t4 ESTABLISHED 1865. NEWBERRY, S. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMER 15, 1888.P ELECTION ECHOES. Gordon, Buck and Brown on the Defeat of Cleveland. ATLANTA, GA., Nov. S.-Gover nor Gordon says of the defeat of Cleveland: "The election of a Repub lican President would have no serious effect on our prosperity if the adminis tration is national and not sectional in spirit, and is just to all sections. If, however, any extreme measures are re sorted to, it would undoubtedly prove an immeasurable calamity to the South, and indeed to the whole country." Col. Buck, a leading Republican, says: "In my opinion, the election of Harrison will have the effect of divid ing the white and colored vote in the South in all future elections. I think the election of Harrison, however, is the best thing that ever happened to the South. This whole section, more than any other section in the Union, needs protection, and with the protection which Harrison's administration will give it, there will be the largest increase of manufactures ever recorded in this part of the Union." Senator Brown said: "I consider the defeat of Clevelandi a great misfortune, and attribute it to the reasons which were given in the Washington Post, and copied in the Constitution of to-day, in which President Cleveland himself attributes his defeat mainly to the po sition he took on the tariff question. While other causes helped to defeat, him, I think that his position on this question hurt his chances more than the rest. If he had simply called attention in his message to the enormous surplus in the-treasury, and left it to the wis dom of Congress to reduce-either by decreasing the internal revenue or the tariff, or taking some off of each-this great surplus; and if the convention at St. Louis had formulated a platform similar to the one of 1884, or reaffirmed that platform, I believe that Cleveland would have been elected by a much larger majority." Governor Brown seemed of the opin ion that if the Republicans get a major ity in the Senate and House, that they will enact laws which will give the Federal authorities in the South the power to supervise all congressional and national elections. He said: "As long as this is an issue, the only thing for the South to do is to stand to gether, united as one man. We cannot afford to divide upon any economic question, with so vital an issue at stake, 1 but should subordinate everything else to it. Whenever the right of Georgia and South Carolina to regulate their in ternal affairs is reorganized, as that of New York and Connecticut, and other of the doubtful States, then the need for a Solid South will have passed, but until then we must maintain rigidly and guard jealously the Solid South. In the meantime, we must act in accord with our Northern friends, and allow them to formulate platforms, economic questions and financial questions, on which they can afford to stand. I think the proper thing for the Demo cratic party to do was to allow the four doubtful States of the North to formu late a tariff platform on which they could stand, and to have adopted that platform, and I think no reasonable man will contradict me when I say that if this had been done the result would have been very different." THE TARIFF AGITATION DID IT. [New York World.] The country may as well make up its mind that Harrison is to be President for the next four years, and that the Democratic party has been relieved after a single term of power. Beyond question, this is the result of the issue made by Mr. Cleveland's tariff reform miessage, which eame too late or too soon. The people were-not sufficiently educated on the subject to be able to overcome prejudices and discover the fallacy of Republican arguments dur ing the heat of a Presidential camipaigli. Yet the result in the Western States will show what progress the principle of tariff reform and tax reduction has made among the masses. The tariff looms up everywhere as the trojan horse from which issued the hosts tbat overcame the party that led them into its midst. Senator Gorman says it cost Cleveland twenty thoosand votes in New York City, and nearly as many ini the State. It reduced the Democratic majority in New Jersey, and came near * costing the party the State of Connecti cut. The Republican cry of free trade versus protection answers its purpose mx the defeat of the Democrats. That the tariff lost us in New York, there is no doubt. As an instance, the defection it occasioned among the longshoremen alone more than acc:ounts for the loss of the State. The river districts of the city manifested unmusual Republican strength, and the longshoremien were led almost solidly into the Republican party. They are usually D)emocrattie, but this time could not be held. They poll a very large vote, and had ihey stood with the D)emocracy on the national, as they did on the State ticket, Cleveland would have received the electoral vote of New York, and thus been re-elected. There are many other such inst-ances which demionstra.te be vond a doubt that the D)emiocracy owes its