The Election.

The excitement over the election was yes.
terday undated and the greatest interest
was cea,ered in the Western Union and in
the Baltimore e. Ohio telegraph Offices. A
crowd gathered at the entrance to these Of
fees early in the day and as fast as one be-
came tired and left, another took his place.
Early in the day It was known that Con
neoticut and New Jersey, and it was
thought Indiana had gone democratic be-
yond a doubt. This narrowed the fight
down to New York state, as it had been
definitely settled that as New York went
80 would 90 the presidency.
The news through the day was very con-
Aicting. Republican dispatches in most
instances claiming the state in doubt with
a faint hope for Blaine, while democratic
news gave it to Cleveland without reserva-
ton, but there was not a democrat ia the
city who did not feel sure of her electoral
vote for his candidate. The republicans
claimed Indiana in doubt early in the day,
but could get no encouragement from their
committees. At $40 p. m, CIptain W. P.
Halliday received the following dispatch
from the vice-president elect:
"INDIANAPoLTs, Nov. Q, $40 p. MIN.
diana by 5000 Latest from New York
show majority for Cleveland and Hendricks
1900.
(signed) T. A. HENDRICKS"
This settled the question of Indiana and
was "tidngs of comfort and joy" to the
democrats who were anxiously watching
New York.
The following is the vote AZ it stood last
night by states and VIC have no reason to
believe 1t will be changed.

ed the side issues in the recent campaign.
Butler and st. John. Butler betrayed bis
followers, and st. Johns followers betrayed
him. The vAuned champion of anti-mon-
opoly cut wide swath till his own parts,
ans discovered and denounced his treacher-
Gus interview On the Tallapoosa with the
agent of Mr.. Blaine, and then he sunk out
OF sight like lump of lead. St. John
bore himself gallantly. The republican
press wantonly assailed his private cbarac-
ter, and his sdhcrents ought to have made
the calumny the provocatlon to a heartier
support Of him, But instead of this, they
puSilanlmously abandoned him and went
over to the party of his deiamers Had he
been fairly dealt with he might have won
tor prohibition fighting ground for the
future; but when the prohibitionists them.
selves made sacrifice Of him. they massa.
creed their own cause.
The most remarkable and by far the
most brilliant victory achieved IN the late
campaign 10 that of Hon. VIM. r. Morrison.
His district was but lately republican. 1t
has large manufacturing population. 1t
lies contiguous to a large manufacturing
city. Every condition was calculated to
make effective the specious attacks of the
protectionist school of economists upon the
leader OF the revenue reformers. The re-
suit shows more clearly than volumes of ar.
gument could the strength of sound opin-
ions when presented and maintained by a |
strong man IN whom there 10 neither waver-
ing nor shadow of turning. Only such |
leaders are needed to bring triumph to the
principles which the great majority of dem
'cratic representatives in congress planted
themselves on at the last session. The les.
on of the election in the Eighteenth Hi
ois district must be of great value to the
ountry aud democratic Republi-

CLEvElAkD'S DESTINY.

Candidates are sometimes nominal
ed who are destined TO be beaten In
1872 DIR. Horace Greeley was such a
candidate. Yet in the hope of gain
ing the liberal Republican vote the
Democratic convention took him and
made him its standard bearer. The
result was soon seen in the despon-
dency and DISCRIMINATION of the
Democratic party. In the election
DIR. Greeley was frightfully defeated I;
vet the Democracy, never having been
identified with him, was not greatly
injured. and soon recovered its equi-
librium.
la 1884 it is again proposed 10 NOM
mate candidate for the purpose OF
securing what is now called the indie
pendent Republican vote, and Grover
Cleveland, q man not qualified TO be
president, and himself an extreme in
dependent, though Democrat in
name, has been picked out for this
purpose.
If Mr.. Cleveland should finally come
forth as the candidate of the Chicago
convention, he will appear upon the
stage bearing the mark of destiny
and that destiny will be defeat. AT
the same time the disaster will be
most pernicious in its effects upon the
Democracy. The folly of repeating
such foolish experiment, with man
independent of party obligations, will
be signaily punished, and TIE disor-
ganizstion it produces will be of a
sort that will take years 10 recover
from.
fthe Democracy must be beaten in
1884, there are plenty of honored and
distinguished statesmen who might be
selected to lead the doomed army
without invoking. in addition &c the
calamity of overthrow, the dangers of
DISCRIMINATION and dissolution.
If the Democracy is now TO be beat
en-and beaten when the chances for
victory are better than they have been
for twenty years-in heavens NAME
let the tragic experience be conducted
under some leader with whom the ca
lamity will be free from disgrace and
not entirely fatal.-New York Sun.

