ELECTIONS
WERE SIMPLY THIS
AND NOTHING LESS.
A Dozen Great States Back in
the Republican Column.
The Solid South Not Only Broken,
but Smashed.
A House Majority Without Precedent

Only One Lone Democratic Member Re
turned from all New England---MOst
Glorious of All Is the Tremendous
Uprising in New York.
A political revolution of proportions
which have rarely, if ever, been equalled
in the history of this country, was the re-
suit of Tuesdays elections. The early re-
turns gave an idea of what had happened,
but later details have carried the triumph
to tremendous proportions. New York
was the centre of interest. Here Levi p.
Morton, a son of Vermont, was elected
governor by plurality of about 10000.
In New York city Tammany is buried
under plurality of AZ, 600 for Strong, the
Republican candidate for mayor. At least
ten other states have been wrested from
the Democracy, Connecticut, New Jersey,
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas,
Tennessee, and perhaps Missouri among
them. The present Democratic majority
of 50 in the House of Representatives will
be replaced by Republican majority of
at least 125 in the next House. Most sur
prising, and incredible of all is the break in
the solid south, at last actually accomplish
ed, the details of which are elsewhere given.
A reliable estimate places the number of
Republican representatives in Congress
elected south of the Mason and Dixon line
at 20. The Populist party loses six of its
members, reducing its representation in
the House from IL to five.
The tidal wave was no respecter of per
sons. Foremost among those who have
gone down is VIM. /. Wilson of West Vir-
ginia. chairman of the ways and means
committee in the House, the apostle OF
tariff reform as preached by Mr. Cleveland
and the author of the Wilson bill. VIM
l.. Springer of Illinois, w. S. Holman OF
Indiana, the great objector and the watch
dog of the treasury, and tariff smasher'
like Bynum of Indiana, Outwaite of Ohio
Hatch of Missouri, and Enloe of Tennessee
are also among the slain. Sois Bland o
Missouri, of silver dollar fame. Tn,
on the complexion Of the United State
Senate cannot now be accurately deter
mined. The New York Tribune estimates
from the best information at command
that the Republican strength will be in
creased to at least AZ, and the Democrats
strength reduced to Al, leaving five Popu
list senators to give the deciding vote ol
closely contested questions.

The Meaning and the Responsibility.

Reduced to its lowest terms, the mean
ing of Tuesdays political revolution is
that the some hundreds of thousands of
voters in the United States realize that
they, made a deadly mistake two years
ago. and they have now, taken their
first chance to do all in their power to
correct it. The magnitude of the over
turn surpasses all expectation. 1t almost
passes comprehension. The Democrats
foresaw defeat, but they did not expect
annihilation. The Republicans were con-
fident of victory, but they did not look for
tidal wave.
A triumph like this brings with it, after
the first hour of eXultation, SOLDERING
sense of the responsibilities of possession.
The people have not said to the Republl-
can party: "Take the country and do with
it as you will" They have simply ex-
pressed their condemnation of Democratic
incompetency, and their belief in the abili-
ty of the Republican party to give relief
from the suffering and mistakes of the las'
eighteen months. The responsibility il
now upon our leaders to fulfill this trus
wisely. These words of Chairman JOSEPH
Manley of the executive committee of thu
Republican national committee were wei
said in New York on Wednesday: 9Th,
people do not want any harsh or radica
measures, and the lessons which the elec
tions of $780, 1892 and 1894 have taugh
us are that the people are quick to resen
any improper methods. We must ac
wisely and cautiously and not throw ava
the power which the voters by their vel
dict of yesterday have placed in the party
hands,
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1894-11-09

each elected a Republican to Congress.
The Republicans and silverites are disput-
ing over the gubernatorial result in Neva-
da, but Newlands, a silver congressman,
has carried his district. The Republican
congressman in Idaho is elected and the
state ticket beats the Democrats by 20OO
Steady Republican gains are the rule in
Kansas, the party having carried the state
by 10000 plurality over the Populists.
The Republicans have carried six of the
seven congressional districts, a gain of five
with the probability of a gain of six. The
legislature is Republican on joint ballot
The indications are that Majors, for
governor, has carried Nebraska by about
1000. He was opposed by strong fac
tion, headed by the Omaha Bee, the most
influential paper in the state, because of
his alleged corrupt political methods.
California is one of the few states that
are in doubt. There are many towns to
hear from, but the indications are that
Budd, Democrat is elected governor by a
small plurality, with all the other state Of
ficers Republican. The Republicans claim
the legislature, and will have six out of
seven congressman. The Populists made
large gains in the southern part of the state,
cutting into the Republican vote.

Episcopal Church Congress.
Outline OF she Session TO he Held i'm
Boston Next Week.


