Lat. Xewi. Advices from Raleigh sets to test all doubt as how North Carolina toted last Tuesday. Leaving out the Governor, the State was never before more completely under Republican control than it will be when the new regime takes effect. Both the Senate abd House are hopelessly lost to the Democrat. That means two Repub lican United States Senators and Republican magistrates and conse quently Republican county govern ment all over the State for two years at least. The only Democratic con gressmen are Lock hart and Woodard. Crawford and Shaw are very probably defeated. We can curtainly count on Lock hart; Woodard's election is rea sonably sure, but all else may just as well be labeled: Mud. What the Democrats Coucei e, The Democrats concede that the Republicans will organize the Senate, quoting these figures in this connec tion : The Republicans, they say, now hare thirty-eight votes, includ ing Senators Stewart and Jones ; they gain one vote each from Montana, Wyoming, " Washington new seats practically West Virginia, New Jersey and Kansas taking three from the Democrats and two votes from Nort'j Carolina, which will give them a total vote after March 4, 1895, of 46 Senators, while 45 would be a majority. The two North Carolina Senators will surely vote with the Republicans on organization, though oae of them may be a Populist. This calculation, it will be seen, includes the two Nevada' men, Stewart and Jones, both of whom, the Democrats J say, will probably ote with their old narr.V Tf Ma nf ikam pknnU fail n a .1 .l u ir ..

A survey of the returns Bhows that in the west, the northwest and- on the Pacific coast the Republican landslide seems to be overwhelming, and in the southwest the Republican gains ie ported are of such magnitude as to suggest almost a revolution. The only exceptions to the ruie ap pear to- be in California and Nevada, to Nevada the silver party, which ex ists as a'psrty in that State only, has, o all appearance, between the Republicans, the Democrats and regu lar Populists, clectiai its State ticket j and CooeressruaD . There is also an element of doubt in Nebraska, where the election of Major (rep ) over Holcomb (pop.-dem .) is by no means assured. W ith these exceptions how ever, the tide of Republican success appears to be overwhelming. Ohio has given the largest Repub lican majority in its history, wiping out not only the McKinley plurality of 85,000, but going above the high water mark set by John Rrough in 18G3 of 101,.00. It is thought that the official returns will show a Repub lican plurality of from 140,000 to 150,000. Colorado has repudiated Populist doctrines and swung back into the Republican column, electing the full Republican ticket and both Congress men. Kansas, too. has returned to the Republican faith, aud Jerry Simpson is buried under the landslide along with the other Populists. Wisconsin has reversed her verdict of two years ago, and has elected a Republican State government and 0 of 10 congressmen of the same politi cal faith. In Illinios the Democrats have met a crushing defeat. Not only has the State shown a preference for the the fold. Mr. Peffer's vote would likely be cast with the Republicans for organization. Hints are thrown out that Mr. Peffer is now figuring on making such an alliance with the Re publicans as to enable him to get back into that ptrty. If he and Jones and Stewart should ill vote with the Re publican side that party would hare a total f forty-seven votjs, a very com fortable margin. How gooM of the Counties Voted. Stanly county gave Henderson 100 majority. Montgomery county went against Henderson by 250 r the majority against Headers n in Davidson is 500, and in Davie it is 701. Jack Reinhardt, Democrat was elected to the Legislature from Lincoln county. All else in that county went ! Republican. Union county had a close pull, the Democrats winning by 75 majority. Surry county is eolidi .Republican, as is also Rockingham and Pitt. Iredell is probably captured by the j 9,000 to 10,"000 plurality, including fusionists. j Congressman. Idaho's contribution Guilford, Republican by 200, Per- ! to the landslide is 2,i00 plurality and son 600, Sampson 500, Cumberland j a Consresman from that State. 300, Forsyth 200 to 300, Wake 1,000, , Xorth Dakota has endorsed the Vance 150, li ash 800, Randolph 500, j Republican trick by 1,000 to :J,000 Franklin 100, Gaston 150, Bladen plurality and in the Territory of Ok 300, Alexander 275, Watauga 200. 1 hhoma the Republicans have elected McDowell. Alleghany and Ashe ! a delegate to Congress, give good Democratic majorities. j So much for the states with Repub Rowan and Mecklenburg are the i lican pluralities. Turning to those banner Democratic counties in the j which retain their allegiance to the Democrats: Arkansas returns a solid Democratic delegation, but by a re- State. In this district three countios, Rich mond, Brunswick and New Hanover went Republican They arc old time Republican counties. Mecklenburg, Union. Anson, Columbia and Robison went Democratic.

Loge Harris says the Pops will send Marion Butler and Dr. J. J.

QS3 A special to the New York Evening Post from Raleigh, N.

