None tbe less remarkable is the Republican loss. Mr.

MoKinley's majority in W.K was Tne Republican candidate for State Treasurer has now majority of l-CISt over his Democratic competitor, but there is a Prohibition, auti boss and independent vote of ao that the Lepubii-cans are actually in a minority. In Ohio Mr llanna now clairrjs a majority five iq tbe State Legislature, where the undisputed Kepurilicnr majority last year was S7. Rut there are contested seata the courts have to decifio, and Mr. Henna's election to the United States Senate is far from certain. The best piece of work the Republicans have done is in Maryland, wbero, though their popular vote and strength io tbe State Legislature have both fallen olf, they retain a small legislative majority, and will elect a Republican to tbe United fatalns Senate, in place of Mr.

Gorman, the craftiest leader the Silver-ites hud in that body. It is when the net losaes of the Re-pulicans are summed up that tbe ex tent of their disaster really appears. Out of the 45 States of the Union elec tions were held iat weak in 11, and those 13 States have more than wiped out Mr. McKinley'a popular majority of New York and Peonsylvanin SN SHTK of the inclement weather many buyers wended their way to this Record-breaking, Price-paralyzing, Sensational Sale of Ours, and every individual who calls at this store at present, ts agreeably surprised to find the most desirable things at next-to-nothing prices, A very mild season has caused the sale of Heavy Ulsters for Men and Boys to be backward in the extreme. We have carried a very large stock of these and are therefore obliged to get rid of them at prices that would practically be your own.

If, therefore, it be true that tbe failure to reform the currency has brought Ioms upon tbe Republican party, bow tuuub reason is there to suppose that it will do anything to recovor tho support it has alienated? It Is not to tin forgotten that a strung detachment of bilverites are encamped within the Republican lines.

Tbe five Senatora who rend themselves out of the party left comrades behind whom the party leaders wbdi to kenp. Kvery step toward current reform tends to alienate them and impuriis tbe Uepubliean ax-nendency in some of the Western States. The l'reaident has by no means shown himself in favor of hernia measures on the currency or anything else, tarifl excepted. How then is the independent vote to be recovered?

1 uciatisf.ctorr, though to keen obtorrern it can buuiy be aurprisini, that already, barely 11 months after VJr. McKinley'a triumphant lction to tbe l'riBioncy of tun I'oitecJ States as the champion of "sound biocot," there phoulil bn unmistaicahla iiiqns, as our New Vork correspondent teila ua, of tbe preadiajr of tha aitver agitation. Though the exultation of the fictorious party orer the defeat of Air. Liryao in was Datura! and legitimate, lions who were not enpased in tho struggle were unabld to slur the coofideuce of the conquerors in the permanence and completeness of the victory. It was pointed out in these columns on the morrow of th battle that it was no partisan or sectional triumph, and that if it were treated as such the inerita-ble result would be to paraiyzn the influence of the "sound money" Pesno-eraia, and to drire the rank and file of tbe party into the camp over which the liryaoite standard of Silrerism and Hocialipin has been bointnd.

The Dingily tariff and the croeial course of Mr. administratiou showed very ooa that the Republican wirepullers Lad co notion of paying the smallest attention to the wishes or the interests of their Democratic allies in th cam pain against L'ryaniam. The reaction wbicb was displayed at the fall elections a couple of months stro wg, ba-yond all rapid and decided, and the success of Tammany in the iirpt contest for the control of "(Jreater Ne Vork" is of eTiTomuD for the Uepubii-can cause. Tn the coming autumu the opposing parties wili finht not only for riorainion nter tbo IocrI jforerntnents of the most important States of the Union, but for the command of a now Concrwa which will have legislation absolutely in its bands during the second half of Mr. jMcKinley'a rresiuential term.

In the opinion of our cnrreitpondent the outlook is rcry far from cbeerinc. Tho account which be gives this morning of the political position ia the natural development of the view taken by him in two letters written immediately after the November elections, which we print elpwr'ere, No result is to he ant icipated froiu toe renewal of the campaign by Mr. Cryan nt Chicago, from the fren silver coinage debate in the Senate, or from the conference of tee "friurU of silver, Ilemocratie end Republican, that has just been held at Washington. It is not imagined on either side that anything can or will be done in fsror of silver in the rrent Uoncress, but the Democrats are beina rapidly organized as an exclusively pro-silver partr in preparation for the critical struggle a few mcntbe hence. Two leading facta are apparent as the result of tbo fall elections.

