The Somerset Herald. EDWA.RD SCULL, Editor and Proprietor. WEDNESDAT Novemler 18, ISC Was Gassman elected? How ilo you like it, Republicans? A majority of 1475 whittled down to 320, by treachery. "Eetorm within the party" means the election of a Democrat, does it T The lion and the lamb hasn't lain down together, but the Wolfe and the Baer did. It was an edifying eight to see office-holders, grown fat on Rcpub lican bread and butler, voting for Baer. - The joy of the non-partisan Demo crats over Baer '8 success is unbound ed. They arc all against partisan judges, you know. Dox't you forget it. that there is a Republican majority in the county, against the combined forces of the Democrats and tLe kickers. Hall and Koontz ought to put in the plea of insanity. By all odds it is the most fashionable plea now. Guiteau hopes to save his worthless neck by it It would have warmed the cock les of every honest Republican's heart, to have witnessed the enthu eiaem of the kickers in this town, oyer Baev's election. Official returns have been re ceived from every county in the State, and elect Baily, (Rep.) for State Treasurer, by a plurality over Noble (Pern.) of 7,002. We really must have a recount of the vote in this borouglu There are so many fellows swearing they voted for Cessna, that the officers must have made a miscount. It took five roosters and its en tire stock of advertising cuts, to pro claim the joy of the Bedford Gazelle, over the grand Democratic victory secured by the election of Baer. Who will now deny the generosi ty of Somerset Republicans. They have bestowed the best office in their gift upon a man who never once voted for aRepublican,and who never will. Woite's vote in the State will be alout 40,0(10. It is estimated that more than one fourth of this num ber came from the Democratic ranks, he himself admitting that about one fifth of it did. Working against a candidate and then voting for him, with the hope of covering up tracks, is a dirty spe cies of treachery, but it wa9 prac ticed by professing Republicans at the late election. Some time anterior to the election, Judge Hall prophesied on our streets that Mr. Baer would have at least five hundred majority in each of the counties of Bedford and Somerset. A prophet of Baael ! The official vote for President Judge in this district is as follows : Omnia. Baer. Somerset If. Uedlors S. Totals lmtr'r majority ... 13 Wolfe's vote in this county is just 103 votes. These are the chronic bolters and kickers who for the past few years under the name of Green backers, Reformers and Iabor Re formers, have been trying to reform the Republican party by dividing it. The Democrats of Wisconsin hoped to profit by a Prohibition side show, and steal the chestnuts from the fire this year. The Prohibition ists came near doing the cat's paw job very neatly, and for twenty-four hours the Democrats were confident that they had got a lease of the offi ces for one term at least But their cup of happiness was dashed to the ground just as they had it level with their lips, ready to drain it to the dregs. Wisconsin is still true to the Republican faith. The Republicans elect their State ticket in New York except Husted for Treasurer by majorities ranging from 10,0(X) to 12,000. Decent Re publicans of every shade of opinion cut Husted. We loose one member of Congress in the city Mr. Astor through the treachery of the " Half breeds." The Democrats have a small majority in the Iegislature, procured in the same way. As, however, we have the Governor, and a United States Senator is not to be elected before 18S4, this is utterly without political significance. The Republicans of Pennsylvania again come out of a struggle with the Democracy, and with treachery and falsehood in their own ranks, with banners flying and lines un broken. To fight an open foe, with traitors in your own camp attempt ing to destroy it, is dangerous work, but this we have just done and gain ed a notable victory. Th attempt to "reform" the Republican army by putting Democrats in command has nded in the signal overthrow of the conspirators.' Baily has been elected, Wolfe has been gibbeted, and Noble has been beaten. The Republican party is its own " Boss," and will continue to control the des tiny of the Keystone State. We congratulate our friends that in Pennsylvania common sense rules supreme. ' ' ; i It has been t!ie custom, grown gray by usage, and endorsed as common fairness and common de cency, to select a "Return Judge" from the friends of the candidate who carried the county, but the highly ornamental Associate Judges of this county selected one of Mr. Cessna's bitterest opponents for the position. There's nothing like "rubbing it in" when you have a chance. The Bourbons seem to have been