Chairman Hensel's Hopes.
RELYING UPON THE DEMOCRATS OF THE
INTERIOR TO OVERCOME THE
CITY's VOTE.

The past week has been one Of un-
usual activity at the rooms of the Dem
ocratic State committee at Philadel-
phia and the managers there feel greatly
encouraged with the condition of the
party in the State, as it may be judged
by the requests for speakers and the
reports from meetings that have been
held. Despite the confidence with
which tie Republicans say that their
majority in Pennsylvania will be any
where from $4,000 to $4,000, the Dem.
ocratic committee will concede no such
figures, nor, indeed, any Republican
majority. Chairman Hensel declares
with the greatest confidence that the
Democracy of the State will come to
Philadelphia with a plurality, and
whether or not it will be overcome
here depends upon the party in the
city. Recent local embarrassment com.
picate the situation in Philadelphia,
but eventually the Democratic Chair.
man is hopeful that the city organiza-
tons work will be effective in holding
down the Republican majority so as to
make the State doubtful.
The attendance at Democratic meet
ings in the interior has been remarka-
BILE, and the reports from them uniform.
ly tell of efficient organization, active
interest and quiet but thorough
work. During the closing two weeks
of the campaign from seveuty-five to
one hundred meetings will have been
supplied with speakers from the State
headquarters and two score of effective
takers, many of them young men, who
are making their mark in this cam
paign, have been doing telling work
on the stump. Senator Wallace hav-
ing been disabled by exposure in Ohio,
Mr.. Randall, Mr.. Dougherty and Mr..
Stenger having been taken out of the
State by the national committee, and
no outside speakers being supplied by
the committee to Pennsylvania, the
work of the canvass here has been
heavier than usual on those who are
trying to bear it. Chairman Hensel
himself has had engagements every
night OF the past week and will speak
every night until election day in some
part of the State, generally managing
to get back to headquarters for next
days work.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1884-10-31

The present outlook is very hopeful
for the Democrats. New York is sure
for Cleveland, and there is little doubt
of New Jersey, Connecticut and In
diana. Besides these, California and
Nevada are likely to go for Cleveland,
and a strong fight is being made in IL
lnois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio.
The Republicans are using their efforts
in New Jersey, Indiana and Connecti-
cut, and if money can buy those states
they will be purchased at any price.
The Republicans realize that if they 60
out now, they 90 to stay, and hence
their great struggles. Blaine is way
ing the bloody shirt, and endeavoring
to array the North against the South
in his piteous plea for votes. Clcve-
land is attending to his official duties
at Albany, preparatory to taking up
his abode in The White House.

Once again ask your support and aid

upon to exercise the right OF recording our
votes, and to elect our Democratic candi-
dates, and as unity is strength, call you
to aid and assist the cause OF Democracy
by being viglant, and untiring to elect the
electoral, congressional and local tickets,
which represent the cause OF good Govern
ment. And in order to be able to prevent
any inroads on our usual majority OF Col
umbia county, 1t is our duty to render all
possible assistance to each other on this
occasion, therefore l appeal to all good
democrats, to see that there shall be no
unpolled Democratic vote. Committee
men, see that you do your duty by getting
every Democratic vote out In your town
ship do not forget that vigilance and
unity lead to success. There is reason for
our confidence that we will achieve vic
tory on Tuesday next but it can only be
won by the individual and united efforts of
all good and true Democrats. Remember,
the election district that will show the lar.
gest increase of vote over 1882 will be pre-
sented with handsome flag. Rally Dem
ocrats, Is the watch-word of the day.

The complete official returns of the
recent elections in Ohio show that the
total vote poiled for Secretary of State
was 70,673 in excess of the correspond
ing vote in 1880. OF this increase the
Republicans claim 20,57S and the Dem
ocrats 37,259. The balance, 1886 is
in the scattering vote. The Republi-
can increase is about eight per cent.
and the Democratic increase not quite
eleven per cent.
The Republican candidate for secre-
tary of State has plurality of 1924
over the Democratic candidate, but
falls 2,l13 short of majority of the
whole vote Taking the average of
the three candidates the Republican
vote is 392, 800, the Democratic vote
37S,6S0 and the scattering vote l2,20l,
giving the Republicans an average
plurality of IA, ,l20 and an average ma
jority of 9l9.
Comparing the averages of 1880 and
1884 it is found that the average Re-
publican gain is 29,424 and the aver
age Democratic gain 37,342. These
are almost exactly the same figures as
are given by comparison of the votes
for Secretary of State. The average
Prohibition vote is increased from
2,S46 TO 9,572, while the Gleenbacs
vote sbrinks from $500 in 1880 tc
3,629 in 1884. In 1880 the averag,
Republican plurality was 22,0S4 anC
the majority l2,350 over all.

would secure to the Democrats abou

Speaking of the canvass Of the Dem
ocratic candidates before the delegate
elections the Republican of July 10th
says: "a combination of the old ring
with their usual methods in vigorous
play will undoubtedly triumph. The
impetus of the good work begun last
fall will hardly carry the opposition
through the present ordeal But =
the Democrats /" can afford to put
the seal of condemnation upon corrupt
electioneering in Columbia county by
repeating the dose administered last
fall. Will they have the courage to do
ita'
The 'old ring" referred to is Mr..
Krickbaum and his ies,and the above
item urges his defeat because of his
corrupt electioneerng.' Well, he
was defeated, and now the Republican
wants Snyder beaten because Krick.
baum wasn't nominated. The consis.
tency of the Republican is not visible
TO the naked eye.

