The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-11-08

The returns which we publish this morn
ing indicate that the republicans have car
ried the election. This result was fore
Swallowed in our dispatches yesterday
morning. Mr. Cleveland is not elected
unless he has the electoral vote of New
York. All the counties Of that state have
| been heard from, and the returns show
plurality for Gen. Harrison of over 1000.
Chairman Brice says that he does not yet
concede the election of Gen. Harrison.
There may be errors found in the Off
cial count that will show a result different
from that indicated by the returns which
have been received. We hope that there
may be, but we see no reason now to think
there will be. The indicated plurality in
New York is too great to be overcome by
such errors as are likely to be discovered.
The democrats have made great gains in
some of the states, but they are not sufficient
to give them those states. If the gains ad
been in New York they would be in posi-
ton to rejoice. These gains, however, so
far as can be judged at present, show that
the loss of the election by the democrats
cannot be attributed to their attitude on
t. e tariff question. The cause of their de-
feat must be looked for elsewhere.
Mr. Cleveland did not get rs large vote
in the city OF New York as he had q right
to expect, and the reason he did not is not
hard to find. The fight between the demo
cratic factions there alarmed the democratic
managers, because they saw that it threat
ened danger TO the democratic cause.
1t is impossible to say at present how the
next House of Representatives will stand.
The democrats have suffered losses in some
localities and gained. in others, but the in
dications at present are that they have
majority.
1t is too early to indulge in speculations
about the effect the result of the election
will have upon the south. If it were not for
the race problem, the southern people would
feel only profound disappointment, but
now their disappointment is accompanied
with apprehensions of troublous times for
their section. Let us hope that these ap
prehensions will prove to be unfounded.

Gen. Buffers Chewing Gum.
From the Chicago Herald.

Chicago ladywho recently went east with
little niece whom she was taking to school met
with most amusing experience on the train
en- route. Somewhere down in New York
state short, fat man, with peculiar looking
eye, entered the car and took a seat directly
opposite the lady and her little charge. The
little one surveyed him closely for few mo-
ments and then, turning TO her aunt, she whisp-
cred: "Auntie that's Ben Butler" The lady
had not taken any particular notice of the new
passenger but at this she looked over at him,
and III an instant recognized him, as the little
girl had from the familiar caricatures of the
illustrated papers. In a few moments he drew
forth a crumpled bit of paper and then began
search through all of his pockets for pencil with
which TO jot down. something that had just oc-
Cured to him. Seeing that his search was
frmtess, the lady leaned over and offered him
her pencil He took it with polite acknowl
edgement, and made his little memoranda
after which he returned the pencil with polite
bow and smile. For few moments his mind
appeared to be occupied with something and
then he seemed to recover himself again
Fumblng ia the pocket of his overcoat he drew
forth small package and passed it over to the
lady, with pleasant nod. She hesitated a
moment, then accepted the Offering and found,
to her amused surprise. that it was fresh
package OF Yucatan chewing gum. That Mr..
Butler had a good supply of the article was
evident 10 her from the vigorous working of his
jaws, and she appreciated his effort to recog-
nlZe her Kindness in loanng him her pencil

New York's Democratic Factions.

New YOrk'S Democratic Factions.
There is no doubt that the fight between
Tammany and the County Democracy In
New York city caused Mr. Cleveland to
lose many thousands of votes there. The
fight was an exceedingly bitter one, and
there is reason for thinking that both fac
tions sacrificed their national ticket to OBJ
tain votes for their local tickets. Early in
the morning on the day of election it was
reported that this sort of work was going
on, and members of the national democratic
committee, becoming satisfied that the re-
port was true, endeavored to check the
trading They thought they succeeded, but
the result of the voting shows that they did
not.
The very marked difference between the
vote Of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Hill in New
York city can be explained only on the
ground that very large percentage of the
democrats who voted for Gov. Hill did not
vote for Mr.. Cleveland. Gov. Hill could
hardly have received any considerable num-
Der of republican votes. The statement is
made that as many as four republican votes
were given to Tammany's or to the County
Democracy's local ticket for one for Gen.
Harrison. Under circumstances like these
it is not to be wondered at that Gov. Hills
vote was much larger than that of Mr..
Cleveland.
! The Tammany and County democracy
| politicians don't care SO much for the cleo
ton of democratic president as they do for
the control of the spols of New York city.
The patronage of that city is immense. The
amount of taxes collected each year is some
thing over S37, 10000 The federal patron
age, which the President controls in New
YORK, amounts TO very little in comparison
with that of the mayor of New York.
Mr. Hewitt does not like the President,
and although he supported him, it
| is doubtful if he did SO will
ingly or enthusiastically. His followers of
course, we're influenced by his course to
some extent, and therefore Lad less
scruples about trading him off for their
local candidates, than they would have
had if Mr.. Hewitt had showed a stronger
desire for Mr.. Cleveland's election.
| The democratic factions in New York
city cause the national Democratic party a
| great deal of uneasiness at every presi-
Dental election. 1t would be good thing
for the party if these factions were to dis
appear aud the democrats of New York
city were to work together tremendously.

