The Somerset Herald. EDAED BCULL, Editor and Proprietor. WEDNESDAY. .Korember 12, 1S84. The "Lost Cause" has been found. Have the kickers made boiling respectable ? As goes Pennsylvania so doesn't go the Union. Nn En pay die boys! Pick your flints and try it again. There will be a large crop of can didates for postmasterships the com ing springy The St. John folly has set back the temperance cause at least a quarter of a century. It was a pretty close call for Mr. Cleveland, only 1,149 plurality in the State of New York. Mr. Robert Garkett was last week elected President of the Balti more and Ohio Railroad. They are hanging St John in ef figy in all parts of the country. A sinful waste of old clothes. Fi LTos is the only county in the State, in which not a vote was cast for Ben Butler Bully boys ! The Republicans who "would rather be licked with Blaine than succeed with another candidate" have been gratified. u You've had your vengeance, and that's enough for you," say the Democrats to the Independents, and that is all they will get. Two years ago Cleveland carried the State of New York by a majority of 192,000; this year he carries it by 1,100. Is any comment on his per sonal strength necessary ? Cleveland says he is not '"much of a chopper." Perhaps so.but there are plenty of expert choppers in his party who will insist on his trying his hand on official necks. The Philadelphia A ice says with positiveness that the Republican National Committee " turned a deaf ear to the most promising overtures: $10,000 would have put St. John out of the way.' A srEciAL election has been order ed in the Adams County district on the 23d of December, to fill the va cancy caused by thedeath,last week, of Congressman William A. Dun can, of Gettysburg. A few of our contemporaries are already boosting Blaine as their can dinate for 1SS8. Better let our broken heads scab over, before pre paring to butt them again against the same stone wall. The Southern Democratic jour nals areue with force, that having beaten the giant of the Republican party, there is nothing to fear in the future, if the coming administration is prudent and vigorous in its char ter. The Utica, N. Y., Observer, counts up JKJ.OOO office holders, a large ma jority of them postmasters, who are subject to removal, and may be re placed by Democrats. Our brother is evidently hungry and dry and im patient The New York Post says, The Independent Republicans of the country have elected Grover Cleve land President The point is eo clear that nobody can' question it. The narrowness of the majority in the State emphasizes it."' Mr. Carl Schcrz, and other emi nent Independents are very busy just now assuring the country that Cleveland " will faithfully carry out the civil service law." We have not observed however that the President elect has said "Turkev once." It is asserted that the official count in Chicago gives the Denio- : i i often votes over Lemon (Repub.) I This will make the Legislature Dem- ocratic on joint ballot by one vote and will insure the election of a Dem- ocratic U. S. Senator to secceed Gen - eral Logan, whose term expires on the 4th of Murch next. " " ' A standing complaint of the Dem- ua8 utw w numoer oi uovernmeni oiuces. Now that they have succeeded to power, it will be interesting to watch the hungry and thirsty patriots change their tune, and gnash their teeth because there are not enough places io go around. It was the Solid South and New York city that elected Cleveland. The Democrats of Pennsylvania, Ohio and other Republican States must stand back from the first (able. until the Solid South has had pick i a most flatterinS and Pific Irom and choice of the dainties. The ,ee lo UtnT' Ward Beecher that he crumbs will have to Fuffice those who had no electoral votes to de liver. These Democratic neighbors of ours Are a queer set of fellows.! They were worse whaled in the County, in the Congressional district, and in the State than they ever were, &nd yet tbey axe as jolly as mud J ttKlie, because iboy were saved a j whaling in tbe .Union ly a handful I of Independent kickers. After being in the wilderness for twenty-ibi'.r years, it is but natural, however, that tbey should rejoice over the 2m ray of sunshine. U hope they will enjoy their roast beef, and may good digestion wait upon their appe-lite. It is worthy of being noted just now, that in ull Pennsylvania there was not a single Stalwart Republican who