THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS this fall are
worthy of special notice. In the Twelfth Dis
trict of Pennsylvania, Charles Denison, the
Democratic candidate, was elected in 1866 by a
majority of 1905. Mr.. Denisons death leav-
ing vacancy to be supplied, the same district
was canvassed this fall and now the Republ-
can candidate, Hon. Winthrop w. Ketchum
telegraphs to friend that he has been beaten
after close contest, but that his opponents
majority is less than three hundred. Here is a
Republican gain in single district of neoris
tico thousand uotcs. The issue here was dis.
tinctly national, and the result shows that the
Republican party on all questions of national
policy is stronger to-day than it was veal
ago. The aggregate vote in this district in
1866 was 28 $50.
In the Second District of Ohio, the Demo
Gratis did not nominate a candidate of thei,
own, but east their votes for General Carey
an independent Republican candidate. who
told his allies plainly on the night of the cleo
ton that he should not go to Congress- TO SIM.
port Democratic measures The issue was dis.
tinctly national last week in two districts. one
of which had been Democratic and the othe,
Republican. In the Republican district the
Democrats did not even make nomination
In the Democratic district our friends made 4
gain of two thousand votes and almost carrie,
the district. In view of these facts is anybod,
iooiIsh enough to suppose that the national pol
ley OF the Republican party is to be defeated
or even to suffer any serious check?

STATE STREET CHURcH-The worshipers
at State Street Church, or rather the large
majority of them, were surprised on entering
the sanctuary Sunday morning, to observe their
pastor, Rev. George L. Walker, in the pulpit
Hereturned to the city on Saturday noon, but
few of his parish knew the act. g
After the sermon by Rev. Mr.. Lyman OF
Cincinnati, Ohio, Mr.. Walker arose and read
letter addressed to his church and society. in
which he reiterated his former request for a
dismissal. He stated that last spring he hoped
that summer would bring relief to him. but
the summer came and it has gone, and vet he
was confined to his cane and crutch. He be-
lieved the interests of both church and parish
required that they should have another pastor
and that as soon as possible. He spoke with
much feeling, and the feelings of his parish
toner's were in sympathy.
After reading his letter, Mr.. Walker called
for church meeting to be held this evening,
and parish meeting on Wednesday evening,
at which arrangements would be made for

preach on the next Sabbath in his own pulpit.

The FIRE AT SKowHEGAN came near being
very destructive Que indeed. The Clarion
says many buildings were set on fire from the
flying cinders, and at one time it was thought
impossible to save any portion of the business
part OF the village, but by placing men on the
roofs OF the surrounding buildings and keeping
them wet, the fire was prevented from spread
ing to the brick mill and to the stores on Mad
lson street. A dispatch was sent to Kendall's
Mills and Augusta for help, which was prompt
~ responded to, and in forty minutes the Ken
dalfs Mills. company was on the. ground and
at work, and did good service. The steamer
Cushnoc, from Augusta, arrived at about five
O'Clock, and worked as long as they could get
water. rstJ tt -.

city debt WAS promptly and practically an
swered by call for public mseting-but
the meanness and hypccrisy Of the Casstts
and its editor ought not to psss without re.
mark.
For these many years the Republican par
y hes had control Of the Courcii and Of ev.
cry department Of the city govssnmens--at
timss every officer Of the city has been . par
~ friend Of that paper, and though our
bonds have been in the msrket ~ thirty
cents on the dollar, no action was taken bv
that party With reference thereto. In oil
these yeare the 6dzstte has been - silent a
she grave; neither NJ. Russell as editor
noE Mr.. Russell as citizen hes ever opened
his meuth-and wAyi Simply because II
was not thought popular suppsse Now the
creditors are obtaining judgments-our debt
10 beginning 70 look like vsritabls fact and
thss which the Gesefts and its friends have
20 long left undone, presses now 10 be done.
The Peoples Council are taking action upon
it-this TIE Gazetie knew, but true to ita
instincs Of meannsss il could not refer to
the matter without hypeeritical pretense
that the fault Of non actisn was chargeable
to the Peoples party, which had been in
power but four months, and that that papeI
had been strong friend Of that movement
and anxious for something to be done.
The Gazette had better turn its attention
to county matters while it has time for work
and repentance. The Peoples party viii
take care Of the affairs Of the city, and o.
the affairs Of the county too, within sil
months. "Whoso hath Ears to hear let hin