losses to the inopportune spriniginmg of the tariff questi(u. THE DEMoCRATIC D,EFEAT-C3)RAGE. [ New York Sun.] When a p)arty deliberately buries out of sight the principle on which it was founded, and of which it has been for a' century the custodian and trustee; when it sends sonie of its best men to the rear, and surrenders the manage ment of its affairs to a syndicate of racked intellects and theorist-entLhusi astists with just enongh shrewdness to half disguise their ultimate purpose; when it abandons polities, in the same sense, and makes itself an engine for the propagation of a theory-in short, when it goes in for an educational can vass, somebody is bound to be educated. That is what happened yesterday. The great mass of the Democracy, sound to the core, loyal as ever to the essential and eternal truths of its creed, hopeful even in defeat, and courageous and unshaken this dismal November morning, is the victim of the educa tional campaign. It has been educated with a vengeance, and at a tremendous cost. It has learned its lesson, and is not likely to forget the same. For ourselves, we have done what we could to check the folly of the past twelve months. We have seen very clearly the event to which it tended. In good faith and with a single view 1o the party's interests, we have incurred some of the peculiar gratitude that is the reward of the friend who speaks the truth, of the counsellor who had rather be misunderstood than mislead. That is all right. That was to be ex pected, and it was expected. But it seems to us that we have earned the privilege of speaking plain words this morning. But there is no need that the plain words should be bitter; nor is it time just yet to write the list of the archi tects of disaster. The Democratic party's face is toward the future, and its watchwords are Courage and Hope ! TAMMANY WAS TRUE. [Augusta Chronicle.] There is no regret felt over the coni plete victory won by Tammany Hall in New York City, when we remember the handsome majority given Cleve land there. The "kid glove" element, ts the niugwumps in Brooklyn were ralled, refused to vote for the President this year, but the straight-ont, dyed in the wool Democrats in New York gave President Cleveland a backing such that nothing except a tidal wave from interior New York could have over some. Tammany has elected its Gov ,rnor, Mayor, Congressman, and city md county officers throughout. All :he New York papers, mugwumps in luded, concede that Tammany pulled traight and toted fair. Kings County, New York, Did it. NEW YORK, November 8.-After all he returns are in the responsibility for he defeat of President Cleveland un oubtedly lies with Kings county. The Evening World says: "The Democratic managers had very reason to believe that a Demo ;'atic stronghold, such as Kings coun :y has been in the past, could not do my less than give an increased plurali ;y for the candidate of the party, es >ecially when an enormous increase .n the registration of the county indi ~ated what the growth in population had been during the past four years. Why it should have failed to do this is m question which is being asked upon mll sides; and although the views of representative mer in both parties b.ave been canvassed they do not fully explain the cause of the defeat. The 3ry of fraud has been raised; the trad ing of Presidential candidates to keep he local ticket in various quarters, and ~he treachery of local Democratic eaders to their party, have been all ~uggested to account for the unexpected esult. "But while they may have contrib ated to bririg it about, it isjelaimed that roue of these causes, or all of themi to ;ether, could have been sufficient to reduce tile plurality' given Cleveland in 884 to the figures in the present con best. It is also generally conceded :hat tile contest between the McLaugh tin and Kane forces over the county tiket could not have resulted through trading, or other means, in depriving Lleveland of the 8,000 or 10,000O addi tional votes., wvhich he should have polled la 4t .Tuesday. Thle or ly way in which this was accomplished was by the free use of boodle on the part of the Republican managers. "Careful investigations have been rade during the past two days and tlegaiions are now made that the Re publicans bought up Brooklyn voters by wholesale long before election day, tId that they were active in the dis tribution of boodle up to the very hour when the polls closed. Nothing was eft undone and money in the hands of secret agents was u nlimit ed. "It is said that several weeks before elect ion over 2,000) votes had already beenl purchased, and that a large numi ber of these were among naturalized Italians in the Fourteenth WVard. On election (day the Italian voters of that listrict were marshlalled in squads of twenty-five to fifty at the polling places and thleir votes wenlt.for the Re [ublicau candidates. This raid on the polls was so unexpected that the D)emo -rats were entirely unprepared for it, end no one knew what it meant until after the vote had been counted and the result announced.'