The Democrats, who were divided in the campaign of are now, for all practical purposes, united, while the Kepcbli-cans, who rould then boast of their unity and rtrengtn, are at present visibly weakened by a process of disintegration which, it may be feared, will po far. It "as hoped that, after the defeat of Jlr. liryan, the Democratic party would rally to the able men who refused to associate them-peltes with Silrerisai and Socialism, but the tendency has been all the other way. The "sound money" Democrats have been squeezed out of the management of tee party organization, and the wirepullers have hastened everywhere to joio nanus with the Populists. The Republican phalanx, at the fwme time, has been broken up, mainly owing to the temporizing attitude of Mr.

McKinley' administration on tho currency question. While, credit was claimed for the administration nn the ground "that the toecretary of the Treasury, Mr. Lyman Gage, was a capablo financier and a resolute opponent of attempts to meet public obligations with a depreciated coinaee rr paper issues not based upon a goid standard, the President used ambiguous lacquage calculated to buoy up the hopes of tcoae of his party who were identilieJ with a policy of "doing sometoing for silver." The failure of Senator Wolcott's mission to this country was a bitter disappointment tbet-e politicians, though not, probably, to the out and-out siiverite. Mr. liryao.

for instance, and the whole body of the Democratic party organization, which baa now pricticaliy arrayed itself under his standard, care Dcthing, as our currepjiondent says, about international bimetallism, except by way of taunting I'resident McKinley with his failure to fulfil bis pledges and with bis obvious lack of faith in a gold currency basis. Tho breakdowo of these opportunist projectB of the President snd the unwillingness of the Kepubhcan majority in Congress to eupport tie currency raeasjres, either of Mr. ilcKialey or of hia more logical and well-informed fciecretary of the Treasury, become more S'irioua when there are unuiistakaMe signs of division and defection in the Republican camp. Fire Republican be oa tor a have already openly renounced their allegiance to their party, because they have failed to convert it" to Silver-ism, and others are threatening to follow them. It is evident that this movement ib connected with the heavy losses wbicii the Ke publicans sustained in the fail elections, and which have wiped out the President's "popular majority," though the contssts weie not, except in one or two instances on the ecale of those which will decided next autumn.

It cannot be that the forces which defeated Lryanism in 1S0G have been wholly shattered and annulled by a aeries of tactical errors; but an immense advantage has certainly been given to the anarchical and predatory tendencies that Lave recently become so formidable in American society, by the disorganization of the Republican party and the incapacity of the "kound ninoey" men to retain any controlling authority among the Democrats. It is clear that there wiil be a desperate tight a few months hence, to be renewed at the next contest for the Pres-dunry in 1300, over the same istuea that ware supposed to be kettled by the electing of Mr. McKinley. Though business condition are favorable, there ia much in the situation, apart from the currency, that is disquieting. The Dmgley tariff baa hitherto disappointed the hopes vl Us authors, and a deficit of forty millions of dollars for the current fiscal year is an unpleasant fact to face.

It must be remembered that it ia cot always when trade and industry are suffering must aererely that discontent ia meet dangerous. The bitterness with which capital is denounced in the United States has probably little to do with the cry which ia raised, at the same time. In favor of the right to pay public and private debts in a cheaper currency than gold. Hut Socialism and bilrerism find do diHi-cuity in working band in band, and it cannot be denied that they form a very menacing combination now that the icllueaco of men of business Las been practically nullified in tho one political party and to a large eitect nevHral-ized by the disorganization of the other.

It might be supposed that the effect of this political overturn, with its grave menace to business interests, wonld bo felt first and mest strongly in New York City, tbe business centre of the United States, Jiut, one reason or another. New York aeeme-j doubtful of tbe true meaning of it all.