opposed Mr. Blaine. lie re ceived their earnest and hearty sup port, notwithstanding the fact that attempts were made to discredit their loyalty to him, by his super- serviceable friends. The scramble for office under Cleveland will be the fiercest ever witnessed in this country. Out of pewer for twenty-four years, the De mocracy now comes back ravenous ly hungry and furiously eager for the spoils. That the leaders under stand the temper of their partisans, is attested by the fact that they are already protesting to the public, that the President elect will adhere to the civil service rules, but he will be no more able to withstand the pressure, than, he would to dam Niagara with a seine. He must make a clean sweep of all Republi cans in office, or his party will turn upon and rend him. "To the vic tors belong the spoils," is the ancient Democratic doctrine. And the men who elected Grover Cleveland will exact from him a liberal compliance with it. For solid brazen cheek, the kick ers are entitled to the belt We are led to this conclusion from the fact that several of the organs of the kick ers that did all in their power to de leat General Beaver in 1SS2, are now advocating his election to the Unitr ed States Senate, and their brethren in New York are suggesting a combi nation with the Democrats by which Roscoe Conkling will be returned to the Senate This exhibits cheek of the hardest kind, but beneath it lies an attempt to steal from the regular Republicans the fruits of their victory. In New York the Republicans have control of the next Legislature, and conse quently the power to select a U. S. Senator, but if a combination could be made between the Democrats.and a sufficient number of kickers in that bodv to elect Mr. Conklinjr, of course the power would be stolen away from the regulars, and they would be prevented from securing the success of their own chosen can didate. So here in Pennsylvania; it is pretty generally conceded that Mr. Cameron should be his own succes sorand this feeling is largely due to the outrageous abuse showered upon him by the kickers two years ago and the suggestion of General Beaver as a candidate by the men who vilified and defeated him is merely an attempt to sow dissension in our ranks in the coming Legisla ture. There never was a fairer nom ination made, than was that of Gen eral Beaver for Governor, and it was endorsed by a vast majority of the Republicans of the State at the polls. Nevertheless he was defeated by tboEe who now profes a desire to gee him sent to the Senate. The Republicans of the State will de mand his re-nomination at the next Gubernatorial Convention, and then these kickers who profess such an admiration for him now,will have an opportunity to prove their sincerity. Since the election of Cleveland has been assured, it is amusing to observe the decided change that has taken place in the tone of most of the Democratic organs in regard to the Independents whom they used as a cat's paw to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for the Democratic monkey. They now demand with great vehemence, and a considerable show of temper that the Cleveland administration shall consist exclu sively of fossil Democrats whose ti tle cannot be disputed ; and in order to secure this, they are busily en gaged in supplying him with lists of ancient members of the party from which to make selections. The New York World apparently thinks that a liberal supply of taffy is all that is necessary to clear off scores with these allies of its party, and ac cordingly says : u They are men of " ideas, and prefer ideas to offices " and principles to patronage. They " do not want office from Cleveland " because he is & Democrat, and "they are not of his party. What ' they want is clean government, tariff reform, tc, fcc." The llarritiburg Patriot conde- scendingly pats them on the back, and graciously savs j u It U to the credit of the indepen- 1 dents that no conspicuous repre- (seutative of that element in the late j contest has asked for reward. As a I rule the body of voters who left the j republicaa r,arty bccauge lhey were repelled by the bad record of James G. Blaine art not of the kind tha determine their political action oy mercenary considerations. Never theless if President Cleveland would call some of them to the discharge of official duties they would undoubt edly yield to a sense of the resuonsi- j oility of good citizenship."

