Nothing like the closeness of the
contest in West Virginia was ever
heard of. Four Congressman were
elected whose aggregate pluralities
will not reach two hundred. The
Governorship turns on less than five
hundred. The Legislature is 80 close
that on joint ballot the majority will
be only one and U. S. Senator is to
be elected. 1

aged about so years, and unmarried,
brakeman on freight train, was
knocked off a box-car about 8 miles
west of this city on the Baltimore and

AS the election is now over, and the
Republicans have had all the glory
and rejoicing they could wish for, we
hope politics will be dropped and bus
mess be taken up by all. We have
before us anumber of communications
upon the victory achieved by the Re-
publicans and the defeat sustained by
the Democrats, with which we fully
agree and approve of, but the writers
will see that we have not the space
nor the time for the insertion of all.
Besides we believe in carrying out
the principles of the Republican party,
In showing maguanimous spirit, and
treating the opposition as we would
wish to be treated by them so that
the liberal and unprejudiced element
of the people may always be retained
on the side of the party of progress
and good will. Late experience has
proven that the Democratic party has
lost rather than gained by appealing
to the passions and prejudices of the
people, through public demonstra-
tions and political vociferations. The
Republicans have steadily and solidly
gained by an appeal to reason. court
ing the liberal judgment and cooper
alton of all, by respecting the rights
and opinions of others, and by main
tanning a dignified course far above
the average attitude of political bit
terness and partisanism of a party
which claims 10 represent all classes
and conditions of men of all sections.
The Republicans will find to their
supeoCc tho continuance of S;,ph q
course as they have pursued. The
people look now for material results.
A live. liberal but thorough Repubki-
can administration, will leave no
room for disappointment.

AS IsTEmIGENcER special from New
Yorl, says that the Democratic betting
men who have had access to Bill SCOTS
money the past week and have put up
$4,000 in three even ten thousand bets
are not willing TO take odds which
are offered by Republicans. Ex-Sheriit
Albert Daegett, Of Brooklyn, was look
ing ior some one who had tho necessary
financial backing to his political con-
yictions to put up $4,000 against $780,
900. Mr.. Daggett was willing to risk
upon the general result between the two
presidential candidates in favor OF Har'
rison. Mr. Daggett is earnest, energetic
and hopeful Of finding some ardent be-
lever in Cleveland who would meet
him in his very generous offer, but has
not succeeded. lie did not insist upon
these amounts or odds and offered to
put up $4,000 against $4,000 upon the
same issue, but there were no takers.
Mr.. Daggctt, who is an astute poIitl'
cian, is confident that the Democracy
are in such condition that they cannot
meet the issue with success to them
selves, aud he is willing to risk the enor'

The charter election at Newark, New
Jersey, according to our ndvices, shows
n falling off of the Democratic majority
of 1905 Of last year on the city ticket by
about 700. The Republicans elect eight
out OF the fifteen aldermen voted for
and will have u majority Of about six in
the common council next year. The
Democrats carry the Board OF Education
for next year by sixteen to fourteen.
On the Aldermanic ticket the Republi-
cans had au uphill job, as ten of the
aldermen are Republicans and only five
Democrats. Five of these Republicans
represented Democratic wards and there
seemed no hope of carrying these in a
Presidential year. The result therefore
surprised and gratifed Republicans and
mortified their opponents. Great efforts

TIE Register and other Democratic pa
pers cannot conceal their Joy over the
news that Ex-Secretary OF the Treasury
McCulloch will support Cleveland. No
one ever dreamed that Mr.. McCulloch
was going to do anything else in this
campaign. He is an out and out Free
Trader and in the Democratic party he
will find his proper place. Those who
read the newspapers will recall the man
ner in which President Arthur was cen
sured by Republicans throughout the
country when he made Mr.. McCulloch
n member OF his Cabinet. 1t was the
appointment of a Free Trader as one Of

than any other one thing to defeat Pres

publican party for men who desire to
abolish the American system OF Protec-
ton. Mr. McCulloch knows this.
Hence, his "nop" to Cleveland.

There are phases of the present politi.
cal contest which cannot fail to attract
the attention even of those who pay hut
n passing regard to the movements Of the
two commanding parties. Ever since
his nomination, week in and week out,
Benjamin Harrison has been meeting
and greeting hundreds Of thousands OF
his felow.citizens, speaking TO them
daily on the issues OF the day, with little
or no time left him in which to prepare
any remarks; and yet, with all this.
never q slip, nothing upon which the
kecnest OF the opposition can light, that
they can use to his disadvantage. True,
they may not agree with lis views on all
points; there are, OF course, those differ
ences Of opinion which mark the divid-
ing lines OF the parties, but beyond this
nothing. No man in great political
contest has spoken to more OF his fellow
citizens than Mr.. Harrison; not one of
the great thinkers and orators OF our
country has continued such n constant
course, defining his position with SO lit.
lie opportunity for study, and no one
has made so proud q record us the Re.
publican candidate.
Contrast this with the exhibition made
by Mr.. Cleveland since he has occupied
the executive chair, and the picture be-
comes even more remarkable. The lack
OF anything approaching craftsmanship
on the part Of Mr.. Cleveland has been a
sore disappointment to his friends, and
placed him often in most unenviablC
lights. These were not the oF.hand
acts, but the calmly delibeated prob.
lens which were presented.
Now, it is undoubtedly true that the
great mass OF voters cast their ballots
rather on the principle Of given party,
where II has them; but there are Il con.
tinually growing class who look also to
the man himself who is to be charged
with the duty OF carrying those ideas
into effect, and among these the senti'
ment is constantly growing one in IN
vor OF Mr.. Harrison. Some even who
were not in accord with Inn upon thu
vital questions OF the day recognize in
the fearless and honest avOwRl OF his
convictions those elements so essential
in the head OF this great nation, and

THE "clean campaign" the Democrats

theories about cleanliness are OH par
with the Hottentot's ideas OF beauty.
The latest conception OF how an immac-

in the silly stories that are being circu-
