Tin : Br.u's limited telegraph pcrvico this morning must bo charged up to the elements. Until after midnight Inst flight the Western Union telegraph company's wires were so badly demoral ized by eastern storms that press Borvico was practically blocked. But one wire was worldlier between Omaha bud Chicago. The result was a com plete failure to transmit Tin : BISK'S heavy Saturday night special domestic find foreign telegrams until too late to print in this morning's paper. It was a matter over which Tin : BKE had no control. DEMOCRATS wore disposed to regard him as the man of destiny , but they found in him merely the man of den sity. Mn. RICIIAUD BKHUN will enjoy the distinction of being the only republican 'member of the Douglas county legislative - tivo delegation , Tin : question of the exact Bite of the Crucifixion is being discussed in the periodicals. Mrs. Cleveland fixes it in the neighborhood of the executive man sion at Albany. TKEitK are throe classes of citizens Who regret the termination of the cam paign. They are the musicians , the campaign uniform makers and the deal ers in iiroworKs. But it is an ill-wind that does not blow somebody good. THE crime against Dakota bids fair to t > o revenged by the next congress. The disfrancliiactnont of the negro in the Couth when supplemented by the dls- .franchisomoiit of three-quarters of a million of whites in the north made a f olid west as against a broken south. A DECISION has just boon rendered to the effect that the Scotch court hod jurisdiction in the suit of Parnoll Against the London 2Vme.t for libel. The proat Irish leader will probably have the satisfaction of getting u big bill of tiatnagns at the hands of a Scotch jury against the powerful English news paper. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ No vicssnr , flying the United States flag has any right to carry arms andam- muiiitloii to the citizens of thonaytion republic who are in arms against their government. Jf , therefore. Huytion Cruisers capture any vessels owned by United States citizens committing sucn kn offonbo against the comity of na tions such vessels are justly forfeited , ttwnors take the risk of capture for the t&ko of big profits , and they must not bo fxllowod when they lose to call upon tholr country for protection. In the case of the Vlrginius the Spaniards Wore right , but they compelled the United States to interfere by thoi ? bloodthirsty treatment of the prisoners. competition in petroleum ivith the export trade of this country is Uttraating attention , and the prediction is nmilo tliat the time is not far distant \vhon the petroleum of the Caspian re gion will drive the American product out of Europonii markets. The fact is noted that while the world's consump tion of petroleum is steadily incromfing , the exports of this country are not keeping paqo with it in either quantity or value. The Russian production of mineral oil has risen in a few years to twenty-five million gallons , and the oil field appears to bo well-nigh inexhaust ible. There appears to bo some danger to the future of this important part of our export trado. TIIICRE is every reason to'predict the success of the Bazaar to bo given within a few woolcs in aid of the Omaha Guards. This crnolt military organi zation is making extensive preparations to take part in the inauguration of President Harrison. It Is eminently proper that Nebraska should bo repre sented at Washington on the 4th of Itlarch. The Btiito stands in the front ranks o/ / the "republican column , and it 1m ? strong family ties which bind it to the president elect. Local pride more over should prompt our citizens to send the young soldiers to the inauguration in bpick and span now uniforms. They ehould bo encouraged lu every way to I strive for the distinction of carrying off the honors for the sake of their state. TUB STATU AND TUB As nearly ns can bo estimated from the returns , Nebraska cast 187,000 votes in the last election. In the Gnrflold campaign our vote was 87,353. Four years later it was IJU.-'Ol. The present vote therefore shows a gain of 100,000 voters over 1830 , and of 53,000 over 1831. The comparison of the votes with the inhabitants nt the tlmo the votes wore cttst is Interesting ns indicating the probable present population of Nebraska nnd its past and future rnto of Increase. By the national census taken in the spring of 1880 , Nebraska had 152,402 in habitants. Six months later on the basis of 51 citizens to the voter our pop ulation had reached 180,452 , a conserva tive estimate of increase , Tnldng the same ratio of increase and applying it to the vote of 1SS1 , which was 181,201 , we obtain 7.n,127 ! as the population of the state , which falls nearly two thou sand below the figures given by the state census of IBS' ; . The ratio of fl } in habitants to the voter may therefore betaken taken ns a conservative basis upon which to found estimates of population la years when a full vote is called out in this state. Applying this ratio to the figures of the late election wo have at the present tlmo 1,023,500 inhabitants in the btate. This is an increase of very nearly ! ! 