Rev. Sam Small, having finished bin
speaking in Massachusetts, baa “thank
ed God be i* not a Democrat” and atart-
ed for these parts, as be eays, "to reform
the South ”
Max O'Kell, the Frenchman, has a
keen eye to the main chance. In his
new book he makes a prominent bid for
feminine applause. He says: "The
more I see of the American women the
more conllrmed I become in my impress
ion that they are typical—more so than
the men They are like no other women
1 know. The brilliancy of their conver
sation, the animation of their features,
the absence of affectation in tlioir man
ners, make them unique."
The Savannah Evening Times, it is
stated, is to be resurrected. Mr. 1’leas-
unt Stovall is to be its editor and Mr.
David Robinson is to manage its busi
ness affairs. Mr. Stovall is at present
the managiug editor of the Augusta
Chronicle. lie is a courteous gentleman,
one of the best editorial writers in the
State and an excellent all around news
paper man. Mr. Itoblneon is a well-
known, dopular and successful business
man. The new venture ought to be,
.and doubtless will be, a successful one.
To-day will witness much joy and dis
tress in this glorious country of ours.
The men who are on the victorious side
in the four States of New York, Ohio,
Iowa and Massachusetts will jubilste
quite freely. They will carry home with
them jags of various dimensions, some
>small and others exceedingly large and
wxhllarating, while the disappointed
partisans will gulp down their disgust
and gloomily declare that the elections
did not Interest them in the slightest
degree. They will lie, os a matter of
course, and will know that the other
fellows know that they are lying.
Me. John H. Ii.m.in, President of the
W«t Point Terminal Company, has
been the target for a good deal of spec
ulative rumor, but tho latest reports
placo him In control of the Immense In
terests that have been committed to his
care. Ho has succeeded in raising the
funds necessary to moot the demands
now made upon the Georgia Central, and
the war on him will probably cease. Mr,
Inman Is a sagacious business man and
has been s tower of strength to the
South. He has been foremost In placing
the great resources of this section be
fore the capitalists of the world.—Mont
gomery Advertiser.
Tub Chattanooga Times says: "The
row over the Johnson School History In
a Georgia town has bethought ua to aug-
gest that, in our school histories the an
nals of the civil war should be oonflued
to the coldest kind of official statement
Still better than that would be the omis
sion of that era from the books entirely.
We are yet too near the events of tbst
passion-stirring aud prejudice-violating
aeaaon for tho most judicial to do the
subject evon-banded justice. Whatever
it written, or has been written, of Its
history since 1863, is either worthless or
fit only for data to be used by the histo
rians of fifty or a hundred years hence.’
No quostlon has excited the religious
communities of Louisiana since its for
mation as a State morotlian the lottery
-question Is doing now. With one excep
tion almost every denomination has
taken action on the subject. Some
churches hare gone so far aa to make it
a teat of membership. Every Methodist
conference has decided against tlje lot
tery, while the Baptist convention, after
declaring that no good Baptist could by
any possibility favor the lottery com
pany, recommend the churches to expel
such members as might express them
selves in favor of extending Its charter.
The Congregatlnnalists have been alike
vigorous in condemning the lottery, and
the stand of the Presbyterians may be
judged by that of Dr. Palmer, who has
been a leader in tho tight against the
lottery, and that denomination has ap
pointed a day of prayer to be observed
next month in all Its churches In Louis
iana to pray for the annihilation of the
lottery. The Episcopal Church, at its
Diocesan Council, adopted resolution!
against the lottery. The Roman Catho
lic Church has taken no action In the
matter; a number of its priests, however,
p*' ularly in the French poitlon of the
irri ut supporters of the lot-
uiiment, and have been conspi-
• .; the meetings In favor of It.—

THE RESULTS
Returns from the states in which elec,
tions wore held yesterday show Demo
cratic victories In almost every quarter.
New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylva
nia and Iowa have certainly gone Demo
cratic by increased majorities.
In New York Flower has carried the
city by about 00,000. It is the Demo
cratic majority in the city wbiob the Re-
publicans have to overcome by the ma
jority in the state at large; and it is on
this that they always base their hopes.
Yesterdsy’s election, while giving the
Democrats a large increase in the city,
shows heavy Republican losses in the
country.
