SATURDAY ...NOVEMBER 12, 1892
- AFTER THE BATTLE.
The result of the political contest
yesterday is the election of Mr. Cleve
land to the presidency for the next
- four years. Definite figures cannot be
given cf the vote in any of the states;
bat sufficient is known to warrant tho
statement that a -"great Democratic
victory has been achieved. This is
: somewhat surprising to many who
have entertained strong hopes that Mr,
Harrison would be re-elected to the
position of chief magistrate of the na.
tion, which he has so worthily filled
for the past four years; but there are
others who had no confidence ia Re
publican success since the nominations
were made at the Minneapolis conven
tion.
We do not consider this result as a
rebuke from the sovereign people of
the protection policy pursued by the
Republican paity, as the Democratic
candidate and platform were opposed
to each other on this vital question
The Chicaeo platform followed the
ideas of Mr. Watterson on the tariff,
and stated that any duties imposed
except for revenue were unconstitu
tional; but Mr. Cleveland modified
this materially in his letter of accept
ance, and declared that he was not in
favor of any economic policy that
would cripple American industries. If
he had endorsed the plank adopted by
t il. .: 1 nnnt,nn
he would have been defeated; but he
' was a much better politician than four
years before, and made a more careful
diagnosis of the public pulse than he
did in 1888.
. The empty howl- about hard times,
corporations and plutocracy had its
' effect upon the unthinking masses. It
made no difference if there was very
little truth in this doleful wail, and
that the country was much better
financially and in other ways than it
had been for many decades, it was de
claimed so frequently that the discon
tented classes imagined it true. That
was suiumeub lur iub yurinjav, auu
change became desirable with them.
The Populist movement is undoubt
edly responsible for the attraction of
many votes from ' the Republican
party in some states, and of causing a
majority in .favor of the Democratic
electors in others. Without the aid
of this organization Democracy could
not have been successful in Illinois or
California, and Colorado, Kansas,
Minnesota, Idaho and Nevada would
have elected solid delegations to the
electoral college for Mr. Harrison.
The members are perhaps honest in
their theories of finance and parental
ism of government; but these notions
have been proved impracticable and
detrimental to free institutions. It
appears to have been a periodical fa
naticism with them, as it was a few
years ago in favor of an unlimited is
sue of paper money, In 1896 it will
take a new form, and will attract che
same class of followers.
Tammany did earnest work in New
York, and will undoubtedly be liber
ally rewarded for its trouble. Eight
years ago Mr. Cleveland was elected
bv means of disaffected mtiswuaiEs.
because he opposed this ripe of poli
ticians: but the tables are turned, and
he now owes his success in a great
measure to bis former bitterest ene
mies. As a class of unscrupulous po
litical wire-pullers the disciples of
Tammany have no equals in the conn
try. -
Tho trpnpral rlpnire for a. nhantrn ia
always prominent in the mercurial dis
position of our citizens, and however
prosperous the country may become
under any policy, it cannot continue
very long. "Variety is the epice of
life" with Americans, ana they require
it as much in politics as in their daily
food.
These f re . the principal factors
that caused the defeat of -Mr. Har
rison yesterday, and, while Republi
cans cannot be expected to change
their opinions of governmental policies,
which have borne such crucial tests in
the past thirty years, they are patri
otic American citizens and will peace
fully acquiesce in the result. Mr.
Cleveland will be the president of 65,
000,000 people, and perhaps a ma
jority of these are of Republican pre
dilections. Although the platform on
which he was elected has demanded
radical changes in the government,' we
do not apprehend that in his message
to the next congress he will recom
mend the abolition of duties on foreign
imports, the repeal of the law estab
lishing national banks or the adoption
of a ruinous free-silver policy. We
are no less a Republican when we
state that we are firmly convinced the
country will prosper under his admin
istration, if free-trade heresies are not
adopted, and that the rights of Ameri
can citizens will ' be held sacred under
the constitution. It would have been
much more gratifying to have had Mr.
