AGANDID OPINION.

The following from the st. Louis Re
publican is in marked contrast with arii-
cles which have appeared IN some other
democratic sheets. The Republican has
the candor to tell the truth about the re-
cent elections. and does not claim that
democratic victories are the results, and
that the present mugwump administration
has been sustained in Its course by the
people:
the defeat OF VIM. r. Morrison of ILL
nois for congress, in a district which has
been in the habit of yielding a democratic
majority of two thousand Tor twelve years
past, and the humble dispatch from
Speaker John g. Carlisle, claiming his
election by the. Insignificant majority Of
I've TO six hundred, in Kentucky dls-
trict which returned him to congress four
times in succession without oppOsi-
ton and q fifth time by q majority OF
six thousand, are the most conspicu-
Gus results of Tuesdays elections, and
TO democrats the most Notifying. Car
Isle is the democratic speaker of the
house in the present congress, and MOrri-
son its recognized leader In all business
measures. Both are prominent as adVO-
Gates of tariff reduction. Yet one is de-
feated outright, and the other barely es-
cspes q similar fate by the skin of his
teeth. And this is not all. The demo-
cratic state of Indiana which gave Cleve-
land and Hendricks q majority of 6 500
two years ago give a similar republican
majority now, and displaoes three demo-
cratic congressman with three repu bllcans.
President Cleveland's own state dis.
places three democrats IN congress
with three republicans, and elects a re-
publican legislature which will return
Warner Miller to the senate; Eve demo-
cratic representatives In congress are lost
in the state OF Virginia, two In Kentucky,
one In North Carolina, two in lows, and
two in Michigan; and ii Is now certain
that the democratic majority of forty-three
in the present house will be reduced to
twenty-five, If not still lower, in the next.
Add to these large reduction of the usual
democratic msjorities in Kentucky, Vir-
ginia and other states, and we have q stu
alton humilIatiug enough TO deaden the
| shout of triumph of democrats over their
victory two years ago, ever If 1t does not
justify the republican boasts of being able
to reverse that result two years hence.

It was just moving away and he ran

could not have jumped in without assist

ton, and believe Fotheringham helped
him in.

as his helper had left the car he shut TIT

A aRFAT MISTAKE

has heretofore been made in the treatment
of rheumatism, neuralgia, and nervous or
