Ho forgets that Long6trcet nnd Mosby

Tho flood-gates aro opcuiog nnd the

Tho republicans of this district have

In 1880 the Jtepublicans issued n
circular to workingmon which declar
ed ;
Voto for Garfiold and workingmon
will havo Bteady work, better wnges
nnd prosperity.
Tho laboringmoii voted for Garfield
and waited anxiously for "steady work,
better wages and prosperity." But
none came, 'lo-day tho workingmon

aro again asked to support tho Repub-
lican ticket, and Jilaino iitinseit throws
out tho alluring promise, liut ho nev

naces in tho country, tho hundreds of
silent mills and tho consequent misery
end despair among the laboring classics.
Boforo tliu Olilo election Blaino said
llint anything lew than 20,000 major

docn ho liko it now 1
Eloven Democratic and ton Repub
lican congressmen h ono of tlio results
of tho "great victory' claimed by tlio
Republicans in Ohio. Democrats can
stand that soit of defeat.
Tho Doniocrntio majority in West
Virginia is 5,298 over tho fusion of
Republicans and Grccnbackcrs, a gain
of 2,200 over 1880. This is what tho
Republicans call a "reduced majority."
They aro right, only tho reduction is
on tho wrong sldo for them.
Democrats everywhere aro jubilant,
and feci more confident of success than
ever. In this county thero should not
bo a break anywhere In tho ticket, so
that when tho day of rejoicing comes,
our opponents will not havo a singlo
victory to soften their defeat.

In tho Now York Sun of 20th June,
1881, tho first articlo under tho editor
ial head was opened as follows:
Tho following has been extensively

Blaine is Beaten I
Wo believe that Blaine is beaten
Tho popular tide as developed by the
important Uctober elections, is an uu
erring index of an adverse current
against lilame, and an adverse iilaino
tide in tho middle ot Uuto'jer, means a
Blaine Waterloo in November.
Tho Uhio lilame victory is tho vic
tory of death. It makes plain the
truth that on tho largest voto ever poll
ed ; with tho most lavish cxpciiditui'0
ever known in any fatato : with I'eder
al officials called from their public du
ties to work tor the party in nearly ev
ery precinct with lilnine leading the
battlo in exhaustivo personal effort for
a tortnight, and with the Prohibition
voie going neariy sonu ior too iiaine
ticket, the thotoughly Republican
Stato of Ohio fall fullv one half below
tho voluntary majority of October,
1880, and two-thirds below the Gar
field majority.
It is an unerring index that Ohio,
witn ner ovcrwneinimg iiepuoncau
majority for an aooeptablo Presidential
candidate, must be fought over again I
in .November to assure her electoral
voto for Blaine. It assures Indiana to
Cleveland without a desperato strug-
gle, and it is notice that Illinois, Mich-
igan and Wisconsin must be contested
as at least remotely doubtful States. It
is notico to tho leaders of tho Plumed
Knight that his battle henceforth is
against fearful gale and tldo ; that just
when he and his resources aro exhaust
ed, tho Cloveland leaders tako the field
with fresh resources and growing pop
ular sentiment in their favor. We be
lieve, therefore, that Blaino is beaten.
West Virginia was regarded bv
Blaino as a hopeful Stato when he en
tered upon his campaign of desnera
tiou in Ohio. The Republican Green
back lusion lias been perfected there
under tho immediato inspiration of
Blaine nnd tho immediate lend of El-
kins., Tho battlo was opened with the
regular Blaino flourish of trumpets and
tho regulation extravagant claims of
organs. Tho narrow Democratio mar
gin of from 2,000 to 3,000 against the
combined uepublican-Ueeonback. voto
was regarded as within tho reach of
lavish expenditure nnd a humming
campaign. Blaino opened tho canvass
in person for several days, and nothing
was leit undone or unproraisbd or uu
claimed, to break tho picket Stato of
the South. But West Virginia has
largely increased her Democratio voto
largely increased her Democratic, ma
jorily i swept every Congressional dis
met trom tho Jilaino coalition and nl
most rivals Ohio's reduced Republican
majority with her increased Democrat
io majority. A solid South and n bro
ken North now confront tho Republi
cans, and wo believo that Blaino is
beaten,
Wo believo that Blaino is beaton for
ono reason, and for that reason ho just
ly deserves to bo beaten. Ho lias been
heard in Maine, in New York, in Penu

