"A H. T. Democrat', in Chicago Herald (Dem.) The Democratic party desires to nominate a man for president in 1892 who con be elected, and who when elected will be a worthy ex ponent of its doctrines, faithful to his party and a good executive of ficer. It has no other ambition thau this, and it has many men from whom to choose. But the friends of Mr. Cleveland are advancing his name with great vehemence, and are denouncing those who do not share their views as to his popularity and the need of his re-election. Herein they commit again the blunder of 1888, where for months before the holding of the St. Louis Convention they declared that no man besides Mr. Cleveland could possibly be elected president. Every other ele ment and interest of the party were sacrificed to the advancement of Mr. Cleveland. Criticisms of his course were looked upon as party treason, any man who dared to differ from bim upon questions of policy was looked upon as a party traitor. All the resources of party discipline were brought to bear to make the real issue of the year the support of Mr. Cleveland. These efforts were successful; no other man was mentioned in the convention, or for weeks in advance of the holding of the convention. The Democratic party entered the convention with no independent pur pose. Intelligent discussiop disap peared. The cut and dried pro gramme was carried out which nom inated Mr. Cleveland by acclamation; adopted the platform which he had caused to be written out in the White House by acclamation and without debate; and nominated the man whom he had choseß for vice presidential associate by an over whelming majority. To accomplish this the whole power of the federal Administration was brought to bear upon the Democratic organization, and the consequence was the sub stitution of the will of one man for the intelligent and thoughtful coun sel of a great party. A more fatal error could not befall a great party aspiring to administer the affairs of a free government. Nor would this condition of affairs have been created bv a man who was a great leader. It was a condition intolerable to freemen. As much has been said of late about the fact that Mr, Cleveland had a plurality over Mr. Harrison, and as it is sought to be argued therefrom that he was greatly and personally popular, an analysis of this matter will not be without its value. Mr. Tilden's popular popu larity in 1876 was 250,000, that of Mr. Clevelaud, after four years of power, was only 93.000. Of the votes given to Mr. Cleveland in 1884. 51(5,226 were majorities ob tained in the Southern states, show ing that in the great Nortern com monwealths his popular vote was 420,000 less than than of Mr. Har rison; and it was in the Northern Democratic states that Mr. Cleve land needed his majorities and not in the South. And since this ques tion of majorities is being used so much by those who insist upon the nomination of Mr. Cleveland in 1892 we should give the matter further and more careful consideration. The state of New York gave him 192,- 854 majority for governor in 1883. In 1884 it gave him 1047 plurality; in 1888 it gave Mr. Harrison 13,174 plurality, and at that same election gave the Democratic candidate for governor 19,171 plurality; and yet the state of New York was and is a Democratic state. The election just past shows a Democratic plurality of 25.000 for Mr. Brice, and this in spite of the coalition in New York City of tue Republican party and the County Democracy, peculiarly Mr. Cleve land's faction. In 1884 Mr. Cleve land carried, exclusive of the me • tropolitan counties, eleven country I counties by pluralities aggregating 9780; these same counties in 1888 only gave him 1870—a loss in Democratic pluralities in Demo cratic counties of 7910 votes. The Democratic state of Connecticut in 1884 gave Mr. Clevand a plurality of 1200, and only 30® in 1888. The Democratic state of Indiana gave 1 him a plurality in 1881 of G512, and gave Mr. Harrison in 1888 a plurali ty pf 2392, and yet at the same elec tion gained three Democratic con gressman, making a total from thai state of ten Democrats and three Republicans in the lower house of Congress. Tire Democratic state of Virginia gave Mr. Cleveland a plur ality of 16,000 in 1884, but only 1100 in 1887. It has now swung back to 30,000. In the state of Illinois, in 1884, fifty one counties were Republican and fifty»one Democratic; the fifty—one Democratic counties gave a plu rality in 1884 to Mr. Cleveland of 33,858 votes, but in 1888 the same counties gave him only a plurality of 12,397, while the whole state gave Palmer 12,000 more Demo cratic votes than it gave Mr. Cleve land. If anything can be demon strated by the results it would ap pear that Mr. Cleveland's fatal weak ness was with the Democracy, whom he did not comprehend, and whom he did not honor. Oue who will study the elections of 1884 and 1888 carefully and dispassionately, with a view to determining what should be the future action of the Democratic party, will rise from that study with the conviction graven upon his heart that Mr. Cleveland can never be a successful candidate before that "proud and powerful'' people whose political ascendancy has been still further increased by the admission of new slates to the Union, thus giving them additional control in the Con gress and in the Electoral Col lege. There is no doubt but that boodle to use the modern phrase, playtd an important part in the election of 1888, but it is furthermore true that boodle would not hare pre vailed in a contest against a man who waß enshiined in the hearts of the Democracy. The losses of Mr. Cleveland was not generally in the boodle districts, not in the cities, which are supposed peculiarly to be the home of the boodlers, but they occured in the country regions and at the cross-roads, where men were voting their fellings and where they gave expression to their resent ments. The heart of the Demo cracy was not in the campaign and the result