and decisive. "The logic OF events" has
wrought its establishing conditions and en-

no definite OF what may happen. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether or not wisdom is
to be CLEANED from experience and prof is
to be garnered from history as it has re.
vealed itself during the past sixteen years.
The election of Gen. Gar field to the Presi-
dency is con, e'ded by all parties, aud if
his life is spared until the 4th Of next
March, he will he inaugurated and seated
in the White House, to administer the af
fairs Of this Government for the next four
years. This seems TO be n fixed fact which
can only be changed by the intcrposition
OF nm over.ruling Providence.
There are some guiding lights which
point unerringly to the future of politics
and Government. In the frst place we
will have Republican President. We
mean by that 10 intimate that President
Garfield will develop himself in official
life as Republican in the broadest sense

The New York Times of Saturday says
that it is practically true that on Tues
day last the Solid South found itself op-
posed by Solid North, as three great
States, New York, Indiana and Connec.
ticut, abandoned their positions Of 1876,
and came into the Republican ranks,
making change of about fifty.f thous-
and votes in New York alone; while Cal.
ifornia, Nevada and New Jersey had so
small a Democratic margin that they are
Of slight counter-weight. It considers
Gar6sld's popular majority not less than
eighty thousand as submitted, but says
that the way they take and count the vote
in the South is such farce that his mora
majority is not less than FIVE hundred
thousand votes.

JOHN KELLEY'S SAY.
He Defends Himself with Facts and
Figures and Throws the RespOn-
sIbility on Tilden.

Special to the Enquirer.
New York, Nov. IL send you by tel
egraph the vote in counties other than
New York City, where Mr.. Tilden's friends
control the organizations. The publica-
ton of these figures will enlighten your
readers on some matters which they appear
to be ignorant about.
Take Mr.. Tilden's home, Yonkers, and
Westchester county, where he lives, and
it gives Tiden in 1876 for President ma
iority OF 2,476; Hancock's majority in
1880 is 45l, falling off of Hancock's
majority in TIlden's county of 2,025.
Next take Ulster county, the residence
and home of Hon. Mr.. Schoonmaker, Til
den's late Attorney General, and his mem
Der on the Democratic National Commit
tee, and the result here is startling. Til.
den's majority in 1876 was l 1922; Garield's
majority in 1880 is so; Hancock's falling
off in this county is 1,772. Is John Kel-
responsible for this?
Next, Rensselaer, county, the residence
and home of Mayor Murphy, a Catholic,
the friend of Governor Robinson and Til
den, elected Mayor of Troy again by
about 900 majority. In this county in
1876 Tilden for President had majority
of 672; Garfield in 1880, 642-a falling
off in emocratic votes of ,3l4. Ii John
Kelley responsible for this?
| Next take ST. Lawrence county, the res
idence and home of Dan McGone, the legal
adviser and immediate friend of Tillen.
Garfield's majority is 1900; Hayes major
ity was 1881; Republican increase 2l9.
Who is responsible for St. Lawrence coun-
ty, John Kelly or Dan McGone?
Next, Chemung county, the home Of Ex-
Governor Lucius Robinson. Tiden's ma.
| jority in 1876 496; Hancock's majority in
1880, l6l, Hancock'S falling of 3S5. Who
is responsible for this, Kelly or Robinson ?
Next, Monroe county, the home Of Sen
ntor Raines and great many OF Tilden's
interested friends. Garfeld's majority,
1868; Hayes majority, 1911; Republi-
can increase this year, 2,052. Who is re-
sponsible for this, Kelley or Raines
Next take Erie county, the home OF a

Examine carefully the result In 1880
Garheld's' majority is 3,342; in 1876
Hayes majority was 700; increased Re.
publican Garfield vote 1876, from the
friends OF Tilden.
Next take Clinton county, the residence
of the pure and immaculate statesman,
Smith NJ. Weed, the Fides Aehates Of Sam

the result? Garheid's majority in 1880 is
1850; Hayes majority in 1875 was 700
increase OF Republican majority, 1,l44
Who ia responsible for this, Kelly or Weed
Next, Saratoga, always a III den strong
hold, Garfeld's majority, 1900; Hayes
majority, 992-increase of Garfield ovel
Hayes, 1903. The purgative waters o
Saratoga and John Morrissey's gambling

What the southren Press Thinks of it.

