AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNC ENENT.

Taken in connection with the
Baltimore SUMS well known SYM
pathy with the Democratic party,
and its generally hearty endorse.
ment of President Cleveland's adj
ministration, a recent dispatch,
which we give below, is significant.
The dispatch is from Washington
to the San, and published with a
degree of display obviously intend
ed to attract attention and COM
ment. 1t indicates a thorough ap-
probation within inner administra-
ton circles Of the disastrous results
of the late elections upon the unity
of the administration and the party
that placed it in power. 1t is a
concession of the futile attempts Of
the SIM and other pro.administra-
ton papers to twist into the SEEM
ing of Democratic success what the
country knows to be defeat of
free.trade Democracy and its Re
publican alliances.
The dispatch is dated Washing
ton November 14th and reads:
"1O.day, III a notable group, all
Democrats, composed among others
of a cabinet minister and two lead
ing Senators, the moral to be de-
duced from the recent elections was
under discussion. All Of those
present were personally friendly to
the President. One gentleman,
while expressing his regard for Mr..
Cleveland, said decisiyely that he
thought it was better nseand bet
ter policy to admit at once that the
result of the elections was not as
encouraging to the Democracy as
it should have been, and the plain |
reason and fact was that the party |
was not pleased with the conduct |
of the President; that his conduct |
was of such a character as neces
sarily to make lukewarm all ardent |
party men, whether they had any
for office or not. Con-
tinuing, he said it was entirely pre-
for so many Democrats IN
public life who we're arriving here
to be discussing the probabilities
of Mr.. Clcveland's chances for re.
nomination; that the proper thing
for Mr.. Cleveland, and all the other
Democratic leaders, was to remit
all questions about candidates 20
period at least twelve months
hence, and address themselves to
The labor of restoring confidence,
dissatisfaction and build
ng up harmonious unity in the
party. TO this the Senators and
he cabinet minister emphatically
Amen

Candidates for the speakership
Of the next House are making them.
selves known almost daily. The
latest is Mr.. Springer, from Illinois.
lie has long had a hankering for
that position, and since his return
to Washing tona little boomlet has
been started for him. 1t is said that
he will again ask the Illinois Demo.
cratic delegation to push him for
that place. Mr.. Springer will try
to become the administration echo
on the floor Of the House during
the coming session Of the Forty
ninth Congress, and hopes this will
aid his OOCnIet for the Fiftieih Con.
gress. Sam kandslls friends are
still working quietly, and expect TO
do big things for him within the
ReEt year. Sunset Cox hopes to be
able to make enough friends this
session to put him into the char
for the Fiftieth, but DaTIisle's
say he will remain where he
is. Many things may happen, how.
ever. before the Fifiieth Congress
meets.

THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE.

There was no feature Of the re.
suits of the recent elections more
than the independence of the mass
es of the people of the demands of
the politicians, and of "bossism'
whether asserted through party
machinery or through the edicts of
corporations and selfish class inter
ests. In Virginia this spirit was
fttingly displayed, because on Vir-
glnia soil have been achieved the
most noted triumphs ofideas affirm.
alive of the principles of popular
government. The unnumbered tri-
umphs of Jefferson and Patrick
Henry were achieved through the
agency of the people of Virginia,
and those were victories won only
in the advancement and enlarge
ment of the prerogatives of the
people.
Without disparaging contrast
with the results in other states
which were determined by more
distinctively party considerations
the result is phenomenal in Virgin
ia. Efforts to befog it are unavail-
ing the country recognizes Vir-
ginia's new declaration of indepen-
dence of bosses, of corporations, of
rings and of party domination. 1t
is we'll that the people have a
chance, at long intervals sometimes,
but always the chance comes, to
remind the bosses, the political
rings and the corporations so often
detected in corrupt bargains with
the politicians, that the people still
live and still reign. A multitude
of honest voters, numbering many
hundreds of thousands, resolved to
assest their convictions at elections,
regardless of the DEGREES Of con-
claves absolutely controlled by
bosses, large and small, whales and
minnOws in authority, is the best
protection, the only protection,
against the tendencies that shape
the destinies of nations in the line
of submission to the monarchs of
monopoly and of Difference to the
agents and opponents of tinsel and
presumption.
Goldsmith preached a sermon of
unapproachable eloquence, and per
haps unconsciously delivered a lee
ture upon political economy ofsur-
passing merit, when lie wrote more
than a hundred years ago:
III fares the land, to Fastening ills "a prey
Where wealth accumulates and men decay.
Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade,
A breath can make them as a breath has
made;
But a bold peasantry, their oountry's pride,
When once destroyed can never be sup
piled.

WHY DENY IN VAIN -?

Free-trade newspapers, in aud
out Of Virginia, and newspapers
avOwedly neither tor free trade nor
protection, but ultra Democratic,
attempt to discount and diminish
the value and the ultimate fruits of
the splendid victory for protection
in Virginia. How stands The rec
ord Henry Bowen declared him
self a protectlonist of the most
pronounced type, and disputed the
fidelity of Major Henry, his Demo
cratic opponent, to the interests of
Protection. Bowen carried twelve
of the fourteen counties constitute
ing his district and his majority APP
proaches four thousand. Every
Republican newspaper IN the South
west supported Bowen because he
is a protectionist. In the Fifth
district Brown, the Republican can
didate, rested his claims upon the
people upon his advocacy of Pro
lection, and the abolition of Internal
Revenue. Cabell, his defeated Dem
ocratic opponent, voted in the last
session of Congress, for the Morri-
son bill. In the Staunton district
Mr.. Yost defeated his Democratic
opponent by large mai 'rity, and
subsequently to the election tele-
graphed that the "Tariff did it,
Mr.. Randolph Tucker declined a
denomination by Democrats, as
everybody believes, mainly because
he foresaw The triumph of protec-
ZIONIST ideas in the district which
for ten years he has represented as
a free.trader.
In the Lynchburg district a Labor
candidate was elected, and he urged
the policy of protection, as did Mr..
Brown, the successful Republican
candidate in the Accomac district.
O'FerralPs majority in the Seventh
district IS reduced from $40 to a
little more than ZOO. Elsewhere
the results we're akin to those in
Virginia. Morrison was badly
beaten by a protectionist, and
Springer, in another Illinois
district, nearly lost his district
though it ordinarily gives four
thousand Democratic majority
Hurd met his defeat at the hands
of protectionist. The city of
Louisville, the home Of free.trade
propagandism, gave a majority for
a pr0tectlOnlSt RepuDllcan cdnul-
date despite the remonstrances and
appeals of the COWrier-JOurHdI.
The Richmond Wing pertinently
says
ave do not wish to be under
stood as maintaining that the Dem.
ocratic defeat in Virginia is attrib.
utable alone to the tariff, but, new
ertheless, it is true that the Repub-
Leans made their canvass mainly
in favor of the protective policy.
That remark is a sufficient sum-
mary of the results of the elections
throughout the country.
