THE REPUBLICANS CARRY
EVERYTHING.
TlG Solid South is Solid
No Longer.
David B. Hil and Congressman
Wilson Both Showed Uuder.
Democracy Suffers Disastrous
Defeat at Nearly All Points.
Details Of the Elections in the Va
riOuS States of the Union.

The election of 1894 has passed into
history and the solid south is no more.
Following q phenomenal victory, in
which the people were bouyant and
hopeful, the disaster of defeat is fully
as crushing.
Out of the wreck of the battle the
salient points in view indicate the CEN
tiers of popular displeasure.
Not only was Mr.. Wilson, of West
Virgins, defeated by his people, but
his state, one that has been democratic
from its birth, has elected q solid re-
publican delegation. Nor is this all,
for the next senatorship from that state
will be in republican hands.
Then there is Delaware, which re-
manned democratic under all circum-
stances until its senior senator accept
ed place in President Cleveland's
cabinet. Then it sent republicans to
both branches of congress, and now
that the ex- secretary, who is minister
to England, has returned home to can
vass the state, it finishes up the task
of becoming wholly republican.
Crossing over to Tennessee, where
democratic majorities have ranged as
high as 10000, the latest dispatches
show Governor Turney is hanging on
to an election by the skin of his teeth,
with Candidate Evans claiming that he
has carried the state for governor.
From the southern point of Louisi-
ana there is story of disaster bound
to be heard from in the future, and in
Virginia and North Carolina the eek
and neck character of the voting was
decidedly uncomfortable. Alabama is
solidly democratic, as are Florida and
Mississippi, while two districts in
Texas await the official count.
South Carolina has been enjoying a
quarrel of her own, resulting in the
continued triumph of Governor Till
man, but the ugly threat is made by
DIR. Pope that he is intent upon con-
test, both state and federal, which is
bound to invite the Investigation of
republican south haters, now once
more in power. This is briefly the
story of Tuesdays election in the
southern states.
McKinley's State.
The Ohio election was simply an
overwhelming republican victory, such
a one as the state hasn't known since
Vallandingham was buried under an
avalanche of votes when he ran off to
Canada. The Mckinley majority of
$4,000 simply isn't in it. Governor
Mckinley was naturally the center of
attraction Tuesday night as his friends
believe this victory, which is so close
~ drawn on tariff lines, foreshadows
his nomination to the presidency.
--latest advices indicate that the ma
jority may reach 100, 900 or more.
The West Strongly Republican.
Therepublican cyclone swept through
the west, and with results just as fatal
to the democratic candidates as in New
York and Pennsylvania. 1t is all one
way through Ohio, Indiana and Hi
nois, and, up in the northwest, where
democratic managers have fondly
counted ON building up the party, the
results were just as disastrous. From
the far west-the Pacific slope-the re-
turns are necessarily very much de-
layed on account of the difference of
time, but the early advices all point to
republican gains and republican victo-
ries all along the line.
In the New England States.
In the New England and eastern states
the republicans have swept things. Nor
ton carries New York for governor by
about 100000 plurality over Hill;
Strong is elected mayor of New York
city over Grant and the republicans have
won in two-thirds of the congressional
districts. 1t was genuine landslide
inNew York. Everything democratic
wenS to pieces.
InTthe New England states every
thing is republican. Massachusetts,
sends solid republican delegation of
thirteen to tho house. Connecticut
sends solid republican delegation.
New Jersey goes overwhelmingly re-
publican, electing only three demo-
Gratis out of eight congressman, and
electiBg arepublican legislature which
chooses q successor to Senator Nc
Pherson, democrat. This will prob
ably mean a republican senate as we'll
as o republican house of representa-
tives. Indeed the republicans gain in