00- 000 in four years , an increment of 40 per cent , or nearly ton per cent annually during that period. At this ratio the population of the stale considerably more limn doubles every ten years , and in 1800 , the next census year , wo shall have fully 1,1/50,000 / inhabitants. Nebraska's congressional representa tion in the fifty-second congress will bo based upon her population as shown by the census of 1S)0. ! ) Under the present congressional upportiontmentof 151,012 inhabitants to each representative as applied to the census of 1830 , wo are only entitled to three congressmen. Two years hence , oven with the basis of representation raised to 17oOU ! ) inhab itants to the voter , wo shall double our congressional delegation and proportionately tionately increase out' importance as a factor in national legislation. It is interesting to note that Omaha has maintained her position relative to the state at largo. At the late election she cast one-tenth of the entire vote. Douglas county polled nearly one-ninth of all the ballots deposited in Nebraska. If the state doubles in the next ten years , as may bo reasonably expected , Omaha will have more than 200,000 pop ulation before 1000 strikes the death knell to the present century. 1111 ADS 'Will LTST. The foolish brood of half-Hedged poli ticians who imagined tluit the great re publican state of Nebraska could be revolutionized by the democracy in a presidential year are now rubbing their heads in a dazed way and wonUering why the political signal service didn't hoist the cold wave flag a month before the election. The result of. the election has boon more tnan surprising. It has been be wildering. Nebraska has given a ma jority for the republican national ticket greater than over before in her history , while she has elected every republican congressman , increased the republican majority in the legislature , and , in spite of bitter local fights and the full use of democratic patronage , has chosen the entire state ticket by overwhelming ma jorities. So far us the state was concerned , the tariff issue cut little figure. The Mills bill which began its reform by inserting the kinifo in a great agri cultural industry was repudiated as sectional , crude and unsatisfactory. The great soldier vote was cast almost bodily against the perpetuation of an administration which had boon notori ously controlled by formerly disloyal in fluences. A false oconohiy which gave millions of dollars towards improving southern bayous and madu up the defi ciency by cutting down the mail service of the west did not commend itself to Iho frontier farmers or the border busi ness men. Least of all , did boodle exercise - ciso its influence. The counties which two years ago administered a scathing rebuke to political charlatans seeking endorsement at the hands of the repub lican party swung nobly into line to re sent the imputation that their former action was the result of any other inllu- once than an earnest desire to purify the party and to purge it of its political dross. While full returns are not yet availa ble enough have boon received to warrant the prediction that Nebraska is near the head of the republican column. With nil the immigration of nearly thirty years she has not boon unmindful of her early his tory , forever and inextricably inter woven with that of the times of storm and stress which accompanied the birth of the republican party. Then as now southern bulldo/ers opposed a solid front to western rights , and Kansas and Nobr.iska wore confroato d by the same political forces which are to-day deny ing the rights of oiti/onship to Dakota. Southern slaveholders than occupied the place held to-day by southern brig adiers , but tholr methods and their aims were opposed to the progress of the west for the same reason that under Mr. Cleveland's administration western claims have been ignored and rusonted. As a result every western state has swung Into line for the restoration of the party of progruas and Nebraska stands with Kansas again nt the head of the column. THE UOS-l'ON PASTOR. The call of the First Congregational church of this city to the Rev. Joseph Duryoa , D. D. , of Boston , has boon nc- coptod conditionally upon the consent of the council of which ho is a moiubov. There is no reason to doubt that it will bo cheerfully given and that the pas toral ties which have hold Dr. Duryoa to Congregationalism , in the Old Bay state will bo speedily dissolved to per mit him to make the change which hose so greatly desires. Omaha may tlioro- fore soon oxpact an addition to its al ready largo corps of clergymen which will bo