OF TIIK CAMPAIGN
i;6l!CATION.
OF
The recent state elections in the enst
show an unprecedented and surprising
revolution in public sentiment, and
demonstrates that the campaign of
education inaugurated by Cleveland is
progressing more rapidly than his
must sanguine friends had reason to
expect. Tho claim mado by republi
cans that local issues were the cause
of the sweeping democratic victories
will not hold good. The Examiner
truthfully says :
"Taking each ease separately there
were local issues that might have been
held to explain the result, but if local
issues alone had been involved the
drift would not have been all one way
, Some states would have shown rcpub
lican and others democratic gains
The attempt to explain away Tues
day's figures without admitting the
inilucnco of any national considcra
tions is like tho attempts of tho Con
sorvatives in England to explain away
their successive defeats at bye elections
without reference to Homo Rule1"
It would not bo fair to compare the
vote in an off year liko this with that
in a presidential contest. Comparing
off year with off year, Ictus tee how
we stand.
Ohio lias given a democratic mnjori
ty of at least 10,000 and elected a dem
ocratic legislature. Two years ago
Foraker was elected governor by
majority of 2.'$,32i) and tho legislature
was republican by fourtcon in tho sen
ate and twenty in tho House.
Iowa is democratic by not less than
10,000. Two years ago tho republican
majority was 1G,1G().
New York is democratic by about
25,000 and tho republicans estimate
their mnjority on joint ballot in the
legislature at ten. Two years ago tho
head of tho democratic state ticket
was elected by 17,077, and tho republi
can majority in tho legislature was
twenty-six.
Virginia is democratic by .'iO.OOO
Two years ago tho democratic plurali
ty on tho legislative ticket tho only
ono voted for was '120.
Now Jersey is democratic by about
10,000. Three years ago the majority
was 8,020.
Massachusetts is republican by 7,f00.
Two years ago a republican govornor
was elected by 17,(10(5.
Pennsylvania is republican by at
least 00,000. This is tho only quarter
in which material republican gains aro
reported. Jn loo tlio majority was
ir,2M.
Delow wo givo tho opinions of tho
prominent newspapers of tho nation
in regard to tho causes that led to this
extraordinary chango in public sonti
mont. Tho Wot Id attributes tho victory to
tho indorsement given to tho demo
cratic demand for tariff reform. This
is tho World's reasoning :
"In all tho states save Virginia,
whoro Mahono was the solo issue, tho
democratic conventions took tho
World's advico and nailed to tho mast
the banner of tax reduction through
tariff roform. .
"Tho Now York convention reaf
firmed tho national platform of 1888,
und 'steadfastly advocated tho princi
ples of tariff reform.' Tho democratic
plurality is !12,000, a gain over 18S7 of
0,000.
"Tho Now Jersey convention 'reaf
firmed tho national democratic plat
form of 1888.' Tho democratic plural
ity is 12,000.
"Tho Ohio convention 'reaffirmed
tho national platform of 1888, especial
ly that pari domandiug the reduction
of tariff taxes.' Foraker is beaten ; his
plurality of 28,1129 in 1887 is wiped out,
and Ohio is democratic for tho first
timo in six years.
"Tho Massachusetts convention de
clared boldly for 'free raw material
and lower duties upon tho necessities
of life.' The republican plurality of
32,000 last year is nearly overcome,
and Massachusetts, a former Gibraltar
of republicanism, is made a doubtful
fltato.
"Tho I own convention doolared itoolf
in 'opposition to tho unconstitutional
and unjust policy of high tariff taxa
tion which robs the many to enrich
tho few.' Bosult, a iolitical revolu
tion. Tho stato is carried by tho dem
ocrats for the first time in its history."
Tho Times says editorially : "It was
Haiti in private in October, 1888, by a
prominent republican politician, who
is also a very clear-headed man, that
if tho canvass could bo extended for
nixty tlaya Mr.Cloveland would carry
at lpast threo Northern states. This
gentleman's opinion is ko clearly con
firmed by tho elections of Tues'l.
that he must have a peculiar satisfac
tion in tho fact that the president and
party, who have tinco given him a
very lucrative Federal office, did not
have to face the people for two months
longer.
