McLean will be obliged to tap another barrel before Ohio responds to his am bition. If Aguinaldo is wise he will wait for complete returns before organizing a j jollification meeting. Perhaps the critics of Senator Hanna will not be willing to admit that the 'Senator is still a factor in Ohio politics. If wo are not mistaken the elections have decided one thing and that is, that the Golden Rule will have to look out for itself in Ohio in the future. Aguinaldo must think again. His statement that the Democrais would win in Tuesday's election evidences his mental inaccuracy. Pennsylvania is all right. Catch the prosperous wage earners of this com monwealth voting away their jobs! Well, we guess not. Admiral Dewey has not yet shown a willingness to fall a prey to scheming politicians who think his name and fame would carry them into office. Perhaps Democratic Chairman Jones can explain away the results of the election in the same self satisfied way that he treated the subject of Republi can prosperity. Mr. Bryan owes it to himself, and he owes it to the country to take a brief nap before starting on his 1900 cam paign. The country needs a rest very badly at present. ♦...» As the time approaches for the as sembling of Congress, Mr. Roberts, of Utah, ponders more and more on the problem whether or not marriage is a failure. Now that our industrial ills have been cured by the Republican application of protection and honest finance, the jjeople are not willing to be again plac ed on the operating table forjthe benefit of Democratic political surgeons. Mr. McLean ie in reality a resident of Washington. By what standard of logic he convinced himself that he was available as a nominee for Governor of Ohio does not appear, and it makes email difference anyway. Mrs. Lease who was so prominent many years ago in Populistic circles and has since taken up spiritualism, has no reason to wish to get back into politics after an examination of the election returns. How does Mr. Bryan stand on the ruling proposition in Democratic south ern states that their government shall be controlled by white men, even if in a minority? A good many of the gov erned are not asked to give their con sent to their government. In what purported to be a general out burst of patriotism, Senator Mason of Illinois threatened to resign unless the flag was hauled down in the Philip pines, but it now turns out that there is a local deal in Illinois politics back of at, by which Mr. Mason would get a place with double his present salary. The copperheads who denounced Lincoln and the Union army, always did it in the name of the Gospel Of Peace, just as their successors now de nounce the President, and through the encouragement thus afforded they have stained their souls with the blood of our soldiers and the deluded Filipinos. Some people are declaring that "the oest thought" of New England is against the Philippine policy ot the President. But it must not be forgot ten that this was equally true of the Louisiana purchase, the Oregon com promise, the Florida purchase, the treaty of peace with Mexico, and the Alaska purchase. V President Lincoln hated bloodshed and did everything possible to avoid war, but he had sworn to protect the property of the United States and he kept his oath. President McKinley has done the same, and were Mr. Bryan now President he could do no less with out laying himself liable to i m peach .ment. • # The eyes of the Administration are on the immensely profitable Chinese grade, and a policy is being outlined -which will open up this trade to the great commercial points on the Atlantic coast as well as the Pacific. The new policy, which will mean much for the material welfare of the whole country, . s being in practice. The Hugwump Outlook. We read with some interest ac counts in the Mugwump news- | papers oi' Philadelphia of a meeting ; of those engaged in the anti-Re poblican movement. The meeting i must have token on a funeral aspect. We do not discover that any new men of prominence have joined the movement. Among those present were ex-Governor Hastings, whose county, Centre, has been given to the Democrats; the Attorney-General of his ad ministration, Mr. McCormick, whose county of Lycoming has also gone Democratic; David Martin, of Philadelphia, whose ward, the Nineteenth, cut the Republican majority in half. No mention is made of his friend Hackett, who holds a city office, and who is also boss of a ward, but as his ward cut the Republican ticket heavily it is presumed that he is still in sym pathy with Martin, Hastings and McCormick. John l)alzell was present—John Dalzell who could not be nominated for Congress in Allegany county upon his own strength. Calvin Wells, of the same county, who runs a news paper in Philadelphia, was there, and so was ex-Senator Kaufman, who lias been repudiated by the voters of Lancaster county. Of course such a gathering would not be complete without E. A. Van Valkenberg, he of unsavory mem ory. We are told that these gentle men discussed the situation, and the fact that they decided to con tinue the insurgent movement and togo to work at once is proof that they consider early work necessary if they are to make any progress whatever. The election figures are not to their liking. Their one great bug-a-boo is Quay. These men fused with the Democrats wherever that was possible in 1898 and carried a few legislative dis covered that their fusion counties in the election of last Tuesday have gone back on them. They have lost Blair and Chester; they have lost, in fact, in every section where they considered themselves strong. They have run up against the peo ple and the people have simply slaughtered them. They propose now to defeat Quay l'or re-election. They thought they were going to have an easy time. They picked out Harnett as the representative of Quay. They made their campaign 011 Quay. They refused to discuss national issues. They said that Harnett was Quay's man and that if Harnett could only be defeated now Quay would he defeated hands down next year. Barnet was elected by j a majority of 10(5,000. There was : no objection on the part of the ! Mugwumps to .J. Hay Brown for j the Supreme Court. They all voted for Brown and they cut Harnett. The result was that Harnett ran behind Brown by about 2"»,00() votes in the whole State, including Philadelphia, where Burnett was cut 10,000. These figures do not mean that 25,000 Republicans voted for Brown and refused to vote for Barnett, for 12,500 votes changed from the Republican column to the Demo cratic would mean a difference of 25.000 in the total. These figures are not altogether reliable for the reason that some Democrats who could not stand the disreputable attack made upon Barnett's bravery cut Creasy and voted for Barnett, but, 011 the other