demonstrated that the silent vote which had been alienated, as in the Democratic counties of Illinois, was not swept from its Democratic alienating by the use of mone3 r , but by alienating affections of the Democrat ic voters. Stcelton, Pa., iVov. 22m#, 1889. ME. EDITOR: Perhaps a few items from the town of Steel would not come amiss to your read ers. The Pennsylvania Steel works are located here and consist of two Bessemer mills, two Bloom mills, Open hearth furnaces, Rail mills, Merchant mill, Billet mill, Exper mental mill, four Blast furnaces, Boiler shop, Frog and switch shop, Foundry, machine shop, Pattern shop, and numerous other shops. They have about 30 miles of railroad tracks and thirty shifters to remove their material, and employ from 3,500 to 4000 men of almost all nationalities. They also have a large store not directly connected with the Steel Company which is divided into seven departments, namely, first, Slaughter house, second, Meat store, third Grocery store,fourth Dry goods, fifth Clothing, sixth Boots and shoes, seventh, Coal and wood. They run fifteen or twenty delivery wagons to deliver the goods and coal and wants to their customers. They employ thirty or forty clerks and book keepers. There is also a large Flour mill here with a capacity of 600 barrels n day. The population is between uine and ten thousand. We have twenty-five schools and twelve churches and no two of the same denomination. One policeman, that may seem strange for a town made up of so many nationalities. The general manager of the Steel works attends to that. If any one em ployed by them misbehaves gets drunk or insults any one he is im mediately discharged, and it has the effect of making a peaceful town. The monthly pay rolls amounts to from $125,000 to $165,000. This month it is $140.,000, it will be much greater next month as the wages were advanced 10 per cent Nov. Ist. Tbe Steel Company about nine years ago purchased a lot and built a school house at a cost of $75 000 or SBO,OOO and donated it to the boro. for public school purposes. No boy under ltf years of age is allowed to work at the works during the school terra that is boys that re side in the town* A literary in stitute is held once a week during the school term There is a free library connected with the institute and persons in toWn get A book for two weeks and longer it they are not done with it. The president of the Steel company resides here (Maj. L. S. Bent) and he is head and front in every thing that tends to education and every thing else that is tor the advancement of the town. Motive cars run through the town every seven minutes for 20 hours every day Sunday included. There are twelve secret organiza tions in the town namely, G. A. R., 170 members, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pytheias, P. O. S. of A., Jr. Men chauics, Knights of the Golden Eagle, Knights of the Mystic, Chain, Ladies Circle of G. A. R. Ileptasophs Royal Aroaumni, Red Men, and Steel workers beneficial Society—which is not a secret order. T. A. DXVT. STRAY BULL. —A bull came to my place in June last, color light red, white on breast and hips also end of tail white. The owner is re quested to call and prove property pay costs and remove the same, otherwise it will be sold according to law. G. W. BIGGER. Shrewsbury twp., Nov. lit, 1880. It is not reported that Ex-Presi dent Cleveland will go out to Ohio to urge the election of Judge Tliur nian to the United States Seuate as the successor of Henry B. Payne. This is official. A new process of compressing coal dust into blocks has just been invented and will be tried by the Reading Railroad. LOPEZ JOTTINGS. A uian and woman of middle age arrived in town last week on foot, presenting a noble speciment of traveling humanity. They held en* tertainments in all the stores and hotels in town. The womkn manipu lated the banjo amusingly wnile the masculine with ft heavy cold voice pealed forth charming malo dies. They have gone now. The cricket ran to this place on Sunday 'ast with several railroad authorities. They in company with Jamos McFarlane reviewed the location of the place throughly. An attempt was made to burgalize the drug store of E. P. Kester a few nights ago. The weather has been damp and dreary for considerable time paßtj and conducive to colds of various degrees. A new side walk has been laid from Lopez House to the new hall and will be extended onto Clark Bros, store Its convenience is greatly appreciated by all. Dr. Herrmann, of ]>ushore, is having the ground cleared and pre pared for the erection of a dwelling house. Lopez citizens: You will aid a good cause, and add to the length and happiness of your earthly days, by subscribing for the REPUBLICAN, and read your home news. Fred Lowell, the cosmopolite traveling salesman for ,T. R Torrey & Co., of Worcester, Mass., Was in town taking large orders last week. Fred is an alied friend to all whom he may meet, and on all occasions carries with him a stock of stories and of pood honor that is inexhaus table. Especially does he make himself interesting when narrating to the customer, whose order he is zealously seeking, his journey over the plank road from Seemans to Thornedale, last week, which was in an impediment condition. His trips are frequent and liberal, and all put on a gracious srnile when they see him booming up in the distant. John Gordon's building is nearly completed. The Many who throng the ground ! floor of the new hall evenings, have found it necessary to possess strong lungs. Not that they have a desire to talk with such a high pitch of voice to one another, but because the rink is over head. To effect a more thorough equipped department, the kindling wood factory have recently placed another gang saw concern in their building. Jameß Avery has accepted a posi tion as foreman of the kindling wood factory. He succeeds Taylor. TALL* HO, Trial I.l*l Fw Dcrcmber Term, 'BO. (REILKN DAY DEC, 9th. 1889.) No. 1 J. W.
