COMMENTS BY BEMOCRATIC 'AND
REPUBLICAN PAPERS,
The Agitation For Tariff Reform Will
be Kept up Until the Robber
Taxes are Reduced.
New York World: Only a trir„
„u,i- or a traitor would advise the
Democratic party to abandon its at
tempt to reduce the war tariff be
cause it has failed to;-re-elect its
president.
Boston Herald: So far as thp
Democratic party is concerned, it
cannot give up the contest upon
which it has entered. - Sound econ
omical questions need time for their
appreciation.
Lynchburg Virginian: Tuesday’s
results amouut to this: That near
ly 0,000,000 white Democratic vo
tors were outvoted by considerably
less th an0,000,000 Repaid ican voters,
including nearly'800,000 negroes.
Philadelphia I/erord: We don t
abate one jot or tittle of our faith in
the efficiency of the policy -of the
Tariff Reform as the proper- means
of improving the condition of the
country, and for making more work,
more wages and better times.
Baltimore Sun: It is not unlike
ly that the Fiftieth Congress wilt
do little more than keep the tariff
problem open, and leave it to the
Fifty-First Congress to solve. Of
one thing there can be little doubt
— that the country is in for a long
decisive fight on economic issues.
Now York Sun: If Hill had not"
been the Democratic candidate for
Governor, Cleveland would have
been beaten by SO,Oik) votes worse
than"be is. If an Administration
candidate for Governor had been
nominated, we should have lost the
State as well as the country.
In the chief centres of thought
and intelligence, where the |ienp!e
had the fullest information, and vo
ted with tiie greatest independence
■and discretion,the President's reform
policy was sustained. K is one of
the compliments which the logic of
events pays to Grower Cleveland.—
Boston (ilolx.
That illadvieed, misguided message
against the Protaction principle in
our tariff. laws caused nearly ail that
inisclwef aijtl danger, changing into
an 'uncertain anil almost desperate
contest what should have been as
nearly a walk-over for Mr. Cleveland
us an election between the two great
parties of this country can well ad
mit. Nothing else of any controll
ing importance has Vicn issued.
Philadelphia Lnhjcr.
Any talk about sidling out of .the
National ticket by Tammany Hull is
. not only unjust but is a "willful and
deliberate misrepresentation. The
returns show that the Tammany
vote was cast straight for all the
democratic candidutes. 1 n the hou r
of his triumph Inst Tuesday night
Mr. Grant expressed deep regret at
the rumors of Cleveland's defeat and
dccared that he would rather have
been beaten a dozen times over than
heave losttho National ticket. - New
York WorUL
The country has lost the best Pres
ident it has had for many years. II
has lost him when his work was but
half done. The Democratic party
lias Ireen beaten when for the first
time since its early days it was dis
tinctly identified with a great pop
ular reform. The Republican party
has come bock into power, still dom
inated by itsmost unfit man, and
victorious through its subserviency
to a great moneyed "interest. We
shall not-make light, of such a na
tional misfortune as this.- Spring
field Republican;
Cleveland a four year of public
trust will gointo hiatory unstained
hy eitheF the crimes of the jobber
«r the waste of the profligate. In
^every departmentwithin the control
<>f the Executive, public integrity
reigned supreme. The litlibyist had
* mo chance to plv his vocation in the
•• • 1
award ol Ins contracts; neither poli
tical nor mercenary influence could
command official favor in tiro public
expenditure, and the public thief
tied from the power that he could
notapproach.- Philadelphia Timex.
Ill the precipitation of the revenue
reform issue upon the country at the
time and in the manner he (lid
making it the sole and only issue—
the President committed a serious
mistake. Not a mistake in princi
ple, perhaps, but a fatal mistake in
policy, that gave the managers of
the Republican.cftnva'ssan advantage
from the outset.—Washington Post.
IDEAS ARE MOHEyT
A half dozen of the most success
fill men were racently asked what
chance young men have to get on in
the world these days. Mr. Jav
Gould, Mr. Itnssell Sage, Mr. James
Gordon Bennett, Dr. Nurvin Green,
and Charles A. Dana said the out
look was never so good as now.
“What one quality should they
possess to succeed best?’’ vv'us asked
each.
Russell Sage replied “Caution”
Jay Gould “Perseverance;"' JJf.
Green “Hard work;" Mr. Bennett
“Enterprise;" Mr. Dana ‘'Drains."
Perhaps Air. Joseph Pulitzer of
the II'or!'/, summed it up m the
new way:
"My “(tear sir”“~he said to an ap
plicant for the position on the

“Anything" was the cheerful re

“Yes" hut you must certainly be

other.”
“Oh, yes was the response, "1

am fertile in ideas.”
“Oil, war: Mr. Pulitzer's reply,
“fertile in ideas.” And be drew
bis chair up close to bis visitor and
peered anxious into bis fane.
“Then you are just the man 1 want.
Mow many good ideas have von ly
ing around loose that 1 could .dilize
in increasing the circulation of the
World?"
“Oh, I could give you twenty,"
was the calm rejoinder.
"Twenty,' said Air. Pulitzer in
“ Yes sir, twenty.”'

“J will pay yon $100 a week for a

the ollh'e either, f es. I'll do more,
I'll buy you a tine pair of horses so
Hint, vou can drive around town and
enjoy yourself in the park. Your
fortune is made if you does you
say."
The young man did send in his
ideas carefully written out, and they
were promptly returned-'to him as
worthless. Instead of ■ riding
through the park in a luxurious
coach he is holding down a chair
in Uowery cheap lodging house.

ROGER q. MILLS ON THE RESULT.
He Says Tariff Reform Will Remain
| the Democratic Watch Word.
CoTiHif'A\>, Tex. Nov. !Hli.— Con
gressman Mills, though disappoint
ed, is not discoursed. When asked:
“To what do you attribute the de
feat of Cleveland in New Wok?”
he said: "To trades and deals be
tween the friend:', of idle Mdtyorality
I candidates in New.. York and the Ke
!publicans. You:« the};_ are mote
[.interested in factional success in
[New York city than in the success
[of the National Democracy. I have
no donM that the friends of Hill,
ffowitt and Grant traded off Cleve
land; if not, why should iidl! run so
uiC'di alleail of h'levekin] in New;

greatest, opposition to Jl.il existed
|in New York, and d: is no secret
jthat Hill* expected to ran iO.tit-n
| votes behind Cleve.iiuid in New York
icily, yet instead. Hill is several
[thousand ahead of Cleveland. mak
ing it conclusive to my mind that
■ the President was- traded off on a
i large scale.”
