Mr. Cleveland would rather hunt ducks than be hunted by ofiice-Beekers. From Buzzard's bay to Ho island is not a "far cry." Disconsolate Democrats may bo happy now that they know where Cleveland in at. Mr. Btnum is reported both in favor and against nn extra session.

This fact undoubtedly accounts for the diversity of opinion up and down the country. Those papers when assumed ten days ago that there is a treasury deficiency bave consulted Secretary Foster, and havo come to the opposite conclusion. It must disgust the Prohibition managers in New York when they examine the returns and find that their vote was not necessary to give the State to Mr. Cleveland. "Snolligoster" is a word which has appeared in the newspapers since the election.

It means a man who wants an office he is in no way qualified to fill. Ha is very numerous in Indiana since Nov. 8. WniLE thousands of Democrats will be filled with rase because Mr. Cleveland has withdrawn himself from them in so insulting a manner, David Bennett Hill will rub his hands with extreme satisfaction.

That seems a very food suggestion of the cavalry veteran in this city regarding the soldiers' tombstones smeared with paint, namely, that they be left as they are to bear witness to the survival of the malignity of copperheadism. A Washington' telegram states that the rebuff which Mr. Cleveland has administered office-seekers has had very much the same effect upon the brigade collected in that city thata well-directed stone would have upon a hornets' nest in August. The Mnncie Herald says: "The Indianapolis Journal seems to be thinking seriously of fighting the war all over again." This is the Democratic way of condemning any allusion to the desecration of soldiers' graves, and, indirectly, of justifying the outrage. The resolutions finally adopted by the Knights of Labor at St.

Louis are, for the most part, sensible and progressive. Their declaration against the repeal of the tax on tho issues of State banks is an intelligent protest against tho authorizing of a currency which would bring loss to the masses. Their declaration in favor of making the ability to read after five years a qualification for voting is-another progressive opinion which stamps the body which has mado It as one of intelligence and patriotic purpose. All in all, the session has left a record which will commend it to the respect of intelligent people. The local authorities in the several counties where soldiers' graves and tombstones have been desecrated since tho recent election should spare no effort nor reasonable expense to bring the perpetrators to justice.

The penalty for the offense, a fine not less than $59 nor more than $5C0, and imprisonment in tho county jail not more than six months, is too light, but the public disgrace that would attend a conviction would add materially to tho weight of the punishment. Let the cowardly copperheads who havo chosen this despicable mode of celebrating their recent victory be dragged to tho light and held up for the execration of all decent rhen. A Democratic paper risus to declare that pig-iron can be made us cheaply in this country as in England. Perhaps so in the South, where tho materials are of easy access and where the labor is not less than 25 per cent, cheaper than it is at tho pig-iron furnaces in the North. Much coal is mined by tho cheapest convict labor, and colored men, who are chiefly employed in the pig-iron indns-try, are compelled to take whatever wages are offurod them.

Deprived of the power cf the ballot, they have lost the power of full citizenship to resist wrong. To-day the cheap colored labor in the iron industry of the South is the menace of other labor in the samo and kindred industries of the North. The Republican party cannot hope to be successful in future campaigns un less it adopts some different and better means of reaching and convincing tho masses of the people than it has been using In recent years. Dig meetings, street parades and clubs that charge an initiation fee do not make any votes. Republican newspapers do not reach the masses of Democratic voters.

Campaign literature is largoly thrown away. The future plan of campaign, if it is to be successful, must embrace a personal nropagandet a house-to-houso campaign a personal visitation that will drop Republican seed right where they are needed, and whero they will take root. Why have so many thousands of voters become convinced that the Republican party in "the rich man's party," and that under its administration of the government "the rich have grown richer and the poor poorer!" Largely because proper efforts have not been made to inform them of the true principles and policy of the party, and. not being supplied with tho truth, they have been filled up with lies. Tho problem for the wise men of the Republican party to face and solve, is how to educate tho mass of voters.

For many years past they havo been educated backwards. DETECTS OF BALLOT LAWS. Massachusetts was' the first State to adopt the Australian ballot system, which it did, pure and simple, in 1633. Consequently, with annual elections, the election of this year was tho fifth State election in which tho system has been in force. municipal elections in that State, its voters have had at least eight elections in which to become familiar with tho system.

