a wear, on u bet. In the United States
every one bets on the presidential cleo
ton. Especially was this the case in
Washington last week Business was
positively almost suspended during the
long continued doubt as to which can
didates stood first There was so much
money tied up on wagers that there
was little currency left for circulation,
and trade WAS at stand still.
Washington, Nov. II 1884
Clevelands election means, to Gov
eminent employees % revolution, at
least, in Washington. TO be, or not
to be turned out of Office. That is the
question with them. Whether it is
better to trust to the protection Of civ
il service rules, or prepare to resign
after the ides of March.
The more hopeful talk about Demo-
ocrat;c party's pledges to conservatism,
the necessity Of making some show Of
consistency, and say it cannot afford to
be rash. But Others argue; there Will
be a great party behind Cleveland and
his Cabinet, when it is formed, who
are hungry for Office, Their request
have not been regarded for more thau
twenty years. They will demand a
clearing out of all the Government de
partments and their demands cannot be
ignored. We had just us we'll pack
our trunks. Civil service rules Will
not amount to anything wien the
Democrats want our places. HeSpond-
ency is widespread and profound, and
so dolpful are the c0untenHnces OF the
returning office holders who went to
their various states to vote, that the
trains bringing them daily to the city
have been compared to funeral trains.
OF course there will be many changes
here with the advent of Il Democratic
administration. Those in the proml-
nent offices and working politicians will
be displaced. But outside OF official
circles it is not thought there will be
those sudden sweeping changes and
meIodramatlc upheavals that persons
nearly interested would predict.
There has also been much comment
as to how business interests OF the city
would be affected by the change. 1t
is conceded by those who are supposed
to know that temporary depression is
inevitable, but the fact is recognized
that there will be just as many office
holders under another, and that they
will draw the same salaries, W Alch viii
be spent for the sane necessaries of
life. The customers will change but
the custom will be very much the
same. Many families will retrench their
expenses between now and the fourth
of March, and credits will be given less
literally, perhaps, bat it is thought
matters will adjust themselves quickly
to The lnow outlook, and business men do
not anticipate any long lived trouble
from the change.

= * Close votes are
nothing rev in this country. Mr.,
Hendricks, who is one Of the loudest
shouters in the present instance, knows
that we'll enough. Or if he does not,
he need go 10 further than to the GU
bcrnatorial vote Of Indiana in 1872 IN
order to refresh lis memory. He was
elected governor Of Indiana that wear
BY a plurality OF only las votes, aud
yet the capitol was not overturned nor
did the heavens fall.
As early as 1924, il the contest be-
tween Adams and jackson, there was
Il difference Of only 100 in Maryland S
vote on these two candidates, in favor
Of Adams; but it did not occur to Ola
Hickory to incite his minority to sack
the cities and tear up the soil of Mary
land. Four years later that state vo-
ted on the same candidates, and al.
though there were nearly $4,000 addl-
tional votes divided between them,
Adams still led by l,lSl. In 1857
when Clay and Jackson were the rival
candidates, Delaware gave Clay but lO6
more votes than Jackson got, and III
Maryland there was an actual dl'Ier-
ence of only four votes, Clay getting
1850 and jackson 1876.
This is healthful precedent for Mr..
Hendricks to look to, remembering
that his party prototype did not, there
fore demand the execution Of the Mary
land tribunal. The vote in New Jer-
sey that year stood Clay % 500; Jack,
son % $50, a triAing, yet all-important
difference Of 4G4 votes. In 1876, when
Harrison and Van Buren, were the pc
titiouers Of suffrage, there was a differ
ence in Connecticut of only 1853 votes,
in Louisiana Of 27O, in Mississippi Of
POI and in New Jersey CT 515.
In 1870, when Harrison ran against
Van Buren,, there was a difference In
the vote in Maine Of only 4ll,in Mich,
of1,S35, in Pennsylvania Of ,945, in a
total vote Of 28G ,097, and in Virginia
Of 1892 Between Clay and Polk in
1914 there were differences III Lonisi-
ana Of 10l votes, in New Jersey 6?3,
and in Tennessee, Folks home, Clay
led him by just lib votes. In 1913,
between Taylor and Cass, the difference
between votes for the two was, in Ala
bama 86l, in Delaware 523, in Iowa
1909, in Mississippi 6l5, and in Nir-
ginia, l,462.
The race Of Pierce against Scott in
1852 was corrcspondingIy close in some
states, the advantage being in Delaware
only IS votes, in Louisiana 1902, in
North Carolina 6S6 and in Tennessee | )
$50. In the memorable and remark
able contest of 1850 Lincoln only hal
657 votes the better CT Douglas in Cal
ifornla. In 1864 Mcclellan got only
C!2 more votes than Lincoln in Della
ware. In California in 1853 Grant re-
ceived but 500 more votes than Sey-
mour and in Oregon but lG4 majority.
In 1872 again, between Greedy and
Grant, Delaware held her party votes
within 900 Of each other.

OCCASIONALLY some paper points with
pride to the TACT that Texas can be made the
banner Democratic State of the Union. More
is the pity. Ifthe political parties 10 Texas
were more evenly divided there would be
more progress, and consequently higher
government. A Democrat Of ordinsry ability
can no doubt govern Democrats, but it would
take better one to properly and success
fully govern two parties whose balance was 10
any way nearly equal. The Legislature oil
Texas to-day is but Democratic convention,
and it is simply divided up into little factions,
whose only interest is self and whose care for
the welfare Of the State is nothing. Texas
will be the banner State when the parties be-
come relatively even, and then we will have
an administration to be proud of, but not
before.

The New York Times says: at is idle to
assert, as the advocate Of strict Sunday legis-
lation usually do assert, that the laws forbid
ding travelling on Sunday or the opening Of
any public exhibition on that day, are meant
solely to secure to public immunity from Sun
day labor. Everyone knows that such laws
are passed in accordance with the theory that
the Fourth Commandment has made the
Sunday sacred, and that work or pleasure on
that day are alike sinful. This is the view Of
only small part Of the Protestant world, and
the State has no more right TO enforce it than
1t has to enforce the observance OF Good
Friday or the Jewish Sabbath. 1t is time
that Sunday legislation was kept within is
proper province-that OF securing to the peo-
pie the benefit Of much needed holiday. On
no other possible ground can Sunday legisla-
ton be sustained in county where the Leg
islature can know no distinction between
Catholic and Protestant, between Jew and
Gentle"
