The official vote of last Tuesday's
election in this county will be found it
another part of our paper. It shows the
election of the Democrat ic county ticket
with rhe exception of John Rorahaogh,
for Poor House Director, who is de
feated by George J. Myers, the Republi
can candidate, by the small margin of
5 votes. tVe regret his defeat, for he is
an honest, upright man, a good citizen,
an.i one of the staunchest Demcorats In
the county. The newly elected Sheriff,
Joseph A. Gray, is In the prime of life,
and we confidently predict that he will
bring to the discharge of the responsible
duties of hib office an energy, industiy
and intelligence that will entirely satis
fy the people of Cambria connty that
the confidence thev have reposed In him
ty their suffrages has not been mis
placed. "Dave" Molat was fully "vindi
cated" by the Republicans of the Fifth
ward, Philadelphia, oc Tuesday last.
He is the same man who altered the
election returns in his ward a few years
ago, for which be was tried, convicted,
and sentenced two years to Mnyamen
sing prison. He wanted a vindication,
and was regularly nominated by the
Republican in his ward for Common
Council. An independent Republican,
a man t f high character and admitted
fitness, wes his opponent, but '-Dave"
waa elected by a handsome majority.
Ia it any wonder that in a city in one of
whose wards this thing was done, a ma
jority of 14,000 should be rolled up for
Quay, who was proven to be Bill Kem
b''B right bower In attempting to pur
chase votes in the Legislature to pass
the swindling Pittsburg riot bill P Quay
and Mouat Mouat and Quay ! It is
the difference between tweedledum and

Tli laat nftU Wa driven into the B
pub'icao cedn on Tuesday by the rvsoH
of th- election in th two (Treat S'aten
of New York nnrl Virginia. In the for
mer David B. Hill wan elected Gover
nor by from twelve to fifteen thoasand
majority, with a like majority for the
balance of the Democratic State ticket.
The two cities of New York and Brook
lyn gave Hill nearly sixty thousand ma
jority, showing that the Democratic
factions In the former were true to their
pled? that, come weal come woe, they
would present an unbroken front in fa
vor of Ili'l. Thin great and decisive
victory in New York is an emphatic en
dorsement of the administration of Pres
ident Cleveland and must be especially
gratifying to him. To have been repu
diated by his own State almost at the
threshold of bis accession to power
would have been regarded as the begin
ning of the end of Democratic rnle,
and would have been proclaimed by the
leaders of the Republican part v as a sure
forerunner of its success in 1SS3. The
result, however, in New York effeetu
lly disposes of the Presidential aspira
tions of Blaine, Sherman and Lrean,
and is full of promise for the future as
cendency of the Democracy. Hurrah
for Grover Cleveland and the Democ
racy of New York I
In Virginia there is nothing left of
Mahone that is visible to the Daked eye.
nis canditate for Governor, John S.
Wise, is defeated by Fitzhuzh Lee by
a majority of over twenty thousand, and
the .Legislature which will elect Ma
hone's successor to the U. b. Senate, is
Democratic in both branches by large
msjorities. This is a victory which the
latb Commodore Vanderbilt would call
"a snorter." Farewell, Wm. Mahone,
and if forever, as we earnestly hope,
still forever, fare thee well. Massachu
setts and Iowa went Republican, while
Maryland and Mississippi went Demo
cratic. Id the other S'ates in which
elections took place on Tuesday no
changes of any consequence fjom formsr
results occurred.
Major Genkral George B. Mc
Clellan died at r wo o'clock on yester
day raornirg a week aero t St. Cloud,
Orange Mountain, N. J., of neuralgia
of the heart. Gen. McCiellan had for
the past two weeks suffered occasionally
from pains at the heart. The day be
fore hifc death he felt in good unirits,
and with his wife ard daughter visited
friends in the neighborhood. Before
he returned to his home he made an ap
pointment with a friend to meet him
the next morning at eleven o'clock.
Upon his return to his home he ate
heartily and spent the evening in conver
sation with his wife and daughter, re
tiring at ten o'clock. At eleven o'clock
the pains returned. So eevpre were
they that a messenger was dispatched
on horseback for the General's physi
cian. The phvsician at once came and
for four hour endeavored to sive him
relief, bnt his efforts were unsuccessful.
At 3:10 A. M. the sufferer sighed, smiled,
and said, "Thank God I have pulled'
through. Am now feeling relieved."
A moment, later he raised himself upon
one hand, opened his eyes, looked about
the room and fell bark dsd. nis wife,
soil and daughter were wi'h him.
The death of Gen. McCiellan has
caused s feeling of deep sorrow and re
gret thronshont the whole country. He
organized the Army of the poomac af
ter t he first Bull Run battl in 1861. and
with it fought, hi celebrated campaign
in Virprinia in 1P62. After he was re
moved from his command and the same
army under Gen. PopP was utterly de.
feated at the second batt;e of Bull Run,
and the safety of Washington was
threatened by the rebel simv marching
down through Maryland, Mr. Lincoln
asked Mct .lellan to again take com
mand and save th National Capital.
He did so, and defeated Gen. Lee on
the memorable fj . of Antietam in Sep
tember. 1862. Immediately after that
great batMe, S'anfon and thnae who
were confederated with him again set
themselves to work to destroy him, and
asrain procured his removal, and then
McCllel'an's miltary career ended. His
memory will ever te cherished by his
conntry, by hi8 companions in arms, and
especially by the people of Pennsylva
nia, his native sate.
Tn Johnstown Tribune of Monday
last, in referring to the election in this
county on the day following, took occa
sion fo say some very mean and untrue
things alout Joseph A. Grav. tb- Demo
cratic candidate for Sheriff. Without
entering into any defense of Mr. Gray,
we will simply r.ffet a few of last Tues'
day's elect ion figures against the abuse
of the Tribune. Mr. Gray was born in
and has resided in Susquehanna town
ship, which gave B'aine a majority of
19 votes last fall, all his life, until abont
two vears ago, when he removed to
Carrolltown. On Tuesday last the vo
ters of Susquehanna township, who
know all about him. gave Gray a major
ity of forty-one votes. In Carrolltown,
wheie he lives, he received 117 votes to
7 againt him, and in the surrounding
township of Carroll the vote stood :
Gray, 214 ; Stineman,23. In these three
districts Gray received 448 votes, and
Stineman 108, making Gray's majority
340. Who knows Joseph A. Gray best ?
Is it the editor of the Tribune or the
people amougst whom he has lived all
bis life ?
General McClellan worked dili
gently on the day before his death in
preparing an account of the battle of
Antietam. He was preparing a series
Of articles for the Century, a magazine
publication, and the first of ihem was
10 be one on Antietam. It was not fin
ished, and from the leaves of a book ly
ing on the General's table when
1 died protruded numerous pages of man
uscript, ihe book was an author it j he
had been consulting, snd the manuscript
was the hair-written article on his most
famons battle.
Befohe President Cleveland left
Washington on Monday, for Buffalo, to
cast his vote on Tuesday, he issued a
proclamation designating Thursday, No
vember 26, as a dy of public thanks
giving and prayer, and invoking t, k
eervance thereof by the pope of the
land. We rnblish it in another cotnran.

