Cleveland and Hs,adrlc1s Elect.

There Ia no further doubt about tho
snccsss Of the Democratic nztsoua
ticket, and Grover Clsvsland -of Nav
York and Thomas A. Hendricks Of
Indiana will be the next pres5dsnt
and yics president ofthe United Seatss.
The vote Of the state OF Now York.
which wss ia doubta week ago and
which decided the result, will b. cast
for The Democratic candidates. The
official canvass in all the counties has
been completed, and tho plurality for
the Democratic electors, is placed at
1867. Thsre is no chsrgs Of fraud.
and all admit that The Republican
party was defeated, and that the de-
feat was received at the hands Of such
traitors as George William Curtiss.
Roscoe Cenkling, and other sham rs-
formers. Although Blaine was defeat.
I'd, it il almost tho uniydfgl opi,io1
that te-w&s the stronssst candidate
the Republicans could have put in the
field. The feeling Of the country was
that 3 change in the national admin
strntion of the government should
take place, but Mr.. Blains's wonderful
popularity and acknowledged ability
came neat overcoming this sentiment.
Mr.. Cleveland has disappointed those
who elected him governor Of New
York, as Iris majority for that ofdes
WAS 1872 900, and when he next came
before the votsrs of that stato for office
he secured only slight plurality. and
the only hopes the: Democrats have Of
retaining the control Of tho country
after hin administration are based on
tho belief that he will make good
president. But the president elect
can never again have the support of
all the influences which barely elected
him this time. If he refuses to he
dictated to by the Independent Re-
publicans of New York they will here
after oppose him. And if he submits
to the voice of these Independents
bis course will secure to him tho oppo-
s,tion of the Southern brigadiers and
the Northern Democratic Office seek
err. The voters who supported him
this year for the sake of a change and
those who voted for him because they
disliked Blaine, will be found opposed
to him or any Democratic candidate
in four years. The few who profess to
believe that the Republican party is
about to break up are certainly mis-
taken, although the situation naturally
looks blue to the thousands of official
pap-suckers whom tho rank and file
of the Grand Old Party have kept ia
fat government positions for nearly a
quarter Of a century. In two years
from now "a Republican congress will
be elected, and in four years L Repub-
lican president will be elected.

Mr.. Ransom stated that the committee

he had been actuated by o becoming in

A Series of Fires,


Philadelphia, February 29-Five fires
occurred during the night. Owing to
the violence of the wind and the great
distance between the various alarms the
fremen found much trouble in keeping
the flames under control. The most
disastrous was at the Chemical works of
Powers & Wightmann, the largest of the
kind in the country, which were totally
destroyed. The loss at this place will be
over one million dollars. The fire was
first discovered about one o'clock, but
the alarm was not responded to because
there were only two engines in the fire
district that we're not already engaged in
combating q similar fire in the wooden
mills at Second and Lehigh avenue. One
OF the two engines which answered the
first call came distance of nearly two
miles. The store of Coon Bros. & Co.,
produce and commission merchants, No.
% South Water street, was damaged
$4,000. About tho same time the Echo
Carpet mill, corner Lehigh avenue and
Palethorp street,and three or four dwell.
ings adjoining were destroyed, involving
loss of 100000. The other fires were
not 30 serious but the frequent alarms
served to distract the tiremen and tax
the department.
Up to five o'clock the fsmes have
steadily triumphed over all opposition
lighting up the entire city, while the
neighboring streets are blocked with
panic stricken residents removing their
goods to places of safety. From five
o'clock until noon the progress was
confined to burning inhammabls
matter within the confines
already described. Some of the neigh.
boring houses had their roofs and fronts
damaged by drenching with water dur.
ing the night. 1t is impossible 80 far to
obtain any idea of tue value of machinery
or stock, but estimates vary from one
million to one million and half dollars.

GERMAN PRESS OPINIONS.

tEhMAN 1NEoo VI ARNASX>9s
Berlin, Feb. 29-The National Gazette
says it hopes the secessionists will not
propose in the reichstag resolution
thanking the United States house of
representatives for its resolution Of con-
dolence on the death of Lasker, unless it
is previously ascsrtained that it can be
adopted.
The Germania doubts whether such
resolutions would find majority. The
reichstag is not competent to reply to
the resolution of coincidence, of which
they have received on official cogni-
zance.
The Politische Machriohten attributes
half the blame to Minister Sargent. 1t
asserts that he is lacking in political tact
and 80 failed to keep the authorities at
Washington informed of the true state
Of affairs III Germany.

might perhaps have forwarded resolu.
tion to the reichstag, if Minister Sar.
gent had not, from easily explained rea.
sons, rendered himself obnoxious. We
hope this unfortunate incident will not
disturb the harmony of the two natio n
whose interests have been closely bound
