the
United
A Revolution.
The result* of tho elections in Ohio,
Iowa and Massachusetts have t-tiUy
changed the aspect ef tbo political sky.
There was no bic.ik anywhere ia tbe
Demoeratie hue- While New York bas
tnrned to the Democrat io column with a
decisive majority, the three great Republican States of Ohio. Iowa and Massachusetts have been added to the doubtful
list forthe contest of 1892. In casting
tb* horoscope of the politioal future it wfll
not be easy to overestimate the significance
ef the electoral phenomena of the last
citation.
In Ohio aa well aB Iowa, the revolution
has been attributed by defeated partisans
to popular hostility to the Bepublican
candidates for Governor, to Prohibi km,
and to other local causes having uo relation to national issues in politics. Allow,
ing to these pleas all the weight to which
they are entitled, they are far from accounting for the results. The demerits of
Hutchiuson do not explain the probable
defeat of his associates on the State ticket,
who were personally unobjectionable to
tbe Republican voters of Iowa, nor the
narrow escape in the Legislature through
a gerrymandering appointment. Neither
does the opportunity of tbe Republican
candidate for Governor acoount for
loss of the Legislature and
States Senator of Ohio.
To those who do not choose to shut
their eyes tbere is manifest in tbis election
^y-^XSe^tsi'iie stream of political tendency
among tbe workingmen of Massachusetts
aud the farmers of Ohio and Iowa. In
all three States the Republicans entered
the campaign declaring for tbe tariff,
utterly unmindful of tbe fact that upon
the issue of Tarifi Reform a large majority
ot the people, though not of the State
electors, bad last year formed tbe policy
of President Cleveland. In Ohio especially the Republican campaign was made
upon tbe Democratic candidate's vote for
free wool in tho Fiftieth Congress * and
everywhere the attempt was made to
alarm the Ohio farmers with the cry tbat
tbe Hannibal of free trade was once more
at their gates. If local issues were concerned in defeating the Republicans in
Ohio aad Iowa, and nearly turning the
scale in Massachusetts, it was because the
Republican position upon national issues
has lost its potency.
Tbe Democrats have been taught by tbe
lesson of these elections that if they shall
remain tine to their mission of Tarifi Reform they need not despair of winning
otber Western States besiies Ohio and
Iowa, and of overcoming tbe narrow margin of their opponents of Massachusetts.
In tbe East and in the West the conviction ia tepidly growing among tbe people
that the dominant elements of the Republican party are responsible for the evils
and mischiefs that check the political
progress of the oountry and despoil the industrious masses iu tbe interest of monopolistic greed. At the same time, the people are recognising more clearly tbat tbe
Democrat to party represents economical
reforms whioh are essential to the promo
tion of tiie nation's industrial and commercial prosperity. It is the resistless
march of tbis sentiment tbat explains tbe
recent electoral phenomena in States tbat
hitherto bave been woll nigh impregnable
citadels of Republican power.
Tbere yet remaios to the Republican
leaders a supreme opportunity to arrest
the tendency of their party to desolation
and to rot-tore its prestige before tbe
oountry. This to boldly take up the
work of Taiiff Reform in the Fifty-first
Congress and push it to the successful
conclusion. In such a work, if undertaken in good faith, they wonld have the
cordial co-operation of the Democrats,
and the tariff would cease to be an issue
of politics. Bat it is more probable that
the Republican leaders will continue to
delude themselves aud each otber concerning the true siguificanoe)of the recent elections, and that they will go into toe next
Gongresss as obstinate as ever in their
hostility to Revenue Reform. Their last
chance of rehabilitating the Republican
party may be trifled away. Tbey would
then have to wait but a little while longer
to fear tbat the elections of 1888 were but
tba precursors of a popular storm in 1890
and ef an anhiliating deluge ia 1892.—
Record.
WHAT IS NEEDED.
