A GRAND VICTORY. NOT ONLY IN SOUTH CAROLINA BUT ALL OVER THE UNION. The Democrats Have Captured the House of Representatives by a Maijority of Over One Hundred and Made Large Gains in the Senate. The election last week was a regular Waterloo to Independents and Repub icans all over the country. Tillman's majority in this State is between fifty and sixty thousand. Has kell only carried-three counties, Sumter, Beaufort and Berkeley, all the others went by handsome majorities for the regiilar Democratic ticket. All the Democratic nominees for Con gress in this State have been elected. There was some doubt about Col. El liott's election, but the fact that a great many of the Miller ticket will be thrown dut on account of their size and color, will give Elliott a handsome majority. In the Congressional elections all over the North, East and West the Re publican party has met with a most signal defeat. Besides, the Democrats have-the State officers in a number of heretofore strong Republican States, suolhas Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Misachusetts, Wisconsin and several others. The Democrats have also captured the1Legislatures in New York, New Hampshire, Illinois and Wisconsin and the Alliance has captured the Legisla ture of Kansa which means the retire ment of that great enemy of the South, Ingalls, whichin addition to the four new Senators to be elected by the Dem ocrats in New York, New Hampshire, Illinois and Wisconsin will leave the Republicans a majority of only four in the Senate. Among the Republicans who failed of a re-election to Congress are Mc Kinley, Cannon, Rowell, and many other South haters, which is a source of great joy to every Southerner. Taken altogether, it is one of the grandest victories ever gained by the people over corruption, venality and sectionalism, and will do more to strengthen the Union between the States 'than any event that has happened since the close of- the war, and, unless the -Democrats use their victory unwisely, it. means a Democratic President and Senat In 1892. THE DEMOCRATIC CYCLONE. Now the House of Representatives and Senate Stands. The New York Herald figures the next House up this way: Democrats 236, Republicans 95--Democratic ma jority 141.

SThe present Republican majority in the Senate is fourteen, including the four new seniators from Idaho and Wy omilng. Anti-Republican Legislature fiae been elected in illinois, Kansas, 1 New York, New Hamipshire and Wis cousin, which will elect senators the 1 coming winter. Thereseems tobe alittle doubt about .New Hampshire; the oth ers seem assured. Should New Hiamp- 1 shire have an anti-Republican majority, *fiveleinocrats will replace five Republi cans after March 4,1891, making a dif ference of ten votes, reducing the Re publican majority to four. The rotten *boroughs of Idaho and Wyoming and 1 the theft of Miontana alone prevent a Democratic majority in the Senate andt the repeal of the McKinley bill, the t Executive veto not considered. A Horrible Accident. CHICAGO, Nov. 0.--A platform up- 1 on which was standmng a number of em-c ployes of the Lyon & Hlealy musical instrument factory, collapsed yesterday and instantly killed Win. Tishendorfa and seriously injured Dora Gifford. Wmn. Mcflaniels, Henry Rooline, John Steele and John Kohler. Some time ago, em-t ployes of the factory, about 300 in all, arranged to have their pothographs taken and employed a carpenter to con-t struct a temporary stage for them to occupy while sitting for the negatives. When the emnployes had taken their positions on the platform, it gave way under the weight. Hundreds oft men and women were thrown in a mass, and th'ose who escaped with ont broken Jbones suffered painful bruises and scratches.________ Explosion of a Cannon Cartridge. N~w YoIUC, Nov. 7.-Five men in the employ of the navy yard were handling ammunition at Fort Wadsworth, on Staten Island, this afternoon, when a cannon cartridge exploded. YaJshaniel Chapman, of Biooklyn, was instantly I killed, Fred Cook,-of Staten Island, was seriously injured, and George Heinous, J. J. Keenan and John Davis, all o Brooklyn, were severely burned and otherwise injured. Rough on the Priests. Deputy Juan A. Mateos in the: Mexican~Chamber of Deputies has pre- 1 sented a bill which, if made a law, will] cause three-fourth of the cler~gy to leave Mexico. Nearly all the existing Catho-f lic churches in Mexico belong to the i aovermnent, and the bill proposes that only native priests be allowed to occupy the pulpits. Nearly three-fourths of the priests are Spaniards. A mlost ex eitn debate is predicted. SEVENTEEN BROTHERS IN THE WAR. I They Came of a Remarkable Family of Thirty-five Children. All Sons. --If it came within the line of his mqui. ries." sauld W. C. Moyer, of St. Clairs-V ille, W. V., 'the census enumerator I for