The Boston Journal publishes a compila
ton OF figures showing that, in spite Of all
their Quotations, the Massachusetts Demo
crats actually polled Is, 600 votes less for
their congressional candidates this year than
in 1855 There is a falling off in the vote in
every district, and an average decline Of
800 in each of the IL districts. In other
words, 1t was not Republican votes given
10 the Democratic candidates, but Republi-
cans who stayed at home that caused the
so-called overturn. What is still more 70
the point, the decline in the vote for state
officers corresponds almost exactly with the
decline IN the congressional districts. The
returns show 40 093 less Republican votes
cast for the state ticket this year than were
cast in 1855 while Mr. Russell was elected
this year by II 900 fewer votes than we're
given him in 1883, when he was defeated

Senator German Of Maryland warns the
Democrats not to be too jubilant and con

an increased Democratic vote, he says,
that did the business but Republicans that
stayed at home Il have been looking
over the figures and find that we polled
within 800 Of our full vote in Baltimore,
while the Republicans were several thou
sand short So it goes in nearly all of the
states. The Republicans who were dissat
ished with their leaders did not vote with
Us but simply remained away from the
polls. Men do not change their politics any
more readily than they change''their relig
ion They will refuse to vote with theiI
party sometimes, but they seldom vote with
their enemies. 1t therefore behooves ouI
people 70 maintain their organization anG
endeavor TO hold the advantage they hav,
gained in the recent struggle.

SENATOR SHERMAN
Gives HIS Views on the Result OF
the Late Election.
lie Thinks Republicans should strength
ca their Prsssat Poiisy aua Trust TO
Time 20 Teach the People.

WAsHINGfoS, Nov. l2.-Senator Sher-
man speaking today Of the result OF
the recent election, said the most ser
ious result is hardening OF the times,
caused by the distrust Of the financial
policy of the incoming House of Rep
reseutat-ves. All sorts OF financial
schemes OF wildcat character VII be
proposed, and whatever may be the
outcome they Will make capital timid
aud arrest many business enterprises
that were on the point OF being exc
cuted. The tirst effect Is threatened
panic m New York, and the eager de-
sire OF every prudent man 10 realize
on ali doubtful securities. The tariff
act would have set on foot many new
industries, which viii be prevented or
delayed oy the doubt created as 10 the
industrial policy of the future. The
eXuberant JOY IN foreign markets over
our elections Is the best evidence of the
dangers We nave 10 meet. Foreigners
do not understand the cOnsel vatiye
nature OF our institutions which require
more Ihan one election TO change
our policy, but timid men
among us viii be affected by the hopes
and expectations OF foreign manufac-
turers and will not engage in competi-
ton until satisfied of the stability of
our protective policy. And then who
can tell what Will be our standard of
value? The policy Of tieing together
gold and silver, with the increase Of
the currency, gave hopeful outlook
Tor the future, but renewal of the
contest for the free coinage of silver
viii cause an expectation or boarding
of gold and the relative fall of silver.
Our only course, as Republicans. Is TO
maintain and strengthen our industrial
policy on the line We have pursued IN
the hope that by the next election the
people viii be convinced by the test of
time that the tariff act will not advance
prices, but Will advance home indus

"The life of r. G.. Peters, put in cold

There Is another thing that Peters
did which IS not generally known. He
built the first logging railroad in the
State of Michigan. When he first
mentioned the project the people in bis
section laughed at hlm and ridiculed
the idea, saying that the road would
surely prove failure. But Peters
stuck 20 It and the road was a success.
I have seen him, after he finished
day's work ln MS Office or mill, put on
a suit Of 0veralls, and run one of the
locomotives on the road. Whenever ne
would hear of a breakdown on the road