regularly stampeded in Virginia, Twenty thousand is the majority nhich Mahonc now confidently claims for Colonel Cameron, along with a working majority in both branches of the Legislature. There are so many backwoods counties in Virginia it takes several days to ob tain the actual sum tutal. Jubal Early and his fire-eating friends will be ten times more mad at Mahone than they were before, and that much more anxious to kill him and gel hirn underground. . The Pittsburgh Cummcreiul says : "A full count in the Bedford-Somerset district defeats John Cessna for the Judgeship by about a dozen votes. This is asserted to be the result of the defection of Judge Hall, who could not forgive Cessna for de feating him for renomination. It is greatly to be regretted that this re mit has been brought about in the manner it has. Judge Hall owes a great deal to the Republican party for past favors, and his treacherous conduct in this matter will not soon be forgotten." The Comviercial does Hall honor over much. Willi.."! II. Koontz, who owes equally us much to the Republican nartv for past favors By shares the treachcrv with him. Wkli, John Cessna is defeated for Judge. The man who has made more sacrifices of time and money ; who has labcred more unceasingly for hi3 party ; whose untiring energy during last year's campaign did more to accomplish General Gar field's success than any other half score ol men in this district ; whose eminent legal abilities and personal integrity are beyond the reach of his assailants, has been stricken down by the deliberate treachery of a few men who owe all they are, and all they have, to the Republican party. It is no pleasant duty to say this, but it is God's own truth. " There is no use crying tver spilled milk," says the adage. True, where it is spilled by accident But when it is forcibly wrenched from you by a professed friend, or stolen and thrown away by one to whom you had in trusted it, human nature cannot suppress a cry of indignation. If we believed that the true Re publicans of this county calmly and deliberately determined beforehand, to elect Mr. Baer to the Bench, we would have nothing further to say ; but we do not believe it. In fact, we know that Mr. Baer owes a large portion of his vote in this count, not to his friends, but to a few ma lignant personal enemies of Mr. Cessna. We knew that scores of Republicans would vote for Mr. Baer on personal grounds, others on the question of locality, others on the pocket appeal that his election would place $4,000 a year at his dis posal to be expended in the coun'.y, others to whom he is indebted, that payment of their claims would fol low his election, but these men do not constitute much more than one half of the Republicans who voted for him. Their position was openly known, and the loss of their votes was discounted in advance. These men are censurable only for the looseness with which they are bound by party ties, and yet there is not one of them, were he a candidate himself, bat would feel indignant if he did not receive his party's full support It was the malignants, the chronic bolters and kickers, the fellows who masqueraded under the cloak of " Reform ;" ingrates who have grown fat on Republican patronage; offi cials still sucking lustily at the pub lic teat ; men who claim to be Gar field Republicans par excellence, who went about the county stirring up dead issues, and whispering in the ears of their tools, here is a chance to strike a " Grant man ; " these are the men to whom Mr. Baer owes his election, and whom, if an honest man himself, he must most heartily despise. These men who " stole the livery of Heaven to 6erve the devil with," disgraced themselves, not the pf rty ; but their ally and co-lalorer, J u ige Hall, by his course abuse and vil.ifi-, cation of Mr. Cessna ; by his sl.sn derous letters and circulars, his pet ty f-piteful charges and personal ap peals to voters, not only reduced himself beneath contempt, but im measurably disgraced the high office which he unfortunately holds, and brought dishonor upon the Judicia ry of the State. Can melt thing bt, and not overawe u like A rammer cloud, with special wander." Disgraced as the Republicans of this county are, by , the men, the means and methods that defeated Mr. Cessna, the returns show that the party still has the power to crush out the traitors in its ranks. It will stand, a tower of strength, despite the vermin that are attempting to burrow beneath its foundation walls. The honest men who voted for Mr. m r i . aer iroro personal motives will re- ;turn to the ranks, while the men who used its potent name to conjure j gret that you decline the Attorney treason with, will sneak eelf-branded Generalship, but though disappoint to their political graves.

