A lthough the frantic and f u tile kick- 1 pirat] in this county, since the restraining meshes of the Supreme Court have en circled tliem, is calculated to excite amusement rather than apprehension, yet there are in the situation, since election is over, some features and facts worthy of sober consideration. With a zeal worthy of a better cause, and a desperation characteristic of a failing and lost cause, the Courhr and its editor continue to “kick against the pricks,” not only of public condemna tion at home, but of the Supreme Court fiat as well, and in a long and studied philippic, attempt in the last issue of that piratical organ, to further befog the political atmosphere in this county. They seek to sliift tlie onus for mis management and consequent disaster liere, upon those who are conspicuous in opposition to the managers and means whicli have brought the party into this distraction and disgrace. The principal target for the venom of the pirates’ or gan is therefore Mr. Patterson.

BY PROP. R. H. THURSTON OF CORNELL UNIVERSITY. I am a Proteclionisl because I can see very clearly that the political independ ence which every patriot would sacrifice his life to preserve to his country only be safely assured when we are in- dustrially independent, and I am glad, i f it requires that lesser sacrifice, to fore go a few pennies o f my savings to-do my part to secure that assurance. la m a Proteclionisl because I can see, 1 think with equal clearness, that the greater the diversification o f our indus tries, the greater the prosperity of people. I am a Proteclionisl because it seems to me evident that a carefully arranged Tariff—arranged, I should say, by a special commission of honest, disinter ested and wise men—must be kept up to preserve us Jrom industrial crises and disturbances due to foreign industrial changes and crises. la m a Protectionist because I think that, ultimately, we shall insure the most uniform, moderate and salisjaclory mar kets when (he manufacturing and the agricuitural classes are most thoroughly intermingled, so that we shall have minimum expenditure for Iranspoiialion and maximum labor applied in actual production. I am a Protectionist because I find my views confirmed by the practice oj the whole world, with the single exception o f Oreat Britain, where I see that the prin ciples just enunciated are violated by i„g aud intriguing of Andrews and IMon- EXCESS OF PRODUCTIVE CAPAV- gin, in devising ways and means/iow IT Y IN MANUFAGTUllEA, and nat urally, to relieve her people from thdr difficulties, open markets and Free- Trade must he sought by that nation.

E jh ’ERO k W illia m has sent to Bis marck a peremptory order not to reveal any State secrets that he may be in possession of. T h e MoCarthyites won the Cork election last Friday, and are highly jubilant. The Pamellite candidate was John E. Redmond, late member of P ar liam e n t fo r N o rtli AVexford, who re signed the latter seat to contest Cork city. Mr. Redmond is now the acknowl edged successor of Mr. Parnell in the leadership of that wing of tlie Irish party. The McCarthyite candidate was Martin Flavin, a butter merchant of Cork. When the votes had been counted it was found that Flavin had received 8,669 and Redmond 2,167, while Sars- field, a conservative candidate, received nated by the Republican convention, cut off the sources o f supply for the natu ral expenses oj election day, Mr. Patti son, though called upon by the State committee, refused absolutely to con tribute one dollar to the Republican campaign fund in the county.” This paragraph exposes and damns the whole piratical plot. Under what obligation was Mr. Patterson, to allow these plunderers, whom ho had been trying to check in their rapacity, free access to his pocket, because their pirat ical ticket had been condemned and withdrawn? Suppose it had been ac cepted, wiio then would have furnished the campaign funds, and what was done with funds that actually did go into the h.ands of the usual committees in the usual way ? The whole thing is clear; tlie pirates not only withheld the legit- mate moans provided for the county campaign, but a dded theii- votes as well in opijosition to the ticket, the results, have noticed elsewhere, giving iublican candidates in possible way, and then tlirough organ the Courier, sot up the culprit’s cry of “ Stop th ie f ;” “ P atterson did it.” Is it possible that there is a man in Seneca county so shallow as not to see through the whole devise ? If there is, he should establish a know nothing party by him self, confine his reading entirely to the Courier, and be happy in know ing ju s t etiougii to realize tliat “ ignorance is bliss.” It is