HILL AND ANDREW JOHNSON

Senator Hills iunketing tour has at least
taught US one thing. which is that Johnson
City, Tenn, is named after Andrew John
son. On arriving at that place he is reported
to have made the following speech:
Felow-Citizens- am pleased TO greet the
citizens of this new city, named IN honor Of
one OF the lllustriOus citizens of Tennessee,
formerly the President of our country and
your tnited States senator, one of whose
record you were most proud and whose men,
DRY the citizens of the country will always
revere. Applause
do not intend to detain YOU with any
lengthy remarks. as you well know | am jour
neying 10 the South 10 speak IN a sister State
tomorrow | Judge from what has been said
bv the gentleman who introduced me that
this is q Democratic town. / hope that is SO
The Democratic party reyeres the Constitu-
ton as Andrew Johnson did. The party
stands up for the rights OF the people as An
drew Johnson did. The Democratic party
hates hypocrisy and sham as Andrew John
son did. Applause
Here the train moved of.
Mr.. Hill is evidently setting his sails t.
catch every Southern breeze, but he makes
an awful mistake when he supposes that an
Andrew Johnson sail is gcing to catch very
full Southern wind. If there was ever a
Southern man whom the Southern people
had a contempt for it was Andrew Johnson.
He deserted his people and took sides against
them in the war. and. when accident gave
him a position that he could never have hoped
to aspire to through the choice of the public.
he showed mean and contemplate hatred
of our better elements by his $4,000 pardon
proclamation. that was unworthy of a scayen-
ger. You must take a reef in that sail, Mr..
Hill, while you are down South.

Ma CLEyELAND's letter. published in THE
TINES yesterday morning. announcing that
he would accept the nomination for the presi-
dency of the United States if his party wished
him to do So is perfectly consistent with the
well-known sentiment of that gentlemen
that the Office of President was one which
should neither be sought nor declined. He
spoke to the point and uttered words of
truth and soberness when he said
Il cannot bring myself to regard candi-
dacy for the place as something TO be won by
personal strife and active self-sssertion.'
That used TO be the general sentiment Of the
country, and if it has changed it is certain
indication that the American people have be-
come sadly demoraliZed.

CANAAN, CONN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10. 1892.


Democratic congressman are elected in six districts, and the indications are that the Republicans have elected the fifteen other members of the Ohio delegation. .
 Democratic congressman are elelected as follows: Third district, Houk; Fourth, Lay ton; Fifth, Donovan; Twelfth, Outhwiste; Thirteenth, Haire; Seventeenth, Richards.
 Republican congressman are probably elected as follows: First district, Storer; Second, Caldwell; Sixth, Hulick; Seventh, Wilson; Eighth, Strong; Ninth, Ashley; Tenth, Enochs; Eleventh, Grosvenor; Four teenth, E. G. Johnson; Fifteenth, Van Vor- his; Sixteenth, Norman; Eighteenth. Nor gan; Nineteenth, Northway; Twentieth, White; Twenty y-first, Hoise.
 The town of Harrison, Whitelaw Reid own district, went against him by i've. In 1888 it went six in favor of Harrison.
 As the returns came into the national Democratic headvuarters they were duph- cated by special wire to Mir. Cleveland at his house on Fifty y-first street.
 Returns indicate considerable Repubh can gains. For example ffty-four pre- cncts of Indianapolis show 8 gain of All over the vote of 1890. If this were contin- ued throughout the state, there would be 8 small Republican majority. But the Dem ocrats claim gains in the counties, which, if cooect, more than offset the Republican gains in the capital Ex-Gov. Gray tele- graphed the National Democratic commit tee that Cleveland would have 10, 900 to 12,000 majority.
 The TribuDe's Claims. -.'s
 The Tribune this morning says: The re suit of the election is in doubt at midnight The returns from most of the states art meagre and insufficient to warrant an ab solute conclusion, though the probabilities at this hour are that Harrison and Reid have not obtained majority of the cleo toral votes. s' .
 Connecticut is believed to be Democratic by plurality of from 1000 to 1000 on ths presidential ticket with the goyernorshiI and legislature in doubt.
 Indiana is claimed by both parties by ( small majority.
 in Chicago is claimed to carry in the Cleve land electors.
 Wisconsin is confidently claimed by ths Republicans by safe plurality, ant Spooner is elected governor. -...r
 Returns from the far west and north west are late and fragmentary, indicating however the choice of some Peoples party electors in several states.
 Massachusetts has chosen Harrison electors and probably a Republican statl ticket, thus displacing Governor Rus sell All the rest of New England is Re publican, with the possible exception O New Hampshire.
 Whether or not the solid south has beer broken is still uncertain. The Republican claim Delaware by a narrow margin ant West Virginia with greater confidence.
 It is possible that the election of presi dent may deyolve on the house of represeI tatives.
 Congress is Democratic by large ma jority.
