Texas gives a Democratic majority of 150,000. Hovey’s plurality plurality for governor is 2,191. Judge Wood? instructions to the United States grand jury in. dicates that he is after Dudley. Sam Randall, of Pennsylvania’ has 18,000 majo ity for Congre-s. He had no Republican opposition. Speaker Carlisle has been reelected to Congress by a majority of 6,000, and yet the Republicans want to cheat him out of his seat. ■> ... President Cleveland has designated, by proclamation, tho 29th day of November next as a day of Thanksgiving and prayer, to be kept and observed throughout the land. Wednesday last Wright Williams, of Delphi, visited Rensselaer and brought into play a “divining rod” in search for gas. The instrument indicated gas veins in various localities. The engraved heading of the Republican ticket of this county was as complete a ‘distinguishing’ mark as could well have been pre. pared for that purpose, and we believe that was the object intended Dudley has not yet put in nis appearance at Indianapols to take oath that he did not tign and circulate the letter ascribed to him, and lift the SI,OOO deposited by the Indianapolis Sentinel for such service. Last Saturday George Strickfadden gave Wm. Wood and LL. Grant a wheelbarrow ride, and D. W. Shields performed the same service for ‘Ras’ Peacock, in fulfilmen of agreements to that effect in case Mr. Cleveland sustained defeat. Just now it is hard to find a Greshamite in Rensselaer. Before and immediately after the nomination of Harrison this neck of the woods was full of Gresham followers. At present republicans hereabouts are preparing their weapons to knife each other for ihe spoils. We have been frequently in. quired of why Horace E. James doesnot fly his own name as editor of his Democrat? Horace is such a schemer we have not undertaken to explain. Possibly he does not wish to be held politically responsible for the editorials at present appearing in his paper.— Harrison is elected, and Horace may be contemplating a re-ap-pointment to Turk Island. Republican jollifications have been in order during the past week. The jub.’lee at this place last Sat urday evening was not near so largely attended as that of the Democrats four years ago. At Mt. Ayr the hilarity was of such a nature that a number from this place returned home without their hats. No respect was maid to either senatorial or ministerial cloth. Editor Sentinel: We de sire thro’ the columns of your paper to express ourgheartfelt thanks to the people of Rensselaer and vicinity, for their kindness and assistance in the "recent sickness and death of our dear mother.

Told You So.

We take great pleasure in calling the attention of people who voted for “protection to American , labor” to the following incidents: I Last June E. S. Higgins & C0.,1 carpet manufacturers of New York j reduced their force one-tlurd on account of anticipated depression of business under he Mills bill, and brought their men into line for Harrison & Morton by declaring that wages would have to be reduced unless they weie elected. The firm has now given notice of a further reduction of their force one-half, and 600 men will be thrown out of employment. On Friday last the new pipe mi.l of the Reading iron works shut down, “owing to a lack of orders,” and 300 men were thrown out of employment. On Saturday the Boston sugar refinery, in compliance with orders from the sugar trust, shut down “temporarily,” and all of its employes are left to live on high tariff and east wind. The cheering informatii n is received that the copper trust has made contracts with all the American copper mines for their supply for the next, ten years, for the purpose of restricting production and raising the price of copper. Put these facts down in your note books, good protectionists. We will furnish you further item s from time to time. —Indianapolis Sentinel.

MILLS CLOSING ALREADY.

The High Protection Victory In Its Results on Manufactures. [New York Special.] Bad as the situation is for general trade, it appeals to be the death blow of the carpet manufacturers . Notices have been posted in ths e. tensive carpet mi ls of E. S. Higgins & Co., W. Forty-third st. and Eleventh-ave., of t reduction of the present working force of one-half, from and after Monday next, which means .hat 600 hands, male and female, will be thrown out of work at least for some time. About 1,100 hands in all will be out. Three hundred of Higgins’ employes marched in the republican parade on Saturday under a protection banner. They will “carry the banner” and live on snow balls this winder, which will not be so much fun. Superintendent Higgins, one of the firm, states that “the carpet manufacturers have adopted a plan whereby they can make goods as they can sell them.’ This is a delicate way of saying that a new trust has been formed. They will spring up all around now that they have a source of prot.ction from the aseendant political party. ‘‘Petersoa’s Magazine” for December is fully equal to the preceding l umbers of the volume. This excellent periodical has excelled itself during the present year. “Out with Mosby’s Men” is one of the most striking sketches to be found among the December magazines. It is the adventure of a Southern belle, shut up in Richmond, who managed by the aid of this noted band, to cross the Union lines and get back, bearing fresh supplies for her wardrobe. The adventure is related with great spirit, and the fact that every incident actually happened adds to the charm. The opening story, “An Unexpected Reply,” is charmingly written and illustrated, as is the article “A W inter Pastime.” The two serials end; Mrs. Hooper and Miss Bowman always write admirably, but this time each has gone above her average. The double-size colored fashion-plate makes an effective picture, and the costumes are the most stylish we have seen t .is season. The work table designs afford patterns for all sorts of pretty and useful holiday gifts, “Peterson is the most complete, as well as the cheapest, family magazine xU America.

