HONEST VOTERS.

A political follower of Mr.. Tilden,
blessed with the euphonous title of
"Eph" Holland, has been arrested for
illegal voting in Cincinnati, and has
made public statement, in which he
confesses the cooperation of moral
Reformers" from several cities, and
among the number, Baltimore 1t is
not surprising that Bannon & Co. are
prepared to furnish to order any given
number of "roughs" to assure Demo-
cratic majorities in Cincinnati or else
where, by the methods employed SO
successfully in behalf of the higher
toned and typical Reformer Mr.. John
Lee Carroll, by grace Governor of Mary
land, but it does argue a wonderful
demonstration in Maryland politics,
when the leader of the Baltimore gang
of repeaters turns out to be the chair
man of the Baltimore Democ ratio Ex-
eeut i've Committee. Holland saws that
with his thirty-eight repeaters he poled
over five hundred votes for Banning, the
Democratic candidate for Congress, at
the last October election Holland also
describes accurately the Baltimore Re
formers. As the matter is being closely
investigated, further developments of
interest, relative to Baltmore's backing
of Banning, may soon be looked for.

THE PHILADELPHIA ELECTION.

This, with nearly all the municipal
elections held during the week, resulted
n a sweeping Republican victory. 1t
was closely contested battle for Mayor
Receiver of Taxes and City Solicitor
They are important Offices, and the
Democrats used every exertion to cap
ture them. Hon. VIM S. Stokelv, the
present incumbent, was reelected Mayor
by good majority, considering the OPP
position made against him During
his present term he has incurred the
displeasure Of certain prominent Repub-
Leans who are ambitious for the same
office, which having failed to secure,
they took up Joseph l.. Caven as an
independent Republican. A combina-
ton was made with the Democrats, but
the straightout Democracy preferred to
support a Regular, rather than an In
dependent Republican, and supported
Stokelv. Beside, they feared from past
experience, Democratic police force.
New York and Baltimore experiences in
this regard are worth considering, which
it seems they did.

"FORBIDDEN FRUIT"

Two farces have recently been perpe-
trated upon the public. one in the dra-
matte, the othern the political line, which
challenge comparison of their dement's.
Both of them are the work of skillful
artists in their respective fields of enter
prise. We allude to the pseudo comedy
of " Forbidden Fruit by that prolific
PLAYWRIGHT, Mr. Dion Boucicault, and
the GENUINE Oregon electoral farce by
that gifted man of destiny, Mr.. Samuel
J. Tilden. The former we have always
admired as laborious, painstakng, and
conscientious author and actor, whose
contributions to dramatic literature have
been not only unusually numerous and
varied, but which, we think, entille
him to rank above the level of contem-
poraneous dramatic authors We have
recognized him as an able advocate of
the legitimate drama, too independent
pecuniarilv as an actor and too cult
waited as an author and compiler, to con-
descend to the lower business of the
variety theater. He has, however, in
Forbidden Fruit produced a play
which no well-conceived stage effect or
accessory of scenery or wardrobe can
elevate to the dignity Of drama, or
redeem its author from the unwhole-
some charge of catering to a depraved
taste for the coarse and sensational
On the other hand, for the author of
the " Oregon Farce" we do not profess
any special admiration, either politi-
cally or personally. While we regret
that Mr.. Boucicault has stopped to
conquer for the success Of Forbid
den Fruit we are not disposed
to speculate upon the limit of Mr..
Tilden's condescension in search of
Political Fruit or to maintain that
he has much reputation to lose, if his
entire political record be closely scrutin-
lied. Be this as it may, however, For
hidden Fruit" placarded as the Great
Walack Success" has no better claims
to legitimacy than have any of the spuri-
GUS publications of Mr.. Tilden's Liter

afterwards engaged the British fri"atc

specially mentioned as having bv his

with the Java had been wounded in

squadron against Algiers For his gal

behalf of his Government, Congress by
resolution, in 1920 voted him two mas
sive silver medals. now in the posses
sion Of his family. These medals bear
the profiles in relieve Of the two
brave commanders of the Old Iron
Sides Hull and Bainbridge and are
priceless souvenirs of the services of
these eminent Americans.

A PERSONAL REMINISCENCE.

The interesting historical sketch of
the "Old Ironsides," from a new local
contributor, whom we welcome in our
" Peoples column" recalls the recol-
lection of an eminent citizen of Elkt0n
whose distinguished services on board
the old frigate Constitution have
long since passed into history. We
refer to Doct. Amos \. Evans, father Of
the Hon Alexander Evans, Of whom
many of the older readers Of The
Wing" cherish so many pleasant per-
ent purpose to attempt any extended
sketch of Doct. Evans eminent services
as a Surgeon in the United States
Navy. during the war of 1912 We
hope. however, at no very distant dav
to be able to furnish our readers wi, h
an extended review of his eminent ca
reer, which Congress at the time so
gracefully recognized, and Of which his
county and State may SO justly be
proud. 1t is, however, pleasure to
recall such recollections, if for nothing
else to aid 10 cherishing the memory of
those who have bequcathed to their de-
scendants and countrymen the rich
legacy of their honored nance For
the present suffice it to say, that Doct
Evans was born in this County, in
1888 He studied medicine under Doct
Benjamin Rush, one of the sgners of
Declaration of Independence. and Doct.
Abraham Mitchell, grandfather of DIR,
Henry H. Mitchell of this town. af.er
his graduation at Harvard University.
About the year 1909, he entered the
Navy as Surgeon, and was stationed
some three years at New Orleans, St
Louis, and Natchez, after the cession of
Louisiana by Napoleon. He was sub