Boston Next Week.
The 10th annual meeting of the church
congress will be held in Boston next week.
The opening service will be in Trinity
church and the subsequent meeting in
Music hall. On Tuesday morning, Nov.
13, there will be the celebration of the
holy communion, with an address by the
Rt. Rev. Bishop Rulison of central Penn
sylvania. Tuesday evening the congress
will begin its regular sessions, with an ad-
dress of welcome by the bishop of Massa-
chusetts. These sessions will be contin-
ued morning and evening until Friday,
Nov. 16. The topics to be discussed by
the appointed writers and speakers are of
unusual interest, including "The church's
duty in the matter of secular activities"
"Proper education for the ministry" "The
Sunday newspaper" "Religious orders in
the Episcopal church." "How to relieve
the poor without pauperizing them" "The
argument of design as affected by the the
ory of evolution" and "The appeal to
fear in religion" Some of the most prom
inent bishops, clergy and laity of the
church are among the appointed writers
and speakers, and due consideration of
the several topics named will show that
the Episcopal church is fully abreast of the
times in all matters of vital interest.
The attendance upon former meetings of
the church congress, which have been held
in many of our principal cities, has always
been large and enthusiastic, and by no
means confined to the membership of the
church itself, since large number of per-
sons outside its communion have been
present, and it is believed that the coming
session will be second to none in interest.

President Cleveland has issued orders
making important additions to the en-
ployes who come under the civil service
rules. All customs districts in which there
are as many as 20 employees now come in
to the classified service and about 1900
additional post-otfices are put into this list.

The pupil was DIR. A. Conan Doyle, now

so enthusiastically received by American
audiences.
The oldest graduate of Dartmouth col

A committee of the Vermont Press
association, chosen at the last annual meet
ing, has issued circular endorsing the
bill introduced by Senator Plumley for the
publication of the laws through the Yer
mont newspapers. The experience of two
years ago, when the state refused to author
ize the publication of the laws through the
papers, showed that large number of peo-
pie want to see the laws, and are willing
to pay for a copy if necessary. Senator
Plumley's bill provides for the payment of
S1.O0 per 100 of circulation for the publi-
cation. This makes moderate charge fol-
the state, and is undoubtedly the cheapest
and most available means of placing the
laws before the people.
Among the reasons for the almost unin

All the pother about Hon. Levi p. Nor
toms coachman ended Saturday in an
order by Secretary Carlisle for his release,
the secretary's decision being that How
ard, the coachman, was domestic servant,
and therefore not liable to deportation.
1t is said that President Cleveland ordered
decision to be given before the election.
1t is to be hoped that he was thoroughly
disgusted with the petty part played in
this matter by the most prominent mem
Der of his cabinet. The effect of the at
tempt to make political capital against
Mr. Morton was that of a boomerang
against the Democracy. Probably p. C.
Dodge of the Burlington Independent,
who, as immigration commissioner, caus-
ed Howard's arrest, as well as Dodge's
superior in Office, Collector Smalley, are
not "pointing with pride" to their part in
this display of "peanut politics"

The Latest.

Morton's plurality in New York will
reach at least 1j5, 900. In Texas the Dem
ocrats have lost two, perhaps four, con-
gressmen. The Populists claim the election
of governor, and the Democrats admit
that the cyclone seems to have swept their
party out of existence.
The North Carolina returns indicate the
election of the fusion ticket, Republican
and Populist, by 10000 majority.

The most important article in the No
vember Forum is by ex-senator Edmunds,
in which he discusses the proposed plan
for electing United States senators by pop
ular vote, strongly opposing the idea, and
showing that there is no sound or tenable
ground on which to advocate change
from the plan devised by the fathers for
maintaining an exact balance of the pow
ers and functions of the Federal constitu-
ton.

Rev. DR.. Charles II. Parkhurst's sermon
to his congregation last Sunday was on the
election and the fight against the corrupt
rule of Tammany. In the course of it he
declared, with fiery energy, that, "Avoid
it as you like and vince under it as you
please, the election in this city next Tues
day will practically be nothing more nor
less than public vote on the ten COM
mandments." The result has proved that,
when the people are aroused, the decalogue
isn't dead letter, even in Gotham.

The result in New York is very much
more than a partisan victory. 1t is the
condemnation by the people of that great
state of Tammany rule, of David b. Hill as
its exponent, and of the inexpressible and
revolving corruption which has been re-
vealed in New York city.

The New l;ngIand states.

The Democratic slump in Massachusetts
is greater than even the most sanguine Re
publican or lugubrious Democrat dared
predict. Complete returns from all but
two small towns give Greenhalge 1877, 435,
Russell 123, ,769; Greenhalge's plurality
63 ,666. Last year Greenhalge's plurality
was 35,607 The total vote is less than
last year when Greenhalge had 1872, ,613,
Russell ,016-fgures which show the
depth of the Democratic disgust with their
own party In Boston Russell had plu-
rality of only little more than 5000, against
over 5000 last year, the net Republican
gain in that city being over 5000. In the
| Congress delegation of Is members, FitZ-
gerald in the 9th district is the only spared
monument, the other II congressman being
Republicans Fitzgerald's majority was
5000 less than that of O'Neil, the Demo-
crat who was elected in the 9th district
two years ago. This is Republican gain
of three congressman. Four years ago the
Democrats had a majority of the delega-
| tun. Vermonters are interested to know
that Harrison Atwood, the young Republi'
can, who is a native of Londonderry, is
elected to Congress from the 10th district
! by a majority over 1000.

The Republicans elect all four congress