more than suspected by some in a position to form jiretty correct judg ment, that more money was spent by the hostile committeemen, under the coach- indubitable proofs of their purpose to rob the Republican candidates in every not to do it, tliaii in promoting tlie cess of what the Courier calls tlic “ ticket nominated by the court,” and against whicli its sneaking animosity is apparent throughout its entire, “ anti- mortom” staCemeni, .is L'ol. Raker > j iptly puts it. Tlie air of e.xultation w ith whicli some of the lesser but active piratical liglits r e f e r to the. ‘ ‘smashing” which the Republican c.Tndidates in the county received, and the boastful rem a rk, often heard In the unguarded excitem ent of the moment, “ tiiat shows wliat you can do without our help, and when yon de pend ujwn Patterson's money,\ gives vay tlic whole piratical schem e ; the dd w.TS by their own confession aban doned, SO f a r as they ivere concerned, td as regards funds, labor and votes. But the result shows too imicli for their purpose. It serves to disclose their strengtli, or rather, tlioir wcak- study of the figures showii good index of wliat tliey can do, of what they liavc done; their legiti mate strength being a mere fr.action of tlic Republican voters; just enough to make and perpetuate miscliief, under their present bosses. The Courier iircsumes again in an unusual degree, upon the intellectual obtuseness of its re.aders, when it at tempts to pose its piratical and outlawed Johnson Hall convention as a niiignani- compromiser, in offering to tlie regular and ‘'representative\ convention the Comer continues: “It irritated Mr. Patterson’s followers, and exasperated them against the State ticket,” etc. This is designed for the eyes of Platt, Fassott, and other managers, from Avhom Mr. Andrews is hoping for ap pointments or “ business benefits.” But they read the evident intent between the lines, and tlie bait will hardly catch in the light of known facts. The State ticket had no more earnest support any where in the state, than Mr. Patterson and his friends in this county. Notice again the foolish sophistry of the Cou rier's pretence for shifting the respon sibility for the overwhelming defeat of the ticket. Its statement that the re pudiation of the bogus piratical ticket “ cut off the sources of supply,” is plain confession, that as soon as the regular ticket was establislied by author ity of the Supreme Court, “ the supply for the natural expenses of election day” were cut off, that is, the funds provided for tlie campaign were withheld, and by Avhom and for what purpose ? The tricky boss has fallen into his own trap this time. His county committee con trolled that supply, and under his coun sel, “salted down” the funds, .md sought to lleece Mr. Patterson in addi tion, to let the election go by default and charge the responsibility upon him. Tlie Courier is attempting to carry out the plot, for which it doubtless gets its share of the boodle from the “ sources of supply,” etc-, which—^for a mislead ing purpose, of course—it is indiscreet enough to admit, were “ cut off.” This treacherous steal is further confirmed by the next paragrajih in the Courier: “As a result of tliis situation the Re publican party in tiiis county entered upon election day without a single dol lar The purchasable vote was all against them, and it werq little wonder liad they been absolutely overwhelmed.” Now, what became of the $2,000 as serted by the N. Y. Times and as yet uncontradicted, to have been paid into W l ia t D e f e a t e d V s I Very naturally and properly this all important question is agitating the Re publican Press and managers, and in fact is matter of earnest discussion gen erally. All are agreed upon some of the causes which brought the great dis aster, where we saw such promises of success. We give our readers this week a few quotations from prominent and influen tial sources, which so far as they are specific, epitomize the whole matter, and voice the general sentiment. They indicate the absolute necessity of reform, speedy and radical in some important respects in Republican management, if the party is to he imifled and solidified by the cohesion and strength which mutual confidence, common sentiment and conviction of personal responsibil ity only can insure. The N. Y. Tribune says: Reports from the country as to Election Day events are throwing a flood of light on the situation, and are already enabling us to understand how we were beaten and Avhat must be done to recover our strength. The problem is not difficult, though its solution avi U impose hard 3rk ujion the leaders in almost every . For obvious motives our Dem- •ee already county.

