The Triliuno acknowledges with
pleasure the numerous ruiiipliineiits be
stowed upon It for the excellence) of Its
three ejitlons C I'liTlion news yestor
day, nml Ih'ks simply to suy that at a
future day it will do the same tiling
over again.
Looking Ahead.
We rmit-t confess, that wti have, some
ruiloslty to kiunv wlint tho future of
the two wlnsa of the UeniuiTatio party
will be. It in clear unless hIriih deceive
that Tuemlay'tj vote split tfiat party
Irreconcilably asunder. We know that
tho Deiiieirrali.' party is an elastic or
Raniiiatleii vvttii'li ImiK after Its useful
ness seemed t bat e ileparted mauaijctl
somehow to ltei a hold on life ur.d
at times to wax stronK. Hut never
before in lis history, no far as we are
familiar with It. was there a situation
parallel to the one which confronts it
today. Will It fall to survive ;H pres
ent anomalous condition or will It
slump for the future into lVpulisin and
make way for a suristaiitlally new
political Btrui'ture upon its furnier
foundations?
Definite answers to these (inestlons
cannot yet be forthcoming. We shall
have t: await iV'Velopmcnts for a
time before spiakiiiK with confidence
en this p. ilnt. Mat there is one pnrticu
liir coneeriiin which we are more free
to piMpln sy; nnd that is as t the con
tinuance of tiie agitation symViolized
by Mr. Tirynn. Ot:r leading of tho
Flpns Is that that limitation will not
pause. It may cast nlie.rl for si;ne
new catch-wordd when by to make a
further appeal to the fancy oi' einu
tlnnul I'ers.uis who are not stiiing on
careful thl'ikliiK. but we should cjii
El.ler it false nerurlly on tho pnrt of
the ncimbllcun parly if it were to Im
r.eiine that Its xtrlkinK triumph of
Tuesday was more tli-m the beginning
of a period of unusual re.spiiiisii'i'lty
made still move prove by the possibili
ties latent In this self sair.o unrest.
The Uepubliean party has won a
noble victory nml wo are nil glad. Hut
In our hour of triumph let us be pres
cient and prudent. Let us frankly con
fess to ourselves nnd fashion our ac
tions to the lessons of that ronf sisuii
that unless we prove eiial to the new
obligation and responsibilities which
that victory can Id with it, the next
quadrennial election, instead of lirinK
Inir n result p.guln luploto with Jubila
tion, nay carry one full of mortifica
tion nrd chagrin. For llu morrow let
us look to It that no step shall be taken
In the direction of rIvIiir the semblance
of justice; to Die cry of the Populist that
this Is a victory of the capitalist and
corporate c lasses. While the Itepubllian
petty must not rail at honest cnter
pilse nor join In any maudlin move
ment for the ctuclllxlon of thrift and
success. It must not on the other hand
forijet that there can be abuses of
privilege nnd ilb pal aRRivsslon anions
tin.' rich no less than .imoiiR the turbu
lent and discontented classes of the
poor.
We wish especially to have It rem
embered that while there are Altselds
and Tillmans nnd Bryans who deserve
censure because of their appeals to
the coarser nnd laser ir.slinets of the
mob, there are not less culpib c nian
nsers of ureat Institutions and much
lauded captains of industry and
enterprise who do their share, ton, to
ward the creation of class prejudices
when they barter for special legislative,
favors or prostitute their high inllti
ences to Ignoble and Illicit ends. Tho
men who bribe councils, corrupt legis
lators, and even go so far at times
os to lay the hand of venality upon the
spotless ermine of the courts are not
all followers of Ihyan; and while we
rejoice In the defeat of the latter and
think it highly deserved, let us not be
betrayed Into too Intimate partnership
in the Iniquities of the former nor
et in EU.h relation hips with th m
that it will be difficult to enforce tho
law on the big criminals as well as
upon the little.
The confidence which we have In the
strong moral fibre of the great ma
jority of those who constitute the mem
bership of the Republican party leads
us to trust It without hesitancy or
reserve. We do not believe that It has
entered into any dark alliances or that
It will swerve from the line of future
duty. The millions of honest and
thoughtful men who are behind It; tha
personal worth and unsullied character
of Its new standard bearer, the emin
ent leaders who guide and guard Its
destinies will not let it go astray. Kut
we want it to feel that It will soon have
something mote serious to think of
and to prepare for than the acclam
atory celebration of victory at the
polls, and we hope to see It get ready
for its coming trials in the spirit which
Imparts hope and confidence.'
I Chairman Jennings, as a political
I prognostlcator, seems to have been
verjf much out of practice. ;'
A pleasing feature of the many com
pliments showered upon the Tribune's
midnight election edition is the assur
ance that the people of the Lackawanna
valley are ever wide-awake and quick
to recognize enterprise. They Evident
ly fully appreciated tho efforts of The
Tribune management to give them a
most complete and accurals: news ser
vice. '
It Is not necessary to Inform the
voters of Lackawanna county of the
political astuteness of John H. Thomas,
but the splendid recent vindication of
his work us county chairman deserves
ut hast ti brief compliment. He has
our congratulations.
