and it reveals the fact that the state is
safely Republican by nearly 1,000 plural
i'y. Promlnent Democrats and prominent
Democratic organs concede this, and the
Republicans are certain that the state is
theirs, although they frankly confess
that they have no reason torejoice when
the microscopic plurality of Harrison
over Cleveland in the state is comsid

Advices received from San Fran

The Popuiar Vote.
The election ficures show a plurality of
the popular vote for Grover Cleveland of
over 600,000,
This total is quite certain to be in
(reased by the full returns. A tidal
Wave always grows as it advances.
The democratic candidates wiil have a
big majority of all the votes cast.
”lh.r first time that this. has happened
Siee 1876, Mr. Cleveiand's plurality of
Lie popular vote of 1884 was 62,683. In
IS it was 98,017. The increase this
Yearis remarkable,

The fact that the house has « demo

advice from Alabama which convinces

SPEAKER CRISP MAY HAVE ROUGH
POLITICA L SAILING.
| A Scheme to Defeat His Re-Eloction--Many
of His Staunchest Friends Are Not Now
in Congress.
New York, Nov. 12.—The Brooklyn
Eagle’s Washington correspondent says:
“While it 1s almost certain that Speaker
Crisp will be elected to preside over the
next house, there is nevertheless some
talk of the advisability of choosing a
more ardent admirer for the office. It
is hinted that men like Wilson, of West
Virginia, the two DBreckinridges, Mec
illillam of Tennessee, Johnson, of Ohio,
'who want no half who tariff measures,
will. during the coming wintery quietly
determine the possibilities of electing
an unequivocally tariff Democrat speak
er. Should this programme be carried
out there is some likelibood of a lively
‘rnrnggno next spring before the extra
session is convenod between the old fol
lowers of Mills, on the one side, and the
present s peaker on the other. A possi
-Iblo factor in this predicted contest will
\’be the absence given the next congress
of no less than twenty members whom
Speaker Crisp honorea with committee

Last Wednesday night the democrats
of Dawson had a grand jollification in
celebration of Cleveland’s victory. The
people paraded the city with blazing
flambeanx, shot crackers, and made the
cannon roar. The city took on a vermil

While the joyous democrats were
marching around the city they sunz the
following song:
“We whipped ’em here, we whipped "em
there,
We whipped 'em all about,
We frailed ’em till we nacherly jes’ wore
the hickories out! !
We frailed ’em ou the hilltops—
We frailed 'em high and low,
So praise the Lord with one accord,
' From whom all blessings flow.”

