THE CHIC COUNTY DELEGATION.

However one-sided the vote was in
Ohio county on the Congressional
ticket, it could not have been more
equally divided on the Legislative tick
ct.
Two Democrats and two Republicans
in the House, and one Democrat
and one Republican in the Sen
ate, is about as equal a division
of legislative honors as could have been
made if the two parties had made it by
arrangement.
AS compared with the last delegation,
however, this is loss to the Democra-
cy of one in the House and one in the
Senate. Mr.. WOODS has simply been
transferred from the Senate to the
House. SENATOR SCOTT, who takes
his place, will have as his colleague in
the Senate, Mr. DONAHoO, who holds
over. SENATOR SCOTT is new to Legis.
lative work, and is not very old as a
resident of this district, but is pro-
greSsive man, who has become identi-
fled with the important business ill.,
dustries of this city, and will make a
safe and discreet legislator.
OF the four delegates in the House,
three are lawyers, and one, Mr.. BURT,
is connected with one of our mills.

The TARIFF COMMISSION.

The session Of the Tariff Commission
in this city was exceedingly brief, but
during that short time, members ex-
pressed themselves as having received
some of the most valuable contribu-
tons to their stock of Information they
have yet obtained. Among those
specially named was the paper by Mr..
BROCKUNIER, representing the glass
business, and the paper by Mr.. PIER
SON, representing the pottery business.
The chief result of the work of this
commission will be collection of the
views of practical men upon the various
industries located in all sections of the
country.
1t will, doubtless, be volume of ar
guments in support of high protection,
containing all that can be said on that
side of the question and very little on
the other, and constituting one Of the
most ultra tariff publications in exist
ence.
1t is those industries, chiefly, that
have protection and want to maintain
it, or those that do not have it but are
seeking it that busy themselves with
the work of the Commission. 1t will be
their policy too, to ask more than they
expect in order not to fall below what
they really need. While on the other
hand the classes who are not askingpro-
lection or oppose it, are the inorganic I'd
masses whose business is only indi-
reetly affected by the tariff and hence
do not feel the same inducement to go
before the commission as do those in
terests which are more consolidated.
1t will be part of the work of the
Commission, however, to sift these
views and opinions, and make such
recommendations as an unbiased judg-
ment will warrant.

THE establishment of escort bureaus
satisfies want long felt in great cities,
where young and more mature maidens

The Lesson In Ohio.
Philadelphia TTmes.


The lesson Of Ohio is the lesson of ire
sistible Republican disintegration. It is
not change Of Republican convictions to
Democratic convictions, but 1t is the final
outbreak Of Stalwsrt dissolution. it is the
death knell Of the Stalwart spoils system,
and it presents the grave problem whether
Republication can now regenerate itself
and renew its powder and grandeur. It is
idle TO say that the German vote or the IL
cense question or any other local
or accidental issue has wrought
the revolution. Parties can't be
disintegrated and defeated by local ques-
tons while they are strong in integrity and
patriotic in purpose. 1t was not Know.
Nothingism or the Kansas issue that de-
feated Democratic corruption and democrat
izstion that enabled every question of the
time to distract and disintegrate II. It
was unequal to its own regeneration, and
it fell hopelessly in the race. 1t is so
with Republicanism now, and Ohio simply
starts the tide of Republican defeat that
will sweep over Pennsylvania, New York.
New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana, and
Illinois may be greatly bent if not broken
in the storm.

THERE Is an agitation commencing
at the East'for an earlier day for the
annual Thanksgiving, now fixed by
general consent on the last Thursday
of November. The ChlGrehm1n, lead

earlier day Is demanded, on the ground
, that IS a thanksgiving for the fruits OF
the earth It should be observed as pc
Rod Of the year when the surroundings
are such as are suggestive Of the recent
ingathering of the harvest; which is
certainly not the case in the latter part

