THE TIDE STILL AGAINST THE
DENfOCRATC

The tide which set in against the Demo.
Gratis at the congressional election in 1894,
was still running against them last Tues
day, and was greatly aided in it's destruc-
tive work Ivy the divisions that have grown
up in the party.
In New York, where the Democrats are
split into many pieces, the Republicans
carried their State ticket by $4,000 MAORI
ty, and carried the legislature. The Tam
many ticket was elected in New York
city.
In MARYLAND, where the Democracy was
split into German and anti-GOrman fac
tons, the Republicans, with the aid of the
latter, carried their State ticket by L COO
majority, and also carried the legislature
and the Mayor and whole city government
of Baltimore.
In New Jersey, the Republicans who
have often carried the legislature, but never
before their State ticket, this time carried
both, the State ticket by $4,000 majority.
In Kentucky, the Republicans elected
their State ticket and carried the legisla-
ture making the next Senator Republican.
All of the above States are Democratic
and their loss now is to be largely attribu-
ted to Democratic discussions.
In Ohio, Republican State, where the
Democrats had a bare fighting chance to
carry the legislature, they were defeated by
an immense majority.

held elections, the Republicans increased
their majority.
The relative situation in the country in
1895 is precisely the same that existed af-
ter the tremendous rout of the Republicans
by the Democrats in 1890, and their con-
tinued rout in State elections till the Dem
ocratic election of Cleveland in 1892. In
this year of 1895 the Democratic defeats
are continued as the Republican defeats
were continued in 1891.
Virginia comes up all right, and with
not many changes in the legislature. The
Senate which last session stood Democrats
80, Pop. ], will now stand Democrats 81,
Rep. and Pop. 8. The Democrats lost the
Manchester district, the Patrick district,
the Shenandoah district and the Roanoke
district, as far as heard from.
