JJUKKE, Principal. ttgrTbje Journal, i- uul v 81 per year if paid m adv; uec. A Probably Correct View. The" New York correspondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal furnishes his paper the following: Hold up your he;ids, boys, and look pleasant, and I will tell you how Grover Cleveland came to lose New York. Of Course, hind sight is better than foresight, and after the fight we can see things that before the contest were ob scured. There are three reasons for the loss of. the E.npire State to Dem ocracy. First, mismanagement up on the part of the National Dem ocratic Committee; second, the factional tights and greed for pat ronage in New York county; and third, tne lack of any love for the Presidential candidate upon the J for Maj-or, received 67,000 votes, part of the Democrats. jjacobns,the Kepublicau caudidate In the last six weeks in New j for Sheriff, received 81,000 votes, York, in all my mingling with ;and IVrley, the Kepublicau can Democrats, it has been a rare case jdidate for County Clerk, received to find a man who had a kind and H0,000 votes, while Harrison, lor att'eetionate word to say for the occupant of the White House. I am not going to abuse Grover Clevelaud, for in many respects he. is an able and courageous man. lie has done "some' things while President that have stamped him to be not only a patriot-- but a statesman of the broadest type. He made his mistake in the start ! by turning his back, upon old j -"Democratic veterans in the party j ! who had fought gallantly and j zealously tor a quarter of a ceutu-1 rv to restore rue i democracy u j j;mvi.r; Hc luls ,lot only done this, but he heaped upon what he chose to "term,4partv workers" Intter re- . . . . ... . . . . bilking wonls,. which . tliey couiii not forget. He also shut himself up, as. it were,, and refused to coon- sel and. have "intercourse with old. time-honored, -true and genuine leaders of the Democracy of the Nation. -. lielieving that the coun try was with him, and that he would be sustained in his position, he bowed himself to senJiinentality known as civil service reform, which lost him thousands of ear liest and thoughtful men in his own party. He kept in office until tlie day of election strong, bitter and unrelenting Republican partisans, who never lost an op portunity to stab the very Admin istration that was giving them bread and meat. This was done in the face of the fact that there were thousands of good and com petent men of Air. Cleveland's own party really suffering for po sitions. I can take the. blue book and give the names of Republicans holding prominent 'positions in Washington that would simply as tonish the Democrats of the coun try. There is no use in saying that this made nodiiVernce,because it (lid. It rankled in the heart of every good Democrat, lie could not understand how it was that men he had fought against for twenty-five years, and finally suc ceeded in winning the lightjShould hold positions, and he and his friends be kept out of them. There can be but one understanding iu American politics, and that is that the party that wins will stand by the men that placed it iu power. Any party that goes against this rule will suffer defeat as certainly as the night follows the day. The great secret of Republican success, uow and heretofore, has been that the party has been true to its friends. This aside, let us look at other reasons. THE FACTS AND THE FIGURES. The Democratic party of New York State will find it very diffi cult to explain to the Democrats of the nation how it is that they elect their Governor by 20,000 ma jority; their Lieutenant Governor, their Judge of the Court of Ap peals, and that they absolutely carry everything by from 30,000 to. 40,000 majority in the city of New York, and y t deieat the National Democratic ticket. They will offer explanations, but these explanations will not be worth the paper upon which they are writteu. Look at it. Hill receives 68,000 pi ural i ty in New York county, and Cleveland only 52,000. Hill carried Kings county by 16, 000, and Cleveland by only 11,000. Hill carried Erie county by over 5,000, and Cleveland by a few hundred. Grant is elected Mayor of New, York city by 40,000; Hew itt gets 68,000. And yet Mr. Cleve land only gets 52,000 plurality. Now, what was the llepublican strength! Not to exceed on an average 93,000 votes, out of a to tal poll of .nearly 270,000. Miller, the Kepublicau candidate for Gov ernor, received 97,000 votes. Er hardt, the Kepublicau caudidate President, received 107,831 votes. Now, is there any man with a Sfrain of political sense in thecoun-. try that will not see that this statement alone stamps treachery upon