A GLORIOUS VICTORY
100000 Major
ity for Grant,

--latest returns from the different
States indicate that the popular ma
jority for Grant over Greeley is 700,
900. Never before in the history OF
our nation was a Presidential VIC
tory 70 sweeping. We except the
case 81 Lincoln against Mcclellan, in
1864, when the Southern States did
not vote and which, therefore, ought
not TO DO taken into comparison
The following have been the Presi'
dental majorities at the different
elections during the last third of q
century; Harrison over Van Buren,,
146. 900 Taylor over Cass, lao, 900
Pierce over Scott, 2l2,0 900 Buchanan
over Fremont, 491 900 Lincoln over
Douglas, 492 900; Lincoln over Me-
Clelan, Southern States not voting,
10000; Grant over Seymour, 3O6,.
900.
The latest returns Indicate that
General Grant has carried 30 of the
States, leaving Greeley only the poor
comfort Of seven-Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland,
Tennessee and Texas. This gives
General Grant 1903 electoral votes
to G3 for Greeley.

GARD FROM HORACE GREELEY.
He Resumes His Editorial Duties-Wiu never
Again Run for Onics-Fuiure Course
Of the Tribune.

The New York Tribune publishes
the following card from Horace Gree
ley:
The undersigned resumes the edits
orship of the Tribune, which he had
relnquished on embarking in anoth-
er line Of business six months ago.
Henceforth it shall be his endeavor
to make this a Thoroughly indepen-
dent journal, treating all parties and
political movements with iudicia |
fairness and candor, but counting
the favor and deprecating the wrath
of no one. If he can hereafter say
anything that will tend to heartily
unite the whole American people on
the broad platform of universal ann
nesty and impartial suffrage, be will
gladly do so. For the present how
ever, be can best commend that con-
summation by silence and forbear-
ance. The victors in our late strug-
gle can hardly fail to take the whole
subject Of Southern rights and wrongs
into an early and earnest considera-
tion, and TO them, for the present, he
RENTS the subject. Since he will
never again be candidate for any
office, and is not in full accord with
either Of the great parties which have
hitherto divided the country, be will
be able, and will endeavor, to give o
wider and steadier regard to the pro-
gress of science, industry, and the
useful arts, than a partisan journal
can do and be will not be provoked
to indulgence in those bitter person
alities which are the recognized bane
of journalism. Sustained by a gen>
erous public, be will do his best to
make the Tribune q power in the
broader field it now contemplates, as
when human freedom was in peril it
was in the arena of political partizan-
ship.

The President.

WASHINGTON, November The
President said today that he was
glad the people had indicated his
private character, which had been
assaied during the canvass.
That there will be at least one
change in the Cabinet at the COM
mencement of the next Presidential
term there is no question. Secretary
Fish, by his own desire, will retire
from the Cabinet. There is no prob.
ability of a change in the attorney
generaIship. Judge Williams recent
ly remarked to a friend that, although
be could have been elected Senator
from Oregon, he declined being a
candidate, in order that he might re-
main in his present office. There is
good reason for stating that any re-
marks of Cabinet changes are mere
speculations.
1t is too early to anticipate the
Presidents action in the future CON-
corning reforms and measures of adj
ministration, further than his intima-
tion to-day that he will endeavor to
shape his official conduct so as to
meet the expectations of the country,
and to unite the people in stronger
bonds of peace by all the means in
bis power, promoting their welfare at
home and abroad.

HOW TO GO WEST.

This is an inquiry which every one should
have truthfully answered before he starts on
his journey, and little care taken in exami-
nation of routes will in many cases save much
trouble, time and money.
The burlington Route" ha. achieved a
splendid reputation in the last two years as
the leading Passenger Route TO the west.
Starting at Burlington il runs direct through
Southern Iowa TO Nebraska and Kansas, with
close connections TO California and the Terri
tories; and passengers starting from Lancas-
ter, on their way westward@ cannot do better
than TO take the c. B. g. Q. and Burlington
Route.
This line has published pamphlet called
"How to 60 West" which contains much val
liable information; large correct map of the
Great West, which can be obtained free of
charge by addressing the General Passenger
Agent B. s. NJ. R. R., Burlington, Iowa.

lar grades of promotion until, as

Minority Representation.

