Reed and his party made for ignoring and gag-, ging the minority in the 51st : Con gress, was that the majority in that Congress represented a majority of the people, and that in this country the majority should rule. While, as matter of fact, the majority in that nnorrse did not ranresent a mainr- i e . r v v firing nrfiii r mil: iniimriLV. liic declaration that the majority should tula' is correct when it rules in ac cordance., with the, law by virtue of which it has the right to rule, for ma jorities as well as minorities should respect the law. That's where Tom Reed and his fellow partisans were wrong, for they , acted ' upon the as sumption that - the ; majority was above the law and that there, was no law which it was bound to respect. It is now pretty generally con ceded that the Democratic party will have absolute control ol the 'Gov ernment after the 4th of March for the first time since 1859, and carrying out Tom Reed's contention the Re publican Senators and Representa tives should remember that the "ma jority should rule" and submissively acquiesce in, it they do not support, the measures proposed by the Demo crats. " . v.; ' -, We feel rather kindly towards Tom Reed and his pals of the 51st Con gress, 'for to them we are largely in debted for the revolution of 1890 and for thesweeping victory of last Toes day which came pretty, near clearing s left after the fight of -rForce bill, the Mc- avish pension acts, appropriations these never t '-adopting f rules gagging the did. The people disapproval of that business in 18.90 by bouncing the Republican majority in that Congress and finished it up the next chance . I - rw U arnsnrt and the whole crowd endorsing and defending the himi rf that r!rnorrss. - . After these two cycloniq swipes they will hardly contend that the Democratic party is not the majority party and cannot consistently deny that as the majority party its policy should prevail. We know that Tom Reed and the small number of lonesome Republi cans who will sit with him in ; the second session of the 52nd and in the 53rd Coneress are not anxious for reform, but will, on the contrary, throw all, the impediments they can in the way of the majority, as they did in the first session of the 52nd Congress, when they stubbornly op posed all attempts to revise the Mc Kinley tariff and to lessen the heavy burdens it imposed upon the people, and yet if they be true representa tives of the people and honestly be- Iieve as they declared in the 51st Congress that "the majority . sbould rule," they should cordially co-ope-rate with the maioritv in "adopting - J m reforms for which the people declared so unmistakable and emphatically in the elections of last Tuesday. Mr. Harrjson should set hem the . example when he sends his message to Congress next. December by re- commendinz a 'revision of the " Mc Kinley tariff and a reduction of du ties to a just, equitable, business-like, common-sense basis: a reform of the scandalous pension system by which the deserving soldier would receive due and just consideration, and the frauds and bummers be eliminated from the lists; the repeal of the infa mous election laws which put it in the power of partisan Judges and su pervisors to appoint party tools to interfere with the elections, and Jf so disposed to bring on conflicts be tween the Federal and State" authori ties, as" was openly-threatened in sev eral States in the ! elections of last Tuesday. These are a iew of the reforms which Mr. - Harrison should recommend in his next message, for onThese the people In their sover eign capacity unequivocally spoke by their ballots in the court of last ap peal last Tuesday. They not , only ordered a halt, but tney ordered a retreat, and if Mr. Harrison be the servant ot the people, which he pro fesses to be, he should pass the order . alonefthe line, and be among the .first to obey it. ' -- ' - - He and his party made up .the issues, went before the people, argued uo all thr"3 r i 1 coma h ymi j an arbrf A . minoritvk iev expressedtfieir m vol; xxiii. them in the t put Spd sub- I mjtted " them tjic-v 0f the I voters of ' eTjanA - ThaLAerdict, 1 1 after all te ; argument and all the J light thatcould be thrown upon the I iestions at issue, and. after the ex- rison and his party, has been ren dered against them, and so. over whelmingly rendered that there! is no room left for doubt or quibbling. To be consistent with himself, and hon est with the people Mr. Harrison should hearken to the voice of the people, obey their commands, - fall into line with the majority, raise -his voice ior reform, and do this much to entitle the close' of his adminis tration to some popular commenda tion before he retires -ot private life. : to the shades - GLORIOUS TAMMANY. 'After the glorious victory of Tues day there is, no man in America who will say that Tammany is not loyal to the Democratic party, although if the result had been different have. no doubt that Tammany would have been charged with "knifing the ticket. : The Star never had any doubt from the time that the ticket was nominated at Chicago, that fTam- many wbild support it loyally, and said so repeatedly, for Tammany never did repudiate a ticket nat4ri tw a rrncrnizef1 lemnicratie conventiottfcisThVrandest poli tical organization 'in this country, and it has done more to perpetuate the. Democratic party and Demo cratic principles than all the other organizations combined. - While it is a State organization its influence is National and there never was a political campaign in which it didn t do its full part and eive . in spiration to the work for the people. The solidity with which it marched and fought for Cleveland and Steven son in . this campaign inspired the Democrats of other States, many of whom believed that the result would depend upon New -York, with more confidence and more' determination, and was therefore a potent factor in achieving the great victory of Tues day, one of the grandest that ever crowned the effort of the unterrified Democracy ot 'this country. 