Sweep oftl1e Wave
ALL ONE WAY.
Swelling the Great
Victory.
LIKE A REVOLUTION.
Republicans Have the
House
AND CAPTURE THE SENATE.
Complete Possession of the Ma
tional Legislature.
LET THE TARIFF ALONE NOW.
There VIII Be Few Democratic
Leaders in the Next House to
Suggest Change.

The SURPRISING magnitude of the disaster
only grows in contemplation of the wreck
Of Democracy left by the great tidal wave.
The backbone of the organization has
been broken. The Solid South, which has
stood so long like a wall against the bill
lows OF public opinion, has gone down at
last and the waters are sweeping over the
choicest preserves Of the Democracy, car
rying before them all of prejudice and
bitterness that has so long ruled one great
section of the greater nation.
West Virginia aud Delaware are Re-
publican solidly, Governor, Legislature
and COngressme0. The State of Missouri.
perhaps most wonderful change of all, has
gone into the Republican column for the
first time since the Greeley campaign, and
in Tennessee it will require the official
count to decide the result. Even there
the Republicans take half the Congress
sional delegation. and Enloe. one of the
leaders on the Democratic side of the
chamber, goes down to defeat.
The loss Of leaders in Missouri is even
greater. for there "Silver Dollar" Bland,
and Dockery. aad Tarsney and "Anti-
Options" Hatch have gone by the board.
Again are the United States one nation,
and all forecasts upon results of future
elections must be revised.
No longer will it be possible for Democ-
racv to lump the South and count upon
the election of a President with the votes
of two or three Northern States, for the
Republicans will hold what they have
gaiDed-not all. very possibly, but enough
TO be menace to the beaten party and to
destroy the value of prophecies founded
upon political sectional solidity.
As if that were not glory enough, later
returns make the maiorities iu the
Northern States even larger In New
York the plurality given to Morton. with
Sullivan County lacking, was 153 SAG, and
mis- clear majority was 126, 238.
With the passing of another lay the
Ohio plurality has grown to 10000. while
Hin ois gives 125000. more or less, Min
nesota O,0o0, Iowa $4,000, Kansas &C, 900,
and the others coming alone in line.
The majority of Pennsylvania is almost
too large to be put in figures. but il will be
something like a quarter of a million.
That is sufficient tor all practical pur
poses.
The House of Representatives, of course,
is Republican. The dominant party will
have clear working majority of ia, and
may have 80 more than that. for Chairman
Babcock says the party has an excellent
chance of securing 27 more members.
The Senate is in doubt, though, if Pef-
fer, Jones and Stewart act with the Re-
publicans, as it seems probable, that party
Will organize the body. The House, how
ever, will do for the present. for Repub-
lican House assures the country of sur
cease of tariff tinkering and an oppor-
tunity to develop its resources under con-
ditions as they exist. 1t assures, in other
words, return Of national prosperity
The people have blocked the game Of
those gentlemen who have sought to CON-
pei American industry to pay tribute to
the commercial prosperity of Great
Britain.