the part of the Democracy of New York city? Now, let us leave New York county ami see what was done in other places. Four years ago Brooklyn gave -Mr. Cleveland six teen thousand plurality ;over Mr. Blaine. The new registration in Brooklyn increased the vote of t.wwut, imiy .immoumi, and yet Air. Cleveland received eleven or twelve thousand plarali- ty in Diookiyn, yesteiilav, and Air. Hill received sixteen or eight teen thousand. Taking into rotr siderfe&Hi. alt the conditions . that ma v have existed against IVIr. Cleveland and in favor of Mr Dill, this looks remarkable, if not sus picions. It comes to me this eve ning, from a pretty ood source, that the Democrats in Brooklyn were beaten out of ; about ten thousand votes by Republican bri bery and scullduggery. From 7 o'clock until 10 o'clok last evening,! read three dispatch es from Brooklyn to the effect that Cleveland had carried the couuty of Kings by 19,000 plurali ty. In the meantime, Hugh Mc Laughlin, who is at. the head of the Democratic organization over there, was constantly telegraph ing Senator Gorman, that Brook lyn would certainly give Cleve land ,23,000 majority. All of a sudilen there was a tremendous and sensational drop. A dispatch came about midnight stating that Brooklyn had only gone 12,000 or 13,0.00 for Cleveland. It knocked the boys of the National Commit tee senseless. It created a panic that I never saw before in a po litical headquarters. They said that they did not believe it; that it was a fraud and a Cheat, and they wired immediately to find out if the report was true. In return they got nothing at all that was definite. This morning several members of the committee with Chairman Murphy, of the State CommitteCjWere in Brooklyn investigating the returns. They found nothing that will at present alter the result; they found that Quay's money, presumably, S7o, 000; had done the dirty work. Out in the State, the Republi cans stopped at nothing that money would buy. It went by the thousands; perhaps half a million was spent for votes. Workingmen iu factories that could not be bull dozed were bought hand out of hand. It was not a question of principle, good government or po litical economy. It was simply a question of dollars and cents; that is all there is in it. I am not utterly cast down aud disheartened, thoucrh it is rvrettv i rough to get the Government after a lapse of twentv-five years, and ic it in iw vprx sne..i:,llv ! after the party has given the pec pic an houest, clean, and economi cal administration of government al affairs. I congratulate the Re publicans upon their success, and trust that it will do them a power of good to turn all the rascals out, especially the Democratic rascals. I think that the vote will show that the Democratic candidate for President has received a majority of the popular vote. Then we have the House, which will pre veut at least any more burdens upon the poor classes. For this we should be thankful. The West shows up well. We did not carry auy State southwest of Ohio, and we did not expect to; but we will expect them, and we will get them in 1892, for the truth is mighty and will prevail; and I tell you that the cause of tariff reform re form is a true cause, and event ually it will sweep this country, no matter how many million dol lars are disbursed by the propri etors of the infant industries. AVest Virginia Democratic. A Charleston, W. Va., corres pondent writes to the Philadelphia Ledger as follows, under date of last Saturday: "As to the Legisla ture, the criticisms are that it will be Democratic on joint ballot. It is generally conceded that it will stand as follows: Senate Repub licans, 12; Democrats, 12; Inde pendent, 1. Total, 25. House Republicans, 31; Democrats, 34. Total, 05. This gives the Demo crats a majority of two on joint ballot, and insures the re-election of Senator Keuna to the United States Senate. The Independent was elected to the State Senate years ii go by a fusion against the Democrats, and with the irnder standing that he would vote for a Republican to succeed Ken ua. A change of two votes in the House would'' destroy Senator Kenna's tender hopes tor re-election.! In a State so badly mixed on other of fieers, who can tell with certainty what the final outcome may be." How Men Die. If we know all the methods of approach adopted by an enemy we are the better enabled to ward off the danger aud postpone the moment when surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances the inherent strength of the body suf fices to enable it to oppose the tendency toward death. Many, however, have lost these forces to such an extent that there is little or no help. In other cases a