Demorralic Water Terms, $2.00 a Year, in Advance. Bellefonte, Pa., Nov. il, 1898. P. GRAY MEEK, EbpiTor. Cause for Rejoicing at Home. While Democrats in other parts of the State and throughout the country may have cause to regret the result of Tuesday’s election in their several localities, those of Centre county, and of the counties joined with us in congressional and senatorial districts, have reason to rejoice. They have not only reduced Republican major- ities on the state ticket, but have changed them in every county except one, to sub- stantial Democratic majorities. For the last four years every county in both con- gressional and senatorial districts have given their support to the Republican nominees. On Tuesday last the aggregate majority for the Democratic state ticket in the congressional district was 3,591 and in the senatorial district 1,587. In this coun- ty, that for three yeas past has been going almost solidly Republican the Democratic majority on the state ticket is 756, and every candidate upon tke ticket is elected by majorities ranging from 432 up to 927. While the Democratic victory in this county is something to be proud of there were conditions in the contest that had a tendency to augment our party vote. Mak- ing due allowance for such helpful in- fluences there is, nevertheless, a decisive result over which every Democrat has rea- son to rejoice. Especially are the congratu- lations of the people owing to county chair- man HuGH S. TAYLOR, and his corps of assistants, whose efficient management of the campaign has reaped such splendid fruit. He was active and aggressive in every precinct and with the co-operation of his local chairmen and their district com- mitteemen the work was kept so well in hand that no friction and the best results followed. The result has been decisive enough to show that old Centre is Democratic to the core. The few who had drifted away from their moorings of years, drawn by the glittering promises of the protectionist haranguers, needed but to see the smoke- less stacks of our iron industries, the stop- ped wheels of the Scotia mine cars and to feel the pinch of want to turn them back to the party that had always been and al- ways will be their true friends. The campaign in the county was clean and creditable with the exception of the Gazelte’s last card attempts to besmirch the fair politics that had been conducted up to the time of its appearance. But the rare good sense of the people of Centre county was not to be insulted by the vicious screeds of a newspaper proprietor, who seems to know not the province of honor in contests of any sort. : Chairman TAYLOR has our congratula- tions. Every one of the men who worked so diligently at his headquarters, the county committeemen and all the voters who helped to bring about the splendid result are equally to be congratulated. Centre county is Democratic once more. Let us hope that she may never swerve from such a beneficial course. The Fruits of an Asiatic Landgrab. Among the manly American minds that have arrayed themselves against what CARL SCHURZ calls ‘‘the manifest destiny swin- dle,” is Mr. SAMUEL GOMPERS, president of the American federation of labor, who does not agree with McKINLEY’S Philip- pine landgrab-as being interwoven with the ‘‘destiny of the nation,”” but portrays in strong and truthful words what would be the result of Philippine annexation to the American people, and particularly to American workingmen. The possession of those Asiatic islands would bring us in the midst of the conflict which has already begun among European nations for the division aud possession of those Eastern countries, and after we shall have placed ourselves in such a position he most truthfully declares that ‘‘we shall have to follow the monarchical policy of large standing armies with immense na- vies’’; ‘‘we shall not only have to bear the heavy burdens of debt and taxation ex- ceeding that of other nations, but we will come to that point against which the gen- ius of our institutions revolts—compulsory military duty.” This is what an Asiatic landgrab would bring to the country at large, but how it would particularly affect the interest of the workingmen by an incursion of the lowest order of pauper labor, is forcibly presented by Mr. GOMPERS, as follows : ‘“If the Philippines are annexed, what is to prevent the Chinese, the Negritos and the Malays from coming to our country? How can we prevent the Chinese coolies from going to the Philippines, and from their swarming into the United States and engulfing our people and our civilization ? If these new islands are to become ours, it will be either under the form of territories or States. Can we hope to close the flood- gates of immigration from the hordes of Chinese and the semi-savage races coming from what will then be part of our own country ?. Certainly, if we are to retain the principles of law enunciated from the foundation of our government, no legisla- tion of such a character can be expected.” ——When Judge LOVE starts in to man- age the next county campaign he will probably know better how to edit his Re- publican organ. As an editor he has not proven a bhloomin’ success, if election re- sults are to be considered. THE OFFICIAL RETURNS OF CENTRE COUNTY FOR 1898. I ; Lieut. | Sec. In.| | || Dist Presid’t, 96.

