against ME on Tuesday, and yet, two years
ago my majority was nearly 5000. If it
had been generally supposed that the op-
position to me really amounted to moth
ing, I think my majority at this election
would have been 5000 or 1000. Outside
of the cities and towns it was scarcely
known had an opponent, and even in the
cities and towns my friends attached very
little Importance to the opposition. They
were thrown off their guard by the fact that
several times heretofore candidates had
been announced in opposition, and had re-
ceiyed q very small vote.

The Vote for Carlisle.

CINCINNATI, November 5.-Carlisle is prob
ably elected but by small margin. He
claims a majority OF from six to eight
hundred. The official count begins to-day
in the eight counties composing the dis
triCt and must be completed. Unfortu-
nately for those who are most anxious to
learn the final result the counties whose
votes will decide the matter are almost in
accessible. Two of them have neither
railroads nor telegraphs but it is probable
that enough information may be obtained
some time during the night to furnish
material for decisive statement OF the
result. The opinion here is universal that
the cause OF the surprisingly close contest
lay in the fact that nearly all the Demo-
Gratis in the back counties were unaware
of any formal opposition to Carlisle, and
thousands OF Democrats stayed at home.
Boone County which will give Carlisle
about 500 majority is Democratic by at
least 3 800, and this is a sample OF the in
difference. The majority for Thoebe in
Camden and kenton Counties is due chiefly
to the large number Of Knights OF Labor in
Covington and Newport. The chances this
morning is decidedly favorable for Carlisle.
Carlisle said further: Losses are by no
means confined to States or districts
whose representa- tives voted to consider
the tariff bill OF the last session OF Con-
gress, and there is nothing in the result to
discourage the advocates OF reform.
Many ca uses contributed to the defeat OF
our candidates in different localities. Some
of these CAUSES were local, some general.
1t is too early to enumerate them, but l
think it is safe to say that local causes
have contributed far more to produce the
result than general ones. At any rate,
there is no just cause for allrm or despond-
ency. The Democratic party has survived
many defeats which would have been fatal
to any other political organization. This
little repulse will only stimulate us to
greater cxertions in the future. We need
not surrender any OF our principles, or
abandon any policy heretofore announced
but we must prepare to meet our oppo-
nents openly and mrnfully in every issue
that divides the two parties
The official count in the Sixth Kentucky
district shows the following maiorities:
Boone, Carlisle 531; Campbell, Thoebe

Isle 351; Grant, Carlisle AGO: kenton,

The Pail Mall Gazette, speaking OF the
Mayoralty contest in New York, says:
The vote for Henry George is by far the
most important political event Of the day.
I 1t is message of hops from tie new world
to the old-an unexpected light bursting
forth in a dark place. Henry George is a
visionary-an idealist, an utterly impracti-
calist, but were he as mad as March hare,
all the same the vote for him means a pro.
test against the rule OF Mammon, and will
give an Impetus to a discussion OF the
question OF the condition of the people
throughout the world.
The St. James Gazette says OF the vote
for George: It is significant and unpleas.
ant fact that in the great American city OF
New York such large proportion OF coun.
trymen are prepared to vote for the gospel
of confiscations. It should be the cause OF
all respectable Americans to forget the
trumpery OF party fights and political in-
differentism, and face the new danger that
is threatening the commonwealth.
