Since we must have a Republican gov-

and often said so.
In Union co. the vote for Gov. stood

Wo are sorry for the defeat of Mr,
Hall. It is a shame for the Democracy
of this district, in which Mr. Hall should
have had at least 2500 majority. Centre
county did not do her duty by letting
Hall have only a petty 38 majority. The
other Democratic counties of the dis

Lut being the nominee and a good and
able Democrat, we were as earnestly for
his election as tho’ our favorite had been

The majority for Lew Schaeffer is just
193 less than Black's. Of this fally 75
Democrats voted for Mr, Boal on person-
al grounds without being dissatisfied
with Schaeffer. This leaves 118 votes
to the credit of the operations of the lea*
ders of the kickers, and of this number
fally one half, 9, are willing to admit
that they voted against Schaeffer solely,
beacause of the slanderous stories circula-
ted against him and would have voted
for him had they known the stuff was

CENTRE
. WAS IT A REBUKE?
The Republicans are gloating over the
victory of the Protection sentiment by
the defeat of some the radical Free Tra-
ders of the House of Representativ es.
Gireat stress is laid’on the apparent un-
popularity of the free trade idea by the
organs of the protected monopolies, be-
cause of the defeat of Mr. Morrsion, of
Illinois, and other tariff reform candi-
dates for Congress. Let as see whether
the assumption of the monopoly editors
is borne out by the facts, which the Pa-
{riot puts in a very forcible manner:
Speaker Carlisle has had a close race
for re-election. The Republicans did
not dare to put up a candidate against
him and make the issue on the tariff
question. A secret labor organization
ran a candidate against him who did not
utter a word on the subject of the tariff
before the election. The Democrats of
the district belving that there was no
serious opposition to Mr, Carlisle, made
no effort to organize in his behalf, In
view of these facts it can be hardly claim-
ed that Mr. Carlisle's small majority is
a rebuke to tariff reform.
Frank Hurd's failure in the Toledo
district is attributed to these facts: (1.)
His absence from the district except du-
ring his campaign for Congress and (2)
his vindictive course towards those de-
mocrats of the district’ who were person-
ally offensive to him. Instead of los-
ing votes because of his attitude as a tar-
iff reformer he had the support of prom-
inent Republicans on that very account.
Now for the other side of the picture.
The campaign in Pennsylvania onsthe
part of the Democrats was made on the
State issues, the tariff question be-
Platform approved by Mr. Randall, was
generally regarded as a declaration in
favor of “protection.” But no Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor of Penn-
sylvania, within the last half century
was beaten by as large a majority as that
thrown against that excellent statesman
Chauncey F. Black. To this result the
congressional districls at present repre-
sented by “protective” Democrats con-
tributed very largely, while those rep-
resented by tariff reformers did their
whole duty. One of the two Republi-
can congressional districts carried by the
Democrats is represented by William A.
Scott, who voted for the consideration of
the Morrison tariff bill, and who is re-
elected by double his former majority.
On the contrary Democratic protection-
isn went down in the Keystone State
last Tuesday.
And how about New York and New
Jersey? The protectionist Democratic
Congressmen in the rural districts of
New York either failed of a renomina-
tion or where defeated at the polis. In
New Jersey, whose Democratic delega-
tion in the present congress voted al-
most solidly against the Morrison bill,
but two Democratic congressmen were
elected last Tuesday, notwithstanding
the fact the State cast a Democratic ma-
jority of seven thousand. McAdoo, in
the Jersey City district, ran nearly four
thousand behind the Democratic candi-
date for Governor, and Mr, Pidcock es-
caped with a beggarly majority. Yet
these two are out and out protectionists.
New England, too, seems to have re-
pudiated tariff protection of monopolies.
In Connecticut, Massachoetts and New
Hampshire the Democrats gain five con-
gressmen, with the issue of tariff’ reform
distinctly made, Five protectionist Re-
publicans and two protectionist Demo-
crats were given permission to retire
from the séats in Congress they now oc-
cupy. On the whole it looks as if the
intelligence of the country were leading
the van in the great coming battle
against monopoly, while corruption and
ignorance have here and there given
the monster an advantage. The “free
trade” rebuke has not frightened the
country as badly as those who used it in
the recent canvass fondly expected.

PROHIBITIONS FUTURE.
W. H. H. Bartram, editor of the “Bix-
teenth Amendment,” said :
“The Republicans have secured a ma-
jority in the Btate Legislature but 1
know that, in spite of what they have
said’ they will not submit the prohibi-
tion amendment question to the people.
I am confident they won't. This is what
{they will do: A bill providing for the
realization of our object will be submit-
ted and it will systematically be rejected
by about 8 or 10 votes. They will then
turn to us and say: ‘Now if you people
had only helped vs in places where we
were defeated you see that your amend-
ment would have gone to the people.
You really have caused the defeat of
your own bill.
“This certainly is their proposed plan
and it, doubtless, will serve as a means
of keeping the wool over the eyes of
many Republicans who favor prohibi-
tion, but who have faith in their party
to fulfill what they promise.”
Mr. Bartram went on to say that the
Prohibition vote of Pittsburgh is up to
his expectations and that in New York,
New Jersey and other places it is exceed-
ingly satisfactory. He predicted that it
is possible that after the Presidential
election of 1888 the Prohibition party as
it now exists will go out of existence
and a new party be organized.
He said: “One of the two great parties
will probably be overwhelmingly defeat-
ed. The defeat may be such that little
hope of anything like speedy recovery
will be expected. A party will then be
formed whose prohibitory limits will
only extend to prevent ing beer and lig-
uors being drunk on the premises where
they are sold. This will kiil the saloon
business; in fact it will close them all
While this will not be going as far as
we all desire as Prohibitionists, it will
be a step in the right direction. I am

THE GREAT VICTORY OF TUES.
Every day brings fresh evidence that
the elections of Tuesday resulted in a
grand Democratic triumph. Inaddition |
to carrying Minnesota, California and
Colorado, and reducing the Republican
majorities in Iowa and Ohio, the party
makes such gains in State Legislatures
as will guarantee the complete oblitera-
tion of the Republican majority in the]
United States Senate.
In the present Senate the Republicans
have a majority of eight, It wasexpect-|
ed that there would be a slight reduc-|
tion in this majority, but the most hope-
ful didn’t anticipate that it would be)
wiped out in a single contest. The gen-
eral belief was that by 1887 sufficient |
changes might be made to change the |
complexion of the body, but the victory |
of Tuesday bas made it possible by the
Fourth of March next.
APPLIED FOR BOODLE.
We ‘have good authority for saying
that a leading kicker from here
applied to Republican managers at
Bellefonte by letter, for funds to carry
on the trade and keep fellows in line
against Schaeffer, So, even used Re-
publican boodle to help destroy the De-
mocracy! Just as we expected—the
kicker leaders had a contract to sell out
the Democracy. The Republicans now
swear at the Centre Hall kickers because
they were not able to deliver the goods
as per contract. Shame! Shame!

THE NEXT CENTENNIAL.
At a meeting of the exposition execus

few nights ago, it was ordered that a
convention of the Board of Promotion,
including the members from the various
States and Territories, be called to meet
in Washington on Tuesday, December 7,
for the purpose of deliberatinng upon a
plan and presenting it to Congress. The
board includes the Governors of the for
ty-six States and Territ ories, the Mayors
of all cities containing a population of]
25,000 and upwards, the presidents sod
secretaries of Board of Trade through-
out the United States, the residents and
secretaries of all State Agri cultural Soci

of the Mount Vernon Association of the