alike of bdnollt to the city and to the religious denomination with which Dr. Duryea la connected. Dr. Duryea is a strong roan , physically and intellectually. Ho is still in the meridian of Hfo nf tor nearly thirty years of labor in the pulpit , * A graduate of Princeton college ho entered the minis try nt the outbreak of the war and fotf twenty years was prominently identified with the Presbyterian church. Much of his work was done in Brooklyn , N. Y. , uhere ho built up the Classon Avcnuo church into ono of the strongest metropolitan churches of that great denomination. Dr. Duryoa is celebrated as a man of wide cultures , innate refinement nnd of scholarly in- stincta , cultivated by voars of labor. His view of the preacher is that of the teacher. His pulpit oratory is the re verse cf sensational , but it Issoarohing , inspiring nnd suggestive. lie is a mu sician by taste , and is deeply interested in rtrtnnd educational problems. Both in Brooklynjand Boston he rapidly rose into prominence by his outspoken interest in matters relating to the municipal wel fare of the two cities. In the lecture hall and on the platform ho waged brilliant war for humanity entirely apart from dcnominiitionallsm , and made himself felt ns an intellectual force in the communities in which ho cast his lot. lot.It It is interesting to know that he comes to Omaha because he yearns to find a less contracted Hold for his broad humnn- itarianism , and thut ho docs so at a pe cuniary sacrifice. The Boston pastor will become the Omaha pastor with no inconsiderable gain to the newer stale and newer city into which he will pro ject himself , 0V 'HID ULUUTOIJAL row : . The statutes of Nebraska provide that the votes cast for presidential electors shall bo canvassed by a board of state canvassers , consisting of the governor , secretary of state , auditor of public accounts , treasurer nnd attorney general. The hoard is required to meet at the ofllco of the tL-crotary of state on the third Monday after the election , which this jear will bo No vember 20 , nnd in case all the returns shall not have then been received at the ulliee of the secretary of state , the board may adjourn from day to day until the same shall have been received , not exceeding five days. A certificate shall be served on each person elected , no tifying him when he shall attend at the scat of government to give his vote for president and vice president. Under the national law in vogue at the last presidential election the elec tors of president and vice president were required to meet in each stale at noon of the Tuesday preceding the first Wednesday of December next after election , and the law of Nebraska is in conformity witli this. But the act of congress of December , 1SSU , to fix the day for the mooting of the electors , pro vides that they shall meet on the second end Monday in January. The first Sec tion of this act reads : "That the elec tors of each state shall meet and give their votes on the second Monday in January next following their ap pointment , at such place in each state as the legislature of such slate shall direct. " This of cour-.o supersedes the state law providing for the meeting of the electors in December , and : .s in 1870 the national law will bo regarded. It will bo remembered that in that year Nebraska hod no law providing for the separate canvass of the vote for nresi- dontial electors , the statutes providing that all returns should be canvassed by the legislature. Compliance with this would have lost the electoral vote of Nebraska to the republican presidential candidates and thus defeated them , but those who insisted upon compliance were overruled and the electors mot agreeably to the national law. In the present case the state statute respecting the mooting of the electors will give way to the federal law , and the second Monday in January will bo the day of mooting , instead of the Tuesday preceding the first Wednes day of December. The canvass of the votes for all state otlicorsand for members of congress is required to bo done by the legislature at its next regular session. STIMULATING AllT GULTUltn. The first exhibition of the Western Art association will take place during the present weok. A second exhibition consisting of Hon. G.wgo W. Linin- gor'.s collection will follow a week lutor. An opportunity is given for the first time to view the works of our local artists and to examine Mr. Liningor'H fine collection. That our citizens will avail themselves of this treat is assured. They have evinced great interest in the organization of thu art association , nnd are ready to encourage the objects of the society to advance the knowledge and love of the fine arts In our city. The time is rlpo for such a purpose , and an impetus was only necessary for an awakening in art. The erection of the Liningor art gallery is most oppor tune. Although