The Pr:sident Takes a Common Sense I view of things, and Says there is Plenty of Time to Consider his Future Ac tions. [ N Ew YouK, November S.-A corres pondent of the Herald asked the Presi dent for his views on the result of the a election. Mr. Cleveland said: "You desire to learn, you say. to what cause I attribute our loss of N'w York. I answered frankly that I dont know, I should say"-and the president laughed quietly-"that it was mainly because 0 the other party had the most votes. Your remark '-when you first entered the room indicates that you regard me as indifference to the result. I am not a indifferent. I look upon the situation from a practical and common sense a standpoint. It is not a personal mat ter. It is not proper to speak of it, either, as my victory or as my defeat. a It was a contest between two great a parties, battling for the supremacy of v certain well-defined principles. One party has.won and the other has lost that is all there is to it.'' "Do you think, Mr. President, that it Hill acted in good faith toward you?" V The President laid down a bundle of. papers he had been holding in his hand, V and with more earnestness than he had a previously displayed, said: "I have not the slightest doubt of Governor Hill's absolute good faith and honesty in the canvass. Nothing has ever occurred to interrrupt our kindly t relations since we ran on the ticket together as governor and lieutenant g'vernor." "I would like to inquire, Mr. Presi dent, how Mrs. Cleveland bears your a defeat?" "Oh, she feels about it just as I do. r You know the defeat brings its coin pen- t: sations. We shall now b,,:e some time to ourselves, and can live more as ^ther I, folks do." "Shall you continue your residence a at Oak View, or return to Buffalo?" t "I haven't give that subject a thought; nor shall I for the present. n There is no hurry about it.

U N1w YoRZ:, November 8.-The im pression on Wall street is very strong that there is a big deal in prospect in which the Baltimore and Ohio railroad mnd Richmond Terminal Company are the central figures. Rumors of this kind tl have been in the air for some time. At first the reports were that the Rich- a nond Terminal had concluded to buy . the controlling interest, or the Garrett u interest, in the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. ft John H. Inman, president of the Richmond Terminal, said that there n was no truth in the stories afloat. Ed ward F. Lauterbach, of the Richmond4 Terminal board of directors, confirmed " Inman's statement, but he admitted that it might be possible that a traffic . agreement betwveen the two companies might some day be made. The rumors took wider range, and the report was that Aust in Corbin wasP considering a plan whereby the Read ing, Jersey Central, Baltimore and Ohio, Richmond Terminal, and Ohio,t Indiana and Western railroads might be brought into closer relationship, ifP not actually under one management. Under this plan, as formjulated, the Reading is to buy the Garret interest, a andl thus the control of the Baltimore and Ohio, and wvas to issue collateral trust bonds.t Mr. Corb,in is at p)resent in Philadel phiaand nothing could be learned in hio absence.at his office.

