wAsHINGToN VACANCIES

To Bo FILLED for the Rsmnindsr OF PrsBl-
don't Hnrrlson'A Term.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 10.-There
are a number of vacanciesin the higher
offices of the executive departments Of
the government, and the problem Of
filling them has been considerably COM
plicated by the result of the recent
election. These positions arc outside
OF the civil service law and regulations,
and are looked upon rs the legitimate
patronage OF the party in power. Un-
der the present administration all Of
these places are or have been filed by
men Of the Republican political faith as
during the last administration they
were filed by Democrats. 1t is ex-
pected, OF course, that when
the administration changes on
March 4, next, another general
change will be made. III view of the
fact the vacancies now existing cannot
be regarded rs altogether desirable
prizes, as in about three months the
appointees would, no doubt, be expected
to step down and ott. 1t will be neces-
sary, however, that the public business
may be properly carried on, that some
OF these vacancies be filled at once. In
the postofEice department there is only
one vacancy in the higher offices, and
that is the office OF tho first assistant
postmaster general Colonel Whit
fields resignation went into effect
nearly month ago, and since thai time
MIR. Fowler, the chief clerk OF the office,
has been acting as first assistant Under
the law an acting first assistant can
only serve thirty days, after which a
permanent appointment must be made
If thevacancy is filed at all.
Mr.. Fowler and Mr.. Bell, the second
assistant postmaster general, have been
mentioned for the place, but Gen.
Wanamaker. it is said, has not yet fully
decided whom he will recommend but
he will presumably take some action
soon. In the interior department there
is also one important vacancy, that Of
the commissioner OF the general land
office, now being temporarily filled by
Assistant Commissioner Stone. 1t has
been suggested that Mr.. Carter might
DO induced to return and serve until
March 4, but this is quite improbable.
In the war and navy departments,
there arc no vacancies in any OF the i'm
portant Offices.
In the department Of justice, there
will be n vacancy at the very head
Attorney General Miller having signi-
fled his intention OF resigning, but it is
not yet known whether this will be ta-
ken so soon as to require the President
to make cabinet appointment before
the 4th of March.

200 to 1000 majority. and John Z. Peck
is elected to tho state senate by ma
jority Ot probably 1000. There WAS
some talk in Democratic circles this
morning OF contesting the vote at sew
eral precincts in Poca district on the
ground that the election was irregu-
larly conducted. However, it is be.
believed this idea has been abandoned

popular verdict secms to bs favorable

orally expressed opinions before the

oaFo CLOSE,

1t May Take the oGioiAl RStarnS to De-

CIycixNATl, Nov. 1o.-Owing to the
method OF receiving election returns in
Ohio there is no absolute certain way
OF ascertainins the result when such q
condition as the present prevails. The
method is the same that has been fol-
lowed for years. 1t showed gains for
Harrison over McKinley's 2l,O00 stead
ily until everybody assumed the ma
jority would not be much below Nc
Kinley's. But the latter returns rapid
" reversed the first ratio and showed
astonishing Democratic gains. Now it
must take the official returns to decide
the result for President and state off
GERS, but the chances largely favor the
election of the entire Democratic state
ticket. Unofficial returns are received
by both state committees at Columbus
and do not greatly vary.
The CommerciGI- Ga:elte estimates
Cieveland's plurality in Ohio at 67S.
At Republican headquarters at mid
night Official returns showed plurality
of 1,46O for Taylor (Republicau) for
secretary OF state.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 1O-An an
alysis of the congressional election re-
turns shows that with returns missing
from eighteen districts, in which the
result is either entirely unknown or is
very close, the Democrats have elected
to seats in the house OF representatives
for tho Fifty.third Congress ninety
more representatives than the Republic
cans. This majority dees not include
nine members.elect who are classified
as either fusiOnists or third party men,
nearly every one OF whom will act with
the Democrats in any proposed redue-
ton OF tariff taxes. Their support, with
the additional strength the Democrats
are certain to derive from securing some
OF the eighteen districts put in the un-
known column, make it conservative to
estimate that the Democrats will have
majority OF 100 members or more on the
most i'm portant question likely to come
before the next house OF representa-
tives, viz, revision. Of the Mckinley
tariff law. A number of the tusionists
are also thoroughly in accord with the
Democratic policy as far as it coca on
all other questions.
Leaving out the eighteen unknown
districts, the next house will consist OF
200 Democrats, 120 Republicans and 8
fusionists or third party men.
The following is table by states:

