AVe are not responsible for the views of correspondents. Anonymous communications go to the waste basket. lloav They Toted. Louisiana gives 3,000 democratic majority. AVest Virginia gives 3,000 republi can majority. Virginia is in doubt. Harrison carries a solid North esespt Conneticut, Delaware and New Jersey. Alary land sends 3 republicans and 3 democrats to Congress. Arkansas elects 3 republican Con gressmen. The republicans have the legisla ture in Delaware and will elect two IT. 8. Senators to succeed two demo crat: Cains and Losses. This city shows a largo increase on the vote of 1884. The democrats gained largely in every ward, while tiic republicans gained in all except ward 3, where there was a falling off of 8S votes. The republican gams in the city were : Ward 1, 11 ; ward 2, 82: ward 4, 38. Democratic gains were: Ward 1, 02; ward 2, 35; ward 3, 45; ward 4, 145. The democratic aad the republican county chairmans both live in ward 3. While tvo do not eare to criticise any one here, let the reader study well these figures and remember what wo said tv." " Celts ago about the organization and management of the republican forces. In this county and township we had all to gain and nothing to lose hut votes. All manner of fraud and intimi dation is being practiced in North Carolina and other Southern States by the democrats. Wolfpit township in llichmond county was thrown out because the democratic registrar didn’t stay at the polling place all day Sat urday. PRESIDENTIAL VOTES.

The result of last Tuesday is a glorious victory for the republican party of the nation, though our State ticket is counted out, as usual. Mr. Harrison gets 239 electoral votes, and Mr Cleveland gets 162. The repub lican majority in the U. S. Senate is increased, and the republicans elect a majority of the members of Congress. We again have all branches of the government. It is a glorious victory. The Republicans in Power. The republicans have carried the country—They have not only elected their President and kept a majority of the Senate, hut they have also won the control of the House of Represen tatives. The entire machinery of the gov ernment is in their hands, and they may be expected to make full use of their opportunities. They will, of course, take possession in the coming March of the more important offices. Next they will eject the Democrats in the. departments at Washington. Then they will get in their men in the post-offices, the internal revenue bureau, the custom houses, etc., etc., until they have once more an army of camp-followers one hundred thousand strong. Harrison will say : “lam a Re publican” with all that that implies. — Chronicle. Right. Mr. Harrison is expected to turn every democrat out of office, and not only the democrats, hut every republican office holder who has not shown his hand in this fight. There are plenty experienced men outside waiting to take the places as soon as the Senate confirms the Cabinet offi cers. If the revenue remains we will have the republican red legs take the place of the democratic blue bottles. POPULAR VOTE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. 1884. | 1880. ie ! £ STATUS.

Speech at New York’* Great Ratification Meeting—A Disturber Silenced. Tho greatest and grandest ratification meeting in tho history of the Republican party in Now York was held in tho Metro politan Opera house. Ten thousand voters wore inside and several thousand more wero unablo to get In. Tho enthusiasm was unprecedented. CoL Robert Ingersoll was tho principal orator, and here are some of tho Incidents of his speech: “And now,” said Mr. Ingersoll, “we reach another principle) enunciated in this wonderful platform, for It is full of good things—protection for American labor.” When Mr. Ingersoll uttered this sen tcnco tho audience roso In its places and cheered again and again. “I want this republic,” ho continued, “separate and widespread of the rest of tho world, so that If every port wero blockaded wo would bo covered with pros perity os a mantel. Ido not want to see us a country producing merely raw make rials. Tho mere producer of raw mate rials is always a pauper. “A country that says you shall manu facture and sell your products will grow intelligent and rich. Raw materials are nothing, labor Is everything Take a lo comotive and examino it. What are the raw materials in it worth smoldering in tho ground where they have laid for cen turies? What are they worth?” A Voice—Not a dollar. •Well, wo will sayfo. The locomotive completed, made a living thing with ribs of iron and steel and breath of fire, is worth $12,000 Eleven thousand nino hundred and ninety five dollars represents tho labor of man in it 3 production. This is what Americans want protected. This is what tho Republican party declares It will protect. [Great cheers.] “Tho south sells its raw cotton. The Republican party wants to sco tho south covered with mills with their shuttles busy manufacturing their cotton into goods for salo and consumption. As long as they remain mere producers of raw material thoy will remain poor, ignorant and Democratic.” [Laughter and ap plauso.] “Wo are fighting a manly, open battle In this subject. Our adversaries ore in tlio riflo pits of office, wo In tho open field. But with solid breastworks we plant our flag, and that flag will sweep away tho batteries of tho Democratic parly. “I do not believe in protecting any indi vidual, but in tho protecting diversified labor. I believo in protection that will prevent another nation from making us merely customers of their own. They cry trusts, and say wo will build up enormous monopolies” An occupant of a box shouted: “Protec tion and trusts.” CoL Ingersoll proceeded to say that when tho trusts became dangerous they would tako tho tariff off. “That’s what tho Democratic party wants,” shouted tho man in the box, “Pi.t him out! Ho is an Englishman!” camo from all parts of tho house. When quiet was restored, CoL Ingersoll said: “No, gentlemen, I believe my friend honestly differs with mo. Let’s have honest discussion.” Then, turning to tho box, ho 6ald, *.‘l know tho Democratic party wants froo trado. “That is what I am talking about. Wo want to protect our laboring men and make them happy, intelligent and pro 9 porous. ” “Thoy will bo better off under free trade,” said he in tho box. Again tho audienco cried: “Put him outl" and again Col. Ingersoll rebuked them. “Lot mo ask tho honorable gentleman ono question,” ho said. Then, again ad dressing tho box, ho asked: “If tlio laborer is better off in free trade countries, why doesn’t ho emigrate to Europe?” Tho sally brought tho house to its feet. It went wild with tho loud cheers. Again and again they cheered him, and try as hard as ho could, they would not let him speak. for fully ten minutes tho cheering last ca. When order was again restored CoL Ingersoll proceeded to a further elabora tion of tho platform, and concluded by saying it was tho best ono tho Repub lican party had over adopted. WARNER MILLER SPEAKS. President Bartlett then introduced ex- Senator Warner Miller. “Tho issue before tho people,” ho said, “Is tho industrial issue. That is tho issue tho nations of the world are battling with, and tho United States must tako its part in tho fight. Great Britain has given up fighting for honor and glory, and now aims to retain her hold on oriental lands where her wealth and power are being built up. There Is no reason, ”ho saia, “why wo should, to pleaso British capital ists, depart from tho system which has been handed down to us and under which no nation ever mado such rapid progress “Tho Americans of today aro better clothed, better fed, better housed and better educated than those of any other nation in tho world. Tho Democrats would havo all thfo changed, but before wo consent to tho change wo must havo reasons that havo not yet been given us." Tho Victorious PI; Iforn. The national Republican platform of 1868 demonstrates in tho clearest and most unequivocal terms that there Is a wido difference between tho principles, spirit and aims of the two leading parties of tho country, tho Democratic party In control of the federal government today and tho Republican party. Tho maimer in whiph tho Chicago convention has taken up tho challenge of President Cleve land onu his obsequious party followers, and lias defined tho Republican policy re garding tho tariff and tho surplus and other largo questions, leaves no middle ground for tho quibblcrs, tho straddlers and tho vadllatora, Tho lines aro drawn so plainly that there can bo no mlstako. no hoodwinking of voters this time. Tlio issue of freo trado versus protection is joined at last and must bo fought to a finish This is a platform worthy of a great, patriotic, national party. It is broad, liberal and “above all distinctively American. Over It float tho Republican colors—tho red, white and blue. In hoc sigiio vinces!
