LEDGER.
THURSDAY, 10.
A LAND SLIDE.

The Democratic party is trium-
plant throughout the entire country.
Tariff reform as enunciated in the
Democratic platform has met with
the approval of the people of the
United States. Cleveland has a r
ried the doubtful states, and many
that were not doubtful, and the
Democratic ticket has increased its
majority everywhere. The Republi-
can party is elimated. There will
be a Democratic majority in the next
House of Representatives OF some
thing near one hundred. The SEN
ate will be Democratic by a good
working majority. Cleveland's cleo
toral vote will be 27S, Harrison 139
and Weaver 30. New York goes
Democratic by nearly $4,000 major
ity; Connecticut and New Jersey
are solid for Democracy; Illinois IS
in line for tariff reform; Indiana,
Wisconsin and California are report
ed solid for Cleveland and tariff re-
form. Cleveland, it is thought, will
have a majority eve without New
York. The Democratic party in
Missouri has largely increased its
majority. Stones plurality is esti-
mated at from twenty to thirty thous-
and. Thirteen congressman were
elected in this State. Hon. Champ
Clark, although he was knitted in the
house of his friends, will be elected
by a safe plurality, estimated at over
1000. The returns are not in yet
complete from all parts of the United
States but the more that is heard
the better the Democrats feel and
the latest returns are the strongest
and go to show that the Democratic
principles have been almost univer-
sally endorsed.

LONDON, Nov. 9.--Mrs. Catherine
Parnell, widow Of the late Charles
Stewart Parnell, has obtained under
her w petition a receiving order from
the Brighton bankruptcy court She
will file a full statement of her affairs
on Thursday.
1t is not believed that Mrs. Parnell in
a bankrupt, but that she has taken
this action to protect herself against
claims made upon her own estate and
that of her late husband. Her action
in having a receiving order issued will
result in further delay in the settlement
of the questions that have arisen over
the Paris fund. 1t is rumored that
Mrs. Parnell has assigned her trustee
ship in the Paris fund to Messrs. Har-
rington, Kenny and Powers.

In Thomas Jefferson's day repub-
licanism and democracy were
synonymous terms. The latter is
derived from the Greek and means
the sovereignty of the people. The
former is from Latin, in which tom
que republican means the popular
affair or concern. In modern ap-
plication democracy still retains its
ancient and derivatiye sense. while
republicanism means to-day a gov
eminent in the interest of the few
and is, in fact, synonymous with
plutocracy.

alleged Acknowledgement of republican

excitement prevailed all day, but no
trouble occurred.
Kansas City and Jackson county will
show the normal democratic majority,
about 1,soO, except on governor,
Warner (rep.) running ahead of his
ticket.
Returns from scattering points in the
fifth congressional district show that
Tarsney (dem.) is returned to con-
gress by a largely-reduced plurality,
the populists having materially af-
fected his vote.
Returns received from a number of
points in western Missouri show that
everywhere Warner (rep.) for governor
has run ahead of his ticket, and the
populist vote will be many thousands
more than estimated by either the dem
ocratic or republican committees.