Tho National Democratio Commltteo
hns issued the following address s
To the l'eople of the United States :
Tho result of tho elections in tho
Stntes ot Ohio and West Virginia is
beforo you.
Ulilo choso Kcpiiblican electors in
18G8, 1872, 1870 and 18S0. West Vir-
gmin clioso Republican I'resKlenlinl
electors in 1808 and 1872, and Demo
cratic electors in 1870 and 1880.
Garfield obtained a plurality in Ohio
in 1880 of 31,227 votes. Tho Rcnub-
lican candidato in tho lato election for
Secretary of State was a gallant sol
dier and a reputable man. Tho vote
of tho Republican party in that elec
tion was broken down by tho weight
of Mr. Blaine, a factional seeker after
tho Presidency. The people then elect
ed a Democratio majority of tho Con
gressional delegation of the State. Wo
may confidently expect n majority in
Ohio for Cleveland nnd Hendricks
in November.
West Virginia has bv its splendid
ami decisive m.iiority for a Democratic
Governor at tho October election, nl-
ready declared its- purpose, to givo its
electoral voto for our candidates in .No
vember. Tho Blaine managers cmtilovcd ex
traordinary methods in both States.
I hoy expended not less than .00,-
000 in Ohio, and moro than $100,000
in West Virginia, in their political
work.
They did not uso money only.
Thoy called from every Stato tho
office-holders best fitted to do tho work
at which they wero put. They crowd
ed theso two States with such men.
They employed in political jobs tlio
men engaged in the postal service of
the United States.
They left tho veterans, who had sav
ed the life of tho nation, without tho
pay to which thoy wero entitled, under
the pretense of having nn insulb'cient
clerical force in the Pension Bureau,
and then nscd tho Commissioner of
Pensions and a great number of his
clerks as parts of their political ma
chinery in tho lato elections in Ohio
t , ,
and West Virginia.
. R has been openly charged, without
uuilim, mill, iuu jiivuiuui. ui uiu
ans by tho Commissioner of Petisions
has been delayed by him with tho pu
ul
Mr.
iJlainC.
Theso abuses of political power lmvo
ocen commiueu nnuer uit ovcr-ioomim
y l Mf
Blaino nnd
with his full
sanction. They show tho manner in
which, if ho wero elected, public offi
ces would bo subordinated to his per
sonal Bervice, and the bounty of tho
country bo made the means of advanc
ing his personal interests.
Thoy mako tho marshals ot tho uni
ted States aud their deputies, who
ought to bo the guardians of tho rights
of every citizen of the United States,
a part of their machine force. They
armed them and incited them to vio
lence nnd outrage. Thoy expect to
pay for tlio weapons and services of
theso men out of tho Treasury of tho
United States.
Thoy made Mr. Blaine ono of their
county and ward workers in Ohio aud
West Virginia, and he entered with
zest upon tlio familiar duties. They
devised, with his knowledge, methods
0f compelling workmen to voto as their
employers dictated. They kept him in
aatiy association with the worst elo
raenta 0f their political organization
They niado him their counsellor in ev
ery disreputable plan which they do
vised to promote his success. Ho could
not have been a stranger to their pur
pose to make gains in Cincinnati at
tho election on Tuesday last, by using
armed deputy marshals aud armed nu-
groes to drive voters from tho polls.
The methods ot their campaign m
Ohio and West Virginia and tho share
ot their candidato iu thoso methods
havo added to tho opprobrium already
resting upon his name, and havo as-
sured his defeat at the general elec
tion in November.
Mr. Blaino has been a member of
tho Houso of Representatives, a Sena
tor in Congress nnd n Secretary ot
Stato of tho United States.
Ho has been accused of corruptly us
ing his influence as Speaker nnd as a
member of tho Houso of Representa
lives for his individual profit.
His misconduct has been proved by
Ills own letters. Theso havo confront
ed him wherever ho has gone. Ho lias
attempted no explanation. Tho phra
ses cf thcBO letters aro so well known
that they aro by-words on th" streets
aud jests upon the stage.
A speaker of tho ilouso ot uepro
sentatives a member of that House
who would barter his intlucnco for
money, or property might avail himself
ot tho larger opportunities which tho
oflico aud powers of a president af
ford.
Theso are not words dictated by par
ty rancor, lhey sum up tho judgment
ot that independent press which is, nnd
always vilL remain, the bulwark of good
and constitutional government. They
express tho convictions of tlio leading
Kepublican journals and the belief o
thoso distinguished Republican
statesmen and citizens whoso love
of country has forced them to de
claro that tho nomination of Mr,
lllainu was ono not (it to bo made,
1 hero is reason for our confidenco
that we will achieve a victory in No
vember. Tho army of office-holder, engaged
for n month past iu tho business of
manipulating votes in Ohio and AVest
Virginia, must now disband. P.aoh
man of tho number must go to his own
place. Tlio Commissioner of Pensions
and his buren clocks cannot be eouceti
trated for political uses in the Novem
ber elections. When thoy nre acting

