New York gives Morton $4,000 plural

defeated in West Virginia by one thou

The Republican party has won the
most sweeping triumph since 1872. One
of its most striking features is the enor-
nous gain in the Republican vote in the
great cities. For twenty years-until
the past two seasons bitter experience
under Democratic legislation at Wash
ington-tne great cities have steadily in
creased their Democratic vote, leaving
the country and suburban districts as
the only stanch supporters of the Re-
publican National policy. The vote yes
terday indicates that experience has
brought marvellous change in the great
centers of industry. For the first time
in this generation every great American
city voted Republican yesterday-New
York by 10000, Boston by about $4,000,
Philadelphia by nearly 10000, Chicago
by about 10, OOO Buffalo by 5000, Cincin-
natl by over 10000, Rochester by 1890
and even st. Louis is reported to have
elected Republican Congressman.

New Jersey and Connecticut have taken
themselves decisively out of the doubtful
list The New Jersey Legislature is
overwhelmingly Republican, and will
elect Republican United States Senator
Connecticutis Republican by 5000 to
10000.
Ohio rolled up Republican majority
of 100000 on the State ticket, and elected
only three Democrats to Congress.
Colorado wiped out the Populist dis
grace with Republican plurality of 15,-
600.
Indiana Republicans claim the State by
10000 and the whole Congressional dele
cation.
Michigan Republicans elected their
whole State ticket, and probably all their
Congressman.
Wisconsin Republicans claim the State
by 25,0 900.
Illinois is Republican by probably co.
900. The Populists made large gains,
and the Democrats are apparently no.
where. The Legislature is Republican
and will elect a Resnblican United States
Senator. Chicago went Republican by
1900.
The storm interrupted communica-
tions from New England, but Massachu
sets is Overwhelmingly Republican, of
course, and the New Hampshire Legisla-
ture has great Republican majority
From every direction all the returns
received, reveal a Republican tidal wave.
CLEVELAND, HILL AND FLOWER,
The President was perfectly indiffer-
ent as to the returns and did not stay at
the White House to receive them
At Albany, Hill sauntered into the Exc
cutive chamber, at 7.3O, where the cleo
ton returns were to be received by the
Democratic State officials, Flower fol
lowed Is minutes later. At $50 both
had heard enough and went home. In so
doing they only followed the same mind
of their party all over the county.

Postal Matters.

The anpual report of Third Assistant
Postmaster General Craig has been made
to the Postmaster General. The third
assistant has charge of the divisions of
finance, postage stamps and stamped en-
velopes, registered letters, mails, etc.
The report shows that the postal rev.
enue from all sources for the year ended
June 80 last was S75, 0S0, 40, and that the
total expenditures was 1874, 1924 The
special delivery system has made slight
increase over the business of the previous
year. The total number of special de-
livery letters mailed was 3,436,970, and
net profits of the system amounted to
SS2, 4S7. The number of letters and par
cells registered during year at all post
offices was $780, 54.
The losses of registered matter during
the year average about one to every 49,
300 pieces. In the issue of stamps,
stamped envelopes and postal cards,
there was considerable falling off. The
total issues numbered 9, 66S, Sl9, DIG pieces
of the value of $40, 239, 9l0.65. I''
The postage on second class mail
amounted to $2,547, 903O6. The total
weight of this mail matter, including
that part of it which by law is mailed
free, was 299, 1858, 301 pounds.
The total saying on the several con-
tracts for stamped paper as compared
with previous arrangements during the
periods the contracts severally run, is
shown to be about 81 ,443,0 900.
The number of newspapers and period
icals admitted to the mails during the
year was 6003, of which 1904 were new
publications.

The Farmers' Home MARKET.

81 do not say that the tariff is the only
thing that influences the price of wheat
or the price of anything else. That
would be an exaggeration. The disad-
vantage the farmer is under is that he
does not know how many acres of wheat
other farmers are going to SOW this year.
He cannot tell what the foreign harvests
will be. These things affect favorably
or unfaYorably the prices, but the point
1 want to make is that the farmer sells
95 per cent. Of all the products of the
farm here at home, and that is the mar
ket he wants to look after. If men are
getting good wages they will live. We
may think man will eat about so much
bread every year anyway. but in that we
are greatly mistaken. This past year
has shown how largely the buying pow
er of our people has been reduced by
reason of the fact that so many were out
of employment and their wages cut off.
II leave to you the thought this morn
ing that, as farmers, as merchants, as
workingmen in these mines and factor
les, that are scattered through your
country, we want to preserve a class of
workingmen with wages enough to live
comfortably and wages enough to lay by
alittle for old age and to give to the
children little better chance than the
father had. If we can do that, nothing
can shake the sure repose of this grand
Republic we loye. It's people will be
happy and contented and the land full of
prosperous homes, "-Ex- President Har-
rison.

NEW YORK,

The Tribune's latest summary is as
follows: The elections in forty States
yesterday resulted in superb Republican
victories in all parts of the country.
New York State elected Morton, Sax
ton and Haight by majorities of more
than 1901 900.
In New York City Tammany is crushed I;
Colonel Strong was elected Mayor by
more than 10000, and the whole Union
ticket was successful.
The next Congress will have a secure
Republican majority, judging by the great

MASSACHUSETTS.

