NOTES FROM THE BATTLE FIELD.

NOTES FROM THE BATTLE FIELD.
The first news received from the
election of the 4th was most toe
good to be true, but later news not
only confirmed the first report but it
got better and better With each days
report. After the news is all in We
are enabled to give the following
which is conceded:
Arkansas elects her five democrat
congressman Gates majority in the
first district is S74. Breckenridge
in the second district beat Langley
S05. McRea, Terry and Peel each
had a walk over.
Only two Southern states that
did not elect solid democratic dele,
cations. The republicans get two
members from Tennessee and one
from North Carolina.
There VIII be'eighteen states WITH,
out republican representation in the
next house.
Wisconsin, Iowa, Rhode Island,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts and
Nebraska are added to the demo-
cratic column.
The Illinois legislature will be
democratic on joint ballot, which in
sures the election of Gen. Palmer to
the Sanate. The republicans only
elected six Of the twenty congress-
men.
Only two republicans were elected
to congress in Indiana. The gencr>
al assembly will o democratic by
SO majority, and Mr.. Voorhees, will
be returned to the Senate.
Wisconsin elected Peck of "Bad
Boy" fame governor, giving the
democratic ticket $4,000 majority.
Gen. Villas, Cleveland's postmaster
general will 60 to the Senate from
that state.
From the present returns it seems
that the lower house Of the fifty
second congress will stand, 237 dem~
ocrats, 81 republicans and 8 alliance
men. The senate may be tie.
Mckinley was defeated by his
own inlquitous measure.

A Quincy Paper Voices the Necessity
or Putting Forth Every Effort ts
Keep the Progressive Minds n,
Home.
A. NJ. McMein. editor OF the Qaincy
Wing. after telling OF the way that tovr
has been doing street paving and making
other improvements. tells OF one thing
that was done there toward getting q
good healthy movement engrafted upon
the town. In recent Interview be spoke
as follows:
I'VE are going into paving quite extern
siveiy. We began about four years ago
and have already paved about three miles
of street with brick and have ct least an
other mile 70 pat down this spring. The
streets We have paved thus far are 10 the
business portion OF the city and We had
no difficulty in getting the consent of the
property owners We are greatly pleased
with the brick and will use IL exclusively
as 3 paving material.
Quincy hss taken on q new life in the
last few years The difficulty for awhile
was that We had too much wealth and 8
conservative element that would not do
much good for the city. But recently the
young men determined to take things in
their own hands. We are now paving,
putting ia electric railways and engaging
in other enterprises that are bringing the
city right forward.
One interesting fact 10 the develop.
~ he -s1. Of
a syndicate OF young men TO buy land 70
lay cut In town lots. The FIRST thought
was to find 100 young men who would
subscribe 800 apiece and buy tract OF
land for that purpose. At the first meet.
ing that was held 90 of these shares OF
500 each were taken, and the remaining
40 were all quickly subscribed, and s
number Of other young men who had not
been present clsmored for membership in
the company. and so the limit was re
moved, and believe there are now about
$50 members of the company. The re-
suit has been most beneficial TO the town.
They bought tract of land on the edge
OF the CITY, surveyed it and laid il of 10
lots, and what is the RESULT One hun.
dred and fifty active. pushing, energetic
young men are talking Quincy from
morning till night They talk it to OUT
citizens and 70 everyone whom they can
reach. You can imagine the effect o.
80 Jealous agents of our community
They think Quincy, dream Quincy
talk Quincy. and work for Quincy
There was one piece of ground which
they bought. which believe contained
about four scres. and they divided it NJ
into somewhere about two hundred lots
My impression is that all these lots, pos,
siblY excepting three or four, have beer
sold aud built upon. The property wa.
near Highland Park on the line of one oil
the street railways. At the first aunua
meeting OF the company there Was div,
idend on the stock Of about 10 per cent
and the question came mp what to dc
with IT, II was the unanimous decision
20 add IL 10 the principal and invest 10
more land. You see no man had q great
deal at stake. and by working together
there is every prospect that they car
make good thing for themselves out OF
the speculation and at the same time do
good turn for the town in which they
live. Il made all these young men feel .
special interest in Quincy. 1t anchored
them, 50 to speak. They were all res
estate owners.