BUT A TEMPORARY DEFEAT.

(From first page—Concluded.)

outside of the window where the votes are taken is usually crowded with oersene who seriously interfere with the uutrammeled exercise of the right of suffta; e. Ido not be lieve that any law can stop this buyi«g and selliag or votes. Our laws on that subject are already very se vere but they are n t enforced. But I do believe that some changes as I suggested would make the buy ing of vote unprofitable and uncertain and thereby lessen it, “Much of the floating or purchasable vote may be attributed to our system of primary elections where candidates are selected by ballot at elections held without sanction of the law and under no penalties for improper practices; It will be found upon examination of the poll-books that the large purchasable and floating vote is to be found in counties where this practice prevails. Candidates who are seeking nominations are ready to pay men for their votes at the primary elections and no law of the state is thereby violated. But the man who sells his vote at a primary election may be pretty certainly counted on to do the same at the election following. I think, therefore, chat the primary elections should be as in Ohio—under the law of the state with such restrictions and penalties as will limit th? corruption which now prevails. Much good would come of extending the terms of all our state and county offices to four years and making the terms end in such a way that off-year elections would apply only to congress and to the state legislature. In this way at every alternate election there would be an appeal to the people in regard to existing or proposed legi dation, and such elections would be comparatively free from corruption. Now, it often happens that a member of congress owes his election or defeat, not to any question of national policy, but to a contest over a county office in his district. I regard the coming session of the state legislature as one of considerable importance. Practically no legislation was accomplished during the last session and therg are many things that require attention. I trust that the democratic majority in the next general assembly will prove equal to the task thus imposed upon it.” In conclusion, Mr. Jewett said: “We have suffered widespread defeat this year, but it is only a temporary set-back. I remember that in 1872, at the presidential election, the republican seemed to have swept us from the face of the earth; yet, two years later the party rallied and captured both houses of congress, and in 1876 we were able to elect Tilden and Hendricks. In 1880 our defeat was apparently irretrievable; yet, four years after the democratic party was successful and elected Cleveland and Hendricks. So it will be in the future. In 1890 we will again capture both houses of congress, and in 1892 elect a democra.ic president. Indeed, I doub' if hereafter any party will be able to hold the administration more than four years. Our population has become so large and restless that at each election it peacefully revolts against the existing order of things. Such is the Lsson we may read in the elections of 187 h, 1880, 1884 and 1888, and the conditions vvhich caused the change m popular sentiment at each of the time, named are increasing and becoming more powerful.”

One of the tariff-made monoDoliesjs the Clark-Coats spool-cotton combine which fleeces the people of the United States out of vast sums of money every year. This “protected” trust is enabled, by virtue of the tariff, to charge the people of this count -y two prices for its goods, while it goes across the border into Canada and sells at one price. A letter to the New York Times from Toronto gives the following statement of the practical workings of this trust: _ Tliis combine sells their two hundred-yard spool thread to the jobbirg trade in the United States at 55 cents per dozen, less 6 per cent, for cash, and a bonus of 9 per cent, payable at the end of the year, which is equal to46f net, and in Consequence the spool is retailed at 5 cents. Here in Canada this selfsame thread, of equal length and quality, is jobbed at 27| cents and retailed ut two spools for 5 cents. The duty in the Uni -

ted States is 53.82 and here 30 per cent., or, in other words, the duty per dozen in the United States is 6| cents per dozen more than in Canada; and as this thread is sold here at 27| cents it should be sold there for 34 cei s. Plainly speaking, this con bine robs the poor seamstress oui o 2 cents on every spool, as they charge 37| per cent, more for their thread there than here. This is the sort of thing that the country voted —wittingly or unwittingly—at the late election to indorse.

The Surplus Question Settled. —As to ihe surplus question, that can be regarded as settled. With an administration in power controlled by such statesmen as Quay, Dudley and Deeds, there is no doubt that any surplus, no matter how large, will be promptly and effectually dissipated.
