How HANCOCK TOOK IT.

New YORK, Nov. 3.-Gen. Hancock said
to reporter to-day: ~ am willing to abide
by the decision Of the people. Our country
is n republic; the majority must rule"
There was nothing in his demeaIor to :ndi-
cate disappointment.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Last night Gen. Ham
cock retired at an early hour, having given
explicit orders that he should not be dis
turbed on account of any dispatches what
ever. The officers of his command at head
quarters watched the bulletins, which grew
hourly discouraging for their chief. long at
ter he was asleep. This morning Gen. Han
cock arose at an early hour, walked over to
his efice, where he spent some time dispos-
ing of important private cares. He spent
the day attending to routine duties, and re-
ceiyed all visitors. No politicians Of promi-
hence put in an appearance, and but few
personal friends called to express coincidence
and regrets.

81 can only repeat what l have said all
along, that am willing to abide by the de-
cission Of the people. Our country is re.
public and the majority must rule. There is
no use complaining"
Well, General, there is one great conso-
lation. you will not be hampered and har-
raised with the cares and perplexities Incl

Gen. Hancock laughed and said: "Well.
gentlemen, have my dutie. to perform ss

Atlantic, and 1 must not forget that l have
u large amount of official work awaiting me
at the present moment"
On the island everything wears the air Of
Sunday stiffness.

'Thirty-cight democratic Senators VIII

thirty-one from the South and seven from the

the Republicans a majority of one. Kellogg

HOW GARFIELD RECEIVED TIE NEWS.

| \ Mentor special says: IL Was early tnis
morning before anything came from the Pa
cifc coast. from which Garfield had express
ed desire to hear. Several times during
| the night the news was most favorable. The
scene by this time became one never to be
forgotten. In a little 16xa0 building sat the
President-elect of the grandest country un-
der the sun. calmly reading the dispatches
that told of his elevation to that high posi-
ton. His little son stood by his side at the
desk figuring Geographic sheets, Of the sig
nifcance of which he had little idea. Clus-
tered around. full Of deep satisfaction and
vet i'm no wise showing excitement, were
friends and neighbors Of the man whose
upward progress they had watched with
pride aud affection. To one and all he
showed familiarity that made them feel he
was still one of them, and yet could make
them forget that he was man among men.
At his |. # elbow by a table thrown together
for the occasion. sat the representatives OF
the press, and at his right his confidential
secretary, with two busy telegraph opera
tors.
The present occupant Of the White House
telegraphed his successor as follows:
MY heartiest congratulations. God bless
you. [signedl X. b. HAYES.

WHAT Mr.. ENGLISH THINKS.

In an interview with a Daily Ne1s reporter
Hon. VIM. II. English talks freely about the
late election and its results. He thinks that
Indiana has held up remarkably well con-
sidering the defeat i'm October and that they
have not had majority in the State since
1872, and then less than !, 200 for Hendricks
for Governor. Personally he feels no cha
grin at the result. While feeling the honor
Of a unanimous nomination for the Vice
Presidency without influence or patronage.
II had no charms for him, and he feels rather
glad that he is LEFT TO life more congenial
and profitable. The Democracy with n Dem
Ocratic Senate, a close House OF Representa-
tives. and the Presidency decided by sma
majority in single State, will not die. The
resi- cause of the prosperous times and bus
mess satisfaction (the country thought il
wisest to let well enough alone) and lack Of
harmony in New York. The October cleo
ton in Indiana and some. other things may
have had little weight. The main thing,
however, was the good times and the dispo-
ton to let well enough alone.
In conclusion. Mr.. English bewaiied the
corruption in party politics. so different
from forty years ago, when he first entered
political life.

y.wAD. MCDONALD.

