OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.


From our Regular Correspondent.l
WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. 20. 1884,
The result of the election in Ohio
is practical demOnstrat ton of the
folly of attempting to make the issue
of the personal character of candi-
dates matter of national importance.
The Democratic orators in Ohio had
little in their speeches except the
most malignant and scurrilous at
tacks upon Mr.. Blaine's personal
character, while the Republican
speakers sturdily and steadily ham,
mered away for protection, avoiding
all illusions to Governor Cleveland's
personal shortcomings and all refer
ence to the Democratic candidate in
any shape, inasmuch as they refused
to consider the Presidential candi.
dates as known quantity in State
election where national issues could
not he absorbed in their personality.
AS Mr.. Beecher well said before he
discovered the political PROJECTIONS OF
Mr.. Cleveland, "a man represents
the party, Il party represents princi-
pie, and principles represents the pol
icy of the country, and no President
is anything-with all his influence
without his party" The same re-
suit cannot but take place in New
York, where the Democrats are any
thing but happy family, and where
the mngwumps have relentIessly fol-
lowed up their assaults upon Mr..
Blaine as though he were the
embodiment of all that is vile
and Villainous, No more than in
Ohio will the Republicans of the
Empire Stale cast aside the princi-
pies that have secured the ascendpn-
cy. of their party for a quarter Of q
century, TO spouse the cause of the
moribund Democracy, JUNIUs.

Theron p. KeatOr, Editor of Fl.
Wayne, Ind, Gazette, writes: "For
the past five years have always
used DR., Kings New Discovery, for
coughs of most severe character, as
we'll as for those of milder type. 1t
never fails to effect speedy cure.
My friends to whom l have recon-
mended it speak of it in same high
terms. Having been cured by it of
every cough l have had for five years,
| consider it the only reliable and
sure cure for Coughs, Colds, ETC."

effect. 1t stands now like the gentle
man who stepped on the banana skin.
and says it isn't hurt in the least.
But let us look at the facts. The
Democrats boasted of their "perfect
organization" their abundant cam
paign fund, of the German vote"
which was to be theirs, and the In.
dependent Republicans who would
desert their party, and, last of all,
the big Prohibition vote that was to
deliver the state into their hands.
Their leaders nearly all claimed the
state by majoritie5 larger than H0ad-
ly's had been last year. Senator Bay
ard predicted Democratic victory in
Ohio. Thurman felt sure of it. Hoad-
ly was very confident ola big victory
AT last accounts he was still engaged
in ciphering. Pendleton telpgraphed
East that Ohio would 90 Democratic
by $4,000. Waller said that he had
been all over Ohio; that the Demo-
Gratis had plenty of money, and if
they didn't carry the state he would
have no more faith in management.
Senator German was very certain,
so was Hendricks-and so on all
along the line.
Well, the vote was taken, and it
was found that the Democratic caIcu-
latiOns were about twenty-six thous-
and votes wrong Balto. american.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1884-10-25

Because that las he supposedly suited
his locality. And the same thing is
true of other Democratic leaders.
They are all things to all men to catch
votes. In our own district we have
Mr.. Fred Nelson declaring that "the
tariff is an unimpOrtant side.issue.'
Mr.. Cleveland cannot be induced to
say a word on the subject, and yet
some Democrats say he is for free
trade, and others vehemently declare
him to be in favor of protection. The
Democratic comfy convention which
met in Oakland the first week in June
last, styled Carlisle, Morrison and
Hurd patriots, because of their efforts
in favor of free trade, and condemn
ed in unmeasured terms the forty
Democrats who voted with the Re-
publicans in Congress in favor of pro-
lection. Now is free trade right? If
it is, then a large part of the Demo-
cratic party is wrong. Is protection
right? If it is, a large part of the
Democratic party isstill wrong. Who
is to decide? The Republicans have
decided for themselves in favor of
protection. The Democrats cannot
decide even for themselves either for
free trade or protection. But the
people will decide the matter at the
polls in November, and if we can
read the signs of the times as indi-
Gated by the elections already held, a
cyclone will strike the Democracy
early next month which will make it
wish it had never heard of free trade.
The people will decide whether the
Republican party is simply a remi-
niscence so far as principle is con.
cerned or not.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1884-10-25