Mr, Thnrman wrote to the Bandanna
plub of Leavenworth, Kansas, upon the
occasion of its celebrating last Wednes.
day hia seventy-sixth birthday : "It hi
now oyer sixty years since I made my
first Democratic speech, and ever since
then I have without faltering given the
best support of which I was capable to
onr noble cause. I thought it was a
good cause when I first spoke. I think
ao yet when tbe shadows of life are darkening around me, and I shall no doubt
think ao when I am called to my final
account. Allow me to congratulate you
on your brightening prospects, and to
remind you that the Democratic party is
ty)0 natural party of free institutions,
and ihat as long as liberty siiftU exist iu
America it oannot die,"
Mr. Thurman's sixty years of unselfish
and intelligent devotion to the service of
the Democratic party and the free institutions whieh he declares to be its mission to establish and protect—a devotion
—. which has loug earned for him the first
placetB-febe otvnajd^fation of the Democ
racy of the country—affords a lesson to
those who aim to become leaders of the
party, wbicb they will profit by studying.
He is an example to be copied. We
maintain that toe rank and die of tbe
Democratic party is more independent in
Its thought and more disposed to demand
and rewarc virtue in its leaders than the
party ia opposition to it has been; at
Jeast since the Jay «fheq a r-ag, tag and
foobtail of men haye le*4 tiie 'fragments; of
Dirties, and people tbat succeeded the
Whig party are the Democratic opposition; and Allen G. Thnrman is a man to
whom we point in illustration.
He has bad a life of sixty years in service to his parly and bis country, and in
all Ibis time bas done nothing dishonorable; and he is the party's priore favorite
tit this day. Had he tbe vigor of younger
years, no leader would dispute his com-
Sanc|- He has not been a self-seeker.
e has not been a suppliant supplier of
offices to hungry seeker-). He has always
been a simple, straightforward, honest
defender of tiie politioal principles tbat
he consider*, d to be sound, and au earnest
aud steady advocate of the political party
that be believed to be their true defend •
er. Who has ever heard of hies as tbe
instigator of party dissension for his aggrandizement? Thongh he has always
lived ia the most turbulent political
state in tht country and one where the
Democratic party has  been very Uly
treated by time-serving, selfish and even
corrupt men who sought to use its power,
Mr. Thurman has lived through their
machinations and survived such associations witb no one to say that he was
assoiled by them or tbat be was ever
other thau the sturdy friend of honest
political methods and the devoted servant
of the purest political truths. He bas
suffered with his party from tbe leprosy
of leaders, but he has never profited by it;
and now that old age has come to seal bis
career, it stands as a beautiful example
of tbe conduct tbat wins democratic love
and reverence; and as a warning to the
piactical politici ms of the day who
think that they can find in devious ways
of self-seeking and in envious detraction
of their oetlers, a way to establish their
lead of tho Democratic host. It eannot
be done in any such way. Tue man wLo
wants to be a Democratic leader for
more than a day must show that he
thinks more of Democratic principles
and of the Democratic party than he does
of biniseli; or we will have none of him.
As we have said it does not seem to be
ao with the opposition parly. It seems
that with it leadership may be won in
foxy and fraudulent ways, ami maintained by the distribution of plunder and the
prostitution of power. Surely Pennsylvania otherwise would uot have been so
long Republican under leaders so notoriously corrupt and unworthy; and wbo
have now come to be national leaders.
And where is there a Republican Thurman !
We are moved to say these things today because we atv evidently ou the
tbicsb-dd of a complete Democratic control of the country; and because we want
to see Pennsylvania Democrats start ont
in tlie triumphal procession. It is a possible accomplishment; but to r ach it
there needs to be more of self sacrifice
aad less of envy than the Democratic
politicians of the state havo lately sho wn
a disposition for. Evidently there is no
Democratic leader of conceded preeminence iu Pennsylvania to-day; and not a
very hopeful variety to select one from.
We wili need to get along without one
for a while, which we can do very well
in a party where the voters are the real
leaders.
We are about to nominate a candidate
for governor, and what we need to do is
to select the strongest man; and wbat
tbe politicians need to do ia to seek the
opinion of the party upon tbat question
with assiduity and to accept it with
equanimity. With a sixty thousand majority to break down, it is not probable
tbat there will be many capable candidates pressing themselves upon the party;
and there ought to be a fair chance
offered to select the very strongest man,
and to command for him harmonious
support. Wbat is needed is the surrender of ptejudice, the conquering of jealousy aud the hi ith and growth of an
earnest desire, all around to pnt the best
foot forward in a single aim for the glory
and success of the party.

