THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR.

The thickening fumes that scent tho
heated air.
Recall the camp. and spread before
mine eye
The pitch Of battle and the triumph
there.
The summon'd plowman Crasps tho
ready gun,
And swiftly strides across the fur
rows sod:
The smith. ere half the heated shoe
is done,
Swings on in haste, and rides the
steed unshod.
The mason filings his slitterIns trowei
by.
And leaves behind the pale and
weeping few.
The miller's wheel above the stream
hangs dry,
While DER the hill he waves the
swift adieu.
Lo, all the air Is throbbing to tine
drum:
In every highway sounds the shrilly
fife;
And flashing guns proclaim afar they
come,
Where hurried banners lead the way
to strife.
Though rude the music. and the arms
are rude.
And rustic garments fill the motley
line,
Yet noble hearts, with noble hopes i'm
bued.
Thrill through the ranks with ener-
gy divine;-
Thrill through the ranks until those
sounds become
Celestial melodies from freedoms
lips!
These arms an engine to strike despots
dumb.
And leave oppression bowling in
eclipse.
Then comes the struggle, ragin:-: loud
and long
The seven years. battle with the
banded foes
The tyrant, and the savage. and the
strong
woes.
Half clad and barefoot, bleeding where
they tread,
Where hunger and disease allied con-
sort,
The pale survivors stand among their
dead,
And brave the winter in their snow
valid fort.
But heavier than the storms which
fold the earth.
Than all the ills which winters hand
commits.
The bitter thought that at the sacred
hearth
OF unprotected homes some horror
sits.
But God is just; and they who suffer
most,
Win most: for tardy triumph comes
at last!
The patriot, bravely dying at his post,
Hath rivaled all the Caesars OF the
past.
Right coaquers wrong. and glory fol-
lows pain,
The cause Of freedom vindicated
stands;
And heaven consents; while. staring
DER the main,
All Europe greets us with approving
hands.
II now a film o'er-swim my aged gaze,
Or IL a tremor in my voice appear,
It is the memory of those glorious days
Which moves my falling frame and
starts tear.
oh. on this sacred spot again to rest,
Where pass'd the patriots, ere this
old heart faints!
Then depart. with contented breast,
Where they are walking crown'd
among the saints.
Here on the steps, made holy by their
tread,
I list their kindling voices as of yore:
And hear that bell, now hanging
sneechless. dead,

new JERSEYS ELECTION
Voorhees, Wins for Governor by 5000 Plu-
rality The Legislature Also
Republican.

Trenton Nov. 10--The New Jersey
legislature will stand exactly as it did
last year. In Tuesdays election the
Republicans lost the assemblyman
from Salem, but gained one in Passaic
county, where a year ago one of the
four Democrats was elected. This year
Passaic returned four Republicans. The
house will stand 81 Republicans and %
Democrats. This was as 1t stood in the
present year. The senate will again
stand IA Republicans and Democrats.
Thus on joint ballot the Republicans
will have 81 votes. against total DEM
cratic vote of so. This insures the cleo
ton of a Republican to succeed James
Smith, Democrat. in the national SEN
ate. Ex-Congressman Kean is conceded
to be the choice of the Republicans.
Seven of the senators elected Tues
day will hold office until 1901, and have
a vote for the successor of United
States Senator William j. Sewell. OF
the seven six are Republicans. The
Democrat IS Allan McDermott. of Hud-
SON. The election of the six Republic
can senators on Tuesday makes it al
most impossible that the Republicans
should lose control of that body for at
least Two years. ana makes IL reason
ably sure that the Republicans will
have a majority in the senate for the
.lext four years. unless in the elections
next November strong Republican
counties should fail. Thus Governor
elect Voorhees, is reasonably sure OF
having the senate Republican through
out his term.
Regarding the plurality of Governor
elect Voorhees, there is considerable diff
ference of opinion, some Republicans
claiming that it will reach $4,000, while
Mr.. Voorhees, himself believes that it
will count up 10000 at least. A con-
sentative estimate, however. would in
dictate that it will be little over 5,OOO

DELAWARE REPUBLICAN.
A Successor to Senator Cray to Be Cnosen,
Who Will Certainly be.a
Republican.

