CLEVELAND'S Tote COMPARED
WITH HILL'S.

Comparing the vote for Cleveland with
the vote for Hill gives some astonishing
results.
The Mugwump Republican opposition
to Blaine was chiefly in the country dis
tricts Of New York, aud the Butler Dem
ocratlc opposition to Cleveland was dl-
most entirely confined TO the city Of New
York among the followers Of Tammfny.
Under this condition Of affairs New Fork
and Brooklyn gave Cleveland n majority
Of $500 votes, and the state outside OF
those cities gave Blaine majority Of
57,sll.
The conditions OF the campaign just
closed have been the opposite Of that Of
1854. The country Democrats were sup
posed to be lukewarm in support of Iilll,
while in New York city he was thought to
be especially strong among the "incor-
rigible spoilsmen."
IL stands to reason that, these facts be-
ing admitted, Hin should have gained
largely upon Clcveland's vote in the
cities and lost in the country As it
turns out, the opposite is the case. HIPS
majority in those cities is not greater
than Cleyeland's was, while in the coun-
try, If his majority in the state reaches
5000, he must have run far ahead OF
/ Cleycland's vote. With a majority in
New York and Kings of $1,000, and in
the state Of $4,000, he must have cut
down Blalne's country majority of Ssh
to about $1,000 for Davenport.
II anybody is able TO deduco conclu.
sion from these figures he may do it.

Of most Of as that we rebels are not rum

TO be sure, Garland and Lamar are IN

Confederate history SO have they been
conspicuous in the work Of restoring the

The South into the minor offices.
The roster of the postoillce depart

Why the Poolviile Alliance Cotton wa.
Sold in Fort worth.

PooIyILLE, TEN, Soys.
10 the Editor Of the Cazette
At stated meeting Of PoolvilIc ALI
ance, held October "A we, the UNDER
signed, were appointed committee TO
prepare an article giving our reasons for
leaving W6athorford and going TO Fort
Worth with our cotton, as mentioned i'm
the Weatherford Sun of October %. Mr..
Galloway, the principal cotton-buyer OF
Weatherford, buying for Neumegen &
Iacharias, has declared on different oc-
casions that he would pay those not mem
bers OF the alliance the best prices for
cotton, and that he intended to bust up
the alliance, especially the Poolyille ALI
ance.
knowing these things TO be true, thir-
| teen OF the brethren carried about thirty
bales to Weatherford on the 10th OF Oc-
tober. On arriving at the square the
buyers seemed to disappear as though
| they did not want any cotton. The com
mittec appointed to sell the cotton went
over town to solicit bids and were offered
i $50. After remaining on the square for
about two hours we decided TO try Fort
/ Worth and see If the buyers there would
/ buy alliance cotton. While preparing
! to start Mr.. Davis came around and of.
| fered $50 for the best, which would have
been about equal to the first bid. SO we
| turned to the east and arrived Mt the Fort
| the next day. We have been creditably
informed that Mr., j. S. Smith dispatched
/ to the cotton-buycrs at Fort Worth not TO
! pay over $50 for the cotton. We were
! kindly received at Fort Worth and readi-

we wished we returned home satisfied
with our trip. And you may look for
more cotton from this community soon
and we hope you will treat us like white
men and pay us what our cotton is worth.

THE ISSUE CLEANCUT.

While so many organsare busy attempt
ing to explain that Gov, Ireland did not
mean what he said when he declared that
"Texas has enough population for self
protection" it is refreshing to find Il
journal that does not find II necessary to
reverse the sense of the governors Ian
guagc in order to indorsc it. The Orange
Tribune makes an honest and direct issue
of the matter in the following significant
expression, which appears in Il defense of
Gov. Ireland's celebrated letter:
"Thc country docs not ut present need any
more laborinE men-mcn who work forwages--
for already we have rs many as work can be
provided for What Texas needs is more capt
tai, and for that every lnducement should be
offered"
The Tribune here presents q clear ex-
position of the differences between Gov
ireland and his critics. The governor
and the Tribune believe that Texas has
enough labor al present and that all the
inducements which the state has to offer
should 90 to capital, On the other
side it is held that there is an unlimited
field yet remaining open in Texas to Ia
Dor and that it should be accorded at
least an equal show with capital in the
extension Of the courtcsies of the state.
The mistake into which both the gov
ernor and the Tribune have fallen is that
capital is the main factor in
dcvelopmenFand that labor is only valu.
able as it's protege. a little deeper in.
ycstigation of the question will, nc
doubt convince the executive and his
apologist that labor is the essential
factor in development, and capital merely
an auxiliary without any intrinsic power
of its own, save as applied to and com
bned with labor. As an instance, TeXa,
is made up almost exclusively of what
are termed the poorer classes. Its people

THE new election law which was voted
upon and adopted in Chicago on Tuesday
is an effort in the direction of elective re-
form, The principal means by which it
is sought to exclude fraud Is by great
increase in the number of polling booths
and their even distribution through all
parts of the city, thus allowing greater
facilities for voting. The polls are to be
opened at u. m. and closed at p. M,
and the ballots are to be destroyed when
the result is ascertaincd and certified by
the inspectors in each precinct. This lat
ter is certainly not rciormatory clause
as 1t prevents recount OF ballots, and
affords no means of showing that FRAUD
has been practiced.

And so our export trade ia nearly dead Is az
eve want iacts-tho logic OF facts, y" said Bishop
Dudley OF Kentucky, another froe. trade speaker
at the Same meeting. And here they are most
reverend bishop How do YOU Ike them:
True, our export trade did increase
from 32iO, GSs,G75 In 1862 to SS9s, 81, S9l
In 1881, as stated by the Press; but that
organ Of protcetionism Is careful not to
show in what that increase was largest.
The inference Intended to be allowed, Of
course, was that the increase was of ar
ticles protected by the tariff, On the
contrary, it was almost entirely made up
OF unprotected products. OF the exports
in 1862, $l20,000,00 were made up OF
corn, wheat, meats, cotton and other I'M
protected goods, while $9o,0Q0,0OO were
OF manufactures Now note the rate OF
growth since then. The SS9S, l52, Sgl val.
ues exported in 1881 were made up OF
S725, 100000 worth OF live stock, meats
and agricultural products, mdSl78, o00, 600
of manufactures In word, the pro-
tected manufactures had increased in
value from S90,000,000 TO Sl73,000, 600,