Harrison, the candidate of our choice,
elected; but, as it ia, the distinctive
Republican policies on economics and
finance are so .firmly engrafted in the
history of the conatry that wo do not
believe they will be materially altered,
and the United States will still be a
great and glorious nation.
A GOOD RECORD.
The Democrats have not ceased
hurrahing over their victory last Tues
day, and if they are honest in their
statements that the result of the elec
tion is an emphatic endorsement of
free-trade or tariff for revenue only
and condemnation of protection as ad
vocated by the Republican party, it
may be expected that Mr. Cleveland
will inaugurate a radical change in the
administration of national affairs
Since 1861 protection has been in
operation, and Republicans can point
with pride to the prosperity of the
nation under its provisions. If there
is not another president elected for a
long number of years who has affiliated
with the party, and if 'Democracy
gains complete control of both houses
of congress, Republicans have no need
to be ashamed of the record from 1861
to 1892. The government ha3 existed
for over a century, and there is no
more prosperous epoch in its history
than that during which Republican
principles have been followed both ic
the executive and legislative branches.
We sav this, fullv aware that the
popular vote cast last Taesday was in
favor of a change. There is no more
fear that the party will disintegrate
after tli defat this year than there
was after 1S56 or 1884. The doc
trines on which it is founded are as
lasting aa the hills, and are the only
enes upon which free institutions can-
firmlv and safely rest. They have
been tested in different emergencies,
and in every instance have bpen suc
cessful.
A PURE BALLOT.
From Monday's Daily.
To-morrow the people of the United
3'ates will exercise the supremest act
of sovereignty ever ' delegated to free
citizens, and that is the choice of
chief magistrate of 65,000,000 people
bv the ballot. That the decision is of
the most vital importance, and there
fore should be given after the most
careful thought, should be apparent
to everv patriotic American citizen. It
- - - a
will be admitted by all that the purity
of the ballot is the most substantial
support of frpe institutions, and if this
is not expressive of the individual will
of every freeman then freedom is
farce and sovereignty a sham. Suffi
cient time has elapsed since the differ
ent nominations were made for every
elector to have given due consideration
to the platforms adopted, and a fair
and full discussion his been made of
the questions now before the peopla.
With this preparation, an intelligent
vote would be cast regarding the policy
of the nation for the next four years,
if other conditions were prevailing.
But the complications arising from fu
sion of Democrats and Populists in
some states will make it most difficult
to determine the popular will after the
votes have been counted. If Repub
licans, Democrats, Populists and Pro
hibitionists were to vote only for the
candidates of their choice and the
principles which they believe underlie
the best interests of the republic, then
the act of sovereignty to-morrow
would be decisive respecting the rela
tive strength of the political organiza
tions npw battling for supremacy; but,
as it is, the verdict will not be conclu
sive regarding this matter, and the
ballot-box will be used to thwart the
expression or tne sovereign people.
Under such circumstances the object
of universal suffrage is not attained,
and however free from other extrane
ous influences, the ballot is twisted
into channels to suit the selfish desires
of politicians.
LOCAL INTERESTS.
! Now that the election contest is 'de
cided we hope our citizens will go to
work for the interests of this region
with renewed vigor. There are mat
ters of the greatest importance to our
development and prosperity that re
quire attention, and there should be
an united effort in this direction by all
people in this community. An open
river win re as benenciai to JJemo-
crats and Populists as to Republi
cans or Prohibitionists, and, as
it may be considered certain
the improvement at toe Cascades
will be prosecuted with vigor as
soon as the contract is let, the greater
interest should be manifested in a
portage road around the obstructions
between this city and Celilo. The
next legislature should be petitioned
for an appropriation for this purpose,
and Eastern Oregon is entitled to this
recognition from the state. Western
Oregon has nearly every public insti
tution, and the region east of the Cas
cades should not hesitate to ask for a
sufficient amount to relieve the pro
ducers temporarily from the oppress
ive railroad freight rates until the
more substantial improvement can be
made by tho government. Every
Democratic and Republican paper in
Eastern Oregon should throw aside
all political bickerings, and unite in a
strenuous effort until the convening of
the legislature to procure an appropri
ation for a porage road from The
Dalles to Celilo.