Republicans will, of course, stoutly
deny that it is a sign of the end of
public opinion, and will repudiate the
allegations that it can bo regarded as
a popular verdict on the administra
tion. But even they must admit that
the coincidence is sufficiently remark
able to demand explanation."
The Herald comments as follows:
"It is now eight months since Mr.
Harrison assumed control of the Fed
eral government. Tho elections just
over are the first that have occurred
during his administration. The fact,
therefore, that the democratic vote has
increased in nearly all sections, and to
such an extent that it may be com
pared to a tidal wave, is as interesting
as it is suggestive."
Tho Sun says, in n double-leaded
leader: "During tho late canvass
Hon. Frank Hiscock declared that the
time was near at hand when the vote
of New York, always so difficuit of at
tainment by the republicans, would
ceaso to elect a president. Amid the
party re-echoes o'f this opinion our
esteemed contemporary, the .St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, ventured to tho con
clusion that the new stales have given
tho republicans a lead which virtually
makes them independent of New York
in the future. Tho vision that has for
years monopolized republican fancy
was to materialize at last. Tho result
of recent elections in other states,
however, has been to increase, rather
than to diminish, Now York's import
ance as a decisive stato in presidential
contests and to make her more than
ever the great electoral prize.
"The blows to tho republicans in
Virginia, Ohio, Massachusetts and
Iowa show that the pinch of tho strug
gle in 1802 will bo hero as it was here
in 1870. in 1880, in 1881 and in 1888,
and it will bo fiercer than ever. As
for tho election in New York it con
firms with tho emphasis of sovon years'
uninterrupted demonstrations that by
naturo Now York is a democratic
stato."
The Tribune says: "As tho smoko
clears away, the republicans aro found
to havo sustained defeat m important
quarters, whoro the dispatches last
night appeared to sustain their claims
of victorv. They aro beaton in Ohio
both on tho stato ticket and on the
legislature, according to tho latest re
ports. "In Iowa tho belief that the country
would overcome tho largo democratic
gains in tho cities has proved falla
cious. Hie fanners Alliance evident
ly cast a heavy voto against tho entire
ticket because of their hostility to tho
republican candidate for governor,
whoso course in tho legislature on tho
anti-railroad measures had displeased
them. The republicans have saved
tho legislature in Iowa and New York,
and gained tho senate in Now Jersey
and carried tho stato tickets and legis
latures in Massachusetts, Pennsylva
nia and Nebraska. Hut indisputably
tho tide ran strongly in favor of tho
democrats."
Tho Stunts Zeitung, in a long edito
ial on tho significance of tho Ohio
and Iowa elections, attributes much of
tho republican dofeat to tho indopoud-
nt German vote. Tho Zoitung ad
mits that local questions played some
part in tho attains but ovor all tho dis
satisfaction with llarison and the non
fulfillment of his promises was the
most important factor. In Ohio, de
feat was almost certain, owing to tho
offensive position assumed by Foraker
on tho Sunday question and on tho
prohibition issue.
"Still," remarks tho Zoitung, "the
general policy of tho government and
tendency of tho present administration
was felt to be quite in accord with tho
general tontiment voiced by local can
didates in both states. Hoth local and
national issues entered into the cam
paign, and in a manner to insure a
till more severe republican defeat, at
any subsequent election."
Tim following simple method for
prospectors to ascertain tho amount of
gold contained in quart, is from tho
San Francisco Mining Itovievv : First
weigh tho quarty. dry. Then weigh it
in water, suspending the quartz by a
thread. Next divido tho dry weight by
tho difference between wet and dry
(adding decimals if necessary.) Sub
tract from this result tho weight of
quarts (usually 210 or 201 for free
gold, but 2(i.r to 270 il tilled with sul
phttrets.) Multiply this result by tho
weight of gold, vix: 128. Then multi
ply this amount by tho ronull of Mib
traction of wet from dry. The result
will be, after pointing oil all decimals
that havo beeiLiiddud, the exact woielit
in gold.

