The New Administration.

THE Presidential couleet 80 over
for four years. The official count in
the State OF New York did not effect
any cardinal change in the result
given to the public two days after the
election. The recount of the ballots
gave G eve laud the State by plu-
rality OF ll42, and confirms his cleo
ton.
The Democrats, as a natural conse-
quence, feel highly elated over this
result. For the frat time in twenty.
four years they elect their Pres
ldent, aud will control Tor four years.
at least, the machinery OF the Gov
ernment. They have accomplished
@etupendous work, all mast admit,
They fought against a party that
has had absolute control ior a quar-
ter OF a century, party backed by
the money kings and monopoheu Of
the country, and by l2O 600 Federal
Office holders and tie Influence ex-
erted by them in every part of the
country.
The result CLEARLY proves that a
large body of the people of the Uni
ted States, becoming tired of the
Republican PARTY, whose practices
for many years have been very ques-
tionable, came over to the Democ.
racy and cast their ballots In favor
oil Reform and Honest Government.
And there is not the least doubt but
their wishes in this direction will e
strictly carried out by the man whom
their ballots have placed at the head
Of the Nation.
Grover Clev Gland has proved HE
fidelity to the people in every posi-
ZION he has ever been placed, and
there need be no fear but that the
affairs Of the Government will be

next tour years. rs will probably
take into his Cabinet as advisers
such men as Bsyard, Thurman and
Randall, and it is foOlishness to pre-
sumo that the interests OF the people
OF our country will be insecure in
the hands Of such men as these.
Let US look to the new Admins
tration as one which will again re-
store the Nation to her once honest
simple aud prosperous condition.

What Partisanship Will Do

IT is difficult to tell to Just what

men IN the heat Of a campaign.
Very often their prejudice over

morning that the borough ant horities
are going to institute a suit against
those Democrats who engaged in the
hilarious sport Of Thursday evening
This Is done because the demonstra-
ton was Democratic and Tor DO other

brought we denounce az an outrage
and 1t should be ridiculed, not By
Democrats alone, but BY every IN

What We Hear.

The news comes to as pretty
staight that a certain individual in
this town, who, by the way, is q
member OF the town Council, tod
the boys las, Thursday evening to
yell all they pleased tor Blaine, and
II necessary, they would be furnished
al the backing they needed.
We are Informed upon uDquestion.
abe authority that this same man
is the person who was most interes-
ted In having Democrats arrested
Tor demonstrating within the borough
limits Thursday evening.
There is an abundance OF consist =
ency in this indeed. In the first
place he councils. the Republican
boys TO yell, raise disturbance and
a row it needs be, and in the next
place We see his Allmightiness going
before the Justice and making COM
plant against the Democrats who
held quiet demonstration.
There is no principle or manliness
in this. 1t shows blind partnership
on the part Of any one who will do a
thing Of the kind.

THE B aine leaders are at a loss

sible. For our part we know Cieve-

to believe Democratic yotss IcAus0d

Hethenism Rampant.

IT is with reluctance We call at
tention to the actions of some Re-

here on Thursday evening. Stone s
were thrown at the procession as it

three persons were nit,
This kind OF work conuot be too
severely criticised. All persons
who desire peace aud respect good
order will take no stock in this
kind Of deviltry. 1.-THE Republicans
were TO have a demonstration and
Democrats should treat them as we
were Treated Thursday evening we
would be the first to denounce it as
hethenieh aud thoce who engaged it

1t is well known who three Of the
parties are who threw stones into
the crowd. They are boys Fl ON IA to
20 years of age. They should be
arrested at once and pushed to the
extent OF the law for such ofsnses.