A Sad Death.
On last Sunday, while all nature seem
ed to be breathing out a hymn of
praise and adoration to the Giver of
Life, the spirit of Preston, the little son
of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Berry, was re
leased from a suffering body and winged
its flight to that land of rest where no
g:in orsuffering ever comes. On Fw
waa stricken with hommhnzw or
employed, he rapidly grew worse and on
Sunday his sufferings ceased. Pressie
was a noble little fellow and to know him
was to love him. The sympathies of all
are extended to the sorrowing parents
in their hour of bereavement,
* ® *
THE TWO CANDIDATES.
How Mr. Cleveland Voted, and What Mr.
Harrison Says Defeated Him.
The New York World gives the follow
ing interesting account ot how Mr. Cleve.
land voted:
Mr. Cleveland has lost flesh during the
summer, and bhe never looked in beuer
trim than he did when he strolled
through Fifty-first street west towards
Sixth avenue. 'He wore the same famil
iar high hat—moved the wrong way—
which all the admirers of the ex-presi
dent know sc well, and his fizure was
tightly buttoned up in the frock coat,
which you see in all his pictures.
There was i big gathering about Keim’s
shop when Mr. Cleveland came in sight.
There ware people there who had been
waiting since the damp gray of early
morning just to catch a glimpse of him.
It was exactly at 11:31 o’clock when he
took his place in the line at the door.
There was 2 solid Indian file of voters
ahead of him, however, and he had to
wait almost half an hour before his turn
came. He waited patiently in the ranks
and edged along an inch at a time with
the rest. Somebody timed Mr. Cleve
land in'the booth, It took him six min
utes and sixteen seconds to prepare his
ball't. Colonel Nicholson handed him
the slips, and when the ex-president
came out from the little inclosure, which
looks like a dressing room at Coney Is
land beach, his ballots were iln perfect
order, the slips he wished to cast in his
right hand; those he wished to cast away
in the left.
When he steered his way through the
jam, piloted by the rfaithiul Sinclair, a
big hurrah went vp outside. During the
wai. inside the news had spread that
Grover Cleveland was prepiring his pas
ters. and the crowd which was standing
on the curb when he arrived was trebled
when he came out. i
As Sinclair opemed the door a big
cheer went up for Cleveland. There was
a hip, hip, hurrab, all wound. Mr.
Cleveland acknowlewgen th salve by{
raising his hat, and «f er tins p easant
little ovation he walked back ilhrough
Fifty-first street home again.
While Mr. Cleveland was about to go
into his booth, a fellow who had been
taking too many early arinks on an
empty stomach, ealled out in a husky
voice that Cleveland’s vote ought to be
challenged. The fellow with the drinks
on an empty stommacus was quickly got
rid of by the policeman on duty.
Mr. Cleveland went back home. The
duy wore itself monotonously away.
People conld be seen as long as light
lasted walking through Fifty-tirst stieet
and stopping opposite or in front cof No.
12 to gaze upon the windows. In the
library—the second room, front—two
wires had been placed by the Western
Union people and there Mr. Cleveland
and his friends sat till late in the morp
ing awaiting returns. Senator and “Mrs.
Carlisie, William C. Whitney, Colonel
Dan Lamont, and Mrs. Cleveland were
among the watcliers who kept vigil over
the keys.
Throughout the day and night Mr.
Cleveland kept up the calm, dignified
composure that marks him always. As
Colonel Lamont told a World reporter
the other day: ‘*He is always that way. 1
have seen him triumphant and seen him
when he was defeated. His demeanor
never varied in either extremty.”’
What Mr. Harrison Says.
President Harrison talked freely today
about the lecent defeat of his party and
the causes that brought it aboct. |
“The overwhelming defeat of the re
publican party,” he said, ‘“‘was due
mainly to the position of the party on
the tariff question. The iepublicans
had forced this issue to an extreme
which eyidently did not meet with Lhe‘
approval of the people.” |
This expression of opinion on the part
of President Harrison verifies a rumr
current here sume time ago thatic was
the party, and pot the piesident, who
took such an extreme posiiion on the
two leading issues on which the repnb
lican campaign was to be made.
There was another element, the pres
ident said, which had much to do with
the defeat of the republicans last Tues
day, and its force wus felt at the north as
well as in the south. There was a pop
} ular belief that the force bill issue kept
‘the south solid in old lines;. but in the
president’s estimation it did more than
itat, for it ovrought to the support of
the democratic ticket many votes in the
‘north.
The verdict last 'Tuesday, he con
‘tinued, could be construed in but one
‘way. It meant a condemnation of the
high tariff policy of the repullicans.
President Harrison has very decided
views as to the conduct of the campaign. ‘
He does not think very much of Chaii- |
man Carter, of the republican n:tlimml'
committee. He consented to Carter’s
appointment only when [t lecame evi
dent that a no more acceptable man could
be secured. He said the campaign had
been mismanpaged and that much. better
results would Irive been secured but for
the “rainbow chasing” schemes to
which Carter gave countenance and as
sistance.
The piesident said he realized for
some time past that the drift of pub
lic sentiment was against him and his
party, and it was this tha. jled him to
force his advice upon the pn;, leaders,
“The disregard of this advice,” the pres-

Interestieg Statistics from the Commis
sioner of Agrieultuve,
We have on our table the report of the
Commissioner of Agrioulture for the
years 1801-2, which is not only interest
ing but instructive, For the benefit of
our farming friends, we publish what
Commissioner Nesbiit has to say in his
general review on cotton.
“At no time since the war has the
price of our staple crop, eotton, been 8o
low. The low price ruling in the market
is, beyond quesiion, due to over-produc
tion. Speculation may, at times, have
depressed the market or given it an un
natural impetus, but the surpius remain
ing in the hands of the producer has been
the ruling factor in waking prices.
While crops have varied one year to
another, affected by faverable and unfa
vorable seasons, yet eompared by -de
cades, the story is one of increased acre
age and production and decreased pri
ces.”
Below we give a suceinet statement of
the crops, prices and values since 1866:
