Show yV.WSVAVEU OPIMON-i. Tbe X.tion Il.bnk. to Itouo-pollita. Itouo-pollita. New York, Nov. 5. The Timet says Thomas B. Reed was elected Speaker of the House in the present pres-ent Congress by a mijority of 7. When the House adjourned the dlctatorsucceuded in making that majority 24. When the 1 louse meets in December, 1891, Mr. Heed, If he Is the candidate of bis party for Speaker, will be defeated by a majority of at least TO. That is the response of tbe country to his insolent in-solent challenge to accept a House of Representatives which he thanked God was (no longer a deliberative body. It is the answer of the country also to the tariff policy of the republican party, put upon the statute book just in time to be voted on by thu people, and to the force bill, postponed "until after tbe elections." It is not S3 much tho reversal by indignant republicans of the popular verdict which Mr. HIs-cock HIs-cock claimed bad bten given In advance ad-vance in favor of the McKlnley bill. It is tho rebuke of the nation to the party managers who had set up the golden calf of monopoly and called on the people to bow down and worship it. It is the notice to Mr. Harrison and his administration that the government of the United States cannot be bought with money or with patronage more than once by tho same purchaser. HOW THE "WORLD" VIEW8 IT. Tho World eays: "The next Houre of Iteprf-sentatives will be democratic by TO majority. This result is due to the conduct of the majority of the present Houie. I The people have fittingly rebuked tho partnership with monopoly and plutocracy Into wit juj the republican party has forced the government. They rebelled against tbe additional burden of taxes with which they have been loaded for the benefit of contributors to the republican repub-lican campaign funds. They have entered a protest against the republican repub-lican attempt to maintain their power In the Senate by the creation of rotten borough Stales. They denounce de-nounce the extravagance of a Congress Con-gress which has brought the Treasury Treas-ury face to face with a ruinous deficiency. de-ficiency. They have given an adverse ad-verse verdict on Mr. Iteed's arbitrary arbi-trary denial of the rights of tbe minority and bis destruction of the deliberative character of the House. In view of this verdict, any attempt at-tempt to rerpetaale the ascendancy of the republican party by the enactment enact-ment of a force bill, or of a partisan reapportionment, based on a fraudulent fraudu-lent census, will be a desperate defiance de-fiance of the expressed will of the people. t |
