-way.
We ought te have known better than
te credit the first reports of Republican
majorities j they have a habit of coming
1b en the morning after the election a
geed deal bigger than they finally
appear. The news is sent before the
country as heard from. Lesses and
gains In the towns are taken ns
the basiu of calculation ; but the
towns de net speak for the country always.
The result of the elections en Tuesday
cannot be reliably known for a day or
'two yet. It will take some time te get
the returns in from the mountains of
West Virginia and the Ohie back weeds.
It is posslble that Ohie may turn out te
have elected the Democratic ticket, but
It the Republican majority is net mere
than 10 000 it will answer every purpose
as a drawn battle ; because 10,000 was
the Republican majority figured before
the election was held.
Asinine Conduct.
There are two Democratic candidates
for Congress presented in the Centre,
Clearfield, Elk, Mifflin, Clinten, Union
districts. There are se many counties
in the district and se many geed candi
dates that it is net surprising that there
should have been difficulty in reaching u
nomination ; but with such geed men in
council it should net have been impesai
ble te agree. Mr. Dill was the candi
date of Union, Mr. Hull, of Elk, Mr.
Beed.ef Mifflin, Mr. Ptale, of Clinten,
while the present congressman, Mr.
Curtln, was urged by Centre and Clear
field. Mr. Curtln was finally nominated by
these two counties; and the Republicans,
It is said, will make no nomination
against tiim. The ether four counties
have nominated Mr. Hall There is no
sense in such a contest as is here prom
'ted. It is one between two Democrats

