DISTRICT
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1894.
TUESDAY'S
ELECTION.
THE REPUBLICANS SWEEP THE
OOUNTEY.
Elections were held Tuesday in all
the States of the Union, except
Maine, Oregon and Vermont, which
voted before.
Forty-one of the states elected
Representatives to the Fifty-fourth
Congress, and 21 states elected Legis
latures, which , choose United States
Senators. Besides this, 20 states
elected Governors, nine elected minor
State officers, and three states, New
York, California, and South Carolina,
voted upon important Constitutional
amendments.
GOVERNORS ELECTED.
These States elected Governors and
State officers : California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illi
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Massa
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis
souri, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
' New York, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Texas, Vermont, Washington, Wis
consin and Wyoming.
A COMPLETE REPUBLICAN SWEEP.
The returns from all parts of the
country indicate that the Republicans
have made a complete sweep of Con
gressmen ; that they have secured a
majority of the Governors elected
Tuesday, and that the Legislature
chosen place the next United States
Senate in doubt.
Morton for Governor carried New
York State by over 190,000 majority.
Wm. L. Strong, Independent Re
publican, is elected Mayor of New
York City by 30,000.
The New Jersey Legislature will
be Republican, thus insuring the elec
tion of a United States Senator of
that political faith.
Owing to the split of the Republi
can party the Populists have elected
Halcomb Governor of Nebraska.
Delaware is probably Republican
so far as the Governor and Congress
men are concerned. The Legislatuie
is probably Democratic.
Pennsylvania is Republican by
about 234,000, and Hastings is elected
Governor. The Republicans elect
about 25 Congressmen.
The result in William L. Wilson's
district in West Virginia is in doubt.
His defeat is claimed by Republicans,
but not admitted by Democrats.
W. D. Bynum is defeated for Con
gress in Indiana, and William M.
Springer, it is claimed by Republicans,
is defeated in Illinois.
It is likely that the next House of
Representatives will have a Republi
can majority of 66.
In Delaware county Judge Clayton
' is re-elected. A strong fight was
made against him.
The defeat of Congressman Hines
is claimed by the Republicans in Lu
zerne county.
Halterman defeated McCullen for
Congress in the McAleer district in
Philadelphia.
Owens, the Democrat who defeated
Breckenridge for the nomination for
Congress in Kentucky, is probably
beaten.
The latest returns on Thursday
morning show that the Democrats
have elected only one congressman
. in Pennsylvania out of thirty. The
indications are that Tennessee has
elected a republican governor, and so
has Delaware. " And the next day it
snowed."
The Congressional Vote.
Up to the hour of going to press it
has been impossible to get the returns
from a reliable source from other
counties in this congressional district.
There is, however, no doubt but that
Kulp is elected. The majorities are
about as follows :
Buckalew.
rus
1S
Kulp.
Columbia,
Montour,
Northumberland,
Sullivan,
1781
U
HU0 1HIS
This gives Kulp a majority in the
district of 955.
The result of the vote in this county
is nowise the fault of Chairman Chris
man. He gave much of his time dur
ing the campaign to organizing the
party, arranging meetings, procuring
speakers, and all the details pertaining
to his position, and performed all his
duties faithfully and.ably.

STATE SENATOR.
J. Henry Cochran Elected.
J. Henry Cochran, Democratic
Candidate for State Senator, is elect
ed over C. E. Geyer, Republican, by
about 2700. His majority in this
county is 1316; Lycoming gives him
781; Montour about 300, and Sulli
van 250.
The election is over, and now there
are many Democrats who have their
theories concerning the causes ol the
defeat of Mr. Buckalew in the district,
and the small majority for the State
and County ticket. There is not a
man, of course, who will admit for a
moment that he had anything to do
with it, but he knows some other fel
lows upon whom he puts the blame.
Those whose friends were defeated
for nomination at the county conven
tion ascribe the result to " rottenness
of the convention." Another blames
the newspapers for alleged inactivity 1
another charges treachery, in quarters
where warm friendship was professed
fpr the Democratic candidates, and
so on down the list. All this is sheer
nonsense. The fact is that we are
beaten, and that is bad enough with
out starting dissensions and fights
within the party, by every man trying
to hold somebody else responsible
for the defeat. We are beaten be
cause the wind blew that away this
year. It was a Republican year, and
no efforts on the part ot anybody
could have averted it. Instead of
back-bitings and false accusation
within the party, . we need unity and
concord, and in no other way can we
hope to regain our usual old time
prestige, and stand among the counties
that can always be relied upon for a
good big Democratic majority. Let a
halt be called on this sort of thing,
and let us put our shoulders to the
wheel for 1896.
Let those who are still in the en
joyment of protected monopoly gather
what consolation they can from the
temporary slap at the Democratic
effort in New York and Pennsylvania
for free and open competition. Under
anything like favorable conditions
tariff reform is the strongest possible
issue that Democracy can favor. It
has won before and it will again, be
cause it is the issue of the masses
against the classes.
With $61,000,000 of free gold avail
able and with rapidly increasing re
ceipts from internal revenue, the
United States Treasury is no longer in
any desperate strait for want of funds
to meet obligations. The increased
volume of business indicates that
while exports are increasing jm ports
are also growing in amount.
The Demociatic voters who did not
pay their taxes in time, or did not
vote a straight ticket, or who did not
vote at all, are the men who are res
ponsible for the results in this county
last Tuesday. Every one who comes
under any of these heads knows just
who is hit.
If it be true, an charged, that the
price of wheat went down to fifty
cents a bushel, under Democratic polr
icy, it follows that unless the price
now advances, the Republican party
must assume the responsibility.
It is rot any worse than it has been
before, and next year the unterrified
Democracy will come up smiling, just
as tnougn it nadn t been knocked out
nis year.
There is one consolation left, and
that is that the Democratic tidal wave
of 1893 was a bigger one than the
Republican tidal wave of 1894.