1t will be seen by reference to the election
returns that the Democrats CT Sedgwick
county scratched Judge Mcdonald, their
candidate for Congress, and voted almost
solidly for Mitchell, the Greenbacker. As
. faithful Journalist We deem 1t due to pos
terity to record, with Bible simplicity and
truthfulness the why's and wherefores OF this
most strange and apparently incomprehensi-
bic conduct and action Of the Young Democ-
racy Of Sedgwick county. ItwiIlbe remem-
bered that when Judge Mcdonald was nomi-
mated by the Democratic convention which
assembled in this city, he made nice little
speech accepting the nomination. among
other things promising to make canvass OF
the district, and that he would treat the OPP
position with due courtesy aid avoid every
thing like personal dcnunciation. In fact.
he promised TO make his speeches from the
high standpoint that the party of which he
was the representative was worthy the con-
idence and votes Of the people. This an
nOuncement fell like wet blanket on the
young Democracy OF Sedgwick county.
II will ALTO be remembered that ex-king
John Martin made speech in the evening in
which he put forth the proposition, both by
precept and example, that it WAS not wise
for the Democratic party TO rely on its mer-
it's, but must win. if win it could, by throw
ing filth at the candidates Of the Republican
party. This was more TO the minds Of the
'. Ii. who had already laid in bountiful
supply of excrcment, which they were de-
sirous Of heaying as soon as the victim
should be selected.
Mcdonald made speech here few days
before the election, and i'm the course thereof
for the purpose Of illustrating his idea OF
party fealty, selected our candidate for
County Attorney, Capt. Balderston, and
complimcnted him as brave soldier, an
honorable. upright citizen, and regretted
that on account of his politics he would be
compelled to vote against him !. he lived In
this county. For this he was taken TO task
BY the disciples of the ex-king, and failing
to make suitable apology he was informed
that they would not vote for him, and they
were invited to go to place prepared for
liars and slanderers generally, and for the
young Democracy in particular.
The printed tickets distributed throughout
the county. by the Democratic Central Com
mi:tce. had the name Of Mitchell instead Of
Mcdonald, and the Democrats, with their
usual stupidity, and following up their habit
of doing what they are told, in obedience 10
the edict OF their self-constituted bosses.
voted the ticket as prepared for them. we
venture to say the majority not not knowing
or caring why.

A SOUTHERN SENTIMENT.

The DAILY Register, Of Columbia, $. c.,
says: snow with Garfield in the Presiden-
tial chair, for whom Republicans have
claimed so much in the way of ability and
craftsmanship, we shall see what we shall
see. One thing is certain: If he is half the
man he is claimed to be. il he is only half the
statesman I'm the true sense OF the word, he
will hold his own and be his own successor
in 1894. Not only this; If he bravely and
broadly opens the way Of broad common
sense on the solution of the troubles and an
tagOnisms which have arisen under shallow
headed men and the vindictive policy hith-
ertO pursued by blind partisans, he will find
a solid South meeting him more than half
way, while he shall! have earned The surpass-
ing honor of having inaugurated an era Of
prosperity, in which the country, the whole
country, North and South, East and West,
will forget their jeopardizing hatreds. and
sit down under their own vine and fig tree,
with none to modest or make them afraid.
Garfield has the head sufficient for this work
Has he the nerve, the character and the con-
stancy? All, there's the rub.

The words OF the constitutional Amend

They are negative words. Authority is to
be derived from positive provisions or terms.
The legislature, Of course, by law, may pro-
vide for sales for the purposes mentioned In
the amendment, but until such . law Is pass

ment does not except sacramental purposes

provide by law for the sale Of wine for sac
ramental purposes Commonwealth.

WICHITA, October 30.-The advent ofCapt.
Payne, this evening. was the occasion Of
lively local sensation. He was met at the
depot by an enthusiastic delegation Of the
Oklahoma Colony Company, and escorted to
headquarters by rapidly increasing throng.
Payne Is entirely confident Of being able to
move into the Territory early in November
with several thousand colonists. The report
made to these headquarters represent South
ern Missouri, Arkansas. Northern and West
ern Kansas. They will come. not as single
spies. but in battalons, and the movement
will no doubt be very formidable one. As
for the counties Of Sedgwick, Sumner, But,
Ter and Cowiey. and half dozen others that
could be named, judging from the correspond
ence received, one would suppose the whole
country on wheels. Payne and his lieuten-
ants are greatly elated at the promising out
