Republican Party Not Dead.

The republican party is not dead;
the sweeping victory attained by the
democrats and the big vote polled by
the so-called progressives at Tues
days election Notwithstanding, says
the Dubuque Times-Journal.
There have been far more serious
ruptures in the democratic party in
other years than that which divided
the republican party this year and
yet the democrats have managed to
heal factional wounds and present
united front. With rival tickets
headed by Douglas and Breckinridge
in 1850 the democratic party divided
on sectional lines and the feud be-
came so bitter that for a quarter of
a century no democrat was elected to
the presidency.
In 1864 the democratic party car
ried only three states and its candi-
date for president, Gen. Mcclellan,
received 2 electoral votes while Lin
coin received PIP. In the next two
presidential elections the vote of the
democratic party was trifling. The
party rallied in 1876 under the lead
ership of Tilden and came within a
few votes of electing president, but
1t was not until 1884 that democrat
was elected president.
Let pessimistic republicans and en-
thusiastic democrats remember that
there is far greater likelihood of
the rival factions of the republican
party getting together soon than
there was for the warning forces of
democracy to unite in other years.
The men who abandoned the repub-
lican party in the campaign which
has just ended will be back in the
ranks when the next presidential ell
ection occurs, if not before. There
is common ground on which re-
publicans of both factions can unite
and that is the tariff question. The
democratic party will have four years
in which to convince the people that
their ideas on the vital questions are
right. They may succeed, but IL they
do it will be the first time in history
that tariff tinkering has benefited
the masses, but whether the coming
democratic administration is sue
cess or a failure there will be a uni
ted republican party four years
hence. Leaders of both factions of
the party are agreed that each must
make some concessions and meet on
a common ground. The element in
the republican party to which the
Roosevelt supporters entered objec-
tions have largely been eliminated
So have the leaders of the bolt.
There are great opportunities for
new men as leaders OF the republi-
can party.

Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire and Rhode Island went
democratic for the first time in their
history on presidential election. Pen
nsylvania and Minnesota have for
merly always gone republican. IL
linois, Indiana, Connecticut, Della
ware, Michigan, New Jersey, North
Dakota, Ohio, West Virginia and
Wisconsin went democratic for presi-
dent for the first time since Cleve-
land was elected in 1892.
In the state of Iowa the result on
the governorship was in doubt until
Saturday, when it was generally
agreed that Gov. Clarke had been
elected by plurality of 1852 votes
over Dunn. However, Dunn and the
democratic chairman still claim the
latter's election, and will not concede
defeat until the official count dis
closes it this week.
The entire republican state ticket
is elected, by pluralities ranging from
1000 to $4,000. The democrats
have elected congressman in the third
and sixth districts, all others repub-
lican.
In the district Congressman G.. N.
Haugen gets splendid Endorsement,

10 the Democrats Of Escamhia connt,,

To the Dem ocrats of Escamb County.
Mr.. T. A. Jennings's two-colun1n
mosaic or general denial directed at
me IN yesterdays Pensacola News con-
stltutes it's own best answer.
He pleads that he didn't want a
controversy and that I dragged him
INTO one. He says that he was happv
10 be out of politics and that I hound
ed him until he found it necessary tn
get back into politics.
man frequently finds that he didn't
want controversy and I have no
doubt at all of Mr.. Jennings's abso1
lutte sincerity when he says he does
rot want this one. I have no doubt
also that had he GOT OUT Of politics
Che couldn't BE out because he never
WAS QUIT he would have been a great
zeal happier than now when he is IN
politics.
l did not say that HE ever tried 10
control the policy of The Journal. T
dld ask If it were not a fact that the
special Interest opposition to me was
not the result of the inability of those
interests to control the policy of the
paper When Mr.. Jennings assumes
TO answer that question he arrogates
70 hlmsen a much bigger share in
special Interest proprietorship than |
ever accorded him. I knew he trained
with them In politics, but l never
credited him with being the whole
cheese.
Fe says I never asked him how much
money ne was spending in this cam

a. OFFER to publish a statement show
ing now much, and for what purposes,
ne was spending money in Escambia
county II he would make the sta tie
ment lie didn't make the statement.
His newspaper said it was none of my
business. He has not yet made such
statement. My offer is still open.
His reference to the Joker in the
city charter bill is ludicrous. He in
troduced the bill, and if there was a
Joker in it, he knew just as much
about it. then as he does now. He found
the bill Objectionable only after the
attorney of the Pensacola Electric Co.
had requested him to kill it. He re-
membered his campaign pledge only
when he found it necessary to present
an excuse for changing his mind
Mr.. Jennings says that these things
are not germane TO the Wilson Under
wood campaign. He is correct. But
they ARE germane to his fight on me
in this county and that is why l cited
them.
But despite Mr.. Jennings's opposi-
ton l shall be elected a delegate and
Escambia is one Of the counties | ex-
pect to carry. It has never occurred
to me that Mr.. Jennings's vest pocket
was big enough to hold all of the
voters in Escambia county. But life is
too short to pursue a vanquished foe.

WHY HANK o'DAY FAILED.
Was Not Able to Change From Role
 of Umpire.

One complaint against Hank O'Day as a manager was that he could not change from the role of umpire, which he had filled so long. He refused to commingle with his players and he would let the Officiousness that doth hedge about an indicator holder crop out in his handling of team affairs. Even in his quitting the position at Cincinnati O'Day was still the umpire. the autccrat of his own case. for he did not wait to be canned, but ordered himself out of the game with a letter of resignation. It is nothing against Hank O'Day's talents as a manager that he is considered d failure at Gin cinnau. So was Clark Griffith, and he finished second in the American league the year after. So was Joe" Kelley, and he was pennant winner m another league. Hanks misfor- tune was in his selection of the team ie should manage. He is as silent as 70 his future plans as an umpire dis .ussins decision, but he will not be lacking in offers for the calling that be has found even more pleasant than managing a ball team-in Cincinnati. He has place open for him as an umpire in either the National or the American league-he may take his choice. and having become a con frmed umpire he is pretty sure to con- ttnue as one

BASEBALL WON'T DO IN CHINA.
Nations Etiquet Causes Delay in It's
 Progress.

