VOTE FOR GOVERNOR.

The Statesman has collected the vote for
Governor from all the counties except Au-
glaise, Scioto and Henry, and its footing is
as follows.
Medill, l44,925
Barrere, i.. 64,370
Lewis, 5O,l50
Medilps majority over Barrere is 6o,555,
and over Barrere and Lewis 1896.
To show what an awful falling on there
has been, we append the vote given in this
State last fall for President. Pierce, l69,.
220; Scott, 1871 ,526; Hale, sl,6s2. 1t will
thus be seen that Medill's vote falls short OF
Scott's vote by 24.295. The total Aote las,
year was 35s,4as. This year It is only 279,.
454, being falling off of 1894.
Itis we'll understood that twenty or thirty
thousand Wings voted for Lewis on the tenn.
perance question. This fully explains the in
crease in his vote.-O. s Journal.

Public Spirit.

A town is generally and favorably
known by the public spirit OF its citizens.
Where this is lacking, no advantages OF
nature and no Improvements OF ar, will
compensate for its absence. A commu.
nifty bound to gather only by individual
selfishness, is easily thrown into disorder
and disrepute. But community that
makes the general good one motive of ac-
ton, will be likely to enjoy order a, home
and reputation abroad. Especially is
public spiri, needed in the infancy Of So
ciety, when the foundations are to be laid
Al such time. every good enterprise
needs aid and countepance, ill some
measure of success shall attend il and
secure its accomplishment There is
not, therefore. any danger Of excess in
the m alter of public spirit. while enter
prising citizens consult the general good.

Fashions iaa New York.

The fashionable season in New York
says the New York Express, has COM
memced early this year. Receptions
are full-and large balls have called forth
magniiiceuce of toilette, never before c.
qualed in this new world:
ladies wear gold and silver broclcles
costing thousand dollars and more, a
dress Of rich silks trimmed with lace
flounces, from one to three thousand dol.
lars in value, One lady of high ton re
Gently appeared in a costume partly em
broidered with pearls--another wore a
dress whose lace flounces were wrought
with seed pearls, tor the same fete. Ar
other wore set of diamonds which cost
thirty thousand dollars, at grand party,
and even the young bellies are costumed
a la Pompadoar, instead of wearing
gauze or muzlin. thereby making them
selves old and and malronly in dress. al
least. and yielding to fashion, the simple.
iiy Of attire SO becoming to youth, and
which has heretofore marked the New
York girl out from others in strange cit
les. as being The best dressed OF all, from
her very absence of ornament.
Being in French modiste's the 9TH
er morning, we were amazed at her pri-
ces, by the way. for these airy ball dress
es. which in reality cost worry little, and
always becoming to the young. A youth
ful face was gazing at a skirt of pink ,ui
lie, which looped up here and there with
ribbons 20 suit, was quite tasteful affair.

"What is the price Of this dress. Mad

Nam 'selle. all complete-only sixty dol
lars, and very cheap at that. With flow
ers il would be eighty dollars; oh, Uera
cheap, Mam'selle; all the bes, material,
you see."
So money goes--and money is made.
Wealth has letely been accumulated SO
fast, ihat expense is'not minded. Venice
and Genoa in their palmy days will soon
be eut out by the merchant prices OF New
York.
