The general result Of yesterdays cleo
lions can be stated with approximate ac-
curacy. although the details can only be
at this writing. II was a warm contest
on both sides. but neither party got out Its
full vote. Both parties made some gains
and some losses. but the indications are
that the Republicans will have safe ma
jority in the next national House Of Rep
resentatives. They have lost some con-
gressmen in the East and gained some in
the West. Governor Odell is reelected in
New York by majority which may not
exceed 15.000-a small one for that State.
a stiff fight, which makes the result all
the more gratifying.
No State has done better than Indiana
and no county in Indiana better than
Marion. The indications are that the Re-
publicans have carried, Marion county by
not less than 1000 majority and the State
by at least 10000. These are conservative
estimates and are likely to be increased
by full returns, rather than diminished.
These figures indicate a safe majority in
the Legislature and the return of Mr..
Fairbanks to the United States Senate.
1t is believed that complete returns Of the
election, which are as yet somewhat con-
fused, will show that Indiana stands In
the front rank of Republican States. The
full returns will probably show local gains
and losses on both sides. which cannot
be stated at this time, but it Is safe to
claim the net result of the elections
throughout the country as a decided Re-
publican victory, especially for an off year

vote accordingly are the salvation OF the
republic, just as those who vote without
menace. 1t is to be hoped the change In
conducting political campaigns is due to
the adaptation of political methods to the
improving intelligence of the people. though
there is no doubt but the number of per-

that may flow from the growth of the

Mr.. Mitchell's statement OF the miners
case makes precisely the same demands
that were made before the strike began,
viz: An increase of 20 per cent in wages,
a reduction Of 20 per cent. in hours of labor
and that 2,2iO pounds shall constitute the
ton on which payment is based, for all
coal mined where the miners are paid by
weight The demand for the 20 per cent.
increase of wages and reduction OF hours
was afterwards reduced to 10 per cent. but
is now renewed in the original form. The
commission will probably report a COM
promise. The only new demand now made
by Mr.. Mitchell is the following:
The incorporation in an agreement be-
tween the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca and the anthracite coal companies Of
the wages which shall be paid and the con-
together with satisfactory methods for the
adjustment of grievances which may arise
from time to time, to the end that strikes
and lockouts may be unnecessary.
In as far as this proposes contracts and
the adoption Of a mode for the adjustment
of grievances 1t is sound in principle, but
it would be better IL the anthracite miners
should have an independent organization of
their own. separate from the United Mine
Workers. The separate organization plan
was favored by Labor Commissioner
Wright in his report TO the President.
