Tibi etanda Pennsylvania. Look at
Ler! Faithful among the faithless. God
bless her.
Beitmb newspapers generally rejoice
over Cleveland's election as meaning tha
downfall of protection and the ultimate
establishment of free trade.
Tbi public dors not know Cleveland's
contract with Tammany. One thing is
sure it was satisfactory to Tammany.
Time will more fully show what it was.
' Thi politicians are busy arranging a
Cabinet for Mr. Cleveland. AVe have an
idea that Grover will attend to that little
matter himself ilhia the next three
months.
tiovEUsou Bo;i still claims that the
hmd in Ioaa ill not pay for cultivation,
but he asked the County Board to pay
j,OX) daiuagc-s for running a railway
through Lis tlkhty-hcie farm.
Tas I'imocraU are so eager to come i
to enjoyment of the spoils that they are
already demanding ofMr. Cleveland that
Le call an extra session of Congress im
mediately after the 4!h of March next.
Tue election on Tut-slay is not the first
instance in which di.ctt-nt has been
taken for patriotism and duty; just as
d-;x-;a and liver trouble are some
times mistaken for religion and change
of heart.
Don't get rsttied '. The UriiT cannot
be changed until the new Congress
meets, which will be mors than a year
from this time. You can take in sail de
liberately, and set your business in order
to meet the eLane.
Thc rooster just now is making a big
ger noise than the eagle. But the eagle
Las U-en there before, and is not roost
inz cn the ground. He was around and
a little discoursed at Ball Run, but he
was alive and ide awake at Appomatox
The eagle is a bird tLat never stays lick
ed very long.
Is the past, this country has t ice ex
perienced the disastrous effects of "a tar
iff for revenue only," and we believs it is
destined to do o sgain. After the third
trial we shall have no msra of frea trade
for a generation at least The old adage
aays, "Experience teaches a dear school,
but fools will learn in no other."
I'aon.E who talk about "the death of
the Republican party," in consequence
of the scrimmage ef last Tuesday, are
weak-headed. A party with such a rec
ord as the Republican party has written
in the Nation's history d'lean't die so ea
sily. It lias written thirty-two years of
successful history and it will write a hun
dred more.
Thb Republican party will lay aside
the responsibilities of oilice with honor,
and challenge the criticism of all ene
mies. N' party ever come into pawer in
any government and found everything
in such apple-pie order as Democracy
w ill find it It is in wonderful contrast
to political conditions which confronted
the Republican party thirty-one years
ago.
Tue next Pennsylvania 5nate will
Lave 3:) Republicans and 17 Democrats,
w hich is enough for all practical purpos
es, and a decided gain. Only one Dema
crat was elected Mr. Green, of Barks,
but it was hardly to be expected that a
Republican couid wia in that county.
The Legislature es a whole will Lave a
Republican majority on joint ballot of S2,
the House having 131 Republicans and
CS Iemocrata.
Oxc thing is certain. The country Las
got along admirably for the past thirty
years under a protection tariff. It is yet
to be tested how it will prosper under an
anti-protection tariff. It the new bant
ling does not die "a horning," let us give
it as fair a trial as the McKinley bill haa
Lad which was just none at all. We
predict, however, that the Damocracy
will not'agree Oj-on a new bill, but just
punch Loles in the presect one by w:y
of experiment.
AMinthe ehouting of the victorious
IVmccrals, it ahoald not be overlooked
that t'ie Republicans have reduced, preb-
ably by one half, tbe Democratic majori
ty in the lb.use of Repreff ntatives. In
stead of one hundred and Cfty majority,
as in the present House, the IV-mocrats
will probably have little more than Lalf
that number in the next Congress, This
larit'ly increased Republican representa
tion is an important item to be consider
ed in summing up tbe results of the late
election.
Wbat isthe rise of wasting time in
speculating over the result of the elec
tion, and guessing at the causes of Re
publican defeat. It is a self evident fact
that we did not lave votes enough, and
all the speculating and ciphering and
guessing in the. world cannot alter the re
sult Remember Eull Run, and then
iLina oi .ippomaiox. iigm years ago
when Mr. Cleveland was first elected, tha
IV-mocrets declared that the Republican
party was iirt-'ritvably roulfd and ruin
ed, and yet in four Li it f years, the tables
were reveised and the Republicans were
restored to power. Stand by your guns,
Republicans. Four years of Democratic
free trade w ill tpen the evea of wage-
earne's who have been led as' ray by de-
mfgogic rcMreprfsecuiioca, a practical
o! ject etfcn tbowing Lew the "poor can
grow poorer" a id be a litter but a mili
tary 1 sson. These who Lave no ears to
l.rar, Laveeya toeee, and experince is
the ktst of teachers.
