THE PRESIDENT PLEASED.
He f.ookii Upon Judge Pecklism’s Victory u *
I’crKonel Triumph.
Washington, November 5.—President
Cleveland believes more than ever that he
is a man of destiny. He is so well pleased
over the election of Judge Peck ham in
New York that he does not take the loss
of democratic votes in the house of repre
sentatives home to himself. He attributes
the falling off there to the democratic
K ill congress that failed to carry out
ggeslions relating to the revising of
the tariff. He is so well satisfied with nis
personal triumph in Judge Peckham’s
election that he gave very little attention
to election returns, and issued an
order similar to the one which he
issued last year restricting ‘ visitors
to the white house, so that he
can have his time to bimself much as pos
sible between now and the meeting of con
gress. The best estimates here place the
democratic majority, jn the house at ten.
This may be cut down four of five votes,an,
even up to this evening, tho reports from
olose districts are conflicting. AH ' the re
publican headquarters to-night a' demo
cratic majority of uiue ia the house is cou- „„
Wad. At the BamoarAtic. h^glquartara this morning. No damage reported,
no estimates are made on account of the '
uncertainty. It is positive that there will
be an unusual number of contested election
cases on account of the closeness of many
of the contests.
Democrats here believe that Judge Peek-
ham was carried through solely by the
kindness and magnanimity of Governor
Hill. If it had not been, they say, for the
personal appeal of Judge Pecikbam to Gov
ernor Hill he would have been left far be
hind. The eor

Earthquakes Are Terrifying the People
, Again.
The People In Augusta Hush Into the Streets In
fHsinay—People Wounded In dharliston—The
({uakliiK Is Felt Generally in Several States.
Washington, November 5.—A slight
shock of earthquake was telt.here about
12:30 p. ni.
A Severe Shook In Augusta.
Augusta, Ga., November 5.—At 12:28
p. m. the severest earthquake shock since
August 31 occurred. It lasted twenty-flve
seconds, and the people rushed iuto the
streets. No damage done.
Charleston Felt It.
Charleston, November 5.—A light but
marked shock of earlhqunke occurred in
Charleston at 12:28 this afternoon. This
was the first shock in a week and lighter
than that of October 22d. There was no
damage and no interruption of business.
CHILDREN HURT UY THE EARTHQUAKE.
The schools were in session at tho time
of the shock, and one pupil in a colored
school was crushed in the panic of the pu
pils and several pupils in the Shaw school,
colored, were injured by falling plastering.
No one was seriously injured.
There was the severest shock felt at
Sumter at 12:25 to-day, and a severe and
continued shock at Greenwood, 9. C., at
12:33 to-day, perhaps the second seve.est
yet felt.
A severe shock was felt at Chesterfield,
8. C., at 12:25 this evening. The same
shock was felt at Laurens, 9. C., and was
the heaviest experienced there since Au
gust 31.
Special despatches received to-night
from Walterboro, Greenwood, Chester
field, Laurens, Abbeville and other points
in the state indicate that the shock to-day
at those places was more severe than in
Charleston. At Walterboro it was so se
vere as to make people rush into the streets
and to cause tne circuit court to adjourn
without ceremony. To-night all is quiet
in Charleston and confidence is restored.
Tho Tar Heels Teok It In.
Raleigh, November 5.—A slight earth
quake shock, short in duration but quite
perceptible, was felt here at 12:25 this after
noon.

vere earthquake shock was felt in this
city at 12:33 this afternoon. It was accom

Mil. GEORGE NOT UNHAPPY.
Mr. George was asked by a reporter last )
evening whether bn would accept, a i
nomination for the scat in congress now
held by Mr. Heivitt. Mr. George said: I
"I do not want to go to congress. I I
would not accept tho nomination of either |
of tiio two old parties were I offered it.”
Dr. McGlynu added tlmt. Mr. George jire- j
furred the grander occupation of teaching I
Congressmen social aud economic truths to
being himself in congress.

vass will meet in the Colonnade Hotel at
4 o’clock this afternoon, and nil persons
having complaints to make are asked to

