To correct it wax impossible.

Ruder airthcso circumstances. added to flic- Rurchard escapade, we have lost thcKtate by less than twelve hundred plurality. There must have been some superb manngennmt Fomewhere. It is quite the Tash ion to criticise the chairmen of the national commit toe, Mr. Jor.o® und Mr. T'Vkins. Had we succeeded They would have been extolled us groat political mnnng ers. That we did not succeed comes, ns I hare shown, from crrcumstances which they could not poesihly control or foresee. Thenfidelity it is absurd to question. In season mul out of season, and under sacrifices which hu* few men would have endured, they sought the .success of the ticket, and no one has a right to criticise their conduct, unless it is some I*llo who liis contributed to the .success of the party as largely as they have done; and if criticism is limited to these quarters the •public may rest assured that then* will be no criticism.” “Do you think this defeat seriously ulTecU tin* future of the party?’’ “On the contrary. I think it solidifies the p:ir ty. We are now a compact, powerfnl, *qdcndid political organization, identical iu opinion and purpose. It is a curious feature of the triumph of the Democratic party at this election that the only reason that the country will not be greatly damaged by its success is that its success has not been complete, and the wily hope of the patriotic Democrat now is. not that his,party has triumphed, hat that it has not triumphed completely. The snivntion of the country rests an tho fact, not that Cleveland is elected—the hope of success ou the part of all our great industries rests not on the fact that lie is to be our next President, but. rathor on the fact that, being our next President, he and tlve House of Representatives behind him will !>e unable to carry out the doctrine which he represents, because of the interposition of the Kepuldteau Senate: and so again, as in the countless install I*l *s of the past, the Republican i*u-iy saves the corn r try." “How long will the Democratic party hold together?’* “Within six months the so called reformers of the civil service will le compelled to abandon it. The Democratic party is the caucus, and the caucus is the solid South. Assaults will le made upon our irninstrial system which will fail in their effect, but such assaults will tend toopon the* eyes of the public and the country to the danger of D< -moor&tki rule. This wiil drive from them all those deluded and dyspeptic Republicans who have absurdly believed that the Democratic party is as favorably inclined to the protect km of American industries as the Re publican. The independents will not be reeog nized. sad if one of them should happen to be. the others, who are neglected will take alarm, and with their natural tendencies to bolt, the first purpose of the independent will be to purify the Democratic party to which it has recently attached itself by bolting its nominations. The independent seems to know of no method for purifying either church or party save by defeating it I look for n strengthening from Ibis time forward of the Republican party, and withih two years I expect that every Northern State will wheel into Sine under its banners.

