nt A AN Je CRT Pemarraic Waldgan Terms 2.00 A Year,in Advance Bellefonte, Pa., Nov. 9, 1884. P. GRAY MEEK, - - - Fomor Retrospective. The reeult of Tueeday’s election proves the assertion made in these columes some time ago that congres- sional tardiness in enacting a new tariff measure would bring the defeat of the Democratic party in November. It is needless to go into a lengthy disserta- tion as to probable other causes of the defeat, for with the primary one of such vital movement to the country other troubles for the Democracy simply ang- mented what might not bave been such an overwhelming defeat. In nearly every State in which an election was held the fruits of our ghort- sightedoess were gathered. The defeat is equally as overwhelming for Democ. racy as was the great tidal wave that carried down the Republican structure in the fall of 1892, But we are fortunate that mot so many important offices were in the balance this time as then. In Penosylvania the majority for Gen. Hastings has grown beyond the hopes of the most sanguine of his own party. He has been elected Governor of a mighty state by a mighty major ity. He is the Governor of her people now not the candidate of any party and in the congratulatory words of Col. SiNGERLY we hope his administra: tion will be as successful as his cam- paign has been. But thirteen counties have recorded a Democratic majority and the congressional representation is solidly Republican with the exception of ErpMAN, in the Berks-Lehigh district, who was re-elected by a greatly re- duced majority. The most crushing defeat which Central Pennsylvania Democrats have to bear is that of AaroN WiLLiams, who has lost an almost unanimous district. No particular cause can be ascribed for it. He sim: ply went down as others did in all parts of the country. This proves, how. ever, that people are not beginning to vote for men yet. When they will elect a man polluted as ARNOLD over such a candidate as the Democratic party supported a fine commentary is pre- gented on the honor of our voters. lo the Senatorial district there is much the same display of lack of principle. Tt does not prove as discreditable as the other, however, since two candi: dates contended for Democratic sup: port. The Centre county resuit needs no explanation. The WATCHMAN told its readers last week what the result of complimentary voting would be and we sincerely hope that Democrats here have their eyes opened at last to the dodge the Republicans so successfully worked. Hastings was complimented indeed, but the result shows no return for either CoLrLiNs or WiLriams both of whom had the same elaim on Re- publicans that Hastixeshad ov Dewmo- crams. Our vote fell short 458 while there was a corresponding Republican gain of 797. We do pot pretend to give the few perfidious Democrats, who worked openly against the ticket,credit for a result they do not bave the strength to accomplish, but we are anxious that every Democrat who voted for Hastings should know and realize what a misfortune he has brought on his party. There is nothing left for us to do but be up and at it again. This should be a life time lesson for the Democrats of Centre county. It enables us to see many in their true light and will sound the warning in future contests, never to trust those who have once betrayed us. We have a grander fealty for Democracy than ever and congratulate those who were true to the principles of JerrErsoN, JAcksoN and TILDEN. No storm was ever so destructive whose devastating sweep time cannot efface, and with a united and purer party io the future we will glory in the triumphs of our principles. on rl All Honor to These True Democrats. The desert on which the Democracy of Centre county found iteelf stranded on Wednesday morning was not with- out its oases. For while treachery was playirg its cut throat part in fifty dis- Penn and West Gregg townshipe, from which the returns showed Democratic gaivs. In the former our majority was incressed sixteen votes, while in the latter eleven more than the '92 record were made. To these two cistricts we are indebt- ed for the honor it affords to crow over something. We admire such Democracy. It proves its sterling worth when put to such a crucial test as Tuesday's battle and that it should have come out of the iray not only holding its own, but as victors, is an inspiration that should cast the search light of shame on the traitors whose perfidious ess cansed the defeat of as good men as ever honored any political party with their leadership.

