Hogem this fall shot up ike rocket
and sbone like lightning fash in a
dark night. She went Republican
This fact was telephoned to the capi-
tai when the returns came in, and
with loud huzzahs. There was great
rejoicing, whooping, wild and excited
hurrahing and throwing or hats at
the other. end of the line. Before
this Republicans were walking around
restless, moaning, shedding tears as
big as horse chestnuts, stepping on
their under lips, and wailing in =
melancholy minor key. The news
from New York was then that Harri- |
son, as far as heard from, was $4,000
behind and still going under, the
North was solid against Dubois, Buck
had withdrawn and his forces had
joined Hayley-Maine, Ohio, Indi-
ana, the solid South, and even that
solid Republican State, Kansas, was
going to hi and the Democracy.
There was not sign of silver lin
ing to the heavy, oulinous, black,
overwhelming cloud of Republican
defeat. Repubs were getting ready
to pay their election bets. 1t was a
cold-bitter cold night for Repub-
Ecans. But the wonderful news from
Hogem worked transformation that
language can't describe. The good
news was teiegraphed all over the
world. "Hogem has gone Repub-
llcan!. Brace up, ye troubled splr-
its, and take courage! The greatest
stronghold Of Democracy has gone up
the flume, so will all the minor strong
holds 90. Brace up and bet high on
| Harrison and all the rest of 'em!"
Immediately after this news spread
throughout the Union, Harrison be-
gan to gain in New York and all
other States, at a rapid rate, and
soon sweeping victory was an
nounced for the Republicans from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. The sill
yer lining appeared to the black
! cloud and soon the whole cloud was
transformed into a solid mass of
cleaning whiteness, and the shining
shean spread from horizon to horizon,
and finally developed into the glow
ing colors painted by the sinking sun
of retiring Democracy. But the true
tale of Hogem's great glory is not all
told. Following the transformation
politically, she forged ahead again
and is still forging, and the great
question of the hour now IS" Wher
will she cease advancing? Wher
will her glory fade?" Echo answers
$ Never! No, never.! Not so long
as the beaming countenance of ole
Sol sheds its food of efulgence OF
the earth below, and the music of th'
spheres floats on the wings of soft
heavenly melody to the great whit
throne on high" We will now brief.
