Mr.. PulitZcr's View Of the Sit
uatiOn.

Tho blowing Of Republicans is over
the blow ut Rcpublicanism remains.
It is u death blow. Last Tuesday
decided the election of Samuel }.
Tildcn Just as surely as tho October
elections of four years ago decided
the defeat of Greeley. The result Of
last Tuesday may DO summed up, IN
brief, as follows:
l. The entire Democratic state
ticket in Indiana is elected after the
most extraordinary political contest
ever known in the history OF tins
country, by a majority of at least
5000, probably l",oM votes
g This secures to Tildcn and lien
bricks next November !NAjanaS 10
electoral votes without tho remotcst
shadow Of 4 doubt by at least 20,"oo
majority.
2. This secures every Northern
State that is now Democratic for ~.
den and lIendricks-"r at least "a
$otrs to.vit: New York IS; Ne"
Jersey, 9; Connecticut, 6; "tScon'
sin, 10; Indiana, 10.
4. This secures every Southern
State, South Carolina included, WIFE
1873 electoral votes.
5, This secures, without doubt, fh'
Paclficc States, now strongly Demo
cratic, or at least the nlnc votes o
California and Oregon.
6, This secures in all at least -
electoral votes Of States now Dem"
cratic or thirty-scven molo than III

morning ut daybreak they discovered

coal pit, but after chasing him for q
couple Of hundred yards they thought
no more OF tho affair. In due time the
pit was completed, covered with dirt and
ignited. Very jubilantly the Russians
watched the first smoke wreaths curl
upward. They had fairly captured q
Dutchmau's coal pit. Suddenly, as they
were dancing exultingly around md