The scheme of minority represen.
tation by means of cumulative vot-
ing, went into operation in Illinois
last Tuesday for the first time. The
Post gives this report OF its work
ings:
In the election of Tuesday, min
GRITTY presentation scarcely obtain
ed fair trial, for every man had to
vote for thirty or forty candida tes
for various offices, and under the
spur of warm partisan feeling, voters
found neither time nor inclination to
discriminate largely or to take ad-
vantage OF the cumulative privilege
in casting their ballots. The mem
bers OF the majority pfrty in dis
trict generally cast one and half
votes each for two men, and the
members of party largely in
minority three votes for one man
Germans and Irish often cumulated
their three votes on candidate of
their nativity or way Of thinking, as
did the temperance men in securing
the election of their friends. But
nine-tenths of the ballots were cast
as they had been prepared in caucus.
This did not, however. entirely de-
prive the law of it's efficiency. As
The returns come in 1t is certain that
every voter in Illinois is represented
in the Legislature for the first time
in our history. In the very strong
est Republican districts, one of the
three representatives elect is a DEM
ocrat in the strongest Democratic
districts, one is Republican. The
existence of this law compelled the
Withdrawal of several bummers and
deadbeats from both tickets before
election day. If they had not with
drawn they would have been defeat
ed. The two parties are Justly reps
resented, for the first time. The
State Senate stand "a Republican to
II Liberal the House "a Republi-
can to SO Liberal; which represents
pretty nearly the true proportion of
the two parties in this State
No harm has resulted, then, so far.
from the introduction of this odd in.
fernal machine; while it may be con-
coded that, in the juster representa-
ton OF the contending parties, and in
giving to every voter a practical
voice in legislation, it has effected a
positive good.

Condition Of the Anything to-beat.
Grant Party.

Not only is our victory more de-
cisiVe and complete than ever was
before gained in the history of the
republic, not only is its magnitude
more unexpected than ever before.
but our opponents are left in con-
d'tlon worse than any previous de.
feated party. As united party.
their very utmost efforts have Just
been pat forth, and achieved q ridi-
culous failure. Could it remain
united, there might be some hope of
It's gaining new strength; but the
union was never anything but the
temporary confederation of two OPP
posing elements, whose only bond of
fellowship was the hope of office and
spoils, aud groundIess prejudice
against Grant. 1t is not united
party. On the contrary, it began to
fall to pieces before election and the
breach has widened more than ever.
Thus is it often with hasty and ill.
assorted matches. The Liberals
were successfully wooed, upon the
pretence that rich Inheritance OF
office would surely fall to them unit
cd, That promise having failed, the
two begin TO abuse and recrimlnate
each other for the failure. Liberals
accuse Democrats of shirking the bal
lot, and going back on their nomlnee
and the charge is well sustained. On
the contrary, Democrats rail at the
Liberal leaders for forcing so weak O
candidate on them, and for promising
them million Liberal Republican
votes which they never secured
And though Greeley promised a
Democrat Of Iowa County, by letter
to divide the spoils between both
classes of the victors, yet there il
abundant proof that in some guar
ters the Democrats intended to tax
the lions share, and cut loose from
the Liberals as soon as they could at
tain power.
So there is mutual suspicion and
dislike under the smooth mask Of
confidence and affection under which
the unequal parties courted at Gin
cinnati and were welded at Balti
more. The honeymoon from then
to November was SYSTEMATICALLY af
fectionate to the outside world, but
behind the curtain there was many
family jar. Now their i'll temper
comes out more openly, and partia
separation ensues. Heartily sick Of
their unfortunate union, they only
wait a suitable pretext to apply fol-
lasting divorce. They would do sc
now, if there was any property tC
be claimed as ahmony; but as thi,
happy family is politically bankrupt
there is nothing lett to quarrel ovel
but debt, despair and modification.

Now Shake.

We hope to hear no moro severe
or disrespectful language used re-
specting Horace Greeley. He has
done what it is vouchsafed few men
to do; he has thoroughly accom-
plished the work to which the ener-
gies of his lifetime have been devot-
ed. For forty years his avowed
business has been to destroy the
Democratic party ; and be has lived
to witness the glorious consumma-
ton of his efforts He has done it
like brave soldier, too; he went
right into the very trenches of the
enemy. True, like Sampson, be
persisted, politically, amid the ruins
where he wrought the downfall OF
his enemies ; but such is ever the
fate of war Let US drop a couple
of tears to his memory and pass on.
