The Democratic Ticket Sweeps the
State From New York Bay
to Lake Erie,
And Rolls Up Over One Hundred
Thousand Majority for Grover
Cleveland, for Governor.

THE election in New York shows that
a united Democratic party, supporting
q first-claSs candidate, can always win.
The triumph OF CLEVELAND Is s.o.o
than Democratic victory. 1t meansa
sudden and disastrous end to ARTHUR's
hopes for Republican nomination for
President, and that he failed to rally in
dependent voters inAthe cause of the
spoilsmen and maehinists. This elec-
ton is the answer of the people to the
challenge Of the politicians, and one of
such a character as, will make itself
felt during the remainder of the AR
THURIAN term.
Ifit but encourages a perseverance
in machine methods and boss
dictation it will herald the rout of the
Republican party in 1884. II, however,
the Jonahs be thrown overheard and the
decks are changed, the Republican par
ty may havea fighting chance in the
next election.

ALBANY, \. Y, November The Albany
Journal rep. organ) says: THE meaning
of it is this: The party which gave the
eighty-six electoral votes of New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio to Garfield has
been betrayed, insulted, and sold into
bondage. The man they elected is in his
grave, and q man whom they would have
buried under 100000 adverse majority,
could they have reached him without
striking the head of the ticket, is President
instead. The ideas which were decis-
lively repudiated at Chicago rule in
the White House. The methods which
made Grantism stencil in the
nostrils of honest men, are engrafted
once more upon the Administration. All
the old denominations Of 1925 are foisted
upon the party sgain-and added to them
are fresh scandals incident to the enthrone-
ment, for the first time in American his
tory, of the practical machine politician in
Washington. The,rottenness OF New York
City's politics has come perilously near the
Executive Mansion in past Administra-
tions. 1t reigns supreme there now-and
men like Jay HubbelI, William Malone,
Frank Hatton, Speaker Kiefer and Stephen
B. French are its chosen exponents.
"The election of Cleveland means simply
that the Republicans who believe in Gar
| field believe also in their country and their
party, and are determined that neither the
dead Presidents memory, nor the cOuntry's S
name, nor the party's good repute shall be
spattered and blackened by the selfish, con-
scienceless and desperate adventures Of
| the machine"

A New Orator.

Chicago Times.l
1t is worthy Of remark that Colonel
Villas, whose fame as an orator is fully
established, gained his prestige in
Chicago. The first effort which at
tracted the attention of the country
was his speech at the banquet of the
Army ofthe Tennessee, in November,
1879. 1t was made in the same hall
where, on Wednesday night, he re-
sponded to the toast of Andrew
jackson" To presence at once com
manding and graceful lie adds an in
dispensable condition OF success in
oratory, a clear, sonorous voice, of
large compass and exquisite moduls-
ton.
His eulogy of "Old Hickory" was
not indiscriminate adulation of the
idol Of his admiration made by Esere
worshiper. His faults we're admitted
but the ivy Of affection and the
laurel oil renown, rich with the growth
of years, now hide with their beauty
the scars and seams of human weak
ness in the splendid tower of Gods
architecture in man." The rhetoric of
the eulogy, welded to the graceful and
torclble delivery, deepened and broad
ened the fame of the orator whose first
effort here two and half years ago
gave him his conspicuous position as a
speaker. He who is worthy and would
become famous will see that Chicago
is the true field for the exercise Of his
endeavor.

Story plantation on Friday last.
There are $50 acres of cane
on the place, of which
one.thlrd was under water by next
day, when the crevasse was $50 feet
wide and ten feet deep. The food
from this crevasse passes by canals

thought that the lake is not large
enough to receive and throw off the
great volume Of water which is now
filling it, and that, in consequence,

THE high tax birds -nesters are in
for harmony, if everybody will roost
on their limb of the tree. They are
for principle now, although they pre-
sumably were not when they supported
504 in 1879. We are aware that
there is broad distinction to be
drawn between those who merely
acquiescod in the 1908 and the
small class who now insist
that no settlement is hon
cradle that does not come from the
bondholder. The great majority Of
those who voted for Judge John V.
Wright would not do So again, and do
not approve a settlement at 1908,
even without the coupon feature. The
attempt Of a little fraction of faction
to dominate the whole Demo
cratic party aud dictate what
all the low tax Demo
Gratis and the conservative State
credit Democrats shall do is about as
absurd as the proclamation of the
three tailors in TroOly .Street London,
who issued the famous proclamation
beginning: We, the people Of
England" The masses are disposed
more than ever to face this question,
fairly and squarely, and had it not
been for the agitation OF the
same extreme elements that are
now trying to prevent the
uniGcation of the Democratic party
the debt question would have been
disposed of satisfactorily long ago.
There is manifestly a disposition to
come together on high middle ground,
not SO much perhaps, at an exactfgure
agreed upon beforehand as upon a
broad line Of general policy, to make
some reasonable concessions. This
is preliminary work. A definite basis
should be specified by the general
convention. Fifty and three was sug-
gested as the highest figure this journal
would care to favor several months
ago, and the public mind seems to be
fixing down on this line. The folly
of the tax paying Democracy of this

A REIGN Of terror prevails in the
suburbs of the city in the Fifth Civil
District. A set of desperate hood
lums have been running rough shod
over the people for months. AS q
elimination Of these troubles an ex-
cellent young man was assassinated
last night in cold blood on the high
way, as described elsewhere. The
citizens are aroused to sense
OF their danger and the i'm.
potency of ordinary legal
means to protect their property and
lives. The time has come for action,
vigorous action, such as is required Of
men:acting in defense of their lives and
those dearest to them. There is no
use in mincing words or loading shot
guns with peas or bird shot. A meet
ing is called for to night, at which
some decisive measures will no doubt
be taken. Chicken thieves 90 to the
hen-roosts armed to the teeth, and
the citizen who attempts to protect
his property against the vandals does
SO at the peril of his life. One quiet
citizen has been shot at several times
for venturing out at night on his own
premises, The people should take
enough Of the law in their own hands
to clear the neighbOrhOod of the
prOwling vagabonds and desperadoes
who have outlawed themselves and
broken up the peace of community.
