THE OUTCOME OF THE RECENT
 ELECTIONS.

THE presidential contest of 1892 has resulted in t1e victory of the remocrat- ic party, the conditions of the campaign of 1888 being thus reversed. In the light of the most recent information the victory of the Democrats has been sur prisingly complete. Their candidate, MT. Cleveland, has carried not oniy the southern states, one or two of which were regarded as doubtful by the mana gers of'the campaign on the Republican side, and the so-called doubtful states of New York, Indiana and Connecticut, with New Jersey, which ..has been re- garded as secure Democratic posses sion, but also the states of Illinois, Wisconsin, California, possibly Ohio, and some of the electors of Michigan, states which in 1888 gave large plurali- ties for Mr. Harrison. In all blr. Cieve- land has secured about t9o-Shirds of the electoral votes. The People, party candidate for the presidency, NIT. Weay- CT, appears to have secured Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, North Dakota and Ne. vada. It was expected that the Peo- ple's Party would carry one or two of the Western states, and it was regarded as possible that it night be an import ant factor in determining the result of the election in case the strength of the two leading candidates was more near ly equal than has proven to be the case. The outcome of the voting, however, has prevented the party from being 6 factor in determining the choice for President, in spite of the fact that it has shown greater strength than was expected.
 The democrats have not only secured the control of the executive administra- ton but have aleo retained control of the house of representatives by a re- duced though still large majority, and have, according to the latest accounts, secured small plurality in the senate They thus fall short by only few votes of securing complete control of legisla- tion after the 4th of March next. The result as regards the senate seems to be regarded as undesirable by most people, except extreme partisans, on the ground that 1t IS desirable that the entire res- possibility for legislation should devolye upon the unsuccessful party, inasmnch as ths people have declared so decisive ly in its favor. Under other conditions the responsibility for .he conduct of the government would be divided.
 In the campaign just closed the tariff was the principal issue, the democrats attacking and the republicans defend- ing the Mckinley law. The democrats discussed the so-callsd Force Bill" or proposed federal election law, as an is sue, but the republicans, for the most part, declared that it was not an issue. The state-bank issue plank in the de- mocratic platform was attacked by most of the republican orators, but was hard- ly touched upon at all by the democrats, and was apparently not a factor in de- terminsng the Bradstreet.

A COwardly Act.

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 16.-Capt. John J. Bourke, of the Third United States Cavalry, was shot and killed iu the court room in this city by United States Mar shall Paul Fricke. This terrible tragedy grew out of the judicial investigation of certain Mexicans charged with a viola tion of the United States neutrality laws, during Catarino Garza's recent re- volutlonary movement on the Rio Gran de. The marshall became eursged at the testimony given by Bourke and shot him dead before the officers present could interfere. Capt. Bourke who was stationed at Ft. Sam Houston, was de- tailed by the military department to run down Garza. FrIcke was arrest ed and placed in jail under a strong guard.
 Capt. Bourke rendered distinguished services to the government during the Indian outbreaks in Arizona and New Mexico, being the trusted and and con- fdential friend of Maj. Gen. George

The Old Check Game Successfully Worked and Causes Mourning
 in Business Circles.