The Republican Recruits Will Stick. ' i.att V New York Letter. 1 asked the managers of the Republican com mittfe whether tluir new recruits front the workingmen. nnd the Irishmen. and the foreigners iu general, will he apt to stick. They replied that since Blaine's defeat Mr. Ford, and others who had supported Blaine, had come to them and proffered, extended service*. K very body know* that this is going to be the cane with upright Irishmen who do not give away their cause from a single defeat. After Mr. Blaine came to New York, and there was a magnitioent procession of business people passed his hotel in the rain, and the Democrats organised another procession for Cleveland, poor Mr. Jones, the chief of the national committee, took his place in front of the rooms, and saw this huge procession pass. Afterit had been going some time, he said: "Will it never end!" “Why,” said Elkins to him. "we have got a German, an Irishman, or a workingman for every one of those fellows.” Poor Mr. Jones seemed cut np from that day. Yet he never flinched, but pnt up his money, gave his notes, and to this moment is a genuine soldier of the Cross. One of the peculiar things about the Republican national committee was that while they had no money on hand they had the most extraordinary credit Every banker down town who would not give a cent himself wanted to advance money on the notes of Jonee and Elkina Jones was understood to be a stright-up and-down man. and Elkins was known to be a prosperous one. The condition of things at the moment was against loaning on schemes and bonded adventures. But to get two honest true men on paper was the delight of all the bankera Barnurn, one of the Democratic managers. after the election, said to Elkina "Where in the devil did you get all those Irish votes!” "We got them,” said Elkins, "by their sympathies.” "Well,” said Barnnra, "we knew how many Republicans we were going to get for Cleveland, but we never gave yon fellows credit for the Inh votes yon did get. We expected 50,000 majority in New York State, and here we a pulling through with about 1,200 majority." The above conversation is made np from talks with various persons, all influential, and may be relied upon in nearly all it has to say. The New York Sun lias au article expressing the belief that the Irish who have gone over to tlio Republicans will stay, and the Irish Republican vote will become a great power in the fu lure. It concludes thus: "The Irishmen who have joined the ranks of Ihe Republicans belong to the class known as the Nationalists —not dynamiters, for they were lor Cleveland —and, as these Nationalists are the most intelligent among the Irishmen in this country, they are. of corn so. under ordinary .•; is u instances, able to exercise a good deal <,r influence over lukewarm Irish Democrat*; but in the campaign just ended this influence was accidentally firokeu to pieces by the Hev. Dr. Bure hard. That gentleman played the bull iu Brother Blaine’s chinas-hop, but after alt there s no uk in abusing the hull, especially when ihe real blame rests with the Flnmed Knight, who neglected to take him by the horns at the proper moment. But it is not likely that another Burchard will again rise up at the last moment to help the Democrats out of a difficulty, and to cieet a I'residetit by a plurality jf 1,000 vote*” "BOODLE” IN INDIANA. IniPcnlloiM that tlio Stale Was Purchased by tlio Democrats. Clot-nan TriUnne. There s strong evidence that the Democrats resured the State of Indiana by the we of money through the purchasable vote, which has i been considerable in that State for many years. 'They bought their majority by direst bribery es I voters. The surface indications aro then®: The Demux rats, shortly before election, made a eloso ihmi

The bust they could figure out was a possible majority of 2.400 or 2,500 on the assumption that the T*rdhibitionists would poll 10.000 voto3. nine tenths ta be taken from the : Republicans. The Republican cenvass. which *j was very thorough and accurate, indicated a Re- i publican majority of 4.<#H after giTigg tSe Fro hibitiouists 5.000 votes. The result that : while rite tfVohibitwnistJs riwt Ilian Biatf as | many votes the ftegMcrarta •comilied on, yet tho Democratic majority iu the State is twice as large as they hoped for when they expected that the Republicans would lose IOJKK) votes through the ■'‘Saint” John side issue. Ncmrefhing must have occurred during tho few days immediately preceding the election to convert the ascertained Republican advantage into an unexpected .Democratic success. IT ’flint ■‘♦some thing’' were a matter of policy—a sjwech by Blaine or Cleveland, au offease .given to some faction, or any like occurrence—it would be no terirms. ’But. us the ‘•something'is not appar ont, tho most rational explanation for the sud den tfftangeis the corrupt use rtf money. There nns more specific evidences rtf the pur chase of votes in *S(*rernl of populous cities in tnHiana. South fVcaid furnishes n consjric uo-us instance.

