A FACTOR IN POLITICS
INFfeUEIVCE OF THE A. P. A. IN
THE ELECTIONS OF LAST
TUESDAY.
IT VOTED SOLIDLY EVERYWHERE
Editor o! the Unit id American Says
the Result is Due to A. P. A. Votes,
Especially in Massachusetts, Ken
tucky and Ohio—ln Maryland the
Organization Took .No Part in the
Fight—Most of Its Jfombers in the
Southern States are Democrats.
Special to the News and Observer.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 8.
Mr. A. J. Boyer, of this city, is editor
of the United American, and a promi
nent leader of the A P. A. Discussing
the recent elections, Mr. Boyer said :
“There is one thing that was proved
by Tuesday's eltctiou, and that was the
influence and solidarity of the A. P. A.
There never has been a time in the his
tory of the organization when it has
taken such a prominent part in politics
and with such pronounced success.
Wherever the association put forth i‘s
powers it carried the day, and there is
no use in wasting time picking out local
issues to account for that general land
slide.
“Take the State of Massachusetts, for
example. There, of the two candidates,
Greenhalge and Williams the A. P. A.
had nothing serious against either one
of them. The members, as a rule, fol
lowed their personal preferences at the
pells, but many preferred Greenhalge,
and the result speaks for itself.
4 In Ohio the A. P. A. favored Bush
neli, and our members were instructed
to vote solidly for him, and with an or
ganiziiijn of 75,000 men it is easy to
see what happened Tuesday and how it
came to pass Campbell is a good man,
but he is not in such close tme’a with
the A. P. A as is Bashueli, who has
a very warm feeling for the organ zai
tio , and has virtually indorsed its prin
ciples. He got a rousing big majority,
just at did McK’nley, who was also
friendly to the association.
‘‘But it was in Kentucky that the A.
P. A. scored its graudest victory. There
is a membership in that State of 50,000.
It is absurd to mention Carlisle, Black
but a, the tariff or any other feature as a
cause for Republican success. The truth
of the matter is that the Democratic
platform contained a plank denouncing
the A. P. A., and, furthermore, they
placed some Roman Catholics on the
ticket. Any man may become a mem
ber of the association, providing he
pledges himself never to vote for a Cath
olic. Now, in Kentucky, and in the
Southern States generally where the Dem
ocratic party prevails, the majority of our
members are Democrats, just as in the
Northern States the majority are Repub
litans, but they are expectedjto put the
principles of the association above party
affiliations.
‘*Tne R epublican platform in Kentucky
did not attack us, although they did not
in so many words endorse our princi
ples, and the result was that our associ
ation voted the Republican ticket solidly.
That is the secret of the whole matter.
In Maryland there was no real American
issue at stake, and it cannot be said that
any victory was scored there, for the
reason that there was no fight of any
importance in which we. took part.'’
BRICE ON THE ELECTION.
Thinks the Next Piesideot Will be a
Republican.
Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 8. —“The results
of the election of 1895 make it almost
certain that the nominee of the next Re
publican National convention will be
elected President,'’ said Senator Calvin
S. Brice, to an evening paper represen
tative at the Union depot last evening.
Mr. Brice was seated in a Pullman car
on the eastern express. The defeated
statesman said he was going to New
York. The reporter asked him how the
election would atf «t our Presidential
polities, and Mr. Biice made answer as
quoted above.
The Senator continued: “If the next
President is not a Republican, the last
election has at least added very much to
the interest that will be felt in the delib
erations of the Republican Convention.
Who will be nominated ? Well, Mr.
McKinley is a charming gentleman, able,
popular and probably as magnetic as any
of the candidates.”
To the reporter’s suggestion that the
public would like to know the Senator’s
explanation of the result in Ohio, Mr.
Brice said:
“Ohio did just what the other States
did. The result m Ohio was not different
from what it was in New York, cr Ken
tucky, or Maryland. The jeople seem
dissatisfied with the general policy of
the Democratic party, and no local argu
ment has any effect ou the national im
pulse.”
“lu Ohio we did our best, but it was
useless. Chairman Anderson of the
Demot ratio Committee did excellent
work, but the odds were too great. Gen.
Eoraker will bo elected to succeed me as
Senator, and what 1 shall do does not
concern the public.”
The reporter asked Mr. Brice if Presi
dent Cleveland’s policy was to be blamed
for the wholesale* Democratic disaster.
The Ohio Senator hesitated a moment
and then said:
“No, 1 don’t think Mr. Cleveland is
blamed personally for the tidal wave.
Still he has to bear his share of the
frame as being part of the National or-
ganixation and leadership of the Demo
cratic party.”
“How about Gorman ?” asked the re
porter.
“Mr. Brice arched his eye brows.
“Gorman? Gorman's all right. Your
man Quay was twice beaten worso than
Gorman was last Tuesday, and he seems
to be doing pretty well. No, Senator
Gorman is not annihilated, and the man
who thinks he is, is very badly mis
taken.”
DEMOCRATS TO GET TOGETH Ell.
The Silver Question to be Settled in
Nebraska by Primaries.
Omaha, Neo., Nov. 8 - Much interest
has been c eated among Nebraska Dem
ocrats as a result of election returns
showing the relative vote of the two
wing 3. Mahoney, administration candi
date for Supreme court, received 14,500
and Phelps, silver man, 8,000. Both
went on the ticket under the Supreme
court ruling a,s Democrats and the silver
men claim this was unfair to their in
terests, and that it was not a proper test.
The silver men now suggest that the
silver question be submitted to a prim
ary election in Nebraska, the regular
Democratic Committee and the bolting
Democratic Committee to agree upon
primaries to b held at the same time
and at the same place, each voter to be
called upon to expre c s himself ou the
money question, and the State Conven
tion tc instruct.its delegates accordingly.
If a majority of the Democrats of Ne
braska are in favor of the 16
to 1 plank in the National Conveu
tion then the silver men will be entitled
to the delegation. If the majority of
the Democrats of Nebraska are in favor
of the present policy then these Demo
erats are to have a right to represent the
Stare in the National Couvemiou.
This matter, they say, can only be do
termined by a primary election, and the
silver Democrats say they are not sf aid
of such an expression from the voters.
They assert that if the gold men refuse ■
to submit the question to a primary elec {
tion, they will be stopped from claiming i
to represent a majority of the Democratic
voters. Both sides regret that it was
impossible to conduct a campaign which
would make the election this year a test.
The silver meu say that in Richardson
county, where the matter was discussed
and brought before the people, Phelps
had a considerable majority over Ma
honey. The same, they say, is true of
Pawnee county, where the voters were
apprised of the situation. The oppo
nents of the white metal have little to
say on the subject, asserting that the
election results iudicate clearly that the
silver Domoorats are ouinumbarel, two
to one, in Nebraska, and they think they
have nothing to fear in future contests.
THE KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE.!
It Will be a Tie W hen It Meets, Stand- ,
mg 69 to 69
Louisville, Ky., NO7. B—The8 — The Even
ing Post says that the General Assembly
only will be a tie when it meets and the
election of a successor to Senator Black
burn is a matter of conjecture, the Dem
ocrats having 68 votes and one Demo
cratic Populist vote, making a total of
69.
The Republicans will have sixty eight,
and one Republican-Alliance vote, mak
ing a total of s ! xty-nine. The Republi
cans claim that the Lieutenant-Governor
(Worthington) wiT have the decisive
vote, thus insuring them the senatorship.
This is an error, however, as the Lieu
tenant Governor, as presiding officer of
the Senate, cannot vote in joint ba bt. “
A special to the Evening Post from
Danville, Ky., says: John W. Yerkes,
chairman of "the Republican State Cen
tra! Committee, to day announced that
be will not allow his name to be pre
sented for United States Senator.