This is not the way to win an election. It is plain to the politically acute tliat with tlie magnificent organization wliich the Republicans have perfected in this city, and in view of the popularity of their National issues as witnessed ’ the result in Ohio, they can carry N York next year if they will at once i dertake to organize the country. Tin headquar ters. T h e skeleton of such an organi. tes that £hould candidates that s be acceptable to the pirates, thereby recognizing them having politico-diplomatic functions. Sucli recognition was wliat was sought and planned by the pirates; but that, like other schemes, mis-c.arricd. It calls to mind tlic offer once made by Satan to the Savior. The gist of the Courier's hifalutiu display of last week, w.as primarily and chiefly, to continue to pull the avoo I the eyes of its careless or preju diced readers and make a show, if pos sible, tliat on paper miglit be plausible lOugh to maintain for a while the un enviable prominence of its manager, and his prestige as a mischief maker of boundless cheek and matchless rapacity. But his following, among men of re spectable calibre, is growing less every day, and the time is not far off, when the Republican majority will be able to shake ofi its paralizing incubus, and as sert and maintain its rights, of which for years it has been deprived by pirat ical usurpers and political adventurers. The Courier styles Judge Adams’ just and crushing decision and accomp.a- nying opinion, an “inflamatory docu ment, of a character to irritate,” etc. Not a eut throat or thief in the whole land, but has the same opinion of the whole criminal code No doubt the cir culation of the opinion of Judge Adams had an irritating and damaging effect the piratical bosse.s, as stated in the Courier. As Pat said when told by the Englishman that tlie services in a cer tain Catholic church were enough to scare the devil, “ That’s the intintion!” Look for a moment at this statement, and read as plain as day-light the thought and real intent which prompted Referring to Judge Adams’ “ opin ion” the Courier says, it irritated the regular Republicans and exasperated them, etc. Why and how? Simply with such as took their cue from the Cmirier, and were influenced by such statements as we have quoted. Then the Republican party is rent wj^h fac- • ■ • losities. T h i s ................. Fassett had no porters than those Repub aU’ections have been especially engaged by Senator Miller and Congressman Belden. The Republican vote fell off in the districts where the] in a proportion no greater than in othi districts. It fell off everywhere. Sev eral bad local nominations and some local qu.arrels undoubtedly complicated the campaign here and there, and give significant warning to tlie party that it must get rid of men whose doings hav( oflended the moral sentiment of the voters, and that it must comxiose petty quarrels wherever they exist. But the great fact is that the Democrats made a _ _ _ big country canvass, spending enormous Committeeman in Seneca Falls, and of puH them through with no other effort the further sum of several hundreds of dollars put into his hands by Senator Hunter and received from other candi dates and private sources, as stated by Mr. Owens himself to more than a dor.en dillerent persons within three days of election? By whom was that “ out off',” and where is the least evidence that any portion of it was ever used “for the natural” (or any other) expenses of election day? The Courier says, “ not dollar,” and for once tlie necessary conditions hear out its statement. Good assurances are given that Re publican funds, which were contributed to aid the election of the county as well as the State ticket, were distributed those to whom they were intrusted, several of the soulhorn towns, for the express and only purpose of “ burying the Patterson ticket,” and making it ap pear that it was due to tlie groat perso nal pojnilarity of the Uomooratic candi date for Member, in that p.art of the county. And tliat ho is woiTliily popn- pleased to admit. But the traitorous work of the piratical bolters ai>pears, jn s t the same. But thes“ suckers must muke the most of their last haul, for it will be a marvel if they have another chance to “ cut off the sources of supply” for some time to come. The people are getting desperately tired of being cheated, robbed, and then crammed with sucli bold lies as the Courier deals out to tliem. It is adding insult to injury, that an m tolligent community w ill not submit to forever. AVhat do the loud professions of the (huricr, .and its v.aiuntcd claim of work ing for the unity and success of the Re publican Party amount to, in the light of all these overwhelming facts? A large majority of the Keijublican voters of the county have condemned its course, tlie judgment of tlie Supreme Court has sustained the attempt of that oiiglit to be \an orgauizatioii “that will a responsible through a town and county tion, directly with the State zation exist is wanting in many iilaces. next six montiis the National campaign election district, and place Within the tliei'e in^ zation exists already, but the substuii 1 open, and before tliat time Repub- in fencesnces shouldhould bee putut in repair.epair.

