TIDAL WAVE
OF REFORM HAS
WASHED CORRUPTION
FROM THE COUNTRY AND PROCLAIMS
“PUBLIC OFFICE A PUBLIC TRUST.”
EE
The elections throughout the Union
Tuesday resulted in sweeping Demo-
cratic victories. Mr. CLEVELAND was
elected President and a Democratic
House of Representatives was chosen,
with a Democratic Senate to help
along the great march of Reform.
Perhaps the greatest cause we bave
for rejoicing is because of the intelli-
gent manhood which repudiated the
Force bill and buried Mr. McKINLEY
and his millionaire making measure un-
der the wreckage of broken promises of
the Republican platform. Not only
the South, but the great North and
West rose up in awful portend to sound
the doom of the party which overtax-
ed, insulted, and defied the people.
Every State in the union added
something to the gladsome victory.
Republican strongholds rebuked the
party of booses, while Democratic forts
piled up increased majorities.
It was a victory well worth the strug-
gle andthe result proves beyond a
doubt that the campaign of reason is
the campaign for a free people.
Mr. CreveLanp and Mr. STEVENSON
have been called to the head of our
government because they represent the
principles which the people have said
must rule.
VIRGINIA.
The state has gone Democratic by
from 40,000 to 50,000 majority. Re-
turns from the Fourth congressional
district are coming in very slow, as
many of the precincts are miles away
from the nearest telegraph station.
Returns received up to 1:80 p. m. yes-
terday indicate the election of Epes,
Democrat, over Goode, third party |
candidate.
|
|
MICHIGAN.
The latest returns show that Rich, Re- |
publican, is elected governor by 10,000 |
majority. The Republicans elect con-
gressmen in the Third, Fourth, Sixth
Eighth, Ninth, Eleventh and Thir-
teenth districts and the Democrats in |
; Se
First, Second, Fitth, Seventh ani
Tenth districts.
ILLINOIS,
The later returns do not abate in any
way from the decisive Democratic vic-
tory in the state of Illinois, both on
national and state tickets. Conserva-
tive men of all parties now generally
agree that the Democratic plurality in
the state will be approximately 10,000
and the Democrats will have at least
thirteen of the twenty-two congress-
men, with a probability of one or two
more in the districts still in doubt.
Later returns give us Illinois by
12,000.
MISSOURI
Missouri hae gone Democratic by
about 30,000. Stone, Democratic can-
didate for Governor, is elected by about
10,000. St, Louis is Republican by
about 10,000, and Kansas City is Dem-
ocratic. Fourteen out of fifteen con-
gressmen elected are Democrats. The
Legislature is Democratic.
GEORGIA.
Georgia went Democratic by 71,502.
The legislature is overwhelmingly
Democratic and elects eleven Democra-
tic congressman.
INDIANA:
Seventy-four out of the 92 counties
in Indiana, as reported to chairman
Taggert of the Democratic State com-
mittee, give Democratic gains over
1888 of 8,743. The estimated net
gain in the other 18 counties is 3,400
making the Democratic pluralty in
the State 9,743.
WEST VIRGINI1A.
The State Republican committee
concedbs the election of MacCorkle,
Democrat, for Governor, by from 1,000
to 1,300 plurality, and that the State
has gone for Cleveland. Not one-half
of the State has been heard from, but
enough is known to warrant the state-
ment that West Virginia is Democrat-
"ic by a small majority.
2 El a a=
CONNECTICUT.
The Democrats swept the Nutmeg
State clean Tuesday’s election. Cleve-
land’s majority in the State four years
ago was 826 ; this year it is over 5,000.
Besides, the Democratic State ticket is
elected throughout by the people, for the
first time since the election of Governor
Walker in 1882.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Returns indicate plurality of 30,000
for Cleveland. Democrats elect every
congressman. :
DELAWARE.
Following is the vote of Delaware
complete : Cleveland, 18,529 ; Harri-
i 17,951; Cleveland's plurality,
WISCONSIN.
Republicans admit the election of
Peck by a small plurality and that the
electoral vote goes to Cleveland. Four
out of 10 congressmen are probably Re-
publican. The legislature is Demo-
cratic and a Democrat will succeed
United States Senator Sawyer. The
majority will reach 13,000.
RE =e
CALIFORNIA.
Nine hundred and thirty-seven pre-
cinets in California out of a total of 2,-
561; give Cleveland 67,934 ; Harrison,
62,661; Weaver, 9.287. Cleveland’s
plurality. This includes 265 precincts
in San Francisco. It is now estimated
that the Weaver vote will exceed 20,
000jin the State. The state has surely
gone for Cleveland by close a majority.
NEW JERSEY.
The indications are that Cleveland
has carried New Jersey by 7,500, and
that Werts, Democrat, for Governor,
has been elected by a plurality of 4,000.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Governor Russell has again proved
the strength of the popular favor by
winning the Governorship in a Republi-
can State in a Presidental election. It
is a great triumph for him. Though the
state went 18,000 for Harrison the
young Democrat was re-elected.
OHIO.
For the first time in the history of the
