For many years it has been the
custom of the Democratic party to
confine itself to the limits of New
York state for a presidential candi-
date. The Republicans on the other
hand have always gone west of the
Ohio river for a standard bearer,
and with one exception have always
been successful. That exception
was in 1884, when they went to
Maine for their candidate.
The center of population and of
business have long since crossed the
divide, drifting toward the Miss
issippi valley.
The center of politics has also
swerved in the same direction and
the seat of political power is no long
er along the Atlantic coast.
The western. people, those west of
the Ohio valley, are the nominating
and electing power of this country,
and from their midst the candidate
ought to 'come. And who of all the
Democrats looms up. as an ADLER,
cleaner. better candidate than the
Hon. James. E. Campbell, of Ohio.

a Grand Tariff Reform
Victory !
Foraker in Ohio, and
Malone, In Virginia,
Defeated---And Iowa
Goes Democrat ic---So
does New York and
New Jersey


Every Democrat throughout the
land will take off his hat and rejoice
over the result of the elections, held
in the ten States voting November
9th. The people have rebuked the
Harrison Administration, and have
come outon the side of tariff reform.
The hypocritical cry of q Protection
VS.. Free Trade" no longer alarms
them. The farmers in the West are
open revolt against the party that
maintains Ubiquitous and burden
some tariff laws that makes trusts
and combines possible, and forces
the farmers to pay tribute to them.
The result in the States is as follows.
Ohio gives Campbell, Democrat,
for Governor, 1900 majority, and
the rest of the State ticket is also
elected. The Legislature is also
Democratic in both branches.
Virginia elects Mckinley, Demo-
crat, Governor over Malone by
10000, and elects a Democratic leg
islature.
The Democratic majority in New
York is over 10000, with the legis-
lature very close.
New Jersey rolls up $4,000 Demo,
cratic majority for Leon Abbott for
Governor, and elects the rest eff the
State ticket by good majorities.
The most surprising of all is the
capturing of Iowa by the Democrats
where they have elected their Gov
ernor and State ticket by about
5000 majority. -
Maryland gives an increased
Democratic majority. The legisla-
ture is Democratic.
Mississippi is all Democratic, as
there was no opposition ticket,
Pennsylvania gives 10000 Repub-
lican majority, but the Democrats
badly worsted them for local offices
in many of the strong Republican
counties of that State.
Massachusetts goes Republican by
less than 5000 majority.
In Colorado, the Democrats car
ried the State for Judges. '7eH
Nebraska gives $4,000 Republi-
can majority.
Kansas voted only for local Off
GERS, and on these the Democrats
made large gains, capturing many
Republican strongholds.

The Effect OF Free Raw Ma.
IRFfmI


In 1872 a Republican Congress
placed hides ON the free list, and
the Senate tariff bill last year did
not propose to change this legisla-
ton. The great cattle ranges in
the west have been mainly deyel-
oped since 1872, showing that the
grazers have not suffered by this
'tfree trade" act.
To show the beneficial effects of
this freedom of trade, the imports
of raw hides in 1872, under the low
duty of 10 per cent, amounted to
81, 100000. Last year. they had
increased to over s25, OOO, 900, under
free trade, almost entirely from the
South American States we are SO
DESTROYS increasing trade relations
with. Before the duty on hides was
taken off our exports of leather and
its manufacturers amounted to g.
s64, 800, all told; and, raising year
by year in value, they now amount
to more than $4,000, 900 under alb
solute free trade in hides. On the
other hand our imports of leather
and its manufacturer have been
about stationary since the era of
free hides set in-or about Sc, 600, 600
annually at an average duty of only
20 per cent.
The important point shown by
these figures, is that under free
hides our exports of leather have
increased from $1,000, 900 to over
s1O,OOO,OOO a year since 1872, in
addition to supplying the enormous
ly increased home demand, while
our imports of leather and leather
goods are declining, under the low
est rate of duty on the tariff list

Fire at weston.

