THIS Is CHEERFUL.
Western Democrats Begin to Realize the
True Situation General News,

True Situation General News,
WASHINGTON, November 10.-The DEM
ocrstic statesmen here take various
views Of the result Of the election last
Tuesday. Such men as Dockery, of
Missouri, take it badly. They are from
the country districts of the west. Rep
resentRtive Geary, Of California, and
Senator White, Of the same state, don't
care, and decline TO be interested, They
carried their state for Cleveland q year
ago, and they say his interest in them
ceased when the polls closed. Their
region, as they feel about it, has been
badly treated by the administration.
They don't care whether school keeps or
not, and are rather delighted than other.
wise at the way Ohio, New York and
Massachusetts, have sloped off.
Bailey, Of Texas, is in rebellion. On
Tuesday night, when the returns were
coming in, he was in the Press club on
his sudden way to the train.
II 60 to Texas" said Bailey, with q
calm frmness which showed that he had
thought the slip all out, ~ go to Texas
to begin campaign against this admin
istrstion."
Encouraging talk that from born,
dyed.in-the- wool democrat. But do not
blame Bailey. He must stand by the
people who stood by him. These same
people stood by Cleveland, too, until he
forsook them in favor Of the counsels Of
the bourse.
Senator Mills was wroth. II have
sacrificed myself for this administra-
tion," said Senator Mills. "When left
Texas every paper was my friend. To-
day threefourthS Of them are my enc
mics. The Populists will carry Texas
next time. And your state, sir, said
Mr.. Mills, turning to Tarsney, Of Mis-
souri,, will 20 republican. The Hnan-
cial policy of this administration has
ruined us both"
That's the way Mills feels, and that's
the way at least five out Of six of the
southern and western democrats feel.
"What does tnis meanf" asked apromi-
nent southwestern senator. "Look at
Massachusetts, sweepingly republican.
Observe New York, which Flower and
later Grover Cleveland carried by about
$4,000. Now, year later, when we have
possession Of congress and the white
house, We lose New York. What does
this meanP It means that while you
are pleasing the banks Of Boston, you are
turning from you the rank an6 file Of
Massachusetts. It means that while you
are doing the will Of Wall street and the
money changers OF New York you are
turning against the general public OF
New York. It means that in Msssa

cratic where e-on-earth to the victor

Of the republicans went to the Populist
candidate for supreme Judge and prob

TWenty.four counties out Of ninety in
the state show: Harrison, republican,
1880; Holcomb, Populist, 16,440; r.
vim, democrat, 9,l89; Mrs. Bittenbender,
prohibitionist, 1,64O. The corporations,
regardless Of party, supported Harrison,
and he still lacks from 5000 to 10000 Of
having q majority.
In Omaha the Populist candidate for
mayor polled 1900 votes but was de-

astonishing gains throughout tho state,
COLORADO.
The Centennial state has spoken
through it's county elections in favor Of
Populism and woman's suffrage.
The Populists carried Boulder, Clear

Summit, Fremont, Montrose, Mesa, San
Juan, Garfield, Chsffse and a num-
Der Of other counties by pluralities equal
to last years. Morgan county is divided
between Populists and republicans and
the same is true Of Rio Grande. San
Miguel elected an independent Peoples
party ticket over the straight Populist
ticket. Republicans carried ArapRhoe,
Lincoln, Weld, Pueblo, Cheyenne, Gill
pin, Washington, ConejOs, Phillips,
Lake, Ell Paso, Jefferson and Huerfano
counties.
The aggregate vote will be lighter
than last year but the Populists percent
age will be larger.
A dispatch of November II says: "The
women Of Colorado are "rstifylnQ" to-
day. They are rejoicing over the grant

"a majority in the state is sufficiently

yoa have heard rumble that you first
took for wagon crossing bridge, but
afterward there was louder rum
bling, and you said: Why, that is thun-
der! and sure enough the clouds were
being convoled for full diapason. A
whole pack of artillery went rolling
down the heavens and the blinds of the
windows in the sky were closed. But
the sounds above were not more GER
tain than the sounds beneath. The
cattle came to the bars aud moaned
for them to be let down, that they
might come home to shelter, and the
fowl, whether Brahma or Hamburg or
Leghorn or Dominiclx, began to call
to its yourg. 'sCluck!'' ''Clucklv
s.Cluck!'' and take them under the
wagon house or shed, and had them
all hid under the soft feathers by the
time that the first splash of rain
struck the roof. So there are sudden
tempests for our souls, and. oh! how
dark it gets, and threatening clouds of
bankruptcy or sickness or persecution
or bereavement gather and thicken and
blacken, and some run for shelter to
bank, but it. is poor shelter, and others
run to friendly advisers and they fail
to help, and others fly nowhere. simply
because they know not where to go.