i Twenty-third street, to the MiJism
Squ-irv Presnvterian church, where the
I an I r'uneral services were performed by
tne pastor, the Rv. Charles H. Park- .
huist. Although the morning broke ,
dark and gloomy, with occasional bursts j
of rain, yet hundreds of people gathered
early In the neighborhood of the church
and Mr. Prime's house.
Squads of police begn to arrive early ;
and were placed in position to preserve ;
order. Twenty-five men were deployed
in lines extending from Mr. Prime's
house lo the church, two blocks away,
while oi hers guarded the church doors
and the passes leading to them. No
one, not even the Intimate friends of
the family, was admitted within the :
doors of the Prime raansiou, and on'y i
the family and pall bearers were pres- :
en', when reverently and with tender
hands the black cloth covered casket, !
upon which rested a sheaf of wheat and ,
a few immortelles, was lifted and slow- ,
ly borne to the street. i
On eilhei hand were the pall bearers,

; under Gen. McCielUn. Both of these J
organ izii ions preceded the body lo M;d- i
; ison Avenue, where twt ween open ranks
the procession passed into the church
; and up the aisle, where stood the offloi- i
j ating clergymen. j

j George Washington Post, G. A. R.,
i of which deceased was a member, was
also present. The church was without,
i decoration or emblems of mourning,
i save a few fl wers on the altar. The
I services wore of the simplest description,
I not occupying half an hour. "Jesus,
! Lover i f my Soul" and "(J. Mother
j Der, Jerusalem," two of the limns
j which Gen. McCiellan best liked, were
sung, after which prayer was offered by
j the Rev. Dr. l'arkhurst, anJ the Fif
j teenth (Jhap'er of First Corinthians was
i read by the Rev. Dr. Whiuker.
I The fii.al interment was conducted in
i the simplest manner,
j As the funeral procession aioved from

j with marked courteey by the people,
I who hurried along the sidewalk. Hats
! were lifud, and many a tear ieli from