('orrerpondence Yorkville Enquirer.] BLACK's, November 5.-Scenes of fe and activity, the like of which this ction has never before experienced, re now transpiring in and around lack's. The whole population is in igh spirits over the prospective revival f the iron industry, and while there is o undue excitement, the atmosphere f an-infant Birmingham is undoubted thickening. The Magnetic Iron and Steel Ore flining Company, composed of Atlanta, irninghlam and New York capitalists, rd a few gentlemen of this place, have died out the old miners and colliers to gain uncover the rich lodes of mnag etic iron ore in which this section I)ounlds. The company has leased n:d purchased about ten thousand cres of what are thought to be the most aluable iron lands in York, Spartan urg and Union counties, includin, early all of the property once owned v the King's Mountaiu Iron company i Cherokee township. Forces of pros ectors have been at work on the pro erty for the past three or four week, -ith a view of locating the most valu ble lodes and ascertaining their extent everal excavations that were nade by ifferent companies operating here be )re the war, have been uncovered, and large force is now engaged in cutting irough a rich lode recently discovered y Col. John L. Black, and which is kely to prove the most extensive and aluable that has ever been developed ithis section. This lode is situated bout four miles southwest of Black's -ithin a quarter of a lmile from Broad .ver, and not more than twice that dis mnce from the Air Line rai!r.ad. Two r three analyses of the ore have recent been rmade by Dr. Pratt, of Atlanta, nd although your correspondent is un ble to learn the result,' the fact that te mining operations continue with ubated energy goes to show that it is ot satisfactorv. The immt(ciate ob et of the present investigations, how v'er, being to determine whether or ot the o1s will justify shipment to ittsburg, and other furnaces, it is ecessary to proceed with great eau on, It is hoped and believed that the iagnetic iron ores of Black's will cont are favorably with any in the world. hould this belief prove to be correct, :>-r correspondenL is informed that ie output of the mines can he more rofitably shipped to different furnaces ready in operation than they can be ,duced on the spot on account of the ifficulty in securing the necessary )al. However, whene the Three C's ilfills its promise in furnishing coal at 'or $2.50 to y3.00 per ton, the establish tent of furnaces at this place is assured hough it is barely possible that these res many fail to conme up to the exact rg expectations of their owners as to ieir per cent, of mnetalic iron, their igh grade has long since been estab' shed. By a careful test made in the Vashi ngton navy yard, in 1.4, the roducet of these ores proved to be su erior to the finest then known. Col. John L. Black, originator of thre resent enterprise and managing diree >r of the company, anrd Prof. N. P. 'ratt. a mining engineer of wide ex erience, are in charge of the prospect ig forces. Several difrerenit varieties of iron ore ce found in this. vicinity. It is the ragnetic oxides, steel ores, however, rat are now receiving thre miost atten on.

But it was in t rv his humble home where he received a r n- training which undoubtedly shaped v, its his future course and contributed large-i 1ly to his success. His best teacher was he a Christian mother, of whom he once l rf said: y, "Her smile w::s like a bit of heaven, r cc and it never faded out of her face to is her dying day." (d Passing his Miamimiotli I)epot, with o si- its walls of brick enclosing fourteen v ig acres of floors, crowded with goods, one h id wonders whether Mr.Wananiaker ever o Lre thinks of the time when he, a little to scioolboy, t'irned five hundred bricks a ed to dry them in the sun before going to li ut school. For this labor he received two e ly Cents a day, a very small fraction of his s :)n profits now, which exceed a million >w dollars a year. Later on, he advanced t ig from the position of turning bricks to c og that of clerking in a book store, at a t; dollar and a quarter a week; and to v e, earn this sumi he walked eight miles a f be day. Now he sells from his own shelves s 'id more books than any other retail store a ve in America. Still later on he increased e t. his weekly income to a dollar and a t n- half by securing a position as salesman v .p- in a clothing store. 