Republican gains OF congressman con-
tinue as the returns come in, and it is
now probable that the Republican ma
jority in the next House will be above
sixty The country has gone as far as it
could in this election toward turning the
Democracy out of power. 1t would gladly
have got rid of the Democratic Presi-
dent and the Democratic Senate if it
could, but for this it must wait with
what patience it can command two
years longer. The result has been
brought about almost entirely by the
Democrats themselves. The country en-
trusted them with power ON the strength
of their promises that they could and
would exercise it with wisdom and dis
cretion. They have been on trial nearly
two years, and Tuesdays election was
simply the peoples verdict upon their
stewardship. Will anybody say that it
was an unjust or mistaken verdict? Can
any Democrat look back upon the career
Of the Democratic Congress during the
last eighteen months and say that the
verdict was unfair? What did the Demo-
cratic Congress do to command the re-
spect and. approval of the people? Can
any Democrat point to a single act? Its
chief work vas pronounced by SO dis
tinguished Democrat as the President
of the United States as tainted with
perfidy and dishonor, it was proclaimed
by the most distinguished Democratic
leader in the House TO have been guided
and controlled by the most powerful and
INSCRIPTIONS monopoly in the country,
it was said by a half dozen different
Democratic leaders to please nobody and
to affront everybody. Could the people
be expected to put higher estimate
upon Democratic performance that the
chief apostles of the party did? Certain
ly not. Defeat, and overwhelming de-
feat, was what the Democratic Congress
had every reason to expect that it would
get because it knew that it richly de-
| served it. 1t WAS given power upon the
strength of the claim of it's party that it
had wisdom, honor and ability 1T
| turned out to possess not one Of these
qualities The people condemned it be-
cause it had cheated and deceived them.
1t had proved an unfaithful servant
and the country kicked it out.

The carrying of Tenne ssee by the Re-
publicans is political event of great
interest, although by no means unprece-
dented, as General Grant carried the
state in the presidential election of 1865
against Seymour, Democrat, by q vote
of 56,757 to 26,311. In 1888 Harrison
came quite near carrying the state, East
Tennessees' traditional loyalty to Repub-
liean principles nearly offsetting the old
Bourbon elements of the western coun-
ties. In 1880, Hancock carried the state
against Garfield by 12s, 1911 to 107. 677,
and this has about represented the
strength of the parties back to the days
of Grant. Tennessee was out of the I'm
ion at the second election Of Lincoln. At
the first Lincoln election there was not a
single vote for the Republican, John
Bell, Union party, carrying the state by
6g.274 to 64,709 for Breckenridge, and
II, $50 for Douglass. Buchanan carried
tie state in 1896. although Fillmore,
Wing, had large vote. In fact. Ten
nessee was good ground for the Wings
hack as far as the time when Andrew
Jackson used to run for President. Then
the state was always nearly unanimous
for the old war horse, even when Henry
Clay was candidate on the other side

Where the Blame Lies.

The Republican party is primar>
lily responsible for the distress of
gold contraction. That party ap-
proved the fraud Of 1913, which
struck the silver dollar from the
list of coins, and on all occasions
gave three fOurths of its votes in
Congress to keep silver demoneti-
zed. The Democratic party, until
the election Of Mr.. Cleveland, was
opposed to the gold standard and
voted for Congress to restore silver
coinage. But Mr.. Cleveland, after
his election, took lessons from Mr..
Sherman, joined the gold Republi-
cans aud fought with them; final
ly, in extra session, by his power
and patronage, he brought over
from the ranks of free coinage
Democrats enough recruits TO tbs
gold Republicans to ratify the
crime of 1873 and perfect the work

Square Talk.

The San Francisco Call, a Re-

some real POpulist ideas; in a re-
cent editorial it talks facts and
sense in the following off hand way:
'It is not possible to supplant
Democratic bosses with Republi-
can, nor Republican with Demo
cratic. Let win who will, the win
ners and losers will join hands to
despoil the taxpayers" "Buckley
will be as much a power with the

publicans as he will if the Demo
Gratis carry the election" ga ma
tional party ticket cannot be NAM

foundation. The time is ripe for
such movement

Government Ownership.

If our government owned the
railroads we could go to San Fran
cisco from Boston for so. Look
at the proof: Uncle Sam pays
the railroads not quite S275 to
transport Il loaded postal car from
Boston to San Francisco. y pas
senger car will carry fifty pasSen-
gers, which at so each, would be
$500 or a clear profit of S225 car,
and this too, after paying 81 per
cent. on watered stock, which is
fully 100 per cent. OH the cost OF
the roads.
To show how our railroads have
watered their stock, | point to the
New York Central Il Hudson River
railroad which, when the Wander
bilts obtained control in 1869 was
capitalized at $49,0O0,000. They
at once watered it up to S90,000,-
600, more water has been added
until the present capital stock is
S146.OO0,0 ,0OO-all but $l5,000,0OO
being water.
Government ownership would
save the people the gigantic sum
of 1000, 100000 year and bring
shorter hours and better pay to the
10000 railroad employees.

how do not buy of them have all
the stuff, they would soon fix things

THE CRIME CONTEMPLATED.

The Programme of the American Bankers
Association Is to Become the Law of the
Land.
An effort is to be made by the money
power to secure such legislation dur
ing the closing session of this congress
as will universally fix the gold stand
ard and national bank supremacy up
on this country. There certainly will
be an effort to retire the greenbacks
end do away with all government
money.
The money power sees the storm
coming, and it proposes to intrench it.
self before the hosts OF free silver and
increased circulation arrive on the
grounds. Already plans are being for
mulated by the bank combines, and
drafts of bills to carry out their
schemes, will be ready for the next
session to act upon. The bank COM
bines have the power to force almost
any measure through this congress
with Cleveland at their backs. If they
cannot get what they want any other
way they will create a panic.
A recent letter of Henry Clews, the
Wall street banker, foreshadows these
results Mr.. Clews says:
There has been no congressional
action to show very clearly how con-
gressional opinion stands upon the
currency issue, but among members of
the house, who have been best situated
to form judgment, there is strong
hope that it may be found possible to
carry through, before March, a meas
ure that will set at rest the silver and
fiat money crazes through putting our
bank currency system upon broader
and more liberal and yet absolutely Sc
cure basis, and by substituting it for
the $500, 900, 900 of government notes,
which now constitute the weak feature
of'our monetary system. If this can
be done the monetary complexion of
the new congress will be a matter of
secondary Importance. It rests very
much with the men of finance-whose
experience affords the best qualifca-
tions for guiding opinion on this ques-
tion-to show the way towards an early
and wise settlement of this vexed ques-
ton. There are ways in which they
can make their guidance influential,
and in proportion as they discreetly
use their power, will be the chances of
final placing of the currency settle
ment beyond the reach of both silver
maniacs and populists." - Southern

What Will They Do?

The question naturally arises,
what will the people in the coun-

upon whose patronage and trade
the prosperity of the city depends,
do about it! Is it reasonable to-
suppose that twO-thirds of the pop
ulatiOn of these counties which
differ with democratic policy and
principles are going to quietly sub.
init, and see all their efforts at
trying to ameliOrate their condi
ton brought to naught by the
fraud aad corruption practiced by
the city of Augusta We warn the
business men of that city not to
hug such delusion to their bOs-
Oms. The feelings of the country
people are becoming aroused and
indignation is reaching the boiling
point, at the Outrages committed

Of party supremacy by the toughs,

go1ues of that city. A word 10