Nevertheless, in spite of this practice, more than 10,000 voters' practically deprived themselves of expressing their choico for Governor and tho Democratic candidate has been elected. In Massachusetts the original Australian system is in force; that is, all tho candidates for one ofiice are grouped alphabetically without any letter or word to show to which party they belong. Therefore to vote in Massachusetts, under the Australian law, tho voter must be able to read his ballot and to know the party candidates. A dispatch in yesterday's paper tells how it hnppenod that more than 10,000 Republicans lost their votes. Mr.

Ilaile was tho Republican candidate for Governor, and Wolcott Hamlin the candidate of the Prohibitionists. Roger Wolcott was the Republican candidate for Lieutenant-governor. Under the law, the voter is required to make a cross against the name of every person for whom he votes. Seeing the name of 'Wolcott" next under that of Ilaile, more than ten thousand voters put crosses against the names of two candidates for Governor and thns disfranchised themselves. Their' intent was evident, for the reason that they did not place the mark against Mr.

Wolcott'snarnein the proper place. Nevertheless, while it is perfectly evident that these ten thousand voters intended to vote for Mr. Haile for Governor and Mr. Wolcott for Lieutenant-governor, their mistake will make a candidate Governor who received the suffrages of at least eight thousand less voters than did the man who will be declared not elected. In this State, tho law has been twisted, in many instances, to defeat the will of the people.

A Democratic inspector indiscreetly declared the Democratic policy in Indiana when he said, pending the counting: "All questions about ballots will be decided in favor of the Demociatio ticket." It is not an aftor-election howl, but tho deliberate judgment of Republicans who have the facts before them, that ten thousand ballots were thrown out in Indiana as defective, of which at least seven thousand were Republican. In Massachusetts the strict observance of the letter of the law makes a man Governor for whom eight thousand less citizens voted than voted for the man defeated. Some general remedy must be devised for this evil, or else popular government in the North will cease to exist, as it has in the South. The secret ballot laws must provide a tribunal composed of men representing all parties, to whom the ballots now rejected shall be referred for counting upon some general rule that, unless tho distinguishing marks aro greater than those male by tho clumsy ink-dauber, the ballot shall bo counted, and that all ballots shall be counted according as a majority of the tribunal determine by the marking was tho intent of the voter. The system should be perfected upon tho idea of insuring a free expression of the popular will.

A BLOW IN THE FACE. The Chicago Herald has the courage to say what it, as a fearless Democratic paper, thinks of the conduct of Mr. Cleveland in giving out that he will not see his party friends and going to an island where ho cannot be reached. Elsewhere the Herald's opinion is quoted. It is very plain talk, but it is not too plain.

Mr. Cleveland has not been at work during the campaign, as have his friends, who have not put off the harness since they began to struggle for his nomination during the first months of the year. Having accepted their services, having permitted them to spend their money and time in his behalf, they have a right to boo the man whom they have re-made and to express to him their wishes. Any man with any sense of gratitudo would, at least, accord to hundreds of such men a civil hearing. Instead, ho has gone to a romoto place, twenty-five miles from a railroad and eight miles from the mainland, to which there is no public conveyance, and practically proclaims to the world: "I will not be annoyed by these people, therefore I put myself beyond their reach." He has also given out that be will not heed any written communications sent him.

He has assumed the same attitude of distrust and annoyance which he put on toward Mr. Hendricks and his party leaders after the election in IS 54, only that ho has this timo emphasized that distrust, while what appeared to be annoyance then is contempt now. It is the same lack of confidence in local Democratic leaders which led him, in to ask the opinion of two Republican Senators, giving as hi reason for asking that ho could not bo-lieve those speaking for tho Democracy. During tho first months of his first term Mr. Cleveland afforded tho mugwumps great delight, and doubtless his withdrawal from tho men who have made him Preaidont again will give that exclusive clement much pleasure, and will call forth their approbation.

It may bo the better course for Mr. Cleveland to pursue, but it places hirn jo, a most un- enviable light, and it is a blow kx the faco of hundreds of men to whom he and his party owe present success. KO TARIFF COMMIBSIOff. The latest suggestion of Democratic cowardice is for the oppointment.pf a tariff commission to investigate and report for the action of Congress. This savors about as much of imbecility as of cowardice.

