Some Democratic Gains.

The returns Of the late presidential
election when studied a little will
show that while the Democratic par
ty suffered defeat in the election of
a President it made substantial gains
in Congress and in some of the
States. The Democrats have gained
nine members in the House certain
and possibly more. They have lost
no senator's and gained one.. and pos
sibly another. They have elected
Governors and will control the leg
islature in several States that now
have Republican Governors and Leg
islatures.
Bryan carried Colorado, Nebraska
and Nevada, all three of which were
carried in 1904 by the Republicans.
In some of the most important
States in the Union tremendous Re-
publican majorities have been ma
terially reduced, and certain teu-
dency toward Democracy has been
developed and demonstrated.
More than that, there are real
achievements to be noted in some OF
the State elections, which are not
without important bearing upon the
national situation. The most inter-
esting appear in Ohio, Indiana and
Nebraska. Although Taft carried
his own State by $4,000 plurality,
he fell 100000 short of the majority
given Roosevelt in Ohio four years
ago and the Democratic State ticket
was, at the same time, elected by a
safe majority.
But that is not all. There is a
possibility that the Democrats will
control the Ohio Legislature, and #
they do they will choose Democrat
to succeed Foraker, in the United
States Senate. That will be the first
time in many years that the State
of Ohio is represented in the Senate
by a Democrat. Indiana, which went
for Taft by the small plurality Of
5000 votes, elected a Democratic
Governor and the Legislature will
be Democratic on joint ballot and
will elect a Democratic Senator.
Nebraska, besides voting for Bry-
an, elected a Democratic. Governor,
and, possibly, has a Democrats
Legislature. In Nebraska the DEM
ocrats elected five Congressman
out of six and in Indiana eleven out
of thirteen. We have four new
Democratic Governors in four great
States of the West. So all is not
lost. Let the Democrats keep their
powder dry and work for victorJ,
which at least will perch on their
banners.

CONSTABLE KILLS NEGRO,
Who Attempted to Outrage Penn
syIyania White Girl.

Uniontown, Pa, Nov. 5.-While
attempting to arrest Jesse Ricet n
negro at Riverside, near here, last
night, Constable Brown shot him
dead and was himseuf fatally shot in
the abdomen by the negro. Nevas
Brown, son of the officer, was also
shot in the arm by Rice.
Two months ago warrant was
issued for the arrest Of the negro
on a charge that he had committed
an asualt on young white woman
at Masontown. Rice, however, dis
appeared. and yesterday Constable
Brown, of this place, learned he was
living at Riverside.
The officer went there to make the
arrest and the shooting followed
when the negro offered armed re-
sistance.

STEVENSON WILL CONTEST.
Democratic Candidate for Governor
of Illinois not Satisfied.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-The election of
Governor Chas. C. Deenen to serve
another term as Governor Of Illinois,
will be contested by mis- Democratic
rival, according to a signed state
ment issued tonight by Charles
Boeschenstein, chairman of the Dem
ocratic State central committee. The
statement follows:
II am convinced that with a co..
rect count and an honest canvass
Adlai E. Stevenson has plurality o.
the vote cast in the election last
Tuesday for Governor of Illinois
The demand for arecount will be
made upon the Legislature as pro-
vided for in the statutes"
Governor Deenen's plurality is es-
timated at from $4,000 to $4,000
Ben H. Atwell, secretary to Chair
man Boeschenstein, explained that
errors in the count had already been
discovered in several precincts and
it was calculated that if only three
ballots in each of the 1000 voting
precincts in Illinois were taken from
Deenen and given on recount to Ste
venson, the latter would be found
to have won the election.

The Truth About Georgia.

Some of our good Democratic
friends were very much worried over
the returns form Georgia, which 1T
first indicated that Bryan had re-
ceived very few more votes than Taft
in that State They were needless'y
alarmed as the correct returns will
show. Bryan's vote was $500 as
against 41,26S for Taft. This gives
Bryan a plurality over Taft Of 32,-
63S, which is not so bad when it is
known that a great many negroes in
Georgia are qualified voters, and of
course they all voted the Republican
ticket. Taft, Watson, Debs, Chapir
and Hisgen, all Of whom opposed
Bryan as candidates on different
Presidential tickets, received COM
bined vote of 6O,115, against 72,606
votes for Bryan, which gives him =
clear majority Of over 1900 against
Taft and all the other presidential
candidates. In addition to carrying
the State for Bryan, the Democrats
carried every Congressional district
bv good majorities. In the face Of
these figures we see little cause for
Democrats to be alarmed or the Re-
publicans to be overjoyed over the
result in Georgia. Most Of the Re-

Will Keen Our Powder Dry.

In reviewing the result Of the late
election, Henry Watterson, the able
editor of the Courier-Journal says,
1.-THE result shows that we over
estimated the spiritual and undec-
sized the material hearts and minds
of the people. They were deaf alike
to precedents, to reason, and to
eloquence; for nothing could surpass,
as nothing has ever eQualled the per-
s6nal canvass of Mr.. Bryan, it's
wonderful lucidity and power of
statesmen, its splendid intellectual
and physical endurance; its unans-
werable argument.
"Nor did Ignatius of Loyola sweep
through the world of incarnate evil,
bearing the cross Of Jesus to tri-
umph, with greater force Of inspira-
ton and truth than did the heroic
son of Nebraska traverse land gap
ing with curiosity, but too busy over
it's work and play to consider any
danger to the immortal soul of its
constitutional fabric.
"Old-time Democrats will wait and
keep their powder dry. If they
should despair, if they should break
apart, the country would be exposed
to political anarchy leading the rad
icalism and eXcesses of every sort
to practical irresponsibility on the
one hand, unregenerate debaucherv
backed by resistless force on the
other hand.

quoted will surprise no one who Is
familiar with his political history.
If he thinks the time has come for

think this would be a great deal
more honorable than to be masque-
rading as Democrat while at heart
he is Republican. After the above
elimination his own self-respect
should suggest to him the propriety
of resigning the position of National

Why They Kill.

Answering a paragraph in which
we said "The blind tiger whiskey
sold up in Newberry county must he
fearful stuff if we accept the conte1-
tion that drinking IS the cause of
most murders" the Newberry Oh
server says, 1T may be true that
drinking is the cause Of most muir
ders; but the murders, or homicides,
that have occurred in NeWberry
county have not come from blind
tiger whiskey; they have been in
nearly every instance the result of
gambling, and have been confined
exclusively to the colored population,
many Of whom do not hesitate,
drunk or sober, to shoot each other
in a contention over quarter
The same can be said of several kill
ings that have occurred in the last
year or two, which fully confirms
the Observers statement.