Ttiere was a fall in stocks the day following the election, but it was sliirtiL it was, however, tbe election which ho undermined tbe contideoce of tbe financial world aa to prrpireths war for the crash which came three days later, of which a Cuban war scare was alleged as the direct cause. That scare gave the bears tbe opportunity tbey bad waited for and conspired tn create. Any pretext, any stale rumor was good enough when men's minus were unsettled and the market nervous. Kven then, perhaps, Now York waa thinking more of herself than of the country. Here, aa abroad, the municipal contebt almost mnuopolized attention, and there was quite enough io tbe victory of Tammany to justify gloomy views.

Tammany has got possession of the city. She means to keep possession. Rut her influence extends far beyond the limits of this enlarged municipality. She is a great power in New York State as well aa in New York City; and New York State ia the foremost in thn Union. She elects a Governor and Legislature and a full delegation to Congress next year.

If, aa Tammany now believes, the majority of last year for the present Republican Governor a majority of 213,000 votes can be reversed, there ia no limit to tbe possibilities of the Democratic future all over the country. It is problematical, of course, and it if very early to begin prophesying, but what is certain is that Tammany never waa so strong as now, never so securely intrenched, and never led with greater skill or a more total absence of political ecruple, The suggestion of a new disturbance three years hence over the silver question, says one of their chief organs, ia natural, but not well considered. And it traces the preeent decrees in tbe Republican vote to the defection of tbe large independent vote which was Republican in 1S93 solely because they who cast it expected thus to make the gold basis of the currency secure. They have now abandoned that party from resentment at the failure of the administration to redeem its electoral pledgea That statement assumes a great deal too muc Currency was Dot tne only cause which led tbe independent citizen to euDport Mr. McKinley.

The Socialism of the Chicago platform probably sent more independents aaJ Democrats over to Republicanism itian bilverism, Rut, grant that currency was the sole reason why the independent voie went to Mr. McKinley, and that disappointment about currency reform ia tbe sola or main reason for tbe present diminution of the Republican strength, that does not improve the prospect. To improve the political probabilities of the Republican future you must be able to show that this independent vote is likely to return. Why should it return? What rsaeon is there to suppose In the olden times, Tih vsiriai'S arrottntrd wiee, searched vainly for tb? Eliiir of Life, or the tnowledee whereby life migbt be prolonged.

it is anything but au oft year for municipal purposes. It may be understood further, with a view to avoid over-estimating tbe significance of the present elections, that a reaction is common after a Presidential contest. The reaction is apt to be even more marked in tbe second year than in tbe first, eo much so that it is almost an axiom in American politics that ao administration must expect to confront during tbe second and last two years of its tgnure a hostile House of Representatives.

New York and Droulslyn then separate, cow united together polled for President, in lsiJli, votes, and for Judge of Appeals, io 1S.7, 43.3,149, a decrease of only 43, GO votes.

All tbe State 1 have named as showing beary Democratic gains are great States, and of great political importance. They represent the Kast, the Northwest, the South. There are others, like tiiutb Dakota an insignificant commonwealth where tbe Republicans have done better, and in Maryland they defeat Senator Gorman; but there i nothing to balance these tremendous Republican losses in States which may be taken to indicate fairly the movement 'of opinion throughout the country. Yet Mr. McKinley is pleaSMij.

Mr. Bryan also is pleased. He declared on tbe day after tb elections that "the sentiment in favor of t'je Chicago platform shows a healthy growth throughout the country." Healthy or not, it is hard to deny that there is a growth. Mr. Lryan adds: Perhaps our opponents will now admit that silver is not dead.

Tbe attempt to secure international bimetallism has proved a failure, and it is now more apparent than ever that the people of the United States must legislate for on the financial question. Free and unlimited coinage at 11 to 1 is nearer cow than it waa a year ago. 1 am aurry to say I think Mr. Bryan's estimate of tbe result and probable influence of these elections nearer right than 21t. McKiniey'a.