Only twice in many years has bolt
in this county been successful. Once
a manifestly improper nomination was
made for Associate Judge, and the
candidate was defeated by an indepen-
dent. Again, an independent candi-
date was elected Sheriff when it was
strongly believed that improper means
had been used to secure the nomina-
ton. Both of these cases occurred
under the old rules. In 1879 the
Greenback candidate was elected. No
regular Republican candidate for
county office (ercept Commissioner,
-Auditor and Jury Commissioner,
has ecer been elected in Columbia
county. Democrats, aoiN you breaA

In 1868 Ex-Governor Seymour, of
New York, the Democratic candidate
for President, was constrained against
his protest and better judgment, to
make personal campaign among the
people. This is what the Plumed
Knight said of him in the Brooklyn
Academy of Music, October 81, 1868 /:
'If we needed any excuse for an ad-
ditional word on our side, it may be
found and furnished in the extraordi-
nary spectacle presented at this mo-
ment before the American people, when
the candidate OF the Democratic party,
in wild despair at the result of the
State elections, is travelling through
the country on express trains at the
rate of thirty miles an hour, with dis
hevelled hair and wild companions, en-
gagged in the hopeless task of reviviug
the impaired constitution of the Demo
cratic party. And no sooner had h,
started on this most extraordinary jour
ney than you found Democratic paper
| in tones of impudent defiance DARN!
the Republicans to send General Gran
on a trip of the same character. Nc
thank you, gentlemen one Presiden
tial candidate making fool of himsel
at the rate of thirty miles an hour i
quite enough and General Grant, il
the garb of plain citizen, is quietl!
awaiting the verdict of the nation il
his modest home at Galeua.'
Mr.. Blaine is now in position il
which he can make another prediction
about Presidential candidate making
fool of himself at the rate of thrt.
miles an hour, and about plain ant
honest Governor quietly awaiting tn,
verdict of the people in Albany, n

Another Republican of national
prominence has abandoned the Repub-
lican candidate and come over TO
Cleveland. The latest convert is no
less parsonage than Hon. Matthew
Hale, of Albany, who was the Repub.
lican candidate for Judge of the su-
preme court last year and who was a
working Republican in 1856 and had
voted for every Republican presiden-
tial candidate since. 1t would seem as
though the Republican party will 60

In 1868 Mr.. Blaine thought Cover
nor Seymour, on the stump, was con-
ducting himself in very undignitied
manner for a presidential candidate
that he was making fool of himself
and disgracing the high office to which
he was aspiring. Blaine's present dis
gusting circus is the commentary to
his speech about Seymour. Seymour
was beaten and Blaine is already de-
feated. The votes are ready-pour
them into the ballot boxes, boys Don't
leave man at home. Pennsylvania

1t seems that Blaine has been fol-
lowing an illustrious example. In the
year 1880 he made an attack on the
great Republican leaders, in the Irib-
une, from behind the breast works of
Miss Gail Hamilton, cousin of
Blaine's wife, or 10 some way related
to him, and a member of his family.

PHILADELPHIA, October ~.

PHILADELPHIA, October T
up;n's merino stands as
iigh in all the markets of the
world as Lupin's cashmere;
but for some reason un.
known to US nobody else in
Philadelphia keeps a general
assortment of it. There is
no wholesale stock of it in
the u. S. to draw from; and
nobody can get it without
order from Paris, But that
is no reason. Merino is
wanted; Lupin's of course.
The only reason we can see
for not keeping merino is
that ladies who want it will
generally take, cashmere.
I hats a very bad mercan.
tile reason, in our opinion.
You want a merlno dress,
or wrap, or haby cloak. You
ask a merchant for it. He
probably hasn't tany; he may
vc two or three two-year-
80 colors. or LACK, too fine
Ct 10 coarse; not a mer-
t.."t u IN" city has twenty
c.."rs ;rd seven qualities
ut ,., but Wanamakcr.
- ~, CT house in the
{, .'ry lrovides anything
l,"-o many colors and quail
t's a, q makes of cashmere.
\ t. >r,i more Of evening
t"'ura lone than some of the
E.rycst houses sell of all ;
molc ui the costlier qualities
,,'4n almost any other house
OF coarse and fine together;
more of L.upin's, doubtless,
than anybody else of all the
makes But this wouldn't
be worth tie saying, if the
reason were not worth your
knowing. too. We have all
the COlOrs in use, all the
qualities made by approved
r,akers. and several makes.
The reason for having SO
many is that people have
come to expect them here;
they all want Lupin's but
they are better satisfied with
what they get. if they see
others Therc'd be no loss
TO buyers, if we kept only
Lupin's cashmeres and meri-
nos, and no others; but peo-
pie wouldn't continue to be
satisfied with Lupin's even,
without constantly comparing
with others. And the only
way other makes can be sold
at all is by putting them a
trile under Lupin's price. 1t
is not superlluous to keep
them.
We sell possibly tenth as
much mcrlno as cashmere
1t costs a triAe more and
looks exactly the same; but
it is heavier, wears longer,
can be turned wrong side
out and made over. 1t is
two dresses in one. Per-
haps ladies are not generally
good enough economists to
buy two dresses in one.
Cashmere--we're speaking
Of all-wool cashmere, OF
course-costs so cents to
sI.a5 a yard ; merino, 90 to
$I,35. The colors and quail.
ties of cashmere are too long
a list to think Of; of merino
not SO many, but all the uses
are provided for.
And this is about the whole
story of all-wool cashmere
and mcrino here; and here
is the better part of the cash
m'rc and merino world at
orc counter.
