The admirers OF the manly art Of a,ticuffs
meet with % many little annoying drawbacks
in carrying out their arrangements for pummel-
ing mills that one would think they would give
MP their peculiar diversion In disgust. The
prize ring. which was once pstrsnized by gen
tlemen, that was long since, In 'the good old
times has been abjured by almost every de-
cent sporting man, on account OF the trickery
and fraud practised in almost every pugilistic
contest, and because of the crowds of thieves
and pickpockets invariably o. hand on such
occasions. As 10 usually the case, bad faith Is
charged in the conduct of the late Allen Hogan
Excursion" The captain of the steamer as
serts that the wind blew him ashore at East St.
Louis, where the "e1cursiOnists" fell an easy
prey to the police, but the Allen men denoance
the proceeding as q "put-up job in the inter-
est Of Hogan Unfortunately the principals
were not on the boat at the time of the seizure,
aud consequently it is possible that the bruising
match may yet take place.

The popular vote cast in the late Ohio cleo
ton for Governor was thus divided: For Allen,
democrat. 2H603, Noyes, republican, 2l3,sH;
Collins, liberal, 3,99l; Stewart, temperance,
1O,OiO whole vote cast, AS ,4Si; Allan over
Noyes, 75;. The vote of Ohio for Secretary of
State last year was: For Wilson, republican,
265, $50; Wiley, democrat, 251,T3O; republican
majority, 1880. Decrease in republican vote
this year, 52,OS3; decrease in democratic vote,
81 III; late October vote short of last years,
$3.50. These figures show the insgnificance of
the literal party, and the New York Herald
pointedly remarks that the election going by
default upon vote less than . full vote by
nearly ninety thousand, signifies nothing as in
dicating the strength OF either Of the two great
parties in the state.

Almost everything is coming down in price
except coal. The weekly statement oc
the trade, published in yesterdays STAR,
shows that prices are about as before, and this,
too, in the face Of steady additions to supplies,
with not very active demand. The New York
Erpress, therefore, has grounds for its opinion
that, strong as the monopoly is, coal, ss well as
other things, will have to come to "hard pan"
