VOL. LXVII. CAPITOL GOSSIP UNDER THEIR DEFEAT. Election ~The President Working oa His Annual Message. WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—The underithe load of defeat which has found who takes a gloomy view of the future of the party, but asa whole they believe that the set-back is temporary and that it is traceable almost entirely to dissension in the party, which kept and that the defeat will result bringing about action that willjremove the causes of Democratic indiflerence in time to present a solid front to the | enemy in 1896 and to win ground lost this year. Much will de- pend upon the spirit in which the] Democratic Senators and Representa- | tives return to Washington for the coming session of Congress, come with vindictiveness in their] hearts and revenge in their minds, on | account of their personal wrongs, re- gardless of its effect upon the future] fortunes of the Democratic party, there will be no harmony, but a repetition | of the criminations and recriruinations | which were a feature of the last session | individual or combination of individu- als, As one Democrat very aptly puts it: “If the present leaders of the Dem- | ocratic party refuse to harmonize they party, who wish for harmony and par- | how to select leaders who will harmo- nize.” Senator Sherman, who was as deep expectations as any man, does not hes- | itate to express his surprise at the sults of the election. He says that the most expected was that the Republi- cans would succeed in electing a small majority of the house. were surprised it is easy that the losers were more so, Senator Faulkner, chairman of the Democratic campaign committee, wishes it to be distinetly understood that his ante-election claim, that the Democrats would retain control of the House, was a bona fide one, made up- on information obtained from crats who he had every Tee situation in their respective states. upon whom he relied for information | he cites Illinois, where Hon. William R. Morrison, has been a prominent Democrat since he is old enough vote. Mr. Morrison after being on the ed Senator Faulkner that the Democratic. single Democratic Congressman, its legislature is Republican. The | Senator does not mean by this to cast | any aspersion upon Mr. Morrison and the other Democrats who furnished the committee the information upon which his claims were based, but mere- ly to show that this was one of the years when the leaders of the party were not posted as to the intention of the voters. He believes them to te as honest in their reports as he was in his claims, but he doesn’t fancy being considered a rainbow chaser. Secretary Carlisle says, and surely there can be no better authority, that there is absolutely no foundation for the story sent out from Wall street, that the Treasury department was pre- paring to issue bonds to strengthen the gold reserve. And he adds that the story is merely a part of one of the periodical schemes started in Wall Btreet for the express purpose of fore- ing an issue of bonds. There is no more necessity at this time for the is- sue of bonds than there has been for three or four months, In fact, there is less, as the gold in the Treasury has been slowly increasing for some time, President Cleveland is now working upon his annual message to Congress, which Is expected to be quite long this year. While not caring to make the positive statement, I have excellent reasons for the belief that the message will deal very vigorously with tariff reform and will make it perfectly plain that the President believes the defeat of the Democratic party was not for what was done In that direction by Congress, but for what was not done, and will urge in no uncertain language that the omissions of the last session be partially made up at the coming session, by the passing of the free raw material bills by the Benate which were by the House at the last session, It is not believed that any- thing that the President can say will’ cause the Senate to pass those bills, be- cause the Democratic Senators who struck the free raw material features, with the exception of wool, out of the original Wilson bill will not vote for them; but the President can at least put himself on record as still believing, in common with most Democrats, that the pledges upon which the party was put into power two years ago ought to be kept before the party loses control of Congress, and I believe it will do it. rman et meme Price of Votes The price of votes on Tuesday of last week may be gathered from this inci- dent at Bellefonte: A voter who had already deposited his ballot for SBinger- ly, was afterwards hailed on the street by a worker for the other side who { asked him if he had voted ; the reply | was “Then give the General a | complime ntary vote, that would proper.” “Oh well,” says the voter, | I wouldn't mind itso mue honly I like { to vote for my own party.” Here $2.50 { were dropped into his coat pocket and | he went home chuckling to his wife {and banded the money over to her, | Returning and going up street a { short time afterwards he met the same { worker, who asked him if be had vo- {ted ; the reply was, ‘‘Yes; no." be With this announcement i three dollars in silver again slyly fell {4uto his coat pocket, but the voles went for Singerly all the same. The Emporium “Echo’’ gives this: “From 50 cents to $2 was the price of votes in Cameron county in this elec- | tion. It was not the voice of the peo- | ple but the force of monopoly, money | and compulsion, thiough bosses,"’ | not voted.” ' tea ——— Worry Over Credit, One of our down east exchanges has | given a neighbor exchange a spicy pen { shot for copying from its colums with- | out credit.

The increase is principally due to the heavier locomotives which the Company has been gradually ac quiring, besides the increase of speed.