Having loat the Presidency, it ia not in
oar judgment, an added misfortune that
the Fenate ia also Dt niocratic For mare
than thirty years the Democrats Lae
aiciply plajed the role of obet ruction iats,
evading ail reaponaibiiity an the plea
that the Republican Sknate stood in the
way. It will now become absolutely ne
ceaaary forthm to adopt a definite poli
ay ; there can be no further aubterfuge,
no division of responsibility as during
Mr. Cleveland former term. Coming
into full control af the government they
must meet the expectations of the disap
pointed in evary business and occupa
tion. They mast see that the pri8 of
farm products are ratiEfartory, end the
rate of wagas for labor ia remunerative.
They have earn, d the country on the
cry that under Republican rule the rich
ere irrowini! richer and the poor poorer,
and appealed to every citizen to vote the
Democratic ticket and then oolam ins
"full fchareof the profits." To satisfy the
that thev have benefited by the
change, and that the poor are bacoming
richer, is the Usk the leniocrats have set
for themselvs. Republican principles
are eternally right They have met with
a temporary reverse, but "truth crushed
toaarth will rise again."
Foe thirty years the Republican party
has avoided the destinies of this Nation.
During all that long seriea of years its
prosperity haa been unexcelled, and to
day it stands the foremost of the cations
of the earth. While Republican ruleand
Republican policv was guiding us on our
progressive march to the Lead of the
column, the Democratic party has simp
ly acted as a clog on the wheal of prog
ress, obstructing, retarding And cavilling
at every forward movement. It has sim
ply been a party of negation, a swash
buckler, a picker-up of unconsidered
trifles," a calamity howler, unable to
originate a single measure or policy. 2ow
that the people hive given it power and
made it a ruler over tbe Nation all this
must be changed. It is now beyond the
region of negation, its role of obstruc
tions must be abandoned, it must formu
late a policy, it must reform the abuses,
the calamities, the robberies, the wrongs
over which it has wailed. It must do
better for the people than the Republi
can party has done. It mutt lower the
cost of living, increaeo wages, give the
farmers better prices for their products,
cheaper clothing, and stop all abuses and
wrongs, if it fulfills its promises and
pledges.
There is not a sensible Democrat in
the 'and taat does not know this to be
an impossibility, that does not know that
Ubor was never better rewarded, that
the cost of living and clething was never
cheaper, and that the entire country was
neTer more prosperoes, and yet to im
prove on this state of afliira, to do better,
is wi.at the Democratic party has pledg
ed itself to do. It has promised the mil-lc-nium,
and the people who have listen
ed to it will watch with eager eyes the
dawning of "better days." Every day
and every hour the people will be mak
ing comparisons between the reality and
the promises made; between the days of
Republican rule and Democratic domin
ion, and unleES the day of miracles is re
stored, they are doomed to bitter disap
pointment and a rude awakening from
pleasant dreams. Meanwhile Republi
cans can bide their tu rn.
Reaction.
From the X. Y. Tritan.
Mr. Carter expressed the meauing of the
election returns accurately ia Lis dispatch to
the FicsiJerit The causes of Republican de
feat were uoKhure, un'.eM in California, local
or irs')cal. The Republican candidate was
not op;-o3ej on j roJi.Jj relating to himself.
Democrats generally concede the parity and
strength of President Harrison'i character,
his disiineuixlied ability, and his admirable
record as an Executive. Nor is blame to be
imputed to political leaders or committees
Tbe Republican campaign haa been free from
scandais and li jrehardiims. Tbe party has
been completely beaten, and the manner of
its det at proves conclusively that there is a
popalar reaction ayaiust its progressive poli
cies. In one of hij famous quorum debates Mr.
