The Solid West.

1t is a significant fact that of the Is
states west of the Mississippi, eXclud
ing Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and
Texas which are properly grouped
with the South. the Republicans
carried IA in last weeks elections. The
Democrats carried only Nevada, and
that by very narrow margin. In
1898 the Republicans carried only
eight of these Is states and the Demo-
Gratis carried the other seven. some by
very large majorities. In that great
empire of the West the Republican
triumph was no less emphatic than it
was in Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wis
consin, Indiana and Pennsylvania.
The following table published by the
Philadelphia Press. gives the ma
jorities in each of these states in 1895,

an overwhelming flood of selling orders,

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET,
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Nov. 11.-There was fresh
outbreak of demoraliZa ton on the Stock
Exchange, this afternoon, after quite a
substantial recovery had been achieved.
this morning. The manner in which the
market acted at the recovery was such
as to give some preparation for the re.
newal of heavy liquidation. 1t is a max
i'm of professional traders after a day Of
such violent declines as those of yester-
day. to buy stocks and cover short con-
tracts. This was the course pursued in
this mornings market, resulting in adj
vances of from to points in the ma
jority of leading active stocks on the list.
The market wavered uncertainty through
the MONDAY period and even stood with
apparent equanimity the early stages of
the violent liquiaation in Amalgamated
Copper. The seemingly endless Outpour-
Ing of this stock eventually undermined
the market. The identity OF the capital
lists in control of this corporation with
those controlling the Standard Oil Co.
and the enormous prestige carried by this
group In financial affairs, caused deep
significance to be attached to the I'M
loading in Amalgamated Copper As a
consequence enormous liquidation was re-
newed throughout the list. Some of the
stocks which took a leading place In the
morning recovery were the most acute
sufferers in the late weakness Just at
the close ST. Paul made a spectacular

Four years ago the Republicans had
n majority of 1880 in these trans
Mississippi states. although they car
ried only eight of them. This year
they carry fourteen and have a ma
jority of 27S,6O0. The total Republic
can majority has nearly doubled. while
the total Democratic majority has
fallen off to an insignificant figure.
Another way to test the growth of
Republicanism in these western states
is to compare the number of represent
tatives of each party they elected to
the seth Congress. chosen in 1898, and
the number elected to the 5Sth Con-
gress, just chosen. Four years ago
the Republicans elected 40 representa-
tives and the Democrats II. Last
Tuesday the Republicans elected 40
and the Democrats 3, falling off of
three for the latter. notwithstanding
the fact that the number of represent
tatives from that region has been in
creased by seven.

War Medals for Maine Men.


Somebody in digging into the records
of the war department has discovered
1.-THE interesting fact that more soldiers
from Maine have been given medals
for gallantry and merit than from any
other state. Out of the total of about
24OO medals which have been awarded
since the custom was originated oy
Congress, early in the Civil War, no
fewer than sSS, or over a third of the
total number, have been given to vol
unteers from this State. This is re-
markable record on the face OF 1t, but
little investigation shows that it IS
hardly fair to give these figures With
out an explanation Of how it came
about. 1t seems that the officers ana
men of the 9th Maine infantry. to the
number of S64. were decorated in 1865
for volunteering to remain in service
and participate in the battle of Gettys-
hurg their terms of service having ex-
pired," although IS fact only 3OO VOL
unteered to remain and did remain on
Arlington Heights, near Washington,
till the result of the battle of Gettys-
burg had been made known. 1t is
nothing to the discredit of the gallant
and patriotic 9th Maine to observe
that such wholesale granting of medals
was too much of good thing, and IN
no other instance were they awarded
in such indiscriminate fashion.
In that year. 1865, only 1156 medals
were granted, of which 1874 went to the
Maine men. The granting of medals
for gallantry i'm the Civil War still con-
tinues. AS late as 1894 there were
granted 1i9 medals, the second largest
number ever issued in a single year.
In 1897 there were issued 100. The re-
cords of all the other years fall inside
of 100. the years 1868 and 1888 having
onlv two each. and 1881 and 1885 none.
The scrutiny to which every claim is
now subjected was shown in the fiscal
year 1901, when out of 60 applications
based on Civil War incidents, only four
were granted.
OF the states whose volunteers have
been decorated, Maine as indicated
above. takes the highest place, with
SsS medal men. This means that "A
Maine soldiers in the Civil War, out |,
side of the 9th Maine which was dec
grated en- masse, We're given special /
medals for gallantry. OF the states
which did not enjoy any wholesale out !
pouring, New York stands first, with |
236 medal men, Pennsylvania second, !
with 1872 and Ohio third with 127. Hi
nois, fourth in rank, has had 80, and
fifth, 63. The regular
army has borne off nearly 500 medals.
Divided as to military rank, only three
medals have gone to major generals.
while private sOlders-here bearing in
mind again the Maine regiment--have
received 1237. Although the lieutenants
the captains-192 to 1O9-,
the serSeants Outnumber the cOrpOrals,
1872 to $50. The distinction of holding
the one medal given to a single rank
rests with a hospital steward, quar- !
employee, and DR.. Mary /
Walker. Although the poets have as
ISOLATED music with scenes and !
thoughts of peace and with merry i
ma king, it is worthy of note that i3
members of the Civil War bands wear
medals of honor.