At a later municipal elerniem sa still largor proportion'acted with the Republicans, andeecured the election of a Repub lican inaym* anil city offices by large majorities. I During the late ’ campaign nearly all of; thorn joined Republican dubs, attended btepub licau meetings, and their young men nearly all marched in the ‘Republican torchlight proces sione, Shouted for Bkiiive when he visited that city,"anil indicated vi uminimous -support of the Republican ticket. ’Election dqy it is saidtha' not more than fifty out of the f'ntrre 1.200 Doles voted as they had talked, shouted and marched. The statement is made, ami borne out by the result, that a singu tor change came over the spirit of their dreams the Sunday preceding the election, and that money wti pmd over to each voter in a fixed anmimt. the bosses and more 'influential men among the Polish people receiving a larger '‘bonus” than the others is understood to be fact It is known that a large sum of money, van ously estimated at &VJ;UDO to S"U).*T@O. was sent to Indianapolis the Friday* before election. This “boodle,’’ as it was called, was divided into packages of small bills, and fils tributed to South Rend, Fort Wayne, Terre Haute, and a dozen other points where Republican gains were claimed, after retaining a sufficient amount for tho purchase of votes at, the State•Gapital. It was sent from New York to pun*hast* not less than 5.000 rotes, and it wiped out the Republican gains at Fort Wayne as it won back the 1,200 Polish votes in South Rend and hnndreds of others among different “elements” at vurious point* throughout the State. If the Rtfpublican cawv.vs* before the election was based uj>on any intention to secure votes by purchase, the scheme failed through lack of money, for they never had any funds to emplojin that way. I>ut the Democratic managers were on hand with their ’boodle” ut tho critical moment and captured tho “HotUers” {as tire purchasable voters are nulled) in sufficient i>um bers to carry the State, which they bad given up as lost to them, and Which if left unbribed and unbought would have sttrely given its eke to pal vole to Blaine fer President and Galkins for Oovei’nor. Bribery and corruption transferred the State to Cleveland and Gray.

SENATOR :HSII,NOS. lie Is Happy In the Belief that He Assisted in the liefest of Blaine. Washington Speeia?t. There is one Republican who boars with equ& nimity the failure of the Republican ticket. This [ihiieeephienl Republican is St. Jerome Edmunds. He could have saved the Republican ticket if he had been so inclined It is the general opinion that if Edmunds had made a single speech in the State of New York toward the close of the campaign, he certainly would have had enough influence with the independents to have carried the State beyond any question. He was urged at different times during the campaign to come forward and stuiport the t-ieket. He was smoked out in his own State only once, lie presided at the Burlington meeting simply because he feared retaliation at. the hands of some of his party manager*. lie came oat to help himself. In Vermont party lines are strictly drawn, independents being unknown in that State. Mr. Edmunds'* appearance, however, was much mom damaging than would have been his silence. If Mr. Blaine would have been successful the Vermont senator would have fared badly in his own State. The Republican leaders in that State have been in secret revolt allduring this campaign. A conspiracy was formed to pull down this Green mountain joes from his senatorial pedestal. It is possible that this combination against Edmunds will succeed. It is clearhowover, that Edmunds is stronger with Grover Cleveland successful. Mr. Edmunds is delighted with tlio result of the campaign. He feels certain that Blaine's defeat will force tlio Republic ans to nominate him four years from now. He is enough of a hypocrite to capture all the highkicking independents. He also drinks behind the door in a style that will charm all the Prohibitionist*. If he is nominated he can count, of course, npon the regular Republicans. This is St Jerome's dream. He has worked as deliberately to produce Blaine's defeat as did Roscoo Conkling. How Conkling Worked against Blaine. Interview with Utica Democrat. The Conklin men bolted Blaine more generally than any'one expected they would. They were closely organized. They had headquarters in Mr. Conkling'* law office, where De Angelis, John lirandegee, Charley Everotts and two or three others carried on os regular a campaign against Blaine as the Democrats did, holding communication with Stalwarts in every part of the county. They did their work so quietly, however, that the Blaine men never suspected how seriously they were undermining the Republican canvass. We saw that we were going to lose heavily from the Irish voters, and if it had not, been for the bolt of the Conkling men wo would have been in poor shape in the county. Our loss from this source is especially seen in the towns of Florence, Forestport and Kirkland, where we had always been strong. Cleveland has a brother in Forestport and tko State is doing soma large canal work there, the workmen being under Democratic control, but, notwithstanding that, our vote fell off heavily. Our largest gain from the Stalwarts was in the town of Wliitesboro. where United States Commissioner C. M. Dennison lives. Dennison was true to Blaine, bat ho was not able to stem the tide of the Coukliug men against him. TUB PRESIDENT-ELECT. An Interview which Given Some Idea of the Kind of Man Ho Is. Baltimore American. A staff correspondent of the Baltimore American, who went to Albany as soon as the presidential election was decided, telegraphs to that paper ar. interview with the President-elect which will give the public an accurate idea of how tlie next. President of the Nation talks and acts. This correspondent says: Bearing In mind Mr. Cleveland’s letter to Mrs. Beecher. 1 expected I would find him at the Executive Chamber almost at any timo of the day or night. With several others I made my way into his presence. I was presented as the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore American, and moreover, as my friend said, "an ardent Blaine man, who has come to see whether Blaine was beaten because ho was the lesser mun.” "How are you!" said the Governor, as he took my hand. His greeting was as hearty as if he had been really glad to see me. and he smiled a rather self satisfied smile as he said: “I guess Blaine was beaten because lie didn't got votes enough,” I admitted that that seemed to be about the size of it, but remarked that lie did not lack very many. "That's so," said the Governor. "But enough's enough, ” and then he went on: “There aro some advantages In small majoriiiex As it is. no one man or no particular faction caa olaim to have elected me, for the weak oiling of any one pui* of the Una would have sot-