Reed, of Maine, mad a phraia which is
both true and instructive. '"The average
st-nseof all," he said, " ia bcttar for all than
in best sense of any." It was on this theory
that our Government was founded, and it is
oue that all classes of the people can alord
to tie to. The great measures enacted by the
51st Congress, aad put into execution by
President Harrison, bare resulted in advant
ages both general and splendid. But it is
evident that a majority of- tbe people think
otherwise, and until they are afforded tbe
opportunity of contrasting the conditions
that will follow tbe enactment of Democratic
policies with those existing to-day, they will
not be content We think we know the
feeling such a contrast w ill produce. Free
Trade and State bonk currency are sure to
bring industrial aud commercial disasters
widespread and vast But tbe people de
mand that the results of such policies shall
be actually expressed in fact aad the party
to which they have delivered that commis
sion will have no excuse for avoiding its
clesr duly.
Republicans w ill await the event philo
sophically. Tuey deliver into Democratic
control a land of unparalleled prosperity. It
is twice as populous as when they under
took its government They have brought it
in every branch of production to th first
rank among the civilized States of tbe world.
It U first in agriculture, first ia mauufact
ure, first ia mining. Thay took it with a
Treasury bankrupt and a Union shattered.
They surrender it with its authority-reestablished,
settled from coast to coast,
twelve hundred millions of debts paid, and a
credit that enables it to refund its bonds at
a lover rate of interet than has ever been
obtained in the history of National finance,
lis people are everywhere profitably employ
ed. It is literally a land ovsrilowing with
prosperity. If these are not the direct frutia
of llepubl:ca!i pjliue?, the man who under
takes to attribute tue:u to another cause
ruiK'at .least, bvgia his task with the con
cession that they ha7 been continuously
c.!iiste!it with the operation of those poli
cies. What 'the reaction will bring absut
w e shall soon realize.
It la England's Victory Also.
The greatest enthusiasm over tbe success
f.f tbe Cleveland and free trade ticket ap
pears to be in Eng'ar d. The New York free
traders cannot riv! the British free traders
ia loud and persistent spp'.ause of tbe free
trade candidate. A dispatch from London
said :
There is evtrywhere great enthusiasm ov
er the result of the American election. Ad
vices Irom n ales stale that the tin plate
worsens nela a jubilee, anil at iiraUTord ma
ny remained up until late yesterday morn
ing waiting to tiear the figures from Ameri
ca, mere has not been such excitement in
a Ion" time in tbe industrial centersol Urrat
lintain. At Glasgow. Bellas: and other in
dustrial centers there is general rejoicing
ovrr the prospect of the L'niled Suites being
ojfneu lor more noerai 11 not tree trade.
Tbe Jawrt (IjuHt; a leading Tory or
gan, decirea :
The English may be content for tLe pres
ent. Thev know that the prtv which
cpenly ooested tbat it would ruin our man
ufactures, and which conferred high honors
en Patrick Egan, has sustained a shattering
ue.jeju.
The rail Ma!! Ga:rtte tells the British
public tbat "Mr. Blaine's shameful attempt
to rouse the animosity of Irish Americans
arainst Great Britain has fallen fiat and has
profited him nothing. There may even be
some hope for Tammany Ball."
Tba Ixnaon S)tr tayi tLat tba news will
be received with undisguised pleasure wher
ever McKinlevism has a blighting effect up
on trade.
It is England's victory. It is the victory
of the British manufacturer over tha Amer
ican manufacturer and wage earner, and
the Euglibh Dewsipers hasten to remind us
of the fact, which will become more evi
dent when the Democracy will have taken
full charge of tbe national government .V.

The Prealdent Not Disturbed.
The President gives no indication whatev
er of disappointment or chagrin at the reault
of tbe election. He was undoubtedly the
calmest person in tha houe and observed hia
customary routine as though nothing nnns
ual bad eccurred. As one f his friends ex
pressed it : He will lay down the cares cf of
ficial life without the least personal regret
and seek tbe more congenial seclusion of
private life with undisguised satisfaction.
Tbe President gave cp the election when
he heard from Illinois, remarking : "If Illi
nois has gone Democratic that settles it."
Plans for next spring are already being
discussed by President Harris-.n and his
family. Tbcre will probably be a general
breaking cp and separation of the family.
The President will return to Indianapolis
and make his home there for the future. It
ia probable tbat Mr. Russell Harrison and
his wife will reside in Indianapolis also,
making their home with General Harrison.
Mrs. McKee, with little Benjamin and little
Mary, will go to Boston after March 4. Mr.