A Wonderful Campaign.
The campaign just closed, rays the
Chicago Times-Ilerai l, will pass into
history as the most remarkable polit
ical eont. st in the annuls of the repub
lic. The post-bellum campaigns may
line been marked with more pyrotech
nics, more torchlight processions, and
more martial music, but no previous
campaign ever nppealed with such
forceful directness and power to reason
and popular intelligence. That the
campaign on tho part of the round
money advocates was predicated upon
a sublime confidence In the patriotism
and Intelligence of I lit? people w as at
tested by the distribution, ut enormous
expense, of millions of leaflets and
pamphlets on the currency question. H
must always be said to the everlasting
honor of tho adherents of Major Mc
Kinley that the;- staked their hope of
victory on the proper presentation of
their cause to the reading mass, s of tho
country; that they appealed o reason
Instend of prejudice, to patriotism in
stead of stupidity.
It Is an augury of a hopeful and hap
py era In Anierienn politics when the
managers of a great pn.rty decide to
invade the homes Vf thirteen million
voters through the agency of the print
ing press. It Is a cheering nnd uplift
ing portent of more rational political
methods when n great pc.rty champions
issues thf.t can be safely Intrusted to
the critical analysis of cliarp logicians
and the keen scrutiny of clever schol
ars and recondite historians. These are
the tests which the Republicans have
met. They have challenged the schol
nis, the financiers, the men of the
mnrket -place and the toilers. Their
defences have been Impregnable.
Not the I. 'list remarkable features of
the great battle of 'SMS which will make
it memorable in the history of our pol
itics rue the speech-making records of
the two leading candidates. Kaoh Ins
conducted a campaign without parallel
In any previous conte st. From his own
dooryard In Canton Major McKinley
has addressed visiting delegations from
every section of the country, number
ing thousands of voters nnd represent
ing nearly every form of productive In
dustry. These visitations have been
continuous nnd uninterrupted, some
times numbering as many as twenty
four speeches in one day. To each del
egation Major McKinley lias had some
thing to say. To each lie has made a
masterly appeal, constructed with spe
cial reference to tile needs nnd Inter
ests of the Industry lvpivaontod. His
never-falling response to this dally ex
action has furnished nn astounding
revelation of tl remarkable resources
of the man. lileh In historical allusion,
abounding In sparking metaphor, preg
nant with solid and unassailable logic,
defended by statistics of high author
ity, his appeals stand unmatched In
the history eif American campaign ora
tory for fn till less rhetoric or for lofty
and dignified argumentation. Mr.
Uryan's rear-platform speech-waking
tour, in which lie mnde over fi'iT ad
dresses in twenty-nine different states,
traveling thousands of miles, furnished
nn exhibition of mnrvedous physical
endurance unprecedented In the cam
paigns of this country.
It has been a wonderful campaign
wonderful for the intense ze'ttl of the
plain people, wonderful for tho active
participation of the business nnd pro
fessional classes, wonderful for its
peaceful arbitrament of n front econ
omic controversy Involving tho welfare
of 70,000,010 people.
It Is probable that on March 4 Chair
man Jone s may be persuaded to concede
McKinley s election by a small plural
ity. What Others Think.
Philadelphia I'ress: How this match
less victory lightens nnd lifts tho
American hi'art! How It rifts all tlvi
hanging clouds and floods the ceiuntry
with the golde-n sunshine of hep., and
promise! lle.w, above all. It justifies faith
in American Intelligence and Integ
rity, and reaffirms the capacity of th
American people for self-government.
It Is the best blow for free Institutions
which has been struck since Gettys
burg and Appomuttox. It Is a majes
tic uplifting of true American spirit
for true American principles and a
true American lender. firanil ns
Is this national assertion, William Mc
Kinley is eminently worthy to be its
representative. 1'iiro, noble, heroic, a
lofty patriot nml a wise statesman,
rising nnd broadening with the great
responsibility, a man of the people and
conspicuously the people's man, his
dignified bearing, his unerring words,
and his enkindling leadership In this
unexampled campaign have endeare:!
him to his countrymen. He is equal
to the great trust.
Philadelphia Times: The election of
McKinley Is not a partisan triumph.
True, he Is a P.epubllcan; an earne-it.
unfaltering Uepubliean. The admin
istration will be cTIstlnclively Uepubli
ean; his patronage will be awarded
to his Republican friends; but above
all, he will stand firm ns a rock In the
cxecutlpn of the Imperious mandate i f
the nation to maintain its Integrity,
its dignity. Its liojior and Its match
less advancement. While the trlumi h
carries with It all that is Involved In
a Republican victory, it is metre distinct
ly a victory of the patriotic people of
oil parties of the nation over elements
which have impaired our credit, p unl
yzed our Industries, brought stagna
tion upein our commerce nnd traiie,
mnde capital retire from active enter
prise, nnd Fought to sow the di agon's
teeth of sectional and class hatred
among the people, who have over
whelmingly declared for a common
brotherhood.
