ihe attempt to pass tho force bill and
other revolutionary tactics OF the Re.
publicans in Congress had much TO dc
with tho unprecedented sicc, ~ OF the
Democracy, but the tariff also had al

pELUDED HUME
Frank Hume appears 20 have learned
little by the crushing defeat that was
administered 10 him in the Eigh ih dis.
trict IL ho is correctly quoted in a news
paper interview this morning. He claims
that the Democrats bought up the negro
votes in the district and voted ia tm IN
droves for General Leo. The r. is
q firm belief here thnt Hume attempted
60 buy enough votes to elect hiUi-
sclf 10 Congress, but he pY.dc
"A dismal failure, and nothing bat con
tempt can be expressed for iaan who
made such sorry figure OF hinseH and
then turns around and charges the
Democratic leaders with doing things
that he knows were not even ne eesa ary.
The trouble with poor. dei'idCd Frank
Hume is that he made gig .Antic mistake
IN running rs bolter. j. . is done for
politically, and the poo pie here think
chat he had better sticF. to business and
give up politics.
NOTHING SAVED BUT TON REED.
The bulletins received this morning
and oil through the day kept increasing
the majority that The Democrats will
nave IN the next u ouse until the average
man-about-town wondered where tho
thing would sto', Congressman Benja-
min Buttcrworth, Of Ohio, was standing
IN front OF ore OF the newspaper Offices,
and when hp read the latest return from
BLEEDING Kansas showing tbat the Re-
publicaDs had lost nearly everything in
that oDr5 "bcastly Republican state
lac said. at looks as though we had
saved nothing out OF the wreck but old
Tom Reed. Some of the Democrats
siWIling around the bullet q boards be-
cC to-day 30 hope that the majority for
thcir party in the House would not grow
',ny more, but as gam after gain WAC re-
ported they concluded that it was just as
well to take the whole victory, though
thore Will hardly he enough Republicans
IN the next House TO enable the minority
" make a feeble protest.
VIII BE LOST IL TTE VAIL.
In feet, the Republicans will be so
scarce that they will he lost in the he'll.
The democrats viii spill over on that
side Of the chamber 10 sue h large num-
b1rs that they viii occupy nearly half OF
che desks on the left la aking up tine
committees for the next l iOuse 1T viii
become necessary for the ~ eaker TO cut
down the Republican rcpres 'ntation for
the reason that there are not enough
Republicans 70 90 around if five arc
assigned to cach committee IS has been
the custom. il would place a1c minority
members on $50 many com 1lttoes that
they could not attend oil Il - meetings
TIE HOUSE PHCTooBA PTS.
II will be remembered that when
Colonel O'FCrrall, at Viz ginia, was
fighting al alone in the h ouso few
weeks ago the battle of the Democrats
g. prevent the brutal unscah DC of MIR.
Venable the Republicans bad largo
photographs made of the scc,1e. Colo
mel O'ferrd was pictured aii the solo
member on tho Dem0cTa tic side, and
along with these pictures The Republi-
cans sent out statements 10 the OBJECT that
A-.....,r,t.. 81 - III
Of secession" The poor, lily kepub-
hcnns imagined that these Pic urcs would
make magnificent campaign cards, but
they were then told that the FL lotcgraphs
would help rather than hurt he Demo
Gratis. Now they wish they IN, not sent
out those pictures, for whenev,l Demo
crat meets q Republican he ~ ludes to
the photographs, and with @, ohuckle
adds "lhe people took a look at your
picture and they have more u IN filed
the empty seats on tho Bet aocratlc
side.
DEFEAT or LANGsToN's FRIEND.
II will be great consolation to "a 10 peo-
pie of Virginia 10 know that Rov 5ell. of
Illinois, has been defeated. He is the
chairman Of the House Commit co on
elections. and it wal he who
did moro than any one else TO
force the Langston co ltest which
robbed Mr.. Venable Of tbe scat TO
which the people Of the tourt b dis
trict had elected him. II was howell
more than any other Repu blcaTl who
insisted that tho Virginia bulter Hhould
be recognized. We also cam verY near
getting the scalpoi that Norwe nan Radi-
cal. Haugen, IN Wisconsin, Thou Oh be
has heretofore had a tremendo as majority
behind him. Hanger ma laged the
Langston case on the floor, an after the
robbery had been committee . marched
arm IN arm down the aisle Wit 4 the pro
foasional negro to the desk, q nd almost
hinged him when he was swo IN in. IL

can who went into ecstac;es VII en- Lang

have been coming home to roo ST IN all
parts OF the country.
DEFEAT OF M'CoMAs.
One OF the most glorious Of all the
grand victories rs the crushing iefeat Of
McCOmas IN Maryland. IL was his adj
vocacy Of the infamous force ! pill that
caused bis defeat, and the pal 'ers are
peppenng him on the res alt, and are re-
freshing the memories Of their 1 eaders
Oy quoting from the uncallod-i, n re-
marks of McComas when he add ,cssed
The House in advocacy OF the ini-
quitOus measure. IL would have

yenhon Lodge could hav , been