The Baroness.

Miss Maud would marry a title,
SO she went far over the sea;
While there she married baron,
And baron indeed was he.
For barren he was of money,
And of lands most barren was he;
His title, too, it was baron
But spent with doube-r.e.
Oh marry for love, young maidens,
And not for a long pedigree,
The foreign noble has nothing
Which he holds in common with thee.
Then think of Maud and her title :
Far better spinster to be,
Than marry and often be signing
For the dear old home cross the sea.

Crime in Lauress County.

Some of the good people of Dublin, Ga,
were disposed to complain of an article
which appeared in the MORNING NEWS few
weeks ago, entitled, BLOOD Red Badges of
Whisky" and statements were made in the
Dublin newspaper denying that the infor-
nation upon which the article was based
was correct. The MORNING NEWS after
ward published an interview with the lady
who furnished the information, and she ex-
pressed the belief that the pastors of the
churches in Dublin would sustain her state
ments.
The article in question related to scenes
and incidents in Dublin on the occasion of
the prohibition election in Laurens
county, and the MORNING News
suggested that such demonstrations as the
colored people were led to make on that oc-
casion In behalf of whisky should not be toler-
ated-that, in fact, they should be severely
condemned, because they were calculated
to encourage spirit that would eventually
manifest itself in lawlessness, and in the
commission of grave crimes.
Yesterday our dispatches contained an
account of the murder of the marshal Of
cording to the account. Scarboro had been
in Dublin several days, and had been under
the influence of whisky all the time.
Whisky made him a murderer, and it was
also. indirectly, the cause of the marshals
terrible death
The dispatch stated that the murder of
Watson was the third murder committed
in Laurens county within the last thirty
days, and while 1t is not stated that whisky
was indirectly the cause of all of them, it
probably was In the face of this state
of affairs, was not the suggestion of the

Bad for His Stomach.

Sam Harrison, q young man who has
been glass eater In dime museums for
years, is in Bellevue hospital He Is Ill of
acute indigestion. The trouble was
caused by hts abnormal diet. His glass
eating, nevertheless, was, In a measure,
tricky. His performance consisted In
taking goblet, passing it around among
the spectators to let them be convinced
that It was genuine glass, and then biting
out largo mouthfuls from the edge of It,
which he crunched and ground between
his teeth and finally swallowed. Witnesses
of the feat usually watched for evidence
that he kept the broken glass in his mouth,
and waited for an opportunity to spit 1t
out, but he always wound up by drinking
copiously of water, In manner which
seemed to preclude such retention.
3 Harrison Is so sick from the disorder OF
his stomach that he viii not return to
the museums, and so he was willing to
tell the attending physician how his glass
eating was done. The goblet was not
glass, but was composed of transparent,
brittle composition of isinglass and sill
cate. This had the feeling and appear
ance of glass, and the difference could not
be detected by an inexpert examiner. The
substance was pretty hard, however, and,
chew 1t as he might, 1t went into his
stomach In state not at all conducive to
health. Gradually 1t brought on gas
tritis, and this Is what ais him now. He
will never chew imitation glass again un-
til somebody invents' less harmful COM

An Arab woman's Dress.

Of whatever rank or station an Arab
woman may be, her dress consists only Of
q shirt reaching down to the ankles,
trousers (not dr&wers) and kerchief for
the head. The material varies, of course.
Rich people have gold brocades of many
patterns, velvets and silks richly trimmed
During the hot season plain white oalicoes
or muslins are worn. Shirt and trousers
are never of the same pattern. The shirt
must not be too long, that 1t may not hide
the rich embroidery Of the trousers or the
two anklets; number of little golden
bells are suspended from one of these,
which make pretty tinkling sound OF
every step. Two long tasse1ed ribbons
hang loosely over the back or on both
sides of the head, from the band that is
worn round the forehead The silk kerr
chief reaches down to the ankles.
In her walks an Arab lady puts on the
"schele," which is shawl, waterproof and
cloak, all in one. The sehele Is large
shawl or mantllla Of black silk, more or
less richly trimmed with gold or silver
borders, according to the wealth and taste
of its owner. This is the only wrapper
an Arab lady uses until it is completely
worn out, It's fashion never changing;
even the greatest and richest ladies do
not possess more than one schele at a
time.-"Memoirs of an Arabian Princess"
