Pensions.

Republicans often assume that
pension measures and pension money
are exclusively Republican, when
the fact is that no party opposes
pensioning the Union soldier, and
all citizens are liable to pay the in
direct tax by which pension money
is raised. I'M case can pensions
be withheld from the worthy, be-
cause public sentiment sanctions the
payment of liberal pensions. saf
Pensions are not exclusively Re-
publican property, and that party
has been liberal only to few. Mrs.
Logan, or Mrs. Garfield. or some
other "fine-haired" lady, is allowed
a comparative fortune, while Mrs.
Jones, or Mrs. Smith, who wash for
living, and have families of little
children, being only wives of private
soldiers, receive mere pittance
and the pension often given an Of
ficer for mere scratch would pay
the pensions of half hundred pri-
Yates. But, under our present sys-
temsof taxation, the private may
pay more tax than the pension
amounts to. ~ t.,.
The national tax per capita is.
about SIS. Jones has a family of
five, and pays his full proportion of
national tax. He will pay out, in
one year, the sum Of $75. He re-
ceives pension Of 81 per month.
$4S per year--and he has paid the
government $27 more than he re-
ceived. f, s
Now, if the Republican legislat-
ors had esualized things, their pre-
tention of being the friends of the
old soldier would have borne investi-
CATION. The Republican party is
the rich mans friend and the poor
mans enemy, be he white or black,
citizen or soldier. ~

Gratis will have the power after the 4th or

will be no apology for postponing the matter

THE VOTE CAST SHOWS
THAT THE MUCH TALKED OF "APA-

A Study of tho Returns is of Much Interest
Cleveland's Heavy Plurnlities Where
the Great Reverses Are Shown.

Washington, November 13.-An analy-
sis of the vote Of over twelve million
American citizens last Tuesday shows
how complete and sweeping was the po-
litical revolution which overwhelmed the
republican party and drove it not only
from the control Of the executive branch
Of the government but from its position
In the senate, where the republicans i'm
agined they had safely entrenched them
selves in power for many years to come
by the admission of six sagebrush and
Jack rabbit territories in the Reed con-
gress, two of them at least having less
voters than an ordinary congressional
district i'll Pennsylvania or Ohio.
Not counting Ohio and California, where
the official vote will be required to deter
mine the result, Cleveland carried TWEEN
ty-two states Harrison thirteen and
Weaver six the yOt, Of Michigan being
evenly split.
In 1883 Cleveland carried eighteen and
Harrison twenty states. Geographically,
Cleveland has secured the hundred and
fifty-nine votes from the solid south and
an even hundred from the north, against
an insignificant total for Harrison Of
one hundred anu IWeDty-Ono. Ii the
official returns should give both Ohio
and California to the democrats it would
swell their total in the electoral college
to three hundred, Il plurality OF one hun
,lred and sixty-nine and northern geOg-
Taphical plurality of eleven.
SIX ltu~dred Thousand Popular Majority
The expert political statisticians here,
from returns and private kilograms re-
ceived, figure that Cleyeland's popular
plurality over Harrison viii approach,
if not reach, five hundred and fifty thou

in the six states carried by him thirty

most six hundred thousand popular ma

Before leaving he said that the democrats

impossible, for the only pro~nr way to

was by customs tariff. The tariff, how

JERRY SIMPSON WINS.
Mrs. Lease Says Jerry Is straiGhtOut
Democrat


Topeka, Kas., November 16-The official
returns from Jerry SIMPSONS district give
him 1,40O majority. Two years; ago he was
not be Il candidate for senator. The leaders
of the fusion party fear that new man
would be defeated in that district IL his
election held.
Mrs Lease says Jerry is a straightout dem
and that the members do not seem to realize
it. At all democratic banquets Simpson has
appeared as an invited guest and in his
speeAhes is credited with the statement that
the democratic party would now take the
place of the peoples movement ana carry Oh
the reform inaugurated by it. He denies that
he is connected with the plot to aSSassinatt
himself He says he is in favor of a demo
crat for senator because they played fail
with this time and we will need them in
the future.

county in the second district Funston is re

VICTORY THROUGH DEFEAT.
Conservatives Hope to Win After a Brief
Period of Liberal Control.

LONDON, July 11.-Conservative news
papers take a lugubrious view of the re-
suits of the elections thus far. They ex-
press no confidence of Tory majority,
but attempt to console themselves by the
reflection that the Liberal majority will
be small, and composed of discordant
and unruly elements. The impression is
sought to be conveyed that after a brief
and stormy season of control, the Liber-
ais will fail to carry their pet measure of
Home Rule in the form insisted upon by
Mr.. Gladstone, and that a fresh appeal
to the country will be taken. By that
time, the Tories hope, the hearts of the
masses will be SO filled with disgust at
the subordination of English issues to
the demands of Ireland, that the Con-
servatives will be restored to power by
an overwhelming majority.
1t is learned that Mr.. Gladstone is in
frequent communication by wire with
the leaders of his party, and is already
discussing plans for legislation in the
new Parliament. so confident is he of

ency is a safely Conservative one, Mr..
Ritchie is sure of being elected and the
Tories will be great gamers thereby, as
Bruce, while a good lawyer, is no poll
tician, and Ritchie is one of the brightest