Senator Blackburn is one of the most
popular, if not the most popular man, in
pnblio life, with the "boys." A littie incident that occurred here last week shows
how be obtains and how he keeps tbat
popularity. He has a friend here who is
in the foils of the law. An application
was to be made in his favor to one of the
local courts and "Joe" Blackburn, as nine
people ont of every ten people call tiie
junior Senator, was asked to join several
other lawyers in this move on behalf of
tbe prisoner. He redily consented, but at
the last minuto it was discovered that Senator Blackburn was not a member of the
local bar. He did not allow that to freeze
him out of the oase. Hot a Ut of it. Ho
had himself admitted to the bar and took
his place with the prisoner's other counsels and now the prisoner is out on bail.
This has been a great week for oor Catholic fellow citizens. First they celebrated

Senator Sherman bas returned from Ohio
In the best of humors. He finds it impossible to hide his elation over Foraker's defeat. Here's wbat he said to a newspaper
man: "We were defeated, as everybody
knows, but tbe Republican part) has been
defeated in Ohio before with tte result of
doing it good." Conld anything be plainer than that? As soon as Mr. Sherman
arrived bere be went to tte White House,
presumably to congratulate Mr. Harrisou
on the summary removal of what looked
at one time like a dangerous rival of hia
ia 1802. Doubtless President Harrison
chuckled as be thought that the Ohio
election removed two rivals iostead of one
as Mr. Sherman thinks. For just as certain as Sherman helped to remove Foraker
in 1889 will Foraker help to "down"
Sherman in 18(12. It isn't often tbat your
correspondent indulges in n-aking prtdie
tions, but this paragraph to be fully appreciated should be put away nntil tho
Summer of 1892.
President's Harrison's message is complete. It will not be printed before its
deliver; to congress, as has been tbe custom for many years past. Fearing that it
may be prematurely published President
Harrison has decided tbat unly two or
three typo-writer copies of it shall be
made for the press associations, and tbey
are to be made ia the White House and
aot given out until it ia known that tim
reading ol it has been begun at the
Capitol.
It begins to look as ii there would be no
fight over tbe speakership. Tba oaly candidate that does not appear to be afraid of
"big Tom Reed" as the Representative
from Maine is generally ealkd here, is
Representative Cannon. He tried to get
the otber candidates to join' bim iu a com
bination against Reed, but they all decline. Things may grow more exciting as
the number of members in town increases,
hut \jnless the opposition shall make a
great deal qiore showing thau it has so far

The official vote of Ohio has just been
announced and Campbell, Democrat has
10,863 majority over Foraker. Lampson
Republican has a bare 41 majority over
Marquis, Democrat for Lieutenant Governor. All tbe rest of tbe Republican
state ticket is elected by pluralities ranging from 2,763 to 4,400.
Helwig, Prohibition caudidate for Governor bad 36,504 as against 24,356 votes
last year.
Rhodes, Union labor candidate for Governor, had 1,048 votes.
Tbe total vote for Governor was 747,075
rud for Lieutenant Governor 750,179
wbich shows that 2,204 voters erased the
beads of their tickets fer Governor and
voted for no one for tbat office, and from
tho out come it looks as if tbe most of
these were Republicans.
The taxation constitutional amendment
was defeated aod so was tbe single
district amendment. The amendment entitled "Biennial elections" received 257,-
663 votes in the affirmative aud 354,215 iu
the negative but tho affirmation vote is
not a majority of all tbo votes cast at tbe
election, and according to precedent would
also fail of being carried, but tbe question
will go to the Supreme Conrt of the State,
on tbe question as to whether it takes a
majority of all the votes cast at the eleotion, or only a majority of those cast on
the amendment.
Article 1, Section 16, of Ohio's Constitution provides how amendment, shall be
proposed and adopted and altar reciting
how they shall be proposed by the Legislature and published for six months prior
to the election, &c, it then says : "If a
majority of the electors voting at such
election, shall adopt such amendment, tte
same shall become a pait of the Constitution."
It wonld seem from this that it would
take a majority of all the votes east aad
this has been the precedent in this state,
but the Republicans are after another
constitution, but when tbey get it, it wili
be a boomerang because if the Biennial
Election amendment is decided as oarried
it will give Campbell three years of tiie
governorship instead of two and also (five
the Democratic legislature 3 years instead
of two. This was the object of tte submission of tbe amendment so as to give
Foraker an extra year on his third term at
$'3000, bvt tte people vetoed his ambitions
in that direction and seut bim baok to
Cincinnati to practice law.