tcr held to tue strictest account by a
justly indignant people.
Tho holies of rownrd and tho prom
ises of indemnity which have been held
out to them will not avail them in tlio
days which aro close at band.
The country is fully aroused. It i
alarmed by tho corrupt iniluencos
surrounding Mr. lllaiuo and will
reject him as President.

Mills aro standing idle. Where wnges
havo not been stopped, thoy arc reduc
ed. Mechanics and laborers go about
Reeking employment in vain, Women
and children uro beginning to want
bread, and yet the farmer can find no
profitable market for his grain.
Theso clrcumstniiees afford conclu
sive proof that a few interest liavo

agers nt tho oxpenso of tho interests ol
tho great body of tho people
Tho crcntion in this favored land of
such extremes of wealth and poverty,
nnd tho uvll days which havo overta
ken nil who aro engaged in labor, aro
not your fault. It has been and is tho
fault of thoso 8cliish men who uso tho
powers which you gave them for their
own advantage, leaving you to faro as
best you could. It is lor you to de
termine whether these ovils shall con-
timio nud increase, or diminish and
end in a general prosperity shared in
by nil alike.
You havo a right to expect that your
patty leaders, to whom you havo given
support nnd accorded honors in past
years, will lay asulo all dinc-rcnees nnd
establish a lasting elnlm upon your
gratitude by making common cause in
your supremo efforts to obtnin tho
blessings of a good government You
will not bo disappointed.
Remember that victory in November
over the unscrupulous men who nro
now endeavoring to Beizu the Presi
dency, can only bo assured by your
ooiuploto' organization. When men arc
of ono mind, and want to impress their
opinion upon tho community in which
they live, they must stand together nnd
work together. The highest and best
organization ot which men nre capable
is that in which every man wants to do
that part of tho common work which
ho can do, and docs it with all his
might. Your organizations ought to
bo of such nature, and if they arc Gov.
Cleveland will bo elected in 'November
by an unparalleled majority.

Why Mark Twain is a Mugwump,

ter.1 I believe no Democratic tinners

and the estimate I hold of Mr. Blniuc
in tho position iu which I stand to-
ay I attribute to tho Republican.

seemed to consider liim unlit to bo

had confidence in tho integrity of my
lends, tho' editors of tho local Kopub'

