Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1896-11-05

After one of the hardest fought
political battles, the Republicans
and other sound money patriots won
at the polls on Tuesday, the most
signal victory ever gained by any po-
litical organization. The indications
are that Major Mckinley has receiv-
ed larger number of electoral votes
than were given to any candidate Tor
the Presidency. He has carried all
of the Eastern states, the Western,
and a number of the Southern states,
most of which have been considered
sure for any party branded with even
a sem blance of Democracy.
The splendid triumph OF TUESDAY
is not only the highest compliment
that could be paid to any statesman
of the day, but it is also complete
yindication at the hands of the
American people of the principles OF
the Republican party.
From present indications Major
Mckinley, as President, will have
the support of larger majority OF
the new Congress, than ever BEFORE
and that enough Republicans will be
elected to the Senate to prevent any
legislation favorable to free trade OF
the free coinage Of silver, and to
enact measures in favor of Protec'
ton, Reciprocity and Prosperity, and
such other legislation as good states
manship may consider necessary.
The result of the election is also
mighty protest against the debase
ment OF our currency, the repudia
tiou OF honest debts, and the infa
NOUS ante war doctrine OF Estate
Rights" and "State Supremacy"
At this writing it is impossible tt
give the results in detail Of the mag
niflcent victory, but enough is known
to assure our readers that thu
landslide OF 1896 is greater than tina
of 1892, and will result in Legislation
that will advance instead of injurinl
the business interests Of the country

ABEAsTLY PARENT.
Charged with Raping His Young
Daughter.

Helena, Mont, March 23.-Advices
from Virginia City bring to light crime
of a most revolving nature, wherein a
father is charged with havir & committed
rape on the person of his thirteen.yesr-
old daughter. There have been faint
rumors heard Of the terrible crime, but
officials would give no particulars. This
is due to the fact that they were endeav-
oring to catch the fend in human form.
The man escaped, and the facts are now
made public. The man charged with
this heinous offense is named Jacob
lain, a rancher in Washington Bar dis
trict, Madison county.
On Tuesday, March 10th, Nellie, his
daughter, made complaint to the county
authorities, charging that her father had
outraged her, not once, but on several
occasions. The first offense was com.
mitted eighteen months ago bnt threats
induced her to remain silent. The COM
plant which is sworn to by Mrs. Berger,
Miss Hani's aunt, charges Hahn with
outraging his daughter on several
occasions.
Hahn obtained information that he was
to be arrested and fled to the country.
Every effort is being made to ascertain
his whereabouts.

SPAIN HAS FAILED.
That is the General Impression at

Chicago, March 2o.--A special to the
Times Herald from Washington says
The impression strengthens in official
circles that Spain has made failure Of

be suppressed other than by wearing il

cerned, is now apparent. The rainy sea.

operations of a serious nature will have
to end.
Up to this time General Weyler has
made no substantial progress from mil.
itary point of view, and there is little
reason to hope that he will accomplish
anything in the short time remaining
for field work. Moreover land this is a
condition of affairs for which President
Cleveland has been waiting) there are
many indications that the Spanish au-
thorities are Departing of success 1t is
freely predicted by officials here, famil-
lar with what might be called the inside
of the situation that President Cleye-
land will intervene successfully within
sixty days. The interests of the United
States and of humanity require that the
struggle be not allowed to continue an
other winter, after another summer of
industrial paralysis.

been filing their claims with the United
States consuls during the last few
months, and they have been coming to
tt state department at the rate of one
ca two day recently. The claims are
for all kinds of damages inflicted on the
property and crops of the American
on-combatants. They are for the de-
struction of crops, machinery and build
ings, and the seizure of horses, cattle
and all kinds of domestic animals and
fowls, which have been taken by the
soldiers of one side or the other. The
Spanish soldiers have, IL is said, COM
mitted at least az MANY of the minor
depredations as the insurgents, if not
more. The larger amount of the claims
has resulted from the destruction Of
sugar cane.
The bill which the United States will
be called on to render on behalf of it,
citizens against Spain will be heavy
one. So long as Spain persists in main
tanning 1t as an instruction only tina
exists in the island, and not state o

surgents.
1t is not known whether Presiden
Cleveland's message will offer any sug
gestion as to the future course of thi
country towards Spain and Cuba, o
whether he will content himself wit
transmitting the correspondence. Tn
documents will be submitted to the cal
met some time today, and it may then b
determined whether it is necessary 70

the Cuban resolutions or to outline tn

For the last six months, according 10

councils throughout the country, and a
consensus Of the views of the order,
with carefully prepared table of the
results, was laid before the committee
here and fully discussed. All the coun-
cils are kept thoroughly informed as to
the growth, plans and work of the

today so as to convey to every council
in the land the action of the committee
and an outline of the work to be done
in the coming campaign. The number
of delegates who are members of the

Mr.. Dunn says, exceedingly gratifying.
Resolutions were adopted reafiirming
the principles of the order and COM
