"There is a tide III the affairs O.
men, which, when taken at its flood
leads on to victory" This saying is
equally true of political parties. Al
accident as it were, caused the origl
nal break to Democratic victory
The personal spleen, picque, pride
and blind prejudice of a few of the
brainy men of the free-thinkine
and industrious working northern
States, like Sampson, laid theil
strong arms around the pillars Of
that beautiful Republican structure
which had been twenty-five years III
building, and with n mighty eff
fort dragged it down in a day. True,
they 60 down in the ruins, willing to
die that they may but destroy Their
personal enemies. 1t is of no use
for Republicans now to lament the
action of these men, nor to spend
precious time in wondering why
they did it. The flood gates were
open, and Cleveland saw the tide
that was to lead to fortune.
However much the politicians of
both parties may ignore the fact,
the honest enforcement of the civil
service law is the tide which must
lead on to fortune, and lodge the
Democratic party in power or re-
place the Republicans there. If
these two parties disregard its pro
visions, there will come another
party, pledged to the administration
of government under this law. The
people in their sovereignty are de-
manding it. That political rewards
in a country so honey-combed with
Office is dangerous and corrupt, even
practical politicians will not deny;
and the people see clearly the ne
cessity of applying practical bust
ness methods to the official work of
the government. That the Demo-
cratic party does not appreciate this
fact, is clear; and the Republican
party, although it has in a measure
carried out some of its provisions,
yet it has not thoroughly endorsed
and acted upon the principles in
volved. The recent elections show
the appreciation of Cleveland's
course by the people; and whilst the
Republicans, judging from the past
history of Democratic success, may
reasonably hope that the abundance
of rope now in the possession ofthat
party may hang it, yet 1t is well
enough for the Republicans, like the
negro on the steamboat when an eX-
plosion occurred, to stop long enough
to make the inquiry, "Whar is
we now"

A Safeguard.

The fatal rapidity with which slight
Colds and Coughs frequently develop
into the grayest maladies Of the throat
and lungs, Is a consideration which should
impel every prudent person to keep at
hand, as a household remedy, a bottle of
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL.
Nothing else gives such immediate relief
and works so sure o cure IN all affections
of this class. That eminent physician,
Prof. F. Sweetzer, of the Maine Medical
School, Brunswick, Me-, says
medical science has produced no other ano-
dyne expectorant so good as AYERS CHERRx
PICTORIAL. II is invaluable for diseases Of the
throat and lungs"
The same opinion is expressed by the
wellknown DR.. L. j. Addison, Of Chicago,
H., who says
81 have never found. in thirty five years of
continuous study and practice Of medicine, any
preparation Of SO great value as AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL, for treatment of diseases Of the
throat and lungs. 1t not only breaks up colds
and cures severe coughs. but is more effective
than anything else In relieving even the most
serious bronchial and pulmonary affectiana."

Good Results in every Case.

d. A. Bradford, wholesale paper deal
er Chattanooga, Tenn, writes, that he
was seriously afflicted with a severe cold
that settled on his lungs had tried many
remedies without benefit. Being indu-
ced to try DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, did SO and was entirely
cured by use of a few bottles. Since
which time he has used it in his family
for Cough and Colds with best results.
This is the experience of thousands
whose lives have been saved by this
Wonderful Discovery. Trial Bottles free

FITZHUGH LEE.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 4.-Seven cities and
twenty counties complete show a Demo-
cratic majority of over 1900. One city
and four counties show a Republican major
ity of 2,i14; net Democratic majority in
twenty-one counties and eight cities, 11,O15.
Partial returns from O good many other
counties show Democratic majorities. There
has been a net Democratic gain of 1912 in
329 voting precincts, including Richmond.
By the same ratio lees majority will ap-
proximate $4,000. The Democrats will
probably have two-thirds of the senate and
sixty out of one hundred members of the
house.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 4-The election was one
Of the quietest in the history of Baltimore.
The Democrats elected every man on their
ticket, including clerk Of the criminal court.
clerk of the circuit court, clerk OF the court
of common pleas, register CT wills, sheriff
and surveyor.
The total vote polled was: Democratic,
B3,975; Fusion, 90, 1856; Democratic majority,
1859. List Wednesday Hodges, Democrat,
had only 2,i36 majority. Besides those
named above, the Democrats elected the en-
tire delegation from Baltimore city, eighteen
in number, to the legislature, and the two
state senators.
Advices from all parts of the state show
q large Democratic majority for comptroller
and clerk of the court of appeals-the only
two state offices being contested for. The
Democrats will have in the legislature on
joint ballot a majority of about forty, a
gain of three over last year, thus insuring
the reelection of German to the United
States senate.

AYERS
Cherry PectoraI

Is not q. new claimant for popular conf
dence, but a medicine which Is to-day
saving the lives of the third generation
who have come into being since it was
first offered to the public.
There Is not q household In which this
invaluable remedy has once been In
troduced where its use has ever been
abandoned, and there Is not q person
who has ever given 1t a proper trial
for any throat or lung disease suscep-
tible Of cure, who has not been made
well by it.
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has,
in numberless instances, cured obstinate
cases Of chronic Bronchitis, Laryngitis,
and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients in the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. 1t Is o
medicine that only requires to be taken in
small doses, Is pleasant to the taste, and Is
needed in every house where there are
children, as there IS nothing so good as
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL for treat
ment Of Group and Whooping Cough.
These are all plain facts, which can be
verified by anybody, and should be re-
membered by everybody.