If it is decided that this Biennial Election
ameudmeut has carried and the present
Democratic Legislature holds for 3 yeais
tbey may take a notion to elect a Democratic successor to John Sherman in the
tf. fit. Senate as his time is out oa Maroh 4.
1803:	
As matters stand we are inclined to believe that the Repnblioan Supreme Conrt
will decide against the amendment being
carried as tbere is too much danger for
them to decide it carried; however, this
may be the Republicans iu Ohio are ripped
clear up the back by tte recent defeat of
Foraker acd the election ofa Domoc ratio
Legislature. By one fell swoop the Democrats of Ohio have elected a Governor, a
Legislature, a TJ. 8. Senator and made the
next House of Representatives at Wash-
ton Democratic.
Beside all this tho war among Republicans in Ohio makes it any one's state in
1893 because the Foraker faction, now
tbat their chief is laid on tbe shelf, are all
out for blood, aud blood they will have
and tbe tight will be to the death. Tbo
Democratic Legislature will redistrict tte
state according to the rules ot equity and
tbere is a strong probability that AIcKin-
ly, Grosvernor, Bntterworth and may be
Jobn Sherman will be foond laid on tte
shelf above Foraker before two years roll
around.
Tbis job will be hailed With delight by
the Foraker crowd and they will do wbat
tbey can to bring it about. Butterworth
bas already scented the radient and is getting ready to locate io Chicago whea bis
present term ia Congress is out.
Foraker has taken his medicine calmly
and is uot mnrmering but wben the gruel
is given to tbe other crowd of Republicans
in the future tben will come wry faces and
some talk not fonnd in orthodox prayer
books.
It is altogether a bad mix for tbe G. O.
P. hi Ohio, and shows wbat can be done
by a United States Democracy. The
thanks of the National Democracy are dne
the Ohio Democracy for this magnificent
victory ia its far-reaching effects in all Haa
states. It has demonstrated that the farmers of Ohio are not scared about free
wool as the largest sheep raising oounties
made tbe largest gains; this will toad to
all -y tbe fears of farmers of other States
for tte congressional fight of next year.
The tarifi is a tax and unnecessary t_- xa-

His Brilliant Career—Death Caused by
13 cart Disease—Held In Great Esteem
by Many Who Now Mourn HlsLoss.
Philadelphia, Nov. ■ 18.— About 11
a. tn., the wheels of justice in the local
courts were arrested, and the bar amazed
and grief stricken by tha announcement
ttat Lewis C. Cassidy was dead. Tbe
truth of the statement was at first doubted,
but inquiries .only too surely verified it.
Mr. Cassidy—who on Saturday was apparently in fair health—died at a few mitutes
after 8 tbis morning at his country residence, "Troutmere," at tbe junction of
of the county line snd Bustleton road.
Tbe fajts concerning his death are these:
For soma years he bad been a sufferer
from heart trouble, but by the exercise of
care and the avoidance of excitements tbis
affection  was kept in abeyance, and no
immediate danger was suspected ; but the
unexpected strain came in tbo illness of
son Hugh Gilbert, who has beea for qnite
a time fitting himself faff tho legal profession under  tbe sponsorship, daring the
last months of his life, of the Hon. Benja
min Harris  Brewster,  and   of  his own'
father.    Tbis  son   was  five weeks  ago
stricken witb typhoid pneumonia, and he
has for three weeks beeu hovering between
Ufe and oeaih.   To this motherless son
Mr. Cassidy devoted bimself witt all the
affection and tenderness of a nature strong
in its domestic fibre, and though all tto
resources of science were at bis command,
and all the assistance wbich wealth could
summon, be was not content unless watching at tte bedside of bis prostrate sou.
This situation, without change, was maintained for tines weeks, and on Saturday
last, when Mr. Cassidy visited his oity
office for the first timo since tbis illness
began, he showec* in a haggard countenance the result of his long unbroken vigil.
