GORMAN ON DEFEAT.

The city papers give an interview
by the Maryland Senator:
Concerning Chairman Brice, the
Senator said: "For the first two
months of the campaign most of his
time was consumed in trying to in
duce active and influential Demo
Gratis to forget their disappointment
and enter heartily into the contest.
Personal grievances were very hard
to overcome in some instances, and
it was difficult matter to arouse
some of the most valuable party
workers. By the time these preju-
dices were supposed to be overcome,
Colonel Brice had but three weeks
left to devote to the opposition"
The first task was to prevent pub
lie attention from being concentrat-
ed on the facts that Wall Street
railroad manager was at the head
of the Democratic party. This
was one of the grievances" which
disappointed Democrats. Indeed
it was "difficult to arouse" that class
who merit the confidence Of the
people. Our defeat would have
been worse were it not that Depew,
President of the New York Central
and Haywood OF the Pacific road
were dominating the Republican

A CORRECT VIEW.

Major Ned. Bennett, of Cabell, is
one of the thinking men of this
State, and no one within our limits
is better informed on public ques-
lions or has more level head. The
Huntington Times had an interview
with him Immediately after the cleo
ton, and we make some extracts
from it. He said
The large reduction in our Demo
cratic majorities is due TO the fact
that the masses of the Democracy
have tired of Bossism and have
taken the sure method OF manifest
inc their WEAKNESS. 1t had become
notorious that, two years ago no
citizen dared to aspire to the Legis-
lature if he was not ready to pro-
claim himself in favor of Mr. c. for
u. S. Senator. This year he had to
be equally empathic in his allie
glance to Mr.. X. Now, there are
at least one 1000 citizens Of West
Virginia who are esteemed as capa
BILE for Senator as either Mr.. G. or
Mr.. X, and these have each a mum
Der of friends who so think. 1t is
not wonderful, then, that a system
of Bossing which denies, in adj
vance of even the nominating con-
vention, that any one but the Boss
shall be considered eligible, shall
render luke-warm or even hostile,
the large number Of people who
thus find their preference ostracised.
The result Of the election is the
final answer to this state of affairs.
The first lesson was rendered at the
legislative session Of 1887. If it
had been needed the Democratic
party would have triumphed. Per
sonally / am very much chagrinned
that the conditions were so, as /

of Wheeling and Ohio county,
where the great bulk-indeed, you
may say all-of our protected in
dustries are, have increased their
Democratic majorities, and Hon.
William L. Wilson, Of the Second
District, who is a member Of the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House, which formulated the Mills
bill, is the only Congressman cleo

that Mr.. Cleveland has carried the

and statesmanlike message favoring
tariff reform.

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.

This is a most important Office
The Speaker appoints the committee
on railroads. 1t is an open secret
that the railroad lobby has cooked
up this committee session after SEES
sion. When a bill was offered in
the last Legislature to prevent rail
roads from discriminating, the COM
mittee reported,-"it is inexpedient
to legislate on this subject" and
they would not report to abolish the
free-pass bribery.

THE ELECTION.

The Wheeling Register says that
Judge Jackson has made or will
make a molten to the Supreme
Court at Charleston to compel the
Governor to issue to him a certifi-
cate of election.
The same paper says that the
vote for Governor in Mcdowell ex-
ceeds the poll on any other State or
county office by l15, and rigid in
vestigation is being had before
Judge johnson in Mercer county
1t is also said that there will be a
contest for the House of Delegates
in Mcdowell and Wyoming, and
also for the member from Mercer
county.
The Register figures out that
Fleming has a plurality of 9, while
the Iatelligencer claims to have au-
thenticated returns from every
county which show that Golf is
elected by plurality of 14S.
The IntelIigeacer saws that the
ballot box of Wetzel county was
tempered with. 1t says the box
was in the vault Of the Coun-
ty Clerks office; that the shut
tiers were left unbolted, and in
the night some unknown parties en-
tered "and had every opportunity
to do what they pleased with the
ballots"
The InteUigencer is very posi-
tive that Atkinson and Smith are
elected to Congress.
A telegram from Charleston On
the 26th says; can application will
be made tomorrow to the Suprem
Court for writ Of prohibition to
prevent the County Court of Kama
wha from counting the votes cast
at Lewiston precinct for fraud and
informality."
We do not know what may be
the outcome Of this muddle, but we
do know that Willis Wilson will
not be party to any rascality.