The defeat of Hon. John Cessna for Judge of the Somerset and Bed ford Judicial district is greatly to be regretted by all friends of fair deal ing. He deserved belter treatment at the hands of Republicans, for he has done as much for the Republi can party as any man in the Stale, and never faltered in his allegiance because his favorite was not nomi nated and liis personal enemy was on the ticket Beside, he is one of the best lawyers in the country, a presiding officer with few equals, and a pleasant, genial gentleman. Jvhntfoirn Tribune. ! - i l'rcsidcnt Arthur Mean Bneinesw. New York-Correspondent of Phil'a ledger. All attempts to draw from Presi dent Arthur an expression of opin ion touching the reported "scene" between him and Attorney General MacVcagh, as chronicled in a Washington paper, have been sig nal failures. Ihe President, with a becoming sense of his dignity, very properly declines to gossip on the subject; but nevertheless this may be confidently, if not authori tively affirmed, that Guiteau shall be brought to trial at the earliest possible moment, as he has no idea of giving his enemies the slightest opportunity for insinuating that, as Guiteau's crime has made him President, he is inclined therefore to be unduly lenient to Guiteau himself. There were some cruel things said of President Arthur just after the assasination of President Garfield, ami these ho has not for- cotten. He is determined that the country shall have the fullest dem onstration of the injustice of the smuations in question, and if Mr, MacVeagh will not faciliate the trial, ways and means wi'l be found for proceeding without mm. Ihe President, in short, occupies the same position with Guiteau as he docs to the Star Route frauds ; he does not intend to be saddled with either, and the gentleman whose official business it is to prosecute both to the bitter end, he is deter mined shall be strictly held to their responsibility before the country.

All the personal effects of the late President Garhelit, which have been stored in the cast room of the White House, were to-day removed to the Baltimore and Potomac depot for transportation to Mrs. Garfield at Cleveland, Ohio. They included all the books, pictures, household decoration, etc., brought to the White House by General Garfield and purchased by him while there, Mrs. Garfield's dresses, etc. There were about thirty boxes. The Al derney cow presented to the Presi ident by Mr. Shoemaker, of Balti more which has been at Thunlaw (the Hume estate) since General Garfield's removal to Ixng Branch, was also placed on the train. Special cars were placed nt Mrs. Garfield's disposal by the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company. The goods are all to be taken direct to the farm at Mentor, but the cow which has been christened Anna line, will be taken to Cleveland, where Mrs. Garfield has her resi dence for the winter. The horses purchased by General Garfield have been left in care of General Swaim, and the carriage and harness stored with Mr. McDermott. The Xew Secretary of tlto Tntaarr, Geneva, N.

EE ElECO UST IM The Result in the Several States. GLORY ENOUGH. Here We Are Again. Nine States out of Twelve Carried by the Re publicans. Old Virginia Freed from Bourbon Rule XEW VORK. New York, Nov. 0. Secretary Vrooman, of the Republican State Central Committee, says : From the best estimate we can make the Re publicans carried the State by at least 5,000. The Legislature will be very close. We estimate the Senate will be a tic, 16 Republicans and 16 Democrats, and assembly GS Re publicans andGO Democrats. The World's legislature table makes the State Senate Democrats, 17 ; Republicans, 15 ; Assembly Democrats, 78; Republicans, 61, and claims the election of State offi cers by majorities ranging from 2, 000 on Purcell to over 20,000 on Max well for State Treasurer. The Tribune estimates Carr's ma- ioritv at 8.700, The Senate, it thinks, will stand lij uemocrais to 15 Republicans, and the Assembly 66 Democrats to 62 Republicans. The Sun says ; Neither party has elected its entire State ticket So far as incomplete returnj show, Carr, the Republican candidate for Secre tary of State, runs ahead of his tick et in nearly every county, and is probably elected by about 4,000 plu rality over Purcell. Maxwell, Dem ocrat fr Treasurer, defeats Husted Republicans, by an estimated ma jority of 10.000 to 15,000. The fig ures are msutucicnt on tne rest oi the State ticket to indicate the re suit Each party claims the elec tion of its ticket by 2,00U. t he otii cial count will be necessary to de termine the result The majority will probably be only a few hundred either way. The Democrats have carried the Lecislature bv 8 or 10 on joint ballot The Senate will stand 17 Democrats to fifteen Re publicans ; the Assembly will prob ably be composed of 68 Democrats and 60 Republicans. One or two doubtful districts have not been heard from? but they will not wipe out the majority even if conceded to the Republicans. In Brooklyn the