His one expressed hopo was that tte boy
might live.   He has outlived bis father,
but lies in a stage so critical ttat tt is
feared tbe untoward event this morning
must result fatally.    Mr. Cassidy's death
is at present traceable to tte old affection
of the heart, and a slight paralysis of tto
brain.    He leaves two sons ; Hugh Gilbert
and Truman, and an unmarried daughter,
Sally.    It wiB be remembered that anoth
er daughter became the wife of tte late
John Cochran, esq., a legal protege of Mr.
Cassidy's, bnt both tbe daughter and her
husband are dead.
SKETCH OF fill  Ll FE.
Mr. Cassidy was born in tbe city of New
York on tbe 17th of October, 1829. Hie
father, a native of Ireland, was a type
founder, and two or tbree years after the
birth of his son located ai Philadelphia,
then as now the leading seat of tbat industry, for the prosecution of his vocation.
Mr. Cassidy was aboat 10 years of age
when his father died, and his training and
education therefore devolved upon hia
mother. When bnt 14 years of age he
was admitted to the Central bigb school
of Philadelphia, the alma mater of many
distinguished Philadelphians, from whioh
he graduated ia 1847.
fie studied law with tbe late Benjamin
Harris Brewster, and was admitted to
piactice at the Philadelphia bar wben a
little over 20 years of age. His rise in tbe
profession was rapid, and it was not long
before he became prominent at tbat always
exceptionally able bar.
Ia 1856 he was the democratic candidate
for district attorney against Col. Wm. B.
Mann, the Whig and American candidate.
Mr. Cassidy was elected, but contest was
instituted by bis opponent, wbich finally
ended in Mr. Cassidy retaining tbe office.
- In 1872 he was elected a member of the
'constitutional couveutluu, ana waa^subsg-
quently a member of tbo board of education and the publio buildings commissioa
of Philadelphia.
Before the civil war be was a strenuous
friend of Stephen A. Douglas, and during
the progress of that struggle he earnestly
supported Mr. Lincoln.
In 1880 he appeared in this city at the
convention which sent delegates to tte
Cincinnati convention, and voted for the
nomination of General Hancock.
His next appearanoe in politics was at
the state convention in 1862, which nominated Robert E. Pattison for governor.
Mr. Pattison bad read law with Mr. Cassidy, and the latter was his warm personal
and political friend. No man did more
for the success of Pattison in that contest
than Mr. Cassidy, and he managed the
canvass with skill and adroitness.
Upon Mr. Pattison's accession to the
gubernatoral chair, be tendered the appointment of attorney-general to Mr. Cassidy, wbich was accepted. The manner
in which he conducted the duties of tbat
office is familiar to all our readers. He
made for himself a reputation which
stamped him as among the great legal
minds of the country.
As a political speaker and legal advocate be was persuasive, convincing and
eloquent, aad before the oourt he was
listened to with respect aad admiration
because of bis superior acquirements. Ia
bis perron and address he was impressive,
and iu the social relations of his life one of
the most delightful of companions.
The sudden death of so distinguished a
lawyer and so prominent a democrat cannot but make a profound impression
throughout Pennsylvania and the country.

C-tnceivable rapidity. From every city
come words of enconragoment and approval and the spirit of republicanism bas permeated Brazil in its entirety. The provinces are a unit ia support of tte incoming

■ turn being made in favor of a re-establishment of the empire, and they admit

Withont Direct Information.
Washington, Nov. 17.—tha members
oi the Brazilian legation are still without
information direct from their own country,
iu regard to the situation of affairs there
They were ia hopes of receiving some
news to-day, but none oame and their only
intelligence was derived from the press
aad from a telegram to the United States
department of state. Seoretary Blaine
said this evening that he h-L*_l^eceiv_>d only
une dispatch from Rio Janeiro, and that
simply confirmed the press dispatches. It
stated in substance tbat the army and
navy were on the side of tte insurgents;
that a provisional government had been
formed and tbat the emperor waa a prisoner in his palace.
Tbe New Cabinet.
A cabinet has been organized as follows:
President, withoat portfolio, Dondoro da
Fonseca; minister of tbe interior, Aristide
Loba ; minister of foreign affairs, Equin-
tin Bocayura; minister of finance, Doctor
Barboza ; minister of justice, Campos
Salles ; minister of war, Benjamin Constant ; minister of marine, Admiral Van-
derholtz ; minister of agriculture, Demi-
Ms Bibero.
