There was excitement among employ
ees of the Standard Oil Company. Twen-
ty-nve men employed in the depot of the
con- pany in Weehawken we're discharged
because, it is alleged, ''they intended to
vota for Hancock" The works are un-
der the management Of Superintendent
Armstrong, jealous Republican. On
Thursday afternoon be went among the
employees and asked each man how he
intended to vote. He carried book. in
which he wrote their answers. When
the men reported for duty yesterday
morning Armstrong informed twenty
five of them, who had said they would
vote for Hancock that their services
would no longer be required ;and they
wer3 dismissed. Mr.. Armstrong denied
that he had dismissed the men for politi..
cal reasons, but when questioned about
certeined how his men were going to

them and told them. 1 thought they
should vote for Garfield; that the inter-

INDIANAPOLIS. November SIN an in
tery!ew with Dailg Ne,us reporter this
morning Hon. w. II. English talked
freely about the late election and It's re-.
suits. He thinks Indiana held up re-
n,arYcably we'll considering the defeat in
October, and that they have not had a
majority in the State since 1872 and then
less than 1900 for Hendricks for Cover
nor. Personally he feels no chagrin at
the result. While feeling the honor of
the ;unanimous nomination, the Vice
Presidency without influence and pat
ronaEe had no charms for him, and he
feels rather glad that he is left-to life
more congenial and profitable. The
Democracy with Democratic. Senate, a
close House of Representative and the
Presidency decided by small majority
in q single State, will not die. The real
cause Of the Republican success was
prosperous times. and business satisfac-
tion. The country thought it wisest to
let well enough alone. Lack of harmony
in New York, the October election in
Indiana and some other things may
have had little weight, but the main
thing was the business prosperity and
disposition to let we'll enough alone. MIR.
English bewailed the corruption in
party politics as very different from the
state Of things forty years ago when ne
first entered political life.
How We Lost New York.
A significant circumstance that attract
ed prompt notice and comment was the
fact that, although the registration had
been 80, 600 greater than In 1875, the total
vote was about the same, while the Re-
publican vote was about the same, indi-
eating large abstention on the part Of
Democratic voters. This is credited to
the depressing effect OF the local ticket
headed by Grace, which was very unpop-
ular. John Kelly is charged with treach-
ery to- the party and With having bar
gained with General Arthur to give the
Republicans the State while he should
have the city. Tammany Hall was cave
of gloom as the returns camo in, and
Kelly seemed to be genuinely dumb
founded at the slaughter Of Democratic
majorities. With greatly increased reg
fstration, both in New York and Brook
lyn, Hancock had not over gotten two
thirds of Tilden's majority in those two
cities.
Your correspondent asked Kelly what
he thought was the cause of it, and he
said he could rot understand it; he could
not tell what had gotten into the people.
Some of the Tammany slnall-try, how
ever, loudly declared that the Irving Hall
faction had played the traitor. Gen.
Hancock had Western Union wire in
his quarters, and received dispatches up
to halGpast nine. He then announced
that he was going to bed, and that state.
ment was made to all callers after that
hour. Neither Jewell nor Barnum were
in the city. The latter has been in most
unhappy frame of mind since the III
diana election, and was glad to seek the
retirement of his home in Connecticut.
It is not believed that he will soon emerge
therefrom.-New York Special to Baltimore

The Solid South Need Not Melt.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, November 5.-The
Montgomery Advertiser says: Lawlessness
and oppression, the prohigacy and plunder
of the Republican party compelled the SOL
idity Of the South. To that solidity more
than ever before she must remain steadfast
and unmovable Under our benign home
rule our people have prospcred to degree
that has astounded our friends and confused
our enemies. There need not be, and will
not be any "let up" in the wonderful pro-
gress Of the South under the new regime,
whatever it may be, which the Republican
party seek to innugurate. 1t cannot mate
rally affect the South 1t will, indeed,
prove blessing to The extent that it will
induce greater self.reliance, greater energy,
and wiser efforts in developing the wonder
full wealth and unlimited resources which
n kind Providence has bestowed upon the
Sunny South. The sun will still shine,
gentle showers will fall, seed time and har-
vest will still bring their blessings, and our
great staple must continue to be power in
the commercial world, while our coal and
iron and other minerals will yield wealth
of which the world docs not dream. Let
the Solid South, Solid always for home rule
and honest government, now give its great
est vigilance and wisest counsels, not to Ma
tional politics or to the conflicts and passions
of National parties, but to building up and
advancing our educational, moral and ma
terial interests. Herein the South is and
must continue to be solid," solid rs her
glorious mountains and strong and increas-
Ing as the flow of her own broad and beau
tifll streams. 1t may be that Garfield will
prove very different from what his past re-
cord indicates. AS the first officer Of our
great Republic, with the responsibility OF
the government of fifty millions of people
pressing upon him, he may possibly prove
