FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1894.
Judge Holcomb, a "Fusionist," ran
3,000 ahead of Mr. Majors, the Re
publican candidate for Governor of
Nebraska.
Gov. Tattison was inaugurated Jan
uary 20, and will have served four
years less five days at the close of his
term. His successor, Governor Hast
ings will be inaugurated into office on
the 15th of January. An imposing
inaugural demonstration will likely
take place.
Many faithful judges who were re
cognized as in every way competent
were also covered out of sight by the
political land slide ; among them we
mention Judge Rhone, of Luzerne
and Sittser of Sullivan county. Alfred
Darte succeeds the former and E. M.
Dunham the latter.
And Coxey also tailed to get there.
The landslide slid over him also. The
difference between his vote and that
of Mr. Taylor, his Republican op
ponent, being something over 20,000
votes. We notice by the returns that
the Populists didn't pop up as numer
ous as had been prophecied by those
whose wish was a close relative to the
thought.
Anticipating the failure of the in
come tax feature of the Wilson bill,
that is the failure to success fully
gather this tax from the rich, the
issuance of bonds may become a
necessity. While this is the case
gathering tax from the poor is never
permitted to fail. It is claimed by
those who have observed past futile
efforts to tax the rich directly that
they will prefer to put the Govern
ment to expensive litigation rather
than make proper return of their tax
able incomes and then pay their tax
as required by the income-tax law.
The fact being settled that the
Republicans will reorganize the next
House of Representatives, the all
important question now is how will
they reorganize it ? The struggle for
speakership and chairmanships will
now begin. In fact it has already
begun with Mr. Reed of Maine, some
distance in advance for speaker by
virtue of his experience and his recog
nized leadership within the party.
The reorganization of the Senate
may not be required, since the Re
publicans have failed to gain a clean
majority. If they have a majority
here it will be through the aid of
populists.
Some Plums,
While the change of a State admin
istration does not carry with it so
much patronage as a national revolu
tion affects, there are still some plums
to gather from among the executive
State offices.
For instance the Governor's secre
tary commands a salary of $4,000 ;
his deputy, $2,500; private secretary
$2,500 ; chief clerk, $2,200 j corpo
ration clerk, $2,200 ; and the amount
requisite for subordinate clerk hire.
&c, is equal to about $150,000 more.
The Attorney General can easily
see $11,000 ahead of him each year,
while the law clerk and stenographer
will absorb at least $3,700 more. The
Adjutant General's salary, not count
ing little perquisites, is equivalent to
$3,100 per annum and the patrons of
this office require $15,200 more to
pay them. There are of course soma
hold-over officials who are not yet
bounceable, but no doubt the plums
will fall and be gathered as fast as
they ripen.
The Powerful Power.
These political revolutions are so
highly indicative of the uncertainty of
how the American political cat may
jump that the betting fraternity are
obliged to take the same risks as the
politicians. We seem to have struck
the time in our national existence
when the floating vote holds the
balance of power, and the powerful
power buys the floating vote. In a
similar revolution the Republican
party and its protective policy was le
feated by Democracy under a pledge
of tariff reform. Now the tariff is re
formed and Democracy is defeated
because she lacked faith and was too
long quarreling about reforming the
tariff, &c.
Populist Growth ia Wisconsin-
The Populist was the only one of
the four parties that made any gain in
Wiscbnsin. In this State the gain of
the Populist party is estimated at
45,000, or about four times the vote
it cast in 1892. The republicans,
though victorious, polled fewer votes
by several thousand than they cast in
189a.
THE OFHOIAL CONGRESSIONAL

The following is the vote for Con
gress in tnls district as computed by
the return Judges of the several
counties at Sunbury last Tuesday :

