Now his constituents have criticized him, and in the late election he didn’t have influence enough to carry his own town for his friends, let alone his own state, Petty was too petty to live, and his living for the past few years was totally :uperfluous. THE GREAT KENTUCKY CRIME. THE GOEBEL LAW is responsible for keeping young Mr. Beck- ham in the chair of the governor of Kentucky, which was won by W.S. Taylor at a previous election and which now belongs to John W. Yerkes. The Republicans make no contest, though there is no possible doubt of the fraudulency of the vote claimed by Beckham, feeling that there is no such thing as justice for them by iaw or otherwise, and the time employed would be thrown away. The Democracy have set the pace of the villainy and are too much encouraged by their success thus far to have any respect for justice or restitution, It is a great crime and they will stick to it; but for Mr. Beckham there will be no further advancement in this world. TREASON TO SETH LOW. M®- PLATT will not hear of Mr. Coler as a fusion candidate for mayor of this town because he isn’t Seth Low. And Mr, Platt is right—he is funny, but right. To talk of anybody but Seth Low for the place at the hands of fusionists is treason. Mr. Low is the original and only Jacobs, and will continue to be without end. If he should die the fusionists would have to run his memory or his ghost. It makes no difference whether he is nominated before the Republicans nomi- nate or not, he is the man. He has run as a sacrificial candidate often enough—he must now run for election. What! anybody but Low for that place? Why, that is absurd. That is worse than robbing Joseph of his coat of colors or stealing the peacock’s feather of Mr. Chang. Let us merely hope that it won't be done so early as to lead to the sus- picion that he is nominated to run for the recent election. ight in iy and S : THE BOY THAT DID THE BUSINESS. —From the Denver Evening Post. ats strictly to {te sankful for the Gelightrut ¢ consoling thoughts let us not tu ado he might have even taken that away «ser hand it may be explained that there was also a. WHAT WON THE CAMPAIGN. HERE MAY BE MANY REASONS assigned for the overwhelming defeat of the Democrats in yesterday's national election, but the most potent one of all was the prosperity, genuine or otherwise, which prevails throughout the country, particularly in the agricultural dtstricts. Bryan appealed to the sentiment, the patriotism and the intelligence of the American people, and lost; Hanna, infinitely shrewder in his way, appealed to their bellies. and won. “Argument,” he sald in one of his speeches; “we need no argument but the full dinner pail.” In our moments of exaltation we are apt to consider such an appeal as low and groveling, and doubtless it 1s, but this campaign has demonstrated that no other argument has had anything like the same effective ness. If a class or @ community ts prosperous; if it has not merely the full dinner pail but ts laying aside a few dollars, that community {s very ilkely to look with disfavor upon any suggestion of change, no matter bow strong theoretically the arguments in its favor. If tho people have made money under the administration it may be pointed out that the conditions which rendered i possfble were purely artificial, that if it hadn't been for our war with Spain and England's war in Routh Africa tho producers could not possibly have shared with the trusts in thé rise in prices, yet to all of this is returned the practical, hardheaded reply “All we know is we aro prosperous; why, we don't care. We are getting a little ahead th the world; we have paid off our mortgage and we'd rather stick to what we've got than to take chances with something we know nothing about.’’ This ts tho full dinner pall argument which was made with such fearful effect; it ts the full dinner pall, yet it 1s something more—something that em- braces the. whole material prosperity of the people. In the domain of legitimate argument the Republicans hadn't a leg to stand on; the trusta, militarism, tm- perialism, the government's broken faith with Porto Rico and the Philippines, all of these would and should have had « material effect on the. election in an ordinary campaign, but none of them proved of any consequence alongside the| fulf dinner pail. “Yo that great slogan of the campaign the Republican bandmasters may well play “Hail to the Chief!" for it has landed them once again in office by @ pla- rality as phenomenal as it was unexpected to most of us BRYAN.
