The very able correspondent of the Gin
cinnati News Journal telegraphed that pure
and unaduIterated organ on Tuesday night
81 had quite pleasant interview with Mr.
Tiden to-day at his residence at Gramercy
Park. The wronged President looked very
well and was much stronger than l expected
to find him. He was not as frisky as Mr.
Watterson would have the people believe,
but he is certainly himself in mental vigor
and possesses sufficient physical vitality to
be in the ring for the coming presidential
ball. He, OF course, said he was not can
didate for the nomination, BUTT is my opin-
ion he will not refuse the honor, nor wait for
it to be handed to him on silver salver A
unanimous nomination would, l think, be
the thing to strike nearest to his heart. At
being questioned as to how the State would
go, he careful and said there were many
elements in the State contest that made it
uncertain as to the majority, but he thought
the Democrats would undoubtedly carry the
State all of which has been corroborated by
the returns. In bidding the Ex-Governor
farewell 1 could not help thinking of the
great wrong done him and the nation"

THE difference between newspapers and
papers which are not newspapers was again
conspicuousy demonstrated yesterday. The
Sentinel printed flaming headlines stating
1.-THE Democratic Rooster Bobs Up Serenely;"
"All the Great Eastern States but Massachu-
sets Renounce the Republican Party" and
it said editoriallv: THE result in New
York is essentially Democratic victory"
Another of our esteemed contemporaries
printed that "In New York the probabilities
are that Maynard, the Democratic candidate
for Secretary of State, is defeated, and the
Democratic majority of 100000 for Governor
Cleveland was reduced to 10000 and prob
ably even less" The Journal printed the

THE Cincinnati Enquirer is the only Dem
ocratic paper we have seen that even at
tempte to tell the truth about the elections
of Tuesday. Cath" begins his dispatch of
yesterday morning with this paragraph:
1.-THE telegraph will bear you the returns
I can only say that the Republican party
maintains great deal of it's old vitality and
if the election had happened a week later
would have given much greater vote"
The returns indicate large per cent. of
the Republican vote of New York that was
not cast on Tuesday, but which can be relied
on in a presidential year. The news from
New York is very refreshing.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1883-11-08

THE election news badly ratified our Demo-
cratic contemporaries. The Cincinnati News
Journal announced "a sweeping Demo-
cratic victory in New York, and Demo
cratic Legislature in the Empire State OF the
Union" and said editorially:
1.-THE result of yesterdays elections settles
the matter beyond all doubt that the next
President of the United States will be a
Democrat and that the two great Demo-
cratic States of Ohio and New York will
furnish one or both the presidential candi-
dates. There will be much sorrow and con-
sternation among the office-holding mo-
nopolists when they read the returns this
morning and comprehend their true signif-
cance."
The Louisville Courier-Journal said in the
opening sentences of its editorial on the
election:
'View the result from any direction and
the Democrats are the victors. New York
is practically where the election OF last year
placed it-solidly Democratic, even unto the
end of 1884"
But before the article concluded we read:
"In New York the Democratic Secretary
of State has been beaten and both houses of
the Legislature are Republican"
The only real crumb of comfort the C.
can extract is in the suggestive paragraph:
''The Democrats swept everything in Mis-
sissippi."
Our earnest sympathies are with our dis
tressed friends. All the nice little card board
castles they have been so gleefully building
for few months past have been scattered
when forests are rended." 1t was a cold
November wind, and it blew hansel in Oh
the Democratic party.

butthey can treat them better. The energy
evinced in acquiring new colonial possess
ions and in sweeping the seas with the great
est navy the world ever knew, could devise
something for the poor of London. 1t is
not all of life to grab and to
gather to ones self, There is
more in permanent wealth than
the mere matter of acquiring it. If the
great commercial and banking houses of
England would perpetuate themselves they
must save themselves from the people. JUS
tice will win their confidence and co-opera-
ton, while long-continued oppression is GER
tain to invoke hostility that bodies evil of
magnitude. A decent respect for the feel
ings and comfort of the masses brings sure
returns. The Earl of Salisbury,
possessed of his millions, is popu-
lar still with people who never
possessed pound at one time in all their
lives. His conduct has been such, his gen
erosity and fairness have been so marked,
that he is respected and beloved by ALL On
the other hand there are those who, through
their greed and lack OF sympathy, have ar
raigned their dependents against them, and
the fact that their violent deaths are plotted
is discussed as openly as any other event or
probability of the day.
The reform in this thing should be gen
eral, London is not peculiar in this.
Other cities have their poor
by thousands, and their condition
is almost as pitiable. If there be no moral
obligation to come to the rescue of these,
there is unquestionably a selfish reason why
their condition should be ameliorated. Re-
lieved of their distress they would be en-
couraged to become better citizens They
would be better able to add to the wealth and
happiness of the world, and would not be a
standing menace to the peace and quiet of
the communities in which they live. Here
is question of practical politics worthy
the consideration of statesmen. 1t is OF
vastly more importance than who holds the
postoffice at Podunk.

Congress

How long are the police authorities of In
7ianapolis to be permitted to give indul-
gences to law-breakers to violate the statutes
If the State? This is a serious question, and
one to which the Journal has before called
attention. 1t is no light or trifling matter
that superintendent of police, dressed in a
little brief authority and a blue uniform
with two rows of brass buttons, can con-
temptuously set aside the law of the State
and put up his dctum as the supreme rule OF
action. If the superintendent may do it
why not the humblest policeman; and if the
mayor can kick the law overheard why not
a boot-black? And if the law can be sus-
pended for the benefit of a saloon-keeper,
why not for any one elsa burglar, or a
robber, or a murderer, or foot pad, gam
bier or what not? Breaking the law is break
ing the law Law is law, and penalty must
be penalty, or it is worse than a farce-it is a
dangerous mockery. What have Messrs
Murphy, Malott and Frenzel to say to this?
If man shall break into Mr.. Murphy's dry
goods store, or if some forger mulct Mr.
Trenzel's or Mr., Malotts bank, is the law

THE Republican platform in the State of
New York said:
"We believe in the wisdom of the people
in deciding all questions pertaining to the
public welfare, and would accede to the de-
sire of large body of our citizens to submit
to the voters of the State a constitutional
amendment in regard to the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors"
Democratic majority in 1882, 1872, 584; Re-
publican majority in 1888, 10, OO0 1t does
not appear that submission" injured the
Republican party of New York to any ap-
preciable extent

THE New York Tribune of Tuesday said

Estates in the West that are considering
the possibility of prohibition may find some
interesting precedents in the history of the
some provision to the law, which now con-
tains over one hundred sections of the most
stringent character, The latest even en-
powers officers to enter private houses and
search for liquor without i search-warrant.
Nevertheless, the number of places where
liquor is openly sold steadily increases, until
now there is one to every 745 of the popula-
tion-not counting hotels, clubs, etc."

THE New York World of yesterday said:

''The Democratic triumph in New York
State is of no ordinary character. 1t was
more than party success. 1t reaches fur
ther and rises higher than a mere party vic
tory of Democrats over Republicans 1t
means 1884 1t meansa change at Washing
ton. 1t means the people are tired of the
ruling party. 1t means vindication of pop
ular self-government"

time in the nonsense OF trying to carry the

States contested, and the Democratic ticket
will be constructed with that idea in view.
