Gov. Gordon, of Georgia, in his inau-
gural address, delivered Tuesday, ex-
pressed the opinion that the recent sue.
cess Of the Republican party would lead
to the enactment of no more "force bills
ito degrade the Southern States" al
there is one principle of the government
dearer than all, others to American
freemen," he said 1T is the indepen.
dence, equality and freedom Of the
states" If Gov. Gordon means such
"force bills" as were enacted
by Congress in the early days Of recon-
struction and which were set aside by a
Republican Supreme Court, the faithful
guardian of the rights Of the states, as
unconstitutional, he is undoubtedly
right, but if he means that no attempt
will be made by the next Congress to
secure fair elections to that body in those
same Southern States, an undoubted
constitutional right OF Congress, he is
certainly mistaken, He will find that
''it there is one principle of government
dearer than all others to American free
men," it is the right to cast their honest
ballots and have them honestly counted

II believe that we shall have from II
to 20 majority 10 the next hause," said
Secretary Mcpherson OF the Republican
congressional campaign committee Sun
day. Taking up a table printed in a
New York Republican paper, he said
II am going to give the Democrats all
they claim within reason, where the
actual returns have not removed all
doubt" From this table he reduced the
republican claims for congressman by
one in each Floridi, Kentucky. Mary
land, North Carolina and Weat Virginia,
and by two in Virginia." In that shape
he declared that he allowed all Demo
cratic claims in doubtful cases, and the
result was Republican majority of 10.
BE could not see how it could possibly be
reduced below that figure. and allowing
for the Republican chances in doubtful
districts as in Virginia, Maryland, West
Virginia, North Carolina and else where,
he confidently expected that the Repub
lican majority would be found to be
nearer 90 than 10.

The Post E.rpreGs of Rochester, N. Y,
says "A fatal accident occurred al
11.30 this morning on the Central tracks
at Marsden. There are gates at the
crossing but these were open when Mr.
Haines attempted to drive across the
tracks. A moment later the gate-tender,
a youth, started to close the gate in ad-
vance of a west bound freight train. AT
that instant without whistle or warning
Of any kind the flyer" rounded the turn
west of the station, the locomotive struck
the wagon in which Mr.. Haines was
seated. The train was travelling at its
usual rate of speed and the result was
frightful. The wagon was utterly de-
mollshed, both horses were killed, and
Mr.. Haines was hurled aside corpse,
His skull was crushed and he was in the
death agony when reached by the h or
rified spectators, An eye witness OF The
accident says that the gate-tender was
not to blame as he had no notice what
ever of the approaching passenger train.
Mr.. Haines was go years of age. was a
native of Bennington, Vt, came to
Marsden 20 years ago, where he and his
family have endeared themselves to ali
who knew them as good neighbor. a
respected citizen and a true Christian,
He united with st. Peters Church In
Bennington and has always been at a
place of worship whenever his bealrb
would permit. He leaves a widow. one
son and three daughters to mourn his
loss. They have the heartfelt sympathy
Of many friends. May they look to one
who can comfort them in these dark
hours of afil !ction."

President HarrIsOn,s Home Cabinet.

Mrs. Harrison has a host of friends in
Washington, who will gladly welcome
her as the mistress of the White House.
One OF the most prominent ladies in
Washington has this to say about her :
"You may he sure she will inaugurate a
refreshing reign Of straightforwardness
in all matters, social and domestic, at
the White House. Imported airs and
effected exclusiveness will be shunn6d,
and sensible, open air American ideas
will prevail. The immediate family Of
the President-elect will comprise group
of charming women. Mrs. Harrison
herself has held the esteem Of her
Washington friends after an absence
from them of years; Mrs. Mckee, who
was pretty Mamie Harrison when here.
is universal favorite; Mrs. Scott Lord
who lives here, is an older eister OF
Mrs. Harrison and an affable and attrac-
tive woman, and her two daughters are
charming and beautiful young women.

John F. Parker of the Navy, is blonde

daughter of Mrs. Lord, is young widow
the opposite of her sister, being lovely
brunette. Mrs. Dimmick is with the
family of the President-elect in Indian
apolis, where she spent the summer and
autumn. Mrs. Harrison. in describing
to friend by letter the condition Of her
house, which has been thrown open to
the army.of excursionists and visitors
all summer, said that If they should not
be sent to the White House their only
alternative would be the poor house, as
their own is not fit to live in until It is
thoroughly reftted and furnished. The
floors are WON through, the garden torn
up, the stairs broken down, and all the
rooms Of the house more or less disar-
ranged"

1t will be remembered that on March
Gath, 1888, Col. U, A. Woodbury., now
Lieutenant Governor of Vermont, wrote
the Indianapolis Journal letter advo-
eating the candidacy of Benjamin Har-
rison for President, closing with these
prophetic words 1.-THE ticket should
be Harrison and Hawley. With them
success is sure, without them it may
not be-" We do not reproduce the let
ter as some of our State exchanges have
done, but the attention of our readers
should be called to it. Lieut.. Gov.

The BANNER estimated the Harrison
plurality in New York State at $4,000,
and was taken to task for it. The Dem
ocratic Troy Press of Monday, under the
sub-heading of "Now don't quarrel
any more about the matter" says: "The
latest returns from the recent election
in this State indicate plurality for the
Harrison and Morton electors of ID 1913.
The apparent pluralIties on the State
ticket are Governor, David B. Hill,
1888; MISUNDERSTANDING, Edward.
F. Jones, 15,729; Associate Judge of the
Court of Appeals, John Clinton Gray,
5000. The next Assembly will be COM
posed of eighty Republicans and forty
eight Democrats"

The liquor dealers who made such an
active contest for Hill in New York state
apparently neglected the Assembly dis
tricts, for there is a substantial gain OF
Republican Assent lymen, The liquoi
people were shrewd enough 10 see that
Hill, IL re elected, would veto eve y
temperance measure the Assemblymen
might pass, and that having, thanks TO
the co operation Of the third party Pro-
hibitionists, won the Governor, they were
SECURE from any new restrictive legis-
lation, 49,.
The English papers express mingled
emotions over Clevelsnd's defeat. They
deplore the disappointment Of the tariff
reformers. but the discourteous dismiss
al of Lord Sacksville is so fresh in their
minds that they cannot be wholly sorry
that the Presidents desperate attempt
to save himself at Lord Sacksvile's ex-
pense failed.
Not the least satisfactory thing about
the Republican gains in Congress is that
so many Of them have been made in the
"Solid South" The time is coming
when Republican votes will be counted
as fairly in the South as In the North.