We are indebted to D. R. Coffman,
Congressional return Judge for this
County, for the above figures.
An Analysis of the Vote.
The Singerly vote shows a gain of
31,963 on the Hancock vote of
297,966 last February, the Democrats
polling 330,929 for the head of the
ticket this year. The only other Dem
ocratic gain is in Clarion county, which
gave Singerly 429 majority to 175 for
Hancock. Grow had a total vote last
February of 485,804 and a majority
of 187,838, and this election receives
240,231 majority over Meyer, the
highest of the Democratic candidates
for Congressman-at Large. Huff has
9,259 less voles than Grow, and Col
lins has 7,600 less than Meyer. Hast
ings has 53,146 more majority than
Grow received and the Republican
vote is 86,109 higher than that cast
last February, 55,902 greater than
that given Harrison and 124 258 more
than the Delamater vote. The Demo
cratic loss on the PattUon vote is
133,280 and on that of Cleveland
1 2I335- Osburn hadta,j,827 less votes
last November for State Treasurer
than Singerly's vote this year and
when Jackson had 135,146 majority.
Ihe total vote this year is 902,842.
It was 968,275 in 1892 and 911,894
for Governor four years ago. Less than
73 per cent, of the vote given Cleve
land was at the polls Tuesday, while
the Republican gain is 90 per cent,
over the Harrison majority.
Postmaster Eisner's Resignation.
The resignation of Elliot P. Kisner
as postmaster in Ilazleton has crented
no little surprise in political circles in
Luzerne county, and has given rise to
endless rumors. Among these are that
Mr. Kisner contemplates again enter
ing politics actively. It is also stated
that there is a plan now on foot to re
generate the Democracy in Pennsyl
vania, and that new leaders will be
developed to take the reins. The
theory advanced is to the effect that
Mr. Kisner, Eckley B. Coxe, of Drift
on, John T. Lenahan, of Wilkesbarre,
and others are now formulating a plan
by which this may be accomplished.
The hot fight between six applicants
for the post office, which was abruptly
ended by the appointment of Air. Kis
ner, is again on. During the late cam
paign several of the disappointed can
didates came out flat against Congress
man Hines, and assisted materially in
pilling up the majority for his oppon
ent. From him these people now have
little hope for assistance. The names
more prominently mentioned as ap
pointees are Chris Martin and James
P. Gorman. Phila. Times.
The Political Complexion of the Legislature-There
are 204 legislative districts
in the State. In the next legislature,
according to complete returns, the
membership of the State senate will
be made up of 7 Democrats and 43
Republicans ; and the house will
stand 27 Democrats and 177 Repub
licans, or a Republican majority of
186 on joint ballot. This is enough to
put the responsibility for bad legisla
tion on the Republicans .
Almost Blind
Inflamed Eyes and Run

The Success of Hood's Causes
Great Rejoicing A Perfect Cure.
Hit Cora B. Ebert
Barneavllle, Pa.
CI. Hood ft Co., Lowell, Mass.)
" I feel It a duty to state what Hood's flrsv
parllla has don for me. I waa almost blind,
being compelled to stay In a darkoned room on
acoount of Inflammation of the eyo. I also
uRered with running lores on my body. I was
In terrible eoudlUon. My mother tried every
tiling she knew about and I was attended by
two doctor but without helping me. Finally
Hood' Hnrsaparllla win recommended unci I
had not taken two bottles before I began to put
better. The Inflammation left my eye and the
ores neaiea, uuu tne result was that
I Became Stronger,
and was restored to perfect health. At that
tiin I was only twelve years old ; now I am
nineteen and I have not since been troubled
Hood's8i'Cures
with my eyes or noticed any sign ot a return ol
the sore on my body. I eau recommend Hood's

medicine." Miss Cora Eiibrt, jlarnesvllle, I'a.

Dr. Parkhurst, the Moral Crusader.
Once in awhile a genuine reformer
receives the plaudits of the people
before death overtakes him. A case
in point is that of Dr. Parkhurst, the
celebrated crusader aginst vice in
New York, City. He has recently
been given quite an ovation and is
promised some befitting public de
monstration before his death takes
(.lace and his monument is erected.
Under the circumstances the demons
tration is apt to be of a semi political
nature, and this perhaps accounts for
it, since moralists cenerallv allow
moral reformers to die first for fear
praise will spoil them perhaps. '
