greatest possible extent.

the Hijuabbla among the republican lead

fact, tho majority may be so largo as to
be unwieldy, and incapable of acquiring
the dkc.plino that a narrower margin of
strength would j enforce. In addition
to this great victory in the congress
ional elections, Jthe democracy cap
tured tno,o strongholds of republi
canism, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and
Massachusetts In every part of the
country, North, South, East and West,
it made large gains. Its victory was not
a sectional one. The democracy is tri
umphant, not because it has conqutrtd
or debasod any part of the union, but be
cause it ha3 won to its willing support a
great majority of tho people.
But while this is true, it is further true
that the Democratic party was vastly
helped by its adversary, w hlch in its in
solence, intolerance and gigantic corrup
tion, has kept beforo the public for a
yoar past a glaring object lesson, illus
trating the evils naturally growing
out ot republican principles and policy.
Democrats liavo had no argument to con
vince mm’s minds that they wero right
and the republicans wrong, so potent an
the record made by the present congress.
Tho significance of tho result can hardly
be overestimated, Mr. Blaine
Philadelphia speech said, in effect, that
the fato of protection depended on the
election in Pennsylvania, and his West
ern speeches showed that he regarded
the tariff os practically tho only issue.
IIo hardly touched upon any other sub
ject. A leading republican paper of Phil
adelphia, arguing on tho same lino, said
that the tariff was the issue, and that if
the democrats carried Pennsylvania pro
tection would not last five years. Such
a reault, it nrgued, would leavo Western
republican senators free to follow their
inclinations and vote for freo trade.
Neither Mr. Blaine nor the Inquirer
meant exactly what was said. T.iey
wero trying to arouse republicans to tho
necessity of sticking close lo their party;
but novorthcloss they expressed some
thing of the truth. The McKinley bill
on trial in Pennsylvania, os well as
in tho baimco of the country, and it was
overwhelmingly condemned. The peo
ple have declarod in a manner that can
not bo misunderstood or explained away
that they want no mere trading by party
politicians in tho government's taxing
power,
Tho forco bill, too, wai condemned.
That represented tho appeal to sectional
hatred, which tho roi.uhlic-i

classes. Hut, though condemned, the
forco bill may yet bo passed. It
is yet cnpablo of stirring up strife, and
that is wl.at ita authors want. To pass
it vsould bo to defy tho will of tho peo
ple, but the rej ublicant are ustd to doing
that.
Iteod’s arrog&nt tyranny was also con

it will be composed after the 4th
of next March. There is more
than one republican senator who
heed the warning conveyed by tho elec
tions nnd ceaio to obey slavishly the be*
heats o.'a caucus controlled completely
by protection influence. To neglect that
warning would be todefy their constitu
ents and risk their own careers.
The rebuke the administration has re
ceived is the severest ever administered
According to the latest estimates the
democratic overplus in the House will
bo much larger than tho whole republi
can representation. The insolent party
which In tho present Homo, led by
Hpeaker Heed, has trampled on the
rights of the minority, laughed con
tcmntuously nt the precedents of a Hun
drod years and pursued unblushlngly
its attempt to corrupt the electorate of
tho whole country, will find itself in
tho next House a minority so pitiful that
the triumphant democracy neod not con
sider it in any calculations. The protest
of the country in 1874 against the scan
dais of the Grant administration was
mild, compared with the protest against
the col-J-blooied tyranny and corruption
of Harrisons in I860.
Tho effect on tho politics of the coun
try cannot fail to bo groat. For years
the belief in Quayism, in the power
^ money nnd patronage to win
even in the worst cause, has steadily
grown. This was shown in the fact that
Quay himself remained in control of tho
Hepublican party, though convicted iu
<ho popular mind of almost every vil
lainy that coaid dirgraco a public man.
Ilis ability in manipulating voters nnd in
using money so that it would produce the
largest results in corrupting the fran
chise was held by the party which boasts
ituelf tho party of high moral ideas to
more tl.au offset his reputation for utter
unmmniousnos* The election ins
proved that tho low estimate put on tho
American voter wav a mistaken one, nnd
we may expect hereafter that politicians
will anpeal more confidently to his |>a-
triotism and his sense of justice. This
will be a distinct gain for the country.
Tho politicians of which Quay is the best
and mo*t p-rpect type may find them
selves held in tho contempt they deserve.
The ((evolution at the North.
The Boston Post calls tit result of the
election a “revolution,” and s iys that in
New England “it was not the result of •
changing population, of tho Introduc
tion of cutiiruliiog local issues or of the
successful marshalling of a democratic
vote which in other years has not been
brought ont It can hardly bo called an
uprising of the people. It is simply
transfer of the intelligence, tho loyalty
and the public spirit of the Republican
party to another allegiance.”
There is a good deal of truth in this,
*#n when applied to the whole country,
as well as to Now England. For years
tho Republican party has appealed for

try and to certain das oi of tho popuh

Th# llrforiii Victory.
With democratic sennt rs from New
Hampshire, Now York, Illinois, Wiscon-
d Kansas, ns thero probably will
bo, the republican majority in the Senate
b reduced to two. Tho gain of one m re
member by the democrat would destroy
the work on which tho drsperato politi

