SOENTING DANGER.

A number of Republican news
papers seem to be panied by the
thought, that Mr.. Cleveland, as
President. will not be atle to hold
out against the desire OF southern
politicians to take charge of his Adj
ministration. One weak brother
says: mo one human hand can
hold at bay the famished Democratic
wolves painting, as we have shown,
to tear in pieces the present govern
ment officials, much less such q weak
man az Governor Cleveland, who
will be moulded like clay by the
leaders of the Solid South, brought
to the front by Democratic success"
Grover Cleveland is celebrated for
taking care OF public business with
out an unnecessary amount of inter-
ference. Some politicians in New
York made that discovery the first
year of his incumbency of the Execu-
tive Office. He is not an iceberg, but
he is not melted by the soft persua-
sions of the pleading omce-seeker.
He holds public interests aud duty
above all things. In his little speech
of acceptance, after the Chicago NOM
ination, MI. Cleveland laid down his
platform as follows:
1--WE go forth, not merely to gain, a
partisan advantage, but pledged to
give to those whe trust US the utmost
benefits of q pure and honest admin
istrati0n of national affairs. No
higher purpose or motive can stimu-
late us to supreme effort ur urge us
to continuous and earnest labor for
an effective party organization. Let
us not fail in this and we may con-
fdently hope to reap the full reward
of patriotic services well performed"

significant that this leading news
paper, in q State where Prohibition

The Prohibitionists planned their

harm to Il Q Republican party. They
did not make the slightest effort in
such strong Republican States as
Iowa and Pennsylvania, but, on the
contrary, 1.-THE whole force of the
Prohibition movement was expend-

CHICAGO, Nov. 2O.-The Ameri-

continued it's session this morning.
Mrs. Stone read a report Of the work
Of the association during the past
year. 1t showed that ST 600 had been
sent to Oregon to aid in the passage
Of a constitutional amendment for
women. During the year one hun
dred thousand tracts had been circu-
la'ed explaining the character of the
suffrage movement. In Washington
Territory the women already voted
and were rs womanly as before exer-
cising the right of suffrage. Every
body liked it except the liquor peo-
pie. Great progress had been made
in Ontario, Nova Scotia and in EDg-
land. Reports from the several States
were also read, shC wing the progress
of the movement. The following
officers Were elected: William Dud-
ley Foulke, of Indiana, President I;

MI. Elkins now admits that the
mistake of the campaign on his part
was trying to break the solidity Of
the South. He sq%uandered a great
deal of money there, and Mr.. Blaine
kept back his bloody shirt assault
until the failure to carry West Vir-
ginia demonstrated the folly of at
tempting to capture Southern States.
It was then too late. In some re-
spects Mr.. Elklns is correct, but his
great mistake vas in forcing Mr..
Blaine upon the Republican party at
Chicago. He can wear sackcloth for
the remainder of his days for that
combined error and sin.

The New York Independents were

any of those characteristics since the

The officers of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company deny the exist
ence of $1,000, 900 Indebtedness to the
Oregon and Transcontinental COM
pany, stated by recent dispatches to
BIZ among the assets of the latter COM
pany. They say the only foundation
for any claim is the use of collaterals
of the latter company, at various
times heretofore, on which money
was borrowed for the Northern Pa
ci6c, and that the question of COM
~pensation for such use is now a SUBJ
ject of controversy and negotiation

The latter was an invalid, and when

house to be used for funeral purposes.
She made a scene in demanding the