The Republicans, after losing in Ne
York city, have ‘sadly failed in 'their
hopes of making up by the vote which
meets the ususl Democratic majority
from the counties beyond the Harlem
river; and Flower has scored an over
whelming victory by probably 30,000.
The causes of this Waterloo have
national significance. The Republican
nominee, Fassett, is the man whom Har
rison put upon the convention nnd who
was distinctively the candidate ol Boss
Platt. The failure of the Republicans to
stand by the deal, and their desertion to
the Democratic ranks, shows that Har
rison has lost his grip, and that tile elec
toral vote of New York state is doubt
less lost to him in the next presidential
Republican convention This will force
that party to look elsewhere for a can
didate; and bridge Blaioe, wiiliug or un
tiling, to the front as the man who can
arouse most enthusiasm in his party,
and best hold together the republican
vote; and whatever deal lie may have
had with Harrison will be broken by the
outside pressure which the New York
election siiows will be brought to bear.
In Massachusetts Governor Russell
has won by from 3,000 to 5,000 majority.
The same state of affairs exists there as
in New York,Boston and large cities giv
ing in most elections heavy democratic
majorities, which the country districts
meet by corresponding republican ma-
jorltes. Boston has given Russell an
increased majority; and the country, In
stead of standing to tho republicans as
usual, has entirely failed to come up to
their expectations.
One of the most significant features
of the campaign In Massachusetts Is that
Nahant, the birthplace of Cabot L-idge
of force bill fame, has gone democratic
by a good majority for tho first time in
Itshistoiy; it haring heretofore been a
republican stronghold.
The returns from Ohio are slow, the
Australian ballot system being In full
force all aver the state, and making it
impossible to get anything like accurate
reports last night.
The lt-ipublieans aro confidently bet
ting on McKinley; and the Democrats
still claiming the state for Campbell
Tho disaffection of the working men at
the McKinley tariff has been largely
counted on by the Democrats; but how
far this disaffection has gone, it Is im
possible to say until the fall vote has
been rounded up, and the result made
known. Returns show gains on both
tides, but at a late hour last night the
vote was coming in very slowly even
from the city, and the result will proba
bly not be known fully before this mom
log.
The Democrats have probably carried
Pennsylvania.
For tho aeoond time the state has
gone Democratic, and the Republican
majority of nearly one hundred thous
and hat been overcome, though Phila
delphia maintained a Republican majori
ty of 15,000, while the Democrats gained
steadily all over the state, and have won
by several thousand. The Republican
campaign leaders had hoped that the
memory of the Qnay-Delemater scan
dals would die out after a time; but the
renewed defeat has shown thorn that
fraud Is not so easily forgotten. This
Is an off year in Pennsylvania; but the
election ia an indication for 1802, and it
was on this account tint so much inter
est was taken In the vote.
In Iowa Boles, the democratic nomi
nee, has made an increased gain, and
fairly brought the state into the demo
cratic ranks. Tne Iowa election was
complicated by the introduction of the
prohibition question, the democrats sid
ing as a class with the Georgia idea of
local option. The full democratic ticket
has been elected, and the democrats arc
confirmed In their last victory by an In
creased mijority.
In New York Tammany it making pre
parations tor an enthusiastic celebration
of a victory which belong peculiarly to
that organization.
From the flret the fight boa been made
on it aa the leading feature of the cam
paign; and the endorsement of the state
has confirmed Its reputation as the home
of true Democratic principle,.
TOE BULLETINS.
As will be seen from the telegraphic
reports, the Tixbs-Recohdeb Is fully
abreast of the demands of its readers for
the news, and gives the complete returns
as supplied by the associated press up to
two o'clock this morning.
As the bulletins were received, they
were read to the anxious crowd from
the business office of the Timbs-Recob-
dbb, up to midnight, and the sub
stance of them all can be teen this
morning by those whose enthusiasm was
not sufficient to keep them up last night.
The complete service of news can be
seen by the readers of Tub Tmaa-Ra-
cobdbb this morning; and while no pre
liminary blowing of trumpets was in
dulged In, the pnbUo can see by com
parison to-day that Americas’ news-
gatherer got there by as large a majority
aa did the Flower that blooms In New
York.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
NEWSY ITEMS FROM OUR NATION'S
CAPITAL CITY.
