Politics IN ERIE IND NIAGARA.


The XXXIIId Congressional District OF
this State consists Of the county of Niagara
and part of the county of Erie. 1t is natu-
rally Republican. Established in 1883, it has
been represented at two out OF the three Con-
gresses elected since then by member OF our
party. The exception was in 1888, when the
Democratic candidate was chosen But those
familiar with the canvass Of that year are
aware that the success of the Democrats was
not due to the fact that they were in reality
stronger than their opponents, but was to be
referred to the widespread dissatisfaction ex-
isting in the Republican ranks growing out of
the outcome OF their own Congressional Con-
yention. The frozen truth is that our friends
in the XXXIIld beat themselves in 1883.
They had elected their nominee for the place
in 1884 by plurality of 5SS; they had re-
elected him in 1856 by the largely increased
plurality of 1I33. Hence it is evident that
If they had been united and earnest in 1883
in the support of a strong and popular can
didate for the third time they would have
routed the Democrats.
The Republicans of the rest of the State
while surprised and annoyed at the needless
loss of Congressman two years ago were
partly consoled by the belief that the Repub-
icaus OF Erie aud Niagara wGAS profit by the

ingenuity of this asseveration was made
manifest when the police officer stated
that true it was the prisoner had three
boxes of matches upon him, but they
were in his pocket.
The presiding alderman, Sir James
Whitehead, remarked that matches were
very much used as a cloak for begging.

magistrate added, that we cannot have

uniform, namely, a blue coat and buff
waistcoat, with brass buttons bearing a

One side of the room was occupied by

e-om the state of Illinois have become

lv the result on the state ticket. The
Democrats have won, and Edwin w vii
san of Olney Is elected state treasurer by
u4S6, and Henry Raab of Belleville
.uperintendent OF public instruction by
s6.l44. No compilations have been made
vet on the trusteeship of the university of
Illinois, but the indications are that the
three Democratic nominees are also
elected by a slight majority. Not until
today have the Republicans of Illinois
realized the full extent of the avalanche
which has obliterated the old time major
nv in the state. The fuller returns today
showed that in addition to the Demo
cratic gains heretofore announced in their
congressional districts congressman Pay
ION and Hill have also been defeated, and
Snow and Stewart, Democrats, elected.
This information both Congressman HILL
and Payson have t~elegraphed the Asso-
ci,ted Press concediug their defeat, the
former by $50 and the latter by 500 to
700. This makes the congressional dele
ftious from Illinois stand fourteen Dem
orats and six Republicans.
The congressman elected are as follows:
