Give me, please, Shoninger's Music store. Say Central, wont you please trans init the message to them-they are such a reliable house it is really not even neces- sary to examine their Pianos-that want them to send me a fine Weber Upright just like the one they sold Miss 0, neigh Dor of mine. It is just elegant, both in style finish and tone-and say, Central, tell them 1 shall expect hne stool and scarf, as gift, one of the inducements they make for the holidays. Shoninger's is the only company that favors customers in that direction, but the other dealers, poor fellows they are so poor I prefer to buy of reliable house one that I know will be here right along and always makes every promise good.
 This manner of buying piano may seem queer to some readers, but we assure you | business has been done with us exactly on | this plan, while some agents chase customers meeting them at every cross road | ill season and more often out of season, | until the customers are afraid their com panions will think they are in debt to the agents. Shoninger by honorable straight forward dealings steps in and makes the sale. Avoid such agents. They are considering your pocketbook more than the quality of the goods they are trying to sell you. We have no state agents, no | county agents or town agents, because We combine all that ourselves under one head Manufacturers and state agents, and save you at least two profits. Extra induce ments for the holidays.
 | Please examine onr stock.

The exposures made by the New York World show that the most shameful purchase of votes was carried on by Quay and his associates, and a collection of letters published yesterday by the same journal show that President Cleve- land lost many democratic votes because of his personal Unpopularity and of dis satisfaction with certain acts of his ad- ministration. Tue vote cast for the dem ocratic state ticket gives reason to be- lieve that had Governor Hill or some other candidate than Cleveland headed the ticket the state would have given its electoral vote against Harrison. It was Cleveland, not the democratic party, that the empire state repudiated at the polls.
 The reasons for dissatisfaction with President Cleveland are many and var ious, and can perhaps be best expressed by the statement that he was too far removed from his party. He is not magnetic man, and lacks the ability of inspiring enthusiasm in others which is a prime requisite of leader, It is not probable that the democratic party will ever again make the mistake of trusting its fortunes to a man who lacks the power to hold the loyalty of its own members. Four years hence, with a man who can hold the affections of the masses, the dem ocracy will again carry the country that was democratic even in this election where it was defeated

THE NEW RESERVOIR.

The letter from MT R. B. Wheaton of Middlebury which was published in our local columns yesterday furnishes food for serious reflection for the city fathers who are to decide the location of the proposed new reservoir. If, as Mir Whea on says-and he appears to speak by the book-Hop bcook is dry three or four months in the year, nd those months probably the ones in which there is the greatest consumption of water, there would seem to be reason for making haste slowly in the matter. The amount required in the building of the new res ervoir, according to the estimates of the board.of water commissioners is S200, ,000, which is a pretty stiff figure in the face of our already high rate of taxation. The addition Of quarter of a m .liou dCl'arS to the bonded indeo' edneNs of the city can only be justified by the urgency of the situation, but granted that the ur- gency exists the taxpayets ale not dis posed to look with Complacency ou any unbaked project] that may ot a sure them the full value of the Obligat ions assumed
 The fact that our preSe It re 5OurceS are no longer adequate to supply the de- mauds of our expanding city seems to be admitted; it is fact, too, that the boa of water commissioners have accepted Hop brook as the most suitabe sodrce from which to augment the supply. But the facts stated by MT Wheatcn, if they are genuine-and clo1e ipqrnJ should ba made on this point-wOuld l9'-e in- superable objections to this locac;on. Ii the city of Waterbury is going to bocd itself for qual ,er of a million doraIs.tc pay S230, ,000 for building the re ,er0o,' with other incidental expenses that nav increa-e this amount somewhat, 1t IS nc more than right that iG get the full valGe of its money. A brook that is Iiely tC run dry for third or quat .er of the yeaI is not, in our judgment aud that O. the taxpayers generally, worth the odt'ay The water commissioners should ilve tigate this matter furthet, and so should the court of common council, before HoE brook is accepted If Mir Wheaton i r;ght-and 1t must be remembered tha he is a pretty substantial kind of a man then the city fathers should be little backward in going fol ward in the matter The taxpayers are in no mood to assume this vast increased indebtedness without getting substantial equivalent therefor

RETRIBUT'ON may sometimes tm " but it generally gets there just the same. It looks like poetic jus,ice that the three officials who were directly responsible for the Fidelity bank wreck iu CinCin- natl should have so quickly fallen under the mills of the gods. Vice President Harper has gone crazy in the Ohio peni- tentiary, Cashier Baldwin died while under indictment, and Assistant Cashier Hopkins cannot live more than month and wilt die in his cell unless a pardon from President Cleveland permits him to die outside. Their sin lost no time in finding them out.

THE COUNTRY Is DEMOCRATIC.

| THE COUNTRY Is DEMOCRATIC. | The more closely the returns of the pres dent al election are studied the more certain 1t appears that the country is democ tatic aud that the defeat of Presi- dert Cleveland was a rejection of the partv's caudidate rather than the party 't-elf. New York state, to which Hal ri- l Soa owes his election, IS democratic too, as is shown by the vote for the demo- cratic state candidate, emphasizing the fact that it was Clevela nd, Tot the party, l ttat was defeated last month.
 Some of the figure3 of the election are interesting. In the sixteen southern states, which went solidly democratic, the total denocfah hc vote wa5 1921, ,7O6. the repubhcar vote 1859 ,412; demo- era e plurali1y of 569, ,294 In tre twenty two pOrthe:n states. all of which went for Harrison except Connecticut and New Je"sey, the republicans had a total vote of 1, ,0S3, ,961 and the democrat 3, ,613,- 515, be.og a plurality of 470, ,3S6 for tie republicans. ltappears, therefore, that in the entire thirty-eight states the dem ocrats had plurality of 9S.9O votes. The gains made by both parties show an excess in favor of the democratic party, which indicates that an increasing num- Der of voters are yearly allying them selves with democracy and with a pop ular candidate four years hence the party l will be restored to power. In the south the democcat'c vote, as compared with that cast for Cleveland and Blaine four wears l ago, shows total gain of 209 ,629 and an | aggregate loss of 4.501 votes, which | leaves net democratic gain in these sAteen states of 205, ,12S The repubJi- ! cans made gain in these states of 143.- 019 votes, and To 5 of 51 ,121, which is a | net gain of 91 ,S9S. The democratic vote shows net gain over the republican of | 113,23O. In the north the republicans made net gain over the democrats of
 57,OO5, the democratic gain in the thirty-two northern states being 419,136 against 476,141 for the
 republicans. The democrats made
 gairs in every northern state ex-
 cept Maine, Nevada and Vermont, and
 tre republicans in all but Nevada. In
 California, Illinois, Minnesota, New
 Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Pepnsyl-
 vaDia and Rhode Island the democrats
 made larger gains than the republicans.
 The largest gains made by the democracy
 Ill the northern states were in California,
 IHnois, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts
 Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New
 Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsvl-
 vania.
 Cleveland was beateo by his own state,
 Had New York given him her electoral
 vote Harrison would have been left to
 his law practice in Indianapolis and the
 republican party would have been beaten
 never to rise again. The fact that inc
 empire state gave democratic plurality
 by congressional districts as we'll as for
 the state candidates is proof that Cleve-
 land was defeated on personal
 grounds and through the corrupt
 use of money by the republican managers.

THE PARNELL FUND,

Another meeting, as will be seen in our local columns, is to be held to- morrow evening for the purpose of se- curing contributions to the Parnell in- demnity fund The daily reports from London show conclusively that the plan of the London Times is to protract the | trial, by means of suborned testimony and irrelevant details, beyond the ability of Mir Parnel and his associates to bear the expense. Every means available to this end is being adopted, and unless as Sistance comes from this country the plan may succeed.
 \ simple instance of the kind of wit necses introduced by the Tines was fur nished On Thursday in the person of James Buckley of Tralee, who was forced to admit on cioss-eXami "atiCn by Sir Charles Russell t'ot he was a common jail bird. had robbed and beaten his own mothec, committed perjury against his dearest friend ard had been a creature of the pol 'ce for yCa"s. He was a credit to his employers, and his examination
 
 police reporting on which the Times based its charges was fur lished the same day b.y Sergeant Feely. He swore that he had attended a league meeting at which he said Michael Davitt WIS pre- ent, and he produced with pride a neatly written transcript of his speech on the occasion. But ST Charles Russell proved, and the attorney geuere subse- quently admit ted, that Davitt missed the tain aud was not present, a fact which. imaG inative powers, somewhat lessened the value of his evidence
 It is by such methods that the Times is bolstering up its false charges and seeking to break down and discredit | Parnell and the Irish cause. It is neces- say, therefore, that the Iri;Sh leaders be ! aCsisGed in makiug their deferse-the:r deferse is the defense of tEe cause itself | It s not time to discuss the advisability of Parnells methods of working out the Irish problem-it is a condition, not g theory, that confronts the friends ot l Ireland in America. Waterbury has beld US own in its friendship to the IT. sh cause it is no time TOW for backsliding. Gc to the meeting tomorrow and give ac cording to your means to the cause. Le! | Waterbury reach hands acroGs the sea tc the brave Irish leader, encouraging hin in his marly fight against the common enemy of bis country and his people cheering him on in his robe pu, poe o proving that the 1risl National league i Eot,a band of midnight marauders anc red-handed assassins.

THE RED BANDANA

We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, tho lack of which is shown by Ter grammar. But the demand that every husband buy a Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land? No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin, Boardman & Gray, Baus, and Wilcox & White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of a manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and a few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago.
