THE TIDAL WAYE. New York and Our Own In diana Gives In. Large Majorities in Other States That Voted Tuesday. The Next Congress Will he Largely Made Up ef Republicans. The Next Indiana Legislature Will he Republican.

From all reports so far as received up to the hour of going to press is that New York has goue republican and Iudiaua gives about 25,000 republican majority with the next legislature of the same complexion. Ohio gives a big republican major** ity. California, Colorado., Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and other republican states hold their own by increased majorities. The tidal wave was on and the republican party was made the victor. The majorities in„many states reached luto the thousands. In Indiana a great battle was waged by the great corporations against the laws enacted by a democratic legislature, laws that were in favor of the masses of the people. What the new legislature will do with these laws remains to be seen. Iu the congressional districts a big fight was waged and in all probability there will be but four of the thirteen districts send democrats to congress. In this the First district, Congressman Taylor, of this (?ity is defeated by about 1,609 plurality. Vanderburg county casting a very large vote against him. Bretz, Stockslager, Holman aud McNaguy the four elected. Heavy gains have been made in democratic counties. Allen county was decreased, while the majority jn Knox county was wiped out aud in many other counties the result was the same. In all it was a landslide in favor of our republican friends, same as it was in 1892 in our favor. Jollify, boys, for in 1896 the tables will be turned. 5

PIKE COUNTY, The Returns Sihow a Full Republicau Ticket Elected* The result in Pike county was with the tidal wave, and the democratic ticket went with it. Every man on the republican ticket was elected by majorities ranging from 100 to 200 or over. Congressman Taylor ran 100 votes ahead of the ticket in the county, while other democratic candidates did likewise. The democrats made gains in some of the precincts, but lost heavily in others, where the vote came from is not known, but it is safe to say Jthat our republican friends got it. The democrats elected trustees in Marion, Jefferson, Lockhart, Monroe aud Madison, while the republicans elected trustees in Clay, Patoka and Washington. In Logan township the vote was a tie, and another elec*, tion will probably be called., There are no excuses to make for the failure of aujr candidate to pull through in Pike couuty at Tuesday’s election. The tidal wave was on and we went with it. For joint-senator Dr. William J. Bethel), republican, was elected over W. A. Cullop, democrat. The majority is very small and will take the official count to settle it. The democratic candidates made a hard fight for victory in this county. The organization was all that could be asked, for. Every precinct was well in band and every voter present as the returns will show, livery candidate on the democratic

ticket polled nearly w more than th« entire strength ot the party. The county chairmau, Mr. He&thman made ar excellent effort and the deteat of the county ticket can not be laid to him or to any member of the committee. He has worked early and late and pul np a splendid campaigu until every vote was cast. Nothing was left undone whereby a vietbry could be won by the fairest of methods. The democratic party made a campaign in Pike county of which it may feel proud, as It resorted to no low-down trickery, but was free and aboveboard$ at all times and under all circumstances. ' We exceedingly regrei to see the ticket defeated, as they were men who would have made capable and)efficiunt officers, but in'the face ol the opposition from a “calamity-howl” ot view aud the general landslide ol other sections, the gentlemen made a strong race. Congressman Taylor of this city has been defeated for congress in this district by several hundred.majority. Mr. Taylor has made the people a good representative in the halls ot cougress and has at all times worked faithfully for his constituency. He has probably done more hard service than aify man whoever represented the district. He has at ail times been at his post of duty and to his soldier constituency has ^been a faithful friend. He goes down in defeat not through any fault of his for he has labored hard and made an excellent carivass of the district for re-election, but through the general uure6t of the people and the wave that has swept over the country. He has made au excellent race in this his home couuty, aud in goiug down in defeat knows that he has done his duty to his constituency whom he represented. * •

At the Alford precinct on election day took place a row among a number of persons present, and in which the election sheriffs were comvelled to take a hand. It seems that a fight occurred between Buell Ahlerl and Ed Preston, and in which Pete Ficklin and others took part. Fiokliu drew his knife when Will Benjamin and George Smith, election sheriffs, took a hand and tried to quell the riot. Ficklin began to cut and slash, cutting Smith on the thumb and Benjamin in the left arm. He was finally arrested and brought to town and put in jail. Neither of the parties were seriously injured. Some of the town boys made a novel bet ou the election. It was agreed by them that the political party that lost and which they represented w’ere to pay the expenses of a dance at the opera house ou Wednesday evening. True to the promise Sol Frauk, Coonie Backes, Willard Flemiug, Parks Harrison, John Anderson and Wilhelm Wolfe completed the arrangmeuts and gave them a free dance. The winnert were Charles Adams, Fred Brenton, Frank Thomas and Frank White And the boys made them dauce even set. One of the early Wednesday morning incidents when the election news was coming in against us, (that is, ns democrats,) Garrett Patterson anc Joe Bowman swooped down on t poor lone bantam rooster that hac lost its power to crow and even cackh and presented it to Perry Chappell Jr., but li^e everythiug else, it goi away. The littlp bird had crowec loud and long earlier in the. day, anc if the axe does not fall too soon wil live to crow on another day.

Ed King, one of the most enthusi asiic democrats in Petersburg, anc Lige Smith made an election bet. I: the republicans were victorious Mr Kiug was to wheel Smith down Mali street, and if the democrats were sue cessful Smith was to do the act. Mr King gave up that ho was the mao t( do the wheeling, and early Wednes day morning proceeded to pay th< bet. Say, kind reader, if you hear oi anything else that went republics! keep it to yourself. We have heard it several times before this morning But then tfe are ready to give oui republican friends another grand rust for victory in 1§96, We still stand by ’he great parly of the people a! against the favored classes.

Elder, of Mattoon, Illinois, preached at the C. P. church last Sunday morning and evening. There were only 168 persons in the city from various parts of the coiiuty who were claiming deputyships. There is one thing sure Pike county will have five democratic trustees for the next tour years beginning August 5,1895. Will Niernau returned from Washington this week. He has been sick for several weeks and confined to his room the most of the lime. Apples.—We have a car load of nice Michigan apples which we are selling as low as 75 cents per bushel. Come early. Wm. Liibs. The democrats in Pike county made a hard fight for victory. They made au honest, square uphill fight and have nothing to be ashamed of. From all reports, it they are true, wewe m the landslide this year. We need no sympathy trom our republican triends, a3 we are used to just such business. The five-year-old child of Stephen Aken, near Blackburn, died last Saturday and was buried at the Anderson cemetery. Rev. b. F. Andersoif conducted the funeral services.

Patterson & Alexander will surely catch your eye on the Hfih page of today's issue. The firm has an_ attractive advertisement and they are making prices on goods that are selling them right along. Jen\ShockrOw, of Danville, Illinois, and\Kobert Smith, of Louisville, fought a three-round fight, Monday night near yincennes. The former was victorious. That^city is getting up a reputation as a sporting place. The democrats are in the best of humor, although defeated in county and state. The democrats are jolly and take defeat good naturedlv, but are always ready and willing to go into the campaign at any and all times. If there is anything you want to know concerning the majority in New York, Podunk, »»r any other corner of the globe call on any one ot the numerous persons who have been promised a deputy shipbuilder the new republican officials. J The following marriage licenses have been issued since our last report. Edward S. Brown to Lucy Thompson.^ James C. Inman and Arora Evans. Robert Hensen and Elizabeth A. Overly. " John T. Kline and Effa C. Posey. Lee Thurman and Maggie Smith. William Cox and Julia E. Osborn. W. F. Parrett, of Evansville, whom the democrats kept in office for thirty years, and when he was not given another nomination joined the populist party with a view of getting office, run behind in nearly every precinct in Yanderborg county last Tuesday.

Max Blitzer, proprietor of the New York store, conies to the front with a large advertisement this week setting forth the many bargains he has for 1 the people of Pike county. He has taken much time to gat up this big bargain sale and has marked prices down to bedrock. In another column of today's paper will be found a statement of the Pike County State Bank at the end of its i second week's businoss. The bank is t increasing its business from week to week. The officers are splendid men and accord all a welcome to' do business with them. Many friends assembled at the ' home of Frank Kimc on last Thursday evening to spend a few last hours with Rev. I. N. Yokley and wife, who left for their new field of ■ labor at Bloomfield ou Friday morni ing. They take with them the ear- : nest prayers and good wishes of a , host of loving friends, and their stay ■ in Petersburg will belong remember- ! ed by many who hope that in their new home they may find a warm welcome, i and that a kindly appreciation of thei? merits may be accorded them,
