We have met the enemy and are sorry
for it. For five months we have been
having a good time. We were eager for
the meeting and smiled when we thought
how we were going to wipe up the earth
with him. We provided ourselves with
ROSTERS and gunpowder, and were going
to properly celebrate the occasion. but
after reflection we have decided that we
are not prepared to have as much fun as
we expected. We appealed to the Dem
ocrats everywhere to come to the scratch
and the result in New York shows that
they interpreted that word differently
from what we intended. We wish the
meeting had not occurred, but it is too
late to grieve about it now, though We
wish it hadn't come off.
after a careful survey of the field we
are surprised that Texas has not Topped
over to the enemy. We will not under
take to say how it happened, for we
don't know. We had just got a good
hold Oh the public teat when it was
unceremoniously taken from us. 1t is
really too bad. As we sit wrapped in
solitude, and nothing else, with this cold
wave upon us, we would like to find
some word of comfort for our fellow suf-
ferers. We can think of nothing but the
grand principles of the Democratic party
and its gloriousj achievements, but we
mentioned that before the election and
have no heart 20 repeat IL now.

KANSAS GUESsES.

The following are examples of the
drivel which leading Democratic papers
in Kansas gave their readers just before
the election:
Another estimate on the vote in this
state: Elder 40, 600 votes; Botkin Is, COO:
Martin 10000: Humphrey 10000; to-
tai 265, 900. 'Rah for John Martin. -
Kansas Democrat.
Mr.. Democrat, you are away wrong.
Let us figure a little on the result in
Kansas. We give Elder 10000; Boti-in
1000: Humphrey 95 200; Martin $4,000:
total 100000. We will go you the oys-
tiers. Brother Tomlinson, that our figures
will prove nearer correct than yours.
'Rah for Cleveland and John Martin
Chetopa Democrat.
The EAGLE for October 7 made the
following estimate of the vote of Kan
sas:
Kansas will probably cast about $780,
900 votes next month. Harrison will
receive about 1S0, 900, Cleveland about
$4,000, Union Labor about $4,000, Prohi-
bition about 5000. scattering about
1000. That's the EAGLES guess.

While the size of the Republican ma
lority III the next house is still in doubt
and dispute, the fact is now as good as
conceded in all quarters worth consider
ing. General Boynton telegraphs the
Hartford Courant that the most conserv-
ative estimates, based on the latest re-
turns, make the majority nine to start
with. with a good ultimate probability
Of twenty-seven. That will do very
we'll. And even putting the extreme
case that by dint of counting and re-
counting in Democratic states the ma
jority at the meeting of the new con-
gress should be cut down for the time

out by the ingenious Mr. Breckinridge
of Kentucky, even that narrow but suf-
ficient margin would still mean & Repub-

such steps as viii hasten the desired end.

To be sure these new colonizers take the
chances of being hustled out OF it again
butfear no other consequences. Two
men with plenty OF money and expert

can only be conjectured. 1t is hoped
that if the colonization takes place be-
fore President Cleveland leaves the

In the meantime a bill may be passed
that viii remove the present restrictions

The BROOKLYN Eagle (DeIn.)
One of the most curious results of the
canvas Is to be noted in New Jersey.
The heart of the manufacturing indus
tries of the state' comprising the counties
of Essex, Hudson and Passaic, gives
Cleveland gain of nearly 5000 votes,
while in the First congressional district
of which the population is chiefly agri-.
cultural, Harrison has done better than
Blaine did. The general belief was that
any gain for tariff reform would be
among the farmers. and that any gain
for protection would be in the manufac-
turing districts. The result in New Jer-
sey is exactly the reverse of this"

The Victorious hustle.

The crusade which Mrs. Cleveland be-

smoke. The fact is that Mrs. Cleveland
has herself deserted the standard of the
anti-bustlers, and has resumed her tour

Washington reporter who was curious to
know whether the presidents wife had
permanently abandoned the hustle. He
had among his acquaintance young
woman who works in dressmaking es-
Enlistment patronized by Mrs. Cleye-

the sticking point the reporter asked the
young woman bluntiy few days ago:

Galloway the liar and defamer Of Kan
sas is still at large, still claiming to be a
citizen of Kansas. He has not been
asked for an explanation of his circular
and none is wanted of him. The only
thing wanted of him is oleave the state.
1t transpires that he misrepresented the
Indebtedness of this state hundreds of
millions. Where a line of railroad.is mort
gagged it must record the full amount of
such mortgage in every county through
which 1t runs, let the number be ten or
twenty. Galloway would charge up
the entire mortgage to every county.
Thus in Sedgwick county where the
mortgages are recorded for the entire
length of several railroads the total
amount was charged up to this county
and additional the same amounts re-
spectively to each and every county
through which the said roads run.