The tarifl question has been under discussion for many years. There has been ono tariff commission, and the subject has boen before many ways and means committees. It has been thoroughly ventilated by the press and carefully considered by tho people. No commission can throw any additional light on tho principles or theory of tariff legislation. Therefore, we repeat tho proposition for the appointment of a commission to investigate tho subject is imbecile as well as -j What is needed i3 a practical test and trial of the Democratic doctrine of free trade or tariff for revenue only.

The peoplo have had a twenty-five years' trial of protection, and it is universally conceded that the country has prospered and made great progress under it. In a spirit of unrest or discontent, and with the aid of the solid South and the ignorance of Northern cities they have docided in favor of a change and havo put tho Democratic party in power under a promiso and pledge that it would repeal the McKinley bill and put in practical operation the doctrine on which they carried tho election. Now let them keep faith with the people. Let them fulfill their promises and pledges or stand before the country branded as campaign liars and tricksters. No tariff commission.

To the average American this seems incredible, and yet upon reflection it is not unnatural.

Tho simple-minded maiden had never seen or hoard of a black person, and perhaps her religion as well as her imagination led her to associate such a being with the devil. Great allowanco must be made for educatiou und environments. When Columbus first landed on tho West India islands the 'inhabitants, who had never seen or heard of a white man, at liret ran away in terror and afterwards cere ready to worship them as superior bejngs. The same thing has sometimes happened to white travelers in Africa. There are parts of Europo where negro would be regarded as a wonderful curiosity and foi-lowed by gaping crowds of young and old.

These things are largely a matter ot custom. By the way, by what authority. does popular superstition regard tho devil blackT Ox tho morning of the election an Irishman- came to a certain house to do some work. The lady of the house, a Republican, said: "Well. Mr.

The Great Contest Witnessed by 10,000 Peo-v pie How the Crowd Acted. URRAH FOR PUR-due! It was her day, and one of great rejoicing, and at eventide the ringing notes of victory wereheard all over tbe city.

Nowhere is there more pent-up enthusiasm ready to let loose at tbe first sign of an advantage than in the modern collegian, lie is a partisan to the very core, and yesterday his number was legion? casting into a dense shadow everything else of passing note. Great preparations were made for yesterday's inter-collegiate match between the DePauw and Purdue elevens, and everybody seemed to be imbued with the spirit of the hour. As the years go by the coming great Ameri can sport, foot-ball, is twining itself moro aud moro about the hearts of tbe people, and the time has come when a game of any consequenco Is suro to bring together great crotrds of people composed of the very cream of society. This is no doubt attributable to tho fact that there is nothing mercenary about the game; that instead of being controlled by a great corporation it is in the hundh of the college athletio associations, which are neither actuated by a spirit of gain nor greed. Very early yesterday morning tbe college colors began to wave on the streets, and the morning trains from tho various college towns in the State brought to the city hundreds of students, divided almost equally in their partisanship between the contesting elevens.

Purdue's contingent was both large and enthusiastic. It numbered scores of beautiful young ladies.who wore the colors, old gold and black, and who were as zealously anxious that their team should add another to its nnbroken list of victories as were their most partisan fellow-students of the opposite sex-DePanw's contingent was not less large, if less enthusiastic, and it also had a foil quota cf young ladies, whose interest in tho coming contest was something aborbing. The yellow ribbon, DePanw's color, was conspicuously displayed. During the morning the hotels began to till up with tbe great array of beauty, brawn and muscle, drawn from the various institutions of learning in the State, and about the corridors and in the parlors everything was permeated with life, activity and expectancy. And it is only fair to say that tbe latter ingredient waa apparent in larger quantities than any other.

If Purdue should win it would be bnt adding another to a long list ot viotories unbroken by defeat. If DePauw should win it would be a great feather in her cap, as tho odds, not only in other matters, but in the sentiment of the people, were against her. This latter grew out of a feeling that Purdue had the winning team. THEY STAKTKD EARLY. As early as 12 o'clock preparations were begnn to get to the fair grounds, and in a few minutes tallyho coaches and omnibuses were being hastily driven about town, these vehicles being used to carry tbe players.

At o'clock tbe first electric train left the city for tbe football Held aud tbe three cars were crowded. From that timo until 2:30 train after train left the city carrying their enthnsiastio human burden, and it was not long until the great, gloomy grand-stand had been transformed into a sea of humanity and of waving colors. The street-car facilities were fairly good and the management estimates the crowd carried to the fair gronnds at from eight to ten thousand people. Fully ono thousand people drove to the field in carriages and. altogether, a fair estimate of the crowd in 10.000.