A terrible fire occurred at Weston,
this State, Tuesday afternoon, Nov.
9Th. The following from the. Dem
ocrat, gives the particulars.
ga terrible fire visited this com
munity this afternoon, the most
disastrous in the history of Weston
involving a loss of from forty TO
fifty thousand dollars, and making
several families homeless. At ex-
actly quarter past three o'clock
the alarm of fire was sounded from
the Simpson building, and everyone
on the street ran in that direction.
The flames had good Roadway, and
it needed but n moment to satisfy
everybody that only superhuman
efforts could save the entire block
from destruction. The wind was
high. and in very short space of
time over twenty thousand dollars
in buildings alone had been con-
sumed. The fire burned north on
Main street from the Simpson
building TO the Democrat Office,
and south on the same street to
Mr.. Brinkman's residences. thence
up Bank alley, the flames totally
destroyed the residence of James
Burns, on Centre street. The fire
was only stopped by the fire-proof
building occupied by Lewis Ben
nett as a law office. Judge Ben
nett's residence was somewhat
damaged but was saved by the
heroic efforts of those present. A
stranger named Stone fell from the
house, a distance of thirty feet, and
was seriously if not fatally injured.
A. F. Wheeler, prominent mer-
chant, also fell from the Brfnkman
residence, but received no serious
injuries.

amount of property destroyed is

Democracy is the Party Of the
People.


We are citizens of a magnificent
country. It has great history and
it has a great future. The Demo-
cratic party belongs to no one cor
ner of it, but it thrives in every
State and Territory. 1t believes
that the sectional Republican party
is pursuing a sectional policy, but it
has never stopped to the baseness of
accusing half of the American peo-
pie of being hired by foreign ma
tions to betray the interests of their
native land, though Republican
policy has that effect. 1t has never
lost sight of the fact that the ma
ton is greater than the party, and
it has never confused party loyalty
with loyalty to the nation. The
Democratic party is the party of
one united country, whose children
viii differ in this or that piece of
legislation, but will be absolutely
united in their love of their native
land.

The Ravenswood ana Chenille
Road.

Spencer Bulletin.
Senator woodward has returned
from his trip to Cincinnati. On his
way he saw Senator Camden and
tried to get our railroad started
again. But Senator Camden said
that the Ohio. River Railroad Com
pany would not be willing to aid
in building this road if the people
along the line of it are hostile to the
road; that building the road would
enhance the value of the lands
through which it passes. And to
build a railroad that will enhance
the value of the lands of these peo-
pie and pay them a big price for
the privilege of benefttfng their
lands is something the Ohio River
Rrilroad will not do. So Senator
woodward says that we must got
the right of way free, or substantial
ly so,i and if we succeed in doing
this the railroad will sarat up again.

One of the most amusing circum-
stances connected with the quarrel
between Corporal Tanner and the
Administrative is the manner in
which it has reflected to the credit
of General Black. During Mr..
Cleveland Is Administration the Gem
eral was pictured as almost deadly
enemy to all Union soldiers, and the
only wonder was that he was not
sent to prison on account of his
malevolence toward them.
The Republicans now sing diff
ferent tune. When the officers of
the Interior Department wish to at
tack Tanner they compare his re-
cord to that of General Blacl, there
by tacitly admitting that Blacks
conduct of the Office was good. And
this, too, in spite of the fact that
organs like the Press in this city
shricked for weeks about the terri
Bile exposures that were to be made
in the Pension Bureau. But like
the letter in the love song, they
never came.
Tanners friends too, unite in the
enconiums that General Black is re-
ceiving. DIR. Goodlove, one of the
medical examiners, who was dis
charged for rerating says: "My
official position brought me in daily
relations with General Black, and /
do not hesitate to say that he was
always just and liberal to the sol
diers When brought to his atten-
ton, he never hesitated to fearlessly
correct an injustice or todo the pro-
per thing by the soldiers.
General Blacks case illustrates
the proverb that when wrecked
partners fall out honest men some-
times get their dues.-N 7. Star.

Both Dead.

kanawha Gazette. s-ts'3
The result in Ohio and Virginia
is better than we dared to hope.
With this defeat dies Forakerism
and Mahoneism. aThe Two Dro-
MOS" one in Ohio and one in Vir7
ginia, will now cease their antics on
the political stage, and the elements
that have aided them will disap-
pear with them into deserved OBJ
livion. Mr.. Campbell has made as
gallant fight as was ever made in
a political campaign. He deserves
the success with which his efforts
have been. crowned, and the graft
tude of all true hearts for, his
achievement.
The lesson taught by the defeat
of Foraker and Malone should not
be UNDECIDED by the aspiring politi-
clans of our country. In. both cases
inordinate ambition, coupled with
interruptions methods, have been
most deservedly and effectnalIy re-
buked by the people. The man
who, in this government of, for and
by the people, seeks to subordinate
their interests, their liberties, their
traditions and their principles to
bis own selfish. aims, and assumes
the airs and role of a dictator, will
find himself one day in such a plight
as the people put those two men in
on Thursday last. No man can af-
ford to forget that the sovereignty
in this land resides In the people,
and that sooner or later they will
assert it, and then-estand from un-
der. "-Kana,rha Gazette.
