city as follows; Garfield, II, OS9; Han

Garfeld's majority over Hancock,
1887; over all 1892. The republican

3773. Republican gain 1851. The
total vote in the county yesterday was
81, 593, against 36,49l in October and
33,055 in 1876. The aggregate demo-
cratic vote fell off 296 from October,
all but one vote falling off in the city.
The republican aggregate increased
SIS in the city and 42O in the county,
total increase 1895. But for the losses
in the Fifth ward, the total democrat
ic vote would have been slightly larger
than in October.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, November 81.
The republicans carried this city yes
terday by 4s4 majority, a republican
gain of 459 over Fosters vote for gov
ernor in 1879. Returns from all the
townships in this, Franklin county,
are in, except one, and show that the
democrats have carried the county by
400, whereas the county is usually
democratic by from 1900 to 1000. The
general result is so overwhelming that
the democrats have accepted the stu
alton gracefully, and there is less evil
dence Of disappointment manifested
on the streets than for many years.

ANOTHER HALF LOAF.

The Democrats, in accordance with
the genius of the Republic, have al.
ways opposed the display Of soldiers
and U. s. Marshals at the polls, and
tried to repeal the obnoxious laws at
the last session, but Fraud Hayes
vetoed all the repeal bills.
The troublesome question of U. S.
Deputy Marshals has been settled in

supported by Garfield and four Others
of his party, greatly to the disgust Of

The Republicans say the Democrats

President in case the election Is thrown

ncsota belongs TO tho Democrats then
it is not stealing to reclaim IT, The

ing the arguments of the parties, say
Eyes" The State, then, is already
stolen away from the Democrats and
the Republicans are setting up unan.
imous and dismal howl of "stop thief"
to prevent the Democrats taking it
back again.
Suppose the people tail to elect a
President this year and the choice is
thrown into the House. 1t Is TO be
expected that the Democrats will al.
low their candidate to suffer defeat
through the vote Of Minnesota being
thrown Tor the Republican candidate,
where it would not belongy If Min
nesota, in view of such contingency,
sends delegation composed Of two
Democrats and one Republican to the
House, has the Democratic majority
in that House the right to allow it to
be changed to two Republicans and
one Democrat and refuse to interfere
The Republicans say great deal
about the majority of 1000 What Of
lit? If that majority represents fraud
and intimidation it should be swept
away if it was ten times 1900. To
say otherwise is simply to declare TO a
corrupt man, "Cheat little and we
oust you; cheat on gigantic scale
and you won't be disturbed" The Re.
pubicans have unseated Democrats
with two, three, and even nine thou.
sand majorities. In one case they dis.
franchised 10000 voters to bring their
man in, and we never heard that they
: lost any votes by it.
Upon this Minnesota case the politics
of the United States for the next ten
years may turn. The Republicans un.
derstand this well. 1t Is reported that
there is 100000 on deposit here III

ing unseatod The very attorneys fol
Mr.. Donnelly have been approached
and urged to betray their client and
take a bribe from Washburn.
The Republicans on the Committee
on Elections virtually admit that
Washburn has no case, and their latest
dodge is to send a commission TO Min.
nesota TO procure testimony, which
Washburn failed to procure. In this
way they hope to prolong the matter
until after the election, and then if the
election of President goes into the
House, and the Democrats attempt to
seat Donnelly, the outcry of "fraud'
would be raised with ten-fold force
and the Republicans would call for Q
revolution of the people to save Their
candidate Washington Post.

tion TO solemn resolution of the Re.
publican Convention Of 1874, this rest
ivcness became epidemic. The action
Of the Harrisburg Convention intcnsi-
fed the feeling, and the insurrcction
has been gaining ground every day
since that time The prospect now is
that unless the Camerons will throw

making up the roll Of Conventions in
the State Committee which exercises
il through its official head This is in
strict accord with the practice in the
legislative branches Of the Federal and
State Governments. In the Lower
House Of Congress the Clerk Of the
former House makes up the roll. In
our State House of Representatives a
similal practice prevails. 1t is an alb.
solute necessity that this power must
be lodged somewhere. Legislative
bodies or Conventions could not be or
ganized if the making up of tho roll OF
members were committed 10 the jar.
ring and discordant elements of which
they ordinarily consist. For example
if the principle for which the Inteiii.
gencer contends were TO be applied it
would be an easy matter 20 produce a
condition of affairs in which the Con.
vention would be without quoram.
That is, il The names Of all delegates

Tie roll, the Convention might find hselt
ioithOut majority Of its members pres
ent In that event it could not effect
an organization, for minority Of a
parliamentary body can do nothing.
Suppose that besides tho threatened
wholesale contest in Philadelphia there
were similar contests from the eleven
counties of Allegheny, Berks, Bucks,
Crawford, Erie, Lancaster Luzerne,
Montgomery, SchuylkiIl, Chester aud
York, according to the doctrine Of the
Inteiiigencer, the names Of l3l dele
gates would be hlotted from the roll
and only 1870, minority of the 25l
constituting the Convention, would re
main. The Convention by such a pro
cess would simply annihilate itself and
it would only be necessary for design.
ing politicians TO give notice of general
contests in those counties in order tc
give the control OF the roll to them
selves if they were in the minority
1t follows, therefore, that the only safe
mode OF effecting a preliminary organ
ization of the Convention is to follow
the usages Of Congress, Of the State
Legislature and of former Democratic
Conventions. The State Committe,
must, therefore, make up the roll, anC
make it from the certificate Of election
made to it by the proper officers o
the local Conventions held under th,
rules of the party, just as the Clerk o
the House at Washington and th,
Clerk Of our State House Of Represent
atives make up their respective roll
from the certificates based on the re
turns OF the elections held according
to law. This will not be difficult at al
because the State Committee has Off
cial knowledge of the regularity o
local Conventions through its commu
nication with the regularly appointed
| Committees of the several counties ant
cities, But it must be understood tha
the roll 30 made up stands only unit
the temporary organization is effected
and may be afterward changed by th,

ORDER Versus ANARCHY.


Our friends of the Lancaster Intelh.

falls into ono or two serious errors in
commenting on the action of the State
Committee at Pittsburgh" To this
we make the retort courteous that the
IntelhgRcer has deliberately stepped
into several "scrious errors in making
the following statement.
II IL neither the busintts Of the State Central
Committee. nor It's Chairman, to decide who are

phia" or any other disputed district. Mr.. Miller
should ask the contention ITO determine.aH quos.

as a seat Is contested no claimant eau be put on

l. There is no State Central Commit
tee. The Democratic State Committee
created by the Democratic voters Of
the State through their representatives
in State Convention assembled, is the
official organ of the party until super
seded by another Convention.
2. Tho Democratic State Committee,
through its official head, the Chair.
man, has always made up the roll Of
delegates TO State Conventions and the
Democratic State Committee has always
made the preliminary organization Of
State Conventions, its Chairman pre-
siding and its Secretaries calling the
roll of delegates This is tho histori.
cal fact proved by the record Of all
State Conventions held within the
memory Of the present generation.
The Inteiligencer refers to the action OF
the Pittsburgh Convention OF 1873
But the Chairman Of the State Com.
mittee made up the roll Of that body
and the Ctnvention was induced in q
moment of panic and confusion to set
aside q part Of the roll. That was an
exceptional action and cannot be re.
garded as precedent when Il Is clear
that all other Conventions pursued the
opposite course.