Senator Sherman of Ohio says: “I am not at all disturbed as to the result in New York. To my mind it simply indicates the fact that Mr. Platt’s power lies in the great city, and tiiat the coun try districts are getting a little tired of the intrigues of the metropolis, and wanted to make that fact manifest this year, when there was no great national issue on hand. Tliey took this year to do it, and Mr. Fassett was the target at which they shot.

AB£OUUTEi:r PURE B r a s s , o r B r a i n s —'IVliicii I To the Journal; The week before election the Courier told us that if tlie court decided against tlie printing of the ticket made at the first Republic.an convention then all hope of success was lost. This seems to have been the key note, and the result in the county shows the obedience of .all under that authority. The Courier wing of tlie party seem to have slopped over in all the ways they charged as heresy last year, and practiced tlie same tactics this year the county ticket, as the bolting is county nominations only, and tlie dif ference of about five hundred votes betivecn the county ticket and the state and senator could only come from those displeased with the decision of the court. The Courier set up a great howl be cause the prevailing party published broad-casf the decision of the court in the matter. This it was their duty to do that all should be informed of the ruling as to who were lawfully in nomination, that all law-abiding citizens might govern themselves accordingly. The last issue of the Courier claimed that the convention endorsed by the Courier solicited from the “ bolting” convention that they should make nom inations for county officers and Courier's convention Avould adopt the same. AVhat a stretch of generosit ready to adopt the nominations of those they call liars, robbers, etc. This only shows a lack of confidence in the sound ness of their own position, and that tliey did not wish to get a judicial decision in the matter. The decision of the court must be cepted by all law-abiding citizens, and it is not in good taste for editors others to undertake to sneer down the rulings of the court. If the Patterson w ing— so called—have shown a tempt for the doings of the Courier wing—so called—the latter has shown a contempt not only for the Patterson wing, but for the courts as well; and when we undertake to strike down the courts, we strike at one of the great pillars of our safety. AV^e write, not because avc belong to the “ bolting” wing in the Congress of last year, for we did then as we did this year, voted the whole Republican ticket, and we expect to see Col. Noyes seated in Congress, and we would like to see men seated in our legislature that would faithfully represent the well-defined wishes of their constituents, when the issues were w ell-defined, and accepted wliCH i ' h ’ v hpeame standard bearers of the party.

They have many reasons for being pleased at tlic result in that State, not w ithstanding tlie concerted efforts of a band of able liars to make it appear otherwise. First and foremost is the fact tliat Major McKinley made his fight upon precisely the issues that the Re publican national campaign of next year will be fought on—^Protection to Ameri can industries and an honest and stable ency. A defeat for McKinley would thus have been a defeat for the national administration, and yet some Democrats had the foolhardiness to say that the administration would rejoice at McKin ley’s defeat. Major McKinley knows that lie received no more sincere con gratulations than those sent by members of the present admmistrotion, and that he has no stauncher friends anywhere.” New York has elected more Demo cratic governors than Republicans dur ing the past twenty years, so that it by means follows that because it went Democratic this year it will elect the Democratic electoral ticket next year. Mr. Harrison expressed tlie opinion, which is shared by most observant Re publicans hereabouts, that had the fight in New York been conducted upon national issues, as it was in Ohio, the Slate would have gone Republican. About the only thing settled by the State elections is that the Farmer’s Alli ance will amount to nothing in the Presidential campaign. The whole strength of its national organization was centred in Ohio to prevent tlie election of a Republican legislature in that State, and what did it amount to ? Absolutely nothing. The Democrats here are already knocking the noses of Cleveland and Hill out of joint by proposing Boies of Iowa and Russell of Massachusetts for the ticket next year. Secretary Foster has returned from Ohio, and he is naturally proud that the result has proven to be so hear what he predicted weeks ago tliat it would be. He says that the Republicans of Ohio were thoroughly aroused and deter mined to win from the start, and that the result was never for a single moment in doubt. Attorney-General Miller is not satis fied with the decision of the U. S. Dis trict Court of California in the notorions Itata case—the Court held that the ship ping of arms on the Itata was a perfectly proper commercial transaction, and that the United States had no right to inter fere—-and has directed that an appeal be taken to the Supreme Court. The case is an important one, beeau.«e its final decision will govern this Govern ment in all similar transactions in the future.