Mr.. James NJ. Mason is one OF
the West Virginia Democrats who
resent the assinine behavior of
their leaders since the people spoke
their will at the polls. His rebuke
of that sort Of leadership does cred
it to his common sense and his
spirit of fair play. 1t would be q
great mistake to suppose that the
whole Democratic party is willing to
abet an effort to defraud the peo-
Wheeling Iatelfgencer.
l. The above needs a reply. We
have to say: This being a public
paper as distinguished from a pri-
vate paper we print whatever any
one wishes said. There are a num-
Der of brainy men known to us to be
sound Democrats and not in the
pay Of monopoly:-we print what
they send us without looking at it.
The DEMOCRAT very often has edi-
.orials which Mr.. Mason never hears
of until he receives the paper. Our
object is to give our readers the
truth and the best thoughts Of able
men who have not sold out to the
Money Power. We do not care a
rush whether they are popular or
not:-provided they put public opin-
ion on the right road.
9. We have not printed much
about the election in this State be-
cause we could not find out what
was the truth and because other pa
pers were making the facts public
3. We certainly do think our
party politics have been managed
with unprecedented stupidity. Our
managers have entirely mistaken
the temper and genius of our peo-
pie. We saw what was coming;
we saw it six months ago, we tried
all we could to prevent it. Others
see now what we saw then.
4. We do most earnestly hope,
that the election frauds will be
probed to the bottom and the guilty
parties sent to the penetentiarY.

WHY THIS is THUS.

There is a good-deal Of specula-
as to why our majority in West Vir-
ginia was lost. The machine poll
ticians say, it was due to an influx
OF foreign miners, to republican
money, to a scare on the tariff, and
every one has different reason but
all are careful not to mention the
true reason, which is invariably
given by every thinking man Of the
non office seeking class:--we lost
because the body Of the party are
disguised with machine politics.
The methods employed to nominate
Anderson had more to do with our
loss in Fayette, Kanawha and Nc
DOwell than the tariff scare among
miners. There was no influx Of for
eign miners in Greenbrier, Nicholas
Monroe and Clay. The republican
money-theory will not answer. In
1876 we had 1900 majority and it
is absurd to say republican money
caused this majority to dwin-
die away. The tariff-scare-theory
is not satisfactory because Wheeling
and the other localities having the
most protected industries went dem
ocratic.
Here are the true reasons for our
disaster:
!. Our representatives st Wash
ington used the federal patronage to
maintain themselves in office.
II. The machine managers plan
ted themselves on the new and fatal
doctrine that caucus decree was
more binding than apledge made to
voters.
III The State Convention was
packed to defeat the old Judges and
to ostracise the Kickers.
". Our party was dominated
by railroad politicians.
Y. The managers used nominal
conventions and the machinery of
party to suppress the public will and
to exclude the men who would, if
they had opportunity, accomplish
what the people want done.
This Is why our majority Is rome
West Virginia Democrat. [volume] (Charles Town, W. Va.) 1885-1890, 1888-11-30

We have not the vote before us,
but we venture the assertion that
our losses did not occur in those
counties where the machine was not
strong enough to ostracise the Kick
ers. We venture to say, that Flour
noy was endorsed in Hampshire,
Sprigg in Hardy, Sydenstricker and
McClung in Greenbrier and, if he
was 4 candidate, Switzer in Putnam.
Chew and Gibson were endorsed in
Jefferson. We wish some one who
has time would look up and publish
the figures on this point. If we
know the temper and habits of
thought of the West Virginia people
and we think we do, our loss has
been greatest where the machine was
strongest.

ADDITIONAL COUNCIL BLUFFS
The Dirty Row Must Go.

Said a prominent citizen yesterday:
"It is but question of time when The
Row will have to go, and a very short
time at that. 1t is located for a pleasant
drive, and as soon as the proposed pay.
ing is completed it will be used extern
sivcly for this purpose. Our citizens
will not tolerate any such orgies as have
disgraced this locality in the past, and
the denizens of the houses will have to
move to other quarters. AS long as the
street was knee-deep in mud, no one
cared to travel on it; but now that 1t is
to be made a beautiful pleasure drive, 1t
can not be allowed to remain in the
same dismantled condition that it has
for years. Pressure will be brought to
bear on the city council, and inside OF q
year The Row will be converted into
respectable residence portion OF the city.
All that is needed is to drive out the
present class of tenants, and the delap-
idated shells of dwellings would be torn
down to make room for handsome resi-,
dences. 1t is too bad to allow such val-
liable lots to be covered with such old
rattletraps right in the heart of the
city and only block from Broadway.
They are bound to go, and it Is tine
that something is done about it. The
council has but to say so and the
'chromos' will have to move. An at.
tempt to drive them out OF tho city
seems useless, but they can certainly be
confined in quarters more remote from
the center of the city, and where they
will not be continually before the eyes
of resp ectable citizens"
