THE ELECTION.
Democracy, Cleveland and Stevenson
Triun plant.
%.es<

The election yesterday was the Dig
gest anil the democratic triumph the
greatest the country ever saw. Cleve-
land and Stevenson were elected with
many electoral votes to spare and by a
poralar majority OF hundreds of thou
sands
1t was a great uprising of the people
against the present republican admins
iration, the oppressive Mckinley tariff
the iniquituous force bill. and in favor
of GOOD government, home rule, lower
tariff and for democratic principles gen
orally.
The result is that the solid South re-
mains unbroken, Notwithstanding the
immense sums of money spent, the cor
,upt methods adopted and the intlml-
dation attempted to swervc her from
her allegiance and to disintergrate this
sunny and peaceful land.
In addition to the 159 votes OF the
South there are placed in the demo
cratic column those of New York so,
New Jersey 10, Indiana 10, Connecticut

total of 255.

THAT THE fusion between the third
party men and the republicans in this
congressional district was perfect and
complete, is demonstrated by the fact
that while Weaver and Field got, com
paratively speaking, 10 vote ut all,
Turner got almost rs many votes as
Harrison. The third party men voted
for Harrison and the republicans voted
for the third party's congressional call
didate. Isn't this nice dish to set
before any body?

Virginia gave an old time democratic
majority of 10000. and elected solid
Congressional delegation of 10. Rich
mond gave about 1000 majority.
The peoples party developed very
little strength, and although they had
congressional candidates in all the ten
districts, they have not elected one:
The democratic State committee
claims West Virginia for Cleveland by
from 5000 to 5000 majority.
The majority for AIr. Clevel; II in
Maryland was over 20, 900, and the dem
ocrats elected Congressman i'll all the
districts OF the State.
Mr.. Cleveland carried New York by
about a, 600 majority. New York city
went democratic by 10000, Brooklyn
25 900. Mr.. Gilroy was elected Mayor
of New York city by 1854. The re-
suit of the vote for asscmblymcn is (:
Democrats ~, republicans Sc. This in
,ures the election of "a democrat to the
United States Senate to succeed His
cock. Tammany has elected all of its
State and county ticket. The figures
make an interesting study for political
statisticians. They show that Tam
MANY was true and loyal to the demo-
cratic ticket and that the proclamation
of its leader, Richard Croker, that
everything must be sacrificed for the
national candidates, was literally car.
ried out by the Tammany leaders IN all
the districts of the city.
The Cleveland electors carried Geor-
gia by about $4,000 majority, and a solid
democratic Congressional delegation
was elected, including Black, who badly
defeated Tom Watson.
Illinois gave Cleveland about 10000
majority and the legislature will be
democratic by 20 to IS.
Delaware's majority for Cleveland is
about 1000.
New Jersey goes democratic by about
1000.
Connecticut remains in the democrat
ic column and gives Cleveland q major
ity of 1000. The Legislature is repub-
lican, and as there has not probably
been an election Of Governor by the
people, the Legislature will elect Mer-
win, the republican candidate.
The weather in Texas was bad and
the democratic majority was not over
10000.
Indiana gives q plurality for Cleve-
land of about 5000.
The democrats claim Colorado for
Weaver. The republicans say it will
90 for Harrison.
Returns from Minnesota show close
vote on the State ticket. Mr.. Cleve-
land ran ahead of the State ticket.
Rhode Island gave Harrison about
5000 majority.
The democrats achieved a sweeping
victory on both State and national
tickets in North Carolina.
Kentucky went democratic by an in
creased majority.
The vote in Florida was practically
unanimous for Cleveland.
Dir. Cleveland carried South Carroll
ma by over 10000 All the democratic
congressman were elected, with the
possible exception Of E. W. Noise in
the 9TH district.
In Nebraska the republicans elected

An I,npudcnt French Mash CT.

Along the great boulcvardS OF Paris
/. is impossible for one to avoid seeing
the most dsrcputa5lc class of men in
the whole world. These h Inntcrs of
the bouevargls carry under - decent
and often high-bred exterior the most
dcpravcd OF minds and. The most de-
bauchcd Of conscienc,es Their main
object in life seems % he the making OF
the acquaintance Of Young women, the
more innocent and more modest look
in@ the bett.r. As the French customs
are very s,rict. the French girl is al
ways cal.efully protected against these
maurauders.
But the American young woman;
used r. New York and Chicago ana
Philadelphia and other cities OF Ameri-
ca. where this class Of men is either I'm,
known or small and timid, goes around
in Paris umaccompaned. She walks
along The boulevards, looking III ut the
attractive shop windows, watching the
! thousand Interesting sights of the great
est and most varied thoroughiares OF
the world. And The depraved gentle
men are attracted and fascinated.
They have not yet learned to give
American women wide berth, and
probably never will learn. But some
times they have some pretty humlilal-
ing experiences.
One day last Summer a young and
very handsome American woman was
waikiki. down The Boulevard dies Cap
u.incs toward the Avenue de Opera.
.sna was ceiling on very leisurely,
stop2ing ut Il shop window now and
then. As she stopped before boot
shan. one OF ,hc lounger' OF the Cafe
de Ia p. tx, the great loaling place of
the gentlemen described above. crossed
over and joined her. lie said some,
thing in French about her beauty and
the creat delight he would hayc in
helping her shop. She looked at the
boots as thou III no one were beside her
and rs though Io one had spoien 10
her. Presently she strolicd on, With
the Frenchman still eXclaiming in hei
ear
He was close at her heels rs She crossed
the Avenue de 7 Opera and kept beside
her as she parsed ut a window, still APP
parently unconscious Of her pursuer.
He persisted, talking RAPIDLY, ana en-
deavoring with his best compliments
to soften her stony lack ofapprcciation.
As she began to 20 on again, she sud
denly stopped and looked straight into
his eyes. lie smiled. He felt that he
had made q difficult conquest.
She opened her purse, took out two
coppers, and laid them in his hand,
which he had hall extended the instant
before in gesture of delight.
"Now go away" she said in English,
''and don't bother me any more
She turned and walked on rs care
lessly as though nothing had happened.
The Frenchman stared in a stupor at
the two coppers. 4 dozen men had
seen the incident and burst into loud
and jcering laughter. He threw the
coins on the pavement, and stamped
his foot. and cursed in Il manner hor-
rible to relate. Then he walked rap
idly away, not in the direction of the
American woman.

