The People at the Polls.
If the results of the great political
landslide of Tuesday demonstrate one
thingmore than another, says'the Wash-
ington Post, it is that when really great
principles are involved in a contest,
the merely partisan yoke hangs loosely
round the public neck.
Thousands of Republicans voted the
Democratic ticket a year ago in the be-
lief that the times Were propitious for
a change and that it would be a, salu-
tary thing for the country to intrnst
the legislative and executive control of
the government to the hands of'the Dem-
, ocratic party again. Results have not
come up to the popular expectation,
and theresponsibility is made to rest
primarily, whether justly so or not, up-
on the Cleveland,administration, or
, rather upon the majority in Congress,
which has fallen‘short of winning the
undivided confidence of the Country.
But there'is strong plausibility in
the Republican claim that the appre-
hended shifting of the tarifi' to a reve-
nue only basis, and especially the radi-
cal declarations of the Chicago platform
upon this subject, had much to do, with
‘ producting the reaction which relegates
to the rear the Democratic party.
This year thousands of Democrats
cast off their partisan allegiance and
supported the nien and measures of
the Republican party. In Massachu-
setts, in Ohio, in Iowa, the tariff ques-
tion exerted a powerful influence in
increasing Republican majorities.
There was much in the history of the
late extra session of Congress to cast a
shadow of doubt upon the wisdom of its
- policies and to call in question the
quality of its leadership. p
The people evidently found little in it
‘to augment their Democratic enthus-
iasm.
The great Republican victory in New
York, furnishes the most impressive
lesson of the day. Never was a party
more despotically imposed upon by its
bosses in defiance of public sentiment,
of political sagacity, of the judgement
of honest men, and never has machine
dictation been more effectually or de-
servedly rebuk" ’ “ " “.costshthe,._.party
practically everything, excepting its
municipal control of the city of New
York. It was a reckless sacrifice of
power and standing that might have
been retained, had not the spirit of
bossism undertaken to squelch utterly
out the spirit of a proud and patriotic
people. .It was a fatal undertaking, it
disastrously overreached itself ; it suc-
ceeded only in exhaustion the public
patience and in heaping obloquy and
defeat upon itself. Above the portals
. of Tammany Hall is written “Icha-
. bod.” If its glory has net wholly de-
parted, it was never before so badly
worsted, if not hopelessly broken.
Partisans and non - partisans alike
will now agree that it was a discredit-
able‘ andstupendous blunder to force
upon the people of the State a candi-
date for high judicial position who was
admittedly obnoxious to a large section
of his own party, and a necessary weak-
ness and heavy burden to the ticket.
"There was little if any money spent
by the Republicans in New York. They
had none to spend; they had no or-
ganisation 'to speak of. The outcome
shows that they needed neither. The
evil genius of f‘Boss” McKane and the
lik s of him did the workfor them neatly
. and with dispatch. »
Whatof the result in generalx‘r “It
brings the tariff question to the front
with a popular verdict against anything
in the nature of radical reduction or
revision. It shows that as a National
issue the tarifi‘ has taken fast hold upon
the people to the exclusion of local
questions and personal favoritism. It
has downed the race-track gamblers of
New J ersey‘and captured the Heuse of
Asseml. 3 . Ithasrolled up substantial

.. swelled to enormous preportions the
Republican majorities of Ohio, and
‘projected upon the national canvass for
1896, in conspicuous anl vivid lines,
the name of William McKinley. ,
It is due to the administration to say
that it is not wholly chargeable with
this Democratic disaster. The “hard
times” was' doubtless a factor that ex-
ercised considers .ile influence, and the
party ,in (power, necessarily sufi'ered
therefrom. - There was a grand army

started off Hanlon endeavored to drive,

and when Deegan attempted to take
the whip away Hanlon struck him over
the eye. In the scufiie the horse was
turned to one side and one of the for-
ward wheels cramped under the wagon
and broken. Deegan having been
pushed out of the wagon he started for
an officer. Finding oflicer Pennington
he reported the matter to him and
in company with the officer they went
to Godson’s, but failed to gain an en-
trance. -They returned to the depot
and when the party returned Captain
‘Colegrove placed Hanlon under arrest
_and took him to police headquarters
where he left his gold watch and chain