Republican party havo decoded for the
ruaintenanco of the results they havo
gained by their unscrupulous methods
and bold tyranny in the lower horn
They packed the .Senate with members
from immature ternt.ries, hastily
erected into state;, foi
other purpose than to. guard tho robber
tariff law, th* sectional force bill and the
accomplished and projected pension steals
against tho indignation of the peo<
plo. They cxjiectel the peoplo to
revolt against than. Many of them con
ceded long in advancoof t. e election that
the House would be democratic; but they
believed that, having rendered tbe peo
ple powerless to interfere with their i,■*»
projects by packing tbo Senate againa
them, they could afford lo wait for th,
popular fury to abate. By 1882 they hoped
t7 have a stronger bold than ever on thoee

tion purposes, that the force bill would
have accomplished its purpose and aet the

to the fortunes of the Republican party.

damage of the country, and for none but

said tho same thing many times before,
yet either of them, or both of them,
would find a good deal of difficulty in
establishing the truth of his assertion be
fore an impartial judge.
What is it the Teleorahi has done
that showed its enmity to “our order?"
It does not deny that it has occasionally
rubbed Capt. Harry’s hair tho wrong
way, in tho performance of wlmt it
esteemed a public duty, but it always I
did so gently and considerately, interfer- McKinley
ing with his comfort and dignity as little
as possible. But tho Telegraph real
izes that this process could not, in it*
very nature, havo been agreeable to the
captain, and is not surprised, thertfore,
that he regards it as “bitter’’ against
him, however much mistaken he inav
be in think ng so. But the Telegraph
cannot admit that to rub Capt. Harry
is to attack the Alliance. That would
accepting somebody else’s
estimate of tho gentleman’s and tho Alli
ance’s iclatire importance.
In thesnmo way tho Telegraph has
occasionally had something to say about
CoL Livingston’s public acts which may
not have always met his hearty appro
val, bnt it has refused to attack his pri
vate character. Thero is cau60, there
fore, for CoL Livingston to bo grateful to
the Telegraph, as well as cause for him
to dislike it; but there is none for him to
charge tint tho Telegraph is tho “bitter
tnetny of < ur order,” unle;s ho rrgard
hlmto f ns the order, and mistake for
personal enmity legitimate opposition to
bis schemes.
In addition to these personsl matters,
the Telegraph opposes the sub-treasury
bill and ths ailompt to divide tho Demo
cratic party by excluding con-AHlsnce
democrats from participat oi in tho gov*
eminent of ti e state. It regards the two
projects ss ruinous mistakes loto which
Uadeis, unused to power aud unduly
elated in the possession of it, aro trying
to drag tbe organized farmers. Believ
ing this, it is the Telegraph’i* duty to
express i s opinion, and it does so, with
out any regard whatever to ths anger it
may excite lathe bosom of Capt. llsrry
and Col. Livingston, but also without
animosity toward the Alliauce, as an
order.
That the tub-treasury bill is a mistake-
s ruinous one—tho Telegraph has often
endeavored to show, and it thinks suc
cessfully. J' will not now again nrgu *
the question, tut will point the Alliance-
men who m.y misunderstand the Tel
egraph’? position to two significant
facta
First, that not one of the men whom
the peoplo of Georgia honored and trust
ed ns their represtn'atlves in congress
failed to condemn tho sub-treuury bill
as unwise, though in doing so they con-
drmned themselves, in most cases, to the
loss of their valuable officer. Were
they selfiih enemies of the farmers!
Second, that not one of tho men iu
Georgia who had won a prominent place
in j ublic life Lcfore the issuo wnB sprung
ame forward and indors'd the sub-
trcikury biU, wUliuut In tho r.wxt brent!i
Uni e t btates J-cnate. It Is also a fact
vr.-rthy cf a ,t!cc that most of th.
had long before lest ground in the race
for political preferment and sunk back
into comparative obscurity.
Judged simply by these facts, which of
the two class* * of men are tu*«l apt to
to the former’* wise and disinterested
triend*— those who dared to differ in
opinion with him at great cost to them
selves, or those who hastened to agree
with him nnd immediately asked for
high reward? Capt. Harry and Col Liv-
ingston would hove you beliova that
those who sacriflc.d themselves aro yftr
titter enemies, Tho Telegraph does
not think so,
The matter of immediate Importance,
however, on which the charge again.t
tfco Telegraph is perhaps brought, is
this paper’s opposition to the scheme of
government by Alliance caucus—or any
other kind of caucus, Tho mere state-
uirnt of this propodtion ought to be suf
ficient to condemn if, if the experience
of the first meeting of thecauciis did not.
Whatever efforts maybe made to dis
guise it, the fact remains that it is a
proposition to transfer the power of do-
ciding questions of greoteot public im-
portance from tho legislature, in o;*n
sosion before all the peoplo, to the Alli
ance, proceeding secrotly behind do ed
dojrs. This involves, of course, the ex-
clu ion of non-Alliance democrats from
effective participation in leg station, nnd
makes tho Allinnceman something dif
ferent from and superior to the demo
crat. When democrat and Al isncrman
me really different, one excluding
theothor, as if ho were an enemy, they
cannot long remain nominally tl.o same.
Bvtween them, tie Democratic party
ill inevitably Lo divided and destroyed.
We take it for granted, as a matter of
course, that the ALianco members of the
legislature as heartily de* re the
parity of tbe state and of the Democratic
party as doe* tho TeLXORaPU. Tkor# U

It soys again that government of tho
state by Alliance caucus, from which
democrats who aro not Ailiancemen are
excluded, will result in much harm to
the state, to the Democratic party, and to
the Alliance. The Telegraph dees not
desire harm to come to either, and i*