Moundsville, near where I live, must have found about as wonderful a dom- f estic - history as any enumerator ran r against elsewhere in this country. I re- a fer to a family by the name ot Brandon. t The father of that family. Charles Bran- d don, (lied when he was 66 years old but t his youngest child was then less than a year old. Ile died just as the civil war 1 broke out, from a broken heart, his wife i having refused to live with him any lon- E -er. Ile had at that time thirty-five I living children, and had been married I three times. "Ihis first wiie bore him two children. C Ilis secoid wife died after beariu him 1 eighteen. At the age of 75 he maried 1 Sarah Barker. she being 16, and the t Youngest of sixteen children. She lived S with him twenty-one years, bearing him b fifteen children, and then left him, taking c her year old baby with her. Brandon d was still hale and hearty, but the deser- f tion of his wife broke him down, and he c died within a month after she left him. a "When his third wife married him the u oldest of his twenty children by his two t previous wives was 39, and the entire f twenty lived under the paternal roof. c The young wife reared all of the twenty 0 that were young enough to need rear- U ing, besides caring for the fifteen of her % own, the oldest of whom was but 20 a when she left their father. The family I of thirty-five kept together for many I vears after their father's death, and if the c patriaichal Brandon had lived a few c months longer he would have seen I seventeen of his sons enlist in the Union ' rmy. It is a question f A1u Jius or any t ther country a.- instance can be found a where one family ever before contributed N seventeen sons to their country's ser vice. "These boys all came of good fighting stock, for their father was a famous. In- e dian tighter himself, a veteran of the f war of 1812 and the Mexican war. c When western Pennsylvania was the b rontier, and the Indian fighter was the M most important and indispensable per- f son in the settlements, Charles Brandon, n occording to all traditions, was one of f the best and most daring of all the ac- a tive foes of the red men. His father was killed by Indians when Charles was M only 3 years old. He himself was made d ? prisoner, and lived with the Indians a twelve years, hating them more the h Longer he was with them. At the age a of 15 he escaped, and after learning his u mother tongue, spent all his time, until j they were driven away to more remote r settlements, in hunting and killing In dians. "He was 51 years of age when the I: war of 1812 broke out, and he was one n of the 'first to join the American army, n and was in it when peace was declared. r He was 74 when he enlisted in the a Mex*an war. "The third wife of this verile old t fighter is living in Moundsville hale and t hearty at the age of 67. She is over six i: feet high and as straight as an arrow. I Of her thirty-five children and stepchil- u dren, she knows positively of the whare- r abouts of but fifteen. The rest are 1 scattered about the country and dead. c The thirty-five children were all sons." b -St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Credit for Cleveland. t CorUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 9.-Allen W. i: Thurman, son of Judge Thurman, in 1, whose honor a banquet is to be given t November 13, addressed a jollification t meeting at Hamilton, Butler County, a the home of Governor Campbell, this e evening and gave the credit of the re- r cent victory to ex-President Cleveland, ij and at the same time paid him the fol lowing hioidsome tribute: "Yet this was the issue' plain and simple, brought about by the McKinley ~ bil, and to the man Grover Cleveland, who three years ago boldly and fear ressly attacked this whole system, more than to any other we owe this victory. Never for one moment, amid all the t abuse thai. was heaped upon him, did n Le falter or his courage fail. Believing in the truth and justice of his position,y believing that the government had no right to take money from the pockets of the people solely for the benefit of a Darticular class, he continued year after a year, when others hesitated to battle forn he riaht, and now, when all are eager h Lojoiniin the fray, certainly this fact, a that he dared to lead when scarcely any ~ lared to follow, shows the metal he is nade of, and I believe that the whole ti people will see to it that he, and only ,. e, shall be again chosen as their leader n 1892. If ever man spoke the truth' a surely he did when he said. a few days ago, 'No one has a greater right to re ioice than I have.'a Wrecked by Robbers. b KANSAs CmT, Mo., Nov. 7.-A spe- ti ial to the Star from Sedalia, Mo., says:t [rain No. 3, West bound, on the Mis- P ouri Pacific was wrecked by train rob- at ers three miles East of Otterville.