Wilmington. Del, Nov. 9.-Detailed
returns from Kent and Sussex counties
were not received until late this morn
Ing, but they were sufficient to show
that the next Legislature of this state
is Republican on joint ballot. This eff
fectually precludes the possibility of
Senator George Gray being his own
successor.
While some districts are so close that
they may possibly change present es-
Inmates, one Democratic representative
being elected by a plurality of only 2,
and several by pluralities of less than
Is, there is not a possibility of affecting
the Republican majority on joint ballot.
The control of the state senate by the
Democrats will prevent any partisan
legislation by the Republican major
ity, even without respect to the veto
power of Governor Tunnel, who is
Democrat.
According to complete returns from
the state, with the exception of a few
districts, the next legislature will stand
&c faIloruu.

The result of Tuesdays election is disap-
pointing enough to Jersey Democrats, but
late returns modify the majority as first
announced TO point not at all discourag-
ing When we remember that majority
of II. 900 three years ago has been reduced
to less than 5000, the Democracy may well
congratulate themselves on the progressive
indications.
The election of Loudenslager is disap-
pointing surprise, yet be has a rebuke from
his own county that will be wholesome
lesson for the future. This mornings re-
turns indicate that the next Congress will
be Democratic, hence his opportunity for
mischief will be curtailed to point to
render his presence there of no real injury
to the country.
Gloucester county Democrats have cause
for congratulstion they are in line with
the Democracy of the State and the ma
jority on Governor is not greatly above the
normal line. To this grand result, the
Democracy of Monroe. Clayton and Glass
boro made the largest contributions.
Our table of the result is official with
the exception of the First Precinct in

Washington, Nov. 1O.-C Chairman Bah
cock, of the Republican congressional
committee, said last evening that the
house of representatives of the Fifty
sixth congress would be Republican
without doubt. Throughout the day
and evening a corps of political statis-
ticians have BEEN at work in Republi-
can headquarters compiling and an
alyzing the returns. In a statement to
the press representatives Chairman
Babcock said:
There can be no longer any reason
able argument over the political COM
plexion of the next house of representa-
tives 1t will be Republican. beyond
the shadow of doubt. Our advices
show the certain election of 1856 Repub-
licans, six more than enough to give
us control. These are straight Re-
publicans, and our majority will be
over the combined opposition. Our in
formation induces us to place nine dis
tricts in doubt. These are the Seventh
California, the Third, Fourth, Fifth and
Sixth Nebraska, the Seventeenth, Nine
tenth and Twenty sixth Pennsylvania
and the Twelfth Texas. We are reason
ably certain to get some of these.
Without them. however, we have a
clear majority and are resting perfect
ly easy"
At the headquarters of the Demo-
cratic congressional committee conf
denee is expressed that the Democrats
will control the next house of represen-
tatives. Secretary Kerr will not con-
cede many of the claims made by
Chairman Babcock,- of the Republican
committee. and says that in large
number of districts it will require the
official count to determine definitely the
result
1T seems certain" said Secretary
Kerr, to press representative, that we
have elected 1873 members of the next
house, the Republicans 1853, and that of
IL districts are in doubt. In New York
we will have ri members in PennsyI-
vania 8 and perhaps 10, in Kansas 4 at
least, and perhaps 5, in Nebraska A. in
North Carolina and in California 2 or
8. Our figures are based upon definite
returns and I am satisfied that they
are entirely accurate
Following is a list of congressman
elect compiled from the latest news

publicans have elected ISL members,

cans, fusionists and all others have

Columbus, Nov. 9.-Chairman Black
err, of the Democratic state committee,
comedies the state to the Republicans
by over 10000 plurality, and Chairman
Daugherty. of the Republican state
committee, claims about $4,000. The
Ohio congressional delegation remains
the same as at present, Is to 6, each
party carrying precisely the same dis
tricts as at the presidential election
two years ago. The Democrats do not
concede the reelection of Congress-
man Weaver in the Seventh district,
the home of Governor Bushnell. Dur
ing the Hanna senatorial contest last
January Congressman Weaver headed
delegation that called on Governor
Bushnell and protested against the
governors action in the senatorial
contest.

