NEBRASKA.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 9.-At midnight
returns from Nebraska are still very
fr~agmentary. owing to the new election
law and poor method of counting. Fig
ures so far received indicate that
Weaver will carry the state by a few
thousand. On governor the result is
very doubtful, Crounse (rep.) will not
get as large a vote in Omaha as ex-
pected and Morton, democrat, develops
unexpected strength. Van Wyck lind. J
is not so strong among laboring classes
in Omaha as expected. Going by re-
turns of one-tenth of the state the
three candidates for governor will poll
about 10000 votes.
For congress. Brian, the brilliant
democrat of the first district is re-
elected. In the second district the race
is very close between Doane (dem.) and
Mercer, (rep). Partial returns now
favor Doane. The third congressional
district is close and in doubt, the three
candidates running almost even. In
the fourth the republicans will elect
Hainer. In the fifth the democrats and
Independents will elect McKeighan. In
the sixth the independents will elect
KEN. The legislature. will be about
40 per cent. republican, 40 per cent. in
dependent and 20 per cent. democratic.

INDIANA.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 9.-At mid
night the indications are that Indiana
will go republican. Heavy republican
gains over two years ago IN Marion
county, containing the city of Indian
apolis, indicate now, with forty out of
20S precincts in, that the democratic
majority of 1000 in the county will be
reduced to 600. No comparisons can be
made on these precincts for their geo.
graphy was changed a few months ago.
At the same time eighty precincts out
side the city show net gains of /, 1o4 for
Harrison, an average of eleven to the
precinct. If this keeps up it will wipe
out the democratic majority of 10, $40
in 1890 and leave over 10. 900 plurality
for the republicans.

A weed is a plant that grows in

Any plant may become a weed by
escaping from cultivation. Many
plants that with us are highly es-
teemed, in other countries grow as
weeds; while, on the other hand,
our weeds are, in other countries,
sometimes highly priced. The cor

ours. The most glorious result appears

Dies MONIES, Ia, Nov. 9.-On1y sixty
nine precincts in Iowa had been heard
from at 1t:30 o'clock, and it is impossi-
BILE to give the result definitely. The
new election law rendered the count
ing of the ballots a slow job. The in
dications are that the republicans have
carried the state on electors, and that
the state ticket is in doubt. The indi-
cations are that the republicans have
elected congressman in the first. third,
seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth dis
tricts, and the democrats in the Sec
ond, fourth, fifth, sixth and eleventh
districts.
CINCINNATI. Nov. 9.-At midnight in
dications are that the republicans have

twenty-frst districts; democrats in
the third, fourth, fifth. twelfth

the republicans claim the state by co.

Fuller of the democratic committee
practically comedies the state, but says
the 200 precincts heard from are toe
few upon which to base an estimate.

in many parishes being SO unfavorable

both sides are claiming the state,
though with few figures to back their
claims. Chairman Griffith of the re-
publican state central committee claims
that returns so far received indicate a

ticket. Chairman Arbuckle of the free
coinage democratic committee, on the
contrary, claims the state by several
thousand. 81. III. Eddy. republican

WISCONSIN,.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 6.-The cam
paign Of 1893 closed with the largest
vote ever polled within the city. A
corresponding increase is reported
throughout the state, and $50, 900 is
the estimate of the total vote cast. The
prohibition and peoples parties cut a
very insignificant figure in this cleo
ton.
At midnight scarcely half the re-
turns had been received, but every
thing indicates a sweeping democratic
majority in the state. Cleveland so far
has the better of Harrison, and
Spooner, republican, for governor is
running away ahead of the ticket.
Often (rep.) for congress is running
well against Mitchell. At present the
city and county are running neck and
neck for both parties with slight favor
for the democrats. No definite sum-
mary, however, a be obtained for

THE NINTH DISTRICT FIGHT.