So. toiling me to sit down a moiimnt, ns he wanted to chat with iue, he turned away. I had an excellent opportunity to watch him as he moved about the room. lie is not so tall as 1 had thought he was from cnsu.itly mee ting hijn. He appears to*be about five? feet nine. Neither is tie a handsome man. llis campaign lithographs flatter him as much as Blaine’s do turn injustice. His face is what a barber wouid call a hard face to shave, imd ite general appearance indi cates a man who either eats too much or does not sleep enough. The front rff his Prince Albert coat protrudes considerably beyond the building line, and his trousers are inclined to feel themselves above his shoe tops. His voice is neither harsh .nor musical, and his manner is decidedly ordinary. -A little girl was .among those presented. “Ah,” said he. “tho little girls, too.” “Yes* said the proud mother; “she’s had her flag up all summer ” “How are you. sissy?’ then said the Governor. “Pretty well,” said the little one; “but women can’t vote.” “O,” said the President-elect, carelessly but pleasantly, “the b.diea aro very useful in their way. ” In about an hour the crowd had gone, and the Governor, coming back to his desk, addressing me. said: “So you're from‘Washington, are yop? 1 * 1 admitted 1 that bespoke the triith. '•You know Mt. Blaine pretty well, do your “Ytts.*’ “Well, I find a good many newspaper men who know Blaine personally. Doesevury public man have to know all the hoys?’’ “They don’t linvo to,’ I replied, Hbtft most of them manage to do no.” “Well, liow rtn you fellows treat a man down there?" he asked. * “Well, we tell the truth, Governor,” said I. “Then a man most be on his good bohavior,” 3aid tie, toughing. * That's just it.” “When I asked him if ho had ever been to Washington, he replied: “Ati. yes; oiicc'ot twice.” “How long ago!" 1 asked. “U.’ said he, “I don’t just remember. Only a couple of timos on business.” “Washington is -improving every year now. You will find it a nice place to live,” said I. “I presume I should if i was to have time to enjoy it, but I expect to bo pretty busy there.” “Yes,” said 1, “that's what the people of Washington are afraid 6?.” “Afraid of whrttr.’he asked. “That you’ll be very busy, atid that they'll Suffer by it.” “Bv the loss of their heads, eli?” “J ust .so.” “Well, lam not mur-h of n chopper. 1 don’t know lirtw ——- T r and ho laughed again. Just then Darnel Manning entered, and he was introduced to me as a man who was to be open to congratulations himself. Wednesday, as ho was going to be married. Mr. Manning motioned to the Governor, and the Governor, telling Wo that ho supposed Manning wanted to consult him about the wedding, asked me to drop into tnomyw again, as he wanted to learn moro about Washrngtdn. He and Manning then locked themselves op in th inner chamber.

