ot the Ohio has contributed according
to her ability.' Big inroads have been
made-in the vote in southern states.
In* tie west the populists hftve lost
their grip except in'-Nevada,4 where
their plurality was-reduced.to 500. In
the democratic states" of-"the sjouth,
however, they have, "'strengthened
themselves-at the expense of tlie democracy./ > « .^*
■m -Nothing but* the official count will
decide the contest .in' ffest Yirginia,
but the probabjiityis that Prof. "Wilson, author ofe'the Wilson bill, has
been defeated by the hardy mountaineers. While his defeat is no more significant than results elsewhere, it is
the cause of much joy—except in England. The London Gazette says: "The
decision of West Virginia must be a
source of regret to many Englishmen. Wilson is a man of high
character arid broad xfews and his non-
success is a distinct loss to congress."
The American people Will try to bear
his loss with fortitude.
.Congress will be greatly changed.
The last congress had nearly a 100 democratic plurality in the house, which
has been made nearly or quite 100 re-
.|pblicj$*,.%<gain of 200. congressmen.
The senate will stand 43 republicans
to 38 democrats and 7 populists, which
will give the republicans control.
The defeat of democracy . is overwhelming and undeniable. Democrats
who still remain democrats—though
hundreds of thousands of them will
never vote that ticket again—receive
their quietus very calmly. They wer^
looking for defeat but not annihilation. Tbe first shock had hardly been
received by the faithful, before ;they be:
'^Mk'M®,$M}ure up Excuses "for the over
use*'
The dictionary makers must invent
a new word. "Land slide", "cyclone?5,
"swamped", "snowed under", and kindred political phrases are obsolete.
Their expressiveness has been rendered weak and meaningless by Tuesday's
election. Even the crowing rooster and
the screaming eagle usually displayed
after a great victory at the polls are
faint emblems of Tuesdays result.
There are times when adjective and
adverbial modifiers, however superlative, are wholly inadequate and we
must fall back upon such simple words
as "big" and "great". Tuesday's election was a great victory for republican principles.
The republican success wa,s not confined to narrow limits. Clare county
<;ould not hold it, though it
changed .from 100 democratic to 300
republican plurality, nor Michigan
with its increase from 16,000 plurality
two years ago to 104,000. Tuesday.
The victory in Maine a few weeks ago
has had its echo in Colorado and California, and ItfortlpCarolina and other
southern states vied with Michigan
and Wisconsin in emphasizing its disgust at democratic" incompetency.
Even America could not hold it, and
a wail comes up from across the sea.
Ohe of the Cobc^en .twins has been
whipped and the other* cries in -gym-
throw, and every conceivable reason
but the right one may be heard on
every side, though by far the largest
number of democrats, thinking men,
recognize the true reason "and  admit
that it is a verdict of the American
people against democratic ideas and
practices.  ' When the flrst   returns
showed that Michigan had repudiated
democracy, Fisher's "white horse" and
refeteeism were the reasons readily
given as the cause. _>Tew York returns
came next, and for the result there
Hill arid the big democratic internal
fight were blamed.   But when Pennsylvania,  Ohio,  Massachusetts,   Illinois, Wisconsin and the whole north
ancl west spoke in the same positive
tones, and a responsive echo came up
fromthesouth land, refereeism and
Tammany sunk out of sight as excuses, for the former is indigenous and
peculiar to Michigan and the latter to
Sew York, and neither contributed
enough to make the drop-in-the-bucket
comparison applicable.
No, it was a national verdict. And
what does it signify? Here and there
are heard men insulting the intelligence of the American people by saying, as does Watterson of the Courier-
Journal, that it is to punish the democratic party and Cleveland for not going further with tariff reform in the
direction of free trade. Just as if the
people were such blamed fools that
they thought by putting republicans
back in control of thegoverment they
$-6uld thereby obtain free trade the
soonetl * N% the people had learned
the object lesson thoroughly, and knew

The following figures but scantily
convey the real magnitude of the
change. Every state in the union has-
moved in the same direction, but not
■all with as striking results: Michigan,
plurality 100,000; without a democrat
in the state senate and only one in
the house of representatives—John
Ponovan, of Bay county. A solid republican delegation in Congress.
Every county in the state, except two,
went republican on state officers, and
wherever the democrats got an office
it was for personal and not political
reasons. r
Hill went out of New York city
with less than 3,000 plurality and was
met at Harlem bridge by Morton with
over 150,000 plurality, while Hew
Yorkfs legislature and .congressional
delegation are very strongly republican.
Ohio gives 150,000 republican plurality, and elects 19 out of 21 congressmen.
Illinois has 125,000 and all but one
out of 22 congressmen.
Wisconsin's plurality is over 60,000.
Like Michigan, its congressional delectation is solid.
Iowa is in the Michigan class, her
plurality being over 90,0.00. ^
Pennsylvania's plurality is some*?;
■where beyond 225,000. *      "*.
So the story goes. Every state north