THERE Is more Catarrh in tbs section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounccdit incurabIe. Science has proven
catarrh to be q constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F.J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to 9 tea
spoonful. II acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it fails TO
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

Two African M. E. Bishops
From the East.
HERE FOR A CONFERENCE.
Services by the Visitors in the
Second African Church on Powell
Street Attended by Crowds.

At the Second African M. E. Church. on

jubilee time yesterday.
Bishop James A. Handy of the Fifth
African Episcopal District. whch.in cludes
Missouri. Utah, Montana. Kansas, Ne
braska, Wyoming and Colorado, was pres
ent Accompanying the distinguished di-
vine was Bishop Benjamin F. Lee of Kan
saS City. whose see extends over Califor-
MIA. Texas. Louisiana. Washington. Ore
gon and British Columbia. These prelates
are mere on visit and to attend the Cali
fornia African M. E. Conference at Marys-
vile. which opens next Wedn sday. They
are travelling with Elder L. j. Coppin.

REVIEW, the leading religious organ of the
colored people. published at Philadelphia,
Mrs. CoppIn. an educator and lecturer
among the cOiored people, and Elder
Philip A. Hubbard of Denver.
AT the morning service DR.. COppin
preached to large congregation on ''The
New Life" and at 8 O'clock In the af er-
noon his wife delivered an address on re-
liglon, education and industrial work.
The church was crowded to the doors in
the evening when Bishop Handy delivered
an ell quent sermon on the text. Now is
Christ risen from the dead"
mo argument is called for at this hour"
he said, ito remind you hat Jesus Christ
is risen from the dead. The foundation of
Christian hope is the resurrection. and this
is everywhere. Man cannot die; he will
live willis God lives-ive with his God in
lis fathers house in happiness, in pleas
ure and in glory. No event in the history
OF our redemptin is of more importance
Than The resurrection of our Iedeemer.
"Our brother angels stood back in
amaZement when they heard God would
uncrown himself and wrap around him
our humanity, tiat he would come to our
world and undertake and accomplish the
work Of mans restoration. Thank God
for Bethlehem, for Mary, for the cry that
broke the silence for man. Towering
above all things. however far reaching. is
the truth Of Jesus Christ dying on the
cross. Solemn was the hour, no wonder
that rocks shivered, that the dead arose.
"The apostle wrote Now is Cnrist
sen'-now. this present tlme-now and
lorever Humanity asks the question,
shall The dead live again. the SILENCE of the
grave broken, or shall the dead sleep for
ever? M. this grand old truth revealed
TO every man that man shall inherit iu-
mortality. There shall be a resurrection
from the dead. Above all the promptings
of the human heNrt Christianity reveals
1t. Man immortal, emancipated shall live
forever"
The conference will be presided over by
Bishop Lee and will remain in session for
week. About thirty members of the
twenty African NJ. Z. churches in Califor-
MIA will attend and transact diocesan affairs

another strike. And so 1t con lnued.
1.-The CAPTAIN at last lifted up his hand and
prayed: Oh Lord. can go home to my wife
and children without either OF my legs. but. oh,
Lord. let me get home.
Finally there came the shouts OF victory.

again.
"'Come here instantly, you rascal shouted

the final laughing reply OF the orderly.

osity-seekers called during the day, but
they went away dissatisfied. The watch
men said the stOry.of the tragedy as pub
lished in THE CALL was correct in every
particular and contained all the informa-
tim they possessed uron the subject.
They speak very highly of Severln and
say that no more considerable foreman ever
existed. When asked concerning Grissell's
character they declined to make direct
statement and pleaded a lack Of acquaint-
ance with him.
Deputy Coroner Jones visited the prem
ises in the morning and made diagram
of the premises and the scene of the shoot

TO be held to-day.
