J?resg\ PUBLISHED WEEKLY. DEMOCRATIC PRESS PUBLISHING CO. LEW G. ELLINGHAM, EDITOR. *1.30 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8. Georgia is democratic. Stick a piu here. “I am still a democrat.”—David Bennett Hill. It snowed. Indiana 40,000 republican. “I told you so.” Not even a single congressman in our whole state. Let’s try it over. A landslide! Call it that if you want to, but we prefer to name it rightly, a d n slide. Let it go at that. The weekly Indianapolis Sentinel and this paper one year f 1.50 in advance. This offer is good until the first of the coming year. New York went republican. We guess Indiana did too. Let all rejoice—that is if you think the victory demands it. We don't. Five dollars line if you are caught in the act of decorating our office front with any resemblance of crape. Look out for the dog, he’s loaded. The republicans now claim fraud in North Carolina and want that state. Tiie nerve! Not even content with all the other states in the universe, they now want to steal more. Our rooster has shrunk somewhat,«but put on your specs and take a bird’s eye view of the remains. Speak lightly, walk gently and Ray not a word. Indiana went “h—l bent for Governor Kent.” If pressed on the subject w e could call to memory a few other sections of the universe that did likewise. Let’s not talk about it. Adams county still stands at the head of her sister counties and casts her old-time largest democrat ic majority of any county in the state, John M. Frisinger to the contrary notwithstanding. Hurrah for Adams! The reports just as we go to press give this senatorial ami rep resentative district to the democrats. The correct figures can’t now l>e ascertained, but our democratic friends can now rest easy. Hurrah for democracy. The republican calamity shriekera have made themselves felt at last. It took a year of continuous howling, which had much to do with the progress of business, but it did the work, and at the expense of a depreciated business they can say we are the victors. They must feel big at their business. The Portland Sun is now under the management of Timmonds & Saunders, the former having disposed of a half interest tothelatter. The Sun has always been a newsy sheet chuck full of democracy, and of course the new management will continue the same only with more vengeance. Our democratic rooster, which was l’. ''.miing. with age, .quite far and sassy, is laid up with a paralysis of the crower, and in consequence we have to omit him from the list of freaks exhibited to you through the medium of the Press. Content yourself with an eagle, they are all the rage just now. It still snows. Please pour a little of the “oh, be joyful” upon onr driMiping spirits, and be kind and considerate to your neighbor in distress, and we’ll promise here that never will we let you do it again. Never! Don’t laugh, for We can't join you in harmony; our face seems too long for any liar monious strain. Let’s take refuge in the garret. Quiet, absolute quiet, is what we need. By arrangements already made with the Indianapolis Sentinel, we will furnish that paper with this one both one year for $1.50. This is a sacrifice on our part, and one in which you should hastily grab onto. The two editions will consist of t wenty large pages filled brim full of interesting news. The Sentinel has the largest circulation of any paper in the state, and gives the news from all over the world. The (Democratic Press dees the same so just see what you are getting.

The record of Tuesday’s ballots are not a pleasant thing for us to record, but our obligatory duty to fulfill our mission by correctly and promptly chronicling the news, be the same good, bad or indifferent, promptsustoour duty and here below you will find our sad but true tale of sorrowful woe. Many- hopes were overthrown by the results, but at the same time, those who have given intelligent thought and study to political conditions surrounding the country, will not open their eyes with any particular uegree of bewilderment. The impatience of the American people did it. The conditions of the business world brought on by years of class legislation and protection, which terminated as it only could by making the rich richer^the poor poorer. The democratic partv promised an equalization along this line, and to undo the workings of thirty years was no small task. It will take time and lotsof it. Blockaded in many ways l y the same protection barons, who arc responsible for the present and past conditions, and even encountering obstacles within our own party ranks i in our national balls of congress, previous to the birth of the present Wilson tariff law, all this conies freshly to the mind and are reasons sufficient for the blackened eye delivered straight from the shoulder Tuesday. The American people are nervous and impatient and will not long wait for any consumated desire. They want it and thev want it now. But it is useless for u§ to dwell upon the “what might have been’s,” so follow closely and notice the magnitude of figures underneath which we lie, but not dead nor even gasping, just resting—quietly resting. new YORK. The political eye in all quarters of the globe fust turns toward New York, the supposed greatest state in the union. But in the face of this fact their state affairs are always mixed up in some unscrupulous and sensational scandal, much to the disgust of intelligent people elsewhere. The official returns fifty out of sixty counties in the state, and practical complete returns from the* remaining ten, give Morton, the republican candidate for governor, a plurality of 149,069 over Hill, the democratic nominee. That’s all. WEST VIRGINIA. Republicans elect three out of . four congressmen, among the defeated being Wilson the champion of the present democratic tariff law. ■ This is indefinite however, as the ; vote is close and both democrats and republicans are claiming the election of their candidate. KENTUCKY. j A democratic state by 50,000 was I almost swept with the republican I earthquake, but later returns give the deiiiociuts the majorities by a : small vote. ILLINOIS. Some hope had heretofore been : offered giving Illinois to the demoerats, but Tuesday’s vote shows that such assumptions were only 50,000 off. Explanations almost I fail to explain the whys and wherefores, but ' tis too true. Pay your money and take your choice. OHIO. The Cincinnati Enquirer says has gone “horse, foot and dragoon,” into the republican camp. The majority skated up to 135,000, and out of twenty-one congressmen but two are democrats. Sorg of the third district and Layton of the I fourth were victorious.

