NEW York, Nov. ia compar.
isOn of returns from the eight dis
tricts thus far canvassed with bull
letins sent out on election night by
the city press association, has re-
suited in showing q net Republican
gain of ISL votes. In regard to this,
the Poet says this afternoon: At
fret sight such a statement is impor-
tant, but In reality the change thus
far made will have no effect upon
Cleveland's plurality, as already
announced. The returns made up
for newspapers on election night
contained many errors, but strange
to say, subsequent careful examina-
lions of the official returns make
scarcely any change in the plurality
for Cleveland as given unof1icially.
The explanation Of this is found in
the fact that errors made on q side
were balanced with extraordinary
evenness by errors on the other. A
gentleman who is very familiar with
the actual figures of the vote in all
dietricts said to-day that
the official plurality for Cleveland
would not vary half q dozen votes
from 1926, which Is given him by
the press report.

THE FLAG.

The Chicago Mter-Ocean, in the
course OF an article on he history of
the American flag, g. eaks thus:
'Itis related that prohab'y1the first
display of the national flag at a MILL
tary post wxssat9 Fort schuyler, on
the site of thevillageo Of Rome. Oneida
county. New York. The fort was
besieged early in the month of
August. 1777, and the garrison was
without q flag. So they made one
according to the prescription of Con-
gress by cutting up sheets to form
the white stripes. bits of scarlet cloth
for the red stripes. and the blue
ground for the stars was composed of
portions of q cloth cloak belonging to
Captain Abraham Swartout, of
Duchess county, New York, and the
flag was unfurled August 3, 1777."
The fort which was located at
Rome, Oneida county, New York,
was named ''Stanwjx" previous to the
revolution, in honor of General
John Stan wix, a British officer. An
effort was M ,de during the war, Oh
account of the hatred of the people
toward anything that had the odor
of Great Britain about it, to change
the name to "Schuyler," but the ef-
fort was q failure. A close study
would a's0 inform tue Inter- Ocean

Is far as the territory embraced
within it's limits is con, er, ed, must

1t is an undisputed fact that the

held 1t against q most des-
siege by st. Leger and

Why should not our Republican

BNLVA LOCK

It's not out of place now to say
that Belva Lockwood has succeeded
only in retarding the interests of
those intelligent women who are
working sincerely for the political
enfranchisement of their sex. It
seems she preferred to be laughed at
rather than not be noticed at all,
ana the personal vanity which in
duced her to perpetrate the farce of
running for President. while 1t &C.
oomplished its purpose ofmaking her
talked about, has also strengthened
the tendency to jeer at every woman
who makes herself conspicuous in
the active issues of the moment.
Her letter of acceptance was q bur-
lesque which, while it amused the
reader, left the mind impressed with
the idea that the woman was more
inclined to trlf1e with serious subjects
rather than to treat them with that
consideration which their gravity de-
mAnds. This is the unfortunate re-
suit which the i'll. advised and ego
tistic female brought about. 1t is
not too harsh q criticism to say that
her interest in the advancement of
her sex seems to be subordinate to
her interest in her own petty and
personal achievements. Notoriety is
the end she was striving for, and she
achieved it at the expense of her sex.
The practical result of the introduce
ton of women into politics as shown
by Mrs. Lockwood is simply q our
of which the wiser and earnest
women Of the country are heartily
This, however, does not
affect Mrs. Lock wood, for it il re-
that she is perfectly satiafied
with her silly performances Of the
last two months, a. she made Two or
three hundred dollars by her lectures.
This is not . very noble conclusion,
md 1t cannot be otherwise than
.umiliating to her hard working sis
ters who take . serious interest in the
great issues Of life aud the conflicts

AT LAST.

After years of humiliation and de-
feat q great national victory for hon.
est government in our country has
been won by the Democratic party.
Against forces and odds which mere
words cannot measure, q great
people have risen in, their might and
majesty and ordained, by the decree
of their registered will through the
ballot, that the Democratic party
and Grover Cleveland shall succeed
to the administration Of their gov
erument. The result in one sense is
the victory of a party. In the higher,
better and broader sense it is q vic
tory for the country itself, a special
dellverance and benediotion to the
younger manhood and youth of this
great nation.
1t is for this the veteran Democ-
racy rejoice with exceeding joy as
they confront the chaLge which is
so much of q blessing to all the
PEOPLE. Considered in Its purely
partisan scope it is, first of all, y gle
rlOLs contamination for the grand
old patriotic party whose fathers and
founders established Republlcanism
In the United States when they
elected Thomas Jefferson eigbty-four
years ago upon the foundations of
local self'gOvernment and popular
liberty for men Of all chimes and
countries.
Well may Democrats rejoice, bat
even in the flush of signal triumphs
no joy should be so great as to make
Democrats forget what the DEM
Ocral1c party owes to the thousands
of Republicans in New York and
other States who, under the lead OF
such men as Curtis, bchurz, and |
Beecher, made that triumph possible.
The election of Grover Cleveland to
the Presidency carries with it the I
hopes and expectations of a vast body |
OF men, heretofore Republican, for y
OF the nation to honest rule.
Their hopes shall b. more than re-
and their expectations shall
not be disappointed.
God never raised up a man of
stronger honesty or more heroic
courage than Grover Cleveland pos /
sesses, and he will stand for honest
rule, tor simple and economic gov
eminent, for low taxes and the
national welfare and honor, and no
power on earth can swerve him from
this high plane of patriotic duty.
Democrats, everywhere know how
appreciate the great achievement,
which has just been celebrated in
every part Of the Uni,n. They will
not regard it altogether as q mere
party or personal victory. It is
some thing far higher, better nobler
this. II is the voice of the peo-
pie uttered In thunder tones FIR a
pure, honest government, and let all
good men to whatever party they
may belong rest upon tn 8 assurance
with serene confidence IN the great
Deniocl attic truth that ''t.e voics of
people is the voice OF God" /