Every Republican and Democrat
who have cast their lot with the Peo
ple's party because they believed the
principles advocated are most sub
servient to the best interests of the
government should resent with indig
nation the efforts being made to use
them as the means by which the cor
rupt Tammany ring of New York poli
ticians can get control of the govern
ment. An honest difference of opin
ion respecting national policies is the
privilege of freemen; but trickery and
chicanery to secure votes are methods
only resorted to by dishonest poli
ticians. The order of Chairman Mur
phy for Democrats to sacrifice their
principles and vote tor the Weaver
electors is an insult to every intelli
gent member of the party, and is only
used to thwart the expression of the
sovereign people of Oregon. This
comes from Boss Harrity of New York
city, and emanated from Tammany.
If Oregon Democrats had carried
out the orders of Mr. Murphy, chair
man of the central committee, this
state would have given her electoral
vote to Mr. Weaver; but as it is she
till remains in the Republican col
umn. JNo blame can be attached to
Democrats for supporting party prin
ciples, and we should be in a much
more tranquil condition if the party in
other portions of the country had done
the same. When elections are carried
by strict party votes the result is in
dicative of the popularity of each or
ganization; but "fusion" makes this
very uncertain.
TEE TRUE CAUSE.
Judge O'Day said Friday nfcht that
the country was prosperous, and
rounded a period very eloquently by
describing in choice language our ad
vancement; but this is not to be cred
ited to Republican administrative
policies, but to GoJ Almighty and the
untiring energy of American manhood
and womanhood to bountiful har
vests and the broad acres that have
been cultivated and made to produce
abundantly. It is fair argument to
consider the conditions under which
national prosperity has been enjoyed,
and by that means arrive at a correct
conclusion of the cause; for it is not to
be presumed that the deity has been
especially beneficent to the United
Slates more than other countries, and
that as a result we enjoy peace and
plenty, when, under the same condi
tions, different nations would have
suffered disaster. In 1865, when the
war closed, with a public debt of over
three billions hanging over the people
as the cost of the civil war, and our in
dustries crippled, if we had followed
the Democratic doctrine of "t qui table
adjustment" the national credit would
have been injured. Again, if the
Morrill tariff bill had not been adopt
ed, this debt would never have been
as nearly liquidated as it is, for
Democratic orators said at the time
that it was a burden which would be
felt for generations yet unborn. Still
later, if resumption of specie payments
had not been adopted, our currency
would have continued in a depreciated
state, ai.d capital would not have been
invested in such an unstable country.
The history of the past thirty years
may be canvassed in this same manner
to find the reasons that the United
States overcame the most gigantic re
bellion of modern times, established
its credit, paid its debt and inaugu
rated industries, and became a pros
perous and happy people; and every
one of the factors would be found to
have emanated from the Republican
party. On the contrary, it would also
be found that every measure originated
and passed by Republican congresses,
which have stimulated progress, have
been opposed by Democrats, both in
the halls of the national legislature
and in the platfarms drafted by the
party in conventions, from the prose
cution of the war for the preservation
of the union to the McKinley bill. If
facts could be blotted from the 'pages
of history, and the memory of many
living witnesses be entirely impaired,
it would be possible for a Democratic
speaker to interest an audience by a
panegyric upon American manhood
and womanhood; but the determined
opposition of the Democratic party to
the statesmanship of such men as Lin
coln, Chase, Morrill, Sherman and
McKinley is too well-known to many
now living to be covered up by an elo
quent peroration. These facts will
always remain incontrovertible. The
prosperity of the United States since
the terrible civil war has been caused
by the wise legislation of the Repub
lican party, and in every instance
these measures have been opposed by
the Democracy.