Tbe day wa an ideal one for the players and a chilly one for tbe multitude. Enthusiasm, like vegetation, is some time susceptible to fact, nnd it is not Strange that yesterday hundreds of people looked on and suffered io silence, vainly trying to convinco them-selvcit that they were having a good time. But there were other hundred who seemed to care naught for tbe wintrr blast, and who, by the successive stamping of their pedal extremities and an occaaional yell, kept their enthusiasm up to the average heat. Although as stated the air was chilly the sun ahoue hrightly. and looking out upon tbe field ono coold easily imagine without any great strain on the elasticity ot that function that it was a summer day and a sport of peculiarly tropical tendencies.

This idea was encouraged, too, when some player, afti a long run serosa tbe held, mopped the perspiration from his brow. The grounds had not been put in perfect condition when the first spectators arrived ut 1 o'clock. Workmen were still engaged iu clearing away the debris and cutting on tbe finishing touches. The track bad been doubled in front of tho grand-ntand. and tbe timely removal of the judges' stand famished an unobstructed view of tbe players field.

'TWAS A rUJt DUE CKOWD. The spectators first on the ground formed distinctively a Purdue gathering, and they were not slow in allowing their preferences to become known. Those in the grandstand yelled and it was're-echoed from the field, where a cumber of students had gathered. The crowds once started came as fsit as the electno trains three minutes apart could carry them, and by 2.2J. when the Purdue eleven appeared on the field, there were fully 8.000 spectatorc.

Tbe carriage space was well taken np, and one vehiclo in particular attracted attention. It appeared on tho cene at 2 o'clock, and was filled with ladies. The vehicle was bedecked with black and gold, and the black horses took on an odder gaiety because of tbe gold streamers tiyiug from the harness. Tbe blowing of a born nnd the waving of a banner announced that another Purdue contingent had arrived, and a yell went up from the grand-stand that shook tto rafters. The crowd was conservative in its deportment, a fact probably owing to tho class of people that ccmpoied.it.

The front boxes were mainly occupied by student parties from out of town, and their interest in the game, despite weather con iderations. was unriaaging. Whenever a brilliant play was made tbe friends of tho side making it gave vociteroas lung encouragement, but there was not apparent the pushiug. surging spirit that sometimes characterizes gatherings of the kind. The crowd on tbe gronnd outside the confines of the field numbered about two thousand, and it was from this no urea that tbe greatest amount of enthusiasm was displayed.

It was here, also, that the major part of the betting was done. Of course the wagers on the reult of the game were in Purdue's favor, but many Purdue enthusiasts lost money by being over-sanguine. Many bets were made that DePauw would not score, whioh were lost. It is thought that in this way the exchange of money evened up fairly weli. PRESIDENT SMART'S INTEREST.

On tbe field, close by the players, following their every movement thoughout tho game, was a man who attracted consider- able attention, lie was President Smart, of Purdue University, who came down with tho Lafayette contingent. He took an unusually spirited interest In the game and displayed a partisanship worthy of one of the players. About tho only nnpleasant feature of the day was 'the over-zealous-ness displayed by a police otlicer who was stationed inside tbe field. This was Sergeant Laporte, who has not yet been tried bv the Board of Publio Safety on a charge of conduct unbecoming an officer on tbe occasion of the Columbian day Yesterday there were several newspaper men on the hold whose business called them there, and it waa to them in particular that LaPorte displayed his authority ofleusively. One reporier was thrown np against the barb-wire fence by the otlicer, and bis clothes were torn, while another was made to feel his insignificance alongside "oue of the The spirit of tbe crowd seemed to be about the same throughout tbe game.

Every once In awhile from the grand-stand came the collsgo yell: Purdue! rah-rah! Purdue! rah-rah! Hooray! Hooray! Bully for old Purdue. And when DePauw. by good generalship, scored a touch-down, from the grand-stand came the yell: D. P. Panwt D.

P. Pauw! We are the people From old DePauw. The advent of the two teams on to tbe field foreshadowed tho result of tho game. Purdue was received as the favorite and, although the DePauw men looked big and strong, from the start there was apparent an overwhelming sentiment thatthey were not "in it." And they were not.
