The day of using nicknames will new

names should be strangled in the cradle.
The rising generation will blush for the
sentimental Stiffness of their parents,
who bestowed these names upon them.
A writer says: Girls, instead of being
baptized with such sensible, old-fash-

HOW STANDS THE ACCOUNT?


Many of the Democratic speakers and presses
assume to regard the elections OF the present year
as an index of the result in the coming Presiden-
tial contest, and are prospectivey arranging to
divide the "sposn before stopping to balance
the books Looking over the returns OF the pres
ent year we find the general elections, where par
ty lines were drawn, have been held in twenty
three States, not counting the ten States which as
yet have not accepted the Reconstruction Act of
Congress 1t is found that these States holding
elections, have gone as follows ON their popular
vote, to which Is appended the number of electo-
raj votes each will east for the next Presdent:--
Republican. illinois, l6 Indiana, IS; Iowa,
$; Kansas 81; Maine Z Massachusetts,, II ;
Michigan, 8 Minnesota, 4 Nebraska, 3; New
Hampshire, 5 Ohio, n Rhode Island, A Ten
nessee, 10; Vermont, D.; Wisconsin, 8. Total,
l6 States with 1872 electoral votes.
Democratic. - California, . Connecticut, I;
Kentucky, IL; Maryland, z; New York, 50 (;
Pennsylvania, 26. Total, States with % electo-
raj votes.
In the foregoing States the Republicans have 81
electoral votes more than the Democrats, while a
change Of less than 1900 in the popular vote Of
each of the states OF Connecticut aud Pennsylya-
MIA would add their }2 electoral votes to the Re
publican column, making l6i, u clear majority
OF the whole number. In 1866, Missouri having
votes, Nevada 3, ard Oregon 3, sure Republic
can maorities, aud Deeware, with 3 votes was
Democratic. Assuming that no one OF the states
named changed, the Republicans will have lA0
votes, and the Democrats 9S, giving the former a
majority OF 81

column, leaving Arkansas with votes, Florida

Secretary Stanton, when in Pttsburg last week

Grant, and gave such Endorsement of him as only
those having had his opportunities for judging can
give.
It is no wonder that Deleware is Copperhead
State, the so-styled Democracy being really the
narrowed kind Of aristocracy. The Wilmington
Commercial says; The Legislature Of this State,
comprised Of an equal number Of members from
each county, regardless Of population, was thus
apportioned in 1902 Having undergone no
change sinsc then the situation has become such
that in the Senate a majority Of the members are
chosen by one-third Of the adult male population,
and in the House by less than one-third.
The Republican vote in New Jersey shows a
failing Of over - 900. while s.A Democracy gain
but 5000, thus proving that the result was owing
to Republicans staying away from the polls
The majority against female suffrage in Kansas
is 5i55 out of total vote Of 1871 The major
iiy against negro suffrage is 1868. The majority
for disfranchisement Of disloyal persons is 654.
The Legislature is largely Republican.