hand, there were numerous Democrats allied with the Gordon wing of the Democratic party— Democrats who are willing to fuse with Mugwumps anywhere—who voted for Brown while also voting for Creasy in order to make the difference between Brown's maj ority and Harnett's as great as possible. So the differ anee between Brown and Barnett is not the true measure of the Mugwump vote in Pennsylvania. It is too large. The revolt against Barnett is too small to bother with for an instant. The great majority for Barnett shows that the Republicans as a whole have taken little stock in the Democratic and insurgent onslaught and that they are siek and tired of the attack upon the State Treasury. If the Mugwumps, who have made their campaign wholly upon Quay, have not been able to make any impression this year, what possible impression can they make next year when national issues alone will be discussed? They will go into the Legislative districts, but what will that avail them, for they have already been snowed under in the Legislative districts? The Mugwump movement may ' continue, but there is 110 hope for lit whatever. It has shown that it I is without serious support any ! where. It is to-day utterly incap ' able of electing, even with Demo cratic support, half a dozen mem bers to the next Legislature. — I Philadelphia Inquirer. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1899. SPICY PARAGRAPHS OF NEWSY WASHINGTON INCIDENTS. Official Comments on the Recent Elections—Expansion Policy En dorsed Virginia to be in Line for ricKinley in 1900 -General Capitol Talk. President McKinley takes time from the work of preparing his message to Congress, now well under way, to ex change congratulations on the strong endorsement of expansion given by the voters in every state in which the policy of the administration has been made the issue, with Republican Sena tors and Representatives who have called on him since the elections. Among his more recent callers was Senator Kyle of South Dakota, who said of the campaign in his state:"The issue was the support of the adminis tration and expansion, and the result was an emphatic endorsement of the administration and its policy in the Philippines." Representative Gros venor, of Ohio, another caller, said: "It is my honest opinion that even before Congress meets, the insurrection in the Philippines will be ended, and the situation be such as to allow the President to turn the matter over to Congress for legislation. It looks to mo as though it would not be many days before our army has captured Aguinaldo and ended his rebellion. With the downfall of Aguinaldo will end all this talk of so-called imperial istic movement. The elections have already shown the weakness of the anti-expansion policy, and I do not think the Democrats will dare goto their national convention, and declare against expansion in the face of this year's elections. By that time anti expansion will be so dead that even the Democrats will not try to revive it." Senator McCumber, of North Dakota, said: "Expansion in North Dakota doesn't mean imperialism and a big standing army. It means de velopment of trade. We want, of course, an army of sufficient strength for an important nation. Representa tive Burham, of Cal., said: "The President and his policy has the ap proval of the majority of the people, and the result of the elections make it certain, if it was not so before, that McKinley and Bryan will run against each other again. McKinley will defeat him easily." "Mrs. Elizabeth I. Joy, wife of Rep resentative Joy, of Missouri, is actively engaged in working up sentiment against allowing Roberts, the polyga mist Representative-elect from Utah, to retain his membership of the House. She has prepared a petition, a copy of which she has sent to the wife of every member of the House of the Fifty-sixth Congress, requesting that it be signed and returned to her. This petition reads as follows: "We, the wives of the members-elect of the incoming Congress, hereby urgo our respective husbands in their official capacity, and the Fifty-sixth Congress as an organized body, to expel from membership therein Brigham 11. Roberts, of Utah. The spirit of our civilization and of our laws, as well as tho dignity of Ameri can woman and the purity of the American home, demand that lie nor any such as he, shall ever take part in the councils of the law makers of our beloved country." Dr. Wise, of the Second District of Virginia, who was seated in the last House after a contest, will contest the same seat against the same opponent, in the next House. Speaking of the fraud practiced in his district, in order to make an apparent Democratic majority where everybody knows the majority will be overwhelmingly Re publican, Dr. Wise said: "This out rage on tho purity of the ballot can not be indefinitely continued. There are signs of a revulsion of feeling among Democrats of the better class, who are tired of seeing this rascally work done year after year. And when election day in 1900 comes around, hundreds of Virginia Democrats will cast their votes for Wm. McKinley, for they are anxious to continue their present prosperity, which they fear would be changed to adversity if their party should get in power." Senator Foralcer said of the result [ in Ohio, which he played so important : part in bringing about, and of the general result: "It was a victory for the administration, and will greatly strengthen President McKinley, and in that way have a decided effect on Congress, and the whole country Prosperity will continue and nobody will think of any other Republican than McKinley as our candidate for the Presidency, in 1900. Changes in the political situation will come, no doubt, within the next twelve months, but the probabilities are that they will strengthen the Republican party. The most likely changes will be the sup pression of tho insurrection in the Philippines, the enactment of the necessary legislation to reform and j improve our monetary system, to re j store our merchant marine, build an ! Oceanic canal across the Isthmus, etc. ! These are all great measures, to which the American people are already com ! mitted, and the Democratic party can ; not well afford to oppose them. Yet, ; except in the opposition to such meas- S ures the Democrats will be without any important i:nuo. The Democrati party seems to be bottled up, like Butler was at Bermuda Hundreds." The admission by two prominent Democratic Senators —G'affery, of Lou isiana, and Morgan, of Alabama -that anti-expansion was killed and the re election of President McKinley prac tically assured by the State elections, was significant. It shows their ability to properly gauge the sentiment of the country, even when it is directly against the party to which they belong. EXCURSION NOTICES.
