defeat of Mr.. German or Mr. Brice or
Mr. Hill; but the fact that there has
been so decided change in the sentl
ment of the Democrats in Nebraska and
Illinois on the silver question must nat
urally be source of qualification to him.
"No cannot tel you what he thinks
about Kentucky or Mary land. 1t is fair
to suppose that if Senator Gorman had
not forced the nomination OF a ticket
| that was offensive to large fraction of
| his party it would have received more
harmonious support, and If the Demo
Gratis of Kentucky had not nominated a
free coinage candidate upon an anti
free coinage platform they would have
received more credit for consistency.
That is self-evideut, think, but | can
not see why any one should charge the
national administration with the re
| sponsibility of such folly, or assert that
it should accept any share OF the reouke
| that has followed it.
''I do not think that the President,
as loyal Democrat, rejoices over the
result in Maryland or Kentucky or Ohio,
and | am very sure that he regrets it in
New York" continued my cabinet
| friend. while he may not entirely
approve of all Senator Gorman's meth
DDS nor share all his views, he would
| nevertheless consider it a great loss to
| the country if Mr.. German were retired
| from public life

Democrat was beaten" said Col. Morri

"No, | should not call the result of the
voting Tuesday an unqualified indorse
ment of the administration, but do not
consider myself competent to interpret
its meaning or point out the lessons it
teaches. You can go up to the White
House and see Thurber about that. He
will fix you out. But as practical nan,
am willing to say that it locks to me as
if the voters of the countr, did not want
the men who were beaten to held Office.
They preferred the men who were elect
ed That fact will no doubt soon be ap-
preciated by both sets of candidates and
the public generally, even if they do not
already realize it. That is the great
moral | draw from the election"
"What effect will yeste days vote
have upon the next Democratic Natio lal
Convention z"
None whatever. There will be just
as many candidates as before and all of
them will be just as anxious to secure the
nomination. Any sane American whosays
that he does not want to be President,
or that he does not want to be nominat-
ed as a candidate for President, is liar.
| No, the prospects for the election of the
Democratic ticket pext year are not fat
tering, bur that will make no difference

New Workers here say that Tsmmany
is for Cleveland for a third term, and
so is Hill and Murphy. Their argument
| is that he has brought the party to de-
feat and that he should Re the man to
suffer by bad defeat for the presidency.
Such childish talk is unworthy of lead
ers. No matter who brought the party

crat to work for victory, and not indulge
in saying to others, "You did it.
North Carolinians here sympathize
with Mr. j. N. Cartwright, the merchant
| from Shiloh, Camden county, whose con-
fdence in stranger caused him to lose
$500 yesterday, particulars of which were
telegraphed you 1t seems that Mr..
Cartwright red two days ago with
| $500 cash to purchase his winter stock
| of goods for his country store. While
waiting in Norfolk for the boat be was
| approached by stranger, and so enter
tanning was the stranger that he soon
made friends with Mr. Cartwright, and
as they strolled along the streets cf Nor
folk, Cartwright told the stranger that
he was going to Baltimore, via Washing
ton, to purchase stock of goods, and
that he was carrying all of his money,
$500, in his valise. The stranger said he
was going 10 Washington also.
When they arrived they both register
ed at the Metropolitan Hotel, deposited
their valises with the clerk and received
checks for them. The stranger, by some
s'eight of hand, reversed checks and
took Mr. Caltwright's. Mr.. Cartwright
went into breakfast, and few minutes
afterwards The stranger came and asked
for his valise. AS the check corresponded
with the one on Mr.. Cartwright's valise,
he took the latter valise with its contents
When Mr.. Cartwright learned short
time afterwards of the robbery, he was
so overcome that he cried like child,
for he said it was all the money he pos
sessed. Detectives were put on the case
and Mr.. Cartwright returned home by
the next boat.
DR.. G.. w. Sanderlin returned this
morning from Elizabeth City, where he
has been for a week, attending to inter
ests of his farm near by. The boat by
which DR.. Sanderlin returned ran into a
tug near Newport News and sank it..
The fog being 80 dense, seeing ahead any
distance was impossible. Ali were res
cued save two, the cook and fireman.
