The Next House.
WatchHlan! Tell us Of the Night,
What IFS signs of Promise are.

What ifs signs of Promise are.
The smoke has lifted from the political
battle fields of October and November,
and we can see the result.
The October election returned twenty
eight Democrats and fifty-eight Republi-
cans and opposition to Congress. The
November elections have resulted in the
overwhelming defeat in New York Of the
Lecompton forces. The opposition COM
posed of Republicans, Americans and Anti
Lecompton Democrats have swept the
whole State outside of the city, clean up
on the Congressional ticket. Fwenty-nine
out of thirty-three members of Congress in
New York are Anti-Leccmpton. The Re-
publican State ticket is elected by some
10000 majority. The Anti-Lecompton
majority in the State is 10000.
In Michigan, the Republicans at the
November election lost one member of
Congress, Mr.. Howard, and perhaps two,
but elects republican State ticket by over
5000 majority. Isl b
In Wisconsin the Republicans lose one
member of Congress; Judge Larabee, Le-
compton, being without doubt elected over
Mr.. Billinghurst.
In Illinois the entire Congressional del
egation is Anti-Lecompton--being four
Republicans and five Democrats.
New Jersey elects an entire Apti-Le-
compton Congressional delegation--four
Republicans and one Democrat. ilU
Delaware, although Slave State, has
cut down the Democrat majority on the
State and on the Congressional tickets.
Massachusetts sends an entire Republi-
can Congressional delegation. Banks is
elected Governor by 17,259 over both his
Democratic and American competitors.
At the November elections the Opposi-
tion elected So members, and the Lecomp-
tonites % members. The footings of the
October and November elections will stand
nearly as follows upon the Congressional
elections: .i-oa z44al 81 j. E,

badley. In the first District they suffered
Howard, Republican, to be defeated by
Cooper, Democrat, by 4S votes, when in

SMUT IN WHAr William MYERS ~ writes ite

SMUT IN WHAr.-William Myers writes
to the California Red Bluff Beacon, from
Pleasant Grove Farm, Tehama county,
that he has been farmer in California for
the last four years. He has been endeav-
oring to ascertain the cause of smut in
wheat. He threshed out a portion of his
seed wheat by a machine and a. portion by
horses. He kept them separate and sowed
them on the same kind of land. That
which was ihrashed by horses had no smut,
while that which was thrashed by ma
chine had considerable smut. He says he
could trace the smut to furrow where
the machine grain was sown, and the other
was perfectly free from smut, both being
clean seed when sown. This is an impor-
tant matter for farmers. He says:
My theory is, that it is the bruised ker-
nels that have not vitality enough in them
to mature the grain, but enou9h h to pro-
duce stalk and head. and the grain blasts
or smuts. / am satisfied that the above
has great deal 10 do in regard to smut,
and if farmers would thrcsh their seed with
horses or the fail Ihe old fashioned way,)
it would not be two years before the crv Of
smut, would be heard no more in our land.

SUICIDE IN CoURr.-A suit which has

old and well known citizen of the county
was defendant, terminated Ly the jury re-
turning a verdict that. the defendant-who
hsd been agent for Shrewsbury and Price,
millers--had in hand unaccounted for over
$4,000. At the time of the announce
ment of the verdict the Courtroom was
densely crowded. Mewherer took a posi-
ton to the right Of the Judges desk, in
front and between the jury-box, and the
Judge, and as soon as the verdict was read,
drew pistol and shot himself through the
heart. As might be expected, there was
much excitement, and the Court imnedi-

The New York m Election

II The, fact should be made, distinct that
the triumph in New York State, upon. the
State ticket, is pure Republican victory.
The union of the opposition against Lee
eomptonism was only one Congressional
nominations, while three State tickets were
run and the glorious success of the! Repub-
licans lsrdue to the business Of their cause.
Tho American politiciuns, at the State Con-
yention, refused alliance with the Republi-
cans, even after the two conventions had
agreed upon a mutual platform, but the
priyates in the Congressional, Districts, who
fought for principle, not plunder, took their
hom: matters into their own hands and
came uplike men and patriots. and stood
shoulder to shoulder with the Republicans
upon Congressional tickets The Post
chronicles the election of Gov. Morgan as
pure Republican triumph, and says: a. q

ton was given to Judge Parker, the Bu-
chanan candidate for Governor. They CO.
operated to the best of their power with
the Custom House Germans, and the Bu-
chanan Irish, forgetting for the moment
their plans for altering the naturalization
laws. We have the authority of Nativist

The streets of Millersburg, for a week

figure is about as high as has been paid,

money IN their pockets than they anticipat-
ed having when they left home. @

by Coshocton county, to wit: 294.

glaring figures 2s5 majority for Burns in
Cosboclon County-when no such result
was ever published by any paper or person
only those papers that l believed prayed
all the time for my defeat, and now refuse
to do me justice. ''' 'E'ii .11ss'

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.
The New York Election.

The result of the election in the Empire
State. as in the Keystone, is an overwhelm-
inp rebuke to the Administration. The
reported majorities for Governor in the
State give Morgan $3.50, Parker ss.7oe
-Morgan's majority 1908, which will be
varied somewhat, through not materially,
by the official returns. The vote for Gerrit
Smith is so small that no note of it is made
n the reported majorities. New York
City gave Parker 1852 majority, and St.
Lawrence county Morgan $500. = i
The New York Assembly will stand
100 Opposition, % Democrats. In 1851,
10 Opposition, So Democrats. The Al
bany Journal says: .
The apparent Opposition majority last
year was beutralized by the fact that sever
al Of the Americans acted with the Demo
erals. This year the Republicans have a
nlaiority exclusive of those elected as
"Union" or "American" members.
The rebuke of the Administration in the
election of Members of Congress is most
significant. Twenty-nine Opposition Mem
bsrs are elected out of the thirty three
chosen. In the present Congress the New
York delegation stands % Opposition to
10 Administration. The Albany Evening
Jorunal ofthe 5th thus records the grand
Congressional triumph:
Tho additional returns received to-day
indicate the election of Van Wyck, Haskin
and Kenyon, which were yesterday in
doubt. This leaves the Administration
without single Congressman outside of
the City of New York.
Scathing as is the rebuke given to LIE
compton by the loss of twenty mine out of
the thirty-three Congressional District in
the State, its full force cannet be appreciat-
ed except by looking at the popular vote.
Even Pennsylvania did not roll up one so
decisive. -..s
The A,ti- Leconapton majority in the
Stale Is oUer 60, 900.
Below is table of the majorities re-
ported in each District, with the exception
Of the City Districts of New York. But
it is safe to infer that the aggregate ma
jorities Of Maclay, Cochrane and Barr, af
ter deducting those for Clark amount to
over 4,s00; which leaves clear Opposi-
tion majority Of 10000. -
