TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.
THE DEMOCRATS SWEEP THE
FIELD.
Virginia and Ohio All Right, and Iowa
Swings into Line with Democrat
ic Governor.
New York Makes Large Legislative
Gains.

Tuesday was great day for the
Democrats. They gained signal vic
tories in every state holding elections
on that day. In Virginia, McKin-
ney's majority over Malone for Gov
ernor will reach nearly or quite So
600, and both branches of the Legis-
lature are nearly two for one in favor
of the Democrats.
In Ohio Campbell is elected Gov
ernor over Foraker by from ten to
fifteen thousand plurality, and the
Democrats claim the election of their
entire State ticket by pluralities of
from 1000 to 5000. The Democrats
have majority of ten on joint ballot
in the Legislature. This will give
the Democrats a United States Sena-
tor from that State.
In New York the Democrats made
a gain of 20 Assemblymen and four
Senators, reducing the Republican
majority on joint ballot from % to Is.
In Iowa Boise, Democrat, was elect
ed Governor by plurality of about
1000, together with the entire
State ticket, and there is some
probability that the Democrats
will have a slight majority
in the Legislature. Senator Ali
son is reported as being very much
alarmed for fear that the Democrats
have the Legislature and will send a
Democratic L. S. Senator from that
State.
In Massachusetts the Republican
plurality was reduced from $4,000 t
5000, and the Democrats gained
three senators and eighteen members
of the Legislature.
Pennsylvania is joined to her idols
and rolled up her usual Republican
majority of something over sixt!
thousand.
The returns from Nebraska arr
rather meagre, but it is conceded t.
the Republicans by safe majorities.
In Maryland the Democrats sus
tanned some losses, but will still hav
a majority in both branches of tn
Legislature.
New Jersey elects Albeit, Demo
crat, Governor by plurality of abOu
twelve thousand, and the Democrat
have a majority of thirteen on join
ballot in the Legislature.
In Mississippi the entire Democrat
ic ticket was elected without Opposi
ton.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, lSS9.-EX-

A committee of negro preachers
called on Mr.. Harrison last week and
endeavored to get him to commit
himself to the absurd scheme, propos.
ed by the recent convention of negro
Baptists held at Indianapolis, of ask
ing Congress to appropriate $j0,OO0,-
600 to aid the negroes of the South to
emigrate to the West. The same
committee afterwards called on the
Attorney General and presented
long string of alleged political out
RACES at the South. From all that
can be learned they did not receive
much consolation from either of the
gentlemen visited. They only got
some very indefinite and diplomatic
promises.
L. B. Prince, the Governor of New
Mexico, makes strong showing in
his annual report to the Secretary of
the Interior, in favor of the admis-
sion of that Territory as State. 1t
is expected that the democrats in
Congress will make a determined
fight during the coming session for
the admission of New Mexico and
Idaho. ...4.
The Government directors of the
Union Pacific railroad, in their an
nual report, say that the interests of
the United States demand early &C
ti0n of Congress to secure the pay
ment by this company of its indebt-
edness to the Government. They in
dorse the (Outhwaite) bill, which
was pending when the last Congress
adjourned. 1t remains to be seen
whether the millionaire lobby will
be successful in again defeating this
much needed legislation during the
coming Congress. Representative
Cultivate proposes to re-introduce
the same bill as soon as Congress
meets, and to use his utmost endeav-
or to push it through the House.
There is little doubt of its being pass
ed by the House, but the danger lies
in the Senate, which has always
been inclined, for obvious reasons, to
be extremely lenient in its dealings
with the Pacific railroads.
President Harrison is understood
to have sat down somewhat heavily
on Secretary Noble in regard to the
dismissal of those employees of the
Pension Office whose pensions were
re>rated by the late Commissioner
Tanner. The Secretary wanted to
dismiss them all, but the President
has given him orders that none are
to be dismissed unless it can be fully
shown that they are guilty Of having
violated the law. The only one OF
them dismissed 50 far is a democrat,
and it is only fair to Mr.. Harrison to
say that he was removed before the
matter was brought to the Presidents
attention.
The Postmaster General has back
ed down from the dictatorial position
he assumed towards the telegraph
companies some months ago, and has
! set the rates to be paid by the Gov
,, eminent for official telegraph mes
sages much higher than the price he
then named. The rates are about
the same as those charged everyone
by the b. & O. telegraph company
when it was swallowed by the West
