We go to press too early for any

congressional and state elections the
Republicans have such signal vieto.
nv that official returns are not needed,
10 fact they are not wanted at Demo-
cratic headquarters.
Hill is defeated in New York by
100, 900 majority, 1ammany is kuoc-
ked in the city. All the New England
States report Republican gains. Iowa
goes that way by $4,000; Michigan
by 10000; Illinois by 100000; Wis
consin IS, 900; Indiana $4,000: Kan
sas 10000; California 10000; Penn
sylvania 80, 900; Ohio 100, 1000. The
Republicans gain congressman in Vir-
ginia, Louisiana, Kentucky, New
Jersey, Delaware, Indiana and every
where else. The House of Represen.
tatives will be Republican by a safe
majority.
Kentucky may have six Republics n
Congressman. Evans beats McDer-
mott in the Louisville district, Denny
appears to have Owens defeated in the
Ashland district; Montgomery in the
Fourth and McElroy in the Third are
probably defeated.

A Reorganization Effected.

The Grand Rivers Herald says
There has been a corporate organi
cation effected by the bondholders Of
the Grand Rivers company, and the
new company will own all the proper.
ty that has been bonded. In due time
this new company will take action
concerning the development OF Grand
Rivers, but We presume its members
have too much sense to make any
movement until the last remaining le-
gal obstacle is cleared up. The new
organization is very strong one, f..
nancially and in every other way, and
is perfectly able to let matters remain
as they are, or start things up, as
seems best. While the new organiza-
ton does not indicate an immediate
revival of the Grand Rivers enter
prise, it demonstrates the fact that
there is to be an organized effort to
build the place up, it all conditions
are found to be favorable. The new
will be conducted on the

PLEA FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY.
Cardinal Gibbons Hopes the Day
Is Coming When All Gods
Churches viii Unite.

Baltimore, Nd, Nov. 4.-Cardinal
Gibbons preached at the Cathedral
today on Christian Unity He
sire for the reunion of christianity
among many noble and earnest souls.
This desire is particularly NANTES,
in the English speaking world. 1t is
manifest in England and in the Uni
ted States. l myself have received
letters from influential Protestant mir
listers, expressing the hope Of reun-
ion, and inquiring as to the probable
basis of reconciliation. Reunion is
the great desire Of my heart. have
longed and prayed for it during all
the years of my ministry. | have
prayed that as we are bound to our
brethren by social and family, and by
natural aud commercial ties, so may
we be united with them in the bonds
of common faith.
The conditions of reunion are easier
than are generally imagined. OIL
course there can he no compromise on |
faith or morals. The doctrine and |
moral code that Christ has left us.
must remain Interchangeable. But the
church can modify and discipline to
suit the circumstances of the cause.
May the dag be fastened when the
hosts of christenjom will be
'eunited. Then, indeed, taey would
orm an army, which infdelity can
lot long resist, and they would soon
AIRY the light and faith of christian
utilization to the most remote and .
'enighted part of the globe. May
ne day soon come when all who pro-
ess the name of Christ may have one ,
,ord, one faith, and one baptism;
Fhen all shall be in one fold, under {
ne shepherd.
