Ga., Nov. 11 .--The s;nok( of Tuesday's battle had scarely cleare away hefore Georgia found withm itn borders another army to take the place of the army of Democratic workers who had done such valiants service. This was an army ot ollice seekers and cvcry hour has b:ou.it prominent recruits to to their ranks. Aspirnts for positions in the State and out of it can be found on all sides. Atlanta is 0looded with them and every city and town in the State furnishes its full quota. The mem bers of the Lei-islature, whicn is in ses sion here, have been besieged by appli cants who are seeking their endorsement and sianatures to positions. Naturally there has been considerable talk concerning the more important post tions. In addition to the names already suggested for Cabinet positions are two of Geor-ia's most prominent men. They are J. G. Blount and Henry G. Turner. Both men have national reputations. Judge Turner has just been re-elected to Congress where he has served with note for six terms. Colonel Blount, after serving twenty years, declined re-eles tion this year, confident of the success of Cleveland. of whom, he has always been a ios, earbest and enthusiastic supporter. Durin_,, Cleveland's admin istration Blount wits the ollicial chair man of the Hou-e Commit tce on Post oflices tnid lostroads, an( his friends throughout. G-eorgia an: no man has more, will urge his eminent qualitica tions for a Cabinet polction.

That man is Williani F. Iarriy, chair man of the nationa! Democratic coin mittee, who has directed the campaign from beginning to end.

It meansthiat McKinleyism is most emuphaticatlly condemned. Mr. Foster, IIarrison's Secretary of State, expresses the truth when lie says: 'The party challenged the judgment of the country on the McKinley bill, and the verdfct must be accep)ted as the wfill of the people that a different policy shall be adopted.' "Geni. Palmer, Mr. Springer and other leading D)emocrats express t heins.*hves to the same effect, It is 'the will or the people that a different p)olicy shall be adopted' with the respect t,o the tar fir, and all D)emocrats who have been chosen to represent the ple4 in Con. gress and in the White Ilouse must re spect that will, withont hesitation, without timidity, and wit hoot (delay.