a priv.ito art hall , through the munificence of Mr. Linin gor it is put at the disposal of the art ist * of the city. For all practical pur poses it will servo Omaha as a public art gallery. Hero the exhibitions of the art association ta'co ' place , and hero the students and patrons of art will have the opportunity to visit at pleas ure. Under such favorable nuspicas the Western Art association has taken the Initial stops in laying the founda tion of a permanent art gallery and art school in our midst. A POST The suggestion that the citizens of Omaha should join in contributing a po.st library for the enlisted men at Fort Omaha , should moot with an im- moaluto and generous response. The garrison has for years boon an Impor tant and liberal patron of our business men. It has added much to the attrac tions of the city. Neither officers nor men have over failed to respond to calls of the city for friendly assistance in ceremonials and parades and their pres ence has increased greatly the interest of such occasions. The present of a small but wall chosen library of general interest would bo a courteous recogni tion on the part of our people of past favors shown , while at the same limo it would bo an act Of permanent educa tional , benefit to men who are deprived of the ? advantages of our public library. Garrisons would change anil commands come nnd go , but the library would remain a gift of porpotunl interest. Wo sco no force in the objection of an enlisted man who writes that soldiers are not objects of charity. Wo have never heard of a community objecting to the foundation of a free library on anysueft. grounds. The books , which TV-O trust will bo liberally fur nished by our people , will not bo the property of the Second Infantry. They will remain at the , post , we hope , loner after that regiment has gone elsewhere. Chaplain Nave's appeal , which has been Generally circulated , should meet with a liberal response , IT SKKMS that there Is no doubt of the existence of largo deposits of tin ore at Hartley's Peak , near llapld City , in southwestern Dakota. But though the fact has been known for some years , only ono altnmpt has boon made to re duce the ore , and that was unsuccessful for want of sulllclont funds. The ore beds have been disposed of to English capitalists , and this seems an unfortun ate proceeding , for if these purchasers are interested in the tin tire of Now South Wales , ns is only too probable , Llarnoy's Peak tin fields have been bought simply to prevent them being worked. Deposits of tin in large1 quanti ties tire so exceedingly few that the in- c-oitiintr of a new souico would knock down the price. Before the discovery of the black crystals of tin in New South Wales , the chief source of supply was Banca , and the raleent down very much when Australian tin came into the market. It looks very much ns if in spite of the deposits at Hartley's Peak the United States will have to buy their tin from foreign countries , as heretofore. WHIM : American capital is pouring into Mexico it is a remirkubie fact that there is a strong movement of native Mexicans out of the rich state of SOIIOIM into Arizona and New Mexico. The reason of this sudden emigration is explained - plained on the ground that the authori ties of Sonora have invited foreiirn cap ital and immigration into the state , and that the lands' have buen given or sold in large bodies to English anil Ameri can cattle eomp inics. mining syndicates and coloni/.ing oo'iipinies. There is undoubtedly eo isiderahlo truth to this complaint. The granting of monopo lies increase ; the burdens1 on the nati\o population. Besides , the influx of the wide-awake , monqyrmikitig : American pushes to the wall Ihe simple and indo lent natives. { TllH republican' demonstration last night was brilliant and enthusiastic , and fittingly expressed the gratification which all republicans feel over the .sig nal victory of the party in the national contest. Omaha h'us demonstrated dur ing tho'past month that her people are not behind thodo of 1iny ( other com munity in the interest they take in pol ities , and the dispbiy Just night was the crowning evidence of this. It was a splendid finishing toucli to a memora ble political battle. Mus. CLEVELAND wM retire from her position as the "fli-ht lady of the land'1 universally respected for the modesty and self-poise with which she has conducted her elf during her brief social reign. Few women of her age. elevated to such a height without any previous preparation , would have borne themselves so creditably in all respects as she has done , and every American woman should bo proud of her example. TOPTCS. California wine in the east suffers a neces sary though unmerited cciipso on account of a cause which which has hccn unsuspected by eastern men , and about which Califonans do not care to talk. Only practical vini culturists - turists are aware of the fact that the wines winch are of the host quality ripou very slowly1. Only very ordlnajy wines are fit for consumption c year alter the first fermenta tion. Others gi on fermenting sprint ; after spring until the mysterious pro * ses of na ture uro accomplished , nnd the \ \ H u is per fected. Until tlio last fonnc.itatlon hns taken place the wine is not truly itself , the bouquet does not disengage itself , there is a perceptible noidlty in tlio uftor taste , and in the case of red wines the tannin picdoml- nutes unpleasantly. A really fjood red wino llko Zlnfandol in its first year tastes as if someone hud ( hopped a llulo modlcino into the bottlo. Now the ripening process cannot bo consummated east of the Hoelcy moun tains because the variations In the temperature turo arc too great , and too sudden. Wino ouidit to bo kept at nourly the same tempera ture until it is perfected , and this can bo done in California. Hut in the east where the changes are terrific , the wines subjected to the tremendous full of the burouictor in a blizzard are ruined , and can never recover themselves iK-causo their vitality is killed. And this Is cqtiiilly true of the excessive heats. Hitherto the Callforlan wino men have not hud BUftluiont money to handle wino on a great scale. To keep , IIH is necessary.ln.tho c.iso of Kiosllng , six vint ages in tlio cellar before ono can bo sold , de mand very gro.it capital. Also such wines cannot bo cheap , and eastern men particu larly insist upon cheapness. They argue that wino grown in America ousrht to bo cho ipor than wluo Irom the Hhlno or franco. Now the price of wino depends nnou the iiunlity. nnd the great majority of the California ) ! wines nra of tlio hichosi nualitv , nnd there fore cannot bo cheap. Prpluuably Malvasia nnd White Mission ate- the coming cheap wines , but California for years to come will only produce the higher grades , anil to ro- sK | > nd to the domain ! for cheapness thoio are sold in their second yc/ir / vfhcii they uro do- testable. i . * . i For Boine time past.Kngland has exhibited a fatal facility for making blunders , wlilch has thrown grave discredit upon the govern ment. Ono of the most astounding mistakes perpetrated was with regard to the Canadian Pacific railroad. It was so much the object of the homo government to have this rail road built that the authorities at Ottawa re ceived a hint to glvo to the company an abso lute guarantee that .hero should ho no com peting lines. To no purpose did Canadian journalists iwlnt out that suci | a guarantee was both impolitic and impracticable. The sovornmont did not care for the future wlilch scorned very remote and only concerned It- tolf with that which was present. So the Canadian Pacific , received Its guarantee. Now , the natural off exit of all railroads Is to build up the countries traversed , mid the first result of the Canadian Pacific was the building up of Manitoba. The Canadian Pa- Me , which Is a full eistar of the Union Pa- ; lflc , so dear to Nebraska aud Wyoming , Immediately proceeded to skin the conmuni- ) lion of Manitoba , by the application of rates "based upou what the trafUc. would , boar. " Nebraska knows what that moans. The people of Manitoba determined to rcllori themselves from the burden by building ; railroad to connect with the Northern Pacific and so obtaining connection with the fiourlni mills of St. Paul and Minneapolis nnd tin meat mnrkota of Omaha , that they might sol in ono and buy in the other. The road had to cross the Canadian Pcclflc at two points nnd the Canadian 1'nelflc , strong In the gov eminent guarantee , hns torn up the rails lair down by the Manitoba connecting line. Tlu province is In a flame of fury , and is led k Its opposition by its attorney general , whc declares that if his province Is compelled t < submit to such tyranny nt the hands of tin Canadian government at Ottawa , ho shal call the Munltolmns to arms nnd ncccdo. Al this Is because the homo government couh not understand that In this locality stntci grow fast , nnd become strong nnd rich bofort A cabinet minister has fairly begun to lean the nnmcs of the uew communities. * * Some things die hard some never die but remain , in the language of ICe.its , thing' of beauty nnd Joys forever. Of such it seem- is that peculiar object which the dressmaltoi calls totirnure , and the scoffing world ol coarse men n bustlo. It wiu currently re ported that It was dead , that it would be seen no more , end Hint it had been killed bi the refusnl of Mrs. Cleveland to utllUo Jits mjstorious advantages. The most reeenl diipatehcs from Washington indicate that all this was erroneous , and that Mrs. Cleveland is not the sworn enemy of the tournure. A reporter dared to ask the question point blank of the loidlin ? milliner of Washington , nnd was told so. It is well for humorists that this Is the