How very liberal these lordly eld Democrats are to the menials who j drew their ass out of the pit for them ! Their labor shall be their sufficient reward but no offices and when they look at their share, they are as much disgusted as was the Indian, when tbe result of a days hunt a Ittrkey and a buzzard came to be divide with his white partner. :., il . " The negroes of ihe South are pan ic stricken at the return of the De mocracy to power. They have be- come possessed with the idea that tbey will be deprived of their civil right and possibly of their freedom, and in their fright they are endanger ing the peace of Southern society. Speaking of this condition of affairs, Mr. Cleveland has expressed his as tonishment that the freedmen are apprehensive at the prospect of Democratic rule; Whereupon the Philadelphia North American asks. Bat why should he be astonished? And answers its own query as fol lows: He ought not to be astoaished that the restoration of the Democ racy begets apprehensiveness among the freedmen of the old slave belt We invite him to take up the his tory of his party. He will then learn that for thirty years his party was the bulwark ot the institution of slavery. He will find its first crooking of the pregnant hinges f the knee to the oligarchy of the compromise of 1832-33. He will find about that time the 6lave power submitted its ultimatum to his party, and that ultimatum was unquestioning subservience. If he care to pursue the quest further, he will find his party yielding such subservience to the oligarchy in legislation adverse to the growth of industry, in declaring war against Mexico, and the subsequent exten sion of the slave area by purchase. He will find his party eager to ac cede to the demand of the slave power that the entire body of north ern citizens should become a con stabulary for the apprehension and return of fugitive slaves to their loathsome bondage. And he will find the leaders of his party, north and south, framing the Kansas-Nebraska act, by which the right of slavery to follow the flag was intend ed to be established. Pasting over a few years, during which time his party hunted men and women like hounds, he will arrive at the crisis of 1SC1, in which the real leaders of his party organized and carried, in so far as they were able, a great conspiracy to establish an empire, the basic principle of which was the right of capital to own and buy and sell la bor. Passing to 1SC3, when the ringing proclamation of emancipa tion echoed around the world and won the applause of the listening nations, he will find the leaders of his party denouncing Lincoln as a usurper, aid the enfranchising vote as the tocsin of war upon the Con stitution itself Later, when the people demanded such a change of the organic law as snouia iorever nrnhihit chattel slaverv within her borders, he will find the leaders of his party united in a loud protest against "the change which would make liberty universal. Later, when it was proposed to forbid the reimbursement of slave orners of their ill-gotten gains, he will find the leaders of his party resisting that righteous penalty, tooth and nail. When it was proposed to establish universal suffrage, the leaders of his party denounced and resisted that And he will find that hi nartv has onnosed everv K j . - constitutional guaranty by which the slave ot yesterday is assured oi his freedom as a citizen to-day. If Governor Cleveland is aware of these irrefutable facts of history, we are the more astonished that he should confess to astonishment, that the freedmen are filled with gloomy apprehensions at the restor ation of the Democracr. Even the negroes of the south are aware of the facts we have stated. GLEANINGS. Unkind Questions. From the Richmond, Vs., lltspateh (Dem.) With Tlie New Yorh Herald, The Time, The Nation, The Evening Pod, and Harper'' Weekly, all sup posed to be papers of no little influ ence, supporting him, Cleveland re ceived in New York City and Brook lyn, counted together, almost identi cally the eame majority less the St John vote which Hancock received in the same cities four years ago. Where were all the Independents mugwumps? Where on election day was the influence of the papers we have named? Echo answers where? Tbe Hero and Giant of tbe Republi can Party. From the Atlanta Constitution (Dem.) The whole truth is, James G. Blaine was the most popular man in the Republican party. He was the idol of the younger men of the party ; he was Garfield's heir ; and his own great qualities as a speaker and a politician inspired all his followers with hope. We have beaten, in oth er words the hero and giant of the Republican party, and if wisdom and prudence and vigor character ize the incoming Democratic admin istration we need not fear any nom inee that can be named by the op position in 16SS. Difficult Questions that Won't bo Answered. Bucynii (Ohio) Junanal. The official vote of Mississippi has been published as follows: Dem ocratic, 78,547, Republican, 42,774. It thus appears that while the total voting population cf Miss, is 2ob- 532 the total vote cast is only 121, 351. not even equal to the colored voters in the State and but 2,055 more than one-half the vote in the State; what a commentary on a fair election in a State where Judge Chisholm and his little eon were murdered, although safe in a jail, and where the murder of Matthews was rewarded the next week with an office. How can the President and Senate of this Nation permit the Government to be seized by such means? How can the news papers be silent and acquiesce io such crimes being permitted to se cure such results as the usurpation of the Government of this Nation? Illinois Legislature. Democratic. Chicago, Nov. J8.

