Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1874-11-19

Twenty-four States and three Territories
held elections for Congressmen-the most of
them also voting for State officers-on Tues
day, Nov 8. In most of the States the Demo Gratis
have made large gains, particularly in Congress-
men. The most astounding change is in
Massachusetts,, where the Democracy elect
their Governor and several members Of Con-
gress, defeating Ben. Butler in the Sixth Dis
trict In New York Samuel ]. Tilden is
elected Governor over Gen. John A. Dix.
Kansas is Republican by about $4,000 ma
jority, Gov. Osborn being reelected. Mis-
sour gives Democratic majority of 40, 600 or
30, 600, which insures the defeat of Carl
Schurz for the United States Senate. Louisi-
ana (Which voted Nov. q gives q small ma
jority for the Democratic State ticket, and
returns four Democratic and two Republican
members Of Congress-. Nevada elects q Demo
cratic Governor, Republican Congress
man, and Republican Legislature, which
! ENSURES the return Of q Republican to the
United States Senate. Wisconsin elects six
Republicans and two Democrats to Congress.
Gaston's Oem.) majority in Massachusetts, is
1917. the rest Of the Republican ticket being
elected. The Legislature is largely Repub-
lican. giving the United States Sem
. Democratic majority Of 5000 to L, 1000. In
New Jersey, Judge Bedle, Democrat, is elect
ed Governor by 5000 majority. In Tennessee
Judge Porter, Democrat, has a majority of
upward of 10000. The Democrats elect nine
Of the ten congressman. Kentucky elects
. full Democratic delegation to Congress.
Georgia, Maryland and Texas ditto. Delaware
is Democratic by small majority. Rhode
Island, Minnesota, Kansas, South Carolina
and Florida stand by the Republicans. In
Michigan, the Republican State ticket is elect.
ed by .small majority. In Vermont, Judge
Poland is defeated for Congress by Dennison,
Independent Republican. In Pennsylvania
Latta, Democrat, is elected Lieutenant Gov
ernor by 5000 majority. The Con-
gressional delegation stands II Democrats
and 10 Republicans. The Legislature is veyy
close. In Illinois the vote is also close on
State officers. Ten Of the nineteen Con-
gressmen are Democrats. There is no doubt
but that the Opposition will have q very de-
cided majority in the next House of Repre-
sentatives. The only question is as to the
majority, which cannot be accurately deter
mined at this writing, a. in many districts the
official vote will be required to decide who are
the successful candidates. The Chicago
Inter Ocean, Republican, comedies the Opyo-
sition majority of 81 in the House. The
Tribune, on the other hand, places it as high
as 90. The former figure is probably nearest
the mark

Death in Gentry County During o
Storm

The following particulars CT 4 sad ao-
cidcnt which occurred during the storm
Of Thursday of last week. just over the
Andrew county line, in Gentry county,
is from the st. Joe Herald:
y Mrs. Whelan had been in the field
assisting her husband, and as she saw
the storm approaching, started for the
house. Cn the way it became necessa-
ry to pass an old stable, the roof OF
which WAS fastened down by large
poles. which had been secured by some
hickory withs that had become rotted
from age. As Mrs. W reached the Vi
cinity of the stable the tornado COM
menced with all its fury. One OF the
large poles on the roof OF the stable
was upliited and thrown violently down,
the butt end striking the women in the
head. crushing in the skull. and killing
her instantly. The accident was not dis
covered for some ten minutes, when Mr..
w. came from the field himself to find
his wife lying Il mangled corpse.
Mrs. W. leaves Il husband and five
children TO mourn her loss.

State of the Soul After Death.

EDITOR REPuBLICAN-I wish to offer few re-
marks on the doctrine now being promulgated In
our midst; these thoughts have been suggested
by hearing sermon last night on 1.-The State of
the Soul after Death" 3" As We listened to, this
discourse, not only were We amazed at the as
sumption, d0gmatism, and defiant ton. of the
speaker, bat felt that If his opinions were based
ON irutil-which happily they are not-au hopes
ana Tears ss 10 the fidure would become idle and
Cease, aud thr creed of the pre- lane LET us eat
ami drink for Tomorrow we die. would be gen.
orally accepted. What, then. were the views ad-
Vanced, which we deem SO obnoxious and peri
lous. They are crude speculations. unsustnined
~ reason or scripture; arrogant aud dogmntic
assumptions, implying that all the distinguished
theologianS and scholars of the past We're blind
as moles and bats, and he alone has been favored
with eyes to see the light of the truth; flm,y
and baseless criticisms, the offspring of forrcDnr
conclusions, and utterly without weight 4 fOyer.

Mr.. EDITOR-"Farmer' still adheres

He makes these statements without
caring about their truth or falsity.
1t is part OF his stock of argument. 1t
serves his purpose, and what does he
care what the facts are, as long as
he can make it appear SO to his readers :?
With the exception of this unpar-
donable weakness, he will do.
Now, TO lis reasoniugs. There are
none OF the leading questions of the day
but what either party is equally divided
on; :; 1.-THE names are all we have left -
They are waiting for the farmers and
laboring men to take hold of them, in
fuse new life in them. and shape them
to their wills" Yet he contends that
the farmers and laboring men can't
manage one party, and fails to en-
plain how they can succeed with his
plan Of controlling two.
He is not opposed, however. to form
ing a new party. if it can be explained
to him how to do it without having two
parties.
give some more of his reasoning:
"The present Republican party was
