GORMAN.

The demonstrations recently made
In the East IN favor of Senator A.
p. German are we'll deserved. The
Senator devoted his time faithfully to
the onerous duties of the campaign.
He had nc easy task before him. The
committee bad very little money for
the ! climate expenses of the cam
paign. while the Republicans were
rich enough to buy States and to put
up heavy stakes on bets. There was
treachery in the party to fight against
and Misrepresentation to meet and
refute.
The canvass was conducted with
intelligence, vigor and judgment
The documents put forth were telling
and the meetings were we'll arranged
considering the limited means at the
command Of the committee.
Senator German made no blunder.
His management WIS in strong con-
trast with that Of the Republican
leaders, Elkins and Jones, whose
whole course was full Of mistakes.
The election of Grover Cleveland is
the best testimonial to the value of
Senator Germans services.

GIVE HIM A CHANCE.

Among the journals of the countr.
which violently and bitterly opposed
the election of Grover Cleveland tt
the presidency, not one was more
violent and bitter in its opposition tt
the fortunate candidate than the New
York Sun. But that journal now
seems disposed to lay down its arms,
declare q truce to hostilities and give
MI. Clevt land q chance. Would il
not be quite as well for the peace and
quiet Of the country and for the
dignity of those Republican papers
which have gone into Mysteries over
the defeat Of Blaine, If they would
permit reason to assume her sway
and accept the situation as philoso'
phically as their late most powerful
ally docs. That journal says:
The people have determined that
Grover Cleveland shall be President
Of the United States. They have 90
decided, not because they like Cleve.
land, but because they believe he will
be safer than Blaine. They have
done it resolutely, deliberately,
knowing all about both men. Thanks
to the press on both sides, religious
and political, the controlling facts in
the character and history of each
have been pretty clearly brought be-
fore the public eye, 30 that the popu-
lar Judgment in the 8 may be
described as intelligent and well con-
sidered. The people have voted and
their voting Is to be represented.
While we, who have done our duty
in earnest endeavOrs to prevent such
. decision a. has finally been rem
dered, cannot be expected TO cherish
any sanguine expectations o fgood to
result from the installation of the
elected President, yet we submit to
the peoples will in the hope that the
event may turn out better than our
fears have led US to anticipate. At
least MI. Cleveland must have a fair
chance to show what he can do.
Though by q very narrow plurality,
he Is yet legally and undisputably
elected. His acts, both of commits
sion and of omission, that have been
80 ardently condemned by his oppo-
nents and so steadily justified by his
friends, have now been cordoned
and wiped off the record by this cleo
ton. He starts once more q clean, or
rather q cleansed man, cleansed by
those voters who have chosen him to
the most powerful political Office
among men.
Henceforth, until his admlnistra-
ton is developed, whatever criticism
10 bestowed upon MI. Cleveland
should be directed toward his new
and not his old performances. There
are those who promise that he will
prove himself quite equal to the re-
sponsibillties Of the Presidency. Let
10 hope for the country's sake, that
this promise may be realized; and We
to say that If it should be
30, the fact will not anywhere be
more readily recognized than aulong
those intelligent and high-minded
men who have SO earnestly commended
his election.

NEWARK, N. J. Nov. 2-The
Democrats held a great meeting of
rejoicing tonight. After the parade
Vice-President elect Hendricks, said:
Il is impossible for me to address von
at length. I thank you, men of New
Jersey, for the honor you have done
Governor Cleveland and m,s.lf at
the recent election. (Cheers.) I
know no honor possible to be en-
Joyed by any man greater than
That which Is Expressed In the
confidence of the people. There
Is no mode of expressing that conf.
dence higher than the ballot in the
box. (Cheers.) On the fourth of
this month New Jersey did express
her judgment that we should be the
chief officers of this country. That
Judgment stands, and will stand for
ever, because enough of the other
states have cOncurreu in that iudp-
ment of the nation under the cSnsti
tuition of the United States. For the
part that you have bornein that grave
and responsible work I express to you
my sincere thanks and regards To

YORK Ia part Of the serenading bodv).

special terms. They have done to
one who Is dearer to me than INV
own life, honor tonight. It was i'm
possible that she should be here to
receive this honor at their hands.
1hey desire to express to her
tnelr respect and their regard for
this banner. This beautiful banner
that expresses our mutual love for
Ireland. (Cheers.) On that banner
It was written by herself, Justice to
Ireland" a sentiment that all men
OF all nations and all kindred of the
earth ought to respect and honor.
Justice to ireland that has given to
England her bravest soldiers. Ire
land that has sent to this country of
men who have fought In ali it's
wars; men who have helped develop
this whole land; men who have illus.
trated the virtues Of civilization and |
