HE COBVALUS GAZETTt TCESDAYS AND FRIDAYS, NOT A PARTY VICTORY. The election of the Republican 'candidates by unprecedented ma jorities both in the popular and electoral college is much "more than a party victory. It is. not a " Republican victory, but a triumph of Republican principles and policies won by the American people because they approve of ,and believe in those principles and policies. It expresses not simply his party's approval of the administration cf President Roosevelt, but it is expressive, as well, of the approval of thou sands of men who have never been known as Republicans. It is not alone a vote of' admiration of the party for Mr. Roosevelt's honesty, courage, energy, wis dom and patriotism, but it ex presses the high estimation in whictiv the plain, every-day Amer ican people hold such qualities. We may not be able to see just how much the President's per sonality contributed to the vic tory, but this much is true: Not since the daysj of Andrew Jack son have the people had before them a presidential candidate who has measured up to their ideal of what an American Pres ident should be so perfectly and satisfactorily as does Theodore Roosevelt. But apart from this, had some other of several Republican lead ers borne the party banner it would have been carried to a splendid victory. The popular approval of the principles and policies of the party would have been no less certain. We 'fincl evidence of this in the fact that though the opposition tried every means to find an issue by which the people might be moved the attempt was everywhere a 'dis mal failure. The great manufacturing states answered the Democratic assaults on protection by unprecedented majorities for the Republican candidates. The trade and com mercial centers of the country as emphatically voiced their satis faction with the things done and doing by the party. The agri cultural sections responded with an emphatic expression of their satisfaction with prevailing con ditions. The whole country is in accord with Republican adminis tration of public affairs". Even "the solid South, " where distrust of Republican purposes is. a bit ter prejudice, shows an inclina tion to accept these and deal with them on their merits. The vote of Missouri breaks the solid South, let it be hoped, for all time. As we have said,' the opposM turn failed 'to find an issue on which it might successfully ap peal to the people. The superb victory won for the dominant party makes it doubly incumbent upon Mm Have your cake, muffins, and tea bis cuit home-made.

It must be so; the peo ple expect it shall be so, and we firmly believeit will be so. We believe the affairs of the nation, whether at home or abroad, will be conducted wisely and success fully, and that -it is altogether, probable the people will long con tinue to regard the Republican party as the best and safest in strumentality for working out the destiny of the nation accord ing to the high ideals and just conceptions of the American People. 1 SHOULD KEEP SILENT. Judge Parker has given Out a letter in which he reiterates his charge that the trusts contribut ed the bulk of the campaign fund. Hear him: "If we would help the people; if we would fur nish an organ through which they may be relieved of a party that has grown so corrupt; that" it will gladly enter into the partnership of trusts to secure money for election purposes we. must for get the differences of the past." And further; '.' 'We must bring home to them that money con tributed to the Republican party by trusts is not only dishonest money, but it is given that the trusts may without hindrance take a much larger sum from the people." This charge was met by the President with a straight-for ward and manly denial. Judge Parker failed to make it good, and the people of New York by a majority of 185,000 told Parker it is false. It is an open secret that the trusts secured Parker's nomina tion. Bryan and Hearst knew this was so for they were behind the scenes. They gave Parker little earnest support because of this knowledge. The people of New York knew that the names of Parker's campaign managers and advisers are synonymous with trusts. Here's some of them: Belmont, Davis, Gorman, McCar ren, Hill, Bryan, Myer. These men had no need to so licit funds from the trusts, for they are the trusts. K They nom inated and supported Parker because they knew he was their man. They did not deceive the people of New York, it is-doubt-ful if Parker is so unsophisticat ed that they deceived him. The Judge should now preserve a discreet and judicial silence con cerning trust contributions to campaign funds. BRYAN TO THE FORE. Who shall pick up the Demo cratic party from the debris of its late defeat and give it vitality is a matter of little concern to Republicans. We surmise it will not be Gorman, Hill nor Cleve land. They have had . their in nings and must step aside. It seems probable that Bryan, Hearst and possibly Watson" sin of bake-day help4 Made gly or together will assume con,- trol of the party and "name- the j issue which : it will raise for f u jture contests. Already Bryan i has snoken. - ' -": He gives " the late - leader and managers of theVparty a sfilleto thrust when he declares that "the trusts cannot be fought suc cessfully by any party that de pends on trust funds to win ; its eleciton. " He knows that - both he and Hearst were' turne'd down in the St Louis convention by the trusts. He knows that these same trusts strove to prevent the nom ination of Roosevelt. He will oppose them, of course, but his opposition will go further. He will call it a "contest between democracy and plutocracy." ; His rallying cry will be war on prop erty, war on vested rights, war by those who have nothing upon those who have something. He will gather under tne banner of democracy all the restless, dis satisfied and mischief -making elements of society. v f : It was to such elements he ap pealed in each of his campaigns'. Here is a most inviting field ' for the display of smooth, specious demagogy, and Mr. Bryan has demonstrated that he is a past master in the art. - He will prob ably break his past record. We shall see presently, TBF OFFICIAL RESULT. The official vote of Benton county shows that 1107 is the highest vote cast for a Republi can elector 443 for a -Democratic, 136 for, a Prohibition, 74 for a Socialist and 13 for a People's. Roosevelt's official majority over Parker is therefore 664. James A. Fee, of Umatilla coun ty, was highest on Republican ticket and W. S- Hamilton, of Douglas county, on the Demo cratic.
