WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER, 7, 1888. The election in thiseity passed off very quietly. There was little elec- ® _—tioneering done on either side, and a: the voter was free to cast his own ballot. . oo — iad The Globe-Domocrat, a paper that i belied the democtatic party and the state of Missouri for so long and vindictively, has added one laurel to its unhallowed reign by telling the truth at the last moment about mayor Francis and the whole dem- ocratic ticket and advising the re- publicans to vote the ticket straight. The Sedalia Democrat, on account of financial troubles suspended pub- lication last week. The office was seized by the sheriff and will be sold to the highest bidder. The indica- tions are that the material will be bought in by its creditors and the paper started up again. For the present the newspaper want of the city will be supplied by the Bazoo. Twenty-five counties in the south western corner of Missouri which had a population in 1880 of 278,927 have now, it is estimated, a popula- tion 413,000, and twenty tive connty seats which had 22.642 people in 1854 have now 60,400 people. These figures have been gleaned from reli- able sources of information and shew the rapid degree of growth of southwestern Missouri. EEE There was much more vitality in the democratic party than in the republiean party, consequently they oould have stood defeat at this time much better. This however, is the death blow to the g.o. p. in the nation. You lived a long life and feasted on the fat of the land and in departing this life you should be like the jolly old thief when ap- proached by a priest torepent, on his death bed said that he had nothing to regret, never having neglected an opportunity to please himself, no matter at what cost to others, con- sequently had no repentance to make. _ The republican party was kept in power for 24 years in the nation by a sentiment that 1t saved the nation. Now it is departed and there is none 80 lowly as to mourn its demise. San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 5.—At- . torney General Johnson commenced “suit to-day in behalf of the state of California against the American su- gar refinery company. The complaint _ sets forth that the company has disregarded the purpose for which _ it was incorporated by surrendering _ the management of its concern and the control of its business to the gugar refinery company which the eomplaint alleges is “an association of individuals residing out of and mot residents of Califonia, formed and operated for the purpose of limiting the supply and thus advan- ing the the price of sugar and is not acorporition, but is an unlawful eombination and a monopoly acting an restraint of trade.” It is asked _ that the charter of the American su- gar refinery company be vacated and ite franchises forfeited. England Warned To Go Slow. London, Nov. 2—The Star, T. P. O'Connor's paper, says: “Lord Salis- bury is not likely to listen to the demand for the dismissal of Mr. Phelps, the United States minister, in retaliation of America’s treatment _@f Lord Sackville. Such a step might do much harm and could do no good. All are agreed that Mr. Bayard’s courtesy is scant, but we | must not forget that he is technical- Ayright. Lord Sackville’s indiscre- © tion warranted a demand for his re- “eall. If Lord Salisbury’s reply to the demand amounted to a refusal, here is a good deal more to be said the action of America than En- bmen are now inclined to admit.’ NEW YORK UNCERTAIN The news from New York on elec- tion evening was not as encourag ing for the democrats as they had hoped for, still there is no reason for them to feel discouraged. New York City, Kings and Queens coun- ties have given a largely increased plurality for Cleveland over 1884. About 1250 districts from the state heard from out of 2100 gives a large gain for Harrison over Blaine in ’84. With the rate of increase kept up there is no doubt Harrison. carried the state, but the large towns are to hear from and they are almost cer- tain to cut this increase down. The democrats are insured of a larger plurality in the city than they ever had before when they carried the state and its not at all likely that this plurality will be overcome. We are of the opinion that Cleveland has carried the state, but it may take the official count before we are certain. ALL THINGS IN SEASON. There is a season for all things. A time for work and a time for play, atime for politics and a time for business. For several months the people of this county have devoted a large share of their time to poli- tics. Now the election is over busi- ness should receive its normal con- dition and our people enter with re- newed zest into their different avo- cations of life. A people cannot be prosperous upon the excitement of politics alone, but it has the good effect of taking our minds off the cares and turmoil of business affairs for a short time, when we can return to our labors with renewed energies. There will be no national calamity or financial crash no matter who is elected Presidentand Vice-President of the United States. It is necessa ry that at least two great politieal parties should be in a republican government like ours, otherwise the party in power would become so corrupt that the people would of necessity have to rebel and the cor- ner stone on which our great gov- ernment is founded would be swept away. We believe that it is much better for the interest of our country that the great principles enunciated in the democratic platform should prevail, others are equally siucere in their faith in the republican princi- ples, so also of the union labor and prohibition parties. For this rea- son there should never be those bit- ter animosities engendered which is sometimes the result of a hotly con- tested campaign. Which ever party is victorious there will be a seasen of rejoicing and no doubt good na- tured railery engaged in between those of difterent parties, after which we should resume the ordinary duties of life with the full assuranee that we are protected in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness by the best government the sun ever shown upon. —————— Don't forget the poor editor when you have a news item.

