The Reduced Majority The Defeat of Rirg Candidates Over the State and the Wip ing Out of the Donnelly-Ryan An 'nex of the Quay Machine Causes of Rejoicing. Harrisburg, Nov. The smoke of battle has cleared away and we can now clearly see the results of the conflict. Many contests have been waged with ballots as well as with bullets in which defeat has in reality been a victory. Such was the struggle on the 5th of the present month. The voters of the state who place principle above party were so fully conscious ot beiug in the right that they counted on victory, not being able to comprehend how an honest intelligent people could endorse all the infamy of the last legislature and the flagrant corruption in Phil adelphia. They felt that bribery and perjury were so common and so flagrant as to disgust enough Republicans to drive the machine out of existence; and hence the first news of defeat caused them to feel keenly the humiliation of being defeated in a worthy cause by un worthy men. On a more careful survey of the situation, however, the result is seen to be much more of a victory than a defeat and affords grounds for renewed courage and activity. THE REDUCED MAJORITY. Instead of over 110,000 majority which the machine had two years ago it comes out this year with less than 49,000, all of which and 16. 000 more was secured in Philadel phia and Pittsburg by the intimida tion of voters, repeating, personat ing and all the corrupt devices which the machine has ussd for years when necessary to secure a majority. One more such victory will drive the machine out of busi ness. There isn't much doubt that a full vote this year would have re sulted in an overwhelming defeat for the ring ticket. Usually the majority party gains by a full vote but the reverse would have been true this year. There are tens of thousands of Republicans in' the state who are disgusted at the high handed outrages of their party bosses and who were willing that the party should suffer the penalty i'or its conduct and be defeated at the polls. They thought this re sult would be accomplished by their stayiug at home aud hence they did this instead of going to the polls and voting as their judgment dic tated. THE IDOLATRY OF PARTISANSHIP. The average man has a sort of tfl idolatrous regard for his political t a verdict in favor of honest govern party and even when he knows it ' nient. Scrupulously upright in is as corrupt as Hades he still hesi-! all his immense business trans tates about voting for the other j actions, he detests any man or any party to rebuke the corruption in j party that takes advantage of pub- - PRESIDENT VlCH I'RES'T Cashikii Asst. Cashi:::: K. B. Ti'stin, Louis Gross, and individuals, solic his own. Men above the average in courage, intelligence and inde pendence stand by their convictions of duty and do not permit any sup' erstitious feeliusr for their party to sway them into voting against their common sense lint the average man is too much of a coward, too much of a party slave to rise aoov.' party prejudice and vote as judg nient, dece.icv and conscience die tates when the machine demands that he shall ao otherwise. It was this cowardly element in the Re publican party, aided by those Dem ocrats who need an earthquake to arouse them sufficiently to know that election day is at hand, who defeated the fusion ticket. If the Democrats and the disgusted Re publicans had gone to the polls the machine candidates would have been snowed under by more than 150,000 votes. CANDIDATES AT THEIR HOMES We had all the advantage not only as to the character of the can didates but in the issue involved Nothing could more plainly illus trate the superiority of our :andi dates than the vote they received at their respective homes where, their private lives as well as their public acts are known. Judge Yerkes cirried his county of Bucks by majority of 2,000 while the Repub lican county ticket was elected by majorities of from 500 to 1,200. Mr. Co ray carried his county by 1 4, 00 j though it lias beiii giving a large majority for tire Republican ticket. On the other hand Potter ran 1,700 behind , in his county while Harris was defeated in his own town and county thwgh both are Republican. We had the only side ot tlie issue, too, mat any honest man should take; the side that proposed to rebuke political deviltry of all sorts. On the whole there is much consolation to be found in the result. The majority has been reduced to three-sevenths of what it was two years ago Judge Stevenson, of Philadelphia, the machine Democrat appointed by Stone, was defeated by a man who will maice a model judge. Ma chine judges were defeated also in Cambria, Lackawanna, Lycoming, Northumberland and Lu.erne. The Donnelly-Ryan Quay Demo cratic side show in Philadelphia has also been wiped out, something that will please every honest Dem ocrat in tlie state. The friends of good government have no reasons to feel disheartened but they should pick their flints and get ready for the coutest next vear. The saying that a taint heart never won a fair lady is equally true when applied to political victories. Every friend of good government will enter the next contest with renewed courage, feeling that his cause is just, and though justice may travel with leaden neel sue will nnauy over take the rascals who are disgracing state and city and deal with them as they deserve. CREDIT DUE PARTY LEADERS. Great credit is ' due Chairman Creasy for his untiring industry in looking after the Democratic side o the recent contest. The uncertainty regarding the personnel of the ticket until a Jew weeks' before the election made the time too short to form