MARYLAND lxPuBLioAS's OPINION.
Mr.. W. E. Meloy, member Of the local bar
and republican voter Of Prince Georges
County, Nd, says: The result comes from
the general disapproval of the financial policy
OF the Administration and the want of blfsi-
ness prosperity in the past three years. 1t was
the revival OF the old issue Of protection and
free trade under the teachings OF the English.
The people were not satisfied with the idea Of
Withdrawing protective duties. Then there
has been much dissatisfaction among democrats
with the Cleveland mode Of government, and
they have not been educated up 20 the point
that il Is impossible for all in party to obtain
Office"
WHAT Mr. CALVIN CHASE SAYS.
Calvin Chase was beaming this morning
when met by Q STAR reporter. His face was
wreathed in continual smile, and every word
he uttered was expressive of his extreme salts
faction at the result. To The STAR man he
said: 1.-THE cause Of Mr.. Cleveland's defeat
was due, to an extent to his tariff policy. The
Sackville letter may have damaged him some
what, but the main cause was his alliance TO
England, and the fine management Of Senator
Quay and Col Dudley. The oslored vote was
almost solid for Harrison, bearing out my pre-
diction some time ago that but a few colored
men would vote the democratic ticket The
people were tired of democratic rule il was
damaging TO the country, and another four
years Of democratic supremacy would have
embarrassed the country. Mr.. Cleveland was
about to enter into a contest with the little
negro government Of Hayti. The people saw
all this; they we're convinced that he would in
a short time involve the country in a war. Be-
sides all this the American people are Jealous
Of their manufactures; they felt that the sue
cess Of the democratic party would seriously
injure our home industries. These are the
reasons for Cleveland's defeat The result
means q more prosperous condition of the
country, protection OF the civil and political
rights Of the negro-in fact, the salvation Of
the oppressed negro in the South"
PERRY cARsoS's VIEWS
Mr.. Perry Carson this morning in speaking
Of the result to a STAR reporter, said: 1.-THE re-
suit is Just as I expected, New York will give
Harrison $1,000 and Indiana 5000 majority.
The result can be attributed to several causes,
trading for Hill in New York was one while
the old American farmer who had not taken
any interest in politics for twenty-five years
woke suddenly up and realized that he must
be protected. / understand" continued Mr.
Carson, chat Prof j. d. Langston has been
elected to Congress against Mahone's Wishes
and while am not a Malone Israelite, l think
send such a man to Congress to represent them.
In regard to ex-Minister Taylor's statement
that 100 900 negroes would vote the democratic
ticket, l think he fell short about that much.
We are coming in this time to stsy."
THE DEMOCRATS HoARDED.
George II. Boston, a well-known colored re-
publican, says the simple reason for the victory
is that ''the democrats didn't know what to do
with the money the republicans had saved for
them, and have kept it boarded up"
HE GOT THE HANDkERcHIEFs CHEAP.
Mr.. Louis d. Wine to-day had a boxful Of
silk handkerchiefs with American flags and
other republican emblems imprinted on them
He distributed them among his friends who
called to see him. Mr.. Wine had got in on the
ground floor" in the handkerchief trust A
democratic friend who is in the drygoods bust
ness, and confident of Clevelands election,
said to him yesterday that he did not know
what to do with his large stock of Harrison
handkerchiefs, which, he said, would be worth
less after to-day. They were worth $3.50 a
dozen and he offered to sell out for less than
cost. MIR. Wine took the lot. To-day he was
happy. ,,,s.
"wavered in my opinion from the day that
Harrison was nominated for the Presidency
and the tariff was made the issue of the cam
palgn- had too much faith in the good sense
of the American people to believe that they
would take even a small dose of the idea of
free trade. The election of Harrison insures
to our people a bright and prosperous future"
HOW MRS. GLEEsoN CELEBRATED.
Mr. Andrew Gleeson had not returned from
New York this morning, but it was evident that
some one was at home to carry out his wishes
in celebrating a republican victory. From the
center of the bay-window was a large
American flag, and on either side was
smaller American and Irish flag
In the parlor Mrs. Gleeson and Mrs Fla
herty received the congratulations of their
friends. Mrs. Gleeson told a STAR reporter
who called that she was as much of politician
as her husband. and was certainly as proud of
the result as he could be. Last night she
said she could not sleep until she heard the
news. Early in the evening she received a
dispatch from her husband saying, BE cheer
full old lady, everything is favorable" She
then waited and watched for some better news
and soon she received a second dispatch saying
that Harrison was surely elected She, how
ever, was not satisfied with this information
and waited until about o'clock when one Of
her democratic neighbors came along. He
said 'indeed Mrs. Gleeson, Harrison is the next
President am sorry to say" Il ran up
stairs" said Mrs. Gleeson and aroused the folks
and with the assistance OF young man had
the flag out before 2 o'clock.
"After satisfying myself about the result
retired, only to receive another dispatch from
my husband telling me of the gift of the glass
cane, which he said he would bring back with
him tonight, and which he knew would kill
every democrat in Washington"
