Change of Sentiment.
LINCOLN. N-:i., Nov. 8.-The elec'
tions of 1897 Indicate dissatisfactios
with Republican policies, and presag1
t.ho overthrow of the Republican party
They also indicate that, the bolt ng
Democrats cannot long maintain a sep
arate organization, and must cither go
over to the Republicans or return to
the regular Democratic party and ac
cept the platform adopted in Chicago
in 1896.
In the home of the president, as well
as the home of Mr. Hanna, chairman of
the Riepublican national committee,
the Republican majority was almost re.
luced one-half, and the legislaturo 'i
close. Certainly in Ohio, if apywhere
Republicans might have expected to
hold their own, but instead of doing sO
they have shown a distinct loss, In spite
of the fact that they had an abundance
of money for campaign purposes, and
an organization as complete as last
year, together with the intertsted aid
of those who have rceolved ollice at the
hands of the administration, or expect
ollico.
TIlE RESULT IN KENTUCHY.
In Kentucky the Democrty ,carried
the Stat, by about 20 000,'and secured
a good working majority in the legisla
ture, notwitnestanding the efforts put
forth by the Republicans and gold
Democrats. .
In Iowa the Republican majority wlis
cut down almost one-half, and large
Demnocratic gains were made in the
legislature, notwithstanding the fact
that a heavy vote was polled for an off
year. In 'ennsylvainia and M as:chu
setts the Republican majorities were
largely reduced. In Vi rg inia the )em
ocrats made decided gains on the State
ticket and in the legislature. In Nee
braska the fusion plurality will exceed
my plurality of last year, notwithstand
ing a cotsiderable decret s: in the total
vote. The pcercentage of votes cast by
the silver forces in Nebraska is greater
than c ver before.
In the states above mentioned, name
ly, Oio, Kentucky, lowa, Pennsylva
nia, Massachusetts, Virginia and Ne
braska, the ) :mocrato reallirm the po
sitions taken in the Chicago platform,
and in-each of these States the Retuub
licans discu!sed national issues and
pointed out that Democratic gain was
strengthening the Chicago platform.
We have a right, therefore, to claim
the ,politieal ai vantages which they
foresaw and tricd Ito pre(vent.
WHiAT NEW YORK 1.
In New York toe Ieinocrutic gains
were so great that the Detmaot ruti-ecan
didate for judge of the court of appeals
overcame the enormous majority of last
year, and was elected by over 50,000
majority. The Dc!mocrats also made

The smuall vote polled by the gold
Democrats last year was e.plained by
the assertion that most 'tf the gold
Democrats voted the Republican tick
et, but this year in several states spe
cial cl'ort was made by.tho gold Dem
ocraty to poll a large vote in order to
give their party a--statiling in public
estimation. This was especially t.uc
in Nebraska,..Iowa, Kentucky and )1as
sachusetts. Ex-Sccretary J. Steliinlg
Morton made a speech at the state con
vention of the gold Democrat's, in
w hich he asserted thlat, therie had be -n
a large increase In his pa)rty's-st,rengtA

Tneo returns are not complete, but

"iLt Congressman ~Grosvenor, the sta

publican party had only prolfisd to
restore protection, which was alle ged
to be the foundat,ion of prosperity. -e

The tariff bill has now been in opera

Riepubilican leaders and lI-publican

which they do not like, merely because
the financiers of England want the
gold standard. Can. the It3publi
can party carry over to the gold
standard all those who believed
in international bimetallism last year?
Surely not. Not content with forcing
upon the American lpeople against
their will a financial system which
oermits the financial magnate of
l0urope to contiol our primary money,
the lt"publicau party is now preparing
to turn over the paper money of the
United States to the national banks.
Mr. McKinley, in recommllendiug the
appointment of a commission to reform
the durreney, referred with approval
to the Indianapolis conference, and
thv - committee appointed by the In
dianapolis conference is now at work
prep'ring a plan for the retirement of
groonbacks and treaury notes. The
last t-publican platform did not do
clare In favor of retiring the green
backs; neither did Mr. Mekinley in
his letter of acceptance. On the con
trary. he expressedly declared that
the it 'publican party would keep in
circulation as good as gold all the pa
pwr and silver money then included
in the currency of the country.
If. as now seems probable, the lt"-pub
lican party is about to attempt the re
tireinent of all government paper, will
it not alienate those it.'pblicns who
still regard the greenback as safe and
useful curreney.?
The opposition to the trusts is grow
ing stronger every day, and the Re
publican party is impotent to extermi
nate them because it receives financial
sirpport from them. Therefore, it
must be expected to lose votes among
those who helloieo the modern trust to
bei a menace to the industries as well
as to the policies of the U1nito'd States.
T1Il HEPUIIIAlCAN 1l{OG(RAM.
The last Denmocratic platform oppos
ed government, by injunction. Events
have brought this subject into still
g'reater prominence since the election,
iind few Itlepublieans will openly de
fand government by injunction. Will
th(i Itepublicanu party indorse that,
plank in the Chicago platform and
carry it into execution, or will it, by
ignoring the subject, alienate those
.who believe in trial by jury?
The Democrats in their last national
platform favored the arbitration of
di lfrences between carrirs engaged
in Interstate coIIImercOO and their ein
'ployes. The It -publicans organized
scound( money railroad clubs4 among
their employes. If they continue to
ignore the arbitration question, can
they expect the support of railroad
employes in the fut l-.?
The lit.'lpublicanl program now em
braces thrce pernicious doctrines:
I. P'reign control of our primary
loncy.
2. National bank control of our pa
per mloncey.
3 Tru,t control of the taxing power.