'J lie Parly of Yeung Men.
When Jlr. Blaine was journeying
through Ohie drumming up tbe Repub
lican vote he took occasion in nn nddresa
te a yeuug men's organization te refer
tethe vast power in the politics of the
country exercised by young men. lie
rightfully declared that that party
which dfBires success must have the
young element for Its bone aud sinew. It
is net surprising that he claimed that the
Republican organisatien contained the
youth of the land, for lie was making a
partisan speech ; but as a matter of fact
his assertion will net bear inspection.
And for this reason. Laying aside all
questions of tradition, the young man of
little werldy experience allows his
sympathies te run naturally with that
party which exhibits the least public
corruption. Fer him the old time issues
that keep the middle aged and old in the
party rank are merely a farrago of
words. He lives in the present and
judges a i arty by its present deeds und
net its past perfeimances. Ne Intelligent
man will claim that of the two great
parties te day the Republican is the
mere honest. It is an admitted fact
that the most disreputable of politicians
are the master spirits of itsorganlzatien.
These are facts which the jeung men
of te day appreciate at their true value.
Yeung Republicans, In whose minds the
civil war is but a memory, are net filled
with the same horror of Confederate
brigadiers, that animates their fathers
and uncle whose convictions were made
up when the paailem engendered by the
civil war were at their boiling point.
They de net believe with the same blind
prejudice as their elder brethren that
because of an outrage at Ceplnh the
whole negre vote of tha Seuth is uuder
intimidation. They find it difficult te
understand that the Democratic party
is thoroughly bad wliuu it has for its
leaders such pure statesmen us Bayard,
Randall, Thurman and Hendricks. They
are unable te appreciate the fear that
everything will go te the demuitien bow
wows if the Democrats obtain the na
tienal control, because they remember
that the Democracy hnve 20 of the 39
governors lu tLe most prosperous states
of the Union. In Que, they are banish
ing from them the falsa doctriue taught
by Republican leaden that the Repub
lican party possesses the monopoly of
the virtue of the country.
The question of peraeual honesty has
la large part been responsible for this
awakening of the Republican jeung men
et the country during the present car.
Te them the issue U a live one. Te their
fithers, bardenl by worldly knocks, its
importance is made seenndary te parti
san fidelity, There are 12 b3i) ,H0 voters
In the country, nad ft l-i-. 'i-iej thnt
ftOOOJSer tUWB hiv btriwmi Uienges
of twenty-one and twenty-five. The
number of voters between the ages of
twenty-one and thirty is believed te le
one third of the voting power of the
nation. On these men the stainless
record of Governer Cleveland's life as a
public servant will have great weight,
and involuntarily will ceme the terrible
contrast of Blaine's proved venality.
The young men this year, irrespective ei
party, are for the honest candidate a
against the dishonest one, and that Is
why Blaine and his party will be
overwhelmingly buried in November.
An Editor Cornered
The New Yerk Sun Is entitled te the
fleer new te express its views upon Mr.
Tlldcn'd letter, testifying te his belief
that Cleveland's election "will assure us
of a Bafo and prudent administration of
the chief magistracy," that it will re
store simplicity and economy " and will
" enable business men te repose under
the shelter of a stable administrative
system, free from favoritism te particu
lar classes."
Perhaps the Sun will be pleased te
hear such words of commendation of
Mr. Cleveland from Mr. Tilden, but
probably net. It has been lamenting
very much, but very hypocritically for
fear that Mr. Tilden would net say a
word In praise of Cleveland. If the bun
was honest it would hasten te acknewl
edge that Mr. Tilden disagreed with it
entirely in its conception of the Deme,
cratlc candidate.
But the Sun is net honest. That it
has fully demonstrated. It has shown
itself te have been but an ass parading
In a lien's skin, while it brayed contin
ually against public corruption, andde
mauded that the thievps be put out of
office. It only wanted these thieves out
who were net of its household. New
that it has again crossed the Republican
threshold the chief of the whiskey
thieves appears te it te be pure, white
robed statesmen, fit te be president, bo be bo
eauso he is a Republican. It is always
with the editor of the Sun a matter of
the most vital consequence te his judg
ment te knew whose ex it is that is
being gored.
Goveiixer Cleveland is enjoying
an ovation in New Yerk, te which city
he went down from the capltel as an
ordinary passenger in an ordinary car.
His train stepped in the New Yerk depot
along side the private car of General
Butler, which was there awaiting the
pleasure of the candidate of the
horny handed sons of labor. Butler
has been traveling luxuriously ever
the cenntiy txhibltlng himself as
the People's candidate. It never seems
te occur te his self, appreciating spirit
that everybody understands the hollow
ness of his professions. If he had a little
higher opinion of the people's sense he
would at least travel as an ordinary citl
zen while claiming te be the apostle of
the common people. Governer Cleve
land shows very geed sense in
reiusing special cars ana tree pas
sage and travelling in Democratic
fashion, paying his way. General But
ler, perhaps, pays for his private car ;
but he shows tee luxurious a taste and
tee well filled a pocket te pose gracefully
as the peer man's savieur.
We should have said that household

for mere than rrteu of coal for every
thirty-five cubittfeejfWieirbln. Thirty
five eublc feet of coal weiEliate8&J00O
lbs. or 57 lbs. te the cubic feet.
Mit. Dana proclaims In tbe New
Yerk Sun that Ohie kills Cleveland as a
candidate. It is safe te say that this is
an opinion solely entertained by Mr.
Dana, of the -Sim.
Cuencs of Republican organs : "Ohie
settles It ;" ay, it settles it for Cleveland,
'Iiie returns from West Virginia clearly
indicate that the Republican party is
gelug.
Tub Ohie majority much resembles a
burning eandle; the longer it stam'.n, the
shorter It grows.
Tun line between Republican victory
and Republicau defeat in Ohlu is growing
mero shadowy rach hour.
It Is fitting that Frank Hatten should
ba the last postmister general et the Re
publican party. lie fitly represents a
corrupt and dying party.
PcmiAi'd If Mr. Charles A. Dana puts
en his spcotaeles be may sce some little
ojmmendatien of New Yerk's honest
governor, Grever Cleveland, in Tilden's
letter.
The Philadelphia beard of publie
education have deeided te make sewing a
part of the regular instruction in second
ary and grammar fcoheols for girls in that
city. This is a step in the light dlreotien.
Blaine Bbeuld promptly bettle bis
magnetism. Se tnueb, however, has been
penred en Ohie and with se little result
that it is feared there will net be enough
te go around in New Yerk, New Jersey
and Indiana.
Tiiat Blaine w..s net totally rejected in
Ohie simply proves that he is net distrusted
in the Buokeye state te the same extent as
he is In the East wberehe Is better known.
After New Yerk empties lis !!; of wrath
ou him in Nevember, tba.e will net be a
square Inch of eurface left of his political
reputation.
He laughs best who lauphs last. The
manner in whleh the Republican majority
in Ohie is lessening, while the Democratic
majority in West Virginia Is increasing,
bes put a sudden oheek en Republican
hilarity that vividly recalls the manner in
whleh the festivities at Belsbazrar's feast
were Interrupted by the La-d writing en
the wall.

