A NEWSPAPER OF TO-DAY; PUKE INTONE AND EXPRESSION; PROGRESSIVE IN ALL THINGS. VOL. XI. MCMINNVILLE, TENNESSEE, SATURDAY, NOV. 8, 1890. NO. 51 YICTOEY Democracy Sweeps the Country. Over One Hundred Democratic Majori ty in the Next Congress. CLAY EVANS RETIRED IN GOOD STYLE. Buchanan's Majority Away Up Among the Tens of Thousands. Last Tuesday's elections proved a Waterloo for the Republican party. In our limited space it is impossible to give more than the general outline of the result, with a few of the prin ciple details. The first thing for which the people of this Congression al District and of Tennessee in gener al have to rejoice, is the defeat of Clay Evans and the election of II. C. Snod grass by a majority of about nine hundred. Following are the majorities, offi cial and estimated, as given by the Chattanooga Times of Thursday : Snodgrass. Evans. Bledsoe Bradley Cannon 504 Grundy 5G0 Hamilton James McMinn Meigs 75 Monroe 12.") Polk.... M Sequachee 167 Van Buren 300 Warren 970 White 1,204 give them a majority there, they will elect a democrat to succeed Senator Evarts. Kansas for the first time breaks its solid republican delegation in Con gress, and returns only one republi can out of seven. One democratic Congressman is elected from that state, and 5 alliance men. It is also claimed that Ingalls, whose term in the U. S. Senate expires next March, will be retired from that body. Fifty-Second Congress. Rep. 1 G 1 1 Fa. Al. 1G0 082 1,132 175 59G 8 2 6 1 1 3,144 Total P.,961 Official. The gubernatorial race proved a surprise in the small vote received by Kelley and Baxter. Buchanan will have a big majority over both of them. Kelley's vote, from present indications, will not reach 15,000, and Baxter's will probably not exceed 75,000, while Buchanan's will go something beyond 100,000. In the First Congressional District of this State, Alf. Taylor, the regular republican nominee, defeated Rod. Butler, republican independent, by about 500 majority. In the Second District Houk's ma jority was reduced from 13,000 to 3,000. Democrats were elected in the other eight Districts as follows : 3d, II. C. Snodgrass; 4th, Benton McMillin; 5th, Jas. D. Richardson ; Cth, Jas. E. Washington ; 7th, N. N. Cox ; 8th, B. A. Enloe ; 9th, Rice A. Pierce ; 10th, Josiah Patterson. All of the democratic unseated by Czar Reed and his min ions, have been re-elected, by in creased majorities in most cases. The democrats have won all of their old districts, carried all of the doubtful ones, and gained a number of others which were thought by both parties to be safely republican. It has been a glorious victory for democracy all along the line, and a stinging defeat to tho republicans. We print a table elsewhere showing how the next Congress will stand. McKinley of Ohio, and Cannon of Illinois, are both defeated. The democrats also gain control of several more states previously held by republicans. Patterson, demo crat, was elected governor of Penn sylvania by a good majority. Massa chusetts, New Hampshire, Connecti cut, Michigan, Nebraska and Wiscon sin, it appears now will all have democratic governors. Wisconsin and New Hampshire have elected democratic legislatures, which will retire Senators Spooner and Blair, and elect democrats in their stead. The democrats :Uso elaitn the New York legislature, and if full returns Chicago, Nov. 6. The following Congressional table is based on the Associated Press dispatches received up to 12:45 o'clock.

Gross'. lturk'8 Circus a lilg Thing. Augusta (Ga.) News. Because but little notice has been made in the local columns of the Evening News this week of the com ing of this splendid show, it must not be taken for granted that it is a poor thing or a one-horse affair. Quite the contrary, as those who are being en tertained by the thousands upon Mar ket street this afternoon will testify. This Is one of the neatest, cleanest and best conducted circuses ever in Augusta. It is a museum, a Roman hippodrome and a first-class circus combined. There are fifty arenic stars and that wonderful school of educated and trained horses, thirty in number, which is worth five times the price of admission. Death of Mr. John K Bentley. Mr. John E. Bentley, after an ill ness of four weeks from fever, died at tho residence of his mother-in-law. Mrs. Lou Spurlock, In this place at 6:30 o'clock Wednesday morning, Nov. 5th. Mr. Bentley was a mem ber of the firm of Fite, Lyles, Davis & Co., Nashville. He had been trav eling for his firm for the last several years, during which time his wife and two little sons have made their home here. Mr. Bentley was a high-toned christian gentleman, very quiet and reserved in his manner, and enjoyed the highest confidence and esteem of all who knew him. His grief stricken wife and children have the deepest condolence and sympathy of every one in McMinn- ville in their sorrowful affliction. His remains were laid to rest in the new cemetery here Thursday after noon, after a funeral service at the residence. Many beautiful floral tributes covered the grave. The Nashville American of Thurs day thus reports the action of the wholesale merchants of that city on Mr. Bentley 's death: At a meeting of the wholesale mer chants of Nashville, at the office of Richardson Bros. & Co., No. 112 Pub lic Square, yesterday afternoon, fcr the purpose of taking suitable action with regard to his death.II.