"The Republican party, so far as
principle is concerned, is a reminis-
cence." So says the Democratic plat
form. The Democrats would have
US believe the mission of the Repub-
lican party has ended, that there is
nothing left of it but the memory of
what it has accomplishment the past.
Now as we said in the last issue of
this paper, the mission of the Repub-
lican party will never end while the
Democratic party exists, and persists
in disseminating the poisonous doc
trines of states rights, and proclaim
ing that doctrine as its Fundamental
principle. But even if it were true
that there is no great principle divid
ing the two political parties to, day,
and that eaoh party is simply stand
ing before the people and claiming
their suffrage upon its past achieve
ments. would not the record of the
Republican party entitle it to the con
fidence of the people. Is there any
political party on the face of the earth
which has so much in its record, to
which it can point with pride and
pleasure? Has there ever been
political party in this country which
has accomplished so much good for
the whole people? Has the country
ever been so prosperous when con-
trolled by any other party? CandOr
will compel any fair minded man to
answer all these questions in the neg
alive. On the other hand, if you will
examine carefully the record of the
Democratic party, you will find it is
a long series of blunders, mistakes
and failures. That its stock in trade
has been made up principally of pas.
sion and prejudice. and its only claim
to public confidence was its promises,
which it is. and has always been
ready to make, but which it never
intended to keep. When tie Repub-
lIcan party came into power its posi-
ton was an unenviable one. OBJ
stacles lay in its path which were
considered insurmountable. New is
sues presented themselves. New
measures had to be inaugurated.
New questions had to be met and de-
cided which had never been met
before. In every instance the Repub-
lican party was equal to the emeg
ency, and every great measure of
public Importance inaugurated and
adopted by that party has stood the
test of time, and the people can now
see that those measures were dictated
by wisdom and sound policy. But
there is question, a principle in
fact of paramount importance to the
people, which is directly involved in
the present political contest. We re-
fer of course to the protection of Amer
lean labor and manufactures. Upon
this question the Republican party is
a unit, and is contendlng manfully
for the protection of home industry,
because that party believes it would
be unwise, and in fact would amount
to national suicide to pursue any
other course. How is il with the
Democrats upon this question. In |
the first place they are divided
and quarreling among themselves.
1t is not a great principle with them,
but is used by them as means Of
getting into office. In Pennsylvania
we find Sam Randall preaching pro-
lection. Why? Because that hap
pens to suit his locality. In Ohio
Frank Hurd talks free trade. Why? !

One of the leading Democratic
country newspapers of New Jersey
that has been giving a warm support
to Cleveland and Hendricks, last
week took their names from the head
of its editorial columns, put up those
of Blaine and Logan, and in a lengthy
editorial announced that it would
give its best efforts to the success of
the Republican ticket. The princi-
pal reason assigned for this somer-
sault is the position of the Democrat
ic party on the tariff and the general
disposition of the party to hoodwink
the people of the country by trying
to be on both sides of every import
ant question at the same time. This
is significant.

The Republican victory in New
ark on Tuesday shows IA gain since
last year OF 1000 votes. Thus, in a
single city Cne-ihird of the Demo-
cratic majority of 5000 by which the
governor was elected has been wiped
out. All of New Jersey, like New.
ark, is hive of industry, and it will
follow the lead of Newark for the Re-
publican protection policy.

The Democrats spent thousands
upon thousands of dollars in Ohio
and resorted to every means known
to tricky politicians to carry the
State. Boosting and betting all the
while that they would surely win.
and now since the battle has been
fought and gloriously won by the
Republicans, they have the gall to
tell US that they looked for just such
a result !

