They're the boys Mr. TENER can thank for his office of Gov- ernor. —The gentlemen who came away from the GIBBONEY meeting in Petriken hall Sunday night convinced that “there was more of Christ's gospel talked there than is usually heard in our churches,” must have had a very poor opinion of our churches or the ministers that serve. Frankly, we believe that persons who make expressions like the above know very little about what is going on in our churches and it is also probable that they will have less interest than ever in | starting to find out when they see minis- | ters of the churches rallying at a politic- al meeting on Sunday night. \ SATIN yo # “My Polidies” Tariff Revision Upward BEATEN TO A FRAZIL IT IS BACK TO THE DEMOCRACY FOR ALL THE DOUBTFUL STATES Not Since 1882 Has There Been Such a Revulsion of Political Feeling all Over the Country—The Next Congress Will be Democratic and the Way is Paved for a Democratic President in 1912. While Democratic victories at Tuesday's elections were presaged by the land- slide in Maine in September the most optimistic failed to prophesy any such a tre- mendous outpouring of voters to protest against the administration of the govern- ment as was recorded on Tuesday. Personal elements entered into the contests everywhere and local issues to some extent but the preponderance of sentiment is unmistakable in its expression of distrust and dissatisfaction with the Republican party's management of affairs in Washington.

CoLumsus, Nov. 9.—At Republican BowLING GREEN, Mo., Nov. 9.~Down- ward revision of the tariff at once is the pledge made for the new Democratic House of Representatives by Champ Clark, Representatives from the Ninth District, who is a candidate for the Speak- ership. “The first and greatest proposition the Democrats should stand for is a reduction of the tariff to a revenue basis,” he said. “I would reduce it scientifically and grad- ually put into it a sliding scale much like there was in the tariff bill of 1833.” With Nothing to Say, Roosevelt is Rest- ing. OYSTER Bay, N. Y., Nov. 9.—Theodore Roosevelt had not a word to say today as to the results of the election. It was said at Sagamore Hill that not only did he have nothing to say, but that no statement was forthcoming, at least for an indefinite period. Colonel Roosevelt had shut himself off from the outside world. When an at- tempt was made to reach him today he sent out word that he would see no re- porter at Oyster Bay. Colonel Roosevelt said several days ago that he would stay at home to rest for some time, and that he would not go to New York until November 17. ~The fly in that fine big dumpling that was baked for we Democrats on Tuesday was the defeat of Dr. STEWART for Sen- ator. —Even Jim JEFFRIES, beaten nearly to death by JACK JoHNSON, could give ROOSEVELT pointers on the art of com- ing back. —Some people's ideas of Civic Right- eousness seem to be that it is a glorious chance for them to blow the horns of the political altar, while a lot of pot hunting politicians carry away the offices. == . # Stands by the Boss REPUBLICANS CARRY 18 COUNTIES, DEMOCRATS 9, KEYSTONERS 40 Berry Wins in Country—Heavy Socialist Vote is Polled and One Candidate Elected. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.—Complete returns from 60 of the 67 counties, and with estimated pluralities from the missing counties, show an apparent plurality for John K. Tener, Republican, for Governor of Pennsylvania, 32,849. The counties from which complete returns have not been received are Allegheny, Armstrong, Chester, Lawrence, Mercer, Monroe and Wayne. Excluding these counties, Tener polled an official total vote of 348,209; Berry, the Keystone candidate for Governor, 317,345, and Webster Grim, the Democratic candidate, 116,816. ; Estimated returns from the seven missing counties give Mr. Tener a net plu- rality of 2,035, making Mr. Tener’s plurality for the State, 32,849 Of this plural- ity Philadelphia gave Mr. Tener 45,106, and Allegheny approximately 7,910. Mr Tener carried 18 counties; Mr. Grim 9, and Mr. Berry the remaining 40. John M. Reynolds, Republican for Lieutenant Governor, carried the State by a plurality about the same as Mr. Tener's.