EMPERANCE WOMEN IN SESSION Iresentation of a IHanncr to the State Convention of the W. C. T. U. :NEWlERlR Y. Nov. G.-The State Con ention of the Women's ChrIstian Tem erance Union met here last night with fair attendance of ladies from all arts of the State. The feature of to ilt's mcetlngr was the presentation of beautiful and paimted silk banner to be convention by its eloquent presi ent, xMrs. Sallie F. Chapin. of Charles :n. In niakingz the presentation Mrs. hapin said: --Great curiosity was ex ressed as to what cinblem I would use s the exponent of temperance work in outh Carolina. 'A target' was pro osed. and that suggested the emblemi have chosen. 'the palmetto.' Wom ns's work in the temperance cause has ften been made a target, against which eak witticisms and stale impertinences ave been hurled by those who do not ike the trouble to inquire into the cope and magnitude of the great work eing accomplished by the thousands of onsecrated woman who are battling in efenice of there homes with the power .d foe, whose batteries are erected at Yeay street croner and whose victims re in all our homes. But a target had npleasant associations and would be ie rena. ider of a fact we desired to )rget-that there were those even of ur own households of faith who not nly gave us no encouragement In our npopular work, but those sharp reapons had pierced our hearts again nd again. We (lid not want to remem er all this, so we chose 'the palmetto,' r though bullets be shot into the heart f the palmetto the wound will be con ealed and covered by a new growth; ack it with a sobre, it will still show a ziwn. green and flourishing. And en the motto exactly suits the temper nee work in South Carolina. 'While re breathe we will hope.' "Massachusetts has her Mayflower; leorgia had selected cotton. But the layilower would not have suited us ven if it had not been appropriated, )r our Huguenot ancestors landed on ur own Carolina coast fifty-eight years efore the Mayflower came over. So it -as the most natural thing in the world )r me to adopt our own State tIag, iotto and all, and I was surprised to nd how appropriate it is to our temper nee work. "In the first place, palm trees love ater, their roots always go below the rought line. The palmetto can endure ny amount of pressure; you can pile eavy weights on it, but as soon as they re removed the elastc fibers assumes its pright position. So defeat, abuse. un ast criticism, only make us more deter iined. Like the palmetto, the W. C. '. U. breasts the storm of adverse fate. "The heart of most trees is hard, the eart of the palmetto is soft. The pal ietto grows every year more syna lettrical. It sheds off all the under rowth, the trunk becomes smoother d firmer and furnishes no hiding lace for parasites. So it has been with ae W. C. T. U. Another way in which ie palmetto resembles the W. C. T. U. that there are a great variety of alms, Each having its own especial se and place. Some are so strong they my be used as masts, strong enongh to ithstand the tempest, others furnish il, and others, again, can only be made y delicate hands into fans. "So in the W. C. T. U. our women ave 'diversities of gifts.' Some of Lem are able by their eloquence to thrill umense audiences and to speak before gislative and Congressional commit es. But % the large majority belongs me duty (as they .visit peniteneiaries d almshouses) of pouring in the oil of onsolation to wounded hearts or fan nig the fevered brow of the friendless ivaha in the hospital wards. GOVERNOR TILLMAN. SReporter Telis Hirn of His Eiection and Gets an Interview. AUGUSTA. GA., Nov. .-A Chron :le reporter had the pleasure of carring 2e news to Governor-elect Benj. R. Till an, of South Carolina, last night. After casting his ballot in Edgefield esterday lhe came over to Augusta to a some guano notes in bank, and was lnd at the Augusta Hotel last night.

The re 3rts brought no news of difficulties ywhere in the Sta:', and indicated a eaceful and quiet election. Governor Tillman said he was not at 1 surprised at the small vote received y the Haskell ticket. H~e had never at ibuted any strength to the anti-Tillman eket, and was not surprised at the com ete fiasco of the H~askell movement. "-I n much gratified," said he, *'at the ws that the day has passed without ay violence. 1 never had the slightest >ubt that the State would give me an Terwhelmilng maajority.

CrcIAGo, November 8.-Benjamii Butterworth, who declned a renomin tion for Congress from his ditrict in CIn cinnati, expressed hiimseif to-day upo: the result of the election: "In my opin ion no man could have made a success full race for the Presidency ofthe Unite States standing upon the issue ot th McKinley bill. and I think high tariff reckless road to travel for public offlice a the present time. "The people of this country are in sue! a state that not even the most prosperou class will stand the addition of anothe feather's weight of tax. It was the mos unwise policy that any party could put sue to take the stand of favoring an in crease in tile fariff when it is and ha been apparent that reduction is what ha been needed and wanted. I think I sa% what was cominng-at least my action show that I pursued a wise course, an the other Republicans knew only to well the inevitable consequence of th McKinley bill. I received a letter fror a Minnesota Congressman this morning which read: "How terrible was th slaughter. You saw the trouble and sli out, but I staid like a lamb and wa butchered beautifully. Tile 3McKinle bill and the Farmers' Alliance were to much for me.' "I do not think that the actions o Speaker Reed antagonized publie feelin to the extent the newspapers make out and nearly every one know that Demo cratic gains were made because a clas of Republicans are becoming more an' more disgusted with tile higlh tariff'teach ings. .Now that the prophet has spoke: and the lesson has been taught, I hay no doubt that proper adjustments wvil immediately follow."
