TUESDAYS ELECTION.
Democrats Show Gains And In
creased MajOrities in Mauy
States.

There were elections in many of the
states last Tuesday, and although an
off year, the Democrats are very much
encouraged. Several Democratic states
which went Republican last year, have
returned to the Democratic fold. and
everywhere there is evidence of Demo-
cratic gain. Following is n synopsis
of the situation as it has apperaed in
the papers:
Interest in the New York election
was not confined to developments in
the city. The whole state participated
in the election for chief judge of the
court Of appeals. There were several
candidates, and the winner is \. Il.
Parker, Democrat. His plurality is in
the neighborhood of 10000 votes. The
New York legislature is still over
whelmingly Republican.
News from Ohio is encouraging.
Hamilton county, in which Cincinnati
ii is located, and which gave Mckinley
a heavy majority last year, went Dem
ocratic by about 1000 votes. How the
legislature will stand is not definitely
known, though it is likely that the
Republican majority will be reduced
to about five on joint ballot. A rumor
has been put in circulation TO the ef-
feet that Hanna will be prevented from
rteurning To the senate. The scheme
is this Instead of putting up can
didate of their own, the Democrats
will unite with anti-Hanna Republi-
cans and elect Governor Bushnell. III
Bushnell declines to run, they will
unite on some other Republican,. The
rumor, il is said, is giving the Hanna
people great uucasiness. There j. al

10 boom John r. Mclean for president
in 1900. The people are giving him
credit for the reduction OF the RcpUb-
lican plurality from $1,000 last year, TO
something like half those figures.
The Democrats gained every whore
in Kentucky and carried the state by
a ma jori;y OF fifteen or twenty thou
sand. The legislature will be over
whelmingly Democratic, and there ia
talk OF sending Blackburn to the Sen
ate: but this cannot be done until af-
ter there is another election, as Sem
ator Lindsay's term does not expire in
time.
The Republicans carried Pennsylva-
MIA by $4,000 plurality, and Massa-
chusetts by about 100000. In Virginia
the Democrats made a clean sweep by
an increased majority. In Maryland,
the election is so close that il can only
be settled by the official count; but il
looks as il a Republican will succeed
German in the United States senate.
Nebraska shows largely increased
majority for free silver. Iowa goes
Republican by q majority Of about 3O.-
900.

1t seems strange that our farm
ers will take no better care of
their cotton. We have already
had a few bales of damaged cot

it is cheap, but so much the more

Facts About Wheat.

Inc johnston MUni,or says that
IL urging our farmers to once
more turn their attention 10 the
raising OF their own "hog and
hominy" we should not omit to
put in a word in behalf OF wheat.
Every farmer could and should
devote a few acres every year to
the cultivation of wheat. The
Greenville News speaks Of a
farmer who reasons in this way
"He has five acres that he can SOW
in wheat and he is not ont one
cent OF money for cultivating it.
If the crop is dead failure he is
no poorer If he makes forty
bushels of wheat he is shared the
necessity of spending $40 for
flour. IF wheat should fall TO so
cents a bushel he would still be
compelled to spend perhaps $40
for wheat. Having the spare la
Dor and land and stock, it is a
saving to him to raise this wheat
no matter what the price may be
in the West"
In conversation with DR.. Tim
norman he told us that he had
sowed wheat every year since '56
and he had made only two fail
ures, and one of them resulted
from late frost which occurred
when the wheat was inthe boot.
Forty years with only two fail
ures and yet many farmers say
thaG wheatis too uncertain crop
to be wasting time or. This is
mistaken idea and one that we
hope will be generally discarded
and every farmer resolve to make
at least one more effort to be-
come independent ofWestern dol.

crops are the lever that move the
business world; then, let him
move that lever by controlling it
in an organized capacity, keeping
steadily in view his great motto,

ReOrganize The Alliance.

1t Is pity to see the apathy
manifested in maintaining the
Alliance organization. 1t has &C
complished great deal for The
farmers. II In no other way, 10y
showing them what their power is
when organized. Every farmer
can readily recall how they stamp
ed the life out Of the jute trust u
few years ago, when the insolent
srust attempted to levy a tribute
npon them by raising the price of
bagging: and they can readily re-
call how effectually the squelched
the tie trust last year and they
can equally as readily understand
chat they were enabled to bring
the whole force of their power to
bear upon these trusts and assail
them with a solid front because
they had the organized machinery
at hand to marshal their forces.
And who can doubt that right
now, if they were as thoroughly
orga aniZed and united as they were
Six and eight years ago, that they
could control the cotton market,
and have at least some voice in
regulating the price by regulating
the amount put on the market?
As it is, they are practically dis
organized all over the South. and
the greed of trusts and corpora
uons is chuckling over the fact
that they have the cotton market
AZ their mercy. Every other call

and mutual self-interest,and some

FACTS IN CAPT. cARrER's CASE.
Congress VIII Ask the War Depart
ment for All the Information in Its
Possession
From the Baltimore sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Washington, Dec. 5.-A resolution win
pc presented to congress, probably SONS
time this week, calling upon the war de-
partment for all information in its posses
sion relating to the case of Capt. Carter,
the engineer officer Who is 10 be tried
at Savannah on Jan upon serious
charges. The purpose of the resolution
will be to secure the report made by the
board which has already investigated the
affair and submitted it's results 10 the de-
partment Upon this report the court
martial was ordered.
An intimalion Of the character of the
findings of the board has leaked out at
the war department. and il is belieV Ell
the publicity which win attend the publ
cation of the report may lead TO import
ant results, ending in congress invesi-
eating the methods of awarding and con-
Quoting river ana harbor contracts. \
plan has lately been suggested to change
the system of contract work, and those
who are DESTROYS of effecting this change
believe they viii be furnished with a con-
elusive argument in the information which
congress will request.
If congress should find that there is
something radically wrong in the present
system of conducting contracts for harbor
work, there is little doubt the duties now
devolvng on engineers may be eonsid-
erably changed. Secretary Alger is known
to be deeply worried over the prospects
of disclosures coming out at the Carter
court martial, and Gen. Wilson, the chief
of engineers, feels that his corps has been
deeply embarrassed by facts already de
veloped. The case may lead to a change
in the entire system of improving the
rivers and harbors, or at least the dis
bursements of money will be taken from
engineers