'Deegan then returned to the stables
with the team. About 3vo’clock this

__ wired to do him bodily harm, he hid

near the door, and I told him to make
no reply. This was, I should think,
about 4 o’clock. Just then a stone
came crashing thrmigh one ofthe win-‘
dows. Very soon heard, somebody
coming through the carriage stable,
' and the next thing I knew a man was
kicking Weston as he lay on the lounge.
I recognized the man as Danny Han-
lon. - ne saw us had made a mistake in
lg? man, for just then Williams said:
‘ ere is

ran‘ out into thegcaji riage room. I then
made} up my mind it was Deegan they
wereafter. . Deegan managed to make
his escape out of the back way.

found officers Northrop and Howard
and Hanlon and Williams together
on Wall street As I came up to the
officers I hear! one of them tel’ Dee-
gan to get out. f sight. and thi i he
went up into th police station.‘ The
ofiicers accompanied me back i the

there was nobody to arrest. Tli: t is

Mr. Deegan says that he came war

the doorway leading to the G izn'r'rn

He asserts that neither of the officers
showed any disposition to act upon his
request, other than to advise him to

USE DANA’S SARSAPARILLA,IT’S
“THE KIN ]) THAT CURES. ”
Catarrh. not Local. But Constltu-
tlonal.
Dr. Dio Lewis. the eminent Boston
physician, in a magazine article says:
“A radical error underlies nearly all
medical treatment of catarrh. It is
not a disease of thenian’s nose ; it is a
disease of the man, showing itself in
the nose—~a Local exhibition of a Con-
stitutional trouble.”v« Therefore, he ar-
gues, the use of snufi‘ and other local
applications is wrong, and while they
seem to give temporary relief, they,
really do more harm than good. Other
leading authorities agree with Dr. Lew-
is. Hence, the only proper method of
cure for catarrh is b taking a constitu-
tional remedy like ood’s Sarsaparilla,
which, reaching every part of the body
through the blood, does eliminate all
impurities and‘makes the whole man
healthier. It rer oves“the cause of the
trouble and rest: res the diseased mem-
brane to props condition. . That this
is the practic: l result is proven by
thousands 0 people who have been
cured of catarrh by taking Hood’s Sar—
sanarilla.

Labor Troubles at Danbury.
The mat munuiacturers have taken
the initiative in settling their several
questibns of'dispute between them and
the various trades uniOns, says the
Danbury News. they came to an un-
animous a recmeut last Tuesday night.
The menu acturerr who were not pres
cut that night consented ii the plan
the following day. In a few words the
manufacturers have (1“"l’16u to sever
all connections with the various trades
unions. ' , _ -
The nqtice means. as far as It goes,
that the manufacturers will sever ' all
agreements with the various unions
and will make theic own prices here-
_after. It does not mean as yet that
they will turn their shops foul or inde-
pendent, but simply that the factories
will be in the same condition as previ-
ous to 1885 .
The news of the action of the manu-
fa :turers was known at an early hour
Thirsday morning. The readers of
the different trade unions have consult-
ed together and they will take som-
actii. n on the issue as soon as possible.

there was no ’hope of saving the boat
when he and his wife and dog got into
a skifi‘ and rowed away._ hile so do-
ing he heard a cry for help from one of
the other barges, and rowing to the
same took on board the captain and
the trio rowed ashore. . .

nothing but a tin box containing a few
dollars, his clothing as well as that of
his wife going to the bottom with the
cat. -
He reported the accident to- the
Meeker Coal Co. as soon as he could
reach Norwalk. He was very nervous
and excited this morning, and fully ap-

but there was no insurance on the boat.
It is not known as to whether there
were any lives lost or not by the Sle-

about, then I tell you you are an infamous
liar; if you don’t know what you are
writing about, then I put you down as :s -
cussed fool and will , take no further
notice of you. I regard you as a jackass,
but still, if you are ofiended -at these re-
marks, come to see me and I will give
you satisfaction.”