Pittsburg Times: -Every art of the
demagogue, every argument of the
knave, every appeal to prejudice, every
Incitement to hnte, every effort to ar
ray the poor against the rich, have been
used in this campaign. If for a time
there may have been signs of waver
ing; if, for even a brief space, there was
room for doubt or fear as to the result.
It needed but an honest appeal to the
'
conscience and common sense of tho
American people to dispel doubt anel
banish every fear. Reason, Judgment,
honor, all came to the rescue, and the
victory Is so overwhelming as to be de
cisive. Yesterday's victory Is not mere
ly a triumph for the Republican pirty
anel Its glorious lender, William Mc
Kinley, of (ihio. it Is the1 triumph of
the American people. It is the crown
ing vindication of free institutions,
based ulone upon the people's will, and
founded on faith In their honor, honesty
and patriotism.
Philadelphia Record: Business will
now be resumed. Kvery dollar In cir
culation will have behind it the pledge
of the ballot. Credit will creep out of
Its skulking places, and confidence will
sprer.d over the land like sunshine,
making all things smile again.
Washington Post: The vote which
elected Mr. McKinley was the "silent
vette" of which we have heard so much
during toe past few weeks nnd ns to
which the party managers have been
so utterly bewildered. It was the vot,?
of the thinkers, the quiet, path nt work
ers, the yeomanry, the bone anel sinew
of the land-the vote of sturdy men
who wanted nothing of parties or poli
tielans, who answered the prompting
c f their ow n consciences without exter
nal old. who thought of the ir country
jlrst and of themselves afterward. No
ooiiiinlttev's, no spell-binders, no party
henchmen framed their views. They
decided In the silence of their thoughts,
and they voted ns they would have ful
lille d a solemn vow.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle:
The nppeal was to the people. The peo
ple have .spoken. Theb- vetlee Is heard,
strong anel true, keyed to the deep, rich
notes of manhood, of honor, of patriot
ism nnd of loyalty to the etctn:l prin
ciple's of righteousness. Again In a su
preme" crisis the American i'plo have
proved themselves true to the sublime
and sacred trust of self-go veriiii'.ent.
If the esteemed Wilkes-Havre 1 record
bad used the summary of I.aedcawanna
results sent to It by this paper it woubl
nett have fallen Into the error of con
ceding the e lection of Koedder and La
ltar, nttr of estimating McKinley's plur
ality at only l.r.OO. The lesson of Its
mistake is obvious.
Four Promising Legislators.
(Hie of the most gratifying features
of the recent election from n local
standpednt was the choice of n solid
Republican del.'catlon to llarrlsburg.
Now that the campaign hurrah is over,
it might be well for those voters who
loo!; nt such sub.1e.cls seriously tei re
flect feu- a moment upon the impeir-tanec-
of the work which has to be done
at llarrlsburg and upon the equal im
peirtanee of keeping ns representatives
there men who are especially well epial
llloel to elo it.
The political sediditicat Ion of the last
delcgatit.n at the state; capital gave It
a recognition net previously accorded
to a ebde'satlem from Lnckawnna
county, nnd the same degree of Inllu
I'lice, If not more, may be expected te
be wielded by It next winter. We do
not nrsue that the state of politics
which measures a legislator's useful
ness to a large degivo by his partisan
affiliations is Meal at all; but It is the
fae't w hlch has to be taken Into account
nt Ibirrlsburg If a community would
receive satisfactory attention there,
and while' this Is true'. Lncka wanna
reunify eleie-s well to si'c that her legisla
tive Interests are as ably and effective
ly cnroil for ns are those of any other
county In the c mimon-venlih.
We have nei doubt whatever that In
Messrs. Fa rr, Cemnedl, Mackey anil
Re ynedils this county will enjoy a rep
resentation ninnnff tho very foremost
nt the state capital. This Is not salil
for campaign effe ct. The need for that
lias passed. It Is a simple deduction
from tho past good records of three of
these gentler.ie'n eltiring prior terms of
service and from the fright promise of
the fourth. Tudor the clrciiinstnnces tho
people of Lackawanna ought to feel on
excellent terms with themselves over
the outcome of Tuesday's balloting, no
matter from what standpoint they
scrutinize the result.
No one will begrudge Mr. P.rynn the
few crumbs of comfort which are falling
to his feet ns the later returns come In.
His defeat Is still impressive enough to
make for national confidence and pros
perity. In view of the results rcc.Ttly Indi
cated by sb reoptienn bulletins, searedi
llghts and press dispatches, tho presi
dent's Thanksgiving proclamation to
day seems singularly appropriate.
From spring to fall in 'OG seems to
have been a far step in Scranton pol

unnaturally) a step in the right direc