The Election of Successor to Mr.. Mills.
From the Southern Mercury.
The recent short but lively campaign in
the Ninth congressional district, between
l. N. Barber and E. L. Antony, for Mills
unexpired term, has done more to de-
velop the true lnwArdnes OF partisan
politics In Texas than all the speeches
delivered by reiormerS In the last ten
years.
For many years it has been declared
from the stump, and through the press,
that whenever the people undertook to
re-establlsh democratic government the
machine bosses of both the old parties
would unite to defeat the will OF the
people.

was noticeable among the manipulatoTS
Of the old parties. Frequent conSulta-
tlons were held, and at the Democratic
convention held in Cameron several well
known candidates were defeated because
they could not poll the Republican vote.
Antony was nominated because promi-
nent Republicans had been heard to say,
"Antony 10 the only candidate before the
convention who can secure the Republl-
can vote"
AS soon az IL was announced that An
tony had received the nomination the
machine Republicans threw up their
hats and shouted FOR JOY, and passed the
word along the line, "Vote for Antony;
he Is our candidate" Active work
promptly began, the sinews of war pro-
vided, speakers sent into every nook and
corner TO arouse the faithful and place
them In the Antony column. Speakers,
both white and colored, were imported
into the district to supplement the local
workers.
In one section the white people were
informed that "a negro stunk in An
tony's nostrils;" that he was relying
solely upon the votes Of the white peo-
pie; that BarberSwas homologating with
the negro; that he and his followers were
advocating social equality with the ne
gro; that IL Barber was elected he would
take his seat with and vote with the Re-
publlcans, etc.
In other sections the negroes were sol
emnly told that Antony always had been
the tried and true friend Of the negro;
that II he was elected IL would be q Re-
publican victory, because Barber was the
most incorporating, red-handed Dem
scrSt In the statel that he was a bitter
hater Of the negrol that he had actually
murdered two negoes who had worked
for him, because they asked him foE
their payl that If Barber was elected he
would lose no opportunity to iDjure the
negrol that he did not want the negroes
to vote for him, etc.
In short, everything that unscrupulouS
cunning, backed by unlimited money,
could do was done to defeat Barber.
To meet this powerful combination the
independents had no money, very few
speakers or workers, 1t being very busy
season, their forces wholly unorRanlzed,
except In three counties,yet inside Of two
weeks they not only reduced the $4,000
majority down TO less than 5000, but
they neutrallzed all the votes polled by
the Republican bosses.
Upon the whole, the outcome Of this
campaign Is glorious victory for the
independents. 1t foreshadows the cleo
tlon of Barber to congress this fall. It ID
estimated that the Republicans threw $500
votes into the Antony column, which, II
true, shows the independent strength ID
phenomenal, and ls bound to win In No
vember.
The fusion Of the Democratic and Re.
publican party managers puts the people
on full notice that II they ever get any
benehclent reforms they will have tC
down the old party managers at the
polls. This campaign has laid bare the
fact that those who dictate the policies
Of both parties are the usurers and speCu
lators, and that they are determined that

School Items.

The Cicero class has completed five
orations, and the Caesars have taken
their first lesson in Latin prose.
At meeting of the Senior class, held
last Monday, it was decided that the
places on the program at the COM
mencement exercises should be elective
by the class and high school teachers.
Friday, Feb. 10, is the date fixed for
the exercises by the school to raise our
share of the funds for Michigans edu-
cational exhibit at the Worlds Fair.
The several rooms are now busily pre-
pairing for the entertainment. and a
very interesting program is planned.
The lyceum program was carried out
last Friday afternoon and the exercises
were good. The debate, Resolved,
That Congressman should vote accord
ing to the dictates of their conscience"
was decided in the affirmative. The
question might he construed in several
ways, and hence was not a fair one.
The negative presented its side of the
question in an able manner, and if
their construction was the one intended
to be brought out in the question: they
certainly deserved the verdict 1t is to
be hoped the subjects will be more ex-
plicit in the future.
