Eeh0es From the 'sFieid OF 0assle''-
To Whoss Does the hiss,s
lSeIS0xs

As the returns come In, II becomes
more apparent that the Republicans
have made pretty clean sweep. The
election OF Benjamin Harrison and I>eyi
L. Morton is conceded by the Demo-
Gratis, and they have good comfortable
majority In the electoral college. In
Colorado the entire Republican State
ticket is elected by majorities ranging
from u, 90 Ia 1900, and tho next Ge0-
cral Assembly will have u majority Of
51 on JOINT ballot. Garfield county also
came 10 the front with u solid plia!anx
Of Republican majoritirs.
Undoubtedly the main cause OF Gro
yer Cleyeiand's defeat WAS the stand
lie had taken OH the question Of tariff
revision, and likely the Indifference Of
New York Democrats assisted materi-
ally In making llarrison's victory more
complete. In that State, lIiil Demo
craft WAS elected by "a majority equal 10
that Of unrrison's. However, te the
cause what II may, the fact Of the mat
ter remains that the Democracy failed

a number of towns on the Chicago, Milwaukee

estimate the damage done. The extent Of the
territory over which tho storm swept was
about a hundred miles in length, and nearly
mile in width. To the farming community,
the blow is n severe one. No deaths have as
yet been reported, but loss to crops horses and
cattle is enormous.

known there Two men and two horses were
damage was done throughout the valley. Rain
fell in torrents, while the lightning flashes
were sharp, vivid and almost incessant. The
streets were flooded with water, and in un-
paved portions deep gulies were worn, espe-
cially on hllsides, the streets in Hyde park
and Providence faring the worst. AT Jermyn-

their limbs and leaves, and all growing gardens
and crops were totally destroyed.
ROCK ISLAND, Ills, July 6.-The storm
which passed over Rock Island county,
Wednesday night, was the most disastrous
that has visited this section in years. The
oat crop has suffered greatly. In the upper
portion of Rock Island county, streams are
swollen to an alarming extent destroying pub
lie roads, and in some instances causing the
loss OF stock. A farmer named Alvin Cox,
while driving from a celebration in one town

freshet and, with his horse, drowned in the
current of a stream that was hardly discorna-