Augusta (Go) Chronicle, (Dem.): 1t is
too soon to say what had better be done
four years hence. The South should first
of all, cease following blind leaders and
look out for herself.
Vicksburg Herald (Dem): A political
solid South is no good. We must drop
sentiment, erase the sectional line, set the
example OF honesty in politics, and look
to our local affairs aud our material in.
terests.
Memphis Avalanche, Tnd. Dem.): The
political solid South must go. The hand
writing is on the wall. The North and
the South, as political divisions, are breed
ing offensive odcrs, and should be re-
moved with as little ceremony as other
nuisances.
Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle: The South
has tried Seymour, Greeley, Tilden. and
Hancock, to please the loyal men and abo-
litionists of the North, not to speak of war
Democrats but it WAS no use. Expert
ence is said to be fools teacher. 1t may
be wise mans best friend.
From the Atlanta Daily Constitution Dem:)
The Democrats cling to the government OF
the Constitution, and, as a rule, to reason
able taxation through the custom houses (;
and if they are REINFORCED Ivy body Of
Republicans, or if they march out to re en-
force the anti-monopoly Republicans, the
political millennium would clearly be in
sight. II the ant-Grant Republican
prove the stronger of the two branches oil
the opposition, the Democrats should go
to them, and vice versa. 1t is simply plain,
in other words, that the time has come for
a junction on a liberal basis of all who
desire to see the republic perpetuated, and
the revenue OF the government collected in
an equitable manner. The lines are to be
reformed, and now at the beginning, every
effort should be made, every concession
granted, that will tend to bring together
the friends Of just tariff, and of that form
of government which has enabled us to
become prosperous people nearly 50,O00,-
900 strong.

Captain Eads' Ship Railway.


The Scientific american Of this week CON
tains two full page illustrations of Captain
Eads' proposed railway for transporting
ships with their cargo across continents.
Captain Eads claims by his plan to be
able to take loaded ships of the largest
tonnage from one ocean to the other across
the Isthmus OF Panama, as readily MS can
be done by a canal after the Lessup plan
and at a much less cost for engineering
construction.
The project is certainly bold and ingen.
ous and the protector anticipates no seri-
ous difficulties in carrying forward his en-.
terprise. The engravings referred TO in
the Scientific american show the proposed
construction OF not only the railroad, but
the appliances for transferring the ships
from the water to the rail-

cravings, illutrative Of engineering works,
inventions and new discoveries which ap.
pear weekly, the Scientific american has
during the past year, devoted considerable
space to illustrating and describing leading
establishments devoted to different manu-.
featuring industries.
This feature has added very much to
the nttractiveness and usefulness of the pa

CARD OF THANKS.

To the members of the Garfield Guards
and Garfield Club, who honored me with
a serenade last Tuesday evening, owe an
apology and thanks. An apology for the
seeming discourtesy of not arising and ac-
knowledging the compliment, and thanks
for the honor. But the truth is, gentle
men, 1 had not become sufficiently aroused
to fully comprehend my relation to the
sweet strains which we've filling the air
around me and mingling with my half
awake dreams, until you had given three
cheers and were slowly retiring; feeling.
fear, that your kind visit had been re-
ceived with cold Indifference. But beg Of
you 10 think so no longer; for your kind
ness is fully appreciated. And should you
ever deem me worthy of repetition Of the
honor, / will arise and acknowledge il con
the spot" even il have not time to clothe
my etheridl form in garments more substan.
tial than the gauzy vapor of the moon

changed from last week, except it has been
decided that New Jersey and Nevada have
gone Democratic, by small maiorities, with
California in the balance, one day Repub-

Of that State, which will give him 2l4'
