That the result Of the recent election
was a stunning surprise, even to the
victors, goes without saying. Now
that the smoke Of the battle has cleared
away the people are looking around for
the cause, and from investigations so
far made it is demonstrated that the
result was due 20 the stay.at-homes,
and not TO accessions IS the Republican
party.
Mr.. FnEDEBICE c. WAITE, Of Wash
ington City, staJ.st.cian who was en-
9loyed 10 the compilation Of the
eleventh census, has made an analysis
Of the vote, and from it we CLEAN the
following interesting and somewhat
considering data:
To show that the Republican farmers
did not vote for CLEVELAND in 1892 he
analysed the election returns, town oy
town, througnou, the rural districts Of
New York, and discovered that the
rural vote for CLEVELAND was even
less in 1892 than in 1SSS in every agri-
cultural county. Ia Ohio the condition
was the same. This year the Repub-
licaus have not cast as large a percent
age OF the full vote as 10 1SSS in a
single State. Hence, the only reason
able conclusion is that in 1892 the dis

While admitting the necessity for the
sale Of more bonds by the government,
the Republican organs are endeavoring
to make cheap political capital by in
sisting that the situation demonstrates
the incapacity OF the Democratic officials
TO successfully manage the finances
The truth is, the present condition Of
the treasury is the logical result Of Re-
publican Encouragement aud eytrava-
gance-a legacy Of bOtchwork left by
the Harrison administration to It's sue
cessor. When President HARRISON
went into office his Democratic pre-
dessor turned over TO him an overflow
ing treasury. This the Republican
BuHon-Dolar Congress proceeded
forthwith TO sQuander, and it sue
ceeded so we'll that when
President CLEVELAND took his
seat he was confronted with depleted
treasury. Under the Harrison admin
istration the gold reserve had fallen far
below the limit required by law and
Secretary FOSTER had determined to
meet the emergency by the sale Of
bonds, for which purpose the plates
were made and in the hands Of the
printer. But, uDOn the advice Of the
Republican party managers it was de-
cided to defer such action and
allow the odium Of the necessary bond
issue 20 rest upon the incoming admin
istration. 1t was a shabby aud dishon-
orable trick and did much TO add to the
panic then coming on apace.
10 addition, the revenues Of the gov
ernmeut from imports, under the opera
tion Of the Mckinley law, had fallen
off TO such an extent that there was no
hope Of repIenishing the treasury from
that source, aud the only alternative
left was 90 sell bonds, which President
Cleveland promptly did, and thus saved
the public credit.
To prove couclusively the ABOVE state
ment as to diminished revenues under
the Mckinley law it is only necessary
TO take the single item Of sugar, which,
prior to the passage Of the Mckinley
law, produced arevenue Of S6O,00O,Oo0
annually. Multiply this amount by
four, the number Of years the law was
in operation, add S3OOO0,O0O the
amount paid as bounty 10 the planters,
and we nave a grand total Of s27o ,Ooo,-
600, the loss iu revenue to the govern
mont on single item.
President CLEVELAND has decided
upon a second issue OF bonds for the
reason that it has always been his pur-
pose to maintain a gold reserve sufficient
TO keep unimpairad the public credit
both at home and abroad. The gold
reserve is now about 100000 1t
should be 500, 600, 600. The sale Of the
bonds Will keep it near the latter point
until the new tariff law gets fully into
operation, which vii. materially In
crease the revenue receipts.
The policy of the President is an as
surance TO this and to all other coun
tries that the national credit will be
invincibly maintained. Any other
course would be- to encourage lack Of
confidence and furnish the foundation
for another financial panic. 1t has the
unqualified endorsement of the business
interests Of the country and the little
criticism it has received is purely poIit-
zeal bunCombe.

On November 18th, three years old,
the Ideal Club was organized, and
since that time it has been potent
factor in the social life Of Wheeling.
Last evening an anniversary celebra-
ton took place in Frauzheim's
hall, and 10 was one of the
most delightful entertainments ever
given under the auspices of the
club. Seventy-fve guests were
present, many coming from neigh bor-
ing towns. The hall looked very pretty,
with It's chandeliers trimmed with ever
green, festoons of tri-coIored cloth suS-
pended from the ceiling, and a lavish
display Of chrysanthemums and choice
conservatory plants banked between
the windows. On the south wall in
large letters OF evergreen and Smilax
were the words "IdeaI-lS9I-lS94."
The costumes Of the ladies' were very
handsome, and during the dances the
hall presented very pretty and ami
maod scene. TheOpera House orches-
ira made the melody for the terpsichor-
can festivities, and the incipieut blaze
which threatened 10 terminate the
festivities, only contributed in the end
to the pleasure OF the guests. Al mid
night there was an Intern isSiou, during
which bountiful spread was discussed
in tue rooms of the Ideal Club on the
floor beneath.

AvANIsHED MAJoRITY.

The people this year are evidently in
a Topping humor The unstable char
acter OF the Republican majorities
throughout the country is aptly illus
trated by a special election held in
Hamilton county, Ohio, last Tuesday
for Judge of the Insolvency Court,
which resulted in the election OF the
Democratic candidate by over three
thousand majority. One week
previous the Republicans car
ried the county by $4,000, showing a
flop Of $4,000 in seven days. This
sudden change of sentiment in Ham
Hton county is doubtless the result OF
the sober second thought Of the peo-
pie and is out an instance of what will
happen throughout the country. When
4he Republicans two years hence come
to put their fingers on the fancy ma.
jorjtjes over which they are now so
much elated, they will find them like
the Irishman's flea.