little aid to the weakened lungs wil make all the difference between sudden death and many years of useful life. Upon the first symp toms of a cough,cold or any trouble of the throat or lungs, give that old aiid well known remedy Bo schee's German Syrup, a carefu trial. It will prove, what thou sands say of it, to be the "bene factor of any home." How It Was Fought. From the Boston Advertiser. The campaign of 1888 will be re membered as the first that was ever fought on a scientific basis The tariff' questiou is a question of political economy, and politica econouv is a science. And it is a matter to be very specially noted a matter for conin-atulatiou and philosophical reflection, that mill ions of American people have been engaged much of the time during several months in studying the laws of supply and demand, the purchasing power of wages, the nature of commercial exchange the balance of trade, the relations of capital and labor, the true na ture of money and other elements which enter into that complex whole which we call business. A Montreal young lady loved a i .voung man, but as he did not love I lier in return and turned up his ! nose at her, she took rat poison and turned up her toes to all the - world. Among Our Exchanges. Witkesboro Chronicle: Mr. J. I. Myers,of Rock Creek,was severely cut with a knife oh the evening of the election. He had interfered to stop two men who were rowing, when one of them turned upon him with a knife. 2few Berne Journal: Mr. Rich ardson,of the Bellair farm, shipped two boxes of green peas yester-. day, and we .learn that several boxes of snap beans ? have been shipped during the past week or two. This is the second crop this year. Though this is not the track m season of the year, the peas are fine. This is our climate green peas in November! Charlotte Chronicle: The richest specimens of gold ore that have been seen in this section in many a day were exhibited yesterday by Squire John P. Hunter, of Mallard 'reek township. He had a peck measure-full of rocks, and virgin gold fairly hone com bed the rock. Old miners say that it is the rich est ore ever seen iu this State.Mr. Hunter found the ore on his farm, and if a good vein is developed his fortune is made. Xetcs and Observer: The Su preme Court of North Carolina has de cided the case of Cross and White against the defendants. On tho first Monday in December the opinion will be certified down to the Clerk of the Superior Court of Wake. On receiving the certified opinion of the Supreme Court the clerk will notify the sheriff who will then take the defendants in custody and, nothing else appear ing, place themiu prison. Asleville Citizen: Among the as pirants for tbeRepublican appoint ment of District Attorney for the Western district of North Caroli na are: Col. V. S. Lusk, P.A.Cura- mings and Henry Hardwicke, 4f Buncombe; W.A. G uthrie, of Dur ham; J. M. Moody, of Haywood; J. C.Pritchard, of Madison; J. W. Bowman, of Mitchell; Thos. Settle, Jr., of Rockingham; George II. Smathers, of Haywood, and oth- rr i 1 " A 1 .1 ers. mis we learn irom a leau- ing Republican of Asheville. Morganton Star: Some of our young colored bucks have intima ted that the deputy postmaster's place at the Morgauton office will be a nice opening for them after the 4th of March. Let us say to these poor unsuspecting creatures you might stand at the ballot box and vote the Republican ticket until the moss grew on your backs an inch thick and your white Re publican friends would never give you an office by appointment. As you persist in votiug the Republi can ticket in a solid mass, you will have to demand j our proportional part of the offices at the ballot box. Hickory Press: Andy Sudderth, a negro who was apprehended at Lenoir for a murder committed last September in Grayson county, Va., where he was at work on a railroad, and who, after a deten tion of five weeks in Lenoir jail, was released through want of a requisition from the State of Vir ginia, made an attempt to kill three other negroes Sunday, one of whom was a brother of his for mer victim. He emptied five bar rels of his pistol in quick succes sion, missing those he intended to hit, but shot a colored womf.n in the thigh. Shortly after the oc currence he was captured and lodged in jail. We regret to learn that the barn and stables ot Capt. J. S. Bridgers, near Catawba,were burned Monday night. It was early, soon after Mr.Jim Bridgets had fed, and as no lire had been about the premises, it is charged to an incendiary. The stock was saved, but all the grain and for age, with some agricultural imple ments, were destroyed. j-Advertise in the Jouknal if you w ant to reach the people of Alexander. j
