OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, DELLA

The Republicans have carried Della
ware. Il amounts to q political revo-
luton, with tho longest kind Of aradius.
They follow in power party that has
left proud record: Possibly no party
ever SO completely dominated any State
for SO long time as the Democracy has
dominated Delaware, and yet remained
SO pure in its administration and SO
faithful to its trust. We ask nothing
more Of the Republicans, while they
may remain in power in Delaware, than
that they shall give US an administration
as honest, as economical and as con-
sentative as the Democrats have given,

Ebe W. Tunnel was not elected gov
ernor of Delaware. In the midst of his
defeat, we beg the kind attention of
jubilating Republicans and downcast
Democrats to word we have upon our
heart to utter-a straightforward word
concerning his modesty and his worth.
No man was ever less self-seeking than
he. He was the candidate of his party
for governor because the Democratic
party loved him, not because he loved
station and power. In all of its history,
the Democratic party never offered a
candidate better fitted to fill and adorn
the governors chair. Single in his pur-
pose, pure in his life, lofty in his aims,
and amable in every relation of life,
political defeat will take nothing from
him that his friends loved, and political
victory could have added nothing save a
brighter light in which to make his
virtues plain to the general eye. In
saying this word to-day, no one can
suspect us of insincerity or find a
political motive for the utt1rance. 1t
springs from an intimate knowledge of
this typical Delawarean, who, we doubt
not, views this morning with calm con-
tent, so far as ms personal fortunes are
concerned, what his fellow citizens were
pleased to do Tuesday.

They Make Some Amusing Comments
Upon Tuesdays Elections.
Associated Press Displsin ny spsclRl Wires.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE merchants of
Great Britain who may be affected by
change in the United States tariff form
the class which takes the greatest
interest in American elections. But
they are unable to obtain any definite
idea Of the political situation, owing to
the many absurd mistakes made on the
subject by the English newspapers.
The iStur, for instance, says: THAT it
is definitely known that Congress will
consist of 10 Republicans, 1873 Demo-
Gratis and 13 Populsts.
The Globe says, referring to the de-
feat Of Tammany: at was particu-
larly obnoxious form OF despotism.
The defeat of Tammany is good sign
that they are gradually progressing
towards freedom, and perhaps some day
they may arrive at real lf.government."
The 81. James Gazette takes the
defeat Vt Tammany as the text of a
sermon in which it warns Londoners of
several instances having lately revealed
that the county councillors were quite as
bad as Tammany men.

INDIANA's GREAT ROE
Partial Returns Indicate Republican
Majority of Mt Least 10000.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. THE
partial returns from Indiana indicate
that the State is Republican by at least
$4,000. The Republican State commit
tee says 1t will not be surprised If the
plurality reaches 10000. 1t is the most
sweeping victory ever won by any po-
litical party in Indiana.
The first returns received last night
showed strong Republican gains. They
came from the labor centres, and the
Democrats at headquarters expressed
the hope that the tide would turn when
the county returns began coming in.
Late last night returns began to arrive
from all parts of the State and from
everywhere came the story of Republic
can gains.
Returns thus far received show an
average Republican gain of about 40
votes to the precinct 1t is doubtful,
however, whether this ratio will hold
up to the end, for it is said that it will
be cut down by the returns from the
agricultural districts, but if it should be
cut to 20 to the precinct the Republican
majority will be over 10000.
Returns from the Congressional dis
tricts have been slow in coming. The
scattering figures received, considered
in connection with the great Republican
gains in every part of the State, indicate
that the Republicans electad IL, and
possibly all the 10 members of Congress.
The Democrats still have hopes that 5.
NJ. Stockslager in the Third and w. s.
Holman in the Fourth districts have
been elected.
The Legislature is Republican in both
branches. There will be in the House &C
Republicans and 35 Democrats; in the
Senate about 80 Republicans and q
Democrats.

Evidence That Phosphorus Was Placed
Among the Cotton Bales at Savannah.
SAVANNAH, Ga, Nov. G.-The fire
last night on the steamer Armenia was
slight, and was soon extnguished. The
eighth fire among the cotton ships broke
out at O'Clock this morning on the
steamship Whiteticld, lying beside the
Dalegarth, already burned last night
The flames were quickly sublued.
Nearly all the tugs and lighters on the
river were kept busy during the night
The burned bales were dumped from
the steamers on to lighters, and carried
away to places of safety by tugs. The
chief of the fire department and the
police spent the night on the river
watching for fire. All is quiet to-day;
no new developments. The watchmen
on all the ships where the night fires
occurred were arrested to-day and held
without bond, waiting Investigation.
Investigation shows traces of phos.
phorus everywhere on the burning cot.
ton ships. A sample of cotton with a
peculiar odor was carried on board the
Kansas City, of the Ocean steamship
Line, this morning, for inspection. The
sample ignited and fell to the floor. The
flames were quickly put out, but the
substance used will be analysed later.

Protection does nothing forth farmer.
The farmers Of the United States have Il
yearly surplus to sell abroad of from
$5OO,O000O0 to $5OO,0OO,O00. TAat is
from 20 per cent to 30 per cent Of all
they produce. The price that the staple
farm products will bring abroad fixes
the price Of what is consumed at home,
No protective tariff, therefore, can ald
a penny to the price Of what farmer
has 70 sell. But tie tariff does enhance the
price Of most that the farmer has to buy.
The prices at which farmers have to sell
have become 50 low that it would be
positively cruel to continue longer the

gu them. When farmer votes the Re.
publican ticket he votes against his own
pocketbook, The Republican party

Where, oh where, has the $1.25 wheat
gomez Once the farmer got that price.
High protection claimed that it would
advance the price of wheat by
tariff of % cents a bushel on it. Under
high tariffs wheat went down and down.
1t is less than so cents a bushel now.
The Republicans did not keep up the
price Of what the farmer has to sell, but
they did increase the price Of almost
everything he had to buy. 1t was pos
itively pitiless to tax the farmer who
sold his wheat for less than the cost Of
production, and to give the proceeds of
that tax to men already enriched beyond
the stories of wealth in the Arabian
Nights. Farmers who submit to TINT
e0rt of thing and continue to vote the
Republican ticket have the meek spirit
that turns the other cheek to be struck.
Perhaps Republican farmers arc like
Billy Patterson. They know they have
been hit, but they have not found out
who hit them. Certainly Republican
farmers vote against their own interests.
