THE NEW WORKERS DISAPPOINTED
The Metropolis Wakes Up slowly TO Re-
alizntion of Facts.


alization of Facts.
The metropolis wakes slowly to the
realization of the fact that the Democ-
racy have once more lost control of the
national executive, says the New York
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun. 1t
was high noon before the disagreeable
certainty would be admitted, for the
carly reports of the morning kept claim
| ing that the West would come to the
rescue, and the forlorn hope was chung to
with firm tcnacity. But il was no use
the figures would not change. The local
| leaders IcIOiccd TINT the wounded form
of the party could not shake its CORY
locks and say. Thou did it. They made
q gallant fight, and go, down with honor.
| In Kings County the leaders charge the
big loss TO colonizing and the treachery
of Supervisor McKane. The mugwumps,
| too, failed to keep the position they took
in 1884 Kings County, so often the
bulwark of the democracy, failed the
party in the hour of need. Every lit
tie counted, and the small leaks sank
the ship, 1t may be too early to say
Just vet where the blame lies, but in all
probability no little portion will attach
itselt TO the management at the national
headquarters. The story of how the
educational campaign" was conducted
will be full OF interesting details, not all
|
progress. IL goes without saying that
the town, big as it is, has far too limited
q coniine for the Jubilant Republicans.
Premier Quay, grim and silent as usual,
proudly points to the results that, as he
predicted, would be his most convincing
| statement on the situation 1t is great
day FOR the Pennsylvania method and for
me American system of protection"
| Indiana got the weather New York ought
10 nave had for Cleveland luck.
Senator Quay Satisfied.
When the Sun correspondent walked
into the private room of Chairman
| Quay, at Republican headquarters, YES
terday afternoon, the Pennsylvania Sena-
tor greeted him with seraphic smile,
beautiful TO behold. He was standing
in a corner putting his cigar with an
AIR of contentment, while by his side
stood Mr.. John Wanamalxer. of Philadel-
phla, who personally collected and
brought over to Mr.. Quay 5000 600 to
help to obtain an honest expression of
popular sentiment in New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut. Mr.. Quay said
his work was ended and his heart was
glad. AT this moment member of the
Republican State Committee of New
Jersey was ushered in. He mournfully
announced that the Legislature had gone
Democratic for q certainty. A cloud for
moment passed over tho countenance
OF the chief manager of the Republican
campaign as he leaned toward the SUMS
correspondent and remarked: What o
pity; this makes the Senate q tie" The
correspondent told him he ought TO be
reasonable and be satisfied with what he
had, and after a moments reflection he
appeared to think so too. Certainly Mr..
Quay has no cause to be otherwise than
in the most pleasant frame of mind, for
he now bounds to the same rank in the
Republican party as occupied by Senator
German in the Democratic party in the
management of political campaigns. BY
the way, IL is well to remember that
Senator German was not at the head
of Democratic management in this cam
paign Senator Quay, as soon as he can
close up the finances of his committee,
will return home and take rest before
the meeting Of Congress.
Due to the Tariff
Mr. Morse, editor of the Sentinel, the
Democratic organ of Indiana, when asked
his opinion of the turnover said: II
Indiana has gone Republican, and things
look that way, it is due to the tariff, but
the issue is not dead, and this verdict
will be reversed. The Democrats-not
, the men who hold office or expect tt
get office, but the rank and file-recog
nize the vitality and value of tariff re
duction as a fundamental principle. Mr.
Cleveland would, perhaps, have gont
through again except for this economic
) issue, but the sound Democrats of In
z diana would rather go down with hin
on such an issue than TO win without it
The President has been little aheat
of the times, but the country will have
TO wake up to the true Importance of tn,
matter. ] think it will very quickly dt
! so, and the verdict Of 1888 will be re
Versed."
D Something to Reconcile.
When asked how he reconciled tn,
5 election of Bynum, pronunced low tar
iff man, to his theory of the defeat, Mr.
7 Morse said: Il" Probably the worlSingmeI
] are nowhere so thoroughly for low tariff
as they are here; at least those who ar
classed under the head of organized labor
These men voted solidly by Bynum, ant
to them is largely due the victory TO
the ticket in this city and county"
q Gen. Harrison has preserved an un
r broken calmness throughout the who'll
a excited period of the election. He keep
as much within doors as possible, 10
which he has had the good excuse of eX
i ceedingly bad weather the past two days
:, To-day he has received numerous con
gratulat0ry and encouraging telegram
from all parts of the country, but ha
commltteu nlmSelI TO no expression
G undue citation. He was particularly
Y well pleased this afternoon to reeciv
II tho momentarily increasing evidence o
G the Republican success in Indiana.
d is q rather curious feature of the result
n that when he is President he will haV
for his immediate representative in Con
}, gress, lOw-taritf Democrat, Mr.. Bynum
Those who know Gen. Harrison her
:, speak of him as n pious, but not fanati
IL cal, man. He has long been q Sunda
school teacher, and is now the teache
d of an adult Bible class. He is rated a
J. an able lawyer and no one in Indians
n doubts his firmness or his nerve. Al
If Republicans unite in expressing the con
n viction that Benz Harrison will be nc
+ body's President and those who eXpec
" to run him when he is in the White Hous
~ will be mistaken.
II Col, Dudley Himself Again,
~ Col Dudley was himself, and screnit,
: once more perched upon his brow. II
I looked at The Sun correspondent wit
an arch twinkle in his eye, and said
l. Don't you think German had bette
IS been at home looking after Maryland
al The Colonel insisted ON claiming tn
Ii whole earth. He wanted the two Senu
20 tors from Delaware and West Virginia
and not less than thirty Republican mt
a jorty in the House of Representatives
~ In all probability he will not abate an
20 of his claims until the official return
y come in, A.l..i L.
