Venezuela's appeal for protecti
from the threatening encroachments < . .
Great Britain upon the territory of tit. t
little republic , which was made ii. vi : : i
to this cotmtrf ia 16S * , whcc. Secretary
Bayard was at the head of the state de
partment , has been answered by Presi
dent Harrison. The situation is one
which will undoubtedly give an op
portunity for the emphatic assertion by
the president of the famous Monroe
doctrine an assertion which was evaded
by President Cleveland's administra
tion , despite the pathetic appeal of the
Venezuelan government.
The sealed instructions which were
delivered to Admiral Walker on board
the Chicago intrusted him with a mis
sion more important , it is believed , than
any that has been confided to an Amer
ican naval officer in recent years. Agents
of the government of Great Britain have
taken possession , unduly and forcibly ,
of the port of Barima , at the mouth of
the Orinoco , which up to that time had
been possessed by Venezuela , whose
title to it was indisputable. It is only
necessary to cast a glance at the map of
South America in order to see the vast
importance of this aggressive step of
Great Britain. When a European mari
time power has once obtained a foothold
at Barima it absolutely controls the Or
inoco river and its numerous affluents.
Through that artery it may penetrate as
far as the Rio de La Plata. Venezuela
is therefore not the only American re
public that is at the mercy of the naval
power that gets control of the Orinoco
river. Colombia , Peru , Bolivia , Brazil ,
the Argentine Republic and Uruguay
are likewise at its mercy. Much inter
est is felt in President Harrison's in
struction to Admiral Walker. It is be
lieved they will be found to be in his
usual vigorous and firm tone , which has
more than once in the past brought a
prompt recognition from Great Britain
and other foreign powers.
A DEMOCRATIC MANUFACTURER.
Ho Tells TVtiy He Proposes to Vote for
Harrison.
Florien Grosjean , the head of the La
Lance & Grosjean Manufacturing com
pany , of Woodhaven , Long Island , has
announced his intention to vote this
year for Harrison , protection and reci
procity. Mr. Grosjean has always been
a Democrat.
The big factory of the company of
which Mr. Grosjean is the president
manufactures agate ironware and gives
employment steadily to 1,400 men. The
factory building covers six acres. The
people who labor under its roof take
away several thousand dollars in wages
for each day of their toil.
Mr. Grosjean gives a clear reason for
the faith that is in him. "I am , " he
said , "very fond of Mr. Cleveland. J
have always voted the Democratic
ticket , and have done what 1 could to
help elect it. Both times that Mr.
Cleveland ran I voted and worked for
him , but I can no longer antagonize my
own interests , and the interests of the
1,400 men in our employ , by lending en
couragement to a free trade propaganda.
It is plain to me that the establishment
of a free trade system would eventually
force us to close our factory and throw
out of work the operatives. "

"What is a tin plate liar , pa ? "
"A tin plate liar , my son , is a man
who tries to get into ofBce by sayii g
that the tin plate industry established by
the Republican McKinley law amounts
to nothing , when in fact he knows that
there were 20,000,000 pounds made in this
country last year , $6,000,000 of capital
invested and thousands of men given
employment in this new industry. "
Increased commerce in the first full year

ports free of duty , $102,333,143.
Opposed to G. A. R. Recognition.
I notice that every senator and repre
sentative who had served in the rebel
army steadily voted against giving us
any recognition or extending us any
courtesy. That I much regret. We
were ever their honorable antagonists.
Magnanimously we have forgiven them ,
restored them to the citizenship and
loners and emoluments of the country
which we prevented them from betray-
ug and ruining. We visited them when
; hey did burial honors to their fallen
chiefs , going almost so far as to march
jeneath the flag of a stricken treason.
Surely after twenty-five years they
should have forgiven us for having van
quished them in the interests of free
dom , nationality , humanity , and above
all of their own children. Veteran in
New York Paper.
I Itavo arrived at the age of fully
lircescore and have been a lifelong
Democrat , but I am fully satisfied that
Cleveland is not the friend of the soldier'
and should not receive our support.
General E. O. Beers.
When the McKinley law imposing a
duty of two dollars a pound on Sumatra
eaf went into effect the price of Con
necticut tobacco increased from sixteen
cents to twenty-six cents , and the actual
jrofits of the farmer were more than
loubled. It is estimated that the to-
jacco growers have already gained
51,000,000 by the law.
I tell you , sir , the old soldiers will not
vote for Cleveland. He cannot carry.

