TALLY: Several causes combined TO defeat

doubt, was the bitter factional fights in the
party, which were confined to no particular
section, but extended all over the country.
In no section was the party united. Perhaps
in New York this feeling was manifested
more openly than anywhere else. There was
no man in the State who could say that
Judge Folger was not as good a man, as able
man as Cleveland, and yet he was de-

against the Republicans all over the coun-

INGERsOLL INTERVIEWED
As 20 the Cause OF the GREAT Political
Reaction.

DETROIT. November S-Col. Robert G.
Iugersoll, who lectures here tonight, was in
terviewed this afternoon as to his views on
the political situation, and in answer TO
question as to what caused the great politl-
ca | resction, said, first, extravagant sppro-
priations and second, the refusal to reduce
taxation. At least 81 100000 should have
been taken from the burden borne by the
people: $40. OOO, 900 should have been taken
from sugar. and the entire tax from tobacco.
The Rspublican party should have tsken
such steps that all internal taxation could
in one year from now be abolished. The
people are tired of paying war taxes In time
of peace. They want collectors and treasury
agents and gaugers and all sorts of detect
ives and spies discharged. Third, the Re
publicans should not have postponed tariff
reform. The Tariff Commission was
mistake. The people saw II
was only an affidavit for continuance, a ruse
for delay, and that the Republican party
was not going TO act. Fourth, prominent
Republicans have been trying to kill each
other The great struggle has been Tor

not enough statesmen. The fight against
Cornell was unfortunate. Pennsylvania was
tired of Cameron rule, and everywhere there

The London Finaneier says that the only re-
suit there of the great Democratic tidal wave
which swept over this country on Tuesday
Is to advance the price of Confederate bonds
and increase the speculative feeling in them.
OF course this is all done in the interest of
the Republican party, and will be made use
of as a bugaboo 10 alarm unthinking and ig-
norsut people at the North into the be-
lief that the success of the Democratic party
means the payment of the Confederate
debt and payment for the slaves that were
freed by the war. The best answer that
can be made to all such rot is the
vote of the Democracy of Tennessee en-
the State-debt question. The people OF the
South would vote solidly sgainst pay
ing for slaves or redeeming Confederate
bonds, could such propositions he offered

GROWING out of the uubridled license and

sionally assume airs and prerogsIives not

case of this sort is that of one Lyles, of By

votes ADD the poll-books. These Lyles de-
manded to see, and on being refused
threatened arrest. To avoid this and
prevent any trouble, Mr.. Watson
finally agreed to show him the
books and went to his fathers, where he pro-
cured them, but ON his return to the town
was arrested by Lyles. If there is any law
by which this m an can be made an example
of it ought 10 be invoked. Watson should
have him punished for criminal assault and
intimidation in the performance OF his duty,

Wandering Jew never conceived Of, and he

money, saying that he had no use for it go
long as he could beg food and clothes. II Is
supposed that he had walked more than
10000 miles in making successfully the
tour of Germany, France, Spain, Northern
Africa, Turkey. Italy, Greece, England, the
United States, New Zealand and Australia.
Occasionally, when absolute necessity re-
du1ted, an for instance on shipboard, he
would do a little work, but his apparent
feebleness always excited pity and saved
him from hard labor. He was honest and
harmless; thousands of people, the world
over, thought kindly of him; when he fell
sick he was tenderly nursed, and when he
died his BODY received a decent burial. 1t is
thought that he was a little wrong in the
head, snd his last days were spent in luna

Northumberland Harrison, of the
Connecticut State National Guard, has just
resigned, leaving his position on the heels OF
a charge mace by Lieut.-Gov. Buikeley, the
Republican candidate for governor, that he
had devoted public funds to his own use:
Gov. Bigelow made an examination OF
Harbison's accounts and found that deficit
of $4,000 had just been made good By a
check from business partner OF the quar-
termaster-general As the State had lost
nothing. Gov. Bigelow declined TO interfere;
but HARRISON was at last forced to send in
his resignation. The deficit grew out Of the
unexpected cost of Transporting the First
Regiment homeward by rail, after the visit
to Charleston last year, and good deal Of
political capital has been made out OF the

seems to have been merely technical.