Fragmentary Iteina From tb. Central City
of Interest to the Beading Public—Gen
eral rmomentary In Brief on Public Mat
ters Prom tho Centerof Action.
Washington. Nov. 2.—“If Steve El
kins enters the cabinet,” said a republi
can who knows his man well, "It will be
to help Blaine and not to help Harrison
os some people suppose. Elkins has
more financial irons In the Are than any
man I know, and you may be certain
that he would not not be willing to neg
lect them even temporarily if there were
not some big political scheme to be
worked up. Thou who talk about his
selling out Blaine for a cabinet appoint
ment simply expou their ignorance of
the real relation between the two men—
Elkins belongs as completely to Blaine
as it is possible for one man to belong to
anpther in this country, and, remember
what I say, I do not believe that Elkins
will go into tlie cabinet, but if lie does,
It will be to help Blaine lay out brother
Ben.”
There seems to be a hitch somewhere
in the selection of Secretary Procter's
successor, as it is now announced that
be may not leave the cabinet until just
before congress meets. Some people are
unkind enough to say that it is meroly
tbe natural thrift of the man, which
causes him to wish to rotain an 88,000
salary as long as possible before giving
it up for one of only $5,000.
A scapegoat has been found for tbe
loss of tho United States steamer Dis
patch, while on her way from New York
to Washington, by the naval court of in
quiry now sitting In Washington. It is
tbe glass lens of the lantern of a light
house, which according to the testimony
of Lieut Noel, executive officer, made
a light which should have shown white
appear red, which caused him to change
the sailing course wbiob had been laid
by the commander before he went to
bed. It has not yet boen decided wbat,
If any, punishment shall be meted out to
the derelict lens.
Another southern olty will bo honored
if some of tbe narrow-minded bictsd do
not cause Secretary Tracy to change bis
mind about naming cruiser ship No. 0,
the sister ship to No. 10, launched at
Baltimore day before yesterday, which
has been named Detroit Mr. Tiacy lias
almost promised that No. 0 shall be
called Mobile.
A number of national banks in differ
ent sections of the country are doing
business in violation of the law, by fail
ing to substitute interest-bearing gov
ernment bonds with tbe treasurer of the
United States as security for tbotr circu
lation, in placo of the 4J per cent, bonds
so held, which bare ceased to bear in
terest. Tho secretary of the treasury has
been easy with the offenders because he
hopes to be able to persuade them to
continue their expired 4J per cents at 2
percent, which would make them avail
able as security for circulation. This Is
a little thing comparatively, but it gives
an idea of the scheming done by Secre
tary Foster to get money to meet the ob
ligations of tho treasury as they mature.
So far he has succeeded, but it is no se-
oret here that he very much dreads the
future when he shall have completely
drained even all of tbe small sources of
supply.
Having mada public Its demands n.ion
the Chilian government on account of
the mobbing ol American sailors at Val
paraiso and been answered by Chili’s
note of defiance, the administration is
now trying to discover tho proper way
out. Sonor Montt, who represented tho
Chilian junta hero for some months
past, has been notified by cablo of bit
appolptment as minister to this inter
view witli Secretary Blaine, who declin
ed to recognize him as the representa
tive of Chili until ho presented his ere
dentials.
Boss Clarkson is again in Washington
and ho struts around as though he had
in bit inside pocket a reception bill of
tale on the entire administration. Rus
sell Harrison, who is also bore, Is quite
chummy with Clarkson, and it would be
difficult to say whloh of them is the
greatest man in his own estimation.
Secretary Blaine has now been in
Washington almost a week, but the sun
rises and sets just the same aa before his
return. He may control tbe Republican
party but that It about as far as be can
go, and even that Is going to be disputed
with him, unless all signs fall.
Mrs. Thompson, of South Carolina,
wife of the democratic member of tbe
Civil Servlco Commission, has been
elected president of a ladies organiza
tion formed for the purpose of raising
money by entertainments and otherwise
to aid needy and disabled ex-confeder
ate soldiers.
Owing to this being the closing week
of tbe state campaigns prominent demo
crats are mighty scarce in Washington.
Advice is valuable chiefly when it
makes a man mad enough to follow his
own ideas.