The Democrats are used to defeat. From the foundation of our govern ment the Democracy has been the conversative element and genuine safeguard of liberty and equality in our land. Time and again they have been in the minority. Sometimes the opposition was so overwhelming that victory saenied a long war off, if not impossible. But never losing heart, with a firm conviction that the right would finally triumph, the Democrats struggled on, fighting and entrench ing, and renewing the fight after ev ery reverse. ,Now and then the cause of the people triumphed. It will tri umph again. It is impossible that corrupt principles, and a fusion for spoils only, can always triumph. To believe that you must be lieve in the supremacy of the mob and the the triumph of venality and prostitution of all principles. feat wi'.l result in bringing about ac tion that will remove the causes of Democratic indifference in time to present a solid front to the enemy in 1896 and to win back the ground lost this year. Mnch will depend upon the spirit in which the Democratic Senators and Representatives retnrn to Washington for the coming session of Congress. If they come with vindic tiveness in their hearts and revenge ii their minds, on account of their personal wrongs, regardless of its ef fect upon the fortunes of the Demo cratic party, there will be no har mony, but a repetition of the recrimi nations which were a feature of the last session of Congress and which dis gusted so many Democrats who had a higher regard for the principles and success of the party than for the tri umph of any individual or corabina tion of individuals. As one Demo crat very aptly put it: "If the pres ent leaders of the Democratic party refuse to harmonize they will find that the rank and file of tae party, who wish for harmony and party suc c:ss above everything else, know how to select leaders who will harmo nizi." Senator Sherman, who was as deep in Republican campaign secrets and expectations as any man, does not hesitate to express bis surprise at the results of the election. He says that the most expected was that the Re publicans would succeed in electing a small majority of the house. If the winners were surprised it is easy to imagine that the losers were more so. Senator Faulkner, Chairman of the Democratic campaign committee, wishes it to be distinctly understood that his ante-election claim, that tie Democrats would retain control of the House, was a bona file one, made upon information obtained from Dem O'rats who he had every reason to suppose were accurately posted up;n the situation in their respective States. To give an idea of the class of Democrats upon whom he relied f r information he cites Illinois, where Hon. William R. Morrison, has been a prominent Democrat since be was old enough to Tote. Mr. Morrison after beicg on 4he stamp is that State for weeks informed Senator Faulkner that the State would certainly elect twelve and probably fourteen Demo cratic Congressmen and that the leg islature would be Democratic. Illi nois did not elect a tingle Democratic Congressman, and, its legislature is Republican. The Senator does not mean by this to cast any aspersion upon Mr. Morrison and the other Democrats who furnished the commit tee the information upon which his claims were based, but merely to show that this was one of the years when the leaders of the party were not posted as to the intentions of the voteis. He believes them to have been as honest in their reports as he was in his claim, but he doesn't fancy being considered a rainbow chaser. President Cleveland is now working upon his annual message to Congress, which is expected to be quiet long this year. While not caring to make the positive statement, I have excel len . reasons for the belief that the message will deal very vigorously with tariff reform and will make it perfectly plain that the President be lieves the defeat of the Democratic party was not for what was done in that direction by Congress, but for what was not done, and will urge in ments, yet a dcz-n bousts have been burned down, barns, fences and crops swept away. Paris, Tenn , is surrounded by flames. James Snider, living near there, went to fight the fires from his fences. V hen he returned to his ho.c, it was in ashes. This is the ex perience of hundreds of gettlers. The village of Hollywood, Miss., is sur rounded by fire and in great danger. Near Renovs, Miss., Harry Owsley and wife, white aad ?ged, were burn ed to death, and a young woman liv ing with them had a narrow escape. Bkeuke, Ark , Nov. 13 The foi esi tires are approaching dangerously near this place. The city was envel oped in smoke last night and to-day it hangs like a pall. Many hunting partits were camped in the woods and it is feared that . e'eral bodies will be found. There has been no rain here for several months and as the basins are all dry the lumbermen are apprehensive of serious loss. Farm ers are out fighting the fire, but it spreads so rapidly that little or no headway can be made against it. Tbe situation at Ntelyvillc is alarming and farmers are fighting day and night to save their homes and buildings. Internal Revenue Colleetloaa.

He was seen sitting on the bridge across Grant's creek by a party passing before 12 o'clock, and later he was found in the creek drowned.

The new Czir of Russia becomes the absolute ruler of a country which no uocertiin language that the omis- j comprises one seventh of the land sur face of the globe, and covers an area of 8,244,100 square miles. The total population of the empire in 1893 was estimated at 120,000,000, of which 100,000,000 live in European Russia and the remainder in the Asiatic portion of the dominion. The whole legislative, judicial and executive power over all this gigantic empire is united in the emperor, whose rill alone is law. He entrusts the ad ministration of the affairs of tbe countrj , however, to four great coun cils the council of the State, the ruling Senate, the holy synod and the committee of ministry. public !l'l h r- as well as many new which the Repu'-lican party is so re ''tie to up 0rinni nf riava novor shown thi riinlina fnp -ct-M, i ember tne closing sale Wf -, daT of Dember. -re.I'i;", H y. iTII & win - -a aj. aw ibuai) markable.

Oar farthers made money in a haphazard way, we hardly know how, but in tht ge days of competitive effort it can not possibly be done. sions of the last session be partially made up at the coming session, by the passing of the free raw material bill by the Senate which were passed by the House at the last session. It is not believed that anything that the President can say will cause the Set ate to pass those bills, because the Democratic Senators who struck tbe free raw material features, with the exception of wool, out of the original Wilson bill will not vote for them; but the President can at least put himself on record as still believing, in common with most Democrats, that the pledges upon which the party was put into power two years ago ought to be kept before the party loses control of Congress, and I believe he will do it. Dun & Co'. Report. R. G. Dun & Compiny's Weekly Review of Trade of the 9th says: Business has been waiting the greater part of the past week, and the elec tions are expected to give a sharper stimulus. Whether men aro right or wrong in expecting better thingi the fact Jbat they expect them docs tend to make things better. Thus a large volume of trade might be expected, although no political events can alter the size of the corn crop nor make the demand for wheat or cotton closer to the supply Neither can the election returns alter the tariff, aod if any in dustry is affected by it, favorably or unfavorably, the situation is exactly the same as it was before the people voted, at least for sooie time to come. But it is fair o infer that further modificatioLS of the tariff are rendered less probable by the elections of la;t Tuefday. Judce OrnlH Dead . A special of the 9th to the Observ er from Mt.