TEE POLITICAL SITUATION IN VIE.
CHINA


Not among the least important Of the
approaching elections is that Of Vir-
ginla, although the campaign in that
state h notsttracting somuch attention
as those in New York and Pennsyl-
vania.
The Baltimore Ssn is specially well
informed upon Virginia politics, and in
a review OF the situation makes the
statement that the indications Of the
Congressional canvass point all one
way--to the overthrow Of boesism-on
the seventh of November next.
Time enough has elapsed to give the
discordant elements of the coalition
parties opportunity to display them
selves. Both the Readjuster and the
Republican parties to the coalition have
split. The former have divided into
Malone and anti-AIahone factions,
while third section Of the Readjuster
party, under Massey's leadership, have
renouneed Readjusterism as a dead is
sue, and have returned to the ranks OF
the Democratic party. The Republicans
have ceased also to act together, part
only adhering to their bargain with
Malone, while the remainder, compris-
ing large proportion Of the cOlored
population, have made straight out Re-
publican or anti-Mahone nominations.
The sum of the above facts is, there
fore, this: That MALONE will lose
largely from both the Democratic-Re-
adjuster and the Republican eadjuster
wings of his army, and is most probably
marching the remainder to political
Waterloo. This will be more evident
when it Is recalled that the majority
with which he carried the State last fall,
when he controlled ali the elements
Of his past success, was only about
1900 That he will not lose enough OF
this vote to beat him, say 1900 ballots,
would seem to be incredible, consid-
eriug that some of his most influential
supporters, such as MASSEY, LYBRooK,
HALE, NEwBERRY, WARD, MAILLEY,
REYNOLDS, ETC., have abandoned him
aud joined his opponents. The fight
made against him by anti-Readjuster
Republicans is specially bitter. DAw-
SON, the eolored Republican candidate
for Congressman-at-large, is an active
eanvasser, and little doubt can be en-
tertained that he will draw enough
votes from WISE to elect MASSEY, who
will poll almost the whole Democratic
strength.

On the whole, it wouldn't be bad idea
for Mr.. Green B. Raum to resign. He has
ostensibly been the Commissioner OF In
ternal Revenue for some time past, but has
spent the greater part Of the summer IN
political wire pulling and pipe laying out
in Illinois. The duties of a chief revenue
officer of the Government, and Of Politt-
cal boss, do not go we'll toge her. II Mr.
Ranm,s inclinations and talents lead him
to prefer 'looking after" the politics OF his
State, and plotting for his own election to
the Senate, to attending the business OF
his bureau at Washington, he should give
place to man who has higher apprecia'
ton of the duties of public servant.

serving. This matter was laid aside
and Ferry proceeded to speak upon the
Morrill, tariff bill, announcing that ne
was a protectionist from principle. AT
the conclusion of Ferry's remarks, the
pension arrears bill was again called
up to allow Call to speak on it. Lap

WE ACKNOWLEDGE many comph-
mentary notices from our democratic
contemporaries over the state drawn out
by a rumor from Washington. The
Waco Examiner says:
Mr.. Newcomb, editor of the San

with having aspirations anent the San
Antonio postofice. We had rather
see strai ghtout republican, like New
comb, capture the place than one OF
those republicans who is neither fish,

And yet Mr.. Arthur seems to have
taken liking, so far as the federal Of
fees in Texas are concerned, to the
doubtful kind of republicans.
Old Ben. Baker, of the Colorado citi-
zen, remarks:
A Washington dispatch to the Gal
weston News says there IS probabll-
ity of Mr.. Jas. P. Newcomb, editor of
EVENING LIGHT, receiving the appoint
ment of postmaster at San Antonio.
Newcomb would MAKE good officer,
faithful and attentive to his duties, and
conscientious in the discharge of them.
In short, he is very clever, indeed, and
the only thing we can say against him,
having known him from his teens, is
that he is too partisan.

in:
1t is stated that J. P. Newcomb, ed
itor of the EVENING LIGHT, has at last
been appointed postmaster at San An
tonic, vice Manning, removed. Well,
Newcomb has ''hankered" after fed
eral appointment for long time, and
after all it is but a justreward tor faith
full services rendered the republican

Now, there is SO much good will and
kindness exhibited by our democratic
brethren that even if it should all turn
out to be an idle rumor we shall not
regret the occasion.