Brooklyn, N. Y., Nov. 8 - The can
vassing of tbe returns on the mayoralty
vote was continued to day by the Law
Committee of one hundred in the in
terest of Edward M. Grout, the regular
Democratic candidate. In ten completed
wards it is claimed by the committee

that enough additional discrepancies will
be discovered to prove Mr. Grout’s
election.
The Law Committee claim that fraud

cast for Mr. Grout.
The official canvass of the ballot will
be begun on Tuesday next.

Bride, brothers, were on their way to
Stokes county tc visit their sister, they
were met iu the road by a party of six
toughs. A controversy arose over which

twenty five shots being fired. When
the smoke cleared away Charley
Mcßride was found to be fatally wound

of toughs, who are still at large, went to
the residence of a • issolute woman, liv
ing near and proceeded to demolish
things* generally. They tore down the
chimney, knocked out one side of the
house, broke up the bedstead, threw all
the clothing and bedding into the yard,
and made a boLfire of it and then set the
to the house.

CIVIL SERVILE EXTENSION.
Many Postmaster* Drought Within the
Cl asst lied Service.
Washington, Nov. 8 —The President
to-day approved an amendment to the
civil service rules, which will result in
bringing many postmasters and their
employes within the classified service
The addition is as follows:
“And whenever by order of the Post
master General any postoffice shall
be consolidated with and made a part
of another postoffice where free
delivery is established, all the em
ployes of the office thus consolidated
whose names appear ou the roster of said
office, approved by tfie Post office Depart
ment and including the postmaster
thereof, shall, from the date of said or
der, be employes of said free de
livery office, and the person holdiug on
the date of said order the position of
postmaster at the office thus consolidated
with said delivery office may be assigned
to any po ition there u and given any
appropriate designation under the etas
sification act which the Postmaster Gen
eral may direct.”
It is the intention of the Post
office Department to consolidate
many offices throughout the country.
This consolidation will not necessarily
do away with the offices, but will
establish them as stations of some cen
tral point. The postoffice departure t
intends to make experiments iu this
direction and if they prove satisfactory
the system will be largely extended It
is probable that Presidential offie s, -a
well as f< urth class cffices, will be in
cluded in the consolidation. The order
dries not meao, however, that when
any office is consolidated with another
that it will be served as a free delivery
office or station. It will receive and dis
tribu e its ma lasat j resent. The post
master may tecume a clerk or chief of
the station, or he may be discharged and
some other person appointed, but as
soou as he becomes the clerk in the sta
tion he is included in the classified ser
vice and protect'd by it.
The civil service comm ! s*ioners say
that, if the new plan works as well as
anticipated by them and the Postmaster
General, that it will result in placing a
large number of postofibes under the
civil service rules.