The Boston Globe (Democratic), says:
1.-THE Republican tidal wave swept over
Massachusetts yesterday and gave Gov.
Greenhalge one OF the greatest plurali-
ties ever known in the political history
of the State. The notable pluralities of
this generation were in 1868, when Grant
had 1909 and Gov. Clafin had 6S,S55.
In 1872 Gov. Washburn had 1924. At
this writing Il a. n.y., the indications are
that Gov. Greenhalge's plurality will run
from 10 600 to 72. 0OO.n

REPUBLICAN PROBABILITIES,

Indications point to Republican vic
tory in Idaho, both the State ticket and
congressman; in South Dakota, that the
plurality on the State ticket will be 49,
600, and we shall be very much disap-
pointed if the above figures, largely the
first returns, are not improved in Repub-
lican favor by the official count.

Democratic Loses.

Boston, Nov. Cone hundred and
ten towns give Greenhalge 1889 and
Russell 10, IA. This is a net Democratic
loss of 1912. Two hundred and two pre-
cincts in Boston give Russell 32, 1914 and
Greenhalge 1850. This is a net Demo-
cratic loss of 6.416.

NEW ENGLAND.

The vote of Massachusetts,, Rhode Is
land, Connecticut and New Hampshire
is being collected with difficulty. The
storm of Monday has so seriously af-
fected the wires that the returns are
meager from many localities. Every
thing, however, points to Republican
gains similar to those indicated from
other sections of the country. The Re-
publican plurality in Massachusetts
seems to have been about doubled.

MASSACHUSETTS,.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. THE in
dicatiOns point to Republican victory
unparalleled in the history of the State.
The vote of Boston shows enormous Re-
publican gains. The plurality of Green
halge for governor is estimated at

SLOW RETURNS BUT REPUBLI-

In Rhode Island two Republican Con-
gressmen were elected, and the verdict
of Little Rhody," given last spring,
was emphasized.
In New Hampshire the returns are
coming in very slowly. They all show Re-
publican gains. The Legislature will be
largely Republican and there is no doubt
of two Republican Congressman.

CONNECTICUT.

At midnight it is certain that the Re-
publicans have carried the State ticket
by from 5000 to 10000 votes. Besides
this they have gained three congressman

DEMOCRATIC SoLAcE,

In such States as Florida, Texas, Ar
kansas, Alabama and Missouri, like
some others already noted, the Demo-
Gratis carry the election. This is also
probably true of North Dakota. where
the Populists united with the Bourbons.

PENNSYLVANIA.

Pennsylvania elects the entire State
Republican ticket by very large ma
jority, and the Republicans have prob
ably gained some Congressman.
Seventeen out of 65 counties, exclusive
of Philadelphia and Allegheny, show a
Republican gain of over $4,000. The Re-
publican majority in 1892 was 63746.
The Democrats in the third Congress
sional District, new represented by Will
liam McAleer, Democrat, and for many
years represented by the late Samuel B.
Randall, were badly beaten. McCullen
Democratic candidate, is defeated by
Hall, Republican, by 5000 majority.

Republican Victory.
CONCLUDED from LIST page.l

In Nebraska the Republican governor
is probably elected by small majority:
1t is impossible to give an estimate OF
the result on Congress in the several
districts. The legislature is probably
Republican by small majority. 49,,
Minnesota, like other States where
Populism prevails, probably goes Repub-
lican by small majority. .,
In Colorado "Bloody Brides" Waite
is beaten, and the Republicans claim 49,
600 majority.
In Washington State the State ticket
and legislature are both Republican.
In California the Democrats claim the
State. q,
In Michigan Republicans have elected
Rich for governor and the entire State
ticket by plurality of from $4,000 to
10000. Ten out of twelve Congressman,
and more than two-thirds of the legisla-
ture thus far are claimed.

INDIANA.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov 9th. Forty
two precincts show an average Republi-
can gain of q to a precinct. Chairman
Gowdy says at this time the State will be
Republican by 10000 He predicts the
election of Republican legislature in
both branches, and says the State is safe
by 10000. The rate of increase, if main
tanned throughout the State, would
make the entire Congressional delega-
ton Republican.
Later.-The Republicans have cap
tured every one of the Congressional
districts.
The Indianapolis Journal, Republican,
claims the defeat of Bynum, Democrat,
in the 18th district, by 5000 to 1000.
Gen. Harrison Pleased
That Gen. Harrison was greatly
pleased with the results goes without
saying He stated that while he thought
the Republican leaders were placing
their estimates too low, still he was as
founded at the dimensions of that re-
port. He stated that until the result
was. definitely known he did not wish to
give any expression further than it was
his opinion the result is the protest of
the people against the policy of the Dem
ocratic Congress and Administration.

when space becomes near Y annfhiiated,
when personal concourse with friends
miles away is easy, and to hear the voices
Of the dead no longer nimpossibility Is
refreshing to meet with an incident which
battles the scientific man to account for, and
which sober common sense is at a loss to ex-

the little city of Boonville and surrounding
country engage in this kind of agriculture
explains why they are 50 thrifty and inde-
pendent to-day. The soil of 7 1ishomingo
county is admirably adapted to diversified
farming, and ii people ever wake from their
sleep on these questions there is at least an
easy and independent living waiting for

Third Party Ideas Of Law.

Tynes, Miss Oct Sl.-A populist down
here being informed that the law of supply
and demand regulated prices announced
that lie would vote for no man for office
who was not in favor of the repeal oil that
law.
Some of the populist down here believe
that the free and unlimited coinage OF sill
yer means that the government coin 1t and
distribute it among the people free and In
unlimited quantities to all who apply for 1t
We assert that there are third-party adyo-
Gates in this country who believe that and
can produce the evidence
One reason why we object and are op-
posed to the populist theory OF finance is
that we do not believe in such profuse
and indiscrimenate waste of paper. H. 1T.
