KEG WEE COU KIER. lt. A. THOMPSON. )>. A. BMlTlt. H. T. JAYNKS. BY .THOMPSON, SMITH & JAYNEsT THURSDAY, NOV.~18,l89oT Taking tho Bearing?. Tho swooping success of tho Domo nrftts In tho latO election WOO OS unex pected as it W08 unprecedented. Tito most satisfactory returns show that tho llouso of Kojprosontativos lu tho Fifty second CongroBs will contain 189 Demo crats, 02 Republicans, and 50 Allionce inen. Tito present Republican majority {n the .'Senate is fourteen, including tho four now Senators from Idaho and Wyoming. Anti-Republican Legislatures havo boon elected in Illinois,. Kansan, Now York, Now Hampshire, Wisconsin and South Dakota, which will oleol Sonators the Coming winter, Thora seems t bo a little doubt about Now Hampshiro; tho others seem assurod. Should Now Hamp shire have nu anti Republican majority, Uve Democrats will roplaco nve Republi cans aftor Marah 4, 1801, making a dif ference of ton votes, reducing tho Repub lican majority to four. Thus it is that tho Republicans oven now need sorely tho count of Senatorial noses from tho now States admitted by thom last winter, since these Senators alone provont, a Democratic majority ill tho Sotiato. Tho Northoru and Western Dem?crata mado a clear gain of GO Congressmen, while tho Southern Democrats gained 21, and tho former did tho hardest fighting for tlitir victories, and aro entitled to tho highest praise and tho bestowal of tho greatest honors. In tho 52d Congress tho Northern and Southern Democrats will bo about equally divided, counting Mary land, Kentucky and Missouri ns Southern State"* : \Tho political responsibility resting on tho Representativos from tho South is gloater than it has bcon for years, and tho futuro good of our party and country demands that thoy and all of us learn tho lesson nt once. Such a degreo of prudence and conservatism must bo shown as will si ay up tho hands of our party associates in tho North, East and West, (heat inroads havo been mado into tho llopubliean rniik in nearly alt tho States. Tako as illustration tho 75, 000 voters in Pennsylvania who declined to endorso tho methods of Quay; tho 25,000 men in Massachusetts who en dorsed tito pluck and statesmanship of Wm. E. KiiBsoll ; tho 10,000 mon in Now Hampshiro who protested against tho ltopublicanism of Ulair and Wm. E. Chandlor; tho 50,000 men in Ohio who refused to sanction such a system of itemized robbery as tho McKinley bill, and tho 18(1,000 mon in Minnesota, Michi gan and Wisconsin who havo reversed their delegations in Congross. This shows tho roBorvo powor of tho people ill a most encouraging light. It is evident that tho Alliauco has con tributed in a very largo moasuro to tho crushing dofoat of tho Republican party. lt is almost certain that a largo majority of tho Alliaiicemon elected to Congress ..viii vote steadily with tho Democracy, and when they could not elect thoir own man, thoy contributed to tho oioction of a Democrat. Thus lt hecomos tho Domo eratic party to study tho suggestions of tho Farmers' Alliauco for tho Iud tennent, of tho financial and other interests of tho people. It might bo very unfortu nate for tho Democracy should tho Alli auco fall away before tho Presidential election in 1802, because of discourage ment, disappointment, or failure to obtain in somo measure tho relief for which tito farmers have banded them selves together. Lot us hopo that in wisdom and con servatism Die Democratic leaders may not bo found wanting. Official Count. (uncial Result of tho Election in Oconeo County for Governor. _|^ . ron oovKiwon.

