Tuesdays election resulted dlsas-
trously to the Democrats everywhere.
There were Republican gains III every
State. The Republicans carried all OF
New York except the city, which was
retained by Tammauy Democrats.
Both house and senate will be Repub-
hcan. The vote in Kentucky was
very close; but the indications are
that Bradley, Republican, has been
elected governor, over Hardin, Demo-
crat, and the legislature will be Repub-
lican on d joint ballot. Blackburn
will therefore not be allowed to suc-
ceed himself in the United States SEN
ate. This result was brought about by
the action of the administration Demo-
Gratis in either staying away from the
polls or voting with the Republicans.
Ohio went Republican by a majority of
something like 100000. The Repub-
lican majority in Nebraska was great
ly reduced but the Republicans car
ried the State as usual German and
the Democratic ticket were defeated in
Maryland. The other States in which
the elections were carried by the Re-
publicans were as follows: Iowa, 1lli-
nois, New Jersey, Virginia, Kansas,
Massachusetts and Utah. The only
State in which the Democrats came
out victorious, was Mississippi. AS
the result of the elections, the Repub-
licans gain five United States senators;
but except in the case Of the two from
Utah, none of them will take their
seats until the 4th of March, 1897.
After that date the Democrats will
have 80 senators and the Republicans
will have A.
Great Britain is in for another war.
This time it is with the king of Ashan-
tee on the west coast of Africa. The
king of Ashantee rules about 3,OOO,.
900 half civilized people, who are SAID
to be very fierce and warlike in their
disposition. The trouble has its origin
in the same old story-Great Brit
aims greed for land and gold. Asian.
tee comprises the richest portion OF
the very rich gold territory of Africa,
and the natives excel III the manufac-
ture of trinkets and ornaments OF gold.
They use gold dust and nuggets for
money. Some time ago, Great Britain
sent TO the king an expedition bearing
a proposition to the effect that the
Asbantees must either accept the resi-
dence of British resident and Brit
ish protection, or fight. The king sent
word that he preferred to fight, and
Great Britain is now arranging to send
a large army into the country. The
Ashantees, of course, will get the worst
of it: but the outlook is that before the
affair is settled they will draw consid-
cradle blood.
What Miller Thinks.
The Columbia State has published a
long interview with Tom Miller, the
colored delegate from Beaufort, in re-
gard to the suffrage plan adopted in
the constitution of the State. Miller
indicates that a vigorous fight will be
made in the courts, and that the attack
will be directed against the very root
of the new constitution. He believes,
so he says, that the election at which
the convention was called was fraudu-
lent, and that the convention itself
represents the votes of only about one
fourth of the votes ofthe State. In his
view the only method by which the
new constitution can be established in
the consideration of the courts, is by
its endorsement by majority vote OF
the people.