Philadelphia Tiwres (lUnu,* There are many thousands of young Democrats who now fondly hope to get into office. There is a fasciuation about official position, however humble, that readily tempts even sensible young men. and often old men as well, to desert the content of industry and frugality, to enter the feverish, ill-reqiritou, and unsatisfying field of political mendicants. There is but one sensible answer to give to all such, and that is the advice of Puucn to young folk about to get married—Don’t! If any young Democrat imagines that the possession of office is a haven of bliss, let him take a week, >ad spond a lew dollars, looking over the now trembling official dependents who have gone before. Let him go to Washington. and look over the thousands of govern ment subordinates there. Let him gaze into their shadowed faces; at the genteel poverty that assarts itself in tlteir apparel, and at the bowed and silvered who look to removal as starvation. Let the victims of this once pleasing ambition be consulted, and tho seusible young Democrat wiil return to his home and the con tent of honest industry, cured of office-begging. No greater unkindness can he shown to any young man of fitness for subordinate public office, than to gratify the dream oT his ambition by giving him a clerkship or tide-waitership in one of the departments of Washington, or in one of the city 'federal offices. Os those who will seek office, not on* in fiv* will be successful: of those who shall happen to be successful, not one half will better their condition even for the present., and of the Other half, only the bitterness of disappointment nnd helplessness will be their portion. Not one subordinate in fivo hundred ever rises above the position of a dependent. It is a worse than wasted life to many; a profitless life to all. Don't! Birds in (lie Orchard. •Farm, Field and Fireside. The insects and the murdering gunners are the worst enemies the fruit-grower encounters. There was a time ir the past, when the earth was under the dominion of insects and venomous reptiles, and not until the birds completed the work of insect destruction was our globe made habitable for man. Although the conditions of she present day may not be so unfavorable to man's prosperity, Vet he could not ekist without the ..id of the birds. The birds keep the intruders from multiplying too rapidly, and would even do much greater service but for* the base ingratitude of rtnm, Who, With the shotgun ktid snare, keeps them perpetually limited to fewer man bers. and drives them from his presence. RoW Bau birds be induced to remain near the farmer? Bimply by protecting them. We well know that birds themselves prey upon each other, the carnivorous hawk and owl making sad havoc among the insectivorous kinds, the one depending upon strength and natural weapons of assault for success, while the others seek safety in flight or seclusion. By trying a few experiments farmers cun soon learia how to protect tile birds and secure their presence. Wo know of a farmer who not only desired birds, but preferred theftt of different varieties. He built boTfes and placed them upon tho branches of trees> under the eaves of the houses and barns and upon poles. These boxes were made with entrances of different sizes and diameters. The holes of the boxes for the little wrens Wefe not larger than an inch. Then a few a little larger were made for the blue birds, ana thus ho increased the siZo to accommodate all. The smallest birds sought the boxes with the small entrances, where larger birds could not enter, the result being perfect security and safety for ali He has no difficulty in retaining biWto. Which perform Valuable Work on his farm, and also benefiting his neighbors* but the shotgun is never fired on his premises. Why should farmers tolerate the destruction of birds 6n the farm simply to afford sport to cruel, heartless sportsmen, who know nothing of the usefulness of tire slaughtered innocents, and who do more damage annually to the crops of this country, by killVog birds, than do all tho dogs among sheep, great as the figures may Bed in against the dogs.