jority on joint ballot of 80, enabling
them to elect Republican successor to
United States Senator Murphy, Demo-
crat. The assembly is Republican by a
plurality of at least rs. The Republi-
cans claim SO assemblymen against 81
Democratic.
Every condition was favorable to the
polling of full vote in all parts of the
state In this city there was no fulfill
ment of predictions of trouble at the
polls. The state deputies, authorized by
act of the last legislature, were most in
evidence in the east side districts,
where the cheap lodging houses are
located. The number of arrests made
was below rather than beyond the
usual record of a general election, and
in many cases the occasion was found
to be in the carelessness of registration
clerks. Fights at the polls were few and
easily quelled. There was no friction
between deputies and police, one lend
ing assistance to the other in the pres
ervation of order.
All Colonel Roosevelt's associates on
the Republican state ticket are
elected with him. The returns both
from greater New York and from the
counties outside of this municipality
are incomplete, but enough have been
received to indicate heavy falling off
in the vote up the state, while the vote
in the city was well sustained. The con-
sequence is falling off in the Repub-
lican plurality in the state from $4,000
to the appropriated figures given
above. Outside of greater New York the
vote for Van Wyck is only about one
fifth of one per cent. above that of
Porter in 1896. There appears to be a
loss of four Republican congressman in
the Brooklyn district, the Second.
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth; and Con-
gresham Quigg, who had a majority
of about 5000 at the election last year,

Baltimore, Nov. 9.-Full and semi
official returns from the city of Balts-
more and partial returns from the bal.
ance of the state make it reasonably
certain that Maryland has returned
four Republican and two Democratic
congressman, after an extraordinarily
close but entirely listless election. This
is Democratic gain of two. The sue
cessful are: John Walter Smith. DEM,
First district. by majority of about
900; William B. Baker. Rep, Second
district, by from 200 to 400; Frank G.
Wachter, Rep, Third district, by So
majority; James w. Denny, Dem.
Fourth district. by about 500; Sydney
E. Mudd, Rep, Fifth district, by about
900; George A. Pearre, Rep, Sixth
district, by about 1900. The Demo-
Gratis succeeded in obtaining a major
ity of the popular vote in Baltimore
city for the first time in six years. and
there is but little doubt that they
would have sent five congressman to
the next national legislature If an ae-
tive and aggressive compaign had been
made. The entire delegation, with the
exception of Messrs. Mudd and Baker.
are new timber, and all are looked
upon as favoring a gold standard of

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 9.-The re-
suit of the election in this state yester-
day was a general victory for the Re-
publican ticket. Complete returns from
1855 towns of the 1853 in the state give
Lounsbury. Rep., 75,057; Morgan, Dem.
IS, 406. The same towns in 1896 gave
Cooke. Rep. 1905 Sargent, Dem, 81,
1886. The majorities average fully 10000.
The Republican candidates appear to
have suffered most from the general
decrease in the vote, but no particular
dfsaffection can be said to be shown by
the general result. The only real con-
test was in the Second district where
Congressman N. D. Sperry, the Re-
publican nominee and James Fl. Webb,
DEM, were the opposing candidates.
Sperry's majority was 1925. The re-
turns indicate that the Republicans
will have majority of at least 50 in
the general assembly

New York, Nov. 9.-Theodore Roose-
welt, the Republican nominee, has car
ried the state by plurality over Au-
gustus Van Wyck of 21.286 votes. The
Republican vote shows falling off as
compared with that for Governor
Black, in 1896. of about IA per cent. In
the municipality of New York the old
time Democratic majority was ap-
proximated. Van Wyck's vote being
about $4,000 greater than that of the
Republican candidate. This latter re-
suit was helped in some measure by
the result in the borough of Brooklyn
(Kings county,, which in 1896 gave
Black a plurality of 1852, but yes
terday gave Democratic plurality of
about 1880. Brooklyn is the home of
Judge Van Wyck.
The returns from many counties up
the state are incomplete, and in some
cases are missing altogether. The in
dications. being computations upon the
figures at hand. point to a Republican
plurality in the counties above Harlem
of about 100000. to offset which the
Democrats can produce only the $4,000
plurality of greater New York.
The soldier vote will not be counted
until Dec. /, but it is not likely that

terially alter the result. There would
