed to ibeui that tho em pire of which he la tne head ts utterly unable to defend itself against tho andles of another nation, insignificant In population und wealth compared with It. * In doiug this, Prince Rung practically throw himself on the merry of the civ ilised European nations. He admitted that Japan had the power to destroy the Chinese emD.re. Ho begged that these European naiVina, lu order to protect their one 'nt« oats, save his empire from destruction. It Is likely that peue will bo the re sult of this appeal for mercy, Tho ruler who makes It ia prepared to make any concessions which Japan demands. It la only the power ot Wopeau power* who may wish to preserve China in her present condition substantially uu changed, that will limit thu amount of the tndemn.ty which Japan will re ceive. It Is likely that tho European arbitrators will demand that Japan's advance Into China ceaataud that their demand will be heeled. Then they will decide, in all probability, that Ja pan's victories entitle her to suzerainty over Corea, adit to an iudemnity large enough to cover her expenses during the war. These terms w il bo liberal to Japan, and will probably lead to a permanent peace. There Is not In tho Chinese a national prole so sensitive that it will resent la after ytara tue present Japanese suoeess. TheChlmse want peace and are vUlIng to pay high for It PERSONAL. ij Mr. F.

Senator Baoon la a man of conceded ability. He occupies positions on ail manors ot public import which axe aat- isfaooory to every Democrat—save on tho silver question, and on tinuit position is fairly conservative. While an advo cate of free coinage he Is not In favor or any project mat might destroy the parity between gold and sliver. Senator Baoon naa reached the goal of his am bition.

If ha will maike un his mind as independently and pilitrlottdojJIy a« Judge Turner he will probaib.y be able .o serve ue well—wmen his ca pacity and character have been sum- eleutly tested to give him the Influence of tout distinguished Georgian. He is evidently a mum Who will take a broad view of the requirements of political oomaistoncy, and he Is. we firm ly believe, too flirong a man to be han dled by nuybody. We have been the strong advocate of Judge Turner, and as heartily regret has defeat, but there are many rea- sdtis. both of staite pride and personil OBsoolatlon, why we should delight heartily to Indorse the- course of Sena tor Bacon.

DUBLIN'S PROGRESS. Dublin, Nov. 7.—(Special.) —From tbe appearance of the many new brick buildings being erected, It would seem to the average o.t!zen that the city is on a boom and progressing rapidly.

The Populists meet here Friday to put out county officers. To Insure an overwhelming defeat for the Populists It is thought advisa ble that the Democrats stick to the present sheriff and the clerk »f tho court. They are fast and have a great many supporters.
