negotiations, which have been SO un-
justly used as political capital by un-
scrupulous yellow journals and Popo-
cratic organs;
The bonds OF the government were be-
ginning 10 fall due, and. as no arrange
ment had been made 10 pay them n as
Congress had been shllly-shallylng ever
since 1873. there Is a fair prospect that
the nation would lose the entire amount
OF Its claim. on January 1.-THE house
defeated the last r~efunding bill offered,
and Mr.. Cleveland, who never hesitated
at an act he deemed necessary, accepted
the pledge of the reorganization commit
tee to put In a minimum bid OF S45,75i,0O
for the property and agreed to a sale,
Mr.. Cleveland did not promise TO sell the
road for that sum; there was nothing IN
the bargain, n bargain II could be called,
to prevent other bidders from competing,
or to keep the reorganization committee
from paying more, as Il has done. In
fact the government was not hampered
in any a II had been promised In
any event a sum sufficient TO pay tie
$50, 500, 900 advanced originally. and Sl2,-
100000 applicable to the payment of the
arrears OF interest. This at the time VAS
thought TO be a good price, for the road
had paid only 81, $50, 900 OF the S2,O12,3 $40
annual interest on the 6 per cent subsidi-
airy bonds and yet had become bank
rupt, When bankrupt properties are re-
organized charges must be, scaled down
and the government, like other creditors,
naturally expected to lose part Of its
claim. In this state OF affairs II the road
had been sold for the minimum bid the
result would have been more favorable
than could have been reasonably expect
ed last year. However, business Inn
proved wonderfully during the summer,
and the committee, as there seemed a
disposition on the part of the govern
ment to delay, raised It's minimum bid to
$4,000, 900, and afterward was forced to
put up $1,000, 900 more.
These are the exact circumstances Of
the whole matter, and the statements by
sensational papers that other s~yndIcates
stood ready to bid on the road appear
to have no foundation, The country is to
be congratulated that the government
has had its claim satisfied, and is re-
lieved OF a road which has been n bone OF
contention for twenty years.

Just how the Popcratlc press and poll
tlcians can twist a signal Republican
victory in Ohio into 4 Democratic victory
is past understanding, The result is all
that the Republican party contended for.
1t means the election Of Senator Hanna
to succeed himself and another term for
u Republican state administration,
Considering that this is but the second
time In thirty years that Ohio has gone
Republican in an off year with a seua-
torship at stake, and that she has
been in the habit of eiecting a Demo-
cratic legislature to choose a Democratic
colleague for the Republican senator,
where does the Democratic triumph come
in? The Registers talk about Mr.. Han
ma being ''dlscredited and repudiated,"
Is the veriest nonsense, In view OF these
facts. and the fact that he enjoys what
no Republican candidate, save one, for
the senate in Ohio in such a year has en-
joyed, namely, success,
Had Ohio done what she has been in
the habit of doing in the past thirty
years, our Popocratic friends would have
been enabled to elect a senator to sue
coed Mr.. Hanna. The truth is the result
of Tuesdays election in the Buckeye
state is a distinct and unusually crafty
ing Republican victory, and is an en-
dorsement of President McKlnley's adj
mlnlstraton, despite the light vote that
was poiied.

Our Popocratic nelGhbor says that
Should an official count be necessary to
decide the complexion Of the next legis-
lature, which is not probable, or, what is
still less likely, that the result in the
close counties should on technlcalitles be
thrown into the courts for decision, Il
must be borne in mind that the eyes Of
the whole American people are centred
on Ohio and on the count and on the OFF,
Gals engaged in the work, and the man
who may attempt to altar or discred!t
the returns by any sor of chicanery will
have placed upon him a brand more ter
rible than that of Cain and there will
be no place for him in America"
This Is good doctrine, applied general
~. but our nelghbor applies It only TO
the Ohio Republicans, assuming, without
warrant, that the party which has Just
obtained a majority Of $1,000 in that
state in an off year Immediately follow
ing a national election, something It had
done only once before in thirty years, lie
about I o steal something to increase its
majority in the assembly, There is no
evidence that there will be any "chlcan-
cry" on the part of the Republicans;
there Is, however. evidence that "chican-
cry" will be praeticed by the Popocratlc
managers. Allen o.. Myers and John II.
McLean's henchmen are about the only
ones who are crying stop thief and be-
having mysterIously, and they will bear
watching. The people Of this country
have not forgotten the tally sheet frauds
Of 1885 and the connection Of this same
gang with them.
Myers has a good deal to answer for
in the campaign Just closed, among
other things. the circulation OF a forged
letter the day before election, while Nc
Lean, whose Doodle and corrupt methods
were factors. is tatooed from head to
foot. on the ground that he furnished
the money for the campaign in which the
Republican majority vas reduced, he Is
already being groomed as a presidential
candidate.
But It will be impossible for this prec.
ious crowd, with a record for corrupt
political methods dating back for twelve
years, To accomplish anything in the way
of cheating the Republicans out OF thel'
victory. Tho majority In the Legislature
OF Ohio Is safely Republican, Bushnell II

may as well take their medicine like men

The Register grows hysterlcal IN COM
menting on the result OF the Ohio cleo
ton. It's hatred OF Senator Hanna leads
It to indulge In a double-leaded TRADE
about frauds and attempts to suppress
news, hold back returns, and various
other outrages which nobody ever heard
of, and only exist in the Registers imag-
nation. Here Is a sample Of the balder-
dash;
That the design of the Hanna managers
was to cheat the people out Of their Vic
tory, IL possible, should the contest be
close, Is very evident from the fact that
the returns have been extraordinarily
late this election. although there never
were better facilities for handling them
early, with few exceptions e~verychannel
Of news from Ohio iSln the contrOlof Han
ma, and 1t is as certain as that night fol-
lows day that is the returns had been
favorable TO Hanna w would have
known the result probably twelve hours
sooner.
There IS about as much ground for this
nonsense as there Is TO believe that u
friend can discuss n political matter
with any degree OF fairness, The re-
turns from Ohio were not %'extraordi-
uarlly late" They CAME as rapidly as
usual, but 1t is true that the actual result
of the election of n legislature was longer
in being determined than usual, because
| 1t was so close as to require the official
vote from several counties to determine
it.. Ordinarily this is not the case In
Ohio, where the result has been so over
~whelmlngly one way or the other that 1t
could be ascertained within a few hours.
In No state where, in the election OF 146
members of the legislature, the contest
] narrows down TO where two or three
doubtful counties hold the key to the
situation, a the result be finally de-
termIned until the returns from those
| counties are in, and often it is necessary
to have every precinct In and the official
count. The Register knows that precise
ly the same situation existed in Mary
land.
1t Is not true that the channels Of news
in Ohio are controlled by Mr.. Hanna,
1t would be impossible for him or any
other man to control them. The election
news was gathered by the Associated
Press through it's corps Of correspond
ents In every city and important town in
the state. and by the Western Union Tel
egraph Company, and was given to the
public as rapidly as the votes could be
counted. The Register knows this, and
1t knows that. in addition to these agen-
cles, the respective state committees had
their sources OF information in every
county, and that their returns agreed,
their public statements only differing as
to the estimates made ot'the probable
result. All the leading metropolitan
papers also had their special reports
from every section OF the state, The
statement that Mr.. Hanna or n one
else could have controlled the news Is
preposterous. Surely the Registers BIT
ter partisan hatred uf Mr.. Hanna must
have affected It's mind.
