Much dismal croaking as to public sen
timent regarding the administration has
been the result of the recent republican
triumph in Madison, Wis, the home of
one of the most prominent members OF The
cabinet. However, as the New York STIR
remarks, the democratic party can stand n
good many defeats in Wisconsin so long /,
it can hold its own in the pivotal states Of
New York and New Jersey. and this it
appears to be doing despite all the croak =,
ing of INSTRUMENTATION democrats, that
are doing everything in their power to
bring about the fulfillment Of their own
dismal prophecies of disaster. Last Tues
day was a good day for the democratic
party in those states Mr.. Orestes Ceve-
land, Il democrat of the most prominent
order, was chosen mayor of Jersey City
by u handsome ma jority of about /, 500.
The democrats also carried Hoboken and
new BRUNSWICK, while they were only de
feated in Railway by democrat who ran
as an Independent candidate In New
York, also, the day was marked by a
notable democratic triumph. Mr. John
B. Thatcher is elected mayor of Albany
by a majority of l.52S and the democrats
have majority in the board of aldermen.
MIR. Thacher's majority in mere NUM-
cipal contest was thus nearly 200 greater
than that OF Cleveland in the presidential
election of 1884

honestly and earnestly averse to any per-

Try has stamped him as the cearest,
boldest and most conscientious statesman
of the land on the most vital issue before

a MANIA for striking seems to be atiic.
ing the country at present. The latest
development of the craze is the strike of
switchmen on the Baltimore & Ohie nj
Chicago, and the threat of the same class
of workmen on the Lake Shore road Ia
follow their example. The b. & o.
strike was caused by the refusal of the
company to discharge seven non>union
switchmen, who had been in its employ
since 1880, and had always performed
their duties to the satisfaction of the
company. The unionists object to these
men because they refused to desert
the company in previous strike
some years ago. In other words
they want the company to punish these
seven men for their fidelity. The strik
ers ore very explicit in stating that they
have no grievances other than the mons
unionists, as the following CONVEX sation
between one of them and Chicago Jour
nal reporter will show:
Does the question of wages enter into