BY ALL MeANS LET IT BE ST. JOHN,

The Rev. w. II. Boole, whose prom
inence is not the brightest of his char
acteristics, publishes a communication
in the Weekly Witness of the 10Th
inst, endorsing ST. John for president.
He says the Piitsburg convention
should look at the true worth of this
mighty champion of the temperance
cause, by whose energy the state of
Kansas was carried for constitutional
prohibition, and closes by saving that
it is not among the impossihilit;es that
St. John might carry the state of
Kansas. Far more wonderful things
have happened in politics the i'm
mense majority for Cleveland in New
York created greater establishment
generally, than would be aroused in
Kansas by the announcement the day
after the election that the state had
been carried for the prohibition can
didate, for president, John p. ST.
john"
Why, certainly, Mr.. BOole, star
more wonderful things have happened
ia politics." Take for instance ST..
Johns race two years ego, when out
of possible sixty thousand Republic
can majority, he succeeded in eecting
a Democrat by five thousand votes.
BY all manner of means let il be
St. John, and now that he has de-
clared that his conscience will not al
low him TO support the Republican
presidential nominees, because the
platform does not conform to his own
broad ideas, he might be able, with
his deluded followers in this state. 10
poll such vote, that two more years
of Democratic rule would be our lot
st John has the interest of the dear
people of this state SO much at heart
that he will undoubtedly try to give
us something we do not want.-Leav-

THE SAME OLD YELL.

The New York Herald in a column
editorial tries TO alarm the country
over the approaching presidential con.
test. We clip the following extract
"Thc Union put down this sectional
southern domination in 1865, but at o
great cost. We speak seriously when
we say that to avert great evil the
country must now put down this new
sectional domination, this attempt OF
the worst western dcmagOgism, swag-
ger and bounce, 10 make
itself the controlling force
of the Union at the expense
of the east, the south and the middle
section. What the Democratic con-
vention will do no one can foretell.
But its duty is to present to the
country ticket in every sense
national, aud to call upon the people
everywhere the reEuke this new and
dangerous sectionalism which threat
ems evils even greater than the old
southern domination. Blaine is the
old chosen favorite of the west and the
rowdy element
II is better for the countyy-the pe0-
pie of the ,chole uniOn--fO decide this
question noe at the ballot boz peace
fully than later Dith rifles IN their
hands.
The last paragraph is reproduced,
just as ii appeared in the Herald--in
italics. The sentiments expressed are
shame and a disgrace to modern
journalism and should receive that
condemnation that all such unpatrioi-
ic utterances richly deserve.
The time has come when the west
has not got TO bow down 10 the money
bags of the east She is self sus-
tanning ehpire and while there may
be little ''swagger" in her onward
march, it is not from disposition TO
overawe her eastern sister, but it is
more on the style of a young man who
has inst passed his majority.
Shame on the journal that will ac-
accuse her OF hypocrisy, and for mere
political spleen aud malice insult her.
The west waited long aud faithfully
for the time to come when she could
take her place and make herself heard
upon the great political question that
has just been ouded. She wanted a
man of the people for her leader. and
believieving that jaime q. Blaine was
the one, she cast her strength for him,
and she will not desert him. no ma ter
how many, or how often, -uch charges
are made against him.-Lcavenworth
Times