Republicans elected the Mayor, Sheriff, Supervi sor at Large, no Senator, no Assem blymen, ten Supervisors out of thir teen and five Aldermen. Albert Daggett, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Repub lican State Committee said to-day that dispatches from different parts of the State give the Republicans a majority of 5,000. He said the As sembly would be Republican bv about 68 to 60, while the Democrats would gam the benateb y one vote. MISSISSIPPI. New Orleaxs, Nov. 7. Tele grams from nineteen counties on the Mississippi show the Democrats car ried them all except Madison coun ty, where the fusion gains were about 400. Every indication points to the success of the Democratic State ticket by 15,000 to 20,000 ma jority. Natchez, Nov. 0. It is esti mat mated that King, Fusionist, for Gov ernor, carries the county by 680 ma jority. The regular Democratic compromise county ticket is elected by a small majority. Only about half the vote was polled. The box es will not be opened until to-morrow. Specials received by the Herald and Ccmmercial indicate that the State has gone Democratic by 20,000 or 30,000 majority. Nothing has been received from counties north of the Mississippi river. WISCONSIN. Milwaukee, Noy. 9. One hun dred and ninety-one towns and cit ies, including Milwaukee, and em bracing two fifths of the State the interior Republican precincts to hear from,givo a net Democratic gain of 8,298. The Republican vote on the basis of the last Gubernatori al election to overcome is 25,5(10. The Democratic State Central Com mitteee claim a good show to carry the State and claim the State Treas urer, The Republican State Central Committee are positive of the elec tion of the entire Stite ticket by from 2,000to 5,000. Private advices from prominent Republicans in the! interior seem to assure the success of the Republican ticket Returns come iu 6lowly. The entire vote is not over 60 per cent of the usual vote, and the flooded condition of a large portion of the central and northern part of the State is assign ed as a reason. The Prohibitionists have drawn at least twelve or fifteen thousand from the Republican vote. About one halt the State heard from gives a net Democratic gain of about 800. The Republican ma jority to overcome on the basis of figures made is 26.000, so that the Democratic rates of gain would have to be more than double on the bal ance of the State to defeat the Re publican ticket To-night the Re publicans are very confident and Secretary Payne) of the Republican State Central committee, claims the ! State by 7,500. The Democrats claim th,c election of Falk, for Treas urer. Further returns insure the elec tion of the Republican State ticket and th plurality is estimated at not Less tnan b,uuu ns MARYLAND, Baltimore, Nov. 9. Returns from counties up to 2:30 p. m. are still incomplete, but are sufficient to base an estimate of the general result The Republicans gained unexpected victories in several Democratic counties, including Sen ators in Harford. whcr Allen.

In the last Senate there were 7 Republicans and 16 Democrats. Based on the- same es timates the House stands 59 Dem ocrats and 32 Republicans. The Republicans al.-o elected Frederick Stone. Renubliean. for Chief Jndire in the Seventh judicial district ; al so, John D. Brooke, Republican, As sociate Jude for the same district MINNESOTA. Sr. Paul, Nov. 9 Returns from 10G cities, townships and precincts received up to 8 o'clock give Hub bard, Republican, lor Governor, 20, Oft'1, Johnson, Democrat, 11,530. This is a filling otf of 30 to 40 per cent from the vote last year. If other precinct vote in the same proportion Hubbard's majority will be from 20,000 to 23,000. The rest of the ticket is about the same, ex cept that for Supreme Judge, Van Aubrey, Republican, falls 1.000 be hind Hubbard. All the constitu tional amendments of general effect are probably carried. The land bond proposition is probably de feated, as it requires a majority of all the votes. NEBRASKA. Omaha, Nov. 9. Returns come in very slowly. A light vote gener ally was polled for the State ticket, composed of one Judge of the Su preme Court and two University Regents. No special interest wasat- tacned to mat part oi me uckei, as the State is largely Republican, and the Republican candidates were ab solutely certain to be elected by a large majority. Considerable inter est was generally manifested over county officers. Douglas county elected a straight Republican ticket by majorities ranging iromtwo hun dred to fifteen hundred. This is the first time a straight ticket has been elected in this county for several yeaos. II dl county went Republi can for the first time in its history. CONNECTICUT. Hartford, Nov. 9. The Repub licans elected ten or fourteen Sena tors voted for yesterday, giving them seventeen out of twenty-four Sena tors. Last year the Senate stood 16 to o. 1 his year there are three new districts. The House standi, accor ding to current returns, 149 Repub licans. 68 Democrats and 1 Green- backer.