A Great Work to be Done and Done as 8 Quickly as Posslbie-Neoesalty of an Extra Session of Congrep.-New States t to be Admitted. t WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-There is a probability that the 53d Congress will be called iu extra session next March - immediatelv after the inauguration of D President Cleveland. The Senate will, - of course, be convened to act upon the nominations of the incoming Presi dent, but there is so much legislation for the Democrats to accomplish that it is the opinion of the party leaders there that the work connot be com menced too soon. A "SOLID" DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT. The great tidal wave of last Tuesday a has brought with it complete control - for the Democrats of every branch of the National Legislature. For the first time since the war that party will 3 be dominant and will be enabled to ) place upon the statute books the laws f which the people have desired for so long in vain. The Senate is Democrat ic, overwhelmingly so, on questions af fecting the tariff, and at least a tie on organization. A general reorganiza tion may be looked for next March, with the Democrats assuming control of the Senatorial offices and of the com mittees. The Democrats have not en ) joyed this control since the 46th Con 1 gress, which met on the first Monday - in December, 1879, and adjourned on 3 the 4th of March, 1881. in that Sen. I ate they had a majority of nine. A NEW TARIFF BILL COMES FIRST. . The first work for the new Congress will be the preparation of a tariff bill. Upon this labor men like Springer, Mc Millin, Wilson, of West Virginia, and other tariff reformers, who have been leading a hitherto hopeless fight, will enter with enthusiasm. They are 3 thoroughly familiar with the subject I and will bring to bear upon their task the experience gained through many a i patient investigation and hard fought battle, There will be diverse interests f to reconcile and extreme views will j have to be brought into a common 'o a cus. The responsibilities that now rest upon the Democrats are great, but no one doubts for one moment that they will be acquitted wiih credit. As the great tariff reformer and Ex-Congress man, Win. R. Morrison, said to your correspondent, "The Democrats have 3 been waiting for a good many years for the responsibilities to come, and a they are not likely to shirk theni now." ? THREE NEW STATES. E But the tariff, while the most impor tant matter .to engage the attention of the Democrats, is but one of a number of topics that must be legislated upon. For years the partisan action of a i.te ublican Senate has defrauded three erritories of the West of the right of Statehood, simply because they cast * Democratic majorities at each election. s Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, the two Da ' kotas and Washington were all admit t Led without question because the Re publicans knew that by their admission - the votes in the Republican electoral - column would be materially swelled t and a dozen Republican Senators sent to the National Capital to swell the majority of that party. If it had not been for this action the Demociats would long since have been in control of the Senate. Happily the (lay ot righteousness and justice has come at last. New Mexico, which has been vainly seeking Statehood for many long years, will enter the sisterhood through the Sagency of a Democratic House and Senate, and Arizona and Utah will also be admitted. This will give the Dem ocrats nine additional electoral votes, -and will, moreover,asad six D)emocratic votes to the Democratic side of the Senate chamber. The present House has already passed 3 Acts for the admission or New Mexico and Arizona, so that as soon as t,he new Congress comes in it will not take long for coth houses to agree upon a simple a act of justice to the defrauded Terrn -ties. WIPE OUT A BLOT. The repeal of the Federal election laws. which have been a dIsgrace and I a blot upon the sat ute books, will be y another important thing to demand the ,attention of the D)emocrats. This will ,be done so quickly that the heads ot the Republicans wiil swim with the rapidi - ty of the action. - Trhen there will be financial legisla tion w hich will demand carel uil thought y andl study. Altogether it is not daili cult to see that if the Democrats hope t, to accomplish the wvork which is laid i out for them to do they will have to a coum mence next spring. - WHO slA LL BE srEAKER ? r Thie re is already considerable go!usip about the Speakershiip of the next - louse. A good many D)emocrats think f t hat Mir. Crisp will be re-elected, but it - must he admitated that this feeling is e not unanimous. Ilowever, there are Syet several months in which thisi ques. - tion ( an be discussed ar'd settled. In B the' nmeane there is GO doubt of the i unanimity of opuinioni among all muen in , the party that the iniquitous tariff y must he reformed asw quickly as possi Slelt, and( this work wilh be begun, the u. country may rest assiured, at the very earliest practilcab'le moment.-NXews r and Courier. "A Clean, Sweep." CHIcAGO, Nov. 10.-Secretary ,Jere muiah M. lHusk, on his way back t.o ' Washington, after voting for IIarri son in his home in Wisconsin, was at a the Grand Paciic today. "We are a cleaned out; that's all there Is about 8 it,", he said. "In my opinion the tarriff 'was the wvhole and sole cause of It. Tfhere had been a howl about the tar e 111everywhere, and then the llome 3 stead affair made the laboring class a discontented. UJndoubtedly there has been a change of public sentiment as to the tariff. Trhe reform spirit is growing, and the result has been a clean sweep." 1 A Whack at Egan. -NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-A special cai :, blegram to the herald from Valpar t also, says there Is great rejoicin~g in e Chill over the tlection of Cleveland as e President. Flags are flying from the s residence of Americans and Chilian d citizens are sending congratulatory o telegrams to their AmnericEn friends i- and expressing the hope that an A mern d can gentleman will be sent as Minister to Cihili. S After Reid had spoken there were cries for "Depew." Depew said: "I ex pected to be here tonight attending the obsequence of a distinguished friend of mine (laughter) and I had prepared a eulogy which would be satisfactory to the deceased. I discover, however, that I have been listening to a Democratic ratification meeting. I find that places are changed. 1 am the corpse. [Laugh ter.] Two years ago, Depew 4aid, lie - delivered a sbeech upon the "Typical American." [Laughter.] That speech was used at the Chicago Convention successfully. It had also been used, f he regretted to say, very successfully t ever since. lie could add nothing to what was alleged to have been said by him on that occasion, because a greater orator than he had spoken. The American people had pronounced Mr. Cleveland to be their choice in figures of speech, figures that were disastrous to the Republican party. Simlpson', RCe-elect ion Agaured. ToPE'KA, KAN., Nov. 16-The official returns from Jerry Simpson's District 1 give him 1,400 majority. Two years ago he was elected by 7,432. It is now believed that rie is a candidate for Senator. Leaders of the fusion party t fear that a new man would be defeatt ed in that district, if his seat in Con B gress was vacated and i special oleo tion held. Mrs. Lease says Jerry is a straight out Democrat, and that he is using the 'eople's party, ana that the members do not seem to realiz- it. At two Democratic banquets since the election. Simpson appeared as an itivited guest, and in his speeches is credited with the statemein that the Democratic party would now take the placo of tht People's movement, and carry on the reforms inaugurated by it. .Ile denies that lie is connerted with the alleged plot, to assassinate himself. Ile says he is in favor of a Democrat for the Snate, because "they played fair with us this time and we will n'ld them in the future." It is Probable thero will be a lively time in Kansas 'efore the new .'opu list State oflicerm take their seats. Charges of fraud are made by leading - Bepublicans, and the State Central r Committee is investigating the matter - before any definite action is taken.