The magnificent reception accorded
GoTernor Cleveland In New Yerk en Wed
nesday night when 15,000 persons tried in
vain te get within the immouae neiJemy
of musle building which was already
packed te suffocation, shows hew terribly
in earnest the pcople of New Yerk nre In
the oemlog political battle They are de
termlncd that the knavish methods of
Blaine shall recelve their proper oeuderana
tlen. New Yerk may be depended upon
te roll up a handsorae majority for her
honest, able and fearless chief executive.
These easy-going Christians, who Imag
ine that the Jews and Mehammedans of
Palcstlne cling te their anolent creeds as a
matter of habit and largely beoause they de
net knew any better, will have their eyes
opened by the publication of seme rcoent
statistics. The Londen Chureh Mission
ary soelcty has expended In thlrty-thrce
years upwards of $000,000 without making
a slngle eanvert. The Londen Jews' soel
cty spent $150,000 botween 1377 and 1933,
with net a slngle converted Mohammedan
te show for it. The tonicity with whleh the
Mussulman clings te his faith Is worthy of
a better oaute.

Returns from Tuesday's election in West
Virginia ceme in slowly, but new that the
smeke is clearing from the field it may be
seen that the Democrats have scored a
signal and, under the circumstance'!, a
remarkable viotery. They bave verified
their three claims -first, that fusion was a
failure ; secend, that they held a large and
sure vote in reserve, aud third, that a safe
Democratic majority nists iu each of the
four congressional districts. The con
gressional eleotiecs de net ceme elf until
November 4, but the returna indicate se
large a majority iu each as te make the
result a foregone ojneludiou. The
majority given jestcrday can only ba ap
prextmated, out the indications are uew
iufallible. The vete has crept te ever
10,000 mero than tbe anticipated 110,000,
showing a heavy increase of populatieu
and the large Democratic contingent.
The result is comprehensively shown by
oengressional districts, which have bsen
placed as fellows by the Democratic utate
cemmittee from ofQeial. semi oflieial and
estimated returns :

Chairman Leenard claims the state by
10,000 and Chairman Cowden concedes a
Democratic gain, but a week must elapse
before every county in the Third district
can be beard from. It U n netable faet
that whlle the Chesapeake & Ohie labored
te defeat Wilsen, Cabell county its head
quarters show a gain of 000 fur him. The
most conspicuous featuie of the returns is
the complete redemption of the Fiist or
Metropolitan districts. General Gelf
carried It by 1,800 iu 1883 aud it has new
whirled ever, giving an average Demo
cratic majority of 1,310. Gelf's defeat by
Judge Uranuen, in November, is sure.
The state will return a solid delegation of
Democrats te Congress.
In the Legislature Just elected the
Democrats will have a geed working ma
jority in both beuses, The furien will
lese them about eleven members, which
less will net be appreoiable. The total
result Is hailed as a sweeping viotery by
tbe Democrats and bonfires were glowing
Wednesday night iu tbe mountains iu
every direction.