The elections on Tuesday covered every State in the Union except Maine, Vermont and Arkansas. The results are mixed and neither party can claim a decided victory, only in spots. The Republicans have gained in United States Senators and the Democrats have gained in Congressmen. Beginning with New England, Massa- chusetts elects WOLCOTT Governor by a majority of 65,000 and the Democrats elect three of the thirteen Congressmen, a Demo- cratic gain of two. New Hampshire goes Republican by a greatly reduced majority and elects both members of Congress, as usual. Connecticut elects a Republican Gov- ernor by from 10,000 to 15,000 majority, a reduction of 5,000, and succeeds in return- ing its. fonr Republican members of Con- gress. Rhode Island‘ goes Republican as usual and re-elects both its representatives to Congress. New York elects ROOSEVELT by less than 18,000 majority or 125,000 less than that given its present governor and secures for the Republicans a small majority on joint ballot in the House and Senate, which will give them the power to elect a United States Senator in the place of the pres- ent Democratic Senator, MURPHY. The Democrats gain nine State Senators, a large number of Representatives of the house and six Congressmen, giving them 19, a ma- jority of the next delegation in Congress. New Jersey elects VOORHEES Republican Governor by a majority of 5,000 or less, and hold both branches of the Legislature although by a greatly reduced majority. The Democrats elect two of the eight mem- bers of Congress, leaving the delegation the same as at present. The only change in the State being in: the lessening of the Re- publican majority which came down from 88,000 in 1896 to less than 5,000 in 1898. Delaware, although there was no State ticket in the field, wept Republican, that | party securing a majority of both branches ! of the state Legislature, which will insure the election of a Republican United States Senator. The Republicans also elected the ! only Representative the little State has in | ‘Congress. In Maryland the Democrats show large | gains in their vote on district offices. There was no state ticket, and the gain of two Congressmen certain with the probability of making that gain four, two others being exceedingly close, shows the drift of political sentiment in that State to be towards the Democrats. For the first time in six years Baltimore shows a Demo- cratic majority. In Virginia the Democrats make a clean sweep of everything, Congress, Legisla- ture, Senate and county officials. In this State they make a gain of three Congress- men and send a solid delegation of Demo- cratic Representatives to Washington, which it has not done since the war. North Carolina, which was considered de- batable ground, went Democratic by a de- cided majority and elected all the Demo- cratic state officers voted for, and six of the nine Congressmen, a Democratic gain . of three. The Populists elected one and the Republicans two. From West Virginia the returns are slow and at this writing both parties claim the State, the Republicans admitting the gain of one Democratic Congressman. South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Flori- da, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas are all overwhelmingly Democratic. Not a single Republican Congressman be- ing elected from either of these States and the Democratic majorities, on their state tickets, being larger than ever in all of them. : a majority larger than he had the last time i be Republican, and a Republican U. S. Kentucky, that has been going astray, po- litically, for years, hasseen the error of her ways and joined in the Democratic march again. In addition to electing the Demo- cratic state, and county tickets generally, it has elected ten of the eleven members of Congress. making a Democratic gain of three. Tennessee’s Demociatic majority is larger than usual for the entire state ticket, but the Republicans were able to hold the two congressional districts that has voted for them these many years. Ohio is the only State that shows a de- cided Republican victory, and the power of that party to maintain its majority for minor state officials. It has gone Republi- can by 60,000, although in one of its con- gressional districts the majority is reduced from 2,250 to 250. Its next congressional delegation will stand “as does the present” one, six Democrats and fifteen Republicans. Indiana show, a Democratic gain of one Congressman. Although the Republicans claim the State by a small majority, it will take the official returns to decide which party has elected its state officials. Although not a positive victory, there is nothing in the result of that State for the Republicans to crow over. Illinois gives a Republican majority of less than 20,000, as against a majority of 141,000 two years ago. The Democrats carry the House aud the Republicans get the Senate. Cook county, in which Chica- go is located, elects the entire Republican ticket by less than 4,000 as against 69,000 given McKINLEY. In Congressmen the Democrats make a gain of three. Missouri increases her Democratic vote over that cast for BRYAN and elects the entire Democratic state ticket. St. Louis goes Republican as it usually does. Both Senate and House is Democratic, and a gain of two Democratic Congressmen is made. In place of ‘‘Silver’’” DICK BLAND being defeated, as reported, heis elected by he ran. Iowa elects its Republican Governor hy a reduced majority, in fact by a vote that shows that State to be debatable ground. Its Senate and Legislature will both be Republican, but the Democrats have made great inroads in a number of counties, car- rying some that have never before shown a Democratic majority. The congressional delegation will stand as. does the present one, solidly Republican, although every one was elected by reduced majorities. Michigan,remaining Republican, re- elect- ing PINGREE Governor, by a majority of about 5,000 against a majority of over 60,- 000 in 1896. Both Senate and House will Senator will be elected. The delegation in the next Congress will be solidly Republi- can,—a gain for that party of one member. Minnesota defeats the Republican candi- date for Governor by a decided majority electing JOHN LIND the Democratic-Fusion nominee. The Democrats also carried the city of Minneapolis by over 5,000 majority, being the first time in the history of that city that it has elected a Democrat. The Democrats also gain one member of Con- gress, and many members of the state Leg- islature and Senate. This State shows a more decided Democratic victory than any State west of the Mississippi, except Mon- tana and Colorado. In Kansas, Colorado, Montana and Utah, the returns show that the Democrats were successful, and all these States, that usual- ly give substantial Republican majorities, have changed to Democratic Common- wealths, or at least can no longer be count- ed certain for the Republicans. The majority against the Republicans in Colo: less but large enough to be claimed as de- cided Democratic victories. In Nebraska, where the Republicans are claiming a victory, the Fusionists have won by anywhere from 2,000 to 6,000. The whole Fusion ticket is elected, and the Legislature will be Fusion, by a small majority, insuring the re-election of the present United States Senator. California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Idaho, show up for the Republicans about as usual. Arnold Defeated by 3,310. That the people of this congressional district have had enough of Congressman ARNOLD is shown by the overwhelming majority given to J. K. P, HALL on Tues- day. Last week’s WATCHMAN predicted his election by 3,300, a prediction that was laughed at as wild, but, the result shows how nearly the guess was right. We congratulate the district on choosing so reputable and worthy a representative, as well as Mr. HALL on the overwhelming vote he received. The following is the official vote by counties. Arnorp, R.

