A GREAT LANDSLIDE.
THE DEMOCRATS TRIUMPHANT.
They Garry the solid South. New York
and Illinois, with . Number of
- Other states to Hear
From.

The election was . Democratic landslide Of
Imposing dimensions- Cleveland will have 9
very large majority In the electoral college
and the next Congress will be In Democratic
hands
In the electoral college, Cleveland viii have
nearly 800 votes, the Populist about s5 and
Harrison win &c, the balance, about ls5. The
next national House of Representatives will
be controlled by the Democrats with nearly
loo majority, and in the Senate the Popalis,s
with their half dozen votes will hold the bal
ance Of power.
Below are given the reports from the states
about which there could be any doubt
CALIFORNIA.
Almost complete returns give Cleveland
5000 plurality in California. The Legislature
is Democratic in both branches. The Demo
cratic congressman are elected as follows
Geary First, Ryland Fifth, Cannon Sixth and
probably English In the Second district and
Weber In the Seventh
CONNECTICUT.
Forty towns give the Democrats a net gain
on the vote for governor of ninety-dve. Demo
cratic gain on representatives in the legisls-
ture, two. Forty-iiye towns give Harrison -
757, Cleveland 1855; Democratic gain, e6s.
Fifty-three towns give Harrison II ,lsa, oleye-
land IL, Gas, Democratic gain over isss of
9s3. One hundred and one towns give Harri-
son sl,1ls, Cleveland SLOT, Democratic
gain OF LIZ,
The vote in this state, with one town miss
ing, gives Cleveland s., 4os. Harrison 1889.
Weaver 1894, scattering 1,co5. Cleyeland's
plurality 5,4l7. Four years ago # was $50,
The entire Democratic ticket is probably
elected, the vote on governor being, Morris d

THE country now having been duly
saved it behooves the private citizen
to turn his attention to affairs much
less pretentious, but of far greater i'm
portance to the average man and his
family. Among these are the increas
ing of the income, the improvement of
the mind, and the development of the
resources of the town or district where
he lives. Among the things that Colo
RADIO needs are better roads, more
manufactures, more public improve
ments owned by the people them
selves. There are but few towns in
the state that might not be made much
more beautiful and comfortable to
live in and that by comparatively
small outlay of money and work.

scattering li3; Morrls's majority (requirel
by the eonstitution) LIS. Three Democrats
and one Republican were elected TO Congress.
The state senate is a tie and the Republicans
bave a majority in the house.
DELAWARE
Delaware's complete vote is: Cleveland
1889, Harrison IL ,e5l. ClevelAad's plurali-
ty SIS.
There Is no possible doubt Of Cleveland
getting as high as 1000. Georgia returns
solid Democratic delegation In the Ninth
and Tenth districts the Republicans and the
third party people fused and had hopes for
the election of Pickett and Watson, but both
these men have undoubtedly been beaten.
IDAHO.
Less than half the state has been heard
from so far. The indications arc that the
majority Of the Weaver electors may reach
5000. One hundred and seventeen out o.,
800 precincts give Mcdonnell Il, for COVER
nor, 5,s7s; Burke d, 1881; Crook P. 3,sa5.
Sweet R, for congress, has 4 plurality o, B.
600.
ILLINOIS.
The indications are that the state OF ullnois
has gone for Cleveland and Stevenson By
from 5000 to 1000 plurality and that the en-.
tire Democratic state ticket is elected Later
returns may change these figures, q. the
country districts yet TO be heard from are
likely to cut down the Democratic gain in the
city precincts. Chicago and Cook county
gave Cleveland and Stevenson and Aityeld
the Democratic candidate for governor, no,
less than 1900 plurality, which will proba-
bly, more than Offset the Republican majority
in the country precincis, as the country thus
far has shown the Harrison vote to be les
than in isss, when Harrison had 4 plurality
of ., 600 in the whole state Two hundred
twenty precinets in the state outside Of Chi
cago give Harrison Al, ,459, Cleveland 81. $50
The same precincts in IsSs gave Harrison ss.-
7is and Cleveland 81 SOS, so that Cleyeland's $
net gain IS ,523.
The later returns do not abate in any way
from the decisive Democratic victory in the
state Of Illinois on both national and star.
tickets. Conservative men Of all parties gen
orally agree that the Democratic plurality in
the state will be approximately 10000, State
senate, Democrats 2s, Republicans %; house
Democrats 50, Republicans 13 For con-
gress the Republicans carry out of %.
INDIANA
One hundred and eighty precincts in In
diana give Harrison 1880, Cleveland Il. .4O4.
Republican gain, 3,522; Democratic gain. l.
eo3; net Republican gain, 1,6l7.
The gains which Harrison Is making in all
parts of the state insure that he will carry fl
by larger majority than In 1855. The Re
publieans will probably carry the state for
governor by small majority No estimate
yet on legislature. Congressman same as
before.
Returns are now sufficieutly complete to
give fairly reliable estimates on all the ninety

THE officer who caused Private Iams
to be strung up by the thumbs at
Homestead during the labor troubles
explains that he pointed out to the
private with ''fatherly solicitude" the
necessity of the punishment. 1ams
was lucky that this solicitude was not
deeper and stronger than it was, A
little more of it might have hanged
him

In good many cities of the country
the intelligent voter was carefully
guarded. The federal supervisor pro-
tected him from the designing briber,
the deputy sheriff protected him from
the wiles of the supervisor, and the
policeman protected him from the
bluffs of the deputy. The only thing
that the citizen had to do was to with
stand the forwardness of the policeman
and vote.

THE principal features of the Ger

THE principal features of the Ger
man army bill have been published.
The peace force, including corporals
and privates, but not other officers, will
consist of 492, ,O6S men. With all
other officers the force will be fully
half million, great army for time
peace. As the term of service is to
be two years, the bill will require the
annual enrolment of nearly quarter
of million men, call for service
equal to that made in our late war
times. When the system is fully de-
veloped, it will give Germany trained
force Of men Numbering more than
1000, 900. The increased expense will
be GA, 600, 900 marks annually. The
feeling caused by the bill is intense.
1t is pronounced an imposibility. To
take half million men from int ustrial
pursuits and support them il all the
extravaganza of military outlay is
more than any country ought to bear.
If Emperor William and his chancellor
are not more careful the young men
of the country will be emigrating to
the United States. But is not be-
lieved that the bill can pass the Reich
stag. If not, the body will be dir
solved and new election held.

political influence, has led n life of hard
work tendingt to develop the most masculine
traits of character, and yet the vagary
which max him an interesting subject
for comment is the love of the finery and
forgery affected usually by women only,
and his habit of indulging this fancy to
the extent of attiring himself in the COS
tune of the opposite sex, and thus appear
ing in public. He has an elaborate ward
robe, consisting of more than n dozen fine
dresses made in the latest styles. He has
used form ~improvers, and adopted every
device, including rouge, lilly white" ear
rings and blond wigs, for feminizing his
face. His fad has landed him in the sta
tion house several times, but he has always
succeeded in extricating himself from the
clutches of the law by the friendly inter.
vention of those close to the powers that
be-" who are not averse to making use of
his political influence among the Polish
residents on election day.
The man-woman contractor considers it
outrageous that he should be interfered
with, as he claims that under the constitu-
ton of the United States, which guaran-
tees to MI life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, " he is justified in all that he has
done, inasmuch as it is "the pursuit of hap
piness" which causes him to don female at
tire. He always behaves in adecorous man
ner in public and has had some very anus
ing experiences in street cars with friends
who failed to recognize him. His children
are opposed to his indulgence in this odd
