COUNSEL.
Seek not to walk by borrowed light,
But keep unto thine own;
DO what thou doest with thy might
And trust myself alone'
Work for some good nor idly lie
Within the human hive,
And, though the outward man should die,
Keep thou the heart alive!
Strive not to Danish pain and doubt
In pleasures noisy din;
The peace thou seekest for without
Is only found within.
II fortune disregard thy claim
BY worth. her slight at test,
Nor blush and hang thy head for shame
When thou hast done thy best.
Disdain neglect, ignore despair,
On loves and friendships gone;
Plant thou thy feet, as on stair,
And mount right up and on.

German to the United States senate.

lican loss of over 1900
Iowa wss carried by the republicans
with big majority.

lets in Pennsylvania by 10000. The
usual republican majority is about

Seth Low was elected mayor of New
York by upwards Of 10000 plurality,
defeating the Tammany candidate.
Politics was wholly disregsrded. Purely
local matters determined the result.
Kentucky was carried by the demo-

democratic by an increased majority,

voc.

Hon. Samuel NJ. Ralston in his ad-

Franklin Tuesday, among other things
said:
Nor have l any fault to find with
the leadership of the democratic hosts
In those campaigns. My admiration
for him who led US is not easily ex-
pressed. [ thought then and l shall
think the purest, the most courageous
and most gifted statesman of this ma
ton is William Jennings Bryan. but |
realize that it would be no part of wis
dom If conditions continue as they are
to incorporate in our next national
declaration of principles a question on
whish our party is sharply if not hope
lessly divided and which cannot be
made an issue.
"The Democratic party when united
Is invincible and the demand of the hour
10 for union of democratic sentiment
and democratic forces. With the com.
ing Of democratic victory the country
will have cause for rejoicing. Law and
order will prevail. The law that makes
IL crime to asssssinste q democratic
president will be enforced against the
assassination of q republican governor
Party interests and the questions of the
day bid us turn our faces hopefully
toward the future while we are yet
within the light of Q glorious past"

LESSON OF THE ELECTION.

The results of the elections in the
different states are by no means dis
couraging to the democracy. Ken
lucky and Maryland both took their
places in the democratic column
with such substantial majorities as
leave no doubt as to their political
status in the future. Both of these
states will have able leadership,
German for Maryland and Waiter
son for Kentucky. The people
have confidence in their judgment
and so long as the fate of democ-
racy in these states is in their hands,
the democrats of the country need
have little anxiety as to where their
electoral votes will be placed.
The democracy made gains in
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Though far from success, the vote
shows returning confidence in the
party of Thomas Jefferson.
The defeat of Tammany is not
regretted by the democrats of the
country. Party lines in New York
city were disregarded. Low is as
much democrat as a republican.
He supported Grover Cleveland
each time he was a candidate for
president. In New York the con-
test was one of the people against