New York, Nov. 1—The British ship Creedmoor, from Manilla, re- ports that on September 9 she met the British ship Ardenaple in dis- tress. She had been in collision with theship Earl Wemyss, which had sunk, with sixteen passengers, including the captin's wifeand three children. The rest of thecrew were rescued by the Ardenaple. The lat- ter was in an unsafecondition. Both crews were taken aboard the Creed- moor, whieh landed them at Barba- does. The captain and first officer of the Ardenaple stuck to their ship and finally landed her, badly dam- aged, st Fernando de Morenna. VERY CLOSE. NEW YORK STATE IN DOUBT. Unexpected Gains by Harrison in the Country. Bulletinfrom New York Times Says: Cleveland has carried Indiana, New Jer- seyand Connecticut. Both parties Claiming New York. Vote very close. SUN'S ESTIMATE. New York, Nov. 7.—A_mid-night extra of the Sun says: “The returns so far as received make it seem probable that Harrison has carried New York state by from 7,000 to 10,- 000 plurality. Cleveland has polled a handsome vote in New York city, his plurality being not far from 54,- 000, but he has not held his own in Kings county. His plurality there is about 11,000, which is a loss of about 4,000 in 1884. From the state above the Bronx river the re- publicans in almost every section show great gains. If thn proportion that is now received keeps up Harri- son will come to the Bronx river with from 80,000 to 85.000 plurality. At this hour, however, the most fav- orable returns are customarily re- ceived aud later returns wiil be like- ly toreduce that plurality some- what. However, unless there is a decided change from the report of gains now received Harrison will home to the Bronx with over 80,000 plurality. We can not now figure at over 72,000 or 73,000 plurality for Cleveland in the state. No decisive returns have yet been received as to the governorship, but the indica- tions are that Governor Hill has been vc elected. He runs ahead of Cleveland in ail quarters that have been heard froi. Thevote on the local ticket has been only partly counted but so far it indicates the election of the Tam- many ticket. Of the so called pivo- tal states the latest reports from Conneticut indicate the election of the Harrison ticket by from 800 to 1,000. The later return from New Haven may cut this down somewhat New Jersey is democratic by about 8,000. ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC’S ESTIMATE. At the hour of going to press with this edition, the indications are that Cleveland has carried New York by about 15.000 plurality and that Hill is elected governor by about 16,000 plurality. New Jersey is certainly democratic by a plurality ranging from 5,000 to 8,000. Con necticut is claimed by both parties, but the chances are in favor of the democrats. From Indiana the re- turns are so meagre, owing to the lateness of the hour at which the polls closed, that it is impossible to form estimates. Such indications as there are are in favor of democrat- ic success by an increased plurality. The news from [Illinois indicates that Palmer has carried the state, and the national ticket is running very close. From Wisconsin, returns from a few districts indicate such large democratic gains that the chair- man of the democratic state com- mittee claims the state for Cleveland by 10,000 plurality. Michigan will probably go republican by a reduc- ed majority. No definite news has yet been received from California, but a dispatch received early in the evening stated that the democratie majority in San Francisco was so heavy as to indicate that the state has gone democratic. The New York World, on the ba- sis of the latest returns claims the state for Cleveland by a plurality of 17,000. Senator Gorman says: “New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Indiana are safe.” Later editions of the Republic will contain full details up to the hour of going to press. Mrs. Leonard Will Not Vote. New York, Nov. 5.