NEW Yonic , Nov. 9. Tariff reform
has achieved a mighty victory through-
cut the nation , and Cleveland will re
sume the reins of government next
March. Latest returns from the vari
ous states of the country indicate that
he has swept many states heretofore
considered solidly Republican , and
has brought victory in all hitherto
classed as doubtful.
New York is Democratic by at least
30,000. Illinois is in line by at least
10,000. Connecticut gave Cleveland a
GKOVER CLUVELAND.
phenomenal plurality. New Jersey
went as usual. Wisconsin and Cali
fornia are in doubt with the Demo
cratic prospects the brighter. The
South is just as it has been for years.
Nebraska has undoubtedly been
taken out of the Republican column
and with Colorado , Id ho and Nevada
will cast their electoral votes for
Weaver who , however , will not even
hold the balance of power , for Cleve
land will have at the least calculation
24G votes in the electoral college and
each late return seems to add to this.
The house is strongly Democratic
and tariff reform legislation is assured
from that branch. In the senate there
is likely to be a new deal , for New
York , Wisconsin , Illinois and Dela
ware will almost certainly send Dem
ocrats to the upper house , while
Nebraska , Idaho , Wyoming , Nevada
and California and possibly Michigan
and Kansas will elect men not in
favor of the McKinley policy.
"New York is Democratic by not less
than 30,000 and has elected a Demo
cratic assembly , " is the opening sen
tence of the latest edition of the New
York Tribune , ihe newspaper which is
owned and edited by Whitelaw Reid ,
the Republican candidate for vice
president.
The paper continues : "New Jersey
has probably gone for Cleveland by
from 3,000 to 8,01-0 , but Keen , Repub
lican , claims his election as governor.
Connecticut is Democratic by a plural
ity of not less than 5,000 on the presi
dential ticket and has chosen a Demo
cratic governor and legislature. ' '
The legislature of the state of New
York is Democratic , the house having
been carried l > y a majority of 14 , thus
insuring the election ot a Democratic
senator in place of Mr. Hiscock.
Mr. Cleveland's plurality in New
York city and county was 70,947 , or
3.0SU more than that of Mayor-elect
Thomas F. Gilroy. The entire city
and countv ticket of the Democrats [ is
elected. Every Tammany assemblyman
except one out of the thirty in the city
and county is elected. The solitary
one is a county Democrat who was in
dorsed by the Republicans. Every aldermanic -
dermanic candidate is elected. Every
congressman is elected.
The Electoral Outlook.
The following table seems to be
about the way the situation looks at
present :
years been so slow Jn coming : in. This
is attributable to the new system of
voting , the count being necessarily
slower , and want of telegraphic and
telephoni ; fiieilities in many of the
northern towns and hamlets. The Re
publicans have undoubtedly elected
the greater portion of. if not their en
ure state ticket , by from 8,000
to 15.000 plurality. The Free Press ,
Democrat , concedes the election of all /
on the ticket except Ellis for attorney
general and A'ewton for associate
justice of supreme court , who were on
both the Democratic and People's
ticket. /r

Will Gerrymander Illinois.
CHICAGO , Nov. 9. The returns from
Illinois were still incomplete this
morning , but all indications point to
the carrying of the slate by Cleveland
and Stevenson by a plurality of from
8,000 to 10,000. The entire Dc.r.ojratic
state ticket is also elected and the
Democrats have a majority of the con
gressional delegation and have appa
rently gained control of both branches
of the state legislature.
In view of the fact that the state is
to be redistricted the coming winter , ;
the election of the governor and both k | |
branches of the legislature by the
Democrats is of the utmost importance
to that party and will enable them to
so gerrymander the state as to gain
great permanent advantage in con
gressional , legislative and judicial dis
tricts.
Latest returns leave no doubt that
Joseph G. Cannon ( Rep. ) is elected to
congress in the Fifteenth district by
about 500 plurality and W. Fithian

But beyond this atmospheric condition - i
tion there was nothing unusual in the
appearance of the executive mansion
