 Declare His Defeat Served Him Right
 His Facilitating Measures Bitterly
 Condemned.
 LONDON, Nov. S.-The Times says: Though we believe that President Cleveland's inter nal policy and his administration more re- markable for capacity and uprightness than anything to which Republicans can point in recent year, we cannot profess regret at an event which may be regarded as an appro- priate penalty for his dis creditable subser- vience to the meanest influences of American politics and his culpa ble neglect of the de- cencies of international intercourse. We are sin
 cerely sorry that the change of government in
 wolves the retirement of Minister Phelps, who
 hss performed his duties with marked ability
 and adroitness, and has won our esteem and
 friendship.
 The News avs: Though President Cleve- land will depart from the White House with all the honors of a dignifed and successful administration, it can scarcely be said that he opened up the new era in American poli- ties that was proclaimed for him. His defeat is sore disappointment for the tariff re- formers.
 The Post says: President Cleveland's term of office has not justified the fair hopes with which Enlishmen regarded his election. His attitude toward England has been and doubt less would again be friendly. But for elec- tioA purposes he proved himself equally ready with his most violent opponents to fout England. It is impossible for English l men not to feel small gratitude on the fail ure of his unworthy tactics.
 l The Standard says: Cleveland's half- 1 hearted paltering with demogoguism and | statesmanship simultaneously caused him to | lose his reputation abroad as well as to for ] felt the confidence of great uneontsminat- | ed non-political body of American citizens l who could sweep the Irish from the ballot box if they pleased. At the same time we l have little cause to rejoice over the triumph I of the Republicans, The possible effects of | Harrison's success on the foreign relations of l America can not be regarded as favorable. l We have no reason to either regret or rejoice.

Street RIOt Between Whites and BIacks-ManY in the Crowd Shot and Two Fatally Wounded.
 NORFOLK, Nov. "A riot occurred in Portsmouth about o'clock to night between whites and blacks. Four hundred negroes marched down High street, the principal thoroughfare in the city, singing "Hang Grover Cleveland on Sour Apple Tree. 1" At the corner of Dinwiddie street large party of white men were congregated, and 8 white boy and negro had a scufie. The negroes came to the rescue of their comrade and were charged by the whites. Hardly had the fight commenced before shots were fired by the negroes. Then the widest confusion prevailed, and after about forty shots had been fired the negroes retreated. The whites then discovered that three Of their men had been wounded. Samuel Dust was shot in the leg, James Mahoney in the abdomen and John Reiger in the eye. The two latter are probably fatally wounded. Immediately af- ter the riot the whites began arming them~ selves Everybody is now armed Mayor Baird has called out the Old Dominion Guard and 100 special policemen have been sworn in. Intense excitement prevails, and the ne- groes are reported forming just outside the city. Another outbreak is feared. A de- tachment of the guards will be sent to dis persa the mob of negroes

Judge Thurman Utterly UncOncerned
 Plurality of 25, ,QOO Claimed by the
 Republicans.
 COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 7.-Probably the cool est and apparently the least interested man in the city to-day was Judge Thurman, who spent his time in the same way he has done for the past few years, quietly reading in his library. Being asked for an expression of his opinion he said he had nothing to say.
 The two State committees are still receiv- ing returns from the State and figuring up the gains and losses. The Republicans are claiming plurality of from 25,000 to 30,00O plete returns from about half the counties in the State On the other hand the Democra- tic committee says that complete or conser- yatively estimated returns from twenty two out of the eighty eight counties give evidence of Democratic gain of little over 5000, and if this ratio continues, which they scarce ly dare hope, they will carry the State. At any rate they say there is no doubt that they have cut down the Republican plurality to g small figure.
 For Congress the Democrats say their loss- es balance their gains and there is as yet no certainty that they have not made net gain.
 They nave lOsb lH the IWenGTsors6 Q1sCT1c6, but have gained in the Sixth and Tenth and are not ready to concede their defeat in the Seventh. On the other hand the Republicans claim net gain of one, having lost in the Tenth and gained in the Seventh and Twen- ty-first. Among the representatives in the next Congress from Ohio will be: Butter worth, rep; Caldwell, rep; Williams. rep. Voder, dem; Seney, dem.; Mercy, rep; Ken | nedy, rep; Cooper, rep; Hanes, dem. ThomnaOn rem Pu0s1ev ran Outhwaite
 dem.; Wiokham, ,rep.; Grosvenor, rep; Owen
 dem.; J. D. Taylor, rep; Mckinley, rep; E | B. Taylor, rep.; Smyser, rep. These do no ! include the Sixth district, which is claimed | by the Democrats. Mercy in the Seventh Ii | probably elected, but the Democrats say lat | information from Butler county shows grea Democratic gains and on that account the. are not yet ready to concede the defeat o Pattison. The Republicans claim Bothman' | election in the Sixth by 900, while the Demo crats are confident that Saltzgaber has | plurality of at least 600.

HOME RULES CHAMPIONS.
Gladstone's Cutting Sarcasm. - Th Irish ought N0t te Endure Wnequs
 

! GA60StOne7D cutting sarcasm - Tne Irish ought NOt to Endure Unequal Laws.
 BIRMINGHAM, Nov. "A great liberal
 meeting was held in Bingley hall this even- 1 ing. There was an enormous demand for tickets, two gineas being paid for the best seats, and the whole space left free to the public was crowded three hours before the speaking began. MT. Gladstone upon rising
 to speak was londly cheered. He said that
 Lord Harrington, who among the opponents
 of the liberal party spoke with the greatest
 weight, had said that the home rule question
 was dead. He, Harrington, had developed a peculiarity hitherto unsuspected-he show ed 8 vivid imagination. (Cheers). But he
 would see from these proceedings whether home rule was dead or whether the aid of an undertaken should be invoked to serve the absolute necessities of the other party. [Laughterl l. The Irish ought not to acquiesce in government by unequal laws They should resent government which while protesting for it whenever it found the laws action in- convenient.
 Apart from imperial necessities Irishmen must be the best judges as to how to deal
 with local affairs. MT. Gladstone illustrated at length the Mequalities in the laws under

 and the prison treatment of political offend
 CTS. Lord Harrington, he said, charged the Liberals with the responsibility for the evic- tions in Ireland. The responsibility in real ity belonged to those who refused to give the Irish tenant the relief from arrears that had
 been given to the land tenant. When Mr.
 Gladstone referred to the two wings of the Liberal party for the purpose of denouncing
 the broken pledges of the dissidents someone in the hall shouted cone wing has no fea~ thers." This was greeted with much laughter MT. Gladstone went over the old ground of the history of the Union. He said at the close of the last century the Protestants and
 Catholics in Ireland joined hands, but Tory wirepullers made it their business to intro-
 duce, mainly through Orange lodges religious animosity and intolerance between them. In conclusion he asked what the dissidents could ask for except speedy extinction. Could they reasonably expect Irishmen nnder present circumstances to change opinions that had been held seven centuriesq Why persist in such hopeless battle now
 that Ireland was fighting, not with threats of
 separation, but with confidence in power ful party whose decision she knew was SUD- ported by the affection of England. It
 would be better to endeavor to promote the
 affection that was ready to burst from every Irish heart and voice. The close of his ad- dress was the signal for prolonged cheering.