The managers say they greatly regret the step, but see no alternative. They employ in all about 800 hands, and thonn not discharged will be on half time. Condemning th Solid South. Cincinnati, November 19. The Commercial Gazette to-day introdu ces the acsountof Mr. Blaine's speech in Augusta last night with a double leaded editorial which says : Mr. Blaine's speech in Augusta last Bight is one of that will impress upon the country the extent of the misfortune in having the Solid South with the European oity of New York and its immediate surroundings, surprising the Government There was no man to whom the American people in this hour would listen with such interest as to James G. Blaine, and his speech, raising the "primal question of American man hood," was the key note to the poli tical music of the future, lhis is not the time when Republicans should crawl upon their bellies, as some of our alleged business men want them to do. It is the time to walk erect and confront the boasters and the bulldozers with the assur ance that the presumption that the election of a president by a scratch of one twelfth of one per cent in one State puts down forever the party of American nationality, is a delusion. Quoting a dispatch from Rich mond, Virginia, about the Democrat ic jubilee there yesterdav, the article continued : Who does not know that this means that the Confederates are re joicing over 'Appomattox avenged,' as they are pleased to describe their victory, lhose who wish to make haste to prostrate themselves before these war whoopers may do so, and become their white niggers, but 'the manhood of the North will hail the speech of James G. Blaine last night with cheers that 6hall ring and echo over the Republican States that with the exception of the black spots at the mouth of the Hudson and the Wabash make white and radiant the whole majestic space between the seas. A Democratic Wail Cincinnati, November IS. The Entjuirer jumped on Senator Pen dleton to-day with the following double-leaded editorial: "Already there is much speculation among Democrats in Ohio and other states as to President Cleveland's Cabinet But there is greater activity among a large class of Democratic politi cians who have been loyal in season and out, and who labored year af ter year to bring about the victory which has finally perched upon the banners of the triumphant Democra cy. This class of faithful Demo crats expect the rewards of office, hope to secure these rewards and are actively ergaged in enlisting such influence as will aid them to secure the ends of their ambition. To this class of deserving Democrats we w?h to say, that, under the Civil Service act of Hon. George H. Pendleton, you are excluded from participation In the public service. Thousands already In office and who have been there for years, will remain until re moved by death or for cause. "For you Democrats who seek recognition in the humblest offices this victory has been a barren one, thanks to the efforts of Senator Pen dleton. President Cleveland, being an henest, sturdy Democrat, would like to appoint honest, worthy Dem ocrats, no matter how meagre in ed ucation they might be ; but a Re publican Senate, with the Pendleton bill as a club, will be able to suc cessfully check him. Owing to the provisions of this English act to cre ate an office-holding class, we Bay to a great class of eager and expec tant Democrats : 'Don't build your hopfe too high, for blessed are those who expect nothing, for they shall not be disappointed " Tbe President's Aspiration. The Washington Star of last night 6aid: "An intimate friend of Presi dent Arthur, who is perfectly famil iar with New York politics, said to day that he has information which satisfies him that Mr. Arthur will haye the support of his party friends in the New York Legislature if he desires to succeed Mr. Lnpham in the U. S. Senate. He thinks that Cockling has no chance of again entering the Senate, and believes that he has no desire to re-enter public life. An attempt to effect a fusion of the Stalwarts and Demo crats would fail. He says he thinks, judging from conversations he had with the President some time ago, that he does not desire to retire from public life, and that he would accept the Senatorship and will be a candidate before the Republican National Convention in 1SS8." Indian Raid In Texas. Big Springs, Nov. 18. A band of Chiricahua Indians yesterday raided the ranch in Presido county, murdered Mr. and Mrs. Petty, and carried three children into captivity. The band is composed of about fifty Indians, who are terrorizing the country and destroying prop erty as they pass through. A scout ing party under Lieutenant Eggle ston has left Camp Pera, in Presido county, in pursuit of the Indians. Later information from the interior states the children were also mur dered, but this is not yet confirmed. A mining engineer named Coband, encamped near Petty ranch, is mis sing. Heavy Order Countermanded. Boston, November 21. Notices were posted last week in the shops m Hopedale that, owing to general dulless in business, it might be necessary to make ageneral cut-down and the help were advised if they could obtain jobs at the same pay they are now getting to accept them. Tbe shops exclusively manufacture cotton machinery, employing sever al hundred hands. It is understood these notices are the result of heavy orders being countermanded re cently. xncj Will Remember Grover. Erie, Nov. 18. An accident oc curred here to-night during the Democratic procession in honor of Cleveland, A large can of explo sives was struck opposite tbe Lie'.iel House, and the explosion shattered the hotel front and gutted the stores on each side of State street in the block. The procession had just passed. A few momenta sooner and a fearful fatality would have re- s u ilea, rour persons only are wounded. A Sptwlal Congressional Elector. Hakrisburq, November 20.