'er In 1857, Mr. Wanamaker was em it. ployed in Barclay Lippincott's cloth ing store at Fourth and Market streets. a He soon left this position and engaged e 5 with Mr. Bennett, of "Tower Hall." iJ et After two years of service at Tower 0 of Hall, Mr. Wananaker accepted the po- t id sition of secretury of the Young Men's l( ?1n Christian Association. His father,who c d. was a brickniaker, now prevailed upon n ie- him to engage in the brick-making T It, business. He soon grew tired of the r 1.6 dull monotony of brick-making, and, C a- forming a co-partnership with his r aid brother-in-law, Nathan Brown, they t 'R opened the well-known "Oak Hall," a ,er April 8, 1861. It was now that Mr. ite Wanamaker found use for his great ex 2 ecutive ability. One of the first orders 1 'P- which the new firm filled was the t all equipment of the custom house guard. I an When the suits were finished, they e ch were packed on a wheelbarrow, and he Mr. Wannainaker .and two of his as T's sistants took their turns in pushing the he goods around for delivery. After the ,er goods were delivered, Mr. Wanamaker 11- went direct to the office of the Phila ,re delphia Inquirer,and invested the prof ' its, 38, in an advertisement. lie It was predicted that the young firm could not exist, and idle rumor was eoften on the street circulating the re 1-port of failure, to the great delight of ~ the "I-told-you-so's, h re vr r-rayto shake their heads, an dlook ~ knowing and happy over the verifica he tion of their predictions. But the firm ~ u-struggled bravely on, surmounted all ye difficulties, and in a little while the ~ small one and a half-story shop gave ve place te the large and commodious lbuild ing, an ov-er-grown "Oak Hall," ~ .' Busines grew steadily, and, unlike t ut the boy who grows too large for his ~ he suit, the "suits" grew too large for ~ Ls "Oak Hall," and the enterp)rising firm 1 resecured the large and handsome build- C -ings S'8 and 820 Chestnut street. Still' els it the business grew. An honest suit for honest monley brought the trade. ~ Goods marked in plain figures, wool called wool, cotton called cotton, and ~ te if you were not mitdl when yo gt home, return the suit and get your 1,money back, were the prInciples of aright dealing, and business was bound ntorwisptofcroakers. 100 In 187.5, Mr. Wanamaker p)urc-hased the depot at Thirteenth and Market. is There, to-day, we find fourteen acres of floors crowded, packed, squeezed, with goods of aill descript ions, the vast display looking like an exposition of a world's p)roducfts. Even this immense is building seems too small, as it is being I ed continually enlarged and imp)roved. he Rece'ntly he added to his business two w~ellI-kn:own wholesale houses--Riegel, ry iSeott & Co., and Hood, Bonbright&Co., edl the lattcr the largcst dry goods' house ye in Phliladelphiia., doing a business of ite about nine millions a y-ear. Either of ers these houses would keel) the average ute mian busy in (condultcting.

For their be-nefit he estab is. lished an - -Insurance Association," ' cea whic:h pays 5 per week to the sick,t :>tt and in case of death $100) is allowed. In -ill the establishment there is a free' library in for ladies, and at Broad and Brown iut streets lhe has built a hotel for the< ladies in hisemploy. The hotel is fitted the most home-iike manner, with omfortable furniture, music room, ath room, swimming bath, etc., while he rules are those which govern well egulated families. Quite recently Mr. Wananiaker div' ed over $100,000 among those of his mnployes who hlad been with him even years or more. The amount was certain per centage of his profits for he year. This surprise to his em loyes was the initiatory of a system hereby the employes will participate a division of profits each year. This evidence of the sincerity of the ind feelings he has for his people is in iarked contrast to the Pittsburg iron ierchaint's action a few mon'ths ago. Vhen his enpioyes asked for a slight zcrease of wages, which were marvel usly low, this man closed his iron torks. alt hough he acknowledged that is profits were one and a half million f dollars for the year. "I can work better for a whole week fter a pleasant 'Good morning' from im," said one of Mr. Wanamaker's niployes. He is never too much ib )rbed with business to emit the leasant 'Good morning,' nor too busy stop to give friendly words of en Duragement as he hurriedly passes irough the great store, visiting the arious departments. His frank, youth il face, with blue eyes lighting sunny miles, the warm grasp of his hand, nd the persuasive, kindly voice, wins very one with whom he comes in con ict, and cause the wish that there rere more John Wanamakers in. the -orld. He is deeply interested in the youth. le ' 'd to the writer, on one occasion, thea in the presence of a large audi nee of young people, "I love to look ato the bright faces of boys and girls, f young men and women, and think of Lie possibilities before them, and' I ewe to give them a helpful word of en ouragement as they are passing. into - 3anhood and womanhood, where they - aust meet trials and difficulties which equire such strong resolves to over ome." He often says, after the busi ess is over for the day, "The best hing I have had to-day wasa talk with poor boy." And so this geat-souled, successful usmess man goes through life earning* onest dollars by the milliogs, andwith - hem and a heart that goes out to hu aanity he is making others happy,and arning for himself a rich reward. in response to the request for a few rords relating to his biography,. Vanamaker replied, "Thinking, try ag, toiling and trusting in God is all f my biography." A WASHINGTON CENTENNIAL 'he Hundreth Anniversary of His Inaug aration to be Celebrated.