The Dem ocrats gain 3 Senators and the Re publicans one. MASSACHUSETTS. Boston, Nov. 9. With two towns to hear from the total State vote is : Long. 96,582 ; Thompson, 53,558 ; Andrews, 4,775 ; Almy, 1,741. Re counts are ordered of Representa tives' votes in two Middlesex dis tricts. Rnrnlng of the Bethany Orphans . Home. Reading, November 11. Shortly after midnight lire was discovered in the Bethany Orphan's Home at Womelsdorf, and a wild scene of confusion followed. Sixty-five children occupied the dormatories. One of the little orphans, suffering with malarial fever, was awake at the above hour and gave the alarm. The Superintendent and his attend ants were around and seeing that the flames issued from an apart ment in the lower section of the building which was n t in use, they at once concluded that the place had been fired by an incendiary. The children were hastily aroused and safely led into the open air. Many ot them were scantily dressed, and they suffered considerably in the cold night air. The home stands entirely by itself, quite c dis tance from the village, on the edge of a dense woods. It was impossible to extinguish the flames, so much headway had they obtained, and the shivering orphans in tears witnessed the speedy destruction of their home. All the furniture was burned. The loss is estimated at $20,000; insurance about $14,000. The villagers aroused promptly, and wrapping the children in shawls and overcoats, carried thou to their various homes. An examination of the premises showed that the vari ous outhouses had been broken open by thieves during the night, which still further emphasizes the impression of incendiarism. The Home was under the control of the Reformed Church. j Tbe Tax on Whisky. Washington, November 7. The Internal Revenue Bureau docs not favor the proposed reduction of the whisky tax from ninety to fifty cents per gallon. In his forthcom ing report, Commissioner Raum will neither recommend the reduction nor will he advise directly against it He will state the amount of rev enue derived from whisky and that the proposed reduction will cut down the amount without benefiting the producer or consumer. Reve nue officials regard this movement for a reduction as inaugurated whol ly by the middle men, who, they say, would make all the profit ; the whisky trade will also oppose the reduction, as millions ot dollars1 worth of whisky are held in bond. and to reduce the tax would demor alize the trade badly. The Com missioner may in his report point out this effect There will be a de termined effort made to get Con gress to reduce this tax, and it is said a big lobby, with plenty of money, will be here in the interest of the movement The influence of the Treasury and Revenue Bureau will be against a reduction.

And although at this tim.', "when ' the falling leaf admonirfhe in that ; the time of our sacred duty is at : hand, our nation still lies in the shadow of a bereavement and the mourning which has filled our hearts still finds its sorrowful ex pression toward the God before whom wo lately bowed in crief and supplication, yet the countless beno- hts which have bccn,showcrcd down upon us daring the past twelve months call for our fervent gratitude and make it fitting that we should rejoice with thankfulness that the Lord in 1 1 id infinite mercy has most signally favored our country and our people. Peace without and prosperity within have been vouch safed to us. No pestilence has vis ited our shores. The abundant privileges of freedom which our fa thers left us in their wisdom are still onr inoreasing heritage, anl if in parts of our vast domain some affliction has visited our brethren in their forest homes, yet even this ca lamity has been tempered and in a manner sanctified by the generous compassion for the sufferers which has been called forth throughout our land. For all these things it is meet that the voice of the nation should go up to God in devout hom age. Wherefore, I, Chester A.

The new Lord Mayor to-day went in solemn procession to Guild Hall with the usual ancient display, which drew immense crowds of spectators, and with a modern invocation on the programme of honoring the American people which was receiv ed with great enthusiasm. The Stars and stripes were carried in the procession, proceeded by the drum and fife band of the Fourth battal ion of the city of I-ondon militia playing the "SlarSpangled Banner." After a short intcri-u came the band from the trainings !.ip War Spirite, playing "Yankee Doodle." The American flag, as it cuuie ii.to view, was received with a general clap ping of hands and chei rs by the spectators. A great demonstration was made at the American Ex change, on the Strand, where 300 ladies, waved the American colors from the balconies. Among the decorations throughout the city the American Hag was conspicuous, rioted np Dead. Pottsville, November 10. A terrible and fatal accident occurred at Eagle Hill shaft, Schuylkill coun ty, yesterday morning, as the men were going to work. Seven miners were descending the shaft in the cage, when Thomas Cochlin, one of the number, suddenly wavered and fell. His body was thrown head long from tbe cage into the west side of the shaft. In its fall it struck against the top of the ascend ing cage. The unlortunate man was then hurled to the other side of the shaft, down which he fell until he struck the bottom. He was picked up dead. It is supposed that he was suddenly seized with faitness, and becoming too weak to retain his position en the cage, fell from it too suddenly to allow any of his companions to render assistance. The deceased was a married man, and lived at Five Points, thither his mangled remains were carried yes terday. Too Much Sentence. Chicago, November 10. Philip E.

He was twenty-three years of age. $ roni bis entrance into tne prison he appeared to be heart-bro ken, and all efierts to relieve him failed.