Defeat is frequently beneficial to a
party, and often has the effect to rid it
of barnacles and stimulate its members
to greater diligence. If the rebuke
received at the ballot-box last Tues
day acts this way on the Republican
organization it will be a blessing, even
if it is . disguised in the unwelcome
garb of disaster. With one exception,
for over thirty years every administra
tion has been Republican, and, while
the principles advocated and the leg
islation enacted have been for the best
interests of the American people, the
party has attracted to it those whose
only object was selfish aggrandisement
and a desire tor public office. These
will naturally follow in the wake of
victory, and all honest, patriotic Re
publicans may feel thankful that they
will no lenger hang around the ranks
of the party. "Public office is a publio
trust" is a good motto, and no politi
cal organization can adopt a better
one. In the hour of its affliction, if
the grand old party will purify itself
from contaminating influences such as
bossism, the caucus and machine rule,
it will enter the campaign of 1896
stronger than ever.
The Times-Mountaineer, the same
as other papers in this vicinity, has
labored earnestly during the past few
months for the success of the party of
its choice, and now, that the campaign
is ended, is willing to unite in a grand
effort for needed enterprises to impel
growth and prosperity in this city and
vicinity. The Dalles needs an open
Columbia river from the highest navi
gable waters to the sea, and manufac
turing industries to furnish a better
market for the products of Eastern
Oregon. There will be' no politics in
these needed improvements; but there
will be business prosperity and com
mercial advancement, and a united
effort will accomplish the object.
Bids for the construction of the
locks at the Cascades will be let in a
few days, and the greater attention
should now be paid to the portage
railroad from this city to Celilo. This
should be undertaken by the state,
and the next legislature will make the
necessary appropriation for that pur
pose if our people evince sufficient
earnestness, in the matter. Every
community east of the Cascade moun
tains is interested in this great im
provement, and the press should be a
unit in impressing upon the minds of
the people its importance. But a few
weeks will elapse before the legisla
ture convenes, and there ia no ti me to
be wasted. .
The dispatches to-day say that
prominent men in England refuse to
give an opinion on the result of the
eleotion in the United States, and this
ia commendable on their part There
should be no interference in European
politic!) by our citizens, and foreigners
should luave us alone in our political
contests. M uvtrc'iies can have no
sympathy with republics, and vice
versa This is a good rule, and it
works well both ways.
The bravery of a soldier is better
illustrated by the exercise of coolness
in defeat than by ardor and enthusi
asm in the hour of victory; and the
moral fortitude of Mr. Harrison is
more fully demonstrated by his calm'
ness in the midst of the crushing dis
aster at the polls to his hopes and ex
pectationf, following so soon the great
heart sorrow of the loss of his wife,
than by any other act of bis life.
The reasons given' for the Republi
can defeat Tuesday are various and
eover considerable ground. The most
convincing one is, the Cleveland elect
ors polled more votes than those on
the Harrison ticket.
Republicans may as well give up
gracefully, and demand of Democracy
that it gives the people free-trade, as
advocated in the Chicago platform.
TELEGEAPHI0 HEWS.
The Next House.
New York, Nov. 9 At 1 -30 o'clock the
reports so far received indicate that the Dem
ocratic majority in the next national house of
representatives has been but little, if any de
creased. In New York, the Republicans ap
pear to have elected but 10 of the 34 repre
sentatives, a Democratic gain of one. New
Jersey and Connecticut have not apparently
changed their present division ot representa
tion, except that the Democrats in New Jersey
have gained an additional member accorded
by the new apportionment. The south has
rolled up almost solid delegations from every
state. Alabama has an additional member
the 53d congress, and it is a Democratic gain
also Arkansas. Georgia gains a new member
and recovers the district now represented by
Watson, the alliance member. The Repub
lican gains are one in New Hampshire, eight
in Ohio, and one in Oregon. Although the
Republicans carried Rhode Island on the
presidential ticket, the reports are that no se
lection lor congressman was made, necessi
tating another election.
THE UNCERTAIN STATES.
Owing to the absence of reports from the
Central and Western states, and the uncer
tainty as to the results in the congressional
districts, it is impossible to even attempt to
approximate the total representation of the
several parties in the next house, but It will be
Democratic.