New York for Cleveland,
The Republicans came out of theso
preliminary skirmishes with the cor
taintv that Blaine is much weaker than
Garfield iu Vermont, Ohio nnd West
Virginia. Outsido of tho largo cities,
where irnuu and bribery nnd lutimula
tiou prevailed, Ohio gave a Democrat
ic majority. Tho magnetic humbug is
exploded.
Now comes the great battlo in isew
York. In this tho October elections
havo greatly helped tho Democraov.
It is as certain as any future event can
well bo that lilaino will not equal (iar-
field's voto in tho State. For these
reasons :
Tlio Kcpubhcaus wero united on
Gai field. They are divided on Blaine.
rho most distinguished men and tlio
strongest organs in tho ltepublican
party opposo Jilaino and support
Cleveland.
Tho Prohibition vote, only 1,517
tho wholo Stato in 1880, will not be
less than 40,000 and is estimated
somo as high as G0.000 this year.
comes almost wholly from tho Repub
lican party.
JNew xork is a Democratic otato.
Its increase in voting population helps
the Democrats more than tho Kepubii
cans, iust as the increase in Ohio
should help tho Republicans more than
the Democrats.
The total voto of tl.o Stato iu 1872
was 828,020 and in 1870 1,015,502, nn
increase of 187,482. In 1880 the in
creaso over 1870 was 89,824. An in
crease of 100,000 this year ought alono
to give tho Democrats a sulhcient ad
vnntngo to moro than overcomo Gar
field's plurality.
Iho .stalwarts aro lukewarm to
wards Blaine. They have neither for
gotten nor forgiven tho vindictive
slaughter of Roscoo Conkling, tho
treachery to tho btalwart organization
and the brutal assassination of Judgo
polger.
tirover Cleveland is JNow lorks
honored Governor, elected by a stilen
did majority of 192,000 votes, endear
ed to tho peoplo by official integrity
and fidelity to thu great trust contidei
to ins hands. lhu prido nnd glory o
New York are interested iu giving tho
United btatcs nn honest, upright l'res
ident from tho kxeuitivo (Juninber o

Hlaino is a disgraced uorruptioiiist
whoso insolence and intolerance havo
irompted him, a Maine politician,
intcriore with tho local attairs ot tho
Empire Stato and seek to control its
political organization.
The cities ot tho mate, isowiork
Brooklyn, Albany and Buffalo, where
tho increased voto is found, are for
Cleveland. Tho honest rural districts
repudiate Ulaiue.
The open Republican revolt against
the ltepublican candidate has grow
largely since tho recent elections. Tlio
apparent certainty of Blaine's defeat
encourages tho Independent move

Is it Free Trade?
IlOiton Herald.
Tho Republican sneakers who touch
on tho tariff say that tho success of
tho Democrats means free trade and
(ho wteceHij of tho Republicans means
ontlnued protection. Thev generally
llustralo by referring to thu Morrison
bill. That bill, which was opnoied bv
lie-third of tho Democrats in the
Homo and by their aid defeated, pro
posed to leave the tnnff at an average
atu ol H tier cent, on dutiable goods
tnd added a very few articles to the
free list. Tho Morrill tariff of 1881
aid an average of duties of 28 per
cent. Hamilton was a protectionist.
md the tariff ho favoied nveraged 8
tor cent. What is tho fact 1 It is
imply that tho Republicans propose
to keep in forco a tariff, not for reve
nue but for protection without regard
o revenue, while tho most advanced
free traders among the Democrats pro-
iose 10 out uio rovenuo down to tho
needs of tlio Government, and leave a
tariff which will bo moro protective
than tho Morrill tariff of 1881.
Address by Chairman Hensel-
HINGING APPEAL TO THE IIEMOCKATS
OP PENNSYLVANIA TO PUSH POKWARI).
To the Democratic and Jndeiwident
Voters of Pennsylvania :
As tho returns from tho October
elections becomo more complete tho
magnitude of tho victory achieved by
tho friends of good government is np-
arent. ihe nisoomtituro ot our oppo
nents is manifest.
In Ohio the Republican majority is
ut down to one-half that of the corres
ponding election of 1880 and the Dem
ocrats have elected more than half
tlio Congressional delegation. In West
irginia, where Blaine's henchmen had
boasted that a Republican victory was
'a moro matter of linance,'-' tho Demo
crats havo won nn unprecedented ma
jority over a lu-iion ot all opposition,
Hie elections thus tar hold show lte
publican losses and Democratio gains
in Alabama, .Arkansas, Vermont, Geor
gia, West Virginia and Ohio. In
Maine alone, by tho greatest effort and
through tho debauchery of the ballot-
box, has Jilaino been ablo to bring any
comfort lo his party.
Whatever the Kepubhcaus have se
emed for their caudidat.i lias been only
by tho most desperato contest his party
ever made, bv the degradation ot his
own candidacy, the prostitution of the
civil service nnd tho expenditure of
vast sunn ot money all concentrated
by turns on a single State.
liencclorth the enemies of adminis
trative reform must confront a differ
ent situation. Tho battlo lines aro now
formed on a field that stretches across
the entire country. An harmonious
and aggicssivo organization in New
York, Indiana, New Jersey and Con
necticnt assures tho electoral votes of
these States for Cleveland and Hen
dncks aud secures their election be
yond doubt. In California, Nevada,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and Mas
sachusetts our friends, make hopeful
battle.
It remains for tlio Democracy of
Pennsylvania and all the friends of
better public methods lo strengthen
tho causo by ceaseless ellorls iu our
own Stale. From this timo until elec
tion day thu Democrats and their al
lies iu Pennsylvania must be vigilant
and untinng to elect tho electoral,
Congressional, Legislative and local
tickets which represent tho cause of
good government. Its friends have
every incentivo to push forward to tho
victory which certainly awaits them
on the -1th of November. Let thero
bo no laggards in thu ranks. Forward,
along tho lino ! W. U. Hensel,