fool all the people all the time," said
Lincoln. It was done two years ago,
and the people have been waiting with
what grace they could for an opportunity to redeem themselves from the
imputation of foolishness.
The political revolution is greater
than the most sanguine republican
anticipated. But yet it is not complete. Two years from now will witness a more complete re-establishment
of the republican party. The house of
representatives is safe by a big margin,
but the senate is. not sufficiently solid,
nor can it be until another third of
that body is retired in 1896. The republicans have the presidency secure.
Wbat will be the effect of Tuesday's
victory upon the ■ country? Its first
and present result will be to restore
courage and confidence in trade. This
will not be very visible nor sudden,
but will be gratifying in its tendency
in spite of the existing tariff law.
The new congress will assemble in
four weeks and until then and for a
little time later there will be some
suspense in" manufacturing investments; awaiting an expression of congress as to whether i| will attempt
legislation on the tariff 'and silver.
There is no prospeet of any radical
change in the tariff as the president
stands in the way of it. But individual items of the bill may be revised in spite of him.
Too mueh should not be expected
from the change. Steel rails and many
other important items have-already
begun to* move this way from across
the water due to the new tariff law
which means that to that extent our
factories must still remain idle. For
the next month or so the papers will
be closely scanned to detect an im-
provment in the labor market, but it
will be slow, and not at all, comparatively, in that class of manufactures
where the tariff has been greatly reduced.
We give the returns complete for
Clare county on governor, secretary of
state, congressional and legislative
representatives, and on all county officers. These figures will be almost or
quite unchanged by the official count.
An examination of the table will
show some interesting things;the total
vote on Governor was 1548, which is
about 200 short of the registration, and
this 200 we would state on good authority were chiefly republican, so
that they would increase rather than
decrease the general result.
The plurality for governor is nearly
300, and on secretary of state, which is
the usual figure for comparison, it is a
little more than that. While on county
officers the plurality should be called
250, based on the vote for coroners,
which is least effected by personal matters. The plurality in the county can
safely be called 250. The vote two
years ago gave Morse, (dem.) for governor, 114 plurality and the democratic
coroners 90. So the change is about
350 to 400 votes.
The prohibition vote shows a gain
of 88.on governor, and 80 on coroner.
The vote in Clare city has grown from
25 to 88, a gain of 63. Leaving a gain
out side of the city 15. The prohibition vote shows,a gain of 92 in Clare,
Grant, Sheridan and Gteenwood, which
indicates a loss of 12 in the balance of
the county, based on coroner. It is
worthy of note that the prohibition
vote exceeds the democrat vote inClare
3d ward,Sheridan and Winterfield and
nearly equals in Grant and Greenwood. The straight vote in Sheridan
were 22 republican, 23 democrtic
27 prohibitionist. Sheridan is clearly
the banner prohibition precinct.
The populists cast one vote less in
the county than they did two years
ago for governor.
It is an even thing now between the
republicans and democrats in Clare
first ward and in Franklin. The democrats still hold garrison second ward
by five, the third" ward by twelve, and
Hamilton by five. Otherwise every
precinct in the county is republican
with Surry in the lead with 90 plurality and Redding next with 45.
As to the individual candidates and
their respective votes, the annexed
table shows it all. Seldom have personal matters entered so largely into a
county campaign. 9
From John R. Brown's vote for sheriff to W. H. Browne's vote for treasurer there is a difference of 455 votes.
The republican candidate for treasurer
ran about 150 yotes ahead of his ticket
his plurality being augmented by nearly every precinct in the county. The
republican candidate for surveyor also
had about 30 votes more than the
coroners. The democratic candidates
for sheriff and clerk slipped through,
the latter with the slender margin of
ten yotes. D. R. Wait, republican, is
elected by a nice plurality, but his
opponent made a hard fight for, deducing the normal plurality by nearly
100 votes, drawn chiefly from Clare,
Harrison, Hayes and Hatton.
John Quinn's plurality for-prosecut-
ing attorney is 145, being reduced
about 100 votes by the strenuous efforts
made in the behalf of Wickham and
Giberson. The vote for John Giberson,
for nroecuting attorney, though about
75 votes ahead of his ticket is not as
great as was looked for. He made a
really magnificent run in Clare city,
polling more than either of his
Opponent, which manifests the esteem
in which he is held at home, as well as
records the sentiment of a very large
number of voters in this city upon the
principal question which his party
stands for.
It is a source of much regret, that
the republican candidates for sheriff
and clerk were not elected. Both are
men who would have done credit to
those positions, and we sincerely believe the interests of Clare county
would have been promoted by their
election. Their defeat is attributed
to the vigorous campaign made by
their opponents, who worked early and
late with their eyes on the plums—
and they got them.
Washington is republican by 15,000.
The Montana legislature is republican.
The republicans claim 30,000 majority in Kansas.
The IsTorth Carolina legislature is

The republican state ticket in Missouri is elected by 10,000. The republicans have the lower house, but the
democrats control on joint ballot, and
can elect a senator.
Partial returns from^ew Mexico indicate the election of TJ B. Catron,
(rep.) for delegater to congress. ' The
legislature is still in doubt, with the
chances favorable for a republican majority.
The entire republican ticket is elected inldaho by upward of 2,000;plurality.
The returns indicate that the legislature will be republican. The Morton
vote seems to have gone strongly republican.
"Bloody-Bridles" Waite, (populist)
is defeated in Colorado by republican
candidate. Waite attributes his defeat to the money power and to the
women. He advocates "a peaceful
revolution by means of the ballot,"
and adds: "But the ballot .has not
proved efficacious in this state."
