As complete election returns come in it is evident that the Dem ocrats have suffered a complete Waterloo in the late Presidential election. Even the Solid South" is brokep, and Maryland, Delaware and probably Kentucky, have joined the Republican column. Tennessee and North Carolina have had 3 mar row escape from Republicanism
 while in Old Virginia, the seat Of the Confederate capital, the Demo. crats have been able to pull through only by reduced majorities. Every one of the doubtful central States,
 including Illinois, Indiana and West Virginia, all of which gave their electoral votes to the National Dem ocratic ticket four years ago, this year rolled up surprising Republi- can majorities. The triumph of Re publicanism this year is overwhelm- ing and complete, and in the face of such crushing defeat, with a divided party, it is at present i'm possible to predict the future of Democracy But the Democratic party is not dead: ithas suffered de feat before as overwhelming and crushing as thaeof tae present, and yet 1t has survived Like truth crushed to earth, 1t will rise again.

 The Republicans after the 4th of next March will have control of all the departments of government, but with such an unwieldIy majority in Congress, they can in the very riot ousness of their power and strength, be relied upon to commit some act to alienate the affections and confi- dence of the American people before the next President tial election rolls around.
 And then, good times will not come; the prosperity heralded by Republican exhorters will not mate rialize; affairs will go from bad to worse, and in disappointment and disgust the American voters will rise in their malesty and restore the Democratic party to power.

ONE of the greatest surprises of the recent election is the defeat of Gov. Altgeld, in Illinois, for re- election. Gov Altgeld had given the people of that State an honest and economical government and had reduced taxation; while his op- ponent, John R. Tanner, was uni versally recognized as a narrow minded partisan, with no special ability to fit him for so exalted an office, and altogether as an utterly unworthy man. Itis to Gov. Alt geld's credit, however, that he ran some Go, GOO votes ahead of the Democratic National ticket.

 Ut is absurd, ? wrote John Hay, "to call him modest man. No great man was ever modest.

The com monly accepted belief regarding his so called kind and fergiving nature is q great popular misconception Beneath an exterior of apparent indifference and want of force lived q man of the deep est subtlety and most consummate wis dom.

 In the face of all kinds of opposition and adverse criticism he was always cool and self possessed.

Little Anne's mother, says the Lon

her child's birth, and the infant was
handed over to the tender services of
Grandmother Holberry, who, in the
words of the prosecution, systematical-
ly neglected and underfed her and
drugged her with laudanum every
night. Ten drops at bedtime we're the
regular dose, and under Its effects the
poor infant was iE a constant state Of
stupor and able to take but little nour-
ishment. Her miserable condition and
the way she was being treated" ap-
pear to have attracted the attention
Of relatives. for Che infant was trans
ferred for a whlls to the keeping Of a
woman named Robinson, at Butter
wick. There the child's health rapidly
improved. and Z correspondence be-
tween the HolbtYrys and Mrs. Rollin-
son took place on the subject. In which
the former endaavored to exculpate
themselves, the man by throwing the
blame on the grandmother, and the
grandmother BIZ denying that there

was then, according to the medical
evidence, in filthy and emaciated con-
dition and suffering from some mar

disease, the medical witness expressed
the opinion that IL the treatment had
continued II could not have lived many
days longer. Yet once more under
proper care, little Anne began to re-
cover. and to increase In. weight at
the rate OF flfty-four ounces a month.
Mrs. Holbery denied the neglect and
attributed the emaciation to the effects
Of teething. but she was found guilty
and sentenced to six months impris-
onment, with hard labor. while the
father received the more severe SEN
tence of twelve months imprisonment

got others to accompany him in an ex.