Wheeling, October 21,
An exciting contest is taking place
in tho Third district over returns from
tho recent election. E. W. Wilson,
tho Governor-elect, is uow in Fayette
county nud, with District Attorney
'It. Clair, is engaged in bunting down
the fraud, which is apparent on its
face. Fayctto county returned 2,700
lltheablo in August for taxation nnd
jut unit 3,100 voles last week. Upon
investigation It was found that several
oar-loads of nt-grocs had been brought
In by thu Chesapeake and Ohio I toad
nnd actually voted by the oar load ut
several places, and it transpires thnt
thu Commissioners of Election at those
precinotB wero not sworn in until after
the Polls closed.
There nro a gieat many negioes at
work In tho mines between Coal Val
ley and Quinnemont, most of whom
were brought there by Eastern Repub
lican contractors to supplant white in
bor al reduced rates, ami these strange
negroes wero difficult to recognize.
Two car loads of them were taken
East after dark on election night.
A dispatch from tlio investigators
says that tho fraud is the boldest ever
practiced in this Stato and will result
in throwing out that precinct. This is
not in tlio interest ot any candidate, as
tho entire Doniocrntio ticket is elected,
nud it has created great oxcitemeut iu
tho Coal Valley.
Additiohal official returns received
to-day verify earlier figures and elect
tho ticket by an average majority of
0,000. WilKon will run slightly below
this, and Duffy, for .Auditor, consider
nbly nbove.

Ai.iiany, October 20.
Albany has had a genuiuo sensation
to-day. Governor Cleveland was at
tacked on the street this morning by a
man named Samuel Boone of Elmira.
The Governor was not injured, but tho
assault has been tho tnlk of tho town.
Boone, whoso wifo has not recovered
imagined that certain bruises on her
arms had been caused by Governor
Cleveland and to day liu Btimmoncd up
cournge lo tako revenge. Governor
Cleveland left tho Executive Mansion
ibout 9:30 aud started for tho Capitol.
When lie reached tho Medical College,
on Eaglo Street, Boono rushed upon
hira and shouting, 'ion havo killed my
wife," struck the Governor several
blows. Tho Governor was unprepared
for tho attack, but hu struck out right
and left aud defended himself. Then
Dr. George II. Houghton appeared on
the scene. Iloonc darted over to the
street, picked up n cobblestone and was
about to hurl it nt tlio Governor when
Dr. Houghton grabbed his arm.
After the first blow Cleveland stag-
gored up against a tree and then re
sumed his walk. Boone was handed
over to tin- police nnd locked up. The
Governor made light of iho assamt.
He said that hu could havo handled
three such fellows as the one who n-t-saulted
him and he entered his ofliee
iu a veiy unconcerned manner. Wheu
the report ol thu assault gained cm
reiioyit was apprehended that a murdor
om attack hail been made. Dining the
morning the Governar received many
callers, who congratulated him on his
narrow escape from an occurrence which

