LOUISVILLE, Nov. 1.-THE Democrats
had a monster demonstration here to-
night, the Governor and half the Legis-
lature participating. Fully ten thousand
men took part in the parade. The city
was brilliantly Illuminated. The prin-
cipal speech was made by Henry Waiter
son before 5000 people in Courthouse
Square. After facetious comments re-
garding the defeat of the Republicans,
the speaker proceeded to pay his respects
to those who accused him of inactivity in
the campaign, declaring that he was
steadily at the post OF duty. Regarding
the situation he said: There is no double
meaning to the vote of Tuesday. 1t sounds
the death-knell to the Republican system.
The robber baron in his castle hears it,
and admits the cheers of emancipated
labor. He is preparing to meet the in
evitable. The able statesmen and lawyers
who found such astonishing likeness be-
tween the tariff plank and the Confeder-
ate Constitution have awakened to the
knowledge of the fact that it was not the
Confederate Constitution, but the Consti-
tuition of the United States that was re-
terred to, and vindicated by the people at
the polls.
''We simply mean to reverse engines
that are driving US TO ruin. We mean to
Go what the Republicans promised to do
IN the enactment of a war tariff-reduce
IT to peace footing. We mean to proceed
with this work like statesmen, not like
revolutionists and mountebanks. The
Democratic party represents at this mo-
nent not merely the numbers, but the
brains and conscience of the people,
and, mindful of its responsibilities, will
address itself to a revision and reduction
of the tariff duties upon lines so
enlightened and conservative as will con-
duct us from high protection scale to
low revenue by process so gradual and
just as TO make the transition pleasure
to every body except the unpatriotic and
rapacious, who grow rich off of special
privileges corruptly obtained"
A LANDSLIDE, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
New YORK, Nov. 1.-Chauncey NJ.
Depew was asked what he thought of the
statement made last night by ex-senator
Platt attributing the defeat of the Repub-
hcans in New GOrk to him (Depew), and
said: brother Plat objected to me tax
ing an active managing part in the cam
palgn. 1t was therefore agreed that he
should manage the campaign, and he was
allotted the task of running the machine
and was put out speech-making. Now,
brother Platt is a shrewd and compe-
tent engineer, and ran the machine as
We'll as 1t could be run. But as he was
managing and conducting the machine |
DO not think he can lay the blame for col
NSIOn on me. We just ran into land
slide, plain and simple. The result could
not be attributed TO any one person or
persons. New York alone did not effect
the result. 1t was the whole country.
The people wanted a change of policy
more than candidates, and they will have
IL. they want to try free trade, because
they think they will get clothing cheaper
They viii have every opportunity to trv
it, l hope. 1t operated against Harrison.
There has been good deal of talk about
Carnegie and Frick. We charged Frick
with having voted the Democratic ticket.
1 declare that neither he nor Carnegie
contributed to the campaign fund"
DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-At5 P. NJ. the
Democrats here are claiming they will
have majority overboth the Republican
and Peoples party in the Senate of four
votes. They claim that late returns give
them the Montana, Wyoming, California
and Colorado Legislatures, and that the
Peoples party carry the Legislature of
Kansas. The returns from Oklahoma
Territory indicate the election of a Demo-
cratic Legislature, and it is believed the
Democrats will be willing to admit this
Territory also if they can gain two Demo-
cratic United States Senators thereby.
CORRUPT METHODS CHARGED.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Mail and
Express prints four columns of interviews
with defeated local Republican candi-
dates. All are practically unanimous in
charging their defeat to bribery, corrup-
ton, intimidation and fraud, so carefully
arranged and backed by Tammauy as to
make 1air fight impossible. Some assert
the frauds were practiced openly and
backed by the policemen at the polls.
Several give names and figures to prove
their charges. Very many urge the
formation of Republican organization
similar to Tammany as the only guard
against the present wholesale Democratic
corruption.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IL. = President
Harrison is now engaged in writing his
annual message to Congress. 1t is under

prosperous under the Republican tariff
law.
