THE VOTE OF PENNsYLYAN1A

Philadelphia Times: Pennsylvania cast
a total of s99,s2s votes for President in
1884, of which Blaine received 47S, ,sO4
C.eYeland, S92, 1856; Butler, 17,OO2, and ST.
John, 1b,737, giving Blaine a plurality of
sl,ol9 and a majority of 40, $50 over all.
The total vote by counties this year is not
yet received, bnt 1t will doubtless exceed
1000, 900 votes, and HArrison's majority
oyer Cleveland is semi-ofiiclally reported at
7o,779, or only 1,24O less than the majority
given to Blaine In 1884.
The RepublicanS:gsin in so counties OF
the State and the Democrats In IT, and the
Democrats gains are all In Democratic
counties with the exception Of Erie (loss
240), Lackawanna (loss S,0o4), Lawrence
floss b1) and PhilSdslphia, where the loss Is
1865. The important Republican gains
are In Allegheny, 2,0l3; Delaware, 7ol
Fayette, s64; Lancaster, 1850; Tloga, sOS
and Washington. 1,103; Lackawanna was
largely effected bY the return of the bulk OF
Irish-AmeIlcan vote TO the Democrats, and
Philadelphia was affected by two known
causes-first, desire for tariff and tax re-
form and, second, by considerable Ger
man detection.
The significant lesson Of .he Pennsylvania
vote Is In the fact that while the Republi-

Harrison will be the next president, and
there is no reason why he should not be q

sixty millions of free people or not. He
will have great opportunities-both branch

ance with Republican policy. If he fails tc

will have no Que to blame but himself
His administration will be watched careful
ly and eagerly by the American people; anC

does not come up to the standard of the
peoples expectations there will be change

THE NEW YORK Sun IS TRYING HARD
10 assist in shaping Republican destinies b,

for Cabinet positions under General Harrl-

Secretary Of the the treasury, Warner Mil
leri Postmaster General, John C. New; At
torney General. Philip Morgan; for the
Navy Department, Senator Mitchell; for
the War Department, General Sherman, of
Ohio. Certainly the above men represent
line of men unequelled in craftsmanship

Cabinet the strongest possible. But we
opine to the belief that they are not the
man.

Henry Rowe and Sallie Logsden, living
in Rowletts, Kentucky, were engaged to be

Rowe asked that day be named for theiI
wedding. The girl replied that she would
name the day when he took his last drink
of liquor. Rowe said he had done so. and,
stepping off few PAGES, drew revolver

He Doesn't Deny It.

Mr.. Chandler called attention to
the omission in Saturdays Record
of two words in the report of a
colloquy between Senators Vest
and Hoar, the words omitted being
"that infamous" before the words
protective system" He under
stood that they had been dropped
by accident in the transcript of the
report.
Mr.. Vest said that he had neither
revised the manuscript nor read
the report in the Record. There
was no question that he had used
the phrase "That infamous pro-
tective system" He repeated IL
new. He meant by it, the tariff
now existing, and which the Re-
publican party had pledged itself
in 1884 to reform as to its inequali-
ties. 1t had infamous features in
it, and to those features he was OPP
posed. He had never said and
never intended to say, that the
Democratic party was opposed to
the entire industrial and protec-
tive system of the country. But
there were abuses and outrages in
it which he proposed to attack,
and he would never stop that at
tack until they were struck down.

Rock Roads to Paris.

The Paris Appeal is in favor of
rock roads from this city to Paris.
The people of Audrain county are
prepared to meet half way any
proposition of the Monroe county
people. The LEDGER has more
than once urged the necessity>of
gravel roads in Autlrain. The Ap-
peal says:
"We have not yet forgotten the
proposed rock road from Paris to
the Audraln county line, but as the
roads have been SO dry and good
during the summer, people gener-
ally have come to the conclusion
that our roads are good enough;
but it will not be long before the
same old cry will he heard about
bad, muddy roads, and everybody
will then say we need the gravel
road, and need ii badly. Now,
while the roads are smooth and
hard, is just. as good time as we
will ever have to talk about roads.
You all know what dreadful time
you have in getting TO tewn in the
spring, and how deep and tough
and sticky the clay gets, and with
this knowledge before you, you
ought to take a deep interest in
having better roads. Last spring
several hundred dollars were SUBJ
scribed for this proposed road, and

Democrats in the "WheeP' in
Missouri should remember that
"hold-over" State Senators elected
this year may determine the politi-
cal complexion of the United
States Senate. Democracy means
justice to all; the Democratic party
is the party of the agricultural in
terest, and the farmers of Missouri
can serve their own interests bet
ter by voting for the Legislature
than they can by running indepen-
dent, with no other probable result
than that of increasing the number

Ex-Goy. Edwards Dead.