a thorough organization throughout the state, but the result shows that he made the most of his opportunities. He justly de served the confidence that tte peo ple, regardless of party, have in his integrity. Too much credit cannot be given National Committeeman Col. James M. Guffey for the keen interest which he manifested in the fight for honest government. Without any attempt to control the party either in the choice of its candidates or on the question of fusion he heartily acquiesced in its action and con tributed liberally both of his time and means in the hope of securing ic confidence to steal lroni tne public purse. He can always be depended upon to staud firmly by the advocates for honest govern ment no matter under what banner they may decide to wage their con test. Good health and long liie to Col Guffev. To Ket'p Up The Fight Chairman C.easy's Declaration as to the Duty of the Democracy the Contest Next Year. Chairman Creasy, of the Demo cratic State Committee, last week ssued the following: The contest just closed was a battle with long entrenched foes, defending with desperation the very citadel of their power. They work ed as hard for over three months as if the Governorship and the entire State government were at stake. To meet this determined effort of a perfect organization, we had less than two weeks working time. Our ticket was held up in the courts and every means used to block our way. In Philadelphia it was a shameless carnival of intimidation and fraud. An enormous amount of money was corruptly used to influence the elec tion. With all this the machine faces a plurality in the State reduced fully hfty per cent, from that oi two years ago. 1 lie Democracy ot tlie titate worked loyally. It patriotically yielded half its ticket to former poli tical foes and firmly stood bv the Fusion compact in defence of the honor of the Commonwealth. The vote cast by our own party is a splendid tribute to Democratic patriotism. The Democratic press was an aggressive unit for relorm. A six weeks' campaign of the same character would have carried the State. The conflict that is past must be regarded as the lorerunner of a greater one to co:u The redemp tion of Pennsylvania from odious and blighting misrule is the privil ege and dnty of Democracy. Upon the minority party rests a burden of responsibility that should be courageously and confidently met. The co-operation of our conscien tious Republican fellow citizens may be steadfastly relied upon, 11 we do our part. Let the Democratic or ganization in every county be per- lected and agressive work be the order of the day all along the line. Tne election of a fearless and faithful executive and other State, officers and an Anti-Quay, Anti- Penrose and anti-boodle legislature, next year, is an absolute necessity. Dr. Silas C. Swallow was on Wednesday of last week convicted of falsehood by a committee of the Central Pennsylvania Methodist Conference, and suspended from the ministry of the church. The ex pulsion is the result of a publica tion m the Pennsylvania Methodist, of which Dr. Swallow is editor, of certain damaging articles to Rev. Charles V. Ilartzel, pastor of the Vine Street Methodist Church, who preferred the charges. Dr. Swallow was the Prohibition nominee for State Treasurer in 1897, and the Prohibition and Good Government candidate foi Governor in 1898. He was the presidential nominee of the Christian Advocate party last November and was strongly supported for the presi dential nomination at the National Prohibition Convention at Chicago, in 1900. . . . At a meeting, held in Chicago, Saturday night, the mention of Ad miral Schley's name, in connection with the presidency in 1904, re ceived enthusiastic approval. The speaker, Quin O'Brien, declared the Democratic party was in need of a man who would cairy the party standard to victory and re store the government to the people. Schley, of Maryland, the hero of Santiago, the greatest naval victory every recorded, was such a man, he said. The sentiment elicited prolonged applause.

To the Democratic Voters of Columbia behalf of the Democratic Or ganization as well as all the orga nizations for reform in Pennsylva nia I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the good results in this county of the election held November 5. The returns are most gratifying and show that a strong sentiment prevails in this county among all parties for Reform in the adminis tration of the state affairs. Owing to the small percentage of the vote polled throughout the county the majority for the reform movement was not as great as might have been expected; but for the vote polled the showing made has far exceeded the expectations of all parties. The county has never given a larger vote for tha reformation of State affairs than we had at this election. We therefore trust that the work so well begun will be continued, and that the fight for reform in this state will continue until the people in this Commonwealth will again possess their political freedom.

Our people will learn something about the makeup of rugs if they fol low the rug guessing contest, now on at the Leader Department Store Like everything else, there are two sides to a rug a face and a back. The face is composed of pieces of yarn called "tufts." Set on end, this gives the velvet appearance to such goods The particular rug, to be given to the successful euesser, is a nice bottle green centre,with a highly ornamental border. It is made of mohair, a rich, glossy fibre, and is a copy of the famous Tabriz rugs which sell for from $1500.00 to $2500.00. It will prove a desirable covering for any floor in Bloomsburg.. .
