DEAR AUNIm: f. is now two
weeks after che election, AMI
reckon all doubt ie dispelled
about Cleveland being our next
president. We have got them
sure this lime, yet there are some
persons, who won't give in, tili they
see the Official count, and % heap Of
bets wont be paid till there is no
hole left to crawl out on. tell
you it makes % fellow feel good to
know he has been betting OH the
right man. 80 matter how veal
thy one may be, we have never yet
discovered the man who gloats
over losing on a wager. Have
you ever been to ahorse race, auntie!
Well, have you seen the ladies
bet a pair Of gloves and win! The
sensation that thrills their system
upon receiving the same, is worth
more to a Respondent person than
pounds of physic. The losers Of.
large sums of money, on the other
hand, feel like "thc last rose Of
summer and seeks with ayidity
some well posted being who can
assure him that ihe last telegram
was false, and that his man has yet
chance. There is cousin Tim,
now, who put up every cent he
earned last week on Cleveland.
You should have seen him come
home and yell himself hoarse with
delight; old parson Simmons came
in an hour after and assured rs
Blaine was elected. Tins face
fell four inches, and this sudden
change of aspect, caused all the
merry gladness to vanish, and in
stead a dark, ugly scowl gathered,
and he muttercd something about
hedging. Well, well, its all in
lifetime. and something new must
happen to awaken the spirits that
are apt to grow dull and uninter-
esting. Auutic, Ihad a bet with
Joel Quilp, and he said fl won !

You know joel is immensely rich,

niggardly in my choice. Taking

all industrious and gentlemanly.

The Voice Of the People.

Saturday evening the compile
ton of the official canvass Of New
York decided the electoral vote Of
that state for Cleveland. There is
no longer any doubt. The people
have 10y their ballots declared that
Grover Cleveland shall be preSl-
dent of the United States for the
four years ending March 4th, 1889,
and that the policy of protection to
American industries, instituted
and maintained by the Republican
party, shall cease. We bow to the
decision of the people.
We have believed, and still do
ardently believe, in the policy of
protection. We had hoped up to
the closing of the canvass yester-
day that this policy would be vic
tOriOus. We dread a change. Still,
if the people of this country, in
their wisdom or unwisdom, demand
trial Of free trade, or tariff for reve.
nue., or adj valOrem tariff, they have
a right to make the experiment,
and no sactious obstacle should be
interpOsed to prevent it.
The decision has been by the
slenderest majority. The aggre-
gate vote Of New York is l, 22j,OOO;
Cleveland's plurality is less than
1,2OO-leSs than one tenth of one
per cent of the vote cast. Yet this
small plurality is sovereign under
our institutions, and all good citi-
zens must yield to it a cheerful ODE
dience.

The Senate Gained.
Prom the Now York Tribune.

rum iho .NtM AOIh lllDuut.
1t is reported from Washington
that the Democrats are nos con.
sidering whether, with the posi-.
bic aid Of Federal patronage as a
lever, they can secure a majority in
next Senate.
Their prospects do not seem par.
ticularly favorable, for twenty-five
Democrats hold over, twenty seven
Republicans, and two Readjusters
from Virginia who have acted with
the Republican party in the recent
contest. In twelve of the States
where the terms Ofth Democratic
Senators expire, the Democrats
have secured the Legislature, and
in some cases have already elected
the new Senators. These States
are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Loui-
siana Maryland, Missouri, North
Carolina, Ohio, and South Carolina.
In two other States, Oregon and
and California, the terms of Demo.
Gratis expire, and Republican vic
tories insure the election of Re-
publican Senators. In ten other
States the Republicans have secur.
ed the Legislature, and in some
cases have already elected the new
Senators.
viz, Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa,
Kansas, Nevada, New Hampshire,
New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont
and Wisconsin. In one remaining
State, Illinois, at latest report
there was a deadlock. Exclusive
of this, however, the Republicans
ought to elect without doubt twelve
of the new Senators, making thirty
nine in all besides the two Read
justers, and this would leave the
Democrats only thirty.fve, at the
utmost.
The majorities in the Legisl
lures in most of the States are so
large that it seems quito unlikely
that any exercise Of Democratic
influence can oyerturn them, nor
is it likely, after contest so sharp
and bitter as the one which has
just closed, that Republicans re.
Gently elected can be found ready
to sell out their party for any
consideration, pecuniary or other.
1t will be well of course for the Re-
publicans in each State to give
especial attention to the Senate, as
a Republican majority in that body !
will be necessary to restrain the
House after the 4th of March next. |

