TDE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
- : - . ..... .. x '
In twelve States . the people spoke
through, the ballot-box on Tuesday.
All hands, and both parties, agreed
that only in Virginia and Ne-v York
would the result be regarded as an
endorsement or rebuke to the Demo
cracy. . y- ys ; ! " v.
Virginia elects Lee and a Demo
craticlegislature. , ;
New York, in thunder tones, sends
Hill back to the State house.
Owing to the gerry matidering pol
icy of the Republicans ' when in pow-
er, the legislature in New York no
longer represents the peopIe, and that
body, according to our dispatches Vis
strongly Republican."
Tuesday's elections, which show
Democratic gains almost universally,
will gd far towards shapingthe future
policy the Democratic administrd-
a If New York, especiallythe home
of the President and two of the lead
ing members of his cabinet should
have rebuked him. it would have
been serious blow.
As it is,1 the result must be consid
ered as an endorsement. r
Foraker and other Republican leads
era went over to New York to display
the -"bloody shirt." " ;
It disgusted, thousands.
The country wants peace, and
The Democratic platform was
platform of peace. '
The dying embers of the late civi
war no longer smoke in Hew York.
The effort to fan them into a flame
as was done in' Ohio in October, ig-
nominiously failed and
''Peace hath her victories no less
renowned than war."
And glorious-old Virginia,
Mother of. States,
Mother of Statesmen, and
Mother of Presidents.
She has slipped the noose that Ma-
hone had thrown around her neck.
She has elected the peerless Lee,
and
Put the power of the State, through
the legislature, back . into the hands
of her own people.
God bless her, and
God bless her people.

J. PIRADISE OLIVER.
The Story of a misunderstanding
at an Open Air Meeting.
New York World,
Twolmen, with swollen lips, black
eyes and badly scratched faces, were
before Justice Duffy at the Toombs
yesterday charged with fighting on
the street.
'I spoke at an open air ratification
meeting in Baxter street last night,"
said Henry Murphy, fin favor of J.
Paradise Oliver for Member of As
sembly. I spoke in English and this
here chap followed me and made a
German speech. I did not under
stand what he said, but pretty soon I
began to hear mutterings from the
crowd. . : -
4 'What's the matter !" I asked of a
German Baxter street clothier.
; "That speaker," he replied 'is not
praising Mr. Oliver, he is giving him
fits. I threw him off the platform,
and the crowd went for him right
and left. I took a hand in it. f and
got laid out, too. It seems that this
man pretended to l.b& Mr. Oliver's
friend but he is in the pay of the oth
er side." ' --u- -.
"I thought it was a Tammany Hall
meeting and I made a speech for
Thomas Maher," said the other priss
oner."' - ..; :--- ,:;:--..r

There were fif ty' deaths in Wil-

Wilmington Review: At the ser
vices at Fifth" Street M. E church
ast Sunday night, Rev. Charles J.
Soon, the Chinese clergyman, was
presented by the congregation,
through Rev D. H. Tuttle the pastor,
with a fine Bible. Rev. Mr. Soon
will leave the city tomorrow for Tar
boro. Thence he will go to Durham
to be in attendance upon Conference,
where h- vnll be ordamf-d, eoon after
whicb b s wi!J v for his field of

Asbeville Citizen: The rains whicji
were so general and heavy ail over
the country last week were less dam
aging in the mountains than might
have been expected. The detentions
and interruptions as compared with
what they were in Virginia were
small, and speedily removed, which
goes to show , that alter a while the
mountain sections will be ; perfectly
reliable. Some of the tunnels will re-
quire alteration to insure permanen
cy, and then all will be right.
Lumberton Robesonian : Last Wed
nesday while Mr. W. K. Culbreath
was going to his new gin situated at
what is known as Pine Log. about six
miles from town on the C O. K. R.,a
match in the cotton ignited it, and m
a moment almost the contents of the
lint room were in ablaze. The entire
outfit, which was new was destroyed,
except the engine, together with
about .two bales of cotton and
about 350 bushels of seed, were de
stroyed. Loss about $1,500, insured
for $1,000. -, ..
The stock law has created great ex
citement in Buncombe county.'. At a
meeting in Avery's v creek township,
war was declared. 1 One of the pre
ambles was: "Whereas, from first to
last, we have been fraudulently and
purposely ; deceived and denied our
rights, and the same forcibly taken
from us, by the most cowardly cbn
duct of those engaged in the infa
mous outrage, acting more like a pol
itician board of doubtful reputation,
than otherwise, and denounced by
the best and' most conservative citi
zens as 'infamous,' together with oth
ers who have made themselves parti
sans to this outrage, by advising and
prearranging this fraud. One of the
resolutions was: 'Resolved, That we
will not put up our stock on the 1st
of "November and weTnotify others
not to take up the same.' . That we
pledge ourselves, to stand by each
other in the defence of what we are
advised and believed are our rights,'
'That we hereby organize ourselves
into a 'local party' in favor of home
rule and .self-government, and de
mand the repeal of the 'no-fence
law.'" ...

- Tne Boss Fish Story.
San Francisco Examiner. - v
A wonderful fish is becoming num
erous in Goose- Lake.. It has the
power to fill itself ; with water until it
becomes very much use : at round
ball. On evenings about sundown
they; may be seen playing on the
surface of the water. They, can swell
up by taking in the . air: and the
w.ind wi'i blow them over the lake.
They reflect all the colors of the ram
bow, and -when sporting over the
lake are a i grand sight. A hunter
several weeks ago saw a crane SwaK
low one of these fish when in its nor
mal condition, but before the crane
had proceeded fifty: feet up the, lake
the hsh had ; tafcen m enough air to
explode the crane, which, with a re
port like that of a ' gun, ; flew all to
atoms, and the fish came lightly
down , on the water . nonBv the worse

Trouble Over Old
Washington Critic.
There is a Democrat m this city,
temporarily, who for the past twelve
years has had on tan a lovely barrel
of whisky. The whisky was old in
1876, and our Democratic friend in
tended to give it to Mr. Tilden when
he was inaugurated. Mr. Tilden not
being inaugurated he kept the barrel
intact to give to the first Democratic
President who should be elected.
He found out that President Cleve
land would not' accept any gift of the
kind, so he was somewhat in a quan
dary as to what to do with his mel
low tipple. : He finally concluded to
give it to a Western . member of Mr.
Cleveland's Cabinet. When he
broached the subject he found out
that no Western member of the Cab
inet? used whisky, but he learned
abouj the same time that Cabinet
officers sometimes have friends who
take a drink occasionally, although
they themselves may not indulge.
He therefore found a-place at last for
liis fragrant Bourbon, and at last ad
vices the contents of .the barrel were
lowering rapidly.,
