The elections in the new northwest
ern states last week resulted i'm clean
sweeps for the republicans in North
and South Dakota and Washington and
nearly SO in Montana, i'm which state
the democrats only succeeded in elect
ing their governor, and that by very
small majority, while the republicans
elect their member of congress and Sc
cure majority in the state legislature.
The net result to the republican party
at large by these elections. is eight
United States senator's, five congress
men and four states to add to the re-
publican column for 1892, making IA to-
tai of thirteen or fourteen votes in the
electoral college. This will jog the
center of gravity to point outside the

The Hon. Clifton X. Breckenridge, of

edge of elections in the south, and he
admits that there are possibly three or
four districts in the south "where at

were committed with reference To the

by money in single district in the

thirteen states in the union that have
anything less than that" Mr.. Breckin-
ridge when he goes to Washington will
occupy the seat to which the Hon. John
Clayton was elected, and because of
that election was murdered. This Mr.
Breckenridge is the right man to talk
about election frauds. He ought TO

THE recent French elections, though
to some extent indecisive, show that
the republic has escaped defeat, though
it can scarcely be considered victorious.
There will have to be new elections i'm
III districts, as none of the candidates
in those districts polled majority of
all the votes cast, which must be done
10 constitute valid election. The sup
porters of the republic elected their
candidates in pa, and the anti-republi-
cans in 100 districts. Among the re-
publicans elected there are 16 moderates
and 81 radicals. The opposition MEM
bers elected include SO royalists, 81
Bonapartists and % Boulangists. Bou-
LANCER himself was elected in Montmar-
trie, but the government has decided
that all votes cast for him are void
The event shows that the formidable
combination against the republic has
failed, but there are indications that
il might have succeeded if only legi-
innate methods had been used against
it. In spite of all the power of the
government, the avowed followers of
Boulanger in the legislature will be
decidedly more numerous than they
were last year, and the republicans of
all shades in the next chamber, allowing
for all possible gains in the second
ballotings, will not muster more than
$50, as against nearly 400 in the last.
The result, therefore, is not encourag.
ing to the friends of the republic, though
they may be consoled by the reflection
that they have been saved from the
catastrophe which seemed inevitable.
II France remains republioit will be
the result of the wisest statecraft.

According to kilograms from Pekin,
the emperor and his privy council are
now celebrating upon memorial
from Censor Su, demanding the expul-
sion from the country of all Americans
in Chinese employ. Not only is this
drastic step in contemplation against
Americans who occupy subordinate po-
sitions, but there is strong agitation
in favor of greater restriction upon the
presence of American merchants and
missionaries in treaty ports.
