suit of his honest conviction. Mr..
Cleveland was very much disapoint-
ed at the action of the Republicans
that he had kept in office, who voted
aud worked against him with all
their might. Mr.. Cleveland states
in language that cannot be misun-
derstood, that Hill and Tammany
Hall treated him squarely, but he
makes no such statement in regard
to Hewitt and his crowd, who, as
stated in the first paragraph of this
letter, are the parties that are re-
sponsible for tho defeat of the ma
tional Democratic ticket.
The loss of the House was partic-
-ularly unfortunate just at this time,
as it will enable the Republicans to
admit as states all the territories
that are Republican in politics,
which will give them at least four
more Senators and the vote of two
more states in the electoral college
of 1892. That they will admit the
Republican territories and keep out
the Democratic territories, cannot
for moment be doubted by any
one at all familiar with Republican
methods.

ALBANY, N Y, November 8
Gov. Hill was serenNded tonight at
the executive mansion, and, in his
address to the thousands OF persons
who thronged the lawn and terraces,
occurred these utterances:
aOur success in the gubernatoriai
contest is marred, however, by the
shawow of national disaster. In
common with every true Denfoefat,
i greatly regret the defeat of presi5
dent Cleveland in the State and the
nation. He deserved better at the
hands Of the people of this country
Honest, brave and courageous, he
CALAMITY led his party in the great
contest for tariff reform aud suffers
defeat. owing to false clamor, unjust
prejudices, unfair representations
and the gigantic and combined eff
forts of all the inO1opoiisfs iii the
country. He did his duty, as he
understood it, regardless of person
al or political consideration, and he
should have been sustained by the
taxpayers, consumers and masses of
the people, whose true interests he
desired to subserve and whose
rights he unseIfshly endeavored to
maintain. 1t is not now necessary
or profitable to inquire whether the
issue which he so boldly made,
might not more wisely have been
earlier presented or postponded toia
later period 1t is sufficient to say,
that as the trusted leader of the
Democratic party. after a full and
careful consideration of the whole
subject, he deemed that the best
and truest interests of the country
required that the issue should be
made at this crisis, and with that
patriotic and deliberate conclusion,
when once reached, there should
have been prompt acquiesence."

An Over.

The battle is over and the slain
are many There is joy and there
is disappointment, but for the av-
erage citizen God still reigns and
the government ut Washington
still lives.
1t was not campaign of strife
and bitterness, but eorrrption was
rampant The use of money in
elections has become . national
evil. In spite of law, in spite of
vigilance, the political hummer and
floating voter are everin the market
and always find ready buyers.
There are perhaps in Wetzel
county to-day many who ought to
be permanently DISTINGUISHED for
having sold their votes, and there
are no doubt men OF prominence in
West Virginia who have committed
offences that would send them to
the penitentiaryy under the statute.
This state of things must not eX-
ist longer, for in the end 1t will de-
stroy American liberty WetEel
Democrat
The above applies to our county
as well as Wetzel for here we had
the same state of affairs. Rigorous
measurers should be instituted to
punish all offenders against the
election laws.

Gel Ready For Next Time.

In 1889 the Democrats, led by
the gallant Hancock met a defeat
manifested by far larger popular
majorities than those Harrison has
just received
Then we carried of tho Northern
States only New Jersey ard Cali
tornia, the latter by a plurality of
only 102, while New Jerseys. ma
jority Yves 2,010-thc smallest Dem
ocratic majority in that State since
1872. Besides, the Republican ma
iorities in all the Northern States
averaged hundred per cent more
than IN the present instance New
YorlI's majority for Garfield was
21,O33, while that of Indiana was
nearly 1000. Garfeld's popular
plurality was 7,019. Yet in 1884,
four years later, we elected Grover
Cleveland over the most dearly be-
loved Republican irtte whole gang,
and that, too, by a plurality of near
ly $4,000. The Democratic heart,
therefore, need not be respondent.
The skies frowned more sullenly in
1880 than they do now, and the pre-
judices of war were then more fer
vent.
Flpe Republicans will have the
full control of the Government, and
can be safely trusted to run their
necks in the moose in four years.
Keep up your organizations and
your spirits as we'll, and be ready
TO try it again four years hence

