High Water Mark.
The Democrats of this county can-
not, we know, fully appreciate the vic-
tory they won on the 4th inst. It was
so overwhelming, so much more deci-
sive and so much greater than any one
expected, that it is difficult to realize.
In fact, never since the county was
formed was there such decisive major-
ities returned, and the result of the
recent election is the reaching of the
high water mark for the Democracy of
Centre. While there may be many
causes that effected the vote on the
State Ticket, it must be admitted by all
that it was local causes that rolled up
the majorities for the local ticket. The
vote on the county ticket simply ehows
that the people of the county were dis-
gusted with the infamous mannver in
which the sheriff's office has been run
by a Republican official ; that they are
sick and tired of the mismanagement
of the county finances by an incom pe-
tent board of commissioners; and that
the dirty political methods resorted to
by the few would-be leaders of the
Republican party, are as disastrous to
those who adopt them as they are
demoralizing to those whom they are
expected to influence.
We are not surprised that the State
ticket received the vote it did. That
was looked for and expected. Quay-
ism, Reedism and “McKinleyism” did
that. These did not effect the vote on
the county ticket, but a debauched re-
publican sheriff, incompetent republi-
can commissioners, and the dirty cam-
paign that was run by post-master
FemLer and his forces, did. The re-
sult is a lesson to the Republicans and
a warning to Democrats. 1he former
feels the results; the latter profit by
them and if wise will heed the warn-
ing,
To show how overwhelming the vic-
tory is, we have taken the trouble to
examined the official returns for this
county for the past thirty-three years,
and in connection herewith we give the
highest majoritiys given for any candi-
date on the ticket at each election dur-
ing that time. It is not the average,
but the highest majority given to any
one on the ticket that we present.
These highest majorities show for the
years given an average of 738, or 95
less than the majority for the lowest man
on the ticket this year, and 516 less
than the average majority for the en-
tire ticket. For the years given, the
average majority in the county is less
than 400; this fall it reaches 1354.

