This table shows that the Republi
cans carried six States and the Demo
Gratis five and that the Republican
maiorities exceed the Democratic ma
jorities by I4I,I75, or are nearly
double. Besides, the Democratic
ticket in Virginia had practically no
opposition as the Republican State
Committee refused to call State con-
vention TO nominate a candidate for
Governor. If the Republicans had
made campaign in that State the
Democratic majority would have been
reduced two-thirds. Then, too, the
Democratic majority in New York

the Low Republicans to vote the Re-

they were dissatisfied with it but be-
cause it was not printed on their bal

GOOD TIMES AHEAD.

Senator S. B. Elkins recently favor
ed a reporter of the New York Mail
and Express with an interview in
which, he took an optimistic view of
public affairs, especially the admins
tration of President Mckinley. We
quote him as follows:
president Mckinley is stronger
than ever throughout the country and
/ believe that the policy he has pur.
sued saved us the States Of Maryland
and Ohio, redeemed South Dakota,
and. in addition, increased the Re
publican vote in Kansas, Nebraska
and other far Western States. doubt
whether any rational administration
ever escaped a reverse in the year at
ter a Presidential contest, tor men who
leave their party under stress OF great
national issues unusually take of
wears in which to return to their ma
tural affiliations. When we recall the
unprecedented breaking up of party
lines that occurred last year, resulting
in McKinley's election, it is most re-
markable, I think, that the reaction
should have been checked at all, ant
attribute it to the satisfaction of the
people with the earnest manner in
which the Mckinley administration
promptly addressed itself to the tariff

A Few COLD FACTS.

1t is ungenerous, perhaps, to inter
fere with the hilarious time some oil
the not well-informed Democratic
newspapers are having over what they
call the Democratic cyclone" of last
Tuesday. They have abated their
assertions much since Wednesday
morning when only meagre returns
were in from Democratic strongholds
and large gains were being figured
out from claims and baseless reports.
But facts are facts and they must be
acknowledged even ii they do make
some vociferous claimants look ridi-
culous.
Only unofficial figures are at hand
as yet but they are near enough to
completeness to show how the cleo
ton went in the eleven States where
elections were held. The following

and the total majority received by

LIGHTING THE PARKS.
Col. Wilson's Actisa to the POtO-
mac Company Approved.

A few days ago Col. j. NJ. Wilson, iu
charge of public buildings and grounds.
wrote ii letter to the chief of engineers in
regard to the execution of The contract
with the Potomac Electric Power Company
for putting electric lights in Lafayette.
Franklin, Judiciary and Lincoln PARKS.
Proposals for this work w"fe opened in
July last, but delay arose in awarding the
contract owing to certain legal uues Tons
as to the authority OF the District Com
m:ssioners to authorize subways through
the streets.
In his letter 10 the chief OF engineers col.
Wilson says that the courts having appar
emily sustained the District Commissioners
in the legal questions involved and the Po-
toiuac company having commenced laying
suhways in the streets under permits from
the District Commissioners, he assumed
tEat the questions Of law were settled and
therefore recommended the award OF the
contract for lighting the parks to the Po-
tomac company as the lowest bidder. His
recommendation was approved and the
contract executed accordingly.
Col. Wilson says that the Potomac com
pany has reached Lafayette Square with
its Conduits. but not with its electric
cables. and now desires to eLter the park
Ia excavate and lay subways. In the
meantime" says Col Wilson, the Senate
ject and is nvestigating the question oil
authority of the Commissioners to permit
subways TO be laid. l am Informed joint
re: Gluten on the subject vii! be repor, ed
ard that there is possibility of congress
sional action prohibiting for the present
further excavations and subways.
up to this time, far as this Office is
concerned. the company has incurred 70
expense, so far as ! am aware, in con-
nection with lighting the parks as its con-
tract was ONLY approved January t. and
the company notified January IL.
NO damage can accrue to the United
States by temporary delay. and | think
that out of courtesy to the legislative
branch of the government demands we
should walt a reasonable period to see
whether Congress intends to take further
action in the matter. l therefore recon-
mend that j may be directed not TO grant
authority to open trenches in the parks
for subways Intil Congress- either by di-
rect action or by. lack of action during the
present session, shall indicate its wishes III
the matter
His recommendation was approved by
Col. Mackenzie, acting chief Of engineers
and he was authorized to withhold the de-
sired permission for opening trenches in the
parks until the possible action by Con-
gress at its present session in regard to ths
matter is known" The company has been
notifi-d that its application has been denied
for the present