John C. Edwards, who was Gov
ernor of Missouri, from 1S45 to
1S4S, died at Stockton. CAL, last
week at the ripe age of SO years.
When Governor Edwards entered
upon his term of office the annexa-
alton of Texas and the Mexican
war were lively topics of discussion.
In his message in 1916 Governor
Edwards recommended the COM
men school system of the State,
then new and untried, and showed
that he was public-spirited poll
tician by recommending internal
improvements, and also a geologi-
cal survey of the State. The
legislature at one time adopted res
olutions requesting the Governor
to furnish its members with GER
tain items of executive expendi-
ture. The Governors ire was
slightly aroused, and he rebuked
their peevish and small demand by
naming the many trifling things
that incurred expense, such as
backing boots, brushing dust from
a coat, bottle of old rye, and so
on, to degree that placed the leg
islature in ridiculous position.
The Governor delivered his vale
dictory on Christmas day in 1S4S,
when he said that the Governors
office did not pay, it was too de-
splcable to condemn any man to
hold, and that he had been COM
PEELED to walk the streets armed
against any assassin that would at
any time assault him.

Clay on Norton.

Il
In his speech at Troy last week,
Col. Green Clay, in speaking Of
Hon. R. H. Norton, made use of
about the following language: "Just
at the beginning of what I have to
say, I desire to speak few words
in regard to one of your townsmen.
l do not expect to use one word of
fattery, because I am in his home
city; I shall only say what 1 be-
lieve and know to be true-every
word of it. That is in regard to
Dick Norton, who was recently
nominated at Warrenton for Con-
gress in this district. I have been
in each of the last three Congress
sional conventions in this district.
At Montgomery City and New
London 1884; at Mexico, both con-
ventiens, in 1886, and at Warren
ton in 1888. I saw both the inner
and outer workings of all these
conventions, and 1 know what I
am talking about when I say that
1 always found Dick Norton ready
and willing to sacrifice his own
personal interests for the benefit of
the Democratic party; he was al
ways the first to make propositions
for harmony; the first to offer to
break the deadlock; he was the
fairest man of them all. And, too,
1 have always regarded Dick Nor
ton as the best and ablest Of all the
candidates. I have known them
all and say here and now that I
consider Norton the best man of
all the candidates for this distin-
guished honor, and I consider that
there was more than poetic justice
done when he was nominated at
Warrenton-he richly deserved the
honor" These remarks were fire.
quently interrupted by applause
from the crowd present, showing
how much the compliments were
appreciated by Norton's friends.

will now. Tile Chinese question

General Harrison upon that ques-

may not be proveing the charges
against him, the prejudice of the
people goes long way. 1 was up

Does Canada Mean War |?


The following silly special dated
at Kingston, Ontario, September
20, has been printed extensively
throughout the country and can be
considered nothing but "bosh, :"
pure and simple: Il learned to-
night that Adjutant-General Powell
of the Canadian war office has been
in Kingston on military thoughts
intent. This port was once fortifi-
ed against America by the British
government, but the Notifications
have become obsolete through
time and advance in military
science and would be useless in
modern warfare. A short time
after the retaliation measure of the
President there was a great deal
of talk in army circles about the
fortification of Kingston, and, al
though such matters are ususally
carried ON with the conventional
British secrecy, it was soon whis-
pered about that radical changes
were to be made. Then Adjutant-
General Powell appeared on the
spot, and tonight the common talk
of the place relates to the new
military fortifcation which, it is
said, will be both extensive and
expensive. These works will be
especially devoted to protect the
mouth of the Rideau Canal, which,
the Premier informed me, had
been built as military work by
Great Britain to serve as an inland
passage for Canadian commerce in
case the St. Lawrence route was
blocked by the United States.
There is quite hubbub in town
among the citizens about the Ad-
jutant- Generals movements. The
latter has refused to make any
statement, but the opinion is pre-
valent that Canada is about to con-
struct bulwark against America
which will cause Gibraltar, by
comparison, to seem like a weak
and silly thing"