Buckeye state has it voted for a Demo-
cratic president. McKinley’s own home
has rebuked him by giving Cleveland a
majority of over 1270. When such a
protected stronghold has gone Democra-
tic then the few that did not will see
the folly of their ways. If more come
how will we bear the burden.
NEW YORK.
Has gone Democratic to the tune of
40,000. The Legislature and Senate
both Democratic. There was no decep-
tion in the Empire State. Hill said he
would, and he did.
THE SOLID SOUTH.
The south is still true to Democracy.
Every one of the states have rolled up
increased majorities to condemn the
Force bill outrage. Returns are slow
in getting in but they all herald Demo-
cratic gains,
°
MINNESOTA.
The Democratic committee have not
given up on the Fusion electors, but
the Republican committee is firm in
its belief that they have carried all of
the nine electors, most of them by plu-
ralities from 12,000 to 25,000. Thus
far about 3000 precincts have been
heard from all over the State, and they
give Nelson for Governor about 1,000
plurality.
KANSAS.
It looks like another Third party
landslide in Kansas. With only a few
back counties to hear from, the returns
already in show that Weaver has car-
ried the State by about 2,000; that
Lewelling, the Fusion candidate for
Governor, will have a majority over
Smith (Rep.), of abcut 1,500.
Congressmen elected.
WYOMING.
The state ‘Republican committee
concedes the election of the Weaver
electors and the state Democratic tick-
et. The fusionists have probably car-
ried the legislature, which will result
in the defeat of Senator Warren.
WASHINGTON.
The result will not be known in this
state for at least twenty-four hours.
Indications are that Harrison carried
the state by 5,000 at least and that
both Republican congressmen are el-
ected. Both Democrats and Republi-
cans claim the governorship.
NEBRASKA.
Incomplete returns from forty-eight
out of ninety of the counties in Ne-
brasra indicate that Harrison has car-
ried the State by a slight plurality.
The Democrats admit the election of
Crounse, Republican, for Governor by
5,000 to 10,000. The Republicans
elect two congressmen—Mercier, in
the Second, and Hainer, in the Fourth.
The Populists re-elect Kem and Me-
Kegan. The other districts are in
doubt with indications favorable to
Bryan, Democratic in the First, and
Meiklejohn, Republican in the Third.
RHODE ISLAND.
Harrison carried Rhode Island by
2,500 plurality, but complete returns
are not in, There is no election of con-
gressmen, there being no majority in
either district, though Republican
candidates had a plurality. Bull lack-
ed 742 ofa majority and Capson lack-
ed 164. Democrats claim on second
trial they can elect Lapham and Hage.
The complexion of general assembly
not yet certain.
COLORADO.
Returns from about two-thirds of the
counties in Colorado give Weaver 22,-
693 ; Harrison, 17,181 ; Weaver's major-
ty, 4,862. It is probable that the Weaver
electors will be chosen.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Pennsylvania is Republican by a
greatly reduced majority : Only 50,000
is all that Harrison friends claim. The
Republicans will have at least fifty
majority on joint ballot in the next
legislature and probably sixty, with the
senate too close for comfort.
IOWA.
The Republican electoral ticket car-
ried by a plurality of from 22,000 to 25,
000. They also elect State officers.
The Democrats obtain but one of the 11
NEW HAMPSHIRE,
The Republicans carried the State by
20,000, electing Smith by about 1,700.
Blair, Republican, and Baker Republi-
can, are claimed as elected to congress,
but Barker, Democrat, may be elected
in the Second district over Baker when
full returns are in.
NEVADA,
It is conceded by all party managers
that the Weaver electors have been
{ chosen in Nevada by 1,500 plurality.

Have compassion for their misery.
Democrats from everywhere
come and help us jollify next Monday
night.
——HARRISON is the worst whip-
ped man who ever ran for President.
GREELY not excepted.
There will be a grand Demo

this place next Monday night. Turn

——The Pennsylvania State Legis,
ture will be largely Republican, but
the official count alone will decide the
complexion of the Senate,
If you have got rested since the
election, go to work to do the best you
can for yourself. After all it is abom
the surest way to prosperity.
After all there is a good bit of
consolation in the fact that we are in
the same boat, and if the fellows whe
won can live, the fellows who didn’t
can get along too.

~——According to the nearest esti-
mates the next congress will be made
up of 123 Republicans, 224 Democrats,
and seven Farmer's Alliance represen-
tatives. Rhode Island not being count-
ed because there was no choice there,
——An item of interest to Centre
county voters is this: Just 19 Pro-
hibitionists, 38 Democrats, and 60 Re-
publicans lost their votes for President
because they put the cross mark at the
right of the first electors name instead
of the right of the Party name above.
As usual the smart Republicans made
the most mistakes. Oh, how the
Reeper school did educate them.