'For this Tammany is entitled to her- full share of the glory, and the Democ racy of the country cheerfully con cedes it. THE WAT CLEAR. When on the 4th of March the representatives of .the Democratic party take control of the Govern ment, then the Democratic party becomes responsible to the people for the acts done or left undone. But fortunately for the Democratic party and for the people the Democratic party does not enter blind folded on the charge entrusted to it, nor need it flounder about seeking the path it should follow, for the way is clear. All it has to do is to follow on the lines laid down in the Chicago plat form, and all will be well, and it will' command the applause and endorse mentof. the millions of American voters who commissioned it to carry out that platform, which Is so broad that every honest American can stand upon it. There are three cardinal points in that platform which formed leading issues in the campaign preceding the election, to which the attention of the people was especially called by the representatives of the rival par ties and upon which they passed the verdict at the ballot box in f?ivor of the Democratic party. One of these was the condemnation of the McKinley tariff as a violation I of the spirit of the Constitution, and a declaration in favor of "a tariff For revenue only" as the Democratic idea of what the tariff should be. I Another was the condemnation of the right ot the Federal Government,. as assumed by the Republican party, to interfere with the elections in States, under pretence of preserving the purity of the ballot and protect ing voters in the exercise of their right of suffrage. The third was the declaration in favor of tbe repeal of tbe ten per cent, tax on the circulation of the State Banks of issue, which Mr. Har rison, Mr, .Blaine, the Kepuoiican stumpers and organs attacked so vig orously "as the - "wild-cat" banking system. : They gave it this name to prejudice the ignorant. There were other points at issue touching the pension laws, extrava gant appropriations, &c., but these were the main issues discussed, upon which public thought was most cen tered. . and npon these the Demo- . s ;' iA cratic . party ; is expected to take prompt and positive action. ? - : With these three satisfactorily dis- posed of, questions which have for years been subjects of agitation will be eliminated from the. forum of dis- cusslon and this country : will enter upon a new departure and upon an era of "prosperity in which all sec tions and all classes will participate. The revision of Tthe tariff and bringing it down to a revenue basis, which can be done without depriving the workmen in Tour industries of such protection as may be deemed 3 necessary for them, or- without de- priving our industries ot any reason- able protection that may be deemed necessary for them, will relieve the American people of the monstrous tribute which they have been paying for years to the . protected monopo lists who have " waxed rich, fat and insolent at their expense.; This will leave millions of dollars " in ; the pockets of the people who earn them, which 'have yonder; the pi undering tariff system gone into the coffers of the favored beneficiaries of that sys tem. Another effect of this will be to prevent the drain of money from the. agricultural to the manufacturing States, depleting the one'; of money and gorging the others, leaving some sections practically without currency enough . to meet the ordinary, de mands of business, and compelling them to borrow, at any rates of in terest', the money-lenders, "who be came able to control the volume of currency by discriminating, legisla tion, might see fit to demand. With these two points gained the gain for the' people at large will be immense. ; .With this will come free raw materials, which will gne . a stimulus to manutactures," more work 'for more workmen, more de mand for the raw materials," and bet- ter and cheaper-goods for the peo ple. That's some of what a tariff tor revenue means. ; i The non-interference of the Fed eral Government with the elections in the States means hot only the as surance that the force bill era has passed but means also the repeal of all laws authorizing meddling with the elections in any shape, dispensing at once with' the services of ; all such creatures-as John I. Davenport and his would-be imitators, like - Super visor Shaffer; of this State. With this despotic system wiped out, a great and a scandalous source of abuse of power will be removed, and our elections will be conducted with out any meddlesome interference by partisan hirelings, and be . elections in fact, as they should be, and not mere mockeries of elections as these usurpers of power would make them. lit', t i . ' r . . L I witn ine lax on state oauKs re pealed, the money question will ad just itself, and - the silver coinage question will no longer be a disturb ing question for the people of ; the States will have it m their power to .supply the currency which their busi ness demands may require and the coinage question will cease to com mand National attention, and thus a question which has for years been a source of much heated and acrimo nious discussion, and one which both of the great political parties have found a very embarrassing one, will be removed from the. domain of dis cussion. - :, " The way of the Democratic -party is clear on all these questions and in disposing of them as demanded by the party platform, popular expecta tion will be met and popular endorse ment won. ' I " With his "brilliant" and states manlike administration, with the able management of the most expert ma chine manipulators, and with bushels of money, Mr Harrison succeeded .in carrying twelve States out of thi forty-four, and these were mostly in moth-eaten New England and in the rotten pocket boroughs made to or- der, and admitted into the Union for the express purpose of helping the Republican party to hold its grip on the flesh pots. : " ; : When the Congressional Commit tee appointed to investigate' Johnny Davenport summoned him to appear before it a couple weeks before, the election he sent 'them word that her would not have time to see them for about six weeks. It is hoped now that his rush of business is over they will find a way to bring-him to taw. and? perhaps to send him to the penitentiary where he should have been long ago. 9 . - . Just before the election GovT Mc Kinley remarked that "the people are now fully acquainted with the practical operation of the new tariff law." Judging from the multitudin- ousness with which they strode to the ballot boxes to demand its repeal, they showed that they were better acquainted with it than Gov. Mc Kinley suspected. Brayer Shepard, who has a sort of weakness for braying pretty , loud, boasted a day or so ? that ? bis paper led in the grand fight for Harrison. It is quite evident from the result that there were a good many asses leading s in that fight ; Since the election, however, the Brayer Is not Mrery loud on his achievements, f . .... :.r. - ? - J Whether: the-earth - gets knocked into pi, as Lieut Totten has been I persistently predicting, or not,1 he has I the satisfaction, as he nrged in his I last lurid prophecy, of knowing that I the American people "voted "for one J time according to their consciences, as is clearly, shown by the Dem ocratic victory last Tuesday.; - It is stated as a- curious A circum stance that a few days before the out break of cholera in Hamburg the birds all left the city. - . , WILMINGTON, N, C; FRIDAY NOVEMBER 18, ttore About Weloozne Week. . ; The Welcome Week Executive Com mittee is still at work arranging the pro gramme.
