dictate that the republicans carried
the state. Hermaun's majority foI
congress is estimated at two thuu4-

Collector Brooks of this city has
resurrected some history from the
Congressional Record of 1853, show
ing that the choice of the early
pioneers for a name for the territory
was Columbia" as expressed by
their convention which petitioned for
the northern part of Oregon to be set
apart for new territory. Reasons
why the name was changed to Wash
ington are clearly set forth in the
debate upon the subject in congress.
Those reasons seem to US to be as
potent now as they were then. CO.
lumbia would conflict with the name
of our grand Columbia river, and
with British Columbia, and with Co.
lumbia county. Aside from these
consi lerations, we see no reason why
Washington is not a better name.
Nationally It means all to rs that any

The democrats have scored biz
point by inducing Judge Thurman
of Ohio to accept the nomination for
vice president with Cleveland. Still,
in doing SO, they are virtually aban-
doning Indiana to the Republicans.
Thurman is one of the ablest and
purest statesmen in the democratic
party, but he will not be strong
enough to carry Ohio; nor, can he
carry any ordinarily sure republican
state Both parties must play tie
doubtful states if they would win.
Thurman would add to the total OF
the popular vote, perhaps many thou
sands; but it is not popular vote that
elects. If the vice president were
nominated from Indiana, Connect
cut or New Jersey it would be far
more likely to swing needed electoral
votes into line.

Election Returns.


II is difficult to get at reliable cleo
ton returns, Press dispatches and
specials announce close votes in
certain cases, get tired Of reporting
before the official count is made and
thus leave the public without accu-
rate information.
II seems to be accepted as a fact
TINT the Democrats have carried w.
Virginia, no reliable statement of the
vote for Congressman has been an
nounced up to the 26lh, however,
though the complexion of the next
House has been decided by this vote.
1t seems further to be accepted
that the Republicans have the next
House by majority not exceeding
five.
There are forty or fifty Congress
sional districts where the majorities
have been very small we read about
them generally but the result has not
been announced reliably though il is
three weeks after the election.

more, that he really believes in civil

The Southern press has published
lot of "bosh' about the harm thai
might come to the South from Re
publican control of Congress and

1t is very nnreasoning to antici-
pate any such thing. When put to
the test there is deal of conserva
tlsm in the Republican party, ont
side of electioneering methods. So
long ago as when Blaine was speaker
OF the House; it defeated the Force
Bill and the ranks of Republican
conservatives have been greatly
strengthened since that time: Wit
Dess Senator Stewards remarks to
Jno. r. Lynch at the recent Chicago
Convention, "that the day had pass

rate negro rule in the South or
words to that effect.
We believe that the next political
issue which will specially interest the
South will be the question of negro
representation, forced by Republ-
cans and predicted upon the alleged
tenial of free vote and fair count

lily, the South will continue to suf-
er, with the balance of the country.

How il Was Done.


Since the electoral vote Of w. yir
ginia is reliably for Cleveland, tn
failure of the New York Democrac,
in lis duty to the party and tn,
country is again brought to mind
for with New York Cleveland woulc
have been elected.
The following statement of tn,
vote New York city shows that boil
Hill and Cleveland were traded off
by the supporters OF Hewitt and
Grant.
The vote of Brooklyn shows that
Hill and (leveland were sold out
but in both cases the heaviest loss
felt on the electoral ticket as the
greatest efforts of the Republicans
were directed against it.
Outside of these cities Cleveland
ran 10000 behind Hill. There were
gains IN the state in the manufacture
ing centers upon the tariff issue.
we believe Gov. Hill did all he
could for the National ticket-the
matter was Quay and 3 or millions
OF dollars and as much more as he
wanted. We do not doubt that the
National Republican Committee had
money in the New York banks after
the campaign was over. 1t had
more money than 1t could place.