ton, "Old Ironsides," then under com

have been one Of the officers whose at

vented the proposed disbandment of the

succeeded in getting the Constitution
to sea. He was on board this frigate
in the celebrated chase by the British

GOV. HAYES SOUTHERN POLICY.

In his letter of acceptance of the
nomination for the Presidency, Gov.
HAYES Indicated what his probable
policy would be towards the South in
the event of his election. Let ME
"assure my countrymen of the South
"ern States, that, if | shall be charged
with the duty of organizing an adj
ministratiou, it will be one which will
regard and cherish their truest inter-
ests-the interests of the white and
~ of the colored people both and equally,
:" and which will put forth its best eff
forts in behalf of civil policy which
Twill wipe out forever the distinction
"between North and South in our COM
"mon country"
We believe Gov. Hayes as President
will redeem strictly every promise he
made when nominated. All who know
him best write in testifying to his good
feeling towards the South. Any other
suppostion or estimate of his charac-
ter is incompatible with the language
quoted above. Gov Hayes is undoubt-
edlv aversc to the corrup! clement of his
own party, and his purpose is doubtless
sincere one, to shape his admlnlstra-
ton so as to make the Republican party
National one in fuller and wider
sense than it has ever been. 1t can very
readily be done. We hail with salts
faction the stand taken by the South
ern members of Congress against the
disreputable attempts on the part OF
Northern and Western indicators to
delay the count of the Electoral Court.
We owe this recognition of right and
Justice to the good sense and patriot
ism of the ablest Southern leaders.
But for the attitude assumed by the
Southern leaders in the caucus of their
party, Vandalism, the worst phase of
political communism would be rampant
ia the Lower House. Instead, it is
kept in check by the higher and more
conservative influence of purer men.
We say purer men, because we would
not insult the intelligence of any re-
spectacle Democrat by institutiDg in
this connection a compar s,n Gwen a
true Southern soldier and a Northern
or Western copperhead." These men
set now as before very different exam,
pies to the country. The moral force
of the really courageous men OF the
Democratic South is now apparently
the controlling force in the caucus. We
believe the representative men of the
South are in just the mood towards their
Northern and Western party brethren
to accept the proffer of Gov. Hayes
letter of acceptance. The people are
longing for the restoration of a real and
abiding peace, for new era of national
good will and confidence Para vZed
business, suspended trade, and suffer
ing industries anticipate the restoration
of the material interests of the South
North and South alike, the best men o.
the nation depricate narrow partisan
ship, and under President Hayes viii
welcome, we hope, a lasting peace,

THE COUNT.

The Electoral Tribunal proceeded in
the count down to Oregon, on Wednes-
day, when objection to portion Of the
vote Of that State was made. and the
Commission separated to consider the
eligibility OF Mr.. Watts, the Republican
elector, whose place Gov. Grover had
filled with the name Of Three thousand
Dollar Cronin. The consideration of
the case occupied attention till Wednes-
day evening, when the Commission adj
journed. At that time strong hopes
were entertained that a vote would
certainly be reached on Thursday, but
owing to several of the members being
unwell a further adjournment occurred
on Thursday evening. with the distinct
understanding, however. that a final
vote should be had at O'Clock YES
terday
Thus far there have been twenty
eight States counted, leaving ten still
uncOunted
The feeling among the Republicans
in Washington, yesterday, was still
confident that Hayes will be declared
elected.
The only matter for fear now is that
the time till the 4lh of March is so
short that it may be in the power of a
small and desperate minority of the
House to prevent its completion, and it
ought not peril apps to be matter for
surprise, in view of the composition of
that body, to learn that this small and
desperate minority are now perfecting
a scheme for their own disgrace and

EVERYBODY who likes the Wamsutta
cottons will be interested in the fact
that the operatives in the Wamsutta
mills in New Bedford, Mass, have
struck for higher wages and the mills
have been stopped The agent, being
called upon, told the hands that they
had already received the benefit of the
slight rise in the market, and that there
would positively be no further advance
of wages. The workmen have done
one sensible thing they have agreed
to abstain from all intoxicating drinks
during the strike. Possibly there would
have been no strike if they had come to
the same determination before How
ever, if they will keep their senses, and
consider the matter in practical way,
the present troubles may be speedily
abated.