The Democratio Overturn.
A schoolboy who was asked to de
fine " responsibility " said if he had
only two buttons on his trousers and
one came off all the responsibility
would rest on the other button. This
was not a bad definition, and it
affords a very accurate idea of the
popular apprehension of party respon
sibility. The party in power is held
to account for everything that results
through the default of the party out
of power, and it nearly always hap
pens for this reason that political
successes are followed by reverses.
The Democrats came into power in
189a just on the eve of an industrial
and financial revulsion, for which
previous bad industrial and financial
legislation was almost wholly respon
sible. Tfie people have put the
whole responsibility, not on the failure
of the button that came off, but on
the other button.
The times have heeun to mend as
a result of Democratic corrective leg
islation, but the change for the better
was not quick enough to prevent Re
publican success. ' Twenty years ago
after the panic of 1873 there were a
succession of Democratic victories
precisely as the panic of 1893 has
bred Republican victories, but with
this difference, that there was no
question in 1873 as to where the
whole blame should properly rest. In
this habitual swinging back and forth
of the political pendulum is the only
consolation Democrats can find in
the results of yesterday's elections.
The Republican sweep of 1894 is
nearly an equivalent for the Demo
cratic sweep of 1892. Honors are
therefore even.
To some extent, however, Demo
cratic disasters are the direct out.
come of Democratic discussions and
mistakes. President Cleveland has
developed a wonderful incapacity for
successful leadership, and he has not
lacked able assistance in the Senate
and House. The disastrous overturn
in New York State is a result of
blundering at Washington and plund
ering in New York city No party
and no leadership could stand up
under such a double load.
Whatever have been the causes of
Democratic defeat it is a matter of
congratulation that there will be a
decisive Republican majority in the
House of Representatives. The
power of initiative in that body brings
with it grave responsibilities, which
cannot be shifted as they might have
been had the Populists obtained
members enough to hold the balance
of power. The position of the Re
publicans will be one of harmlessness
and ineflectiveness. They cannot
change the tariff as it stands. They
are committeed at any rate against
further tariff agitation. Their victory
is therefore a bootless one. It is not
until 1896 that a decisive bartle can
be fought. By that time all the con
ditions will be 'favorable lor sober
decision. J'hila. Record. '
The Republican party is in the posi
tion of the second doctor who takes
charge of a patient who is convalescing.
If the patient continues to improve,
the new doctor claims all the credit
for it, but if he relapses, then 01 course
it is the fault of the other doctor.
Under democratic rule business has
commenced to improve, but if it so
continues the republicans will claim
that their return to power brought it
about, but if it turns the other way,
then of course they will say that it is
the result of democratic misrule.
the New York papers announce
the generous fact that the head end of
Mot ton's barrel was wide open just
before election : and that Mr. Morton
drew the bung without much waste of
eloquence about the necessity for it.

SUITS
FROM S1S.OO.
The New Czar of Bussia.
Replying to the messages of homage
from the senate and holy synod, the
czar said to the former body:
" I am assured of the feelings of de
votion which the senate has expressed
toward me, and I have no doubt I
shall have its co operation in the ser
vice of my dear country and in the
path marked out by my ever lamented
father."
To the synod the emperor address
ed the following remarks :
" I heartily thank you for the Senti
ments of sympathy expressed to me at
this moment of deep sorrow inspired
by ardent love for my depaited father.
I shall devote all my strength to the
service ot my dsar country and the
Orthodox church."
Sugar and Whiskey Kulers Ri'SDonsible for
a Treasury Dufictt of $13,500,000
in October.
The last monthly treasury state
ment shows that on October 31, 1894,
the public debt, less cash in the treas
ury, amounted to $911,327,471, an
increase for the month of $13,680,
8S4-
The concession made in the sugar
and whiskey trusts are responsible for
the big treasury deficit for the past
month. The sugar men imported a
six months' supply before the tariff
act went into effect, "and the receipts
of customs from this source have
amounted to comparatively little.
The whiskey men withdrew from bond
thousands of gallons under the 90-cent
tax, with the result that it will be sev
eral months before the additional 20
cents a gallon will cut any figure in
the internal revenue returns.
These large withdrawals temporar
ily swelled the treasury receipts for
the first month after the act became
operative, but during the past four
weeks they have amounted to less
than half of the receipts for the same
month a year ago. The 40 per cent.
tax on raw sugar, which the sugar
statesmen virtuously insisted would
net the treasury $40,000,000 annually
has realized less than half a million
during the past two months.
The amount these two trusts have
benefitted at the government's ex
pense is shown clearly in the deficit,
and it is quite likely that this deficit
will increase to $25,000,000 before
the government gets any big returns
from either sugar or whiskey.
Majorities in Columbia County,

As We View Lufeat.
The one peculiarity of a political
defeat is that it neither convicts nor
converts as a rule. Those who rto
their own thinking and are not for
sale find no trouble about justifying
their position and reconciling it with
good government. Those who are for
sale care more for the money their
votes vfill bring them than they do
for good government or namely princi
pie. If righteous religious effort often
suffers temporary defeat surely the
very best political effort always more
or less suspicious must expect It.
