The President Did Not Favor So Much
1IcKinleyism.
WASHINGTON, Nov. H. President
Harrison discussing the defeat of the
Republicans, says:
1T was due mainly to the position of
the party on the tariff question. The
Republicans had forced this issue TO an
extreme. which evidently did not meet
with the approval of the people.
There was strong belief that the
force bill issue kept the solid south
within the old lines, but il did mora
than that. for it brought to the support
OF the Democratic ticket many votes in
the north"
What he wanted them to do. the
president said, and what he endeavored
TO impress upon them. was the abso-
lutte necessity of keeping the Repub-
York. .
He had realized for some time past
that the drift of public sentiment was
against him and his party, and it was
this that led him to force his advice MP
on the party leaders. The disregard of
suit of last Tuesday. The president
realized. before any of the election re-
turns came in Tuesday, that no was a
defeated man.
'The verdict of last Tuesday. the
president continued, could be construed
in but one way 1t meant a condemna-
ton of the extreme high tariff policy of
the Republicans. The inevitable re-
suit, If the party was to hope for a re-
newal of power. was a modification of
its position. but not denunciation al
together of the protective tariff policy.
which has been the keynote of every
Republican campaign for many years

A Russian official is reported to
have recently said that Russia sides
with the United States on the Seal
Fishery question. That would be
very important if the question were
to be settled by force; but as Russia
has no member of the Court of
Arbitration, which is to settle it,
we fail to see that it makes the
slightest difference whether Russia
sides with us or against us, except
to show, what many people were
already convinced of, that the arbi,
tration of the question was a big
mistake on the part of the Republi-
can administration.

NEW YORK. Nov. H. The World
says:
Benjamin Harrison and Whitelaw
Reid are worse beaten in the electoral
college than any men who have run for
president and vice president since Hor-
ace Greeley's campaign in 1872. They
will receive barely more votes than
Greeley would have had had he lived
until the college met.
Cleveland and Stevenson will receive
more votes in the electoral college than
any candidates have ever before had.
The transfer of Ohio to the Demo
cratic column raises Cleveland's vote to
over 300. and reduces Harrison's to little
more than 100. The exact figures ac-
cording to latest returns are: Cleveland,
SOB; Harrison, 100; Weaver, 80.
Later returns transfer South Dakota's
electoral votes from the Weaver column
TO the Harrison column. This makes
the totals as follows: Cleveland, 800:
Harrison, 116; Weaver, %.
The latest reports indicate that the next
United States senate viii be divided as
follows: Democrats. forty-two; Repub-
lcanS, forty; Peoples party, SIX.

gallant Democracy of the Fourth
District. He is strong and popu.

and we nominate him as our candi-
date for 1894. He has carried the
District twice by double the major
tiles ever given to any other candi-
date, and can do it again. Hurrah
for Capehart.

The President May Protect Printers and
Engravers with Civil Service Act.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Presideni
Harrison will, it is believed, extend the
civil service law SO as to take in the gov.
eminent printing Office and the bureau
of engraving and printing. When
President Cleveland was about to retire
he left as legacy an extension of the
civil service law over the railway mail
service and the special agents of the
various executive departments.

1T MEANS MUCH.
Mckinley Tarifrs and Davenport Force
Bills Forever delegated to the Past
The Principles of Democracy Will
Rule America for Years to Come.

The following are the opinions of
the press and prominent men of
the country upon the result of the
late election:
The New York Tribune says: at
is needless to say that the result
viii be great disappointment to
Republicans, because they have
confidently relied upon the assuran-
ees OF long experinced leaders in
different States whose knowledge of
the peoples wishes has rarely been
defective 1t has been hoped that
the splendid results attained by
President Harrison's administration
had placed beyond doubt the main
tainenance- of tie Republican poll
cy for years to come. If it proves
that Democratic President and a
Democratic Congress have been
elected, and if no bad consequences
to the business and the industries of
the country, result, it will easy to
drive them from power.
The New York Herald: "The peo-
pie of the nation have spoken, and
their verdict is: No English cheap
labor. That is the result and the
meaning of yesterdays election, in
which protection with its conse-
quences was the one great issue
There was no choice between the
candidates as to personalities or be-
tween the parties as political organ
izations. The paramount issue was
protection
The New York Times: ait is with
no undue exultation over a fallen
We regard the result with
r. Ind gratitude that the Ameri-
can people has chosen so wisely and
SO justly and with firm confidence
in the future. The Republican or
ganization has suffered crushing
defeat and deserved it. The Re-
publican party remains with the
great body of voters as honest and
as devoted to the best interests of
the country as they have ever been.
If the party is again to be con-
trolling force in the republic it can
only be under the better leadership
of better men,"
The New York Sun: "There will
be no force bill. Yesterdays victo-
ry disposes forever of the infamous
project which menaced the rights of
American citizenship and the peace
of the nation. For the glorious re-
sult let everybody be thankful"
The New York World: The.next
President will be Democrat. Gro
yer Cleveland is elected. The pee-
pie have triumphed over pleutocra-
cy. Men are stronger than money.
The tshidden and abhorrent forces
of corruption have not prevailed
over the intelligence and virtue of
the voters. The over-taxed, insult
ed, defied people have risen in their
might and overwhelmed the Re-
publican party. The Democratic
party displayed the courage of its
convictions in its nomination for
President"
Senator Hill, speaking of Cleve-
lands election, says: "Itis not only
personal triumph of Ex-President
Cleveland and just tribute to him,
but it is vindication of the Demo-
cratic principles which he champ
ions. The people were opposed to

on a projecting rock, where he was
attacked by two eagles and clawed
TO pieces.
az hen Conroy and had finished

Barkelow, "we placed our entire
outfit on the back ola burrow, while
we walked along the side of the cliff.
One morning, about two weeks ago,
we were picking our way along
what looked like bottomless gorge,
few miles from the junction of
Nine Mile creek, with Green river.
The path was a narrow one, a per-
pendicular rock wall on one side
and the dark precipice frowning be-
low as on the other. The burrow
became fractions and knocked Con-
roy off the ledge and fell with him.
a hundred feet or so down the,
precipice fat, level part of the
rock jutted and formed a sort of
platform. On the outer edge of
this the burrow struck and rebound

descent, struck on the animals side.

death, and Dire pped back upon the
platform. / leaned over and called
out, but it was some time before he
was able to answer, Frank was on
small ledge of rocks with several
ribs broken and one arm smashed.
There was absolutely no chance of
rescue that day, as it would take
some time 10 go for assistance. Just
as we had agreed that Frank should
take chances while / went from him
and for assistance, / heard a shrek

the beginning of terrible combat.

ing him of an attack upon their
young. swooped down on him from
different directions and struck at
him with bills and claws. The
great birds at last succeeded in what
they were trying to accomplish.
They reached his face with their
claws, will never forget the sight
as he staggered backward; with a
scream of triumph and gratified
revenge, his victors followed him
over the edge of the shelf and far
down into the abyss
Mr.. Barkelow reached Ogden
more dead than alive. He received
temporary assistance from a young
business man here who is acqnaint-
ed with his family, and left for the
East last night.
