Mr.. BLAINE, smarting with defeat,
delivered an incendiary and unpatriot-
ic speech at Augusta, Tuesday night.
The whole burden of it was the bloody
Shirt" and it stamps him as danger
Gus partiZan, unfit and unworthy to be
President. By what right does he APP
peal to the war passions of men, when
re refused to fight for the liberty he
pretends to value SO highly? By the
self-constituted authority of a dema-
gogue. He tries to make a point by
shrieking that the negroes at the south
are not allowed to choose presidential
electors. Did he ask himself how many
electors the millions of northern demo-
Gratis chose in 1880? Does he think it
right that the millions of democratic
voters of the north should be denied the
privilege of choosing presidential cleo
tors ? Out upon such illogical, infam-
mable trash Out upon such tricksters
and demagogues as JAMES g. BLAINE !
And let us thank GOD that the election
of GROVER CLEVELAND unites the
country into one patriotic whole, with
no North, no South, no East, no West.

Very Cheeky.
it is SO.

1t is superlatively cheeky on the part
of republican prints and individuals to
keep shouting that the democrats are
hungry for Office, and that they are en-
gagged in unseemly scrambles for the
''spoils." These remarks spring from
the bitterness Of defeat. For the past
twenty-four years the republicans have
enjoyed the public patronage. They
have been involved in all sorts of scram-
bles, intrigues and open ruptures be-
cause of it. 1t has developed intercine
strife and caused irreconcilable differ
ences in the grand old party" 1t has
been the cause of its final destruction.
And in the face of these facts it is ri
diculOuS to hear republicans speak of
democratic scrambleS. We trust that
the national party, the party of the con-
stitution and honest government, will
comport itself in a becoming manner
now that it has regained power. We
believe that it will. Democrats, as a
rule, are manly, generous and patriotic
fellows, and may be trusted to manage
their own affairs. At least no atten-
ton will be paid to the present ebulli-
ton of republican bile.

It Is Finished.

The official count in New York closed
last Saturday at six o'clock, P. NJ, and
CLEVELAND and HENDRICKS were de-
clared to have received a fair plurality
of 1146 votes. That act rung the cur
tain down on two weeks of anxiety,
false claims, brag and buster. 1t was
stated in the Sunday prints that the re-
publican committees had known for a
week before that the state had gone
against them, and this fact, together
with the repeated claim made by Mr.
BLAINE that he had carried the state,
was a piece of criminal folly for which
Mr.. BLAINE and the gentlemen COM
posing the committees will be made to
suffer in popular estimation.
But it is finished. The long drawn
agony is over, and the REFLECTOR con-
graduates its readers on the fair cleo
ton of CLEVELAND and HENDRICKS.
Business has already resumed its nor
NAL condition, and while the mere fact
of Gov. CLEvELAND's election will not
advance wheat, corn and other values,
our readers may rest assured that the
business of the country will be better
and frmer than it has been during the
past five months. Gov. CLEvELAND's
administration will be conducted on
honest business principles, and business
will thrive.
In the meantime, let us rejoice over
the fact that corrupt and dishonest
rule has been broken, and do our best
to help President-elect CLEVELAND and
Vice-President elect HENDRICKS full
fill the promises of reform and honest
government which have been made in
their behalf.
The REFLECTOR believes that Amer
lean politics have taken new and bet
ter departure.

The Hon. j. R. BURTON, who is a
strong candidate for Speaker of the
next House of Representatives, will
vote for resubmission. The republican
ballots with ''for'' and against resub-
mission on them, didn't amount to any
thing. But we believe we are justified
in saying that the amendment will not
be resubmitted. The Capital says that
the Legislature is largely opposed to re-
submission. If any republican resub-
missionists are to be fooled we are not
sorry for them. We told them how it
would be if MARTIN should be elect
ed. In the meantime, we hope that
Mr.. BURTON will make as good race
for the Speakership as he did for re-
election.

A Magnetic Man.

Mr.. BLAINE tried his magnetism On
the election returns, but it failed to do
him any good. The great uncertainty
which for long time clouded the re-
suit in New York was due to the fact
that Mr.. BLAINE persisted in claiming
the state in the face of contrary figures.
1t did not matter to him that his per-
siStency and unmanly stubbOrnness
might lead to riot and bloodShed. He
needed the state and he was determined
to get it if possible. Hence the claim
of the national republican committee
and two or three republican journals.
The respectable element of the republic
can party conceded Mr.. CLEvELAND's
election reasonably early. Mr., BLAINE's
selfish, unmanly and unpatriotic quail
ties were well illustrated in the persis
tency with which he claimed state he
knew he had lost. With desperate in
genuity he tried to circumvent the ex-
press will of the people, and at the ex-
pense of civil war he was ready, if pos
sible, to take that which did not belong
to him. His patriotism, never rated
very high, was here completely de-
strOyed.t The intent and not the
act makes the crime, and Mr..
BLAINE stands as a traitor before the
country to-day. But he is beaten. He
is hereafter dead to political life. His
white plume droops sadly. And the
American people, after the self-reveal-
ment Of his true character, ARE glad that