McKee has established himself in business
there and has built a house. General Harri
son may make them a visit in the spring.
Dr. Scott, Mrs. Harrison's father, will live
with the President. Mrs. Dimruick will re
main in Washington with Lieutenant and
Mrs. Parker.
Clarkeon Reviews tha Result.
Pes Moi5s, Iowa, Xov. 10 The Rtj'ttr
received after miduight a twelve-hundred-word
letter by wire.from James S. Clarkson,
now in New York.
He reviews the result of the election, and
makea some ratber startling remarks upon
it. He admits that the Democrats have car
ried tbe United States Senate and for tbe
first time in thirty-six years will have com
plete control of the government. To this
verdict he says .
" It ia an order from the American people
for a change in the industrial and economic
polioy of tba government." He charges that
the Republican party has lost strength and
votes among the rich or among the people
of independent means who now want cheap
labor; also among tbe worklngmen, who
have come to believe that free trade will
cheapen their expense of living, while the
system of trades unions will still keep up
their wages.
Ae says : " The result is not a personal de
feat of President Harrison, nor really a de
feat of the party. It is a protection defeat, a
repudiation of high tariff, a Republican re
verse in a C!d where it pit aside all tba
nobler issues and staked everything on the
economic aud mercenary issue."
An Extra Session
The probability of an extra session of
Congress immediately following tbe inaug
uralion of the President-elect ia cow tbe
subject of general conversation iu Washing
ton. A special session of the Senate is al
ways called at the beginning of a new ad
ministration, to confirm tbe members of tbe
Cabinet and the new diplomatic representa
tives of the United States abroad. But tbe
present election having tnrned on question a
of domestic policy, it is said to be obviou s
to experienced political leaders of all parties
that ao extra session of both houses of Con
grass will almost inevitably result. Secrets
ry of tba Treasury Foster, among others, ad
mits this. The country, he says, challeng
ed the judgment of tbe Republicans on tbe
McKinley bill, and the result must be ac
cepted aa the will of tha people that a differ
ent policy shall be put into effect. Ex-Secretary
Bayard writes to a friend to like ef
fect. "Not Votes Enough."
A reporter asked Seaator Quay what he
thought of the result and ha replied that it
was awfal.
'"How do you account for it ? '
" We had not votes enough," was the re-
p!y-
"How do you account for that?"
"I have nothing to say."
When the reporter said be would like to
bave Senator's Quay 'a opinion aa to tbe cause
of the de feat the junior Senator repeated
that be bad nothing to aay.
At this juncture Collector Cooper said :
"They had better organisation than we in
tbe close States. All you hare to do is to
look at Pennsylvania, Ohio and Massa
chnsetta, where we expended no money.
"The sentiment of tba people - in tbose
States ia all right. Tbe result shows that.
We gave attention to Kew York, Indiana,
Connecticut and Kew Jersey, and we were
beaten for organisation In those States."

DIES WHILE DRUNK.
And la Carried to a Neighboring
Barn Where Ha Expires.
From tbe Lancaster Inquirer.
A terrible affair ia reported from Manor
township, near tbe village of Masonville.
On Saturday evening a boisterous party of
serensders visited tbe home ofBenj.S. Frey
a well-known citizen, anil tendered tbat
gentleman a caiathumpian serenade in hon
or of his marriage. A niong the aerenaders
was Harry KautTman, aon of Joseph Kauff
man, a boy of 19. The crowd was treated
to a large quantity of whiskey, of which
all partook liberally, the result being tbat a
number, among them young Kauffman, be
come helplessly drunk.
Ia this condition he was taken to (he barn
of J. Haldeman II err and laid upon the
hay. Hare he waa permitted to remain
alone and on Sunday morning when the sta
ble was visited the young man was found to
be dead. During tbe night he had rolled on
hia face and suffocated.
Tbe Coroner'a jury rendered a verdict of
death from suffocation while intoxicated.
Murphy for Senator.
A great sensation was caused among the
politicians here to-night by tbe authorized
announcement that Edward Murphy, Jr.
of Troy, the chairman of tha Democratic
Stats Committee, would be a candidate for
United States Senator to auccesd Frank
Uiscock. Charles R. Deforest, tbe secretary
of tha Democratic State Committee, and a
fellow-townsman of Mr. Murphy, male the
announcement. Lieutenant Governor Shee-
ban, who has bean supposed to be an aspi
rant, col firmed the news. He said : I am
enthusiastically in favor of Mr. Uurpby'a
election as Senator, lie deserves sny office
within the gift of the Itomocratic party- I
predict that there will be no opposition to
him within the party. Governor Flower
will not be a candidate for Senator."