Tariff Reform The winning
fSSVIa

Wheeling Register: 1t is an note
worthy fact, says the Pittsburg Post,
that New Jersey and Connecticut,
the two greatest manufacturing
States in the Union in proportion
to population, and especially lead
ing in the number OF .lleir intelli-
gent skilled artisans, both indorsed
tariff reform by giving a majority
for Cleveland. The majority in
both States came from the ranks of
labor, educated above the reach of
free trade" and "pauper wages"
clap trap.
1t is also worth bearing in mind
that New York city, the greatest
manufacturing city on the continent,
with It's tens of thousands of skilled
and industrious mechanics, has
given Grover Cleveland, the cham
pion of tariff reform, an Increased
majority over what it gave him four
years ago of abopt $4,000 Repub-
-lican Chicago also gives him ma
'jority, while Boston, the seat of
Yankee culture and mechanical
ingenuity Endorses Cleveland's tar
if principles by the big majority of
10000.
1t was in the remote country dis
triets that the Republicans made
their gains, where the people are
not we'll informed on the tariff issue
and where the Republicans could
work upon the eredality of the peo-
pie and work their Vulnerable
schemes of fraud and colonization
almost with impunity.
Look at Wheeling city of labor
ing men, she gave tariff reform her
emphatic endorsement. And so it
goes. 1t is but question of time
till the people in the country arc
fully up on this alI-fmportant ques-
tieu of tariff taxation. It is on the
shoulders of the farmer especially
that the tariff burden weighs most
heavily and it will not be long be-
fore he finds it out.
Says the Pittsburg Pest
'tIt is the winning issue of the
future, because it is in the line of
modern progress, is right and just
in itself. and appeals to the political
moralist and practical philanthrop-
list. The OILY thing we fear is that
the Republicans, emulating the
Tories eff England on a certain oc-
casion,. will steal our clothes. The
Whigssuffered in that way on the
franchise question"

The MAN WHO KnoFs il AN.

The man-who can readily explain
how the whole thing happened is
making himself very numerous just
now in all parts of theeountry. At
almost every street corner you will
find him in the act of expatiating
upon the causes that led up to the
defeat of Cleveland and the election
of Harrison.
The fact that SO large a number
of people are now industriously ex-
erting themselves in this direction is
easily accounted for. The role is a
very simple one. Political prophecy
is among the most difficult of under
takings, but the recounting of polit-
ical history is as easy as falling off
log. AS the ancient apothegm
puts it, a mans hindsights are al
ways better than his foresights.
This simplifies the whole business
of the past-campaign elucidator.
He merely brings his hindsights
into play and thus accomplishes his
mission. He will conclusively de-
monstrate. at one time, that Cieve-
land was laid out on account of the
tariff. AT another time he will
make it clear that the tariff had
nothing to do with it, and that
Cleveland was knitted by Hill and
Hewitt. Subsequently the Sack
vile letter and the hostile Irishvote
figure as the operating cause of de-
feat.
The man who TINS clarifies the
clouds that hang around the recent
cyclone of Republican success and
cataclysm of Democratic disaster
knows all about it, and is so en-
thusiastic over his intimate knowl-
edge of the bottom facts that he is
industriously tracking the town
from place to place in search of op-
portunities to communicate his val
liable and exclusive knowledge to
his fellow-citizens
In few days, however, this ex-
palmer and demonstrators of cam
paign results rs liable to become an
intolerable bore. The community
may rise in its wrath and scatter
his fragments to the wind. The
fact that Harrison got more votes
than Cleveland explains the whole
business, and that is about the only
explanation the people want.-Er.

THE TAX LEVY.
The City Rate Estimated at S1.5O
on Each 500.

City Auditor Teed has prepared an
estimate OF the amount of money that
will be needed this year by the city gov
ernment. The assessment for 1867
amounted to $1s, ,45s, ,535 and the rate Of
the levy was $1.60, which provided
$27S,649 for the expenses of the city.
The assessment fer 1878 amounted to
$27, 1915, 1888, and the rate was $l.30,
which brought in $342, ,364.S7 for ex-
penses. This year the assessment is
$39, ,479,172 and the rate is $1.50, provid-
ing $592, ,1S7.5S for the expenses
of the city. There are several
reason why the amount OF money to be
raised for expenses has been increased.
In the first place $4,000 is needed for
bridges to be built across Downey
avenue, First, Seventh and Ninth
streets. Then $4,000 additional will
have to be raised for the completion Of
the new City Hall. These two amounts
alone make an increase of $l20,000. 1t
was also found that the estimates of last
year in relation to several funds were too
small, and in addition to an increase for
this years expenses an amount will have
to be raised to supply the deficiency OF
last year.
The assessment rolls this year are a
marvel of neatness, and great credit is
due Assessor Stephenson for the improve
ments he has introduced in the system
of arranging the rolls. There will be no
double assessments this year, and every
property owner will be able to find his
assessment at moments notice.

KILLED BY LUMBER.
A Pile of Planks Fall Upon Guy G..
VANDERBILT,

A fatal accident occurred yesterday in
the lumber yard of Kerckhoff & Gunner,
on Also street, little before noon. A
workman by the name of Guy @. Van
derlip was crushed by the falling of pile
of lumber. He was at work between two
piles with a fellow-workman by the
name of Trowbridge. There was no rea-
son to suppose that the lumber was not
fixed securely, and the men were not on
their guard. The pile which toppled
over was built Of planks twenty-four feet
in length and foot wide, laid in parallel
tiers. Vanderlip was inserting lath in
the opposite pile when it came down on
him.
The other men in the yard ran to the
spot and hastily threw off the lumber.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-08-09

By the time Vanderlip was drawn out
he was unconscious and nearly dead.
His neck was broken and his face was
crushed in. The body was taken to the
morgue and an inquest held in the even
ing. Evidence was given by Edgar K.
Trowbrldge and Erastus P. Berdick, two
OF the workmen in the yard. 1t appeared
that the accident was unavoidable.
The dead man was a native of New
York, single and aged 80 or 35 years.
he had been in the employ of Kerckhoff
u Gunner for about year.