case , for their topics aio so exceedingly limited that the loss of a single one would create the greatest embarrass ment. HI- HI * Some journalists haven mania for inviting the general reader into the buck kitchen and showing him nil the soiled linen of the pro fession. Those of Chicago are grave sinners In this respect. Kecently there was a long winded yarn by n city editor of the scoop he obtained In the exclusive report of n suicide in one of Chlcago'B grandest hotels. The news wan telephoned to him half an hour be fore the printing of the pnpcr by n hotel porter ho had once aided. Ho sent two re- porteisuho forced their way into the bed room , and found there the half naked body ol a beautiful woman who had shot hersoll through thu heiut. These wretches for whom death and womanhood offered nothing sacied , pried over the bidy with gloating eyes nnd filthy lingers , noted all tno jewelry , the rings on tno still llaccid lingers , ami the ounings In the delicate oars , nnd the watch chain dabbled with blood , spied out an old letter close to the lovely breast which they ascertained was still warm , recognized that the suicide had clothed herself specially for the act.nnd not through their odious work be fore the police who hud been notified came to tnlie charge. It is not claimed that such rcpoits should not bo made , but m the numu of decency no boast , should bo made of them nor working details given. Such explana tions can but lower Journalism in the eyes even of those who love to read such reports. If lovers of good living knew the secrets of the cuisine , many a dainty morsel would be untouched , nnd it is an act of wisdom for journalists to keep icticiont upon the mys teries of their professional cookery. * * * The discovery has been made by the fuinons chief of New York detectives Inspector specter Hymcs that the murder of the Ital ian Fmconnlo was the work of an infamous organization for criminal purposes known as Ln Malia. This association is special to Sicily but it differs in nothing from La Camorra of the Neapolitan kingdom. The question is now being asked whotncr Lv : Mafia was not interested in the murder of a railroad paymaster , and nis attendant in broad uavlight near Wilkesbano , and the robbery of more than twelve thousand dollars destined to pay the laborers nnd teams tors Both men were shot deid from an ambush , and the local investigators nt once deduced the conclusion that it was n carefully woikcd out crime , prepared to the minutest detail in advance from the circumstance that Winchester carti idses had been dropped at the point of ambush In order to draw the attention of the police to the hunters of the locality who use the Winchester. Hut nsthe fatal bullets were not Winchester , It was clear thnt the cartridges had been obtained simply to throw the police on a false trail. It is now suggested thnt among the Italian railroad laborers in the vicinity there inuv bo some members of La Matin who supplied the central organi/atlon with all needful information mation gave assistance to the men who were sent down to do tlio job. Should the police succeed in proving this , there will bo a strong movement ngninst Italian immigra- ion which is of a highly undesirable charac ter. w * * The earthquake shocks reported from Now Bedford , Mass. , have by no means the im portance indicated. There are earthquakes nnd earthquakes , as the French say , nnd these which occur rcgulaily every fall in the cast are not worthy of being.telegraphod ns a sensational Item. Under the influence- the summer heats the rocks underlying the alluvial soil are expanded , and when the frosts uoinu are contracted. Whenever such rock strata lie upon clay beds the contrac tion is accompanied with a slight slipping , nnd this produces distinct shocks which oc casionally have force enough to bo alarming. Those periodical earth tremors are not to bo classed with genuine seismic action , which Is always mote or less cosmic , Hnmboldt , by an exhaustive study of the subject , arrived at the conclusion thnt earthquakes of the genuine class were caused by the sinio force that raised up the mountain chulns.-nnmcly , n contraction of the earth's crust , caused by radiation of hoat. Ono of the results of this contrjctlon is the falling In of the walls of Internal caverns twenty , thirty , oven forty miles below the surface. Ono can realize this theory forcibly by a consideration of the effect of HUCII a falling in of the great cnvo In Kentucky. There would bo n distinct radia tion of shocks from a central point. And thut was the most inarKcd feature of the Charleston earthquake , which most unmis takably was of a true seismic character. * * This Is n great year for apples , not only in the states , but also in Canada , and the tin prccodentcd shipments to Knglnud Imvo knocked down the prices fur below the hope of any return to the shipper.