WaenINGTON, Nov. 7.—The presi: dent dia not come in from Woodley to the White House this morning, but stayed all day at his country home en- grossed in preparing his annual mes- sage to congress. Until this is com- pleted he will deny himself to callers, coming into town only for cabioet meetings. Dead Czar’s Characteristics. Some Disclosures by a Close Friend Published in London. LoxpoN, Nov. 2.—A notable obit- nary sketch appeared in the Zimes to- day. The author of the eketch of the dead emperor was on intimate terms of friendship with the czar, and he says that the latter never had the slightest sympathy with the high cul- ture, adding : “Indeed the czar rather gloried in the idea of being of the same rough texture as the great majority of his subjects, and if he knew that he was sometimes disrespectfully called the ‘peasant czar’ he regarded this epithet a compliment. His straight forward, abrupt manner, savoring sometimes of gruffness, and his direct, unadorned method of expression har- monized well with his rough-hewn immobile features and somewhat slug- gish movements. The impression that he generally made in conversation was that of a good, honest, moderately in- telligent, strong-willed man,who might perhaps listen to explanations ; but, who certainly would stand no nonsense from his subordinates or anyone else. “Only those who bave had the priv- ilege of observing him in the unre strained intimacy of his family, es- pecially when romping with his chil- dren or amusing himself with his four footed pets, could fully realize what a simple, kindly nature was concealed bebind & by no means sympathetic exterior.” The writer then alludes to the czar’s strong anti-German feeling from the time he was czarewitz,and says : ‘But, he always had pacific intentione. He feared that Russia might be made the vietim of coup d’etat of the young kaiser, and therefore thought it advisa- ble to make persistent advances to France. But his attitude was strange- ly exaggerated, if not entirely misun- derstood by France. The czar was too an) crats, honest and true, at work in UN-OFFICIAL RETURNS OF CENTRE COUNTY FOR 1894. OVERTAKEN BY THE CALAMITY BUGABO. Democracy Snowed Under. Everything Is Lost. The Democratic Structure Swept from Garret to Cellar.—The People Believed the Calamity Wailer and We Fell.— The Result in All the States. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 7.—The latest returns on the vote for governor ehow a plurality for Hastings, Republican, of 234.855. This may be slightly in- creased by later returns from counties which have not yet completed their count. The Republicans have elected twenty-nine of the thirty congressmen ; nineteen of the twenty-five senators; 176 of the 198 representatives, and ten of the fourteen judges voted for yester- day. THE NEXT SEN ATE. PruinaperpaiaA—The present senate is composed of thirty-three Republ- cans and seventeen Democrats: Of these twenty-four Republicans and one Democrat hold over, nine Republicans and sixteen Democrats retiring. In place of the retiring senators nineteen Republicans and six Demo: crats were elected on Tuesday. They will hold over the next session and participate in the election of a United States senator in 1897. The new sen- ate will be composed of forty-three Republicans and seven Democrats.

Sparkman, Dem., had a walk- over-in the First district, and may run ahead ot"the vote for Mallory, Dem. 10 1892. In the Second district Cooper, Dem., was opposed by Atkinson, Populist. There was no Republican nomination. In 1892 Cooper's vote was 14,668 against Mann, Populist, who had 4,- 641. Cooper will hardly ger 8,000 votes this year. Heis very unpopular personally, but his election is certain. The Vote in New York. NEw Yory.—The following is the total vote of New York city for gover- nor: Hill 126,554; Morton, 123,759 ; Wheeler (S. D.), 8,777; Matthews (Pop) 1,530; Natchett (3 L.), 4,977; Bald- win (Pro.), 834. Complete returns on the vote for al- derman in the Third district show that Charles Smith (Silver Dollar), Tam- many, was defeated by Christian Goetz, | Republican. The vote for lieutenant governor, with twenty nine election districts miss- ling, is: Lockwood (Dem.), 129,427 ; | Saxton (Rep.), 119,600 ; Hawson (Peo.) 1,583; Steer (S. L.), 3,446; Muller (Pro.), 486. A Clean Sweep in Brooklyn. Brook LYN.—The entire Republican city ticket is elected by a plurality rag- ing from 20,000 to 80,000. The vote was against consolidation with New York by about 2,000, and the apportion- ment was lost by about the same vote. Montana Goes Republican. Boise, Ipamo, Nov. 7.—The entire Republican ticket is elected by 2,000 majority or more. The returns indicate that the Legislature will be Republi- can. Mormon votes have been very strongly Republican. Washington Republican by 15,000. SEATTLE, WAsH., Nov. 7—The Re- publican plurality in the State will be about 15,000. The Legislature will be Republican by a 25 on joint ballot, in- suring the election of a Rapublican United States Senator. Wisconsin. MiLwavkee— Wisconsin gives a Re- publican pluralicy of 40,000 on the gtate ticket. Both houses ot the legis- Jature have been carried by the Repub- licans. North Dakota. Fargo— Fuller returns iondicate a Republican majority of from 1,500 to 2000. The legislature is strongly Re- publican. A NAL Tom Johnson Gone. The Indications are That He Has Been De feated. CLevELAND, Nov. 6.—At this hour the indications already point clearly to the defeat of Hon. Tom L. Johnson by some 3,000 to 4,000 plurality. Last | vear this county, Cuyahoga, was 9,180 | Republican for the head of the ticket, and the returns received thus far point | to no Democratic gain. The Twenty- first district, composed of the Eastside wards, in which Johnson is running, will go 5.500 for the bead of the Re- publican ticket unless the figures change materially, and meanwhile Johnson's vote thus far received indi- cates that be will run 1,800 to 2,000 | ahead of his ticket. This will leave | Burton a comfortable margin. | Meyers, the Democratic candidate | for ¢heriff, may possibly be elected ow- ling to the unpopularity of his oppo- | nent, Leeks, with the Jews, Irish and | | Germans, though the probability is that the landslide will let Leeks in by about 1,500 votes, The rest of the Re- publican county ticket is safely elected.
