estimate The reports from New York City and
from large communities In the interior OF the

upon the situation from q practical and
common-sense stand point. It Is not a personal
matter. 1t is not proper to speak OF it either
as my victory or as my defeat. 1t was con.

supremacy of certain well-defined principles.

more earnestness than he had previously dis

THE "OLD ROMANS" IDEA
COLUMBUS, O., Nov 9-Judge Thurman said
Wednesday night that so far as he himself
was concerned he cared nothing for
the defeat of the Democracy. He much
regretted the defeat OF the party, how
ever, because he saw the mischief the
Republican party might do. Already
he saw intimations in the Republican press OF
a return of the carpet-bagging system in the
South, and he feared the party, if it obtained
complete control of Congress, would seek to
insure it's continuance in power by admitting
Dakota, Idaho and Montana
Referring to the tariff Mr.. Thurman said the
President should not be blamed for raising the
issue. I'VE were right on the question and
we buried the bloody shirt completely but the
trouble was that the manufacturers who are
enjoying protection spent too much money
in elections. think they were very foolish to
do SO. If this state of affairs continues we
shall some time be on great popular upris-
ing in favor OF a change. I don't think the
Republicans will do any thing with the tariff
they have got both branches OF Con-
gress." Mr.. Thurman said he slept splendidly
on Tuesday night. His health is splendid, and
he says he will now return to work more profit
able than "stump:ng.'' "Tell the people that
1 am entirely comfortable said the Judge,

SENATE AND HOUSE.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10-The latest returns
from West Virginia, by which the Republicans
gain three Congressman in that State, un-
doubtedly give the House of Representatives
to the Republicans by small margin. Pres
ent indications are that the Republican ma
jority In that body will not be less than five.
Three or four districts which are yet in doubt
may slightly increase this figure.
The Republicans have carried the Legisla-
lures in Delaware and West Virginia, which
will elect United States Senators to succeed
Salisbury and Kenna, Democrats The Re-
publicans will therefore retain the control OF
the Senate and have working majorittes in
both branches of Congress. -..