By the Presid"n :
T. F. Bayard.
Secretary of 8tat.
Genera! tteorge B. McCiellan.
The conntry m shocked yesterday
mnrtiing by the anniunceme.it of the
sudden death of General George B Mc
Ciellan. There w-s no public prm ni
lion nf the aDUroach of the inexorable
messenger, and the announcement of
bis death came upon the pnbPc like the
thunderbolt from an apparently cload
less skv.
Of the many men of pre-eminent dis-tin-tion
during the mot memorable
h storv of the Republic. Gen. McCiellan
was like unto none of his eotemporaries.
He was a man of th purest and best
poli'ie ; a sincere and thoroughly self
sacrificing pafr'or ; a masterly military
organ'zer ; a skilful and and brave com
mander, and one whose political coun
sels were ever wise and s'atesmanlike.
n- DHtr.o to the command of the armies
of the Union the youngest of all who
had held that fearfully responsible trust,
and he bad to confront the gravest mili
tary duties and dangers. The country
was tinnoed to and unprenared for war ;
its trns'ed chieftan bad failed ; the
Union arms had suffered defeat in the
first great battle of the war, and politi
ical complications and perils mingled
largely with the military dangers which
beset him. Lincoln believed In McCiel
lan, and meant to give honest tnd hearty
pupport ; but conflicting methods, polit
ical and mi'itary jealousies, and the re
treat from Richmond on the Peninsula
culminated in his removal from com
mand. The disgraceful bombast and
failure of Pope, and his retreat into the
Intrenchmen'B of Washington after the
second battle of Manassas, brought the
Army of the Potomac again under Mc
Ciellan, and he exhibited his wonderful
organizing military powers bv gathering j
up a defeated and demoralized army and
practically defeating Lep at AnMetam.
Soon afur Antietam, Gen. McCiel
lan was again relieved of the command,
and the Fredericksburg disaster fol
lowed under Bnrnside. After a winder
of most disgraceful military wrangles
which should have dismissed and dis
graced a dozn eenerals. Hooker suc
ceeded to the command only to blunder
again at Chancellorsville. Meade and
Gettysburg followed, but it was not un
til Grant came into supreme command
that the country was prepared for the
sacrifice necessary to end the rebellion
by the des' motion of Lee's array at any
cost. In McCiellan and Grant were pre
sented the two widely different methods
of warfare that made Grant instead of
McCiellan the chieftan of the war.
Had Grant been a Confederate officer he
would have been dismissed the first year
of the war and died unknown to fame.
His aggressive and costlv methods of
warfare were adapted only to the side
that had boundless resources in men and
money. He was nothing if not aggres
siva. and he would have been an utter
failure as a defensive commander' Mc
Ciellan was not an aggressive warrior.
He was the one master organ'zer of the
army ; he was skilful, brave and cau
tious, and he was the best defensive
general of either army in the late war.
Hd be been a Confederate soldier he
would hane outs'npped Lne in ("fie
qna'i'tes of a great warrior whose suc
cess depended upon husbanding resouces
and delivering battle only when greater
msscouia re inaioten man roust ne re- f
oelved. It was this inherent diffeience :
in the destructive qualities of the two i
mn that nifde Grant, the less aecom- !
plished soldier, the chieftan of the Re i
public. j
No man ever bore himself more grand- ;
ly than did Gen. McCiellan when re- !
tire! from his command. Sfnn,on. the !
impetuous and imi'ich!e War Miris-
ier. had entered the VVr Office as Me- '
ClePpn's devoted friend, but became his j
most vindictive foe. Ha'Wk never foi- !
gave McC'ellan for the off-nse of win- 1
ning the sars of Con mander-in Chief I
before bis senior, and he shared Stan- j
ton's bitter personal hostility. McClel- j
lan was regarded with intense political '
and military jealousy, and systematic
and tireless ffor's were given to secure j
h's destruction; but no word or act '
came from him thaf ws not nnn'v and
patrioti". He was nominated for Presi
dent in 1864. when Sbrmsn was strug
gling for Atlanta and Grant was halted
in his march on Richmond, and the de
liverance of h's pary on the war wss
pointedly disconrnging to the loval iieo
piP of the North ; but McCiellan boldly
put himself on brnd loyal and patriotic
grounds 'n his letter of acceptance. TI
could not aver political defeat, but he
could and r'id assert his patriotic devo
tion and vindicate his honor as a sol
dier. General MeC'ellan was a conscien
tious conservative, both as a soldier and
statesman, and he was callpd to act a
part when consprvstive methods in bob
poli'i'-s and wor were not jorepbl to
the country. The political methods of
war f'mes were simo'v revo'nt ionarv
and the mi'itarv methods finally looked
! to results regardless of sacrifice. Grant j
! 1o,st rnorp men fn k'llled. wounded and I
mts;ng between the Rin'dan and
the 1
James Than Lee ever bad in front nf
him. and that, method of ser!ficine
three lives or one decoyed Lee and
ended the rebe"ion. McCleMaa would
never have fought nch a campaign, nor
'Tovtid anv hre fought it but Grant.
Mcf?!ellan won'd bare taken Richmond
bv overwhelming numbers and strategy
with probably batf the loss that Grant
sustained ; hut Lee's armv would have
been stiM in the field, and the rebellion
nnrofquered. Ro'h these great war
riors have passed away. Hisorv will