Telescoped a Caravel Train.
Greenville, O., Nov. 8. A northbound
passenger train on the Mackinaw railroad
telescoped a north-bound gravel train yester
day evening about one mile south of this city,
The engine pulling the gravel train ran out
of coal and cut loose and ran into town and
coaled up, and while being turned jumped
the track and was nnable to get back to the
track. John Dougherty, brakeman on the
gravel train, was asleep in the caboose, in'
stead of being back flagging the passenger
train, which was nearly due. I he passenger
train came along at the rate of 40 miles an
hour, and the gravel train was not been in
time to stop the passenger engine. It dashed
through the caboose, where the breakman
was sleeping, and on through, telescoping nvi
loaded cars. It then turned over and rolled
down a steep embankment, and lies on its
side buried in the mud. C. M. Huff, engi
neer, and Conway, hreman of the passen
ger, both jumped just as the engine started
down the embankment. Both were seriously
hurt about the back and internally. Dough'
erty, the brakeman, was cut and mangled in a
terrible manner, and cannot live. About 20
passengers were aboard, and all were hurt
more or less. C. A. Hedrick, a mail clerk,
and wife were passengers on the train, and
both were badly injured. The damage done
to the engine, cars and track is about $ 30,000,
Washington.
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 8 The result in
Washington can only be estimated, but con
servative estimates are that Harrison carried
the state by over 3000, likewise McGraw and
the Republican state ticket. Wilson and
Doolittle, Republicans, for congress, are elec
ted by about the same majority.
Three precincts complete and 27 precincts
incomplete, out of 45 in the city of Seattle
give Harrison 322,' Cleveland 277, Weaver
146, McGraw 608, Young 206, Snively 243
and Oreene 33.
The count is very slow and will not be
completed before to-morrow night. The day
was cool and cloudy and everything was quiet.
The Australian system was very slow, but
satisfactory. .Long lines of men stood at each
of the 45 polling places. Reports from all
over the state indicate that a heavy vote was
polled.
Eagle Gorge precinct, this county, voted as
follows: Harrison 7, Cleveland 10, Weaver
I, McGraw 7, Snively II, Doolittle and
Wilson 6 each, Carroll 9, Monday 10.
President Harrison.
Washington, Nov. 8. The usual in

Harrison received returns at the White
House in company with Secretary Foster,
Attorney General Miller and Secretary
Tracy. The party continued to receive

The Koreina Press.
London, Nov. 9. The retarni of the
American election were received too late
for the morniDg papers to comment on
the result. The PaU MaJX Gazelle this
afternoon bbjs both the merchants and
unemployed workingmen of England
have reason to rejoice at the Democratic
victory, as with the possibility of re
opening the American markets to the
goods of England, capitalists will get a
chance to procure some return ou their
money invested, and the workingmen
will have an opportunity to obtain de
cent prices for labor without the neccs
iiy ot striking.
The St. James Gazette says some satis
faction is felt in England at Cleveland's
going back to the White Housa. The
Blaiue-Harrion regime, it adds, is far
from agreeable to British in'eri-sts, and
the majority of the American people be
lieve it equally prejudicial to themselves,

army. JLiuSt winter luej ueguu lunug
emigrants met on tbe roads to their home
and there arranging to lead tbem over tbe
border into Prussia by routes not watched
by the frontier guards. ' Only emigrants
with considerable baggage were treated
thus. In tbe evenings tbe young brother
would take tbe emigrants into a dense
forest, where tbe elder brother waited
for tbe party. Then tbe two brothers set
upon tbe emigrants and beat out their
brains with clubs. Tbe bodies were
buried under leaves and a tbin covering
of dirt, and tbe baggage was taken to
tbe homes of the Kenliknvski family, to
be sold later in the city. Tbe bodies of
10 persons murdered in this way were
found in the forest by tbe police. Others
are supposed to la there still.. Tbe
eleventb known victim was a man wbo
sought shelter with tbe family from a
storm. He was scalded to death with
hot water by the wife of this younger
brother while her husband and brother-in-law
held him The body was placed
in the stable and was there discovered by
a neighbor, wbo caused tbe arrest of tbe
whole family.
