He knew that two armed men stood

The door to the stairway leading into

the sewer was even more securely

stone door at the foot Of the passage.

BY No Means a Landslide.
oath Times

Every victory won by the Democrat
ic party is landslide nowadays in
the eyes of the vlctors. The victories
this fall are 50 hailed by the Demo-
cratic press, yet the dimensions of
their success scarcely merit so sensa-
tional a term. They elected a Demo-
cratic governor in Massachusetts. but
were unable to secure control of the
great and general court. They elected
a governor and legislature in New
York, a state frequently Democratic in
tire past the capture of which at this
time with an important faction of the
Republicans sinking at home because
lthey couldn't run the campaign does
not seem SO extraordinary an achieve
ment after all. In Connecticut and New
Jersey Democratic success was achiev
ed not 40 much on account of any Spe-
cial confidence in the Democratic party
itself as because the party had seen fit
| to nominate for governor in each state
one of its most esteemed citizens who
was opposed by o less attractive can
didate Further West the status quo
does not seem to nave been very great
ly disturbed. and in the Congressional
elections the Landslide" amounts to
net gain of AZ seats. The size Of that
victory scarcely compares with the
great landslide of 1874 when, as the
result of the panic of the preceding
year and other causes. there was such
an uvcrturn in Congress that James G.
Blaine, who in 1915 had been elected
Speaker of the House by d majority of
100 votes over his Democratic OppO-
nent, was; in 1875 able to muster u total
of only log Republican votes to his
Democratic opponents l13. That was
!andslide--a Democratic gain of 176
seats. And in spite of that revolution
in favor of the Democrats in the cleo
