NOTWITHSTANDING the fact tn at Senator Jones declined to acce de to the demand for primary election to select a candidate for the United States Senate, and the additional fact that the State central committee gave forth no uttsrance upon the subject, Col. Fishback is out Tn another letter appealing to his friends to attend the polls December P and instruct their representatives to vote for him to succeed Senator Jones. The right of Col. Fishback to thus force the issue is unquestion ed, but the wisdom of it Is not so apparent. We have no doubt Col. Fishback's friends will gladly avail themselyes of the opportunity to support him, but to think that Col. Jones friends will participate in the election at the dictum of Col. Fish back or any other unauthorized au- thority for calling such election, is unreasonable and absurd. The re- suit will be that the people who be- lleve the United States senators should not both be from the same section of the state, who believe the legislature was elected with the full understanding that Senator Jones was to be returned, and those who believe that Col. Fishback's candi- dacy should have been made known before the State election, all these, and the number is large and increas
 ing, will refuse to vote upon the question. The votes Col. Fishback will get will represent as good, true and faithful democrats as any, men who admire the worth, ability and dsshing boldness of their gallant fsvorite, but they will fall so far be- low a number indicating a great up- rizing in favor of the new premier
 that his last end uill be worse than the first. Realizing the hopeless ness of his case we cannot say less. Iris true, 'tis pity; pity lis, 'sis true.

Cheerful Election Figures.
Memphis Appeal-Avalanche.


 The New York Evening Post has been delving in recent election statis- tics to good purpose. It finds that complete returns from all the dis tricts Tn the four typical States, New York and Massachusetts in the East and Iowa and Illinois in the West, show the democrats carried all these States on . total vote for Congress man. The Post giyes the vote of each district as officially returned, but, did not carry the analysis far enough. In New York the demo- crats polled 50S,S7 votes for Con- gressman while the republicans poll ed 420,250, making a democratic majority of 8S,623, against republi- can majority in 1888 of 52, 767, show ing democratic gain of Al, ,390. In Massachusetts the democratic vote was 134, ,507; republican, 126, ,291 1; democratic majority S2l6, against a republican majority in 1888 of 2S, 754, . democratic gain of 36,990. In Iowa, democrats, l96,237; rspubli cans, SS,557; democratic majority, 79S0, against republican majority in 1888 of 27,700; democratic gain, 35,6S0. In Illinois, democsats, 343,- 041; republicans, 30S, ,537; democrat ic majority, 5,504, against 8 repub lican majority in 1888 of 27,667; democratic gain. 63,l7l.
 Here are four States which furnish to the house, according to the exist ing apportionment, seventy seven congressman or nearly one fourth of the entire number. Their total vote for Congressman in 1890 uas: Democrats, 1,1s2,659; republicans, l,43, ,635; in 1888, democrats, l,245,- 690, republicans, 1,379,97s. Demo cratic majority in 1890, 139,025; re- publican majority in 1888, 134, sss.
 This year was an of year. Then let us see about the stay at-homes. There was falling of from the presidential year vote Of 1888. on the part of the democrats, 62,43l votes, and on the pat of the repub- lieans 336,342, showing considerably over 8 quarter of million more re publicans than democrats who staid st home in 1890.
 These four States, in 1888, furnish ed twenty Ave democratic and fifty two republican Congressmen, This year the democrats elect forty nine out of the seventy seven.
 Close scrutiny Of the vote on con gressmen will show the democratic majority in 1890 is over 600,000.
