Revised election returns make more emphatic and complete the I triumph of the democrats. Ken-, tucky by 30,000 and Maryland by 10,000 or 12,00, and Greater New York by more than 63,000 all speak in silent emphasis of the fact that the democrats are again voting the democratic ticket. This fact gives rise to much hope for the party in next year's presidential contest, and while it gives hope to the democrats, it also giving much alarm to the administration leaders. Roosevelt's weakness has already been a subject of speculation, while the frie ids of Senator Hanna see in that statesman all the qualities of a presidential candidate. It all tends to weaken and discredit the president as a candidate, and will greatl y aid in restoring confidence among the voting populace that the democratic party stand an equal show o f winning, and this is true. With wise and sagacious nominations, and a party organization of the twentieth century pattern, the, democrats will be able to make a ! contest that will be interesting.

STATE ORGAN DEAL IS ABOUT CLOSED

Indianapolis. Nov. s.—The appear- 1 ance of such an old-time Democratic leader as James S. Murdock of Lafayette, here with Hugh Dougherty of Bluffton, and others well known among Democrats, caused considerable speculation. It is understood that Murdock and Dougherty are interested with Tom Tag,curt and in trying to keep alii the party organ.

been mentioned as a suitable standard bearer, and the Chicago Chronicle is the only newspaper who takes the aggressive step of intimating that Grover Cleveland could sweep the country. We do not beleive this can be taken seriously. All that Ex-President Cleveland will be called upon to do, is to advise his friends to support the nominee. This would'be of more service to the party that three times honored Grover Cleveland and twice made him the president of the United States, than were he the nominee. We are also inclined in the beleif that this program 1 would meet his approval better s than were he the nominee. However, we have implicit faith in the leaders of thedemocratic party and we beleive the question of a suitable candidate, will receive conscientious consideration at their hands. The work at hand is to organize for a victory and not for candidates, so with our faces to the future, we welcome the call to arms. A Washington special says: Tam many's smashing victory in New York and the triumph of Senator Gorman in Maryland east a shade of gloom over the white house. In political circles it is believed the result indicates: 1. That New York is likely to go against the republicans in the presdential contest next year. 2. That the re-election of President Roosevelt is not going to be as easily accomplished as his friends had hoped. 3. That Senator Gorman will probably assume more and more prominence as an aspirant for the I democratic nomination for presi- | dent and that he will from now on | be a thorn in the side of the administration. I. That there is a possibility

I letter stated that he goldbugs were ' again in control and was worded so as 'to inflame the silver Democrats. It caused much consternation ainong the ! Democratic leaders, and they worked ali night getting out notices to overcome its effect. After the election Keach called on the federal authorities he < and at Washington to see whethe er or not prosecution could be had for sen ag fraudulent ma ter through the mail . The district attorney holds then is no statute covering the case unh s it Is s’ iwn that some ne was actually defrauded by the I tter. JTie ' infei. ace that this despicable political trick r.iay be repeated without fear Party leaders in Indiana are busy in- the results of Tuesday's , a D< . ' 'tats and ReI pu iicans s< m to be satisfied. The Democn s are, of course, greatly • pleased with tie victory of Tammany an i in Maryland, and. rather strange 1 to say, they a:o not shedding any •art iing Tom Johnson’s complete lizzie in Ohio. Many Democrats to 1 ng that it Is a good warning to the ‘party of the state not to permit any man to foist his own ideas non a party so c< npletcly as to over•th? all old-time party principles. The party organ here says the defeat ; of Johnson was to be expected. The victory of the Democrats In Maryland j has caused a more frequent use of the I name of S< nator Gorman as a presidential possibility. The name of McClellan. the victorious candidate in New York is also being used by the Democrats as a presidential possibility. but most of the leaders seem to think he Is too young. Republicans are especially elated with the victory of Senator Hanna in Ohio.

that New Y T ork may present McClellan for president and try to put the son in the seat the father failed to win. 5. That on the whole the result of the election is unfavorable to President Roosevelt aud his administration, as indicating a reaction toward the opposition, especially in the eastern states. No, men and brethren, the snowing under of Tom L. Johnson in Ohio is not a democratic defeat. As a matter of fact, Tom Johnson the uniqne, is not and never was a democrat. He is a disciple of Henry George, a believer in the single tax idea, in theory’ a free trader and in practice a monopolist. By conviction he holds to the gold standard. but when he plays politics he usually wants free silver men for candidates. Tom's chief aim in life appears to be to do something that nobody else would think of doing—to create a commotion, raise a hubbub, and above everything else to attract attention to Tom L. Johnson.—South Bend Times. ■— FOUND A HOG. A Strange Face at the Jail Premises Today.

PAINFUL WOUND. damns Cook Drove Nail Through His Hand. Jim Cook, a young man employ I ed at C. E. True's store received a very’ painful injury’ this morning in rather a strange manner. He was building a fire in the stove at the store and picked up a board in the j end of which was a sharp wire nail. | He atteinpeted to break the board | across his knee and in some way , got his hand over the nail. The pressure he put on the board drove ■ the nail entirely’ through his left | hand, entering in the palm and the point extending out of the back of the hand. Dr. J. S. Boyers dressed the wound and Jim will be alright in a day or two though at present the pain causes him to grit 1 his teeth considerably. '