The('l"".land, Ohio Union says:
"Tho tniitf in tho greatest commercial
enemy that assails this country. It
lias driven American ships off the seas
and reduced trade to foteigu ports to
i comparatively nothing. Our natural
1 -r'nnh nml lropority Una been made
in . pite of the tariff, not by reason of
it. We have hud free trade across
three thousand miles of territory
abounding in natural riches. An arti
ficial wall separates us from equally
boundless resources across the Canadi
an line, which might bo developed to
natural advantage were it not for the
illogical reasoning which stops short
out of respect to tradition. With free
trade over the whole continent north
of the Rio Grande, does any intelligent
citizen doubt that tho whole people
would bo the gainers? Does it not fol
low logically, that if this bo true, that
tho wider the area covered by free
commerce, the better it would be for
all? Freedom to trade without paying
toll for tho privilege, is all that the
people of this country need in order to
make it a commercial giant among the
twwers of the civilized world. Wo
havo coddled and nursed infant indus
tries and loaded our people with taxes
that the few might grow fat at public
expense, while contiguous countries
pour their riches by thousands of tons
daily into foreign vessels, and millions
of wealth are diverted yearly from our
own people. The light to trade freely
is a natural right, the denial of which
is responsible in one wav or another
for our industrial disease. The artifi
cial prospeiity bolstered up by the
tarifi' system is rapidly collapsing. In
freedom there is strength."
CI-KVUIiAXl)'.'! POPULARITY.
The Examiner mistakes the influ
ence of tho Chicago Ilorald and the
Now Yorlc Sun when it treats their
inimical actions as conclusive of Mr.
Cleveland's future. No nitia who iden
tities himself with a vital idea can be
set aside by two newspapers, nor by
two thoutaud. If the country recog
nizes the need of sustaining t ho inspi
ration of the idea, the man who more
than nil others represents it need not
concern himself about his future, for
ho cannot change nor avoid it. So
far into the first year of his retirement
from power Mr. Cleveland remains the
most conspicuous and certainly the
most respected leader in tho union.
Other names command tho applause
or disfavor of factions, but his grows
in tho esteem of tho people. At the
recent meetings of tho democratic
clubs of Pennsylvania, presided over
by tho son of Jeremiah Ulack, tho fol
lowing scono occurred
Whon tho chairman mentioned
Cleveland's naiiio the scone was in
striking contrast to the previous ono.
Randall and anti-Randall sentiment
was forgotten, and, as if by ono accord,
the entire assembly arose en masse.
With some on chairs shouting and
others waving tho small Hags used for
indication purposes, the delegates went
wild with enthusiasm, and tho shout
ing and cheering continued until
through sheer exhaustion many of
them wero forced to quit; S. F. Alta,
OKltr.ON SCHOOL LANDS.
Assistant Commissioner Stone ro"
contly rendered a decision in a caso
which involved tho question of proof
in the school indemnity sections in
Oregon. Oregon was .granted every
sixteenth and thirty-sixth section of
land for school purpose. Tho law also
provided that, in ease of any of theso
lands were entered, under tho public
land laws prior to the date of the grant,
the stale should be entitled to indemni
ty therefor and might make indemnity
selections front any unoccupied public
lauds. In pursuance of this authority
tho stato it appears, selected in tho ag-
grogato u large tract of land upon
which expired pre-emption filings
woro on record. Tho question at issuo
was whether the burden of tho proof
of tho fact that the filings had expired
rostod with the stato or with tho pat
ties who made the filings. Tho assis
tant commissioner holds in favor of
tho state, and has directed that in such
cases the pre-emptor shall bo required
to appear baforo the local land oilico
within twenty days after receipt of the
notice and show cause why tho entry
has not been cancelled, thus throwing
the burden of proof upon tho entry
man. It is said that there aro a largo
number of, eases in the general land
ornco to U dis-msed of thus.