—Mrs. Cynthia Leonard, the candidate of the equal rights party for mayor of this city registered in the thirty-fourth elec- tion district of the seventh assembly district and then secured a manda- mus to compel theinspectors of that district to allow her to vote. The matter eame up for argument in su- preme court chambers to-day when lawyer Nelson Smith appeared in Mrs. Leonard’s behalf and entered upon 4 long argument claiming un- der the constitution of the nation his client was entitled to suffrage and that no state law could abridge the privileges of any citizen. Judge Lawrence remarked that he didn’t wish to listen to any disserta- tion on natural rights and denied the motion. Mrs. Leonard and An- na P. Johnson who were in court agreed.in declaring that the judge was wrong- \ A PATRIOTIC LETTER. | At Least it Ought to be, Written From | the Top of the Washington Mon- j ument. One year ago iast summer I de-! clined the compliment of a free ride | on the inclined railway to the sum- | mit of Mt. Washington until I had | climbed to its 6,393 feet elevation. | The next time I rode up. A short while ago a party of my friends and I ascended the great Washington Monument shaft in the elevator, but its conservative slowness did not satisfy me, and now alone I have just walked the 898 steps in nine minutes, or in four minutes less than the former ascent. The time is immeasurably short, and glory and weariness are mine! But being here what do I see? Not so wide a horizon as the height would lead one to anticipate, for Washington is completely shut in by ranges of hills. Sugar-loaf moun- tains, thirty-eight miles away, is the furthest object that the eye can see without imagination’s aid. Not so vast a view, by far, as from the mountain’s peak, but a scene of mar- velous beauty! The lavy Potomac, up above narrowed to an un-note- worthy breadth,down below widened to lake-like resemblance. Arlington's massive columns; the verging hills beyond, and still further the dim outlines ofthe Blue Ridges. George town Hights come next in the sweep of the eye, then Washington’s shady avenues, beautiful residences, mare sive public buildings, monuments, gardens, the wall, and at its extreme that supreme attainment of build- ing—the Nation's capitol. Until within the last month there was no admission to the monument, vandalism having caused its closure shortly after completion. Now, congress having liberally provided funds for running the elevator, light- ing by electricity and employing a force of guards, &&., free admission is extended to the general public. The Eiffel iron tower in Paris (to be completed next spring) will have an elevator shaft of nearly 1,000 feet. At present, however, this 500 feet lift is the highest vertical ascent man can make by machinery’s aid. Ihave been in Washington seven months, and leave for Philadelphia to-morrow, having resigned my po- sition m the government service One year ago last May I was visit- ing in Washington, and decided to take the civil service examination. Immediately afterward I left, and paid no further attention to the mat- ter. In two or three mofths I was informed that I had passed the ex- amination (grade 90*) and was on the “list of eligibles.” The follow- ing March I received an appointment to a clerkship at $1,000 per annum in the office of the Chief of Engin. eers, War Department, April 20th, I accepted and entered upon the po- sition. Not a word was written or said in my interest, and I believe most firmly in the fact of a civil ser- vice reform. At that time I was pursuing my studies and teaching music in Phila- delphia. Now, anxious to resume my chosen work, Iam about to re- turn; and my promise of success seems bright. I would say to those who have been otherwise informed, that it is not hard to save from $40 to $50 per month out of a $1,000 per annum salary, and live well, in Washington (for a single person.) Civil Service appointments arefor six months probation. This period ended with me Oct. Ist, and I re- ceived an unconditional appointment at $1,000. For any young person whohas suf- ficient decision to let go a place which Promises a sure living without burdensome labor, a government clerkship is an excellent stepping- stone to moreSindependent living. Those who have not the courage to jet go, had better stay away alto- gether, for it is an ambitionless life. Manyof the latter class have said to me to-day “I congratulate you.” Atthe close of this personal let- ter, I would express my interest in Butler's prosperity, and my regard | for its people, whom not forgetting I would still call my friends.
