THE RESULT IN THE STATE.

The Journal prints official majorities from
eighty-four counties in the State, which gives
a Republican plurality of A. $40. The remain
ing eight counties, estimated, will make the
plurality near $500. These figures are on the
Lieutenant-governor. The Legislature is
claimed by both parties. The claim of the
Democracy is based on fraud, and predicated
upon such outrages as are detailed in the re-
port of the proceedings of the Marion county
board Of canvassers Democrats are endeav-
oring to count out the Senator from Clark
and Jefferson, which they claim by two
majority; but DIR. Taggart, the Republican
candidate, telegraphs that he is elected. In
st. Joseph county the Democrats claim the
election of two Representatives, but an
honest vote and count would give them to the
Republicans. The Republicans have elected
a majority of the Legislature.
There is no change in Congressman. The
Republicans have elected seven and the Dem
ocrats six.

WHO rs RgsPONsIBLEq

Democracy. stung by the humiliation of de-
feat, reveals its nature, and on every side the
papers of that party are charging the Presi-
dent with the responsibility. There is reason
for this, for he has not begun to satisfy the
vandals and Huns that swept down on Wash
ington and laid siege to the White House
when he took his seat as President. They
swallowed their wrath az best they could, but
it has been apparent all the time that the fire
was smoldered, not extinguished, and now it
breaks forth again. 1t will be put down after
the present indignation gives way to crafty
discretion, but it will be there till the day
Mr. Cleveland takes his departure from the
White House at the end of his first and only
term. He will not be renominated. Coming
Democratic conventions will endorse his
administration, just as those of the past have,
but it will be perfunctory kind of business
and will mean only that the party dares not
criticise what it despises. 1t is humiliating
thing to witness the manner in which his
party papers have heaped upon the Presidents
head all the blame for the reverses that came
to the party on Tuesday last. Elected as a
cats paw to! draw official chestnuts from the
fire, his hackers are angered beyond endurance
that he has not proceeded more rapidly. The
rapacity of the Democratic hordes does not
seem to have occurred to them as the explana-
ton of the calamity that has befallen them
Anxious to shift the responsibility, they do
not hesitate to lay it on Mr.. Cleveland, and
this has been done with wonderful unanimity,
East and West. The truth is that both are
responsible for the revolt of the people. Mr.
Cleveland's double dealing with the reform in
dishonest, action in himself, and the general
worthlessness of the Democratic material he
had to choose from, all combined to disgust
and alarm the people, so that they determined
to endure if no longer, and threw fearful
weight of condemnation upon it all The
American public is convinced that mistake
was made when the Democratic party was
given control of this magnificent Nation, and
will take the earliest opportunity to take from
it the trust it has abused and betrayed. This
is the essence of the whole thing and De-
mocracy need not look further for scape-
goat than may be found in each individual
member of that organization.

SAID a well meaning man to the Journal,
yesterday: els it possible that this man Sim
Coy bosses Democratic politics in this
county," He could not believe it possible,
and, like many others, felt that the Journal
was raising more dust about the man than
was warranted. 1t may serve to settle any
doubts on this question by quoting from the
Democratic State organ from yesterdays
issue, this sentence: "Sim Coy knows a
thing or two about Marion county politics"

TIE LOUISVILLE ELEorIon.

1t is gratuitous insult to the workingmen
of Louisville for the Courier Journal to snarl
at them and to blame them for the fact that that
city has gone Republican, and to allege that
they were bought with money furnished by
capitalists. That paper can look much nearer
home for the cause of the defeat the party
suffered on Tuesday. Never was there a
meaner, more contemplate campaign waged
than that conducted under the direction Of
the Courier Journal this time The war
against Mr.. Willis was waged wholly because he
had Endorsed the reappointment of Mrs.
Thompson to the postofice in that city. There
was absolutely no other objection urged
against him, and none other was thought of.
1t was fight for the spoils, and when the
party was temporarily shut out of the post
office, it was at once determined that the man
partly responsible should be 'knifed." A large
number of the people of Louisville sided with
the lady and with the Congressman they had
every reason to trust and respect, and refused
to take part in the crusade against him. This
was the secret of the narrow escape made by
the Irregular" Democratic nominee, and the
bosses will be wise if they profit by the hint
given them. 1t is worse than useless to talk
of corruption on the part of those opposed to
Not one man in thousand in the city of
Louis vile was personally interested in
the postmastership, and the Dem
ocratic voters of that city did not
see fit to make common cause with the spoil
hunters There were too many questions Of
Importance involved to make the postofice an
issue. The Courier-J Journal and its hackers
have only themselves to blame for the reverse
they have encountered. Next time they will
be wiser. 1t is little less than suicide for
them to charge it upon the working classes of
that city, and to declare that they have been
bought up to vote against the ring candidate.
The trouble with the CD. and its free trade
friends is that they have come to believe that

city, and that it was not to be thought of that
there could ever be revolt The day is near
at hand when Democracy will learn that the
workingmen of this country are doing good
deal of thinking for themselves and those of
the South are going to join those of the North
in testing the possibility of getting their de-
sires through the ballot box. The resolve lisa
sensible one, and it will not strengthen the
prospects of the Democratic party, in Louis
vile or elsewhere, to denounce the working
men as having sold their suffrages. Democ
racy has lost because it deserved to lose, and
it will continue to lose so long as it maintains
its attitude of hostility to the best interests of
the country.

THERE is little red-faced statesman in the
western part of Indiana who has an idea of his
own of Mr.. Cleveland's rule about candidates
not holding Office during their candidacy.
John E. Lamb thinks he might as we'll have
the district attorneyshipas not What makes
IL all the harder to bear is the reflection that
Mr.. Cleveland never acted on this principle,
but held on to each office he was elected to
until after he was chosen to another.

MR.. CLEvELAND'S WORK.


"We have no hesitancy in laying at Mr..
Cleveland's door responsibility for the mis-
fortune which has overtaken the party in the
losses of Congressman it sustained last Tues
day. We may look upon the result as re-
buke.
"The un-American policy he has pursued
in dealing with the party and the partisans
that elected him to Office is the direct cause of
the apathy of the party in so many sections of
the country, lie has done all he could to de-
stroy the party organization He has chilled
the honorable ambition of young men and
previously abused the old leaders. And in
doing these things ne has incurred, not only
their dissatisfaction, but the contempt of all
manly Republicans.
'The defeat of Carlisle and Morrison--the
heaviest blow the party has ever received in
late years--is directly attributable to the
faithlessness of Mr. Cleveland to his party
obligations. These men are the greatest of
the partys leaders They are to Mr.. Cleye-
land as suns to rush-light, yet they perforce
must fall because Mr.. Cleveland has, on the
one hand, failed to support them in their legis-
lative policies, and. on the other has neglected
to keep his party in that enthusiastic condi.
ton which characterized it when he assumed
the presidential Office.
'Mr. Cleveland must either prove himself a
Democrat in the remaining years of his adj
ministration or prepare TO meet emphatic re-
pudiation by his party He has not yet shown
himself worthy the suffrages of those who
elected him. Thus far he has directed his
forces against the party. Yet we have heard
reports that he aspires to reelection. We
do not think he can do so now, unless he pos
sesses an assurance even more colossal than
he has yet understanding we can
scarcely admit to be possible"