Boston, November 5.—Leopold Morse
has at. last done what he has so long been
ambitious to do. lie has beaten judge
JUniiey for congress in the swell, aristo
cratic,highly dignified,and proper congress
district in Boston which Mr. Ranney lias
so long represented. When, four years
ago, Mr. Morse, to the iuteuse horror of
little Zigzag Bowman und the astonish
ment of the A, M.s and the A. B.s and the
LL. D.s of Cambridge, stepped out ofhis
big clothing store in Washington
A root to contest tile district that had so
much of the best learning aud culture and
• navy yard in it, it was predicted that Mr.
Morse would learn that there were con
gress districts where a Washington street
shopkeeper oould not successfully aspire
to political hohors. When the votes woro
counted it was found that Mr. Morse had
successfully aspired. It was t hen said that
Mr. Morse, having shown people who have
been disposed to look upon him with ttic
elevated lip of contempt because ho made
and sold ready-made clothes, whose cut
and curability they never disparaged, or
who smiled upon him with the consum
mate art of Boston condescension, that ho
Was able to get himself elected to congress
even in districts where the better element
live, would be content and not seek again
■to go to congress.
But Mr. Morse had another victim in
view even so long as 1882. Precisely what
.circumstance led him to determine to
“wallop” Mr. Rauney politically is not
kn wn, but it was well known to Mr.
Murse’s intimates tiiat he expected sooner
or later to give, as he said, Mr. Ranney a
walloping. Some injudicious lriend re-
S anted this to Judge Runney, und then
iok back his half humorous, half con
temptuous comment. Mr. Ranney is a very
blunt man, and, as he is a very able one,
he has been permitted to express -his mind
pretty freely without much opposition, it
is probable that he made some blunt re
mark either tb or of Mr. Morse, and it is
oertain that the merchant thought that
j. Itannev was a little too comfescending
d patronizing in his inunner. Mr. Morse
the most HipTomatio of noliMciana. If
judge Ranney did thus displease him, it is
quite likely that, instead or betraying an
noyance, Mr. Morse drew from ids pocket
one of those remarkably high-flavored and
delicious cigars which made him many
friends in Washington, mid asked the
judge: to have a smoke Mr. Morse is not
only diplonmlio, but. he is shrewd. 11c ex
pected in 1881 to go over into Judge it.in
ney’s district and make the contest, but it
was presidential year,tho republicans were
making special efforts, and so Mr. Morse
resolved to wait, for lie possesses that
prime qualification for successful polities
—patience. This year the omens were
auspicious, and he appears to have per
formed his long meditated act of wallop
ing.
Mr. Morse doesn’t care much about con
gress honors of themselves. Washington
I is something of a bore to him, and the
i amount of personal favors tie feels called
’ upon to extend to his constituents is great-
| er than any other congressman burdens
himself with, except little Charley O’Neil

pare it with Indiana. Indiana, they say,
has been given up to politicians. Seventy
per cent, of the federal offices have been
changed in accordance with the dictates of
the party managers, and civil service re
form utterly ignored. Yet the reports this
evening place that state in dcubt. and the
republicans have a chance for carrying the
legislature. Congressman Bynum. the
democratic representative of thb India
napolis district, telegraphed here this af
ternoon that he was elected, but tljat the
state and the legislature were republican.
This, if true, will lose the United States
senatorship to the democrats, as the legis
luture, which meets this winter, will elect
a successor to Beil Harrison. Senator
Voorhees, the personal representative of
the administration in Indiana, who had
the giving out of its patronage, has met
with a signal defeat in having his candidate
for congress, John E. Lamb, ex-United
States district attorney, defeated.
Another illustration of the weakness of
the patronage element is shown in Michi
gan. There the president gavo Don M.
Dickinson absolute' control of the patron
age of that state. He succeeded, however,
in making such a factional fight among
the democrats with his patronage that the
state has gone republican, and the legisla
ture, which is to elect a United States sen
ator, has been lost to the democrats.
This is the special prize for which Dickin
son was striving, and he had assured tile

ceived. Mr.Gcorge was particularly pleased
He bad something to say about the meth
ods employed to defeat him, and the po
lice came in tor a share of his denuncia
tion.
Chairman McMackin visited Mr. George
at the hotel ill the afternoon and had a
long talk. He said that hereafter the la
boring man would look after himself polit
ically and let the two old parties shift for
themselves.
Dr. MeGlynn called to congratulate Mr.
George on his large vote. “1 think,” said
Dr. MeGlynn, “that the result is a wonder
ful victory for the poor and lowly. Yes
terday was the Bunker Hill of a glorious
and successful revolution. While permit

In Wisconsin Delaney, who defeated
Gen. Bragg for the nomination in the Fon-
du-lae district, has been himself defeated.
Mr. Delaney was the recipient of special
administration favor. He violated the
president’s civil service order openly, but
he was notJpunished because previous to
going into the campaign he had sent in his
resignation as district attorney to the de
partment of justice. The administration
whipped the devil around the stump by
not accepting the resignation. It was held
in abeyance. The fact that Delaney is de
feated is shown by a dispatch sent by him
to the department of juaticu to-day, which
read: “I am out of politics and wish to
withdraw my resignation.” His example
will afford a good precedent for the activi
ty of future federal officeholders who arc-
on good terms with the administration.