New York,

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The latest returns
show that the legislature will undoubtedly
be Republican. The assembly will probably
stand Republicans s~eventy-eight, Democrats
fifty, and the state senate Republican
twenty-one, Democrats eleven. The judges
probably elected are: Supreme court, John
Sedgwick; common pleas, Edward Paterson,
and city court, David McAdam. The re-
turns from the state come in slowly, but
there is little doubt that the entire Demo-
cratic state ticket is elected. Gen. Carr's
friends were hopeful that he would run SUI
ficiently ahead of his ticket to be elected,
even though the rest of the Republican
ticket was defeated. No figures have been
given to show the strength Of the Prohibit
ton vote, but it is believed to nave been
larger than that which st. John received
last year, which was $4,000. The majority
for Hill is now estimated at from II, 900 to
10000. Jones, the Democratic nominee for
lieutenant governor, was about 1000 behind
his ticket,

DEsMoINRs, Nov. 5. The Republican

ballot, with the senate in doubt. Foul hun
dred and forty precincts give Larabee SO, AIS,
Whiting 55,061; Republican net gain, 1,474.
Latest returns give Republicans fifty-nine
members of the lower house and twenty-nine

Connecticut.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 4-The cleo
ton in Connecticut was for the choice Of
Twelve senators-one-half Of the senate
from the odd numbered districts, and for a
full house of 249 members. Nothing of i'm
portance is pending for action by the COM
ing legislature, therefore very little general
interest was felt in the result. The votes in
nearly FALL quarters was light. In New
Haven, James p. Piggett, whose action in
the free railroad pass episode in the house,
last winter, created quite a commotion, and
which led to his suspension by the speaker,
was reelected by sos majority. The Re-
publican two members from Waterbury
and one from Meriden. In New Haven the
Democrats gain one member. The Demo-
Gratis gain two senators from the First and
Seventh districts.

Mississippi.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. A special to
the Times Democrat from jackson, Miss,
says: 'The election in this state was unin-
teresting, there being only n ticket in the
field. In half a dozen counties there were
independent candidates for the legislature,
and in these counties only was there any
effort made to bring out the vote. One or
two independents will probably be elected
representatives, the legislature being Demo
cratic. In a few counties there has been a
fusion with independents for county offices,
and some of the tickets have been successful.
The vote polled in the state hardly exceeds
one-third of the full vote, the negroes gen.
orally, under the advice of Congressman
Lynch, colored, refraining from voting. One
disturbance is reported at Grenada, where
Jack Hebron was shot in the leg and will
lose the limb. The ARRAY has no political
significance.

TRENTON, Nov. 4.-Last year the state
senate was composed of eleven Republicans
and ten Democrats and the house of assem-
bly, of t~hirty-six Republicans and twenty
four Democrats, giving the Republicans O
majority of thirteen upon a joint ballot.
Nine of the senators holding over are Re-
publicans, SO they will control that body at
the next session, two of the seven senatorial
districts having gone Republican.

D~irectiou-The Other States.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4-Returns containing
nearly complete figures in forty-seyen coun-
ties and careful estimates of pluralities in
the remaining thirteen have now been re-
ceived. From these it appears that the total
plurality for Davenport outside of New
York and Kings counties will amount tc
1884. This will be overcome by the plu-
ralities for Hill in New York and Kings
counties, which amound to S. $50, leaving q
net plurality for Hill in the state of 1854.
New York city complete, gives Hill 1872, 727:
Davenport 1883; Hills plurality AZ, S44. A
large number of warrants were issued by
Judge Duffy in cases of illegal registration.
Most of the cases are in the Second assem-.
bly, district. The Tombs court was in ses-
sion for several hours extra time.
The Sun says: ''The elections in this
state resulted in a sweeping Democratic
victory. Governor Hill was elected by
about 1000 plurality. The entire Demo.
cratic state ticket elected, although Gen.
Jones ran sadly behind his ticket. Governor
Hills majority in his OWL county exceeded
that given TO Mr.. Cleveland by about IL, 900.
There were larger Democratic gains in Al
bany, Monroe and other interior counties.
In this city Governor Hills majority is
about As, 900, and in Kings county about
9,2OU.
THE largest Democratic gains were made
in the country districts. The Democrats
send a solid delegation from this city to the
state senate. There were some Democratic
gains in the assembly elections, but at this
hour the Republicans appear to have a ma
jority in both branches of the legislature.
''The last senate was composed Of nine
teen Republicans and thirteen Democrats.
The new senate will stand: Republicans,
nineteen; Democrats, thirteen. The last as
sembly contained seventy-three Republicans
and fifty-five Democrats. In the next as
semhly there will be seventy-two Republi-
cans and iifty-six Democrats.
"Mr. Hugh j.. Grant, the Tammany can
didate, was elected sheriff in this city by a
plurality of about 1000. Senator Gibbs,
the so-called wicked senator in the Eighth
district, was defeated by Mr.. Durham.
SIN Brooklyn the local Democratic ticket
is elected by handsome pluralities. Mr..
Wbitney's plurality for mayor being ac-
cording to the latest returns received at this
hour fully as large as the plurality for Gov
ernor Hill in Brooklyn. In Virginia the
Democrats, led by Gen. Lee, have won a
notable victory. Gen. Lee is elected gov
ernor by a huge majority, and the Demo-
Gratis have carried the legislature, thus pre-
the possibility of Malone being re-
to the United States senate.n