T Tho Charleston j/Vetcs and (fourier has tho following strong artiolo on tho political situation as detormlnod by tho rocont election : THK HPKAKKItSHH' OK THK FIFTY* HKOONO 00NGKK88. Tho Washington correspondent Of tho New York Herald, in his lotter which was published tho morning after tho election, says that "tho Domoornts having undoubtedly onr ried the next House, tboro will bo tho same scramble for tho high offices that took place at the beginning of the 48th Congress," and names tho probable candidates for scvoral of tho moro important offices, especially that of Spoaker. Tho death of Mr. Randall and Mr. Cox, and tho with drawal of Mr. Carlisle to another Hold of activity, wo aro told, loavo tho practical choico for tho Speaker ship limited to parliamentarians liko Mr. Crisp, of Georgia; Mr. Mills, of Texas; Mr. MoMillin, of Tennessee; Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky; Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, and Mr. i/jmim, of Indiana-"gcntlemon who hereto fore have bad an oxpericnoo ns party lenders," and all of whom have made good records in tho fight for tariff reform, and against tho tyranny of tho majority in the present House. Tho contest for tho other offices mentioned by tho correspondent, namely, those of dork, postmaster, doorkeeper and sorgonnt-at-arms, is of comparatively little consequence; tho "scramble" will concern only the . candidatos and thoir personal frionds in tho House, and it will matter but littlo to tho Democratic pa *ty what candidatos aro oleotod or what part of tho country they hail from. Thc caso is very different with regard to tho Speakership. It may matter very much to tho Democratic party who is chosen to till that posi tion and what part of tho country ho hails from. Wo need not go into this question at any length, as it is very well undorstood alroady by every intelligent and disinterested Domoorat in tho country. Messrs. Mills, MoMillin, Breckenridge, Crisp and Hatch aro Southern men, and while any ono of them would till tho Speaker's chair with honor and credit to himself, and doubtless as acceptably to bis political opponents in tho Ilouso ns any Northern Demo crat in tho same position, tho elec tion of any ono of them would be an experiment which tho Democratic majority in tho 52d Congress cannot afford to make. That majority will owe its exist ence and its overwhelming strength to tho fact that the recent campaign was not conducted on sectional lines, or decided by sectional issues. Nearly half of its members will represent Northern States. It, would bc to tho best interests of the South and of tho Democratic party that this element should practically control the organization of tho House and take tho lead in all its legislation. Wc think that it would be a mistake to place any ono of tho Southern members who have been named even at tho head of the Committee on Ways and Moana._The fa/Uj ftl9&yM Southerner held that position two years ago, and that so many Southern men were on the committee with him, gave tho Re blican orators and organs the opportunity they wanted to denounce the Democratic tariff reform bill as a distinctively ''Southern" measure, and by their appeals to sectional feeling and the fears and pockets of thc representa tives of Northern industrial interests they defeated Mr. Cleveland's re-elec tion, secured the present Republican majority in thc House and postponed the triumph of tariff reform princi ples for four years, if not longer. Whether tho postponement shall bo longer than four years depends now in part upon the conduct of legislation in tho next House, and in a larger part upon who shall be held responsiblo by the country for the character of that legislation. If a Southern man should be elected Speaker, his election would bo re garded by the independent voters in the Northern States, and by the Republican voters who have voted wi i h them for Democratic Congress men this week, as evidence that the influence of tho South is to predomi nate in tho 52d Congress. The Republican newspapers and Con gressmen and stump speakers will take care to foster this impression by every possible means during tho next two years, and especially during the next Presidential campaign. What th.- result would probably bo every intelligent Democrat can answer for himself. Tboro is no room to doubt that it would be to drive off a large number of the voters in the Northern States who voted for the Democratic ticket this week-many of them probably for the first time in their lives---and so to endanger tho success of the party in the decisive contest two years hence. Wbother wo can afford to take this risk is a question which thc Southern Democrats in tho 52d Con gress may weil consider very seri ously, and if they decido that we cannot afford it, their duty to the party and tho country will be per fectly plain. They will insist on tho election of a Northern Doui?orat as Speaker, and the appointment of a Northern Democrat to tho control of every committee which shall be charged willi the duty of shaping political legislation. This will bo a considerable sacrifice for the South ern loaders to make, of course, but with the lessons and experiences of tho last Presidential campaign and of tho last session to instruct them, they will not hesitate to make it unless they hold the success of their party to be of less consequence than tho temporal gratification of their personal ambition, THK Al.MANCH IN 'I'llH KI.KOTION. [From tho Atlanta Constitution.] While the Soul h and the honest and pntriotio p?ople of tho whole country aro rejoicing over tho over whelming defeat of Republicanism, there aro some facts that should be borne clearly in mind-namely, the conspicuous part that tho organiza tion played in the contest in tho Re publican States of tho Wost ?nd c 1 c Si lu tl c< iii Ul tl iiwui i i ii? , ikUw-M.)