and in Wisconsin in place of Spooner,
ingalls,, OF Kansas, and Moody, of South
Dakota, are likely to have anti-Repub-
lican SUCCESSORS.
We have elected Democratic govern
ors i'll New Hampshire, Massachusetts,,
Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Nebraska, in place of
Republican governors.
Montana is redeemed, and will never,
we believe, be controlled by the Repub-
licans again.
The revolution in Michigan is of such
character as to promise permanent
control to the Democratic party. Don
Dickinson can come to the United
States Senate in due time.
In Indiana We have everything that
we could desire and the reelection of
Senator Voorhees, is assured.
The result in Ohio is less satisfactory
than elsewhere, but it will be the fault
OF Democrats if we do not carry the
State in the gubernatorial campaign of
1891. We have numerical superior
ity in the members of Congress that is
quite sufficient for us.
The revolution in Massachusetts,, so
long hoped tor and predicted, has come
about. We believe that the Massachu-
sets Democracy have come in to stay.
With hard work and good management
this State will be Democratic in 1892.
Our victory in Connecticut gives us
everything except in legislature and
one member OF Congress.
In Rhode Island we have gained one
OF the two districts, losing the other
for the time being, because majority
over all is required to elect. We shall
secure the second district at the second
election, when a majority will be suffi :
cient under the law.
| In Virginia the Republican party
has disappeared from view. The old
State is solidly Democratic. West Vir-
ginia has rolled up good majorities for
her four Democratic members, two of
whom had their seats in the present
Congress contested. Republicanism
has made no headway in West Virginia
this year.
In North Carolina we have all the
districts but one, and we might have
had that one with little more effort.
South Carolina held a peaceful cleo
ton, and the hopes OF the Republicans
that the Democratic party would go to
pieces in that State have been blasted
Tilman was elected governor, and af.
fairs in the Palmetto State will 60 on
much as usual.
The other Southern States, both in
their State governments and Congress
sional delegations, present most graf
) flying display of Democratic solidity.
The only Democratic member of the
present House who was a candidate for
reelection and was defeated was Clunie
of California. This was the only State
in the Union in which the Republicans
really won victory at the November
election.
The Democrats gained members in
% States of the Union as follows: Ala
bama, l; Arkansas, g; Connecticut, 2;
Illinois, 7; Indiana, l; Iowa, 5; Kan.
sas, 5; Kentucky, l; Louisiana, l;
Maryland, 3; Massachusetts, 5; Michi.

Total, 81.
Is not this enough to signalize the
result as the greatest victory the Dem.
ocracy ever achieved, and give assur.
ance of a national triumph in 1892?
