In conversation with General Carr, Secre-
taTy of State this morning, your correspond
eDt was informed that that courteous official
is in complete ignorance of any interview
alleged to have been held with himself, for
which the New York Times could justly in
fict the editorial csstigation bestowed by
that paper upon him this morning.
1T is" said be, ridiculous to suppose
that the matter OF my politics can play any
part in the performance of my duty as 8
member of the State Board of Canvassers.
L believe am too old mau
to begin political trickery. My associates
upon the Board are men for whom l have
the highest esteem and most profound re-
spect. l d trust any one of them to do all
the work required by the State Board with
out any of the rest being present, if the law
allowed it. / do not anticipate that the
Board will have any difficulty at all about
this business. believe the returns from the
various counties will come in in perfectly
straight manner, and that our duties, which
are mainly ministerial will be no more ard q.
GUS than ever before. AS for supposing tn at
have any special authority over the re.
turns, it is absurd, for the law distinctly pro-
vides that three copies shall be sent, one by
mail to the, Governor, one by mail to my
Office, and third by special messenger"
When questioned closely as to his views
concerning the powers of the State Board
the General managed to contradict himself
several times, claiming in one breath that 1t
was his opinion the board could not go be-
hind the returns as sent in, and in the next
breath admitting that evidences of fraud or
well supported protests would authorize the
board in returning the returns for correc-
ton and even in summoDing witnesses. 1t
must not be understood that there was any
thing like an apparent effort on the part of
the Secretary of State to mislead your CORE
spondent. He seemed rather to be cropping
his way in The midst of a problem which
was extremely dark to himself. He said, in
concluding the interview, that if the re-
turns show Governor Cleveland to be elected
he wants to see him go in without a mo-
ment's delay and with hurrah.

A Man Who Bet on Taylor.

at the table OF the Eel Paso the reporter was
introduced, in his professional capacity, to
big, burly, pleasan t-faced man. whose man.
ner indicated that if he wasn't boss of all
Texas he had pretty much the biggest share
in maintaining her prosperity. The indi-
vidual in question was Colonel J. I.
Chidesher, proprietor and operator of a
stage line from Fort Worth to Fort Yuma,
In Arizona Territory. In his idea there
were but two great enterprises on earth

Coming up from Fort WORTH to Dallas he
told how he made a fortune betting on Gen.

Presidency. He said
II bet everything l had, money, house

Not 20 Rad After All.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The Philadelphia
Press, in common with the New York Trib-
une, promised the country that as soon as
Cleveland was elected, should that frightful
calamity befall the country, the manufac.
tureTs would lock out 1000, 600 employees, or
at least reduce their wages to fifty cents a
dsy. and on the 9TH of March next all the
Custom-houses would be sold and absolute
free trade would be let loose upon the coun-
try TO complete its destruction. The Press,
this morning, has decided to postpone this
calamity. 1t has suddenly recollected that
the Republicans will have a majority in
the Senate for two years longer at least,
and the House is much less terrible than
was threatened. The Press finds that the
great battle was fought on the tariff issue,
and protection won. 1t congratulstes its
readers that the Democratic majority in the
Forty-ninth Congress will be only twenty.
FIVE, whereas it will be forty or forty-fye,
and it enumerates sundry members of the
present House who committed the crime of
voting for the Morrison bill who, it says, will
not be members of the next Congress. though
several Of them are Internationally re-
elected. Wherever q man who voted for the
Morrison bill failed to get back to Congress,
the Press Is convinced that he was defeated
on the tariff issue, but il assumes the tariff

protectionists in the Second and Third Illi-
nois Districts.

nIust Give Un. a
[sprinefield Republican. ]

The Republicans must give it up. Grover
Cleveland is elected the next President oil
the United States and will be insugurated
on the 4th of March next. The candidate
and campaign of falsehocd fall together in
mutual ruin. The grand old partv-we use
the words IN no satiric sense-which has
governed the country for twenty-four years
saving the Union, freeing the slave and re-
trieving financial disaster, goes down, not in
honor and honorable defeat, but in disgrace
and behind a corrupt, venal and shifty
leader. 1t fell when it nominated Blaine
and before vote had been cast. When II
ran up his name to the masthead Ii insulted
the honesty and decency of the country; il
mistook the whoop of the Chicago mob fol
the honest convictions and the sober charsc
ter of the people of the United States. BY
the same act il both necessitated and it de-
fed revolution-and revolution has come.

Let Us Give Him a Fair Chance.


The people have determined that Grover
Cleveland shall be President of the United
States. They have so decided, not because
they like Cleveland, but because they be.
lieve he will be safer than Blaine. They
have done it resolutely, deliberately, know
ing 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, so that the popular
judgment in the case may be described as
intelligent and well-considered. The peo-
pie have voted, and their voting is to be re-
spected.
While we, who have done our duty in ear
nest endeavors to prevent such a decision as
has finally been rendered, can not be ex.
pected to cherish any sanguine expectations
of good to result from the installation of the
elected President, We yet submit to the peo-
ple's will in the hope that the event may
turn out better than our fears have led US to
anticipate. At least Mr.. Cleveland must
have fair chance to show what he can do,
ThoHgh by a very narrow plurality, he is
yet legally and undisputably elected. His
acts, both of commission aud omission, that
have been 80 srdently condemned by his
opponents and so steadily justified by his
friends. have now been condoned and wiped
off the record by this election. He starts
once more a clean, or rather a cleansed man,
cleansed by those voters who have chosen
him to the most powerful political Office
among men.
Henceforth, until his administration is
developed, whatever criticism is bestowed
upon Mr.. Cleveland shoald be directed to-
ward his new and not his old performances.
There are those who promise that he will
prove himself quite equal to the response
bilities of the Presidency. Let us hope, for
the country's sake, that this promise may be
realized; and we undertake TO say that If il
should be so, the fact will not anywhere be
more cordially recognized than among those
intelligent and high-minded men who have
so earnestly commended against his election,

Justice to President Arthur,
New York Times.l

An erroneous statement crept into the re-
ports of the Times yesterday to the effect
that President Arthur Twas summoned from
the Fifth Avenue Hotel' to take part in a
conference with lMr. Jay Gould, Elk. Cover.
nor a. B. Cornell. Mr.. Stephen B. Elkins,
Chairman B. F. Jones and other persons who
are trying by means which are nothing short
of revolutionary to save Mr.. Blaine from the
defeat which the voters of the country have
Justly inflicted upon him. We regret that
such mistake should have been made for
the President is not training in that kind of
political company. His conduct throughout
the long and bitter canvass has shown no de-
parture from the course demanded by thu
dignity and properties of his position, an /
there is no reason to suspect him of any pur.
pose to change it now.

gentlemen who had been invited to be
present. Governor Cleveland wrote

meeting. l preferred Thurman to all
men for President and deeply regre. his
defeat, 1t was due him and the honor of
Ohio that he should have had the solid
vote, and for that / worked. Those who
opposed it opposed the popular will of
the party and weakened and defeated
Thurman by dividing his vote in favor of
a candidate who had no following what
ever outside of the state. That was a
blunder, worse, as Talleyrand says, than
crime. But VT must condone all and
heartily support Cleveland, the nominee.
With Thurman Ohio was safe to the
nominee. Let us work and hope to make
Cleveland's election. Public welfare re-
quires the defeat Of Blaine. Ohio must
do her share to bury personal defeats, and

was received with demonstrations. Let
tiers were also read from Governor Hoadly,

speech of the evening and was warmly