Then ho was run ning against the weakest man who could have been nominated and had the powerful support of all honest republicans nnd of the press. It was an oft your.

" "No ono in Omahn , " suggested one of the wheel horses of the Nebraska democracy , has heard from .T. Stirling Morton since the election. And they are not likely to soon again. Morton was in some ic- spects the weakest candidate the do- moera'-y of the First district could have named. He has been for yours n bnlbunt nnd eftlulent uttoiney of the Bur lington road and the most ramiiant free trader , pure and ubsolnto , in the west. Ho is rich nnd values his social position more than votes. Ho bus been in legislative nnd national fights so often tliat he tins mudc enemies , who were ready to pay off old scores , nnd dirt so. More than this , ho was an avowed and bitter enemy of Cleveland , and had the enmity of the office-holders as well as of the workingmon. S. II. Culhoun is ten years younger since Morton's defeat. " "I was not at all surprised at the result of the election , " said a republican recently from Washington. "Quito tipait from the tarjff issue , Mr. Cleveland's personal unpop ularity among the leaders of his party east was such that I never believed thnt ho could win without a political miracle. The men who four years ngo secured his election this year secretly hoped for his defeat. Patronage ago turned out to bo n two cgcd sword. While the hogs were quarreling over the trough , a united republican party , chastened by defeat , marched shoulder to shoulder to victory. ' Mr. Cleveland made the monumental mental mistake of trying to lead his party without taking his generals into his confi dence. His kitchen cabinet was Inexperi enced nnd subservient. The masses refused to follow , nud the generals are now laughing in their sleeves , and ostentatiously washing their hands of the whole business. There will bo no great mourning over Cleveland's defeat in Washington , office-holders alone exccpted.

A PnrniloY In Politics. Chicago Tribune : In analyzing the results of Tuesday's election , ono feature Ht.uuls out clearly : The democratic strength was In the cities. The republican strength wns on the fnrms nnd In the villages. The increased vote of the democrats in the cities is to bo accounted for by the largo accessions of nat uralized laboring men. The foreign labor vote went over to them almost solidly. It represents n majority of 55,000 in Now York citv , of 12,000 in Urooklyn with nil its fno- toncs , of 10,000 In Uultimoro. of tl.OOO In Hostoti , of 7,000 in San Francisco , of 4,000 in Detroit , 1,000 In Albany , 2,000 in Troy , nnd of It.SOO in Chicago.

Cleveland nH nn Accident. Globo-Uomocrat : Accidents of tlio am8 clnss uovor occur twice In succession m tha .same plnce. This Is true of the moral nnA political world ns It Is of the pliyHicul uni verse. The election of Grover Cleveland in lbS4 wns nn accident. In the triumph of the democratic candidate for the presidency in thnt year the probabilities wore violated n completely nnd na conspicuously as the proprieties were transgressed nnd outraged. No Intelligent , rightly constructed person imagined that Cleveland would bo elected simply bccausp no such person could bring himself to believe in the occurrence of nnyf thing so thoroughly , absurdly nnd flagrantly in violation of the eternal illness of things. A Great Jjoflson. Cleveland Loader : The triumph of tlia republican party yesterday contains a lesson which ho who runs may road. It moans that the intelligence nnd patriotism of the people of the great states of the north nro equal to nny work thut the wclfura of this great na tion mnv impose upon them. It proves that the majority nro on the side of progress and. honest government , and cannot bo deceived by the plausible sophistries of demagogues , misled by falsehood nnd culumnv , OP swerved from their duty by the corrupt uaq of money.

" New York Herald : "The political lesson of the election is that the nationul supremacy of the democratic-paily has been sacrificed to the ambition of David H , Hill and Abram S.
