Show THE CONTINUED DEFEATS. - It seems that "Ihc bosses" in Congress Con-gress will never learn any sense. Even 0 a house falling down on them to 0 which the Foss victory in tho Congro q sional election in Massachusetts may o fairly be likened doesn.'t teach them :. an' sense. They continue to extol tho virtues and boncfils of the new tariff law, to donounco "insurgents" of their own party, and to minimize tho im- portanco of recent elections that unmistakably un-mistakably provo tho discontent of tho people with their leadership. It is as if all tho Republican loaders in ! Congress had joined in tho Sinoot scoff, "What, the hell do I care?" if the ! crAintry goes Democratic. To the defeat of the Republican can- didatc for Congress in tho "Old Colony" Colo-ny" district in Massachusetts, tn the revolt of the "Indiana Republicans in their State convenlion, conn's now the defeat of tho Republican candidate for Congress in the supposedly invincible Republican district comprising Monroo county, New York, whoso normal Re publican ninjorily is ("000, and which gave Mr. Perkins, deceased member, in whose stead this election was called, a plurality of .10,167 votes. The Democratic Demo-cratic candidate is now elected, in spile of Ihc most strenuous efforts of the Republican machine, by a plurality of MOO votes; a chango front 100S to the present time of upwards of 1(5,000 votes in that one district. The issuo was squarely made on the tariff. Tho defeat is conclusive. And ' it is evident, that the bad faith and ; stupidity that, cnuscd tho enactment of the new tariff law is going to give the Democrats the next House, and perhaps, if tho dishonest folly is-pcrsisied in, may oven give ihc.ni the next President. |