opinion here is universal that the
cause of the surprisingly close contest
lay in the fact tlmt nearly all of tiio
democrats in tho buck counties were un
aware of any formal opposition to Carlisle
and thousands of democrats stayed at
home. Boone county, which will Igive
Carlisle about 500 majority, is democratic,
by at least 3:500, and this is a sample of in
difference. The 2000 majority for Tlioebo
in Campbell aud Kenton count ies is duo
chiefly to the largo number of Knights of
Labor in Covington and Newport. The
chances this morning are decidedly
favorable to Carlisle.
Cincinnati, November 5.—The official
count, in the sixth Kentucky district was
made to-day, but all tiio counties has not
yet been hoard from. Enough is known,
however, to make it certain that Speaker
Carlisle is elected by a majority of 700 or
803. Curlisle was visited to-night by a re
porter of the Associated Press, who asked
him what, m his opinion, was the
cause of ills comparatively small ma
jority. He said: “If tho vote
against me Inst Tuesday had been larger
than the vote against me heretofore, some
significance might he attached to it. Such,
however, is not the fact. Two years ago
my opponent received 9326 votes, or near
ly, if not quite, twich as many as were cost
against me Tuesday, aud yet two years ago
my majority was nearly 6000. If it had
been generally supposed that the oppoBi
tion to me merely amounted to anything, I
think my majority nt this election
would have been 6000 or 7000.
Outside the cities and towns adjacent to
them it was scarcely known that I had an
opponent, and in the cities and towns
my friends attached very little importance
to tlie opposition. They were thrown off
their guard by tho fact that several times
heretofore candidates had announced
themselves in opposition to me and had
received a very smnll vote. They sup
posed it would be the same way tills time
and therefore gave scarcely any attention
to the election.
Being asked if tiis views of the tariff
affected the vote to any extent, Curlisle re
plied: “The tariff question had no more
influence upon the vote thia Mine than it
has hud at. previous elections in this dis
trict. Thera uro always a few who Vote
against meson account of my advocacy of
revenue refSrm, and I prosumo they did so
in the recent election, but I have no reason
to believe the nUinber was greater than
usual. This coBWessiimal district is over
whelmingly lffiifator of revision of
the tariff and a Mtmcflon of
taxation, and 1 no “nan who
takes the opposite ground could, be elected
on nny ticket. Of course a systematic at
tempt will hi made to show that the losses
sustained by tlie democratic party at the
recent elections are duo to its position on
the tariff question. But a careful examina
tion of the returns will prove tlmt there is
no foundation for such a conclusion; The
losses arc by no means confined to st.iil.i ■
or districts wiioac representative^
voted to consider the tariff bill a 1 ,
the la.41. session of congress, and
there is nothing in the result to discourage
the advoeateB of a revision and reduction. ’
Many onuses contributed to tlie defeat of
our candidates in different localities. Some
of these causes were local and some
general. It ia too early to attempt lo
enumerate them, hut I think it safe to sav
that localenusts have contributed far more
to produce the result than general ones.
At nny rate there in no just
cause for alarm or despondency. The
democratic party has survived many de
feats which would have been fatal Lo nny
othi r political organization, nnd this little
repulse will only stimulate it to greater
exertion in the future. We need not sur
render any principles or abandon any
policy heretofore announced; hut we must
prepare to meet our opponents openly and
manfully on every issue that divides the
two parties.”

Hr. Paul, November 5.—The returns are
not received from all the counties, but
both parties cry “fraud.” The Pioneer
Press, republican, claims the state for
governor by 2500. The Globe, democratic,
claims it for Ames by 5000 to 7000. These
figures correspond closely to the claims of
the republican and democratic commit
tees. The majorities for congressmen are:
First district, Wilson, democrat, 4081;
second, Lind, republican, 7385; third, Mc
Donald, democrat, 1228; fourth, Ri<w,
democrat, 4635; filth, Nelson, republican,
26,000—tho latter had no opposition. The
legislature will be republican by at least
forty majority on a joint ballot.
Three entire days have passed since the
polls were closed and it is not yet certain
ly known who is to be the next governor
of Minnessota. Both parties still claim the
election of their respective candidates and
charges of fraud and prospects of a pro
tracted contest and possible litigation are
looming up unpleasantly. The Evening
Dispatch has the following summary^}
forty complete counties: McGill 8206,
Ames 17,353; twenty-six nearly complete
counties, McGill 9046, Aines 3001, fifteen
only meagrely reported, McGill 1280,
Ames 97. This puts Ames in the lead by
1580. At the Pioneer Press office it u
claimed that the official returns to-day
have increased the majority of 2532, it had
figured out for McGill, so that his majority
now stands at 3500. This is on the basis of
official returns from forty counties and
comprehensive; but there are no complete
returns from all others.

Chicago, November 5.—In accordance
with tho order of Master Workmen But
ler, 1500 beef killers employed in Armours’
packing house joined the strikers already
out making the demand that their em
ployers should re-establish the eight hour
working day. About 200 men remained at
work ut Armours’ beef department and
that house is killing a few cattle this morn
ing. The pork men are all at work as
usual. It is stated that a force oi Pinker
ton guards will arrive at the yards during
the day.
Infotmation from the stock yards of a
reliable character indicates that all the
B ork men will be ordered out by the
blights of Labor, thus renewing the strike
for eight hours in all its former propor
tions, throwing between 20,000 and 25,000
men out of employment.