Something to Be Proud Of.
The great effort of the Republican
leaders of the county, at the recent
election, was to secure the success of
their candidate for Sheriff. To this
end every effort was made and every
scheme that promised any assistance
was adopted. All the balance of their
ticket seemed to be forgotten ; men
equally as good and deserving as Major
Worr, who happened to be on the
ticket with him, were left to “hoe their
own rows,” and take care of their own
interests, while the money they had
paid into their county committee funds
was expended without stint, to benefit
Mr. Worr. With the whole fight
centered on the Sheriff, it is a proud
fact for Mr. IsHLER to point to, that
his majority for that position is larger,
with one single exception, than chat
given to any Democratic candidate for
| the same office in this county during
the past thirty-three years. Over all
other candidates Mr. IsHLER bas a
majority of 775. Over WoLF he has
833. The following are the majorities
given for the different Sheriffs who
have filled that office in this county
since 1857. The figures given being
the majorities over all other candidates
who were voted for:
D. W. Woodring
B. F. Shaffer...
Levi Munson.
John Spangler
T. J.Dunkle...
Miles Walker.
Robert Cooke..
Deserve It.
From all quarters and from all sides
county chairman HEINLE is receiving
that meed of praise that is justly due
him for his management of the cam-
paign in this county. Mr. H. is not
given to blowing, and many thought,
during the contest, that because a great
hullo-balloo was not being made about
head quarters, that the party organiza-
tion was not as complete or as active
as it should be. Resultsare what tell,
and the magnificent majorities rolled
up on the 4th inst., show the great
mistake those who imagined nothing
was being done, made. While every
Democrat iu the county who did his
duty is entitled to his full share of the
credit of our great victory, yet the
men who were at the head of the or
ganization, and upon whose shoulders
the responsibilities, the vexations and
the work of the campaign rested,should
neither be forgotten nor overlooked. To
chairman HENLE and to every mem-
ber of his county and school district
committees, the Democracy of the
county, we know, are grateful for their
good and effective work.
——Gen, Hastings has been airing
his opinion through a dispatch to the
‘newspapers, in which he says the “re-
sult of the recent elections is not a
blow at the administration nor at the
principles or policy of the Republican
party.” Evidently our big townsman
imagines that the whole country kick-
ed, simply because Ae was not made
bell-wether of the Republican flock.
The Farmers’ Alliance Growing.
As an illustration of the rapid
growth of this new factor in public af-
fairs, the Harrisburg Patriot of Mon.
day says: That the Farmers’ Alli
ance is growing in Peansylvania is
readily seen by the fact of the remark-
anle increase in membership of a sin
gle Alliance near this city. Patriarch
Farmers’ Alliance, No. 1, Sasquehan-
na township, a few weeks ago admit-
ted to membership 17 farmers at a bi-
weekly meeting; at the regular session
on the 27th of October, 20 were admit-
ted, and last evening 31 more, and a
large number of applications are pend-
ing. This single local alliance expects
to reach a membership of over 500
farmers by the 1st of April next. The
turn-out last
dented.
l
I'he movement to oust Quay
can National Committee is taking a
decided shape, and is made more deter-
mined by the fact that he cheated the
congressional committee of the party
by using in DELAMATER'S interest
money which they had intended
should be used in the congressional
elections. Quay raised a large fund
by his $10 green goods certificates.
All this was used to help his Pennsyl-
vania candidate, while the congress
men were left to get along without
boodle. This has naturally made the
congressional committee and the other
leaders mad, and hence their deter-
wination to bounce Quay from the
head of the National Comittee.
The Farmers’ Alliance did much
in overthrowing the tariff monopolists
in the West, and elected some congress-
men who are distinctly their represen-
tatives, notably in Kansas, but when
they claim 87 members of the next
congress they are claiming too much.
Nearly all of these were nominated as
Democrats by Democratic conventions
on Democratic platforms, and were
elected chiefly by Democratic votes.
It is true they received much assistance
from the anti-monopoly farmers, but
there are only three or four who were
elected directly as Farmers’ Alliance
candidates.
This year’s production of In-
dian corn, potatoes and other products
are considerably below the average of
former years, necessarily increasing
the average of price, yet Secretary
Rusk is demagogue enough to claim
that the price has gone up in conse-
quence of Republican legislation.
The tarmers, however, have shown
that they can no longer be humbugged
by such specious representations.
——Judge GresHaM, speaking late-
ly in Chicago, said: “Those who spend
money in corrupting voters and bribing
officers are more dangerous enemies to
the Republic than were the men who
were engaged in unsuccessful rebellion
against it.” The Judge is correct in
this view. Corruptionists of the Quay
class are more dangerous, because
more insidious, than armed rebels ar-
rayed in open warfare.
——That mammoth monopoly, the
Sugar Trust, has been wound up by
process of law. A few more elections
like the recent one will wind up the
monopoly tariff, the source of such
evening was unprece- |
from the chairmanship of the Republi-
A Large Undertaking.
| The Philadelphia Democrats have
(commenced to purify (?) their party,
i but like everything else they undertake
[they have begun at the wrong end
| The other night the city executive com-
mittee passed resolutions to expel Al-
dermen Wu. McMuLLeN and PETER
MoxroE from that organization, and
after expelling them appointed a com-
mittee to investigate the matter. Peo.
ple who don’t go off “half cocked,” or
who are not controlled by personal
prejudices or factional clamor, and
who wanted to do the right thing,
{would have first made an investigation
rand based there action on what that
‘investigation might have shown up. As
it is, hustling these two heretofore ac-

tive workers out of the organization
‘and branding them as political traitors,
without a hearing, can do no possible
good, and must result in leaving the
party in that city in worse shape
than its present pitiable condition
‘shows it to be in. We would like to
see the Philadelphia Democracy puri.
fied and straightened out into respecta-
‘ble condition and standing. The good
Lord and every body in the country
‘knows they need it badly, but we very
much fear that if every fellow who has