Senbor Bocayura is a journalist. Seuhor
Barboza was a member of the chamber of
deputies. Senhor Constant is a journalist, and a professor of the polytechnic
sohool. General da Fonseca held command of tbe province of Minas Oeraes.
He was recently punished for insubordination.
Another dispatch from Rio do Janeiro
states that tbe garrison at that oity bas
formed a provisional government, oom-
ppsing Senhor Constant, a journalist named Quintiuo Bocayura and General da
Fonseca.
Brazillian securities fell 3 per cent, on
the Loudou stook exchange.
The Old Executive.
The executive branch embraced the em -
peror and the seven members of tte ministry. Assistance was given to the latter
by a council of state. The emperor exercised hia moderating power by selecting
the ministers and senators, by temporarily
withholding his signature from bills
passed by the legislature, by calling for
special sessions of tbe legislature, by dissolving the chamber of deputies, and
granting pardon and amnesties.
Dom Pedro I. wore crown of Brazil until 1831. He then resigned it in favor of
his only son, the present Dom Pedro, then
only 6 years old, wbo was not proclaimed
of age and formally intrusted witt tte
government until 1810, sinoe which time
he had ruled with prudence and liberality,
but with (disregard of administrative detail. He visited tbe United States during
oar centennial celebration ia 1876 and by
bis manly bearing and eagerness for information made a favorable impression
upon publie men. He bad encouraged
every liberal and progressive measure calculated to advance and improve bis people. Since his accession to the throne tbe
rivers of the empire had been opened to
tbe commerce of tte world. He had fostered education, aided agriculture aud assisted development in every possible field.

Why We Had N» Water.
For fonr days last week the city had
been withoat its usual supply of water
from the regular supply dams, located
about seven miles southeast of the city,
from some unaccountable cause. As
soon as the water had ceased to flow
through the pipes Supt. Oswalt and the
Board of Water Commissioners went
back aud forth over the entire line from
Lebanon to the dams, and examined
carefully tbe valves at the dams, and
failed to ascertain the cause of the stoppage. It was finally believed that a leak
existed somewhere at a place several
miles ont of town, where the pipes are
covered to the depth of 18 to 20 feet, and
on Thursday afternoon a gang of men
began uncovering the pipe in that vicinity at several places, and at one of them
a hole was bored into the pipe and the
water spouted forth at what is the general pressure. This showed tbat the
pipes were all right at that point. A
similar operation at a point a few hundred feet nearer town failed to show
signs of any water whatever, and this led
to the examination of a valve between
the two places, wliich was found to have
been shut off by someone, who, it is not
known. In a few minntes the valve was
opened and the water rushed through
the pipes as usual. The party that tampered with the valve is guilty of a very
dastardly act, and every effort will be
made to discover and punish the guilty
person or persons.

Missing.
On Tuesday morning it was noticed
that Isaiah B. Aniba, the watchman at
the Cumberland street crossing of the C.
& L. railroad, was missing. The Quittapahilla creek was within a few feet behind his watch box. The water of the
creek is very high of the frequent recent
rains and it was at once supposed that
he had probably tumbled into the creek.
A search was at once made when his hat
and coat were found a few hundred yards
down the stream. At this writing the
body has not been recovered.
He had been boarding with Oscar
Hoffman on Cumberland street. On
Monday nigbt he had a slight stroke of
appoplexy and was not feeling very well
when he went to work on Tuesday morning at 6 o'clock. He has a daughter Uv
ing in Philadelphia and two married
sons. He had at one time been living at
Hummelstown, but originally came from
Maryland. He was about 60 years old
and had but one arm aud one eye, the re-
anlt of having gone through a saw mill
mill in his younger days.
Some people think that he probably
threw hie bat and coat in the stream and
left for parts unknown, but what his object would le in doing that is hard to
tell.
Gunning Accident.
Hanover, Pa., Nov. 18.—Another
fatal gunning accident is to be recorded
to day. A young man named Kapp, residing at Hanover, Dauphin county, who
was visiting a relative near Milton
Grove, Mt. Joy township, went gunning

lz through Xience his gun \^_r accidentally discharged.