Some Big Beets, Correspondence Ohio Farmer. Some oiie inquires about the method of raising mangel wurnels. I have seven acres of mangels—yield, five thousand bushels. Planted six varieties. The Norbian Giant and Ovoid yield one thousand bushels to the acre. These are the most profitable kind to grow; grow best on loam. Black muck land Will grow only Norbian Giant and long Red. The Yellow Globe grows best on heavy clajr; should be planted in thirty two-inch rows, thin to twelve inches apart, ridge with cultivator by takingout center tooth. Ground cannot be too high. Hoe twice, thin last time; scrape same as tobacco first time; two men by walking backwards, one each side of row. can sCriipe two acres a day; have hoes sharp. Work up to Ist of August with cultivator; use no plow. I harvested 7,000 bushels off seven acres, two years ago. Mv largest beet this yeer weighed thirty-two pounds—a Norbian Giant. I bad thirty-one at county fair last year, weighing over twenty five pounds each; sixty at New York State fair this year, twenty-five pounds each. Hail first premium at both fairs I have hundreds of boots thisyear weighing over twenty pounds each. Items in Closing Work for the Season, Country OCutlcimiu. Before winter closes the work of tlie season, there aro Some smaller items of work which are easily performed, but which are often forgotten or not remembered at the right time. Among these, are raking up dry leaves, or drawing them from the woods, lor litter and protection from frost; cutting and burning the dead seeded stalks Os burdocks along fences, and committing them to tho brush heap; applying winter mulching to such trees and plants its are better for it; spreading manure between tho rows of strawberries, two inches thick; laying down grapevines and holding them flat oil the ground without covering; cleaning dead stalks from asparagus, and applying three inches of manure; cleanng,polishing and oiling all metallic tools; assort ing apples before storing them for winter in the fruit room; protecting young fruit trees from mice with a compact mound or cone of earth; cutting grafts and securing them for winter; making currant and gooseberry cuttings; registering newlv set orchards, and covering strawberries and cither green plants with branches of evergreens. Timber Screens. Country (leuth-muii. Different persons judge of the benefit of screens according to the way they look at them. Some decide on their influence by watching tho diminished growth of crops directly under their shade, or within the reach of their roots. Others look for their benefits too far off. The follow ing rule will apply with considerable accuracy: Within a range equal to the height of the trees, the growth of most crops will be lessened: beyond this limit and for a distance seven times as great as the height of the screen, there will be a decided benefit to most crops, and especially to those liable to be injured by severe winds; still further away the benefit will gradually disappear at twelve times the height of tho screen. Theso results will bo modified by severe or open winters, or wotor stormy summers. Tho screens are of course expected to be so dense as to nearly arrest violent winds, Dorsey ou ArtUar, Interview tm Bt.

Philadelphia Preaa.. All Gaul is divided into three parts—and tho greatest of these is Car! Sehurz. A few nighis ago a Bold of dry sage on the battluftcld of Missionary Ridge became ignited, nnd soon the flames were spreading with light-ning-like rapidity.

Investigation developed the fact that three shells were imbedded iu the stump and exploded from the heat The Kicker Has No Influence. FliiladalpUift Call.

Pittsburg Commercial. There is reason to believe that it is beginning to dawn upon a great mauy former Republicans who voted for St. John that they “played h—4 and fell in” this time. The present fancy in pincushions is to cover a plain cushion with a square tidy <of antique lace mid to fasten on it at one side a quito largo round bow of loops of golden brown, olive and dark red ribbon about two inches wide. Women hove discovered that a very small mirror may be made almost as useful as a large one, if set on an easel in the dressing-room, and that an old easel painted brown or black is good substitute for one of solid walnut. A dingy oilcloth may be brightened by washing it in clear waiter with a little borax dissolved in it; wipe it with a flannel cloth that you have dipped* into milk, and then wring it as dry as possible. Dark faces are best affeotod by darker colors, because they tend to render the complexion fairer, and fair fac*;s do not require dark colors, because the opposition wouid be too strong.

It is no* claimed that Hood’s Sarsaparilla is a Specific for rheumatism—we doubt if there is or can bo such aremedy. But the thousands benefited by Hood’s Sarsaparilla warrant us in urging others who suffer from rheumatism to take it before the first keen twingo. TEST TOUR MMGjWBEE! TO-DAI!
