Cablnetmaking for Harrison is
going on at a great rate. He will
attend to that himself when the time
comes. The new Congress has also
plenty of advisors. One thing upon
which all are united, is the admission
of the Territories as States. Now
that American tariff ideas have pre-.
vailed, let the American House of
Lords go next, and make the elec-
ton of U. S. Senators devolve di-
rectly upon the people. That's the
only American way.

Causes, Results, and Expectations.

The cause of the great political
revolution in this country is told in
few words. Protection always won
when the issue was openly against
Free Trade. Labor of all kinds fears
free trade, and we'll it may. Labor
was aroused, and Labor is the Lion
of America.
In this State the Republican par
ty stood upon principles of common
interest with the national principles
of the party,-the development of
our home industries and protection
to the labor and capital therein en-
gagged. The standard bearer was a
fit representative of all that is and
will be grand and progressive in
the history Of West Virginia.
GEN. NATHAN GoFF! A progressive
people in promising State like this,
look and live in the future, not in the
past, and the Republican party
builds for the new dominion. Golf,
Bowers, Mason, Flick, Atkinson,
and the whole ticket, were men who
are looking ahead for a great future
for the party and the people.
The laws West Virginia needs are
IN the same direction,-practical,
tending to promote the growth of
the State,-to equalize taXation,-
simplify their execution, and provide
for a business management of the
State government.
The causes that led to the defeat
Of the Democratic party must be
avoided by the Republicans,-such
as the introduction of cumbersome
and scheming laws and wrangling
caucuses and legislative sessions.
Resolutions to give railroads Pinker-
ton detective power to guard their
property in time of peace TO have
the State issue bonds for one million
or eight million debt she does not
owe, and pay 3 per cent. for thirty
five years, with all the powers and
inducements of speculative ring
snch laws the people do not want
and will not have. So with the ex.
tension of the Legislative session at
Il cost of thousands of dollars,-the
voters have said NO, not until it is
shown that it is necessity in the
interest Of the people, and not a de-
vice of the politicians to carry out
their schemes.
The State institutions want less
offensive partisan management
cleaner records and a more careful
business transaction of the duties
and responsibilities of their public
officers.
Much is expected from change of
government in this State, and we
feel sure that as long as such men
as Golf and young and able leaders
like him in the Republican party
in the Legislature, Congress and the
State offices, manage public affairs,
there will be a satisfactory 'change"
for the neOpla of West VIRGINIA.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IL, 1888.
The Presidency, the Senate and
the House of Representatives, all
won in one. day, gives Republicans
the right to be proud of their party,
its principles and its achievements.
There is a report that an extra
session of the Fifty first Congress
will be called Immediately after the
fourth of March. Just how much
ground there is for the rumor can
not say-probably very little, but
at any rate it has caused the organi.
zatiou of the next House to be talked
about. The contest for the speaker.
ship will probably be between Reed,
of Maine and Mckinley, Of Ohio,
with Cannon, Burrows and several
looming up as dark horses. Most
persons here seem to think, at this
time, that Mckinley, owing greatly
to bis actions at the Chicago conven
ton this year, will have an easy
walk over. But in talking their
opinions it must be kept in mind
that the people expressing them are
not the ones who will nominate and
elect the Speaker of the Fifty-first
Congress. Everybody argues that
Hon. Edward Mcpherson, who is
entitled to great credit for bis shrewd
and able management of the repub-
lican congressional committee in the
campaign just past, will resume his
old position as Clerk Of the House
under the new organization. For the
other prominent positions, Door
keep, Sergeant-at-aIms and Post
master, no particular favorites seem
to have the lead so far.
Next Thursday, the daughter Of
Secretary Endicott is to be married

President Cleveland must contem-
plate with supreme contempt the &C
tions of thousands of his best friends,
who in the days of his success defend
ed his course and lavished praises and
compliments upon him for his stability.
his nerve as they called it, and his
great, grand and prosperous admins
tration as they saw it then. Now they
turn their backs upon him in his de-
feat, condemning his course, and seek
to make new friends out of old enem-
les. Such is politics,-most despi-
cable and ungrateful. Mr.. Cleveland
was better than his party or his poll
ticians. The greed of his best friends
and advisers made them look for ''re-
venue only "-only for spoils. Now
that they have neither, they have no
use for Cleveland. After all he is
wise in his day, and says he was de-
feated because Harrison got more
votes than he did.