MA DUAs, Nov. 10.-A sad story of the fatal interruption of wedding festivi ties is reported from Bejar, a town a forty-five miles south of Salamanca. A B young couple had just been married in 1 church there and the wedding party if had gone to a restaurant where the wedding teast wias served. After the e banquet dancing was begun. Sudden y ly the walls of the building collapsed. SThe entire party, with the employees of the restaurant, were buried in the ruins. A crowd quickly gathered, and the police had no difficulty in obtain Ing volunteers for the work of rescue. Crowbars and axes were soon obtained, e and the work of clearing away the a wreckage was begun as rapidly ts pos I sible, and spurred by the frantic ap. peals for help men throw the heavy - timber itside. They soon came across the terribly crushed and manglad body of one of the wedding guests. Several f persons who had been caught by fall ing timbers were taken out .Llive but ba: ly injured. When the wreck was cleared away sulliciently for it to be known that no one else was in the riuins nine bodies were lying in a ghast ly row on the sidewalk. Tha injured nimbered thirty, some of whom it is thought will not recover. Ohers will be crippled for life. The building was thought to be0 perfectly safe. AlHunt for a Husband.

This WitUout California and Ohio, Both of Which are Claimed by the Democrats --With Theim He Will Have Three Hun dred and Three Votes. NEV YORK, Nov. 12.-Clevelandys vote in the El ctoral College is, accord. ing to the latest returns, 271, without Califrrnia and Ohio, which are cimed by both parties. If he gets those States the vote would stand: Cleveland 303, 1Iarrison 118, Weaver 23. This is based upon reports that Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Nevada and North Dakota are for Weaver, and that Michigan gaves Harrison eight and Cleveland six votes. Nebraska and South Dakota are Repub lican, and the Itepublicans appears to have one of Ohio's twenty three elec. tors. Ilepublican headquarters at 518 Fifth avenue were closed today. The Demo cra tic headquart,rs will be kept open for another week or two. The National Democratic Campaign Committee will act in an advisory capacity-a sor. of temporary cabinet--to Mr. Cleveland from now till inauguration day. The committee will meet one day next week, probabiy Thursday, and among other. things, will discuss the advisability of mainitanin permanent quarters In New York until March 4. Ex-secretary Whitney and the other Democratic chiefs will be in daity consultation with President-elect Cleveland. Hotter and1l Better. The grand victory won by the Dem ocratic party at the polls last week is even more sweeping than was at first, supposed. The Itepublicans have been routed horse, foot and dragoon all along the line, and the people have at last come into their own. All the money the llepublitans coi6ld raise for the purporse of corrupting the voters availed them nothing. The people had at list realized that they were being plundered by their so-called friends and they arose in their might and hurled the party of plunder from the high places that it occupied in the nation. In our judgment the change did not come a day too soon. 11ad the Repub lican party succeeded in the contest just ended they would have so in trenched themselves with force bills and election laws that it would have been impoEsible to wrest the govern miient from their hands except at the point of the bayonet. But happily, the people were aroused in time to avert the danger that was threatening the nation by signally defeating at the polls the party that had for years not only plundered them, but which was on ttfo eve of enslaving them by binding them hand and foot with the infamous force bill, which was intended to keep the Itepublicans in power for all time re gardless of how the people voted. A ltairoad 1orror. OTT(:M%wA, 0., Nov. 10.-A fearful catastrophe occurred on the chicago, Milwaukee and St. 'aul Rtailroad last night at Ilighland Centre, a small sta tion north of this city. A fast freight train dashed into the caboose of a local freight train standing on the track, tel escoping the cabooe and four cars. The caboose caught fire. four people were burned alive, and a n.Alber of others had narrow escapes. The ca boese was split by acar ot grain, wedg ing in four people on the right side. l'he most pitiful case was Miss Llz-ie Butler, of this city, who got her head out of the window and pleaded with those about to save her, but her body was pinioned by the freight car an.d It was impossible to extricate her. Mrs, Jones, also of this city, tried to escape through a window, but she was an un usually large woman and could not succeed. T1he other victims were an un, known woman andl an unknown man, The latter is thought to have been a butcher at Oskaloosa. The injured are Mrs. Clyde Miller and Mrs. Pickett, of this city, and bliss Lizzie Corry of Sigourney. They are badly burned. A curious inicident was that one of the passengers was disguised and in the erash the disguise came off revealing a noted crook. iIe qluickly disappeared in the excitement. Collapse of a MKill.