Last Friday morning a sleek lockin 2 stranger, about 45 years old. sandy com piexion, low and heavy set, who talked with German ascent approached Mir. J. P. Moffstt, and representing himself az an old friend of Mir. Mofett's brother and bearing a letter of introduction showing that he was a well-to-do resi- dent of the same town in California, as MT. Moffett's brother, who had come to this valley for the purpose of turning loose his spare hundreds. Mir. Moffett was pleased to meet the stranger and expressed himself as anxious to be of servIce to his brothers friend.
 The stranger said his name wa5 John Sims, and that he had purchased 16O acres of land near Tempe upon which he had erected house and he would con-
 sider 1t a great favor if Mir. MOffett would accompany him 10 the various business houses where ne desired t. make purchases of furniture for his new house and some agriculture implements for use on his new farm. NIT. MOffett gladly acquiesed and together they went to Doris Bros. furniture house where MT. Moffett introduced she stranger as an old friend of his whom he had knOwE in California, knew his parents, and above all, knew him to ba an honest man whose word was as good as his bond.
 The stranger made purchases to the amount of $50 and rendered in payment check on the Tulare, Cal, National Bank for S2lO and requested that Mir Doris give him S75 cash and that he would return Monday and buy enough more goods to make ap the balance due him. MT. Doris handed the fellow the S75 and of course the fellow has failed to call for his goods.
 MT. Moffett and the stranger then went to II. E. Kemp & Co.'S where the stranger invested in farming implements etc, to the amount of $40 and received in exchange for a similar check to that presented to MT. DOrrIs, for Sl6J good legal tender S20 gold piece Mir. Kemp stIli holds the purchased articles as they have rot been sent for.
 The glib stranger ia order to make bis scheme the more sure of success call ed on the National Bank here and tend- cred them for collection on the Iulare National Bank claim for S79O, and tell ling the cashier that he did not care to draw on that sum received a duplicate deposit slip showing that the National Bank held that amount in his name for collection. This duplicate slip was shown at H. E. Kemp & Co.'S and tend ed to place the check presented in fa- vorable light.
 It is useless to say that both checks l were found to be of no more value than l the paper they were written ou, as was 1 also the collection left at the National l Bank. Moffett severely, as he being peace of | ticer and paid to protect them should | be the last to become the tool of | smooth swindler. Herald.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 17.-The latest returns esta5lish'the fact that the re- publicans have majority in the lower house but that the democrats and popu- lists have control of the senate. On jeint ballot of the legislature however the republicans have small majority. The report that has gone out that Sen- ator Teller would be retired at the CO., ming session and democratic succes- scr chosen, is all wrong
 Senator Teller's term does not expire until March 4, 1897. over four years from now and there will be no Senatorial election ia Colorado until two years from next January.
 The popular vote here gives Weaver 15,000 majority for President, which shows clearly how vital here is the sil. yer interest. The Republicans have lost both members of the National House eff Representatives.

THERE is still an element of doubt as to the control of the Senate after the 4, of next month, and the indications now are that It will still be Republican on a very, very small margin. A majority of Republicans express the wish that the Democrats may get control of that too, in order that they may be in position to assume the full responsibility for the conduct of the government, and to give the country some specimens of Simon pure Democratic legislation. Tie idea reduced to homely phraseology is that "the tail should go with the hide,"

A QUIET SOCIAL.

A few evenings ago Ned Pearson, the Western Union manager and the editor of this great moral and religious journal (with ample family and fireside attrac- tions-special advertising rates made known on application) quietly walked across the line into Mexico and there wagered S100 m good gold coin, on the relative popularity of MT. Cleveland of New York (grey stables) and Mir. liar rison, of Indiana. It was a most agree able event in an assertive way and the ten shiny twenties looked beautiful be- heath Col. Roy's admirable electric light.
 The shiny business, however, seems to have doubled into sky-blue so far as the Herald man is concerned and Ned seems to smile as serenely az ever. We would have been all right had all the people read the Herald.

 THE Democratic majority in the next House will not be quite as large as it is now, but as it will be Tn the neIghbor- hood of 100 it may be said to be quite large, enough for all practical purposes in fact very much too large for the dis pensers of federal patronage under the new administration, as every Democratic Congressman will home here howlirg for some of the "pap."

THE Democrats may attempt to revise the tariff but they dare not abolish it Public sentiment now with them, would be sqgarely arrayed against them and the memory of holding office would be but painted shadow. It is perplexing to imagine an entire revulsion of the tar riff and free trade poles without cor responding revulsion of the trade cen- ters Of Europe and America.

Both Houses will be Democratic and on joint ballot the Republican minority will be so small that a resolution of enquiry will fail to find it.

The Horrible Experience OF Man Hung
on q Live Wire.
PEORIA, ILL, June 22.-[Speeial 1-This
morning. between 2 and o'clock people on
the west bluff were awakened by the most
pitiful and heartrending screams. A man
was discovered on an electric light tower,
17O feet from the ground. He had gone up
there to remove some decorations
and accidentally grasped a live wire.
His name was John Mahony and he
is one of the Oldest employees of the electric
light company in this city. Soon couple
of hundred people were gathered around,
but they were powerless to help him As
he was suspended it was feared if the power
was shut off he would drop nearly 200 feet
to the ground.
For two hours the unfortunate man re-
mained in this horrible condition, with the
kissing wire cutting deeper and deeper into
his flesh and scalding and burning his
hands and arms. Men groaned and women
screamed. Men finally ventured up to his
relief, but were knocked down by the pow
erful current 1t was not until experts
from the electric works reached the scene
that he could be removed, when he was
gently lowered to the ground with ropes
with both hands burned through. Both of
his hands were amputated this afternoon,
but the strain of that terrible two hours
and the consequent nervous prostration will
probably be too much for him, and his ply
sicians say there is scarcely chance for his