Mr. Cleveland may not have occasion to use the elegant apartments reserv ed for him at the Arlngton Hotel. It can be stated on good tiiority that Mr. Arthur has invi ed the President-elect to mrke .(-. head quarters at tbe White House when he reaches the Capital. This is continuing a precedent established by President Hayes. Mr. Hayes invited General Garfield to the White House, and also gave a din ner in his honor the night before his inauguration. Mr. Arthur is making arrangements to give Mr. Cleveland a dinner. Mr. Cleveland has as yet given no indication of his acceptance ot tbe invitation, but bis friends accept for him in ad vance and say the President-elect is greatly pleased at Mr. Arthur courtesy. There are a few Republi cans who are inclined to resent Mr. Arthur's course, and a few Demo crats who think that Mr. Cleveland cannot afford to accept the hospi tality of a Republican President Happily the number is not very large on either side. The majority of the Republicans applaud Mr. Arthur's determination, and not many Democrats will find fault with Mr. Cleveland for accepting an invitation eo generously offered- An Insane Woman's Ieap Moberlv, Mo., Nov. 20. Mary Newcomb, an insane woman., a pas senger on the cannon-balJ train bound for Kansas City, last night suddenly sprang from her seat while the train was at full speed between here and Brunswick, and, carrying her two babes with her, jumped from the train. The train wa9 stopped, and the mother was found stunned and unconscious, with .the babies quietly toddling about her entirely unhurt. The mother, when restored to con scioutness, said that she was the daughter of a wealthy citizen of Leavenworth, Kan., and that ner maiden name was Maggie Ferrel. In 18G1 she eloped with her music teacher, Augustus Newcomb, and married him. Her father caat her off. Her husband failed to support her and took to drink. She left him in Mississippi and was on her way home. It was while brooding over the uncertainty of the reception she would receive from her father that she jumped from the train. Kindness from the passengers and a welcoming telegram from her father have cheered up the unfor tunate woman. A Theatre Burned. St. Louis, Nov. 23. The Grand Opera-house on Market street, be tween Fifth and Sixth, was burned this afternoon. The loss is from $12,000 to $150,000. The fire broke out in the front part of the basement and ascended by the stairway to the roof and thenco scat tered all over the building, and in the course of three hours the beau tiful theatre was one mass of ruins, nothing being left but the bare walls, and one of them i partially destroyed. Nat Goodwin's compa ny was to open to night, and all their baggage was in the house, but the fire starting in the front part of the building gave the company ample time, and they saved all their property. John W. Norton, the manager, was not bo fortunate. His entire wardrobe and valuable actors' library were destroyed. His loss is about $7,000. Insurance on thearte about $50,000. A F'mal Turkey Hunt. CosselI-sville, Nov. 19. Liml sy Murry, Jake McFarland and F. T. Browning to-day went hunting for wild turkeys near Ohio Pyle. About 5 o'clock they all returned except McFarland, who had strayed away alone. Seven o'clock came and still he had not returned. lie coming alarmed, his friends went in search of him, and after two hours of diligent exploration, with the aid of lanterns, they discovered him lying dead near a large rock with a gunshot wound in his head. It is supposed he was on the rock taking a survey of the situation, when he accidentally discharged his gun, which lay near by loaded with heavy turkey shot The charge passed through his head. It must have killed him instantly. A Bars Hreti by Trampa. Pottstown, Pa., Nov. 20 About four o'clock this afternoon the large stone barn and contents on the farm of Jonas D.Smole in Ches ter county, two miles south of Potts town, was destroyed by what is supposed to have been an incendi ary fire. Mr Smole's house was en tered by burglars last night, but they were driven away and it is thought they revenged themselves by firing his barn. A couple of tramps were arrested this evening charged with being the incendiaries and taken before a Chester county Justice for a hearing. Loss on Mr. Smole's property, about fourthous and dollars. Philadelphia Carpet Mill Cloved. Philadelphia, Nov. 21. Nearly all the ingrain carpet mills closed to-day, owing to the refusal of tbe power loom weavers to accept the proposed reduction of wages of 10 to 20 per cent. The few mills which did not make a reduction of wages, and which are running to day, are, however, all working with reduced forces and on short time. The weavers deprecate any incendi ary action. An arbitration com mittee has been appointed lo wait I upon the manufacturers and request j tne withdrawal ol the notice ot re duction. The Knights of Labor are seeking to have the weavers unite with them. Barn Burning. Hontingon, Pa..
