"THAT SAME OLD COOIM !"
' Has Gone Into His Hole.
Tbe following article from the Pitta
burgh Commercial Gazette eo aptly
'fits our case aud meets our views, tbat
we giro it space. We will say, bow
ever, that tbe Coon still chuckles over
tbe magnificent victory won in bis own
couuty, which ho thinks is a matter
for congratulation and rejoicing to his
party. But here is the Coon's little
eay :
That "same old Coon" which has
greeted the readers of the Commercial'
Gazette with the tidings of victory en
so many occasions in the past has to
acknowledge defeat at last, and "comes
down" with the best grace imaginable.
Before retiriug from iis familiar perch
and withdrawing for a brief period
from the public gaze, the Coon wishes
to indulge in a few words at parting.
In the first place, it offers no apology
for holding out while there was a ray
of hope of success. It has always been
characteristic of the Coon never to
surrender until the battle wus com
pletely lost. In the second place, the
Coon has no fault to find with the
managers of the canvass, believing
jhat they made the best fight which
was possible under the circumstances.
And in the third place, tbe Coon is
more than satisfiee with the splendid
leadership of Mr. Blaine, whose cam
paign was without a flaw, und ought
to have won bin a glorious victory.
The Coon does not propose to in
dulge in vain regrets or bitter upbraid
ing, but it is compelled to express its
great surprise and disappointment that
o many Republicans who professed
to seek what is pure iu morals and
honest in politics should reject the
candidates of their own party and the
aepreseotaties of their own principles
and rush to the support of Cleveland
and Democracy ! If that is tbe Mug
wump method of promoting moral
purity and political honesty, the Coon
has no further use for the Mugwump.
; The Coon was equally surprised and
disappointed at the folly of those Re
publicans who thought they were do
ing God's service by voting for St.
John. If the Mugwumps erred egreg
iously in their efforts to promote civil
eercice reform by voting for Cleveland
what fatuity seized upon those who
sought to advance the cause of temper
ance by restoring the Democratio par
ty to power? Iu the honest opinion
of the Coon it was the Mugwunp and
t the Prohibition cranks, aided by Free
;Trade Republicans, under various
guises, who turned victory into defeat.
jThe Coon has always been able to
come out on top in an even encounter
l)th whole coopfuls of old Bourbon
(roosters, notwithstanding tbe odds of
a solid South against it at tbe atart,
but when it has to fight its cwn pro
Jessed friends under such deceptive
'disguises as Curtis-ism, Beecherism,
Schurzisra, Mugwumpism and Prohi
.bitiouism, it has to "come down."
And now, in bidding adieu to its
friends and admirers for a little
. while, the Coon wishes to impress
upon them this important truth: The
Republican, party, although defeated, is
tlrong and vigorous as it ever was,
Those principles which bave prevailed
in tbe Government for tbe last twen
ty-four years are still endorsed by i
.majority of the American people, and
will shine all the brighter whenever
they come in contrast with the poli
cies of the Democratic party. One
; has only to look at tbe extraordinary
revolution in New York, Peonsylva
Jiia, Ohio, and other great States, dur
ing tbe past two years, in order to be
convinced of tbe truth that tie party
still possesses its old time vitality.
In the Mugwump State, where crauks
and dudes were most numerous, the
majority for Cleveland the Governor
dwindled down from a round 193,000
to a paty 1,000 for Cleveland the
President! The revolution in other
Slates was of the same pronounced
character. In tbe Congressional con
test, too, the Coon rejoices over the
gum oi no less man do uoDgressmeA.
To sum it all up, then, the Co . VL
concedes Cleveland' election by
scratch, and ventures tbe prediction
that good will come of it to the Re-
i i ? . -r . ii i
puuucau party, jt wiii De stronger
ud better tbe next ten years than
it
has been for the past decade. The
filing face of "that same old Coon" '
J. E. WENK, - -
will bo seen once more before the ides
of November next, and thereafter he
will frequently revisit the glimpses
of the moon to tell of fresh triumphs
achieved on many a hard-fought field.
For the peeseut, however, tho Coon
"comes down!" Good bve!
The Election Decided.
The official count in New York was
practically completed yesterday, aid
it leaves Cleveland with a plurality
which will not vary much either way
from 1000. This settles the question
which has been in dispute for ten days,
and assures Cleveland's election as
President.
The result in 1876 was longer dis
puted, but it was not, in reality, any
closer than this content. Without
New York Blaine has 182 electoral
votes and Cleveland 183, and a change
of less than COO in a vote of 1,100,000
that is, of one vote in 2000 would
have thrown New York on tbo other
side. There has rarely been a narrow
er margin between victory and defeat.
The Prohibition folly was the delib
erate cause of the disaster. Yet in
spite of that craze the day would have
been saved but for tbe Buichard blun
der or tbo Oneida treachery. I'hila.
Press.
How the Great Statesman Takes
his Defeat.
Special to the llerald from Augusta
says : ilr. istaiue regards tue othciai
count in New York as practically set-
tling'tbe presidential question. Mr.
