FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHGTON, NOV. 1Ztn, looo.-
Senator German came from New
York direct to Washington a day or
two ago, and had a long conference
with Mr.. Cleveland, during which it
is thought they went over the various
reasons assigned for the Democratic
defeat. Mr.. Cleveland takes the mat
ter philosophically, and loses no OPP
portunity to state his belief in the
honest support given him by Governor
Hill and his friends in New York.
Said prominent official yesterday
ssDuring the next four years the cause
of the disaster of last Tuesday will be
stated as thousand and one different
things. believe that it was caused
by the position taken on the taariff
question during the last two months
of the campaign by the stump speak
ers of the party under orders from the
National Committee. During the
long discussion of the Mills bill in the
House, its friends constantly denoun-
ced the protective tariff as legalized
robbery, and yet those same men were
compelled to 60 on the stump and
state that the Mills bill was a protec-
tive measure, because somebody had
become panic-stricken at the cry of free
trade. This action undoubtedly dis
pusted thousands of voters who are be-
levers in free and unrestricted trade

The Dela,oarean is after the editor
of ssone little newspaper" published in
Middletown. We are quite sure we
are not the parties for whom the dou-
Discharged, red-hot shot was intended,
and thankful we are therefore, as it
would be quite as difficult to impress
on our mind that we are an " idiot"
as it was that we are a knave. "
Slowly, brother John, slowly, he is but
new beginner.
1T Just occurs to us to confirm a
conclusion of the Era's, printed under
date of Oct. 18th 1888 which we re-
print above. We know the Era was
not the target for which the Delawarean
aimed. Any lingering doubts it
may have on the snbject may be clear
ed away, first by our acknowledgements
that we are the party intended, and Sec
ondly that Mr.. Salisbury was neither
cunning for idiots or his friends; either
of these words let the Era down easy.

THERE is some talk among the
Democrats of sending delegation to
Gov. Biggs to propose that he request
the resignation of his Republican Sec
retary of State, John P. Salisbury.
We hope it will be done. Since the
independent cie,cs on party nominations
held by Secretary Salisbury, in the
campaign just closed, would lead us to
believe that the Republican party is
deprived of a valuable counsellor by
his retention in his present position by
our worthy governor.

WE Middletowners as we often call

WE MiddletoWners as we often call
ourselves are, in highly respectable,
quasi moral, and ultra dignified way,
about as goddess a community as you
may chance to find. In other words,
we observe and confirm to, in certain
degree, the religious duties devolving
on us, while the spiritual advancement
or ''the inside Of the cup and platter"
is held as a secondary, and therefore
much less important matter. Nine
teenth century Pharaisaism is wonder
fully prevalent in our midst and while
the pastors of our different churches.
aided by not few earnest laymen are
constantly and prayerfully seeking to
antagonize this worldly tendency, it
must be discouraging to them to mark
their inability, without further assist
ance, to check its advancement. We
have thought it in line with our duty,
to call attention to this need and sug-
gest that much Encouragement might
be given to those deeply interested in
the noble work of making humanity
better, in a way that would not be a
drain on either the time or pockets of
our citizens. A series of services in the
nature of revival are now being held
in the Protestant Episcopal Church,
conducted by the Rev. DR.. Watkins
OF Philadelphia they are interesting
and instructive to degree far beyond
the ordinary. Attend these meetings !;
attend them with a view to being
benefited, and we feel assured none
will be disappointed. DR.. Watkins
seems pre-eminently qualified to aid in
that spiritual growth, the fundamental
necessity for which exists in our midst
to wonderful extent. His sermon to
men on last Sunday, was both MASTER
ly and impressive and its influences
are already seen and felt, if in no other
way, in the unusally large audiences
gathered each morning and evening to
hear him. The rector of st. Anne's is
to be congratulated in his choice of SO
earnest diciple and advocate in the
cause of Christianity.

Saturday, the prizes being awarded
as follows: Louisville Light Infan-
try, Southern Cadets, Atlanta Rifles,
Hermitage Guards, Champion City

The Light Guards withdrew be-
fore they had finished the programme
which destroyed all chances of a
prize. Capt. Lewis says that his men
were ratified from the very start, and
he saw 1t was no use to attempt to
finish the drill. The practice drills
of the company in private ELECTED the
most favorable comment, but the boys
could not stand the fire of 5000 pairs
of eyes. This is the usual career Of
new companies, aud we think that
the Guards will redeem themselves
in the next contest. The company
returned home Saturday night. Too
much cannot be said in praise of the

vile.