It was thouzht possible, and perhaps it is still possible, that the Democracy might reunite in opposition to tbe I'ingley tariff, and ho, eiokiog tbe Siiverite a at least for the time, appeal io the country to ralease itaelf from tbe bouda and burdens of a spurious protection, and get hack to a rational tariff, if not to a tariff for revenue only. Rut tariff is, after all. io the presence of Socialism aDd Silver-ism, a minor issuv. It does not belong tocaucuBts or conventions to determine tbe issues on wbicb an election shall beheld, if the people are thinking about silver, they wiij vote about silver and cot about the tariff. Still more readily wiil they put the tariff aside if great roaNeea are so deluded, by designing leaders and by a propaganda which never rests, as to believe that a reconstruction of society or a redistribution of wealth in tbe interests of the poorer classes has become possible.

And tbe germ or all that ia to be found io last year's Chicago platform. That is why all these signs of Democratic reaction are s) serious. It is not at all probable that either the Democratic successes of the moment or tbe prevailing Republican lethargy are due to any distinct purpose connecting itself with Rut the tendency and influence are much tbe same as if these multitudes of changing or idle votera had thought the matter out clearly for themselves. Making every allowance for tha natural awing of the pendulum after such a year as the effect of tbe elections is to encourage and strengthen the Populism which masquerades as Democracy.

8. The force of the Democratic reaction in tbe elections might have been stated more strongly than it wai in a previous letter. The Mr. Henry Spaulding ol Boston lectured last evpning before a large audience at tbe New-Century Club on "Tho Marble Faun," illustrating bia narrative with stereopticon riews of all the places in Home, described by Nathaniel Hawthorne in the course of the story. Mr.

Spauidinu knew personally not only tbe author, bat tbe originals of two of the personages of tbe novel, Kenyon and 11 i Id a. Tbe character of tbe former wae suggested by that of tbe sculptor, William W. Story, and tbe brown haired New England maiden, Hilda, was a governess in Mr. Hawthorne's family. She was a woman of marvelous aerjaitivenese indeed of Puritan over eensativenesa and conscientiousness.

Sb bad been taught much about tbe sinfulness of sin. how it involves others bettidoa tbe actual einners tbat she felt guilty merely for baring witnessed the crime committed by Miriam and Donatella It is true that "our sins destroy othar Eden9 than our own." She and ber family, who lived in Dorchester, joined io the anti -slavery crusade in the old antebellum days. Miriam was a beautiful Jewess tbat Mr. Hawthorne met in London. In England tbe storr ia publiabed under tbe title of "The Transformation, because it shows tbe development of a soul iu tbe gay, vivacious young Italian.

Donatello, who when he first appears seems but a link between humanity and the innocent, happy creatures that live in field and wood a personification of all tbe pleasantnesa of tvlvan life, an essence of the lovely Italian landscapes. He was humanized through bia repentance for a committed crime. Nathaniel Hawthorne did not Lelieve that ain waa a necessary process in the education of tbe soul, but through it Donatello developed into a human being who must work out bis own redemption, aided by the transiieurm? powor of friendship and of religious faith. Crushed by bis eeose of guilt he was lifted eently up by tbe manly mediation of bia friend Kenyon. Am the famous marble statue of a faun at Rome was the suggestion of tbe character of Donatello, eo waa tne beautiful picture of Beatrice Cenci, with ita unfathomable depth of sorrow, the inspiration for that of Miriam.

In England tbia work is Considered tbe important single contribution our country baa yet made to Engliab litature. In ita literary style it ia clear cut as a statue, yet glows like a painting. "Where ia tbe godmother wijrt gave you to talk pearls and diamonds?" asked Morley of Hawthorne. In Koaie be shows ua tbe past of two distinct civilizations, tbat of the mediaeval saints and of tbe old pagan gods. Koine, aa it now exiata aoems like but a heap of rubbish thrown in to till up tbe gap between ua and the empire.

While tbe pictures ware thrown on the screen Mr. Hpaulding carried along tbe thread of tbe story and quoted some of Hawthorue'a descriptions of tbe famous spots in Rome tbat were made 3 This Coupon and ioc. .5 Presented at the Auditorium Box Office ill Admit One Child, Stucieat in Public School, to vTitccss Picture Showing The Passion Play 5 Teek- January 24th Good 'I "ornii tne LTHOMAS fM 4-09-409 eiamlnniiua ornviHauoa fre.