Blaine, it is stated on the bast authori
ty, received this afternoon a telegram
from New York announcing tbe com
pletion of the official canvass in that
city, and informing bim tbat the plur
ality for Cleveland, in that state
would be 1148. Tho same authority
states that Mr. Blaine accepts tbe re
8tiltsve,ry cheerfully and has no regrts
growing out of his connection with the
campaign. He feels that bo made a
good fight and gracefully bows to the
verdict of the American people. He
believes the Republican party will
prove true to its grand past aod will
increase in strength with the coming
years, lie expects that in loos it will
again be balled back into power.
Mr. Blaine leaves for Washington
the middle of next week, where he and
his family will spend the Winter. He
has leased the '"Sargent house," in
Farragut Square, and will shortly re
sume his work on tbe second volume
of "Twenty Years in Congress." Ihe
volume will be ready by next June
for publication.
NO DANGER YET.
The dead weight that prevents auy
business "movement, and fills tbe fu
ture with dread, most assuredly has
its chief cause in this country in the
fear of industrial revolution as the re
suit of the political revolution which
has been feared and is supposed to
have taken place. It does not follow
by any means that the electiou of Mr
Cleveland means a change from the
policy of protection to free trade
Had the result been accompanied by
such legislative gains as would have
increased the free trade strength in
the House of Representatives, and
criven that fiction a majority in the
Seuate, then, indeed, there would
have been giouud for 6uch fears.
But tbe protectionist strength has
been increased for tbe immediate fu
ture in both bouses, so tbat whatever
may be tbe will of tbe new adminis
tration, there cannot be any serious
meddling with the tariff for some
years at least, and fears on that Bcore
may be dismissed. We, lose, of course,
tbat intelligent aud systematic move
ment toward the enlargement of our
foreign market which was assured in
tbe event of Republican success, un
less indeed the new power should do
better than it has promised in that
direction, yet there is no occasion for
withdrawing cupital from indostria
enterprise in a panic, or for doubting
tbat as the natural causes for tempo
rary depression pass away, as they
will, there will be a healthy though
moderate movement toward a revival
of industrial activity. It is a well
established fact that parties iu power
are always more conservative than
their utterances while seeking it, and
we may well trust tbat principle for
insurance against ill cou&idered at
tempts to suddenly overturn the wise
policies under which the country has
prospered under such adverse circum
stances., llarrisb urg Telegh rap h.
Mi BLAINE'S official majority in
Pensylvauia is $1,019.
The Result in tho 25th District.
Under the above caption the Clar
ion Jacl-toniaii of last week delivers it
self as follows. It seems a rather un
kind cut at this lata day, but perhaps
tho editor knows whereof ho speak?:
"While we have not the official fig
ures before us at this writing, enough
is known to assure the election of A.
C. White, Republican, over D. Reitz,
Fusion, by from 1,500 to 2,000 minori
ty. White carries every county in the
district, with the exception of Clarion,
by increased majorities, while Reitz
fulls behind Pnttoa in this county
nenrlv tour hundred votes.
"The result does not surprise us in
the least. Crow nmy be digested for
a few nienls, but the stomach revolts
against crow ns a stendy diet. This
thing of a handful of cranks furnish
ing, or rather forcing, tho candidate,
snd asking the Democracy to furnish
the votes and sinews of war, has bad
its day.
"The nomination of a reputable
Democrat would have assured the de
feat of the Republican caudidate, but
to this tho Greenbackers would not
hear, and tho result is just what might
have been auticipated. When the
Greenback vote of the whole district
does not near equal the Democratic
vote of Clarion county, the presump
tion and folly of insisting that none
other than a Grecnbacker shall be the
nominee, is too apparent to need com
ment.
"The Domocrats of this district are
Democrats from principle, und nssuch
they had little encouragement to vote
for Mr. Reitz. A Democrat for reve
nuo only, a bolter whenever he saw
"various channels in whioh ho could
be useful," and a Greenbacker when
ueither Democrats or Republicans
had use for him, there was little to
commend him to those who have nev
er faltered in the faith. Thesn may
be plain words but they are true, and
now is the time to express them. The
defeat and its lesson should go hand iu
hand, that neither may be forgotten
in future."

The Philadelphia Press thinks
that while Pennsylvania didn't do
much towards making Cleveland
President, it it ready to furnish an
entire Cabinet in case be is elected
Here is what tho Democrats of
Pennsylvania wglit offr iu that
event :
Secretary of Slate William A. Wullaco
Kec'y of tho Treasury .....Saiu'l J. Itundall
Hec'y of tho Interior Chaunc.y F. Blade
Secretary of War A. K. MeClure
Sec'y of tho Navy Frank cLautdilin

Attorney General ftSiSl&ty
Then there are Malcolm Hay, J. P
Barr, Charles R. Bnckalew and var
ions others who may be thrown in for
any other good plnceB that are lying
around loose.
Wisconsin will claim the honor of
sending the youugest man to the For
ty-ninth C.wgrefg in the person of
Robeit M. LaFollette. He is only
28 years old, but has already made a
reputation as a speaker and debater.
Mr. LaFollette is a Republican .
The New York Herald proposes to
turn the Democratic party over to the
Independent Republicans mid the one
disgruntled stalwart. It advises
Cleveland to select Schurz aud Conk-
liug as part of his cabiuet.
It is Judge Harry White now. The
General carried bis county by over
500 majority against the most terrible
opposition that could be brought to
bear.