The WOODLAND Farmers Club.


,t the residence Of Morris B. Wilkin-
son, October 29th.
In the absence of President Harri-
son. John Ballengcr occupied the chair.
The minutes of last meeting were
read and the allusion therein to the
corn husker at the Fredericksburg fair
brought out Majol IIinc, vino said he
was much interested in the working
of the machine and had some CORE
spondcnce since with the manufactur-
ers with the view of introducing one ID
this section.
1t was suggested that some one OF
the thresher-men get machine and
the opinion was expressed that it would
be done. Its advantages in the matter
ofsaving fodder and economy OF labor
were thought to be very decided.
The subject of a public road to the
terminus of the Electric Railway ut
Mount Vernon was again deferred to
await further developments.
John Ballcnger asked if any one had
experience with japan clover
Major Hine saidIa neighbor of his got
some seed from North Carolina under
that name and it had done very we'll
it had spread over gullies and barren
spots where no other grass would grow
and he thought perhaps it would
crowd out broom scdge.
T. 5. Wright asked what was the
right time to SOW orchard grass. Some
had sowed it in the fall with wheat
with good success. 1t will not thrive
on poor land. In view of the difficulty
of getting stand oftimothy and clover
Of late years it was thought advisable
to try this grass more extensively.
Walter Walton asked if it would
make good hog pasture. No one seem
ed TO know. In response to ques-
ton as to the cause of so great an in
crease in the quantity of noxious
weeds, the opinion was expressed that
it might be owing to the prevailing Gus
tom of putting manure on raw instead
of composing rs was practiced for
merly
Major Hine had frequently secured a
better stand of clover by sowing with
oats instead ofwheat He advised that
course as rule, and in the event of
failure, tho land could be seeded to
wheat and grass aiterward.
Frank Wilkinson asked if winter oats
would succeed here. The response
was that they would in case of mild
winter.
The different kinds Of millet and
tn ,ir uses were then discussed, and
Mai. Hinc spoke of his buying a
piece of land some years ago
at $40 per acre, he put it in millet and
paid for the land with the proceeds Of
the one crop. Hay was scarce and high
at the time; lie tried it again another
year, but the result was entirely differ
ent.
Then followed an interchange OF
views as to the probability of the e1-
tension of the electric railway and the
following was submitted and adopted :
"Resolved, That the club views with
satisfaction the efforts being made to
extend the electric railway from Mt.
Vernon to Pohick Church and hope for
speedy accomplishment of the meas
ure.n
A message was received from the
upper house" to the effect that the
ladies had adjourned to meet at the

marks as to whether the dog wagged

meet at the house ofCourtland Lukens

ALEXAN CRTA, VA
WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOV. 8, 1892,
THE COUNTRY and all lis real friends

THE COUNTRY and all is real friends
are TO be congratulated upon the
result of Yesterdays election, as 1t
indicates longer continuance OF Tree
institutions than had been anticipated
by many wise men, not at all predis-
posed TO be pessimistic. 4 people who
would not submit to such influences as
were employed by the republican adj
ministration to prolong It's power, but
who. on the contrary, rose III Their
might against, and set their seal OF
condemnation upon them, may well be
trusted to look after and protect their
own liberty. Every department OF the
government, from State and Treasury
down. and every employee therein, OF
high or low degree, has been engaged
for months in electioneering for the re-
nomination and reelection of Mr.. Har-
rison. The whole weight and power
ofthe administration, and every agency
at its disposal, no matter how lliegitl-
mate, were employed to secure success
at Yesterdays election, but all to no
effect, Except to render more plain the
attempt of The administration to prosti-
tute the government to the low pur-
pose of dehauching popular suffrage in
order to pro!ong its own power. The
blessings of free institutions continue TO
be properly estimated by the vast ma
iority of;the people ofthe country, and
the democratic party, and those who as
sisted it Yesterday, deserve the thanks
of all who admire such institutions for
making that fact so glaringly apparent.
