ST. LOUIS, November D. Official
returns give Ford. Greenbacker. for
Congress in the ninth district, %
majority.
SAN Francisco, November b
This mornings papers make the vote
of California practically anti-Demo-
cratic. This change from last nights
reports is due less to any turn in the
reports of the precincts than TO a
revision of the tabulated state
ments. These differ considerably,
and there are evidences of loose
work sufficient to discredit all esti.
mates. The estimate of 1000 last
night was too high. The best opin-
ion seems to be that Garfield will
have a plurality of from 500 to 1000.
Nevada will give Hancock about
600 majority.

don, Democrat, for Congress in the

WASHINGTON, November "a
special to the Star from New York
says it is admitted at the Republican
headquarters that the Democrats
have a majority of one in the Sell
ate. At Tammany Hall it is admit
ted that the House will be Republic
can by majority of 10 TO Is. There
is some talk in the city about q pos
sibility that Dowd may yet be shown
to be elected mayor, and, as the re-
port spreads, ii creates considerable
excitement. The general belief,
however. is that Grace is elected.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. November ;.
The Montgomery idrertiser says
the lawlessness and oppression and
profligacy and plumber of the Re-
publican party compelled the solidi-
~ of the South. To that solidity more
than before, she must remain
steadfast and imInoYable under our
benign home rule. We have pros
pered to q degree that has astonished
our friends and confused our enc
mics. There need not be and Will
not be any let-up in the wonderful
progress of the South under the re-
CINE, whatever il may be, which the
Republican party seek TO inaugIi-
rate. 1t may indeed prove l,less-
ing to the extent that il will bring
about great self-reliancc and great
energy and wiser efforts in develop
ing the wonderful wealth and I'M
limited resources which kind Prov
idence has bestowed upon the sun
ny South. The sun will still shine.
gentle showers viii fall, secdiine
and harvest viii bring their bless
ing, and the great staple must con-
time TO be power in the CONNER
cial world. while our coal and iron,
and other minerals will Weld wealth
which the world does not dream oE.
Let the solid South be solid ALWAYS
for home rule and honest govern
ment. Now give is greatest vig;-
lance and wisest counsels, not to
national politics, or conflicts or pas
sions Of national parties, but 90
the building up and advancing Of
our educational aud moral interests
here in the South. II NAV be that
Garfield will prove a very different
man from WHIST his past record indi-
