twenty times as much money as its OPP
ponents. He suggested that all the past
differences between the republicans and

branch extended 10 them" The sngges-

Woman Suffrage in Wyoming.

From the Rocky Mountain Newsl
A gentleman from Cheyenne, who has
devoted some time to gathering the details.
give us the following interesting facts on
the practical workings of woman suffrage
In the Territory
The first notable point is that there are
not women enough in the Territory TO make
any particular difference ia the state OF
government. though they were ever 80 ac-
tive and wise. The population Is estimated
AZ Is 600. OF which 1000 are under the aye
of twenty one. This leaves 10000 adnlts.
of whom 1900 are women eligible as voters,
This would leave 1850 male voters,
though, in point of fact, it is very rare tor
all to vote. so many being remote from the
polls. Ten men to one woman is. however.
the usual proportion.
The moral and social statistics are
worthy Of note. Cheyenne has thirty five
saloons and forty-five prostitutes-known
as such. Laramic has twenty-six saloons
and some twenty prostitutes. This in
cludes ''beer-jerkers" and variety girls OF
all grades. In Evanston there are supposed
to be eight saloons and twelve prostitutes
billiard. Rawlms. Sweetwater, Fort Lar
annie. and other places average about the
same in proportion to population, the sum
mary being that the whole Territory con-
tains at least 100 saloons and 300 prostl-
tutes. This does not seem to indicate that
woman suffrage has tended in any great de-
gree 10 abolish either of the social evils"
But the most interesting facts are in re-
gard to ladies as jurors. Good and evil are
strangely mingled in the new Territories.
and Wyoming contains large proportion
OF entelligent and eminently religious aud
good women; it was hoped. therefore. that
great good would result from placing them
on juries. After trials, however, the sys
tam was quietly abandoned, and has never
been revived. The reasons for this are
many. First Is the fact that so few women
are eligible. The following classes are.
from the necessity of the case, EXEMPT
All nursing mothers; all approaching a
condition Of maternity; all the delicate.
nervous or historical; all who from tenn
porary physical condtio are not fit for sit
ting on long trial; all Of VIGOROUSLY bad
character, and all who are exempt from the
same causes as men would be. These
classes include nine-tenths of the whole
sex. Wher to these are added tho Sc who
have sick or very young children, who need

Maine Election.
The ResulI In the state.

An Unexpectedly heavy vote was thrown
on Monday last, probably 10000 more
than last year. Unfortunately for the Re-
pubicans. their vote, although larger than
last year, was not increased in proper ton
to that of the Democrats, who are as much
surprised As the Republicans, at the figure
which they have reached.
From returns received from about two
hundred towns. the Indications now are
that the Republicans have elected their
Governor by 5000 majority.
TUE RESULT IN THE COUNTIES.
1t is probable that the Democrats have
carried five counties, viz: Cumberland,
Knox. Waldo, Washington and Aroostook,
giving them ten Senators to twenty-one
Republican. Hancock County is exceed
ingly close. The vote from towns already
heard from, leave the Republican ticket p
votes ahead. One town and four planta-
tons remain to be heard from. Should the
v"te be the same as last year, the Republi-
cans will elect their ticket by 90 maj. The
vote is 50 close, that perhaps the official
count will alone decide. Sheriff Devereux
is reelected. OF the Representatives ell
cctcd, the Republicans have elected for
ENStcorth, Jos. I. Grant.
Backsport, Ambrose White.
BbehU. Thomas " LORD.
Ct>tiRe, Chds. ". 7ilien.
The Democrats have elected for
Trenton. d C., Monroe Young.
Deor Isle. s. b. Haskell
fremont. d e, George heed.
The Gould>boro District and the Sedg
wick District. containing islands aud plan
tation not yet heard from. are so close
that i; is uncertain which Representatives
are elected.
The latest dispatches in our Geographic
columns. show returns more favorable to
the Republicans. One or more counties
reported Democratic, may prove to be
Republican.

therefore was given up, not as a failure ex-
