WASHINGTON, October 31.-The Demo-
Gratis held a mass meeting ut Westminis-
ter, Nd, last night, at the Courthouse.
Hon. A. p. German, General Samuel
Cary of Ohio, and Duncan Veascy, of
Elkton, Nd, were the speakers. Senator
Gorman's speech was n bitter %denuncia-
ton of civil service reform. He said this
doctrine meant that no one who was not

the Government. This is the real issue
now in this State. but the Independents
of Baltimore were not men enough to
own it. He said the Independent leaders
In Baltimore were either rich men who
wanted to be a~ristocrats, or counsel for
big railroads.
OF all contemplate fellows, he who ac-
cepted the services of men in the party
to elevate himself, and then forgot to aid
those men in turn. was an migrate, and he
who expected him [Gorman], after he
climbed to the Senate, to forget the men
who raised him there. little understood
the man. "The only bad appointment
Cleveland has made was Pearson as Post
master of New York. l would have TAX
en- his head off at nee We must get
control Of the Senate. The party can not
carry out its views unless all the subor.
dinates are Democrats. We must take
care Of our Democratic friends" The
whole speech, one hour in length, was in
this strain.

Shsrman's Vote in Ohio.

The Columbus correspondent of the
New York Tribune says:
"Foraker's plurality over Hoadly is H.
967, while the plurality of the Republi-
can candidates for the House oyer the
Democratic candidates is 1856. This
was Senator Sherman's plurality at the
recent election, because it was acknowl-
edged on all hands that he was the only
Republican candidate for Senator. If
Foraker, with a plurality of II, 067, rides
In on the wave of a big majority, what is
Senator Sherman riding on, with a plu.
rality OF the popular vote amounting to
23,558g The truth about the matter il
that in all his long public career Senator
Sherman was never so near the hearts of
the people Of Ohio as he is to-day. In the
campaign he took the ground that in all
parts OF the Union every American citi.
zen must be permitted to cast his ballot
as he pleases, and that the ballot must be
counted as 1t was cast. This doctrine
the people Of Ohio believe in. At til,
election and since the Democrats have nj
tempted to put the contrary doctrine II
force, and by outrageous frauds in Frank
lin and Hamilton counties to reverse til,
verdict Of the people. From bitter OK
perience they have learned that Senate
Sherman in the campaign spoke on
against a living danger which even o
threatens the people of Ohio"

TUESDAYS

Elections were held in twenty-three
States on Tuesday, most Of them being
merely for Legislatures and county off,
GERS. In five States-Virginia, New
York, Iowa, Mississippi and Massachu-
setts-Governors were elected.
The results in Virginia and New York
were loo:ed to with the greatest interest.
As we 20 to press-Wednesday evening
we are without new definite enough to
give the majorities in these two States.
The Democrats claim to have elected
Lee and a Legislature in Virginia by 49,
600 majority. The battle was a holly
contested one on both sides, and so many
coniectures were made possible by pecul-
lar circumstances in the canvass that both
parties went to work Tuesday morning
confident of victory.
In New York the contest was surround
ed by moving elements that defed a sure
prediction Of the result. The Mugwump
volt was expected to return to the Repub-
lican party, and the Democratic party
counted on the return of the Irish vote
that had gone to Blaine. 1t Is probable
Hill, the Democratic candidate Is elected
Governor by 9 10000 plurality.
A notable feature Of the canvass in
New York was that the Republican party
stood squarcly on a civil service platform,
while the Democracy openly declared the
shibboleth, ito the victor belongs the
spoils," or, at least, "civil service reform
is good enough II 1t doesn't keep Demo
Gratis out of Office" 1t looks, therefore,
as il a majority Of the voters of New
York State were opposed to the civil ser.
vice business. The Mugwumpian theory
was, the election of Davenport will be an
endorsement Of Cleveland's Reform Adj
ministration. 1t seems, from this stand
point, that Mr.. Cleveland and the Mug.
wump were both sat down OF last Tues
day.
There is no reason for Republicans to
be discouraged by the elections in these
two States. Virginia Is naturally a Dem
ocratic State, but is making gratifying
strides toward liberal political sentiments,
free speech and honest ballots. AT the
present rate a few years will find her sol
idly anchored in the line Of Republican
States. In New York the Democrats
have all the machinery Of politics in their
hands. Besides, Mr.. ClevclaDd's admin
istration cannot fairly be put on the de-
fcnsive until it hascxercised the full force
Of its power, and that will be when q
Democratic Executive and a Democratic
House have worked together. Until ther
conservative Republicans will not mani
fest the interest in elections they should
Next weekswc will give official votes.

Ward Gets Ten Years and Congratulatcs
Himself on His Good Luck.
Ferdinand Ward, the Napoleon OF
Finance who made such, q splendid
splurge in managing the firm of Grant &
Ward and wrecked the Marine Bank of
New York, was sentenced to ten years in
the penitentiary last Saturday by Judge
Barrett, of New York City. He did a
good deal of ciphering and writing while
his trial was going on. He added up
long columns of figures and read through
lengthy documents, but what he gave es-
pecial attention to was the preparing of
this statement:
II have every reason to hope that my
chances for conviction on the present
charge are 90 in 100. If convicted, l can
safely reckon on being sentenced to State
prison for ten years, which Is the extreme
penalty of the law, and therefore | am
safe in setting 1t down at that figure. If
| am acquitted, which the saints forbid,
all the other indictments against me,
with their attending penalties, aggregat-
ing somewhere in the neighborhood of
200 years imprisonment, will be fired
into me. Therefore, il | am convicted, I
can set down on the balance sheet 100
years in my favor, which is quite an item.
II am now 33 years OF age. Ten years
added to this makes 43, which is still
young, even for a man whose stomach
has been slightly upset by prison fare.
So far my books show a more prosperous
condition of affairs than Mr.. Fish's
books, but then they always have com
pared favorably with his. | guess it will
be safe for me to set the life led by the
prisoners in Sing Sing as a happy medi-
um between life in Ludlow street Jail and
life in the Tombs. These facts balance
themselves, and, therefore, can have no
effect upon me-"

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, November a.
A most startling sensation was divalged
o-day at Spring City, this State. Miss
Sallie Newly. a beautiful young lady OF
that place, died about two weeks ago very
mysteriously. The facts regarding her
death were suppressed, and not until to-
day did the truth become known. On her
dying bed she told her terrible secret to
family physician. under his promise to
guard her confession sacredly, but to-day
he was prevailed upon to disclose the
truth.
For some months past ayoupg man
named Joe Hicks had been paying devot-
cd attentions to the young lady. He per-
| suaded her into a secret marriage, under
pretense that his mother would oppose
| the match. He invcigled her into an adj
joining county, and with the assistance
| Of a confederate had a mock ceremony
| performed. About a month aftcward he
began administering medicine, and the
young girl gradually wasted away. When
It was too late she discovered. she had
been murdered by slow poison, and died
in convulsieus. The villain who accom-
plishcd her ruin has fled the country.