The result in West Virginia is 4 sur
prize to all parties. aud a great disap-
pointmeut to Republicans, who conf.
IDENTIFY expected decisive majority, and
which tho Democrats very much feared.
Whilo the result is disappointing it
ought not be q disbursement, Two
years ago the Democratic plurality in
West Virginia was nearly 5000. Now,
1t is $500 to 3,5OO--a Republican
gain of 5000. Had West Virginia
"slumped" in proportion as the
most Of the states did, we
should have lost it by $4,000. That this
is not the result is due to the excellent
organization and the splendid fight
made by the Republicans. They have
stemmed the tide in fine style, and
they made heroic fight. That they
did not achieve success is, because sue.
cess was impossible. Few states were
ever SO well organized--it was tho
praise of the national committee that it
wasthe best organized state in the Union.
In Ohio county the organization was
nearly perfect, and it did much excel
lent work. Good results were achieved
in Barbour, Berkeley, Tucker, Brooke,
Roarc, Marshall, Wayne, Preston and
Gilmcr. In Grant, Mineral, Mason,
Morgan, Mcdowell, Taylor and Upshur
the Republican majorities of 1883 have
been increased, and to tho sterling Re-
publicanism of these counties the IN-
rELLIGRNcER dofIs its hat.
In the legislature we have mGde sub
stantial gains. In the last legislature
the Democratic majority on joint ballot
was twenty-nine. In the next the ma
iority cannot be over one-half these fig
urcs. Senator Faulkner's own county
elects Republican. In the Tenth dis
trict Gitfen has made winning fight
against great odds. Morrison, in the
Ninth, heretofore a sure winner, is a
victim OF the slump" in Kanawha. In
the Greenbrier district, Colonel Driscol
made fine fight, but he has probably
fallen under the cyclonic unanimity OF
the Sth instant.
Let the splendid organization in
West Virginia be kept intact. The
splendid struggle OF '92 by the Repubii-
can party will yet bear fruit. Up, boys,

NEw HAVEN, CoxS.. Nov lo.-The
Onion, in an extra edition tonight,
publishes the following:
The Democratic state central COM
mittee is in possession OF evidence
tending to show that some OF the Re-
publican managers are engaged in n
conspiracy to again count out the
Democrats who were elected to the
state offices OH Tuesday.
A misleading aud illegal form OF re-
turn 10 be used under the requirements
OF the constitution was sent out from
the office to hold over Secretary Walsh.
1t contains several traps to catch unwary
moderators upon the subject Of rejected
votes.
BY counting oil OF these rejected votes
as II they were votes cast against Judge
Morris and his associates, the conspir-
ators hope to wipe out the large ma
jority received by the Democratic can
didates. 1t is known that several hun
dred votes, many of them for Judge
Morris, were thrown out for illegally.
On this basis Republican Chairman
Benton has been claiming to-day that
Judge Morris lacks 400 of majority.

WAsHINeToS, D. c., Nov. 1O.-The
Epeuig Star says: Plans for next
spring are already being discussed by
President Harrison and his family,
looking toward vacating the executive
mansion on March 4. There will
probably be general breaking up aud
separation OF the family. The Presi-
dent will return to Indianapolis and
make his homo there for the future.
1t is possible that Mr.. RUSSELL Harrison
and his wife will reside in Indianapolis,
also making their home with General
Harrison. Mrs. Mckee, with little
Benjamin and little Mary, will 20 TO
Boston after March 4. Mr.. Mckee has
established himself in business there
and has built house. General Harri-

Mrs. Dimmick will remain in Washing

Pennsylvania.


Enacted During an Aims Bouse Flro In
PsnusyivnnIa.
FRANKLIN, Pa, Nov. l0.--At half-past
one o'clock this afternoon the county
aims house, situated at Sugar Creek,
four miles north OF this city, took fire.
All the means at hand were used to
handle the lire, but without avail, and
the fire departments OF Oil City and
franklin were sent to the scene by
special train. But the fire had gained
such headway that they could do little
and the building was almost totally de-
stroyed, together with most oil its con-
tents.
There were some terrible scenes en-
acted at tho frc. There were about
one hundred inmates, many OF them
helpless. Had it not been for the
prompt, vigorous and courageous
methods adopted in many cases, there
would have been lives lost. The ground
was covered with snow and bitterly
cold wind was blowing. The illy.clad
paupers, many OF them feeble and all
ing, suffered dreadfully. Mrs. II. A.
Culp, wifo OF the superintendent OF
the almshouse, was very i'll and it is
thought the shock Of the excitement
and exposure incidental to hex removal
will kill her.
The building was valued at $500, 900
and was insured for S56.OO0. The fire
is believed to have been incendiary.
There have been reports sent out that
several oil the paupers had been burned
in the building. but superintendent
Culp says tonight that every inmate
had been accounted for, and that there
were no fatalities or even severe injuries

sPRINarIELD, ILL.,, Nov Ex-senator
Cullom was seen by a reporter and
asked his opinion as to the cause and
meaning of the landslide in Illinois and
in the nation. The senator promptly
replied:
"our losses in this state are mainly
due to the school question, but in the
national largely are due in my iudg-
ment TO the passage OF the Mckinley
law and the Impression in the minds
of the masses in regard to it. When
it was passed the people expected us 70
revise the tariff and revise it in the di-
rection OF reducing duties, and while
we did make reductions, they were dis
appointed and dissatisfied because 80
many increases were made. When the
bill came TO the senate from the house,
we cut many OF these increases, but
when it went back to the house and
got into the conference committee
enough OF them were restored to put us
on the defensive and at great disad-
vantage. Yes, l think our defeat can
fairly be attributed to tue Mckinley

NJ. Rusk on his way back to Washing
ton, after voting for Harrison, in his
home in Wisconsin, was in Chicago to-
1--WE are cleaned out, that's all there
is ABOUT it." said he referring TO Tues
day. ''In my opinion the tariff was the
whole and sole cause Of it. There had
been a howl about the tariff eyery-
where, and then the Homestead affair
made the laboring class discoutented.
Undoubtedly there has been change
OF public sentiment as to the tariff.
The reform spirit is growing and the
result has been a clean sweep. Indiana
is normally Democratic anyway. Wis
consin did good deal better than
many people expected, Even Milwau-
kee almost went Republican"

the matter,