The Republicans gained $4,000
votes in Ohio this year as COMPARED
with last, and that's what the DEM
ocralic organs call Republican dis.
aster. The Democrats lose 5000 votes
in West Virginia, and that's what
the organs call Democratic victory.

A Howl From, the rhunderer.

Tho London Times leader Of Tuesday, tho
18th, says: SIT is intolerable. We are ex-
posed to this succession of plots from a nation
protesting to be friendly with us, and with
which we only desire to live in peace and uni
~. We know that the Americans are aware of
the identity Of the plotters of the outrages, and
it would be no hard task for the American gov
eminent to end the whole thing We have done
our part. We have made the private manufac-
lure of explosives IL penal crime. The result
is conspirators have been compelled to change
their ground of operations and find in America
. safe refuge, and a government which will not
interfere with their operations.
It is impossible that We shall submit to this.
Dynamiters arc Il common enemy which no
civilized country can tolerate without disgrace.
These miscreants have only done what Amcri-
can journals have been allowed to advocate,
for what rewards have been only promised,
and for what public meetings have applauded.
Tho time has arrived to address i strong re-
monstrance to the government allowing this to
be continued. Respectable Americans are
ashamed of the ~inaction of their rulers. They
must now join us and make their voices heard
and obeyed. 1t remains for America to aid us,
as she alone can nip the mischief; but our de-
mand is one that o civilized nation is bound
not to disregard"

Cowboy 1xuohius In Dakota.

Deadwood, Oak, spocial-Harry Tuttlo, one
of the cowboys engaged in the fight with Dep
uty United States Marshal Raymond and posse
at Stoneville, ten days ago, in which fight he
was hot through the left elbow and was aban-
doned by his comrades, was brought to the
county hospital at Spearfish for treatment. Sat
urday last a party organized to lynch him, but
were dissuaded by better minded men. Tues
day night, a party of eight, wearing buffalo
coats and masks, appeared at the hospital, half
the party remaining outside, while the others
only nurse present pounced upon the helpless
victim, who before he could utter more than a
piercing scream, was gagged and dragged,
without clothing, other than a nigl,tshirt, from
the building, through the cold night air, to a
cliff a short distance away. There a rope was
fastened to a tree overhanging the precipice, a
moose was formed around the victims neck, and
without an opportunity to ask for mercy, or
time to make peace with his God, futile was
pushed over the brink. The fall broke q leg,
but did not dislocate his neck, and the man
died by ~strangulation.

+. Very many of the tiny screws usedin
this country in Matchmaking are turned
out on three little automatic machines
in this place. One of them, while turn
ing out a perfect screw at a fair rate Of
speed, is considerably improved on by
its companions. The machine takes up
but little oom A man could carry it
under his arm without much difficulty.
A wire is fed through a tube into the
machine. It is carried forward by re-
volving teeth. AS it appears, a knife
cuts away the surplus metal to make
the stem for the thread, just as
the chisel operates at the lathe of the
,wood-turner.
As this is finished, a small tube, in
which the thread is formed, advances
and clasps the stem, forms the thread
at lightning speed, and falls back. AS
this is done, two knives cut that portion
of the wire off, and the completed
screw falls down. The wire again adj
vances and the process is repeated. The
marvel of the machine is best grasped
when the size of the screw formed is I'M
derstood. This week the largest size
are being made. They are an eighth of
an inch in length, ani,it would require
200 of them to weigh an ounce. The
thread of the stem is so small that it is
scarcely d%iscernible to tho naked eye.
Each machine will make 5000 screws a
day. The machines have been at work
a little more than month, and are the
result of years Of patient investigation.

it finally reached the ears of the husband. He
raised a terrible row, and at once discharged

visits the house of his former employer with
great regularity almost daily. The scandalous
affair has been gossiped about for weeks, and
many people are charitable enough to believe
that the wife is insane. Last summer she was
frequently seen sitting in a shady nook, with
the coaclman by her side. Other manifesto
tons of her regard for the driver have been
