which the vote was proportionately much heavier against the Republican machine than in the rural districts. Democrats from Pennsylvania, who are long-used to tremendous adverse con- ditions. and are inclined to be found anywhere, say that the conditions war rant their confidence that they will at the next Congressional election cer- tainly carry at least a dozen of the thirty-four districts, which would give them a gain of eleven Congressmen. They are encouraged in this hope es- peciaIly by tho fact that nearly every one of the thirty-three Congressmen of the Republican party now represent ing the state acted with the machine which went down in defeat on the 7th of November,
 The last time the Democrats had anything like their normal Fepresen- tation from penRayivaaiA in Congress was in the ysSty-third Congress, when they had eight out of tweaty-eiGht members in tho House,

comER AT UNION SPRINGS.
Candidate Loses His Temper When
 Questioned by Citizen.

Questioned by Cftfzen.
 Union Springs, Nov. 24.--(Special.)-- Hon. B. B. Conner addressed an audi ence of Bullock County voters at the courthouse today. He was introduced by L. M. MoseIey, who eulogized MT. Conner as a man who leads and moulds public opinion, rather than follows it.
 At the beginning of MT. Corners speech the audience was very small, but the people continued to come in un- til the crowd numbered something more than 100.
 MT. Conner started out by telling the farmers that they had been long suf- fering in their submission to unjust freight rates: that the State of Ala bama was paying an excess of freight of s2,5G0.000 and that the State was hurt thereby to that extent.
 He consumed considerable time in talking of the cupidity of the South, the price of cotton, the tariff taxes and issues leading up to the war between the States; and though very ar-fetched endeavored to connect them all with the issues of the present campaiRn The trusts came in generally for their share of his attention, and the railroad trusts in particular.
 He stated that we were paying from 20 to 120 per cent higher rates than Georgia, but at this point he offered no figures to sustain his assertion.
 He claimed to have begun his fight for better freight rates in 1885, not for the people. but for his individual business Interests. He admitted that he secured the concessions asked for.
 Some ginger was injeated into the oc- casion when he made the statement that every Legislature in Alabama had been Influenced and controlled by the railroads. This statement was uues- toned by gentleman in the audience, and seemed to put some life into the speaker. and developed the fact that his Temperament Is of the cumulative order Further questioning and dissen- sions caused him to lose control of him-

WAYLAID AND BEATEN
JOHN W. POLK ATTACKED IN PUB-
 LIC ROAD.
R. F. Hall Shot in the Arm as Result of the Assault-Touch of Ro- nance to Night At-
 fuek

Dothan, Nov. 24.-(SpeciaL)-R. F. Hall, living eleven miles west of Do- than, was shot in the arm by John w. Polk. under circumstances which carry with them a touch of the romantic. As gIeaned by an Advertiser representa- tive. the facts appear to be about as follows:
 Polk attended an entertainment in his neighborhood, escorting a Miss Purvis. After walking home with Miss Purvis, he started for his home on foot and, after proceeding short distance. was waylaid by two men. R. F. Hall and Halls nephew, Lee Jones, accord ing to Folks allegation. The two men attacked Polk, knocking him down and threatening his life. While on the ground, Polk managed to draw a re- volver and began firing on his assatl- ants. One shot struck Hall, passing through his arm and lodging in his body. This turn of affairs changed the alleged assault into q retreat.
 It is not believed that Halls wound is dangerous. but young Polk Is said to have been badly beaten up.
 Polk has been paying some attention to a daughter of Hall, and this is said to have been objected to by Hall.

 Washington, Nov. 24.-(Special) )- From the representations of persons coming recently to Washington from Pennsylvania, d political transition, as we'll as a reformation revival. is in progress in that State such as has not been seen before in the history of the commonwealth. The Democrats, who are greatly elated, say that the outlook has not been brighter for them since the palmy days of Sam Randall The election figures seem to bear out their statements.
 In the State election for Treasurer, the Democratic candidate was on three other tickets besides the straight par ty ticket The Republican candidate was on one other ticket besides that of his own party. The figures of the cleo ton by counties. which are required by law after the election to be published from day to day until every county complete is included in the tabulation, when they are added as they belong in the Congressional districts. show that the straight Democratic ticket alone carried twelve of the twenty four districts outside of Philadelphia and Allegheny County, which com prises Pittsburg and Allegheny City, Philadelphia having six and Allegheny County four districts.
 The districts the Democrats carried are the Eighth, represented by Wan ger; the Tenth. by Connell; the Elev- enth. Palmer: Twelfth, Patterson; Thir- teenth, Kline; Fifteenth. Deemer; Six teenth, Samuel; Eighteenth. Olmsted; Nineteenth. Reynolds; Twentieth, La fean; Twenty-sixth, Schnebeli; Twen- ty-eighth, Sibley. All of these. except Kline. are Republicans. Kline being the only Democrat elected to the present Congress,