??>? ^?ju?-?^-r^=r-.-se.?!: - ' -i-ia'!1"??"* -1_4-i-i--i-?y-iji Northwest and tho importance of t??o resulta tit?.-: hayo boon accom plished through its agoney. Tho AlUnnoo finds ready and ea ?or opponents among . disgruntled ) 01 noorat ?, and its, mission Eas, been made tho target of misrepresenta tion, but when that organization is measured by what it lias accord plished in tho Ron?biioan Staten, hy tho power and influence it has ex erted in politics, its importauoo to tho South cannot bo overestimated. Tho ioooid of thc o>T^i?aaiIoii iii the eampnign that has just closed is remarkable for tho unity, harmony and porsistonoo with which it has pressed its purposes. In tho South it has practically merged itself in tho Democratic party. In the West, the stronghold of tho Republicans, the Alliance did not mergo with tho Democrats. It did hotter. It made a squarcout fight of its own, and aidod tho Democrats by crippling tho Republicans. Take, for iustanoo, tho Stato of Kansas, where tho Republicans lind a majority of 84,000, largor than that of Pennsylvania. It was to op pose and cvercamo this tromondous majority that tho Alliance was or ganised in that Stato. It could not join thc Dcmoorats, for thou tho old sootionnl cry would have boon raised, but it went into tho State with a platform of principles practically Democratic in .heir origin and pur pose, and in a very short time revo lutionized tho Republican party. This'rcsult cnn only bp ?ppreoiated at its full worth by tho people of tho South. It is a noteworthy fact that the i ^ Ropublican farmers of Kansas, as te soon as thoy had imbibed tho Demo- m oratio principles of tho Allianeo, bo- 1)! carno exceedingly bitter against their old. party, and thoy have managed to demoralize and defeat it. Thus tho Alliance has accomplished in Kansas in a campaign of thirty days what tho Domocrnts could not havo ac complishcd in a enmpnign of thirty years. To tho Republican farmers of . Kansas thA very name "Demo crat'' has boon iOr moro than twenty live years the synonym of "robol," "traitor" and "coppornoad." It has been tho koy to unlock the store houso of their sectional prejudices It is a pity that this should bo so, and yet, in discussing rosults, it con stitutes a fundamental fnct thnt enn not be ignored. Tho Alliance movement, howovor, lins served to divert these Ropubli can farmors from their war memo ries and their sectional prejudices, rind thoy have nt Inst discovered thnt the prncticnl Democracy, which is tho bnsis und strength of tho Alli ance platform, is hotter suited to their condition, their hopes mid their aspirai ions than ' tho bitterness and strifo of Ropublican partisanship. Their point of view was so changed that, when Colonel Livingston, of Qeorgia, and Colonel Polk, of North Carolina, Democratic Allianccmon, wont into Kansas and took part in thc campaign, their speeches were cheered to tho echo by audiences that had for twenty-five years and rrp**f?j been voting tho RcimblicaiL ucKeVJstraightout und without devia tion. Thc canvass made by Messrs. Polk and Livingston was necessarily brief, hut they crowded a good deal of effective work into thc space of a few days, and there cnn bc no doubt that thc speeches they made did a great deal of good. Wc have alluded to the amazing results in Kansas merely to show the nature and extent of tho Alliance movement among the Republican farmers in thc West and Northwest, lt- shows beyond question thnt the Alliance has a political mission in that region. Its mission, and one that it is carrying out with a success that has no pnrnllcl in the history of our politics, is to teach thc Rcpubli can farmers to think for themselves and to discuss politics freely, fairly and unbiased by sectional prejudices. Some of our Democratic friends in Georgia arid clsewhoro deem it to be their duty to antagonize tho Alli ance movement. It would be for thc whole country, in our opinion, if all Domocrnts-especially South ern Democrats-would work in har mony with thc Alliance, and thus aid it in redeeming thc Rep blican farmers of thc West and Northwest from the evil effects of a narrow and blind.ng spirit of sectionalism. Thc Tickets Printed Wrong. COI.UMUIA, S. C., November 10. Congressman Thomas Ii. Miller, col ored Republican from the Seventh District, who was seated in place of Elliott (Democrat) just before the adjournment of Congress, and who received a majority of the votes cast at tho recont oloetion, will be counted out by the canvassing board. Thc cause of Millor's loss of his seat in Congress is that ho failed to have his tickets printed upon tho paper and in the exact form and size pro scribed by thc State law regulating elections. Tho law prescribes that the tickets shall bo of plain white paper, five inches long and two and one-half inches wide, and contain nothing supcrlluous, or they will not bo legal. Miller's tickets were printed on a brownish paper, smaller than tho prescribed si/.e, and con tained "Por Representativo" instead of "Representative," in tisis caso be ing considered as improper as on thc tickets for Governor in Connecticut. Kllory M. Brayton, who also ran on thc Republican ticket, but who fell far behind Elliott, made tho same error In having his tickets printed. Kl Mott's tickets were correct, but ho fell far behind Miller. Congressman Miller will probably make a little light against being deprived of hi? seat, A.VI>KR80N, November ft.-Karly this morning Larkin Cochrane was seriously shot by Laurence Walker in this elly, Tho ball entered Cooli rane's cheek and II?IH not been found yet.
