The Election

Editor

THE presidential election is over. The important event came and went with perhaps as little upheaval or commotion as could have been hoped for in view of all the circumstances.

Presidential elections in this country have ever been noted for the warmth and earnestness with which each party has urged its peculiar views. Every expedient has been resorted to that promised the possible conversion of voters to those peculiar views. Each platform was urged by the most influential newspapers and the ablest political orators to be secured by the respective contestants.

The contest just closed was no exception to the rule obtaining in past history. Indeed, with the exception of the time for some years prior to and during the great Civil War, there has never been a more hotly contested presidential campaign than this one. Public feeling seldom runs higher than it did during this struggle for supremacy. There was developed much more of personal bitterness and. animosity than is wise or healthful, from any point of view.
