There is in England renewal of com plaint that Victoria has extended her mourn ing for Prince Albert over period unexam- pied even in China, and that by mingling little with the people, by discouraging fes- tivities, and by living so much by herself, she has endeavored to make the whole coun- try mourn with her. It is generally felt tha! this means parsimony, and that the liberal supply voted to the crown was meant by the givers to be spent in display, hospitality and the encouragement of industry It was a dull season, this last, in London, and very little money was spent. Even the Court Journal went so far as to declare in the most pointed manner that her Majesty had it all in her power, by releasing little the hard set lines of etiquette as regarded mourning, to make business flourish.

The Important speech made by Mr..
Blaine, last evening, to bis friends and
neighbors will be read with great interest by
the people of the whole country. The late
hour at which it was received prevents ex-
tended comment In this place but it is an
address 50 straightforward and clear in its
Argument that no comment is needed TO re-
intorce its significance. The main thought
is one that has been often presented, but
never before more distinctly, and always be-
fore under circumstances which made the
perl of the exist nc inequality Of rights be-
tween the people Of the North and the
South seem distant danger about which il
was hardly worth white to borrow trouble.
Now, however, the circumstances are
changed. The minority have defeated The
majority in the contest for control of the
nation and Mr. Blaine sets forth none too
strongly the possible disastrous consc-
quences of ibat success.

II there is anything about the present sit

ter it is the confident assumption by the In
dependents who have helped the Democratic
party into power that this party is reformed,
that it is not the lawless, wrong-headed and
blundering organization which the country
has known for generation past, but some
thing else. Has accidental success so suddenly
brought about "a sea change into something
rich and strange? Has Morrison been

According to the Northern Democratic
press all the Democratic papers South are
now engaged in the very praiseworthy work
OF "reassuring the negroes" Bu why is all
this "reassuripg" necessary. We believe
that fer years pat it has been claimed by
all our esteemed Democratic contemporaries
that the relations between the two races 1t
the South were of the most cordial deserp-
tion, and thai the stories which ind Gated
that the contrary was the case aud that the
olscss were prescribed and deprived of their
political rights by intimidation and fraud
were simply Republican les" Why, then,
is all this ''reassnring'' necessary

We're Republicans. The total vofing popu-

PIesicent was Only 12l. .321, less than the
numbtr of colored voters. OF this total vote
the Democratic candidates received 7S. SAT
and the Republican candidates AZ. ia This
is state of things which makes ridiculous
the Democratic 2retension Of favoring free
ballot and fair count. Only about 80 per
Cent of the coiored voters cared exercise
their light of suffrage and the white minor
fty iriumphed. Ii is not the will of the peo-
pie, but the suppression of the will Of the
people,-the inflelty of the Democratic

According to Washington correspond
ent the Democrats are already beset with
the fear that Cleveland is not going to give
them all the scope they want, and some Of
the Democratic Senators are even at this
early date diyising schemes TO cir,umvent
him. Some of them say that if the Presi.
dent-elsct attempts to gnore them they will
be forced 10 fall back on their privileges as
Senators to make themselves felt in the con-
hmaiion OF his appointments. They claim
that Cleveland has no more right to utilize
his election for the purpose of experiment
Ing with personal theories of his own than
they would have themselves. The Demo-
cratic party, they insist. stands before thu
country pledged to certain distinct policies.
and The only way to insure the country that
the party is in earnest about them is for
Cleveland to consult freely aud impartial,
with prominent Democr is from all sections.

The Portland daily press., 1884-11-19

One of the burning questions which the
new deal has pushed to the trout is this:
VIII the Independents have a representative
in Cleveland's cabinet? The Evening Post
and Boston Herald say no Independent
should seek any share in the responsibilities
OF the administration but should insist that it
shall be Democratic In every department. ip
order, as the Evening Post phrases it, that
the Democratic party may be "put to its
trumps." These expressions indicate that
some Independents think their organization.
If it may be called an organization, will be
more powerful out of cffice than in Office.
The extract quoted from the Democratic
World Yesterday exortiDg the Independents
not to ruin their prestige of disinterested-
ness by claiming share of the spols was
very funny. Why does not the World rec
ommend its own party to practice he virtue?
1t appears to be quite willing, even anxious,
that the purity of the motives of the other
fellows should not come under suspicion by
The display of an eag, rness for cfice. How
about its own crowd?