An American newspaper man who has just returned from a Chinese jour ney says that the younger and more progressive element of the Chinks can be counted on to adopt and boom baseball, but that the conservatives, though they like the game, are under heavy drawbacks on account Of the peculiar Chinese customs and rules Of etiquet. T saw some Chinese near Hankow," says the traveller, who had taken up the game and received 1n- structions from several returned col lege students. They played a game one afternoon, and at the end of the third inning it was pitch dark, score g to g. JTheir rules of etiquet delayed the battle. The umpire was the dis trict mandarin, and every time he called a man out he'd say: '1llustrious son of the moon and the brightest con- stellations, it gives me sorrow beyond all expression of language to inform you that the honored first baseman received the ball an infinitesima1 frac- tion of time before your high born foot was upon the cushion
 And the base runner would answer: Toftiest lord of the red button, al- though it seemed to my poor compre- hension that heard the thump of my insignificant foot upon the bag before the estimable first baseman received the ball, bow to your superior intel ligence, for what Is my reasoning to yours? AS is a worm of the dust com pared to a soaring eagle; as is way side clod to the peaks of lofty noun tains; as is the cat that yowls by night compared to the imperial tiger! Your excellency, lord of the red button, has decreed that am out. and accept the edict gracefully!' Now, how in blazes can you ever get through nine innings under that sore of circumstances"

AMERICANS WILL ACCEPT.
English Polo Challenge Will Not Re-
 main Unnoticed.

The American polo association will accept the challenge of the Hurling ham polo club of England for a series of games for the America cup, to be played in this country next year. This was announced by W. A. Hazard, sec retary of the American association. He said that while official action was yet to be taken by the executive com mittee of the association, there was no doubt that the challenge would be ac cepted. MT Hazard received notiflca- tion by cable Friday night that the challenge had been mailed, and the executive committee will take official action upon its receipt.
 Great interest has been aroused at London by the challenge sent by the Birmingham polo club to the American polo association to play series of games for the America cup. Eight or 10 of England's best lplayers will come to the United States, so that there will be plenty of men on hand in case of accident. The team under the cap taincy of Walter s. Buckmaster will probably be selected from Lord Wode- house. Capt G. E. Belville. Capt. Leslie St. c. Cheape, Capt. J. Har- dress Lloyd, Capt. R. G. Ritson and F. M. Freake, while Capt. F. St. J. At kinson and B. A. B. ScrefTber with one or two other players will be asked to make the trip. All these players have been members of different teams in the tournaments this summer, but in order to put them more together they will engage in a great deal of practice next spring at Eaton. Eng.
 Under the new agreement the matches will, it is understood, be played between June 1 and July 8, or as soon thereafter as the weather permits, so that the British team will not have much time in America before the matches are played. The duke of Westminster, who will defray the en- tire cost of the British teams visit to America, has good stable, but is still on the lookout for more good ponies, while it is probable that others will be loaned for the Anglo American matches H. Payne Whitney with other American players were in Eng land during the summer, and were said to be on the lookout for good ponies. The papers made an appeal to Eng fish owners to give the duke of West minister the first refusal of any horses for sale.
 English polo men express themselves as confident of winning the inter national games in America. Some of the team have wonderful records. Walter S. Buckmaster acquired fame with the old Cantables team, the winners of the Huntington cup last summer. Capt. Cheape was a great player with the team in 1911, and Capt. Ritson has a fine Indian repu- tation.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
ANOTHER BEARISH DAY. Quotations Drop from One to Six Points, but Recover Later.

New York, Dec. 6-The bear cam paign was resumed on the stock ex- change today, and prices gave way be- fore another determined onslaught. The movement was less general and of shorter duration than yesterdays. Quotations gave way from one to six points on the break, but later the mar ket recovered handsomely. While there was no apparent change in the factors which determine the state of what is known as speculative sentiment, there seemed to be less uneasiness on the part of security holders. There was evidence of forced liquidation yester- day, whereas today's movement ap- peared to be due more largely to bear selling.
 The market was helped by sober ing down of the fluctuations among the minor specialties which broke so vio- lently yesterday, presumably because of discrimination of lending institu- tions against these securities as collat- eral. While the banks still maintain ed this attitude. the result was not as noticeable, since yesterdays movement disposed of large holdings of these less stable securities.
 The market began the day calmly and bear traders devoted the first hour to testing the list here and there. Then selling increased and during an hour of great activity prices went down rap idly Some of the prominent issues broke under yesterdays low points to the bottom prices of several months. Steel sold at 67 1-2, Amalgamated at 79 1-2, Union Pacific at 166 5-8, and American Can at 30 1-4, all new low prices for the movement. Shortly aft CT noon the market turned and rose easily. Losses were largely made up, and at the close there were some net gains. Short covering played a con- siderable part in the rally.
 Forecasts of tomorrow's bank state ment indicated a cash loss of $1,000,- 900 or less to $3,o00,000. It was the opinion of some bankers, however, that the deficit in bank reserves reported last week would be greatly reduced, or possibly eliminated in this weeks re- port, owing to the recent liquidation of stocks and attendant reductions of loans and shifting of loans to out of town institutions.
 The bond market declined sharply but made some recovery toward the close. Total sales, par value, $2,035,- GOO.
 United States bonds unchanged on call.