• IOWA. hot wishing to be out in the cold ' or out of style, lowa came smiling to the front with an upheaval of republican victories, taking everything they could lay their hands on. Majorities too great to enumerate. - SOUTH DAKOTA. The republicans capture the leg-| islature and that means a republi- ! can I nited States senator, as well as many other things too numerous ’ to mention. ALABAMA. Nine democratic congressmen are returned from Alabama. Hurrah : for ’Barna. NEW JERSEY. This state kicked the bucket and ! gave the winning republicans their legislature two to one. The con gressional delegation is all theirs. CONNECTICUT. The republican candidate for! governor is a winner by 15,674, as I well as for congressmen, etc. TENNESSEE. Elects a democratic governor by ! 3,000, and retains its grip on both ( legislative branches and a goodly portion of its congressional representation . WYOMING. Incomplete returns show the re publican governor, state ticket and congressmen elected. That’s all. WISCONSIN. The republican pluralities give the republicans the best of it by 50,000. They have the legislature and (everything else they can get their fingers on. NORTH CAROLINA. It will require the official count to decide whether the republicans or populists hold the gun. The democrats are not in it. MISSISSIPPI. Democracy still reigns. Noland slide to mar their feelings. Congressmen and every thing else democratic. Massachusetts, Delaware, Washington, Virginia, North Dakota, and Montana all went republican, while NebrasKa is claimed by the “pops,” with New Mexico in doubt. Texas is democratic. Evidently Jacob S. Hart don’t want any republican customers. He will sell his flour to democrats exclusively He announces in the democrat that he bought a lot of belting much cheaper now than when the McKinley law in effect, in one purchase he claims he saved But isn’t it a fad-1 hat the belting was bought of Perry Robison, who had the same stored away in his barn? Whocouldn’t buy second hand stuff cheaper than new. po it some more. Mr. Hart.—Journal The little minded writer on the Journal isn’t contented with stiekiug its “pig nose” in all kinds of nonsensical personalities, but goes further and even oversteps the bounds of courtesy and journalism, and tries to interfere with the business of Jacob S. Hart, one of our leading millers, and a man of integrity and honesty. The above doesn’t need any comments to brand it as a lie and its author as a demagogue of no small caliber. Mr. Hart treats his customers all alike no matter what their politics, a fact they all well know. The belting too was bought new of Fred .Shafer, so the whole job lot of “hogwash” are misrepresentations of whole cloth. Words with Bark On. To The Editor of the Decatur Journal: Dear Sir:—l will give you the chance to settle them infamous lies you published in your paper of November 2. 184 M, namely; That you publish to the world that you lied and maliciously intended to do me an injury. 2d. If that won’t do I challenge you tn meet me on the streets of Decatur where the mud is the deepest and fight to a finish. 3rd. If neither of the al>ove propositions will be accepted, we will then try what virtue there is in law. J. S. Hart.

INDIANA Hasn't a Word to SayMu mm's Extra Dry. Licked and Licked Like Blazes from Border to Border. ALSO 13 CONGRESSMEN The Only Green Spot on Earth is Old Adams. When pretended republican ward politicians around Decatur would assert iu good faith that Indiana ! would cast 20,000 plurality for the republican state ticket, he was given the ‘horse laugh’ until he was black in the face. Since Tuesday—he laughs. It is a true saying too, that he .who laughs I ist, laughs best. The repubs are now laugh ing. There is no denying the fact that the democrats are just now > dazed, and they have a right to be. Reliable in forma* ion up to the time ' our power presses begin to dance upon their weekly fun of turning out this information to yon, the ’ slate rcpubliettu ticket is claimed 1 1 by a plurality of 30,000 and it may reach-10,000. The thirteen congressional districts are also doomed to republican victories, and as it now stands is as follows: : First District James A. Hemingway. R SecondA. M. Hardy. R Thirdß. J. Tracewell. R Fourth James E. Watson. R Fifth Jesse Overstreet, R Sixth Henry U. Johnson. R Seventh Charles I. Henry. R Eighth George W. Faris, R , Ninth Frank Hanley. R TenthJ. A. Hatch R Eleventh George W. Steele, R TwelfthJ. D. Leighty. R ThirteenthL. W. Royse, R , Total—Republicans. 13. This assumption may be somewhat incorrect as regards the fourth ' and one or two others, but it is safe to say that Indiana will be rep-

resented in congress with solid re-; publican delegation from this state.! This. tli,e eleventh congressional' district, which has been so ably ; repn sented by the Hou. A. N. i Martin for the past three terms,, was swallowed np with the tidal I wave ami defeated by some I votes. At this time we are unabiej to give the correct figures in each j county in thedistriet, bntwillhave them for your inspection next week. j Hie judicial rare between the Hons I>. D. Heller and R. 8. Peterson for this district of Adams and Jay, was won by the former by 229 votes This conntygave Heller 1055 majority and Jay gave Peterson 826, giving the plum to onr distinguished democratic candidate. The prosecutor will be a republican, aid he will gain that distinction by a margin of 36 votes The candidates were R. H. Hartford and 1. H. Snyder. The former was given 990 majority in this county, and the latter carned Jay by 1026, giving it to Snyder bv 36. The senatorial and representatives are all tn doubt and will be until the official returns sre ad in. The chances are that the democratic candidates may be safe, and then there is a possibility that they are not. The county ticket from top to bottom was elected by pluralities ranging troin 510 to 1140, the latter being cast for 1 ’aniel I*. Bolds, our candidate for treasurer. lhe vote in the various townships has not been returned to the clerk’s office « yet, but the republicans get three out of the twelve trustees; St. Marr’s, Blue Creek and Wabash elect republican trustees beat week we will give you the vote a, cast tn each of our townships.