Ex-Senator Edmonds.
New Yobk, Nov. 10 ExScnator
George F. Edmunds, of Vermont, wbo
came borne from Europe last week espec
ially to vote, was in New York to day
Tbe overwhelming Democratic victory in
the presidential election completely up
set him. He said :
"I have not yet bad time to study the
surprising Democratic victory. My faith
in pretention and the benefits derived
from the McKinley law were so strong
tbat tbe reault is a source of great dis
appointment. I thougut President Har
rison would win on the tariff isane and
Itbe currency issue. But the reault of tbe
.1 .1 . V, !, - I-
eicvliuu accuia III OUVW k 1 1 G poupc,
or at least the voters, bave gone wrong
on the tariff. This is my impression after
a hurried examination of the vote. I
think that many Republicans wbo may
not believe in a bigb protective tariff
voted for Cleveland, so tbat bis election
is not altogether a Democratic victory.
I do not tbink tbat tbe result will change
the policy, or influence, or vote of tbe
Rt publican party, nor affect protection.
I believe the Republican party will be
just as stiODg as ever in 1896."
To Keep Oat the Cholera.
Washington, Nov. 10 In view of the
still lingering possibility of a fresh out
break of cholera in European countries
in tbe early spring, and the consequent
danger of its introduction into the United
States, officials of tbe treasury depart
ment have determined to maintain the
utmost vigilance in guarding against the
entrance of people or merchandise tbat
might possibly convey germs ot tbe
dreadful epidemic. To this end, immi
gration will be generally discouraged and
tbe provisions of tbe president's procla
mation ot September 1, imposing a quar
antine of 20 davs on ail suspected immi
grants, will be vigorously enforced. The
transportation companies have been
given to understand tbat tbe department
reserves the right to remove the restric
tion in special cases calling tor sucb ac
tion. According to official construction,
all alicDS wbo come to this country for
permanent residence are immigrants, and
will be treated as such regardless ol
whether tbey travel in tbe cabin or steer
age.
Secretary Bank.
Chicago, Nov. 10 Secretary Rusk, on
his way back to Washington, after voting
for Harrison in his home in Wisconsin
was at tbe Grand Pacific to day. He said
"We were cleaned out: that's all there
is about it. In my opinion the tariff was
tbe whole and sole cause of it. There
bad been a howl about the tariff every
where, and tben tbe Homestead affair
made the laboring classes discontented
Undoabtedly there baa been a change of
public sentiment as to tbe tariff. The
reform spirit ia growing, and tbe result
has been a clean sweep."
The New Orleans Strike.
New Orleans, Nov. 10. Governor
Foster is expected to issue a proclama
tion to day assuming control. Tbe mu
nicipal authorities are seemingly unequal
to tbe occasion. The mayor issued
proclamation this morning calling on all
good citizens to present themselves at
the city ball to be sworn in as special
policemen. Only 18 men answered tbe
summons. The police force are worn out
and demoralized witn tbe protracted
duties. Eleven' military companies of
tbe state are under arms. Some of tbe
printers have gone back to work.
An Attempted Be volution.

at Cape Haytien. Hippolyte was on tbe
alert, however, and nipped tbe revolution
in tbe bud. There were many arrests.
and it is rumored some executions. The
Manigal party bas nothing to do with tbe
affair, and expressed much surprise when
tbe news reached here. It may interfere
with some of their plans by putting Hip
polyte on bis guard.
Three Killed and Three Wounded.
Coluhbu8, O., Nov. 10 Further news
of tbe tragedy in Anderson county on
election day shows three wero killed and
three bystanders wonnded. R. G. Carter,
a Republican supervisor, in a quarrel
with J. W. Eatle, a Democrat, fired st the
later and bit Columbus Glenn, tbe Dem
ocratic manager. Carter continued to

Despondency is supposed to be the cause,
He leaves a large estate in good shape.
