NEW YORK-GOING IT!

To the unerriDg indications which pour in upon
US through the newspapers of the Empire State,
we are permitted to add the following extract from
citizens, and cool political calculaors to his friend
in this place, dated
SARATOGA SPRINGS, Sept 9th, 1910.
DEAR Sir III am here for a single day. on my
way to the Northern counties
have only time to say, we shall give a most tri-
umphant majority for Harrison in this State--a
meority which will astonish friends and foes
Van Buren, will be perfectly overwhelmed. The
Locos give it up. Chapman is on his back, and
cannot crO,U."
To this we may add the following extract Of a
lie tier which we find in the Kentucky Common.

in the city Of New York, to his friend in Frank
fort, dated
"NEw YORK, Sept. ,, 1910
"My Dear Sir:-On this sheet send you the es-

you that it is fully confirmed by private letters, in
my possession, from al parts of the State The

Here follows estimates of the majortics in cacf
county of the State
Total Harrison maiorites 2i,450
Van Buren, 1900

The following, from the St. Louis Bulletin o
Monday, is of the same cheering tenor:
EMPIRE SrATE.-Letter writers from New York
speak most confidently of Wing success in tina
State. One of them says; 1.-The Empire State viii

beyond all contingency"
Another says: 'You will be perfectly safe ir
putting down New York as Wing, from $4,000 tt
10000 majority Our friends are in fine spirits
and are thoroughly united. They cannot be divi

The following is from the Republican of the
same date:

PRESIDENTIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION Communicated,
0-PFAITH OF Loco Foco.-A few days before
the August election, Mr.. James Z. Bouli1n, one
Of the members elect from this county lad the har
dihood to bet an honest farmer that he could not
produce man who would bet one thousand dollars
in money or property on the election of Gen Har-
rison. The farmer aforesaid gave the Captain the
name of one of our citizens, but he declined en-
the ground that the property offered was neither
land nor money, pledging himself to stand up to the
rack if either of the articles could be forthcoming
The farmer expostulated on the improperly and
absurdl,y of requiring him to bring man to the
residence Of tine Captain, in remote part of the
county, but nothing else would do, and upon the
pledge of our representative that he would not
back out the farmer went to the trouble Of inducing
one of our citizens TO ride some ten miles-when,
10 our gallant Captain was suddenly attacked
with disease called BACKING OUT, and willing
ness to surrender the five dollars in controversy
Would it no. have been as well, and equally as
gallant for representative to have put the far
mer to less trouble, or, finally, to have stood up tc
his fodder

LIVES LOST

LIVES LISl.
The steam boats Glaucus and Fayette left this
port Saturday afternoon on their re- pectve voyages
to Quincy and the Illinois river. They reached the
mouth of the Missouri about o'clock at night.
The Fayette wns then astern Of the Glaucus about
fifty yards. Just at point of the river, the Glau
Gus met the steam boat Pike, descending from Ga
lena. They passed each other in safety, and the
Pike, not discovering the Fayette, continued on her
direct course. The pilot Of the Fayette now, for
the first time, saw the descending boat, under full
Roadway, coming down upon them. He rung the
engine bell, and the engineer had changed the op-
Grafton of the machinery so as to back the boat.
But it was too late to avoid collision. The Pike
was struck forward of the wheel-house, and being
a small boat, with 500 pigs Of lead on board. she
went down almost Immediately. She was full of
passengers. in the cabin and on deck having AIKEN
from the Agnes, aground above, but which got of
and reached here early on Saturday, q large num-
Der Of passengers. A scene Of indescribube an
gush and dismay presented itself. Many were
thrown overheard, who were afterwards saved BY
the Fayetie The cabin parted from the hull anC
it was towed ashore and made fast. Several per.
sons were taken from the hull, lying in eli ght fee
water, VINO were found clinging to staunchions, &c
One man was taken up so nearly exhausted. after
Icing an hour in the water, clinging to piece Of
the wreck, as to be hardly able to speak
At such time, it is difficult to say how many
lives we're lost. Two fremen, two hidren, anC
a man and woman, are known to have persisted per
haps one or two others. The bodies were no
found The Fayette returned to this port yesterday
with the passengers and crew Of the Pike.
| The Pike was not insured. She was small low
water boat. We have not learned to whom the
cargo belonged.

anticipated as the labor Of a "mountain" and the
production Of "mouse." For this we have two
reasons: One Of them is, that we find the public
scrutiny and thcpublic judgment has already dntici
pdted the view we had ourselves taken, and pro-
nounced the verdict suggested by the argument as
dcduced from the premises. Another is, that we
shall probably have need for all the space we can
devote editorially, in paying our respects to such
branches of the "afiar" as continue to receive elu
ctdation through the columns of the Democrat
The public will bear US witness that it is not our
fualt, it, in reluctantly coming to the defence of
the right we carry the war into Africa. We de-
sired that the matter might end with and between
the original and proper parties themselres-but
since our motives have not only been unreciproca-
ted, but construed into tameness--and since our
silence, so far from being commended and copied
after, has been made the basis of reiterated and
multiform aspersions Of our friend--we propose
to who will first object to the "pace," cho-
sen by our adversares, for the settlement of an
"affair" which they have declined to adjust beyond
the precincts of their own dunghl.