1t has happened repeatedly in
American history that the most
popular and brilliant men of their
epochs have failed to win the high.
est honors. Men Of magnetic per.
sonality often excite the fercest
riyalries. The prc-eminence OF
one man often leads to the combi
nations Of lesser men within the
same party to defeat him. Envy
and jealousy are always excited by
the spectacle Of popular love.
Henry Clay was in his day the
idol Of the Wing party. lie was
admired even by the Democrats,
He was a wonderful orator and a
leader of men. lie seemed to grow
greater in the presence of Difficult
~ aud danger, and he always
seemed master of the situation
wherever he was placed. Yet he
never won the great prize Of the
presidency.
It's thus with Blaine. His tai
ents as an orator and a leader of
men are like those of Clay. lie
has borne the standard Of the Re.
publican party with a splendor and
power that have never been equal.
ed in the annals Of the country.
Crowds have pressed to see him,
to hear him, to grasp his hand
wherever he has been. No Ameri.
can statesman has been more be-
loved. Yet, like Clay, he has fail
cd TO grasp the prize.

THERE ought to be a good cor
rector of the Strasburg Ne'os
published in some part or portion
Of this county. The well known
character of the editor Of that
journal entities what it prints to
such consideration that great dam
age may enure when it makes a
mistake. The large circulation of
the paper increases the danger to
the public.
The Ne'cS does not seem to
know that an officer came along
here and received recommendations
for L. ). Supervisors of election.
True the republicans recOmmen-
ded first, but the bourbons did the
same on Sunday.
Tho Nelcs has also discovered
that the bill of the New York legis-
lature is not exactly one for mixed
schools because it provides for tue
negro first. Whether a bill pro-
vldes for sending white children to
negro schools OF rice Uersa does not
seem to US as altering the principle
Of mixed schools. We are opposed
to mixed schools in any form.

The New Electoral Bill.

The more any reasonable man
considers the Mccormick Election
bill the more atrocious does that
abominable measure Of tyranny
and partizanry appear to him.
We cannot help bat think that it
/ is with a yelled reference TO this
bill that the Petersburg Index
Appeal TeprObates the failure of
Governor Morton in Indiana to
recognize the existence of the
Democratic citizens of that State
and applauds the reverse policy
pursued by Hayes when he was
Governor of Ohio. At any rate,
the bill is a great wrong and ini-
qGity-and all the greater when
we know how it is TO be executed,
as formerly illustrated under the
previous bill which was declared
unconstitutional. The boards
were constituted wholly Of Bour-
bon partizans, and their appointoes
were Of a still lower and worse
grade of Bourbon pariizans-Only
hero and there a nominal Republi-
can made registrar or Judge, with
the full knowledge that, in most
cases, he was either too much Of a
fool, or too much ola knave, to be
ia the way Of anything his Bour-
bon colleagues should choose to
do. 1t is a mockery Of liberty; it
is teasOn to fair and free suffrage;
and it practically amounts to
subversiOn of popular government.
The men who are engaged in fas-
teningit upon us will become in
famous in our history. Wing.

TIE MAJORITY IN THE SENATE.
The securing Of the Illinois Legis.
laturc by the democrats to.succeed
Gen. Logan IN the Senate, will
cause the Senate, after the 4th Of
March, TO st,nd exactly as it does
now 50 republicans, sc democrats
and Malone and Riddleberger.
Malone and Riddleberger, if so
disposed, would have 1t in their
power to make the Senate a tie,
and thus give the casting vote to
ViccPrcsidcnt Hendricks. But
Gen. Malone has burned his brid.
yes, and there is no prospect Of his
acting with the democrats, and
probably not much more prospect
Of Riddlcberger going over to them.
The republicans may therefore
with good reason calculate upon q
good working majority in the Sen
ate for two years to come, whether
they can for the two succeeding
years or not. The control of the
Senate for the last two years Of
Mr.. Clcveiand's term may depend
upon the wisdom of his policy in
the government and
the character of his appOintees.-
