Watterson's Anguish.

Henri Wstterson, of The Louisville
Courier Journal, who fred the last gun
here for the Democrats, is fighting mad
over the defeat Of his party and he strikes
right and left in his rawlings. He hits
President Cleveland in this fashion in his
paper OF November 10:
"Mr. Cleveland goes down among his
own people, because of the friends he
chilled int indifference, or converted in
to enemies, partly through over-con6-
dence in the the altar of his destiny and
partly through the lack of those amenities
which 60 so far to make men strong, or
weak, on occasions OF emergency. When
the trial came, there was literally ne one
among the professional politicians to make
the presidents fight, his fight; no one
among the great capitalists to advance
considerable sums OF money; no one
among the leaders inspired by the sublime
energy of personal devotion, and no en-
thusiasm among the masses, other than

Republican Qualification.

The Republicans of Watertown and
vicinity celebrated the great victory
achieved in the state and Nation at the
election November 6, last evening. The
heavens smiled on the OCCASION with clear
skies, an suspicious omen for the coming
Republican administration at Washing
ton. One hundred guns were fired and
two bOntires, one on the east side and one
on the west were lighted, music, filled the
air and there was a general outburst of
enthusiastic feeling among the Republic
ans. Turner Hall contained the largest
meeting ever held within its doors, Con-
gresham l.. B. Caswell and Governor
elect Hoard addressing the throng of peo-
pie upon the issues OF the campaign
through which the Republican party tri-
umphed in the election just passed. The
meeting was presided over by G. B. Skin
ner and the proceedings were interspersed
with the singing of campaign songs by
the WATERFOWL Glee club. At the close
of the meeting fine display of fireworks
were sent up from Turner park, fitting
fuale to the event, which will be pleas
antly remembered by all who participated
in it.

that brought out by the cold issue of tax
reform, or started systematically by the
figure of the Old Roman flashing fitfully
through the confusion and tumult of the
fray. To all approaches for help, which
the president thought he had no right to
give, his one answer was that this was
not the administration bat the peoples
battle. When he was asked directly from
National Democratic headquarters
whether he was for us or against US, he
smiled pleasantly and considered that
which was only half jest as all tribute
to his integrity. Az indeed it was, though
at the expense of his wisdom. 1t is true
to say of him that be did not raise his
hand to help himself from the beginning
to the end of the campaign; that he did
not encourage sny body else to help him,
aud that in many cases he did not permit
his official subordinates 10 help him. This
was magnificent, but it was not politics
Undoubtedly it, and all that hadpreceded
it, made the difference in the vote of the
state Of New York. IT cost US and him
the loss of it,
The Democrats here will smile over the
intimatiou made by Henri Of the lack OF
funds to carry on campaign work. The
fact is money for election purposes was
never known to be 40 plenty among the
Democracy as at the present election.
And with all due regard to MIR. Waiter
son, Cleveland's $4,000 check to help
himself ought to have some weight, when
Mr.. Cleveland is charged with "net rails
ing bis hand" Eight years ago Mr..
Watterson, becoming eDamored of the
"Star-eyed Goddess" had the free-trade
plank inserted in Hancock's platform.
Towards the closs OF the campaign Han
cock repudiated this plank upon the
theory that the tariff issue was "a local
question:" and Mr.. Watserson very
naturally attributed defeat to the free
trade plank having been spit upon by the
candidate. At the St. Louis convention
Wa,terscn was master Of the platform
ceremonies and the resolutions breathed
forth free-trade and. its blessings. The
reputation that this platform and it's can
didates received ON Tuesday, November
9Th, is known to most people, except,
perhaps, to the editor Of The Jefferson
Banner and few others, who have not yet
come in out of the Democratic woods. We
have covered the situation by way of
showing why Mr.. Waterson hasjust cause
for the irritation he feels. He can
find solace in the thought, however, that
Watertown has given an increased Demo
cratic majority of 96 over four years ago,
and that cannon and rooster are
brought out in The juneau Telephone to
herald the astonishing tidings that Dodge
county went Democratic.
