Plurality Members of Hause
and Senate.
Independents have been a good deal
discouraged, and republicans corres
pondingly elated by the results of Tucs
day's election in Nebraska. While it
appears that the independents have
made gains in most parts of the state,
the democratic vote is far below and
the republican vote above what it was
two years ago.
. The republicans have been claiming
everything in the state since Wednes
day morning. But they have not shown
any figures to justify the claim. The
independents think that later returns
indicate van wycKS election oy a
small plurality. But the rest of the
. ticket is probably defeated.

We may organize in "brotherhoods" and talk our time away,
We may theorize forever and yet dependent stay,
We may "resolute" 'gainst robbery and do what e'er we like,
For capital is stronger than the very strongest strike.
The money power is safe enough while workers still divide
And vote against each other they who should bo side by side;
The rich shall be defended by the soldiery and laws
Till the workers get together and vote for labor's cause.
O workers, weary workers, who bear the rubs and knocks,
The only road to freedom runs past the ballot box,
The kings of transportation each takes a robbei's toll,
They stand between consumers and labor's wage control;
The gold monopolizers curst usury demand,
And millions drawn from labor enrich the lords of land.
- But all this legal robbery at toil's behest should b3
Itself (f lawed forever-'5So'jeoplo may be freer-- - --- ,
We all must vote together for equal birthrights lost,
For money, land and commerce secured to us at cost,
O workers, weary workers, who bear the rubi aad knocks, .
The only road to freedom runs past the ballot-box.
The men who spend in luxury what others' toil has earned
Should be exposed for wkat they are, and ba as robbers spurned;
Tho universal law of God that each shall sweat for bread,
In justice on our statute books, should fill the dudes with dread.
The useless butterflies who cost their sisters lives of shame
Should be considered vastly worse and wear the vilest name;
But those whose lives should give them rank as lowest of the race
Will proudly reign as kings and queens till labor claims its placo.
O workers, weary workers, who bear the rubs and knocks,
The only road to freedom runs past the ballot-box.

PRESIDENT
CLEVELAND
A Regular Landslide to Democracy
Scarcely Anything is Left for
Harrison.
DOWN GOES THE HIGH TARIFF f
New York, Indiana, Wisconsin and lilt,
nois Democratic Ohio and Cali
fornia Doubtful Michigan
Divided.
Weaver Carries Almost as Many
States as Harrison The Gen
eral Results.
WEDNESDAY MORNING.
The returns which "came in up to 2 o'
clock were very meager. Tho indica
tions are that Cleveland has carried
New York by a largo majority, Now
Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, and all
the southern states except Alabama
and North Carolina: that Harrison has
carried Ohio, Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont; that Weaver has carried
Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado. Wyoming
South Dakota, Nevada, Oregon, Ala
bama and North Carolina. From other
states no returns sufficient to indicate
the results have been received. It seems
evident that Harrison is hopelessly de
feated, and the probability is that
Cleveland will have a majority in tho
electoral college.
The returns from Nebraska are ex
ceedingly meager. The republicans
claim the election of the whole ticket.
The independents do not concede any
thing.
The democrats codfidently claim Bry
an's election. Returns from other con
gressional districts are not sufficient to
indicate the result. Tho republicans
have carried Lancaster county by seve
ral hundred.
THURSDAY MORNING.
The results of the elpntfon
astonishing land-slido tn f!lAVAlnnii .
Harrison is hopelessly defeated. Ultra
protection receives its death-blow. The
republican party receives a defeat from
which it will never recover. Tt is im
possible to give the exact results in any
state, or to forecast tho complexion of
the next congress, but this mnnh U ho-
yond dispute: That Cleveland will have
1 . a . -
a very large majority in tne electoral
college; that the next houso will be
strongly democratic, and that tho re
publicans will have a majority in the
next senate. ,