I party’s candidate in that city is to be
'incontinently kicked out of the or-
| ganization and party, there will be no
‘organization or party left. Under any
circumstances, the purification of the
! Philadelphia Democracy ‘will prove a
big job.
Since the State Legislature will
be Democratic, although with a re-
duced majority, some curiosity has
been excited asto who will represent
| Mr, Cameron and who will speak for
Quay during the sessions. In the
House undoubtedly young ‘‘Dick”
Quay will be his father’s manager if he
displays any shrewdness at all. Bat it
is an open question as yetall around as
to who will lead the different
factions into which the party promises
to be divided daring the sessions, row
that Quay's absolute domiaation
appears to be gone. There seems
to be little question that Representa-
tive SamueL M. WHERRY will be the
leader of the Democratic side of the
House. Nor does there appear to be
any doubt that ex-Senator WILLIAM
A. WaLrace will be the Democratic
nominee for the UnitedStates Senate,
——Chairman KERR'S position at
the head of the Democratic party in
the State, and his opportunity for ob-
servation, entitle his views to great
respect, and he says “Mr. CLEVELAND'S
popularity with the masses is such
that it the nominating convention
were held to-morrow he would be
chosen standard bearer with a rush.”
His popularity is something like that
of Parrison’s. It has hold of the confi
dence of the people. Still Mr. Kerr
thinks it is difficult to predict the nowmn-
inee, as much will depend upon future
contin gencies.
WHEELING, W. Va., Nov. 9.—Mis.
Mary Kent, the oldest woman in West
Virginia and one of the pioneer settlers,
died at Moundesville, W. Va., last night
at the age of 114 years.
Mrs. Kent came of a numerous Vir-
ginia family and her descendants are
scattered all over this portion of the
Ohio valley. Her youngest child is Mrs,
Mariah Loch, of Moundsville, now aged
70. Mrs. Kent was a constant user of
abominations as the Sugar Trust.

insight of a railroad, was never on a train.

Jarrett’'s Farewell.
His Final Renunciation of the United
States.
Pittsburg Leader. :
John Jurrett’s final renunciation and
anathematizing of the United States is
by long odds, the most awful of the
many awful results attending the whole-
sale triumph of the Democracy. Jar-
rett came over from his Birmingham
Consulate, at great inconvenience to
himself, to act as mentor, guide and
friend to the American people. He had
been accustomed to hold several States
in the hollow of his hand, to make and
unmake Congressmen, to mold legisla-
tion and to direct the actions of leading
politicians as one would move pieces on
a chess board. Hence he had good rea-
son to believe all he had to do was to
make a rapid progress through the coun-
try. briefly inform the people of his
wishes and abide the gratifying issue.
What was the result? Instead of obey
ing Jarrett’s wise mandates the unre
ganerate multitude turned squarely
around, spurned his advice, repudiated
hiz authority and arrogated to do its
own thinking.
Is it any wonder after this that John
Jarrett leaves us wo our fate; that he
refuses to invest hare the enormons ag-
gregate of his consular salary and his
earnings on the stump, and that he
shakes the dust of this country from his
brogans forever ? Lf, in anger, he goes
off to some other country and builds up
competition that will ruin American
industries and paralyze American com-
merce it will serve our people right.
They should have thought twice before
provoking a man of his calibre.
Thanksgiving Day,
W asHINGTON, November 9.—The fol
lowing is the Thanksgiving Day proc-
lamation by the President of the Uni-
j | ted States :
By the grace and favor of Almighty
God, the people of this nation have been
lead to the closing days of the passing
year, which has been full of blessings of"
peace und the comfort of plenty. Boun-
tiful compensation has come to us fir
the work of our hands and minds in
every department of human industry.
Now, therefore,I, Benjamin Harrison,
President of the United States of Amer-
ica, do hereby appoint Thursday, the
27th day of the present month of No-
vember, to be observed as a day of pray-
er and thanksgiving ; and I do invite
the people upon that day to cease from
their labors, to meet in their accustomed
houses ot worship and to join in render-
ing gratitude and praise to our benefi-
cent Creator for the rich blessings He
has granted to us as a nation, and in.
invoking the continuance of his protec-
tion and grace for the future. com-.
mend to my fellow citizens the privilege
of remewbering the poor, the homeless
and sorrowful. Let us endeavor to mer-
it the promised recompense of charity
and the gracious acceptance of our praise.
In testimony whereof, I have hereun-
toset mv hand and caused the seal of"
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, on
this eighth day of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and ninety, and of the inda-
pendence of the United States the one-
hundred and fifteenth.

World's Fair Boycott.
The German Press Doing Its Best to.
Bring One About.
BerriN, November 2.—For a Jong:
time past the small fry of the German.
press has been engaged in a sort of cam«
paign to dissuade our leading merchants.
un@manufacturers from taking any in-
terest in the projected World's Exposie
tion in Chicago. They have of late en-
forced their arguments by appeals to the.
manufacturers to retaliate by their aba
stention upon the auth rs of the Mec-
Kinley tariff. At first little attention
was paid to the diatribes of this portion
of the press, but now the Politische
Nachnichter, a high-toned organ in
which Herr Miguel, the Minister of
Finance is said to be interested, has
commenced harping upon the same
theme and the whole Governmental
press is backing up the ministerial
organ.
