1T is not known that any of the
defeated candidates are assuming the
role, but a number of disappointed
adherents we are ashamed to confess
are'using extravagant statements to
explain why they did not carry the
day for their candidate o.. come up
tqstbeir promises. The most COM
mon one is to charge cheating, and
with the cry of "thief'' on their lips
hoping thus to cloak their own short
comings. Judging from local events
and ante-election calculations we I'M
hesitatingly say that Lancaster had a
square election. destinations don't
go further than an -eared cote
ries Substantial charges should be
made, or defamers of honorable men be
judged by their own sneaking meth
DDS. We do not believe at this cleo
ton there was judge but abhorred
the political cannibalism some have
dealt in in the past, butcheriug Dem
ocrat for Democrat or Republican
unfortunately. Speaking for our
own precinct, where there was
one Republican Judge and one repre-
senting each Democratic faction,
with ballot box in full view on the
road, we do not believe any unfair
dealings could have happened if the
desire had been found. The de-
feated faction may have counted on
half dozen more votes here than thew
got, but they really received four more
than canvassers here believed they
would receive. Irvington is an ex-
ample of faith and-call it clannish-
ness If you will, but the more laudable
title of ':fidelity to her own" is the
true term. A place of two hundred vo-
ters and not a single vote cast against
local option is hardly likely to give a
wet candidate many votes when OPP
posing one of her leading citizens.
Even the most rabid oppositionist
must admit this aud commend her
loyalty to principle and her record
for Democracy.

what a phrase) of pure Democracy
IS sight for the gods to weep over.
Tho pessimistic wall of the unhappy
"Desmond" as he views the Gre
mains" of the "late revolution" is
almost enough to wiring the heart of
cabbage aud bring tears to the eyes
OF a potato. lie gazes upon the po-
litical skies. but sees no bow of
promise to comfort his stricken soul.
All, all, is of sombre blackness, an
ominous cloud that threatens the
existence of squire Democracy He
can now sympathize with Chicks IA
Lucky, OF the nursery tale, who when
a leaf fell on her tail, thought the
skies were falling and said, 81 saw it
with my eyes, l heard it with my
ears, and a piece fell on the end Of
my tail" Ia the halcyon days be-
fore the slate revolution" the "pure
democracy" was in its glory. 1t
would call a meeting at the Court
House, where none but the faithful
would be likely to attend, and fix
things to suit itself--or himself, or
themselves, which ever it was-and
everything would be lovely while the
goose hung high. But at the first
opportunity the balance of the peo-
pie laid it, or him, or them, by the
heels, aud enveloped it, or him, or
them with the "massive chains of
bondage and they do not seem to
feel any conjunction of conscience
for SO doing.
The people at large have been fool
ed and bamboozled so long by the
apostles of the aforesaid squire Dem
ocracy" that they got tired and have
concluded to take charge themselves
for awhile. If squire Democracy
means blind unquestioning obedience
to the will or within of any man or set
of men then it is time to DESTROY it.
There is no doubt that the will of
the people has been overridden time
and again by the doings at the Court
House. The people have awakened
to a sense of their power, and woe be
to that man who shall attempt to
stem the current of popular thought.

ia this so in respect to Maryland and
New York, points next in interest to
our own State. The Old Dominion

Ola our country of the prevailing

the excess of marriages for this

Coffee in its place as he and his family

Il hesitated for time, disliking the
idea of having to give up my coffee but
finally I got a package and found it to

NECK BROKEN.
Searsmont Lady Thrown from
Carriage and Killed.
Horse Became Frightened and Beyond
Control Of Her Brother.
When He Returned Found Sister Dead
by Roadside.

Rockland, Me, Oct. 26.-News reached
here, today. of q peculiar accident at
Searsmont, in which Miss Lizzie Mad
dox, aged As, lost her life.
Miss Maddox, with a brother, Allen
Maddox, Who.live about mile from the
center of the town, started for the viii
lage, Saturday evening. They had gone
but short distance when the horse
became frightened and ran away.
Miss Maddox jumped, but her brother
continued until the animal had been
oUieted. Surprising his sister was UNI
injured, he drove to the village and re-
turning, found his sister beside the
road with her neck broken.
Several people had passed the spot,
but in the darkness had not distir-
guished the dead body.