The complete vote of the State with four counties missing give Stone, Republican, 455,782; Jenks, Democrat, 347,782; Swallow, Prohibition and Honest Govern- ment, 124,437; a plurality of Stone of 108,000, which will be increased to about 111,000 by the complete returns. The to- tal vote in the State will approximate 950.000. The delegation from Pennsylvania in the next Congress will comprise 20 Repub- licans and 10 Democrats, a Democratic gain of 7. The present delegation is com- posed of 27 Republicans and 3 Democrats. The districts gained by the Democrats are the Eighth, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Seven- teenth, Twenty-sixth Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth. The successful Democrats in these districts are respectively : Laird H. Barber, Stanley W. Davenport, James ton, Joseph C. Sibley and James K. P. ‘Hall. . In each of these districts except the Seventeenth the present Republican rep- resentative was a candidate for re-election. They are in the order named : Wm. S. Kirkpatrick, Morgan B. Williams, Chas. N. Biumm, Charles W. Stone and William C. Arnold. The Seventeenth district is now represented by Monroe H. Kulp. The defeated candidate in this district is Wm. H. Woodin. Wm. McAleer, who was re-elected from the Third district, is a sin- gle standard Democrat, and the Republi- cans made no nomination against him. The last State Senate was composed of 44 Republicans and 6 Democrats. Of these 24 Republicans and 1 Democrat hold over, and elections were held in the even num- bered districts to fill the vacancies caused by the retirement of the other 20 Republi- cans and 5 Democrats. The elections re- sulted as follows : Second district, G. W. Holzworth, Rep. ; Fourth district, J. Bayard Henry, Rep. ; Sixth district, John M. Scott, Rep ; rado is over 50,000.

The Spanish Cruiser Goes Down During a Heavy Gale. CHARLESTOWN, S. C., November 6.— The ocean tug Merritt put into Charles- town Saturday morning for supplies. She reported the loss during a furious gale on November 1st of the cruiser Maria Teresa, raised by naval constructor Hobson in San- tiago harbor recently. The former Spanish cruiser left Caiman- era, Cuba, on the morning of October 30th, in tow for New York. She had already passed Cape Maisi and started northeast around the Bahamas. A furious storm, warning of which had already been sent out, overtook her, and in her condition she was unable to weather the gale. The storm opened rents in her hull which had been patched to enable her to make the journey, and she began to fill rapidly. © The Merritt took off Captain Harris and the crew from the sinking ship, and she soon went down. The Merritt brought the captain and 136 men, who pro- ceeded north by rail. No lives were lost. When the Merritt arrived here from quarantine the survivors of the Maria Ter- esa came ashore. They lost all clothing and personal effects and are supplied scant- ily. The crew left for Norfolk. : Kaiser in Bad Humor. Much Displeased Over Some Incidents of His Orien- tal Trip. is BEIROUT, Syria, Nov. 8. —Emperor Wil- liam is much displeased over several jar- ring incidents ‘of his trip to Jerusalem. The reply of the vatican to his notification of rights acquired at Mt. Zion is consider- ed ‘extremely curt, while on all important occasions the French consul general attend- ed in order to assert France’s guardianship of holy places. Moreover it appears that the Sultan practically took forceful posses- sion of the land he presented to Emperor William, the owner objecting to sell ec- clesiastical property. The authorities here tried to clear the harbor of all shipping yesterday in view of the arrival of the German majesties, but the steamers of the Messagries Martimos, the French steamship company, refused to leave. ——1If you want fine work done of every Twenty-third District — William Graham, R.
