0 o VOL 7 WASHINGTON : LETTER. From our EejuUr Correspondent. Democrats, are extracting considerable consolation out of .the old ; political max im, that "a prtrtv is never id such tfreat danger, as just after it has won a jrreat . vie tory," and that it Is a wise maxim the political uphear nts of the last "lh't or ten years fully prove. No great er political victory wan vver won in this count ry than thut which in 1893 put the demo crats in possesion of the exec utive and. legislative branch es of the government. Yet look what followed. In 1894- dimension in- democratic ranks, and a republican Con gressionnl victor.v; in 1893, more democratic dissension and republican vietoiies in states heretofore safely dem ocratic. The dimension in t he ranks of the victorious ivpuh lican party is already mark ed, and it ia not confined to the fight over the presiden tial candidacy of the party but includes the poliej to bp followed by the overwhelm ing republican majority in the house during the coming session of Congress. These dissension even extend to the tariff, question. Senator Sherman lately said that he would vote for no bill amen ding th rariff 1 hut dnl not provide a duty for wool, and IfyMiresnntntive I) a 1 z e I, rf Pena.. who may be tlie next ('.'i.-iiruinn of tin House Ways and Means Committee, says the tariff is going to be a men ii ii. oea am mi ries r.-cisen. -now coms ex Senator Ma nderson of Nrbraki, who pointedly says: "The republicans can not afford to -.men m the . tariff question. If an attempt is made t3 put a duty on wool or any other articles, every industry will rush in and demand more protec tion." This being the situa tion, it is nntural Jliat demo crafs should expect their pros pects in the national cam paign to be much imprived by existing dissensions in the republican party and those certain to be engendered du ring the session of Congress. As Senator Mitchell, of Wis consin; now in Washington, aptly puts it: "I have seen much darker days than these for Undemocratic party. But there was' a vital principle in the doctrine of democracy which was destined to make the party great, and which will always make it impor tant." The political wbirlngig turns tipsomeqiieer things, but when it turned up Boss Quay as a candidate for the r 'pub lican presidential nomination ii turned upKomethitigquetr er than usual. When it was first n.e&tioned in: Washing ton that some of thelittle re publican papers in Pennsyl vania were booming Quay for the nomination it was re garded us a sort of joke on Quay, sprung by soire well rneaning editor who as sen ouely grateful for favors done and hopeful of thoseyet to come and who really be lieved that Quay was big en ough forsuch an honor. His candidacy is no longer regar BOONE, WATAUGA COUNTY, N, ded as a joke. He is s?riousy n the field and has a litera ry bureau working up senti ment in his favor. At first glance one ia inclined to say that Quay is throwing good mone away, so small is his chance to wlii, but when one considers that Quay has made ''big government ap propnations and liberal ex HMiditures upon all sorts of interna' improvements" the corner stone of his candi dacy, nnd remembers the suc cess ot republicans in the past who had no ;ther polit i ral capital than "the o 1 d flag and an appropriation," one doesn't feel so certain a bout it. It may be that Quay thought that Tom Heed was having too much of a walk over, and that his candidacy is put forth inertly as afoun-datioir-for a good dioketi Htn. Win. F. Harrity, Chm otthe National Democratic Committee, who has been in Washington for several days, believes it is always good pol itics to keep a stiff upper lip no matter how the returns come in. 1 his is the wav he sized up the effect of last week's election on t he derno- ciatic party. "While the elec tions showed great republi- an victories, they have not disheartened us, by any man ner of means. We shall get to getlier again by next Novem her and we will make u good snowing ia rne next cam paign. We will select a good andidateand we will show i he country that t!i demo cratic party isstill very much alive." Ex-Congressman Homers, of Wisconsin, now in Wash ington on private business, has a record as a good demo crut and a shrew 1 observer of the trend of nenioera tic vci tment in his state. He si id when ask.td who the demo crats of that state favored for the presidential nomina nation? "They are thorough ly in accord with President Cleveland, and I believe that were he to announce himself as a candidate for a third term he would receive the en tire delegation. C a r 1 i s 1 e stands second, with Win. C V hitney very close M'hiin. Either would make a good candidate anda strong cam paign." Ex-Congressman Hoi man, of In liana, who thor oughly knows the democrat ic party of his state, says In liana democrats have never seriously considered t h a there was any probability of f resHlent Uleveland again be coming a candidate and that they do not believe it has been seriously considered nnv whereels,. Mr. Hobnail thinks that if no miVtake is made in the national ticket Indiana will go democratic next year. Henrv Wilson, the postman terat Wejshton, Pla., says he cured a case of diarrhoea of long standing in six hour, with one small bottle of Cham berlain's Coli;, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. What a pleasant surprise that muse liave been to the sufferer. Such cures are not unusual with this remedy.

WIIlltbClereUadt Newfc and Observer. Nothing affords a better il lustrrfriorY of the divergent views of the South and the North than the comments on the recent election. In the South, even among those who endorse the President's financial views, the opinion prevails that the divisions in the party are in some meas ure tlue to his lack of wisdom uh ti manager. Those who do not believe jn his financia policy, bold his refusal to make concessions to the sil ver men in the party, when the Sherman act was repeal ed, as the first groat cause o democratic dissension a n f bitterness which preceeded una insured defeat. On the other band, in ma ny sections of the North there isn strong conviction that all the disaster to the party is attributable to the unwil lingness to follow Mr. Cleve land, and those who differed from him are made bolely cjiargable for the disaster. me;ew ioi k nerahl voices this sentiment Faying in an editorial headed "Will It Be Mr. Cleveland?" The republican wave that swept over this country fr jm East to West last week con fronts the democratic mann gers with a new condition. It is an omen that next year will be a Tepubli an year, and lt a. e i innt ii in-1 'jemocrats none to win at all they must set tie their differences among themselves nnd agree upon their very best ar.d strongest man for the Pcsidencv. It will be no time for dark hor ses, and they cannot afford to experiment with new and unknown conditions. 1 his vital consideration would Hoern to make the re nomination ot Mr. Cleveland inevitable if the democratic leaders are able to read th signs of the times, and want to save the party from disas trons defeat. Without Mr. Cleveland the democrats cannot win; with him they may win. ft was lis grpat popularity, firmness and wisdom that wrested the Piesidency from the republi cans four venrs ago, and ban the democratic leaders heed ed his warnings and followed his counsel there would not have been a republican tidal wave this year.

Here is what the bachelor editor said about her, Incidentally giving his idea ot matrimo ny: "She is ns graceful us a awn. bright, vivacious, fasci nnting, sparkling, mngnetic a queen among beauties, the ncarnation of grace and the poetry of motion. Her manv charms of mind and person, tier gracious manners, cheer- ul temperament, indepen dence of character and kind ness of heart, have attracted a host of friends nnd admir ers whose best wishes will fol low her to her northern home. She is a rare type of beauty not the cold, stately order that awes the soul, but full of life and music a ray of sunlight or a crystal brook rippling nnd laughing on its journey to the sea. Beauty, like life, eludes analysis. There is a beauty of star, of sky, and of tiny flower and above woman, the crown of crea tion, the fairest jewel in the diadem of God, the sweetest blossom, whose smile is a half blown rose, whose laughter is thecadence of cooing dovesi who gives to he man she loves her hope and her for tune, and who sacrifices up on the altar of manhood, health, beauty and comfort.' ttStrOao dotlnt nn vs for thp Democrat one vear. ii foptftUtttftrioi ; Thoe of us not yet fifty years of age haveprobabl) lived in the roost important and intellectual- ly progressive period of human history.