It has come to the knowledge of The
Toil that tho Democratic State Com
mittee is without funds to prosecntu its
legitimate operations, and tho financial
aid which it had every right to oxpect
is not extended to it.
Under theso circumstances The
Post proposes to take its 25,000 sub
scribers and 100.000 renders into its
confidence and to mako an appeal not
more to their generosity than to tneir
sense of justice.
It has started and proposes to keeii
up a dollar subscription fund for tho
benefit of the Democratio Slate Com
mitteo. It asks a dollar no moro, no
loss from every ono who reads this
appcat for tho purposes stated ; and it
will not be satisfied until 5,000 have
been raised bv this means.
It will print weekly thu names of all
who respond, and it will turn over the
daily receipts from this Bourco to the
committee, to defray its bills for pos
tage, printing nnd other necessary ex
penses of the campaign.
Remittances may be sent by money
order, postal note, check, postage
stamps or in currency.
Blanks for subscriptions will bo fur
nished upon application to all who may
desire to enlist others in tho enterprise.
Those whb are willing to subscribe
sums oxceeding one dollar may do ho
in the names ot trienuds or members
of their family. Tho published lists
will be a roll of honor.

Gloves arc peculiar. Thero
is no sort of goods in which
it is easier to go astray ; none
in which the utmost rigor in
adherence to standards is
more necessary. There arc
good gloves lor economical
people, good gloves for ex
travagant people, good gloves
for people between, and a
great variety for them all.,
There are also many sorts of
good-looking gloves for all
sorts of people. The good
of all sorts we keep. The
merely good-looking we do'
not keep. We draw the line
sharply between the good
and the not good. But there
are degrees of goodness ; and
we keep several.
To be short : Good-looking
gloves arc of all degrees
of goodness ; and we sharply
rufe out those below a fair,
standard of honesty. Have
you noticed that we almost
never advertise gloves below
value? The reason is We
can't get honest gloves below
value, except by rare ac
cident. Nobody can.
Let us now print once for
all our standing news about
gloves ; for it doesn't change
much. We have about every
thing that belongs to an hon
est trade in fall and winter
gloves. Our prices are fair.
They often seem high to peo
ple who believe advertise
ments and shop tales without
discrimination. They are not
high. They cannot be low.
What sort of guarantee of
gloves ? Just the same as. of
almost everything else that
we sell.
I3ut that isn't enough.
Gloves are peculiar. People
do not often become dissatis
fied with the worst of them
till they have injured them.
The guarantee, Bring back
the gloves uninjured and get
your money back, isn't
enough. It doesn't secure
against the worst abuse in the
trade, viz., the sellingof gloves
that are only good-looking foi
gofid.
But a guarantee going fur
ther and protecting the buy
cragainst defects thatdevelop
only by wear is liable to se
rious abuse. Some people,
would strain it beyond all rea
son. It isn't as if we had only
fair and reasonable people to
deal with. There are those
who would wear a new pair
of gloves till a little soiled,
and then tear them on pur
pose to get a new pair for
nothing. Our guarantee has
got to be such as to protect
us against these one-sided
people.
Just as we said the othei
day of shoes, we do not agree
to do more than is reasonably
safe and just. We have to
remember that half the shoes
and gloves are worn by peo
ple who show very little wit
in the choice they make of
them or in the use they put
them to. We are not going
to bear the cost of their ignor
ance or folly.
What do we do, when the
buyer complains and the
glovt'sare spoiled? Remem
ber the answer. We straiglit
way consider which of sthe
hire, maker, merchant, or
spui.'cr, ought to bear the loss;
and we ;. where it belongs,
if we can.
We began about glove:,.
Really the facts about dealing
in gloves and shoes are so
alike with respect to what we
keep, how we sell, and what
we do in case of dissatisfaction
after injury is done, that wt:
might have put gloves and
shoes together all through.
., Thereis more in this subject
than how we gather and sell
our gloves and shoes. They
are difficult goods to guar
antee satisfaction with. How
we treat them is a clear indi
cation of how we administer
our guarantee all over the
stqre. What if we sneaked
out of every doubtful obliga
tion ? What if we interpreted
every underslanding in the
most favorable light to our
selves? What if, on the other
hand, beyond our absolute
guarantee of .ilmost every
thing we sell, we study to find
how many of ihe losses incurred
by people who trust us we can
properly shield them froin,ho;
many we can properly laL
upon ourselves,or put upon out
source of supply? Let out
dealing in gloves and shoei ,
then, stand for our gene.iv.1
policy in trade.
If we try to administer so
generous a policy in go.l
faith, are we not entitled to -i
degree of indulgence for in
evitable shortcomings be
yond what is usual in trade ?