Richard Croker, the leader of Tammany
Hall, confirmed tbe news. He is a close
personal friend of Mr. Murphy. "There will
be no candidate from tbia city agaisst Mr.
Murphy," said Mr. Crokwr.
Tbe Democrats have a majority in tbe
Legislature ef more than 20.
Tha Callowa Cheated.
Allittows, Xov. 10. Murderer Wra. F.
Keck, wbcee exeration was fixed for te dsy,
wns found dead in the call this morning.
Everything was ready for tbe hanging to
day the gallowa was in position, the rope
greased and faataned, gallows tested. Keek's
new suit was in his cell and tickets of ad
mission given out to about IU0 persona in
cluding visiting slier 1 Stand commissioners
from neighboring couatiee, but Keck cheat
ed ths-jrallewa and ticket-holders. U.a
lonely death in hia call stopped the opera
tion of tbe Is w, and tbe gallows was taken
down unsatisfied.
Tbe doctors who made the post mortem
examination fonnd no traces of poisoning
and swore it waa nervous exhaustion. The
coroner's jury wss empanelled and, after
hearing" other witnesses, inclnding the prison
officials, returned thia verdict : "That tbe
cause of death was nervous exhaustion, su
perseded by the fear aud terror of tbe imaai
nent exarntion."
All day Keck paced hia cell, crying : ''I
swear before God that I never murdered
Mra. Xipecb." Tba relatives took charge of
tbe murderer's body, and tbe people who
held parses to the banging were very mnch
chagrined tbat they had been robbed of the

Trouble Brewing ia Alabama.
Momjojurt, Ala., Xov. 14. Tbe Ala
bama Legislature meeta to-morrow, and
among the members already arrived, Kolb's
declared purpose to be inaugurated Governor
of Alabama ia freely discussed. Tbe Kolb
members refuse to divulge their plans, but
claim tbat tiiey have perfected plans to seat
Kolb. He ia very strong among the mem
hers of tbe Far men' Alliance and the State
convention of that body, representing a
thousand lodges in tbe Slate of Alabama,
baa already adopted a resolution that mem
bers of tbe Alliance will pay no State taxes
to tbe Jones Government, if Jones is inau
gurated. Captain Kolb carried a large ma
jority of the white counties in the State,
and his followers seem determined to seat
bim. He was counted out by 10,000 majori
ty, but nobody of intelligence now denies
that he was honestly elected by at least
twice tbat majority. He and his followers
have ample proof of this, but if they persist
in their light to seat him it is certain to re
sult in bloodshed and general disorder.
War Horaas In tha Legislature.
Of the 204 members of the assembly elect
ed last Tuesday 73 have already served
in tbe last Legislature. Fity-one of these
are Republican and 27 Democrate. There
will be some regular old timers in the Legis
lature. Chief among these is Uncle John
Cessns, of Bedford He served in the lower
House in 150 and in 1962, and was Speak
er in both sessions. He waa then a Democrat.
Ex Auditor-General Xilea, of Tioga County,
is a verteran. There will be four ex-Speakera
in the House. They are Cessna, B. L. Hewitt,
of Blair; B. K. Foyer, of Philadelphia and C.
C. Thompson, of Warren. George V. Law
rence, who waa in tbe Assembly in 1343,
afterward presided over tbe Senate and was
elected to tbe Lower House in Washington.
"Sam" Loecb, the Schuylkill County war
horse, and ex-Sheriff W. R. Leeds, of Phila
delphia, will also cnt prominent figures on
tbe Republican aide.
Among the Democrats, Samuel Wherrey of
Cumberland, Capt Skinner, of Fulton; Wal
ter E. Ritter, of Lycoming, aad John Fow, of
Philadelphia, were leaders at the last ses
sion and all will be back in their old seats.
As yet there seems to have been nj one
settled upon for speaker.
Wi'.nessee testified tbat young William
Wolf, of Xorristown, Pa , stole a team of
ho rsea seven times.
There ia a lively row in tbe Welah Cburch,