The democratic party of Kansas has
been imbued with new life. With the
impetus of national victory encourag-
ing it, it has thrown off its lethargy and
hOpelessness and comes to the front
clothed in all the dignity, strength and
resolution of its majesty. Cast down,
insulted and reviled by a strongly dom
inant and successful party, it has yet
grown in numbers year after year.
From now on it will enter political con-
tests with greater spirit and better
organization The immense and spon-
taneous meetings that have been held
in all parts of the state celebrating
CLEvELAND's election, attest this fact.
All hail to the hon-hearted and imper
ishable democracy of Kansas.

The official count in Chicago has CIV
en- the democrats another State Senator,
and the next Illinois Legislature will be
democratic on joint ballot. This in
sures the election of L. S. Senator to
succeed JOHN \. LOGAN. Poor LO-
GAN! Practically, he is in a bad shape.
That glorious old hOoSier, Vice-PreSi-
dent-elect HENDRICKS, carried his own
state almost bodily into the demo-
cratic camp. What contrast between
him and LOGAN, who lost the Legisla-
ture in his own state and almost lost it
on national issues. The two Vice
Presidential candidates must stand be-
fore their home people in different atti-
tudeS.

There is nothing narrow or mean
about that gallant and manly democrat
GEORGE W. CLICK. AS soon as he
knew that he was defeated he tele-
graphed his congratulations to Col.
MARTIN and expressed the hope that
his administration would be as sue
cessful as his victory was complete. :"
And Mrs. CLICK, sharing her husbands
broad and generous spirit, sent grace
full tribute to Mrs. MARTIN in the shape
of handsome boquet of flowers. Gov.
CLICK is stronger than defeat, stronger
than SANDER and calumny. He will
continue to live in the hearts of the
Kansas democracy.

A Valuable Document.
AN AUTOGRAPH LETTER FROM GROVER
CLEVELAND TO PROF. TILLOTSON.

Last July, after the Chicago conven-
ton nominated Grover Cleveland for
President, Prof, TillOtson, the talented
blind musician known to all of our read
erS, wrote letter to the Governor ask
ing him if he was the same Grover
Cleveland that was in the Institution
for the Blind in 1858 and 1854. If he
was, the Prof. as a former friend but as
republican, wished to extend his con-
CALCULATIONS. A week had hardly passed
before the Prof. received from the Coy
ernor the following letter, in his own
handwriting and not in that of paid
clerk:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, /
Albany, July "a, 1884. {
DEAR JERRY am the same Grover Cleveland
that was in the Institution for the Blind in 1853
and 1854 l remember you very well, and long
after you and left there you came TO Buffalo, l
think, and sang at concert. tried to See You
then and tailed.
You used to sing the ''Passing Bell" and one
Verse began, ''WOuld that lay sleeping" &c.
went to the Institution one year ago last De-
We were there. l saw Anna COX and Stephen
Babcock.
/ was very glad to hear from you and to know
that you had not forgotten me.
Yours Very Truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
Just nominated for the highest office
in the gift of the people and with the
cares of the great state of New York on
his shoulders, the Governor yet remem-
bered his old friend of thirty years ago
and found time to write to him, in his
own hand, the foregoing letter recalling
companionship which the average
man would have forgotten. 1t speaks
volumes in favor of President-elect
Cleveland'S character.
Gov. Cleveland and Prof. Tillotson
were together at the Asylum in New
York. The Prof. says that young
Grover was large, fine looking, con-
scientiouS lad at that time. He was
about Is years of age and possessed a
fine organism and warm heart. The
song, The Passing Bell,' affected
Grover and his younger brother, who
has since become Presbyterian minis
ter, to tears. The Prof. dwells linger-
ingly on this pleasant period of his life,
and speaks kindly of the excellent quail
tiles of heart and mind possessed by
Gov. Cleveland when a boy. A great
many people would like to possess the
letter which the genial Prof. has in his
keeping, but he thinks too highly of it
to part with it. The writing is fine
and even feminine, tolerably rapid
and hard to read. He lifts his pen fire.
quently from the paper and some of
the letters are separately formed while
others are run together without regard
to Spencerian or other rules and forms.

The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1884-11-20

The total vote of 1880 was 201 POI q.
in 1884 it had grown to 264, 767, an in
crease of So $3.50. OF this increase, the
republicans have 81 1857, a gain of tri-
fie more than % per cent; the democrats
have 80 ,249, gain of more than 80 per
cent. The per cent. of democratic
gain, therefore, just about doubles the
republican per cent. of gain. The
greenback vote decreased :, S07, or about
Is per cent. The prohibition vote did
not figure in 1880, but amounts to 4 ,2T7
in 1854.
