The attendance at the Cestenn!al Exposition

The attendance at the Centennial Elk
position tor the one hundred and thirty
SIX exhibition days, ending and inelud-
ing October Ii, aggregates :,7I2,4io
paving visitors, and 1862 500 nonpay-
ing ones, showing grand total Of ,OoS,-
or people who have entered the
grounds. The Philadelphia Ledger,
whence we take the above figures, makes
a number OF suggestive comparisons be-
tween them and those representing the
attendance at prior worlds fairs. ltap-
pears that the pay admissions TO the
Centennial for the 1856 days exceed the
whole mum Der of pay admissions at the
Vienna shows OF 1873 for lS6 days by
1929, 1876, and the proportion of non
paying TO paying visitors is far less.
At the London Exhibition of 1851, s.
$50, 1913 persons, paying and nan-paying,
attended in III days. Oar Exposition
already exceeds this by more than n
million. At Paris, in 1855, the aggre-
gate admissions were 5,l62,330 in 200
days and in London, IN 1862, the num-
bers admitted were 6,2ll, 1903 in III
days-both of which aggregates we
largely exceed. At the 1867 Exposi-
ton in Paris, $685. 900 people entered
IN 2l7 days. Judging from the present
ratio Of attendance, there is every prob
ability that million and three quarters
will be added to the aggregate OF pay
ing visitors TO the Centennial above
noeed, and quarter of a million TO the
others, thus making over nine millions
IN all for l5S days, Sundays excluded,
against the $685. 69 for Paris in 2I7
days, Sundays included.
In its pecuniary results, tho Centen-
nial largely exceeds those of any exhi
bition yet held. The greatest return
was at London, inlS5l, namely, 81, l2l,-
Clio; the next at Paris, in 1867, wien il
was 81, l03,677. The cash receipts for
gate money during the 1876 days OF the
were 81 $50 .603.75.

THE HERALD VAR on JUDGE PRESCOTT.

Tho terrible war the Herald has made
on Judge Prescott seems TO have done
little to injurc the latter's chances for re
election. He is gaining firm friends ev
cry day, ust for the reason that such q
bitter newspaper persecution has been
instigatcd. Every one knows that the
editor of the Herald is more actuated
by spite in his writings than by any
desire to unearth dishonest transactions.
Only few weeks ago the editor of the
Herald was on the Dragged edge" not
knowing whether it was policy for him
to support or oppose Prescott, and al a
time, too, when he knew as much about
the Abram Cutler-bond- business as be
does now. Prescott was honest enough
for him then, provided Prescott would
support Hanna. What a terrible regard
Hanna has tor an honest judiciary
He has certainly shown his ears in this
matter, and proved himself not an hon
ess, straightforward newspaper man, but
a selfish, unprincipled politician.
As we have stated above, people
knowing the motives which have die
tatcd this newspaper war, look with
little favor on the Herald extra which,
thicker than autumnal leaves, have
been spread broad cast over the country
on the eve of the election. The reac-
ton has set in and Prescott is gaining
votes every day. Nearly every body
with whom we converse seems 10 be
well satisfied with ,he Judges expiana.
ton given and proof adduced concern
ing his alleged demand OF bonds from
Cu,ler-althoagh, according to the Her
aid, this was to have eternally swamped
Prescott.
Judge Prescott's previous high stand
ing in this community for honesty and
fair dealing shield him effectualIy from
the little darts which the Herald is con-
tinually Singing. And we believe that
the mass OF people are very willing to
take Judge Prescott's statement of his
ioings as administrator in the Schuster
estate as true-svery word of it. Ii
was an unsettled estate everything con-
1ected with it had been made matter

The signs of the times in New York
arc very encouraging to Republicans.
Tammany Hall Democrats have nomi-
mated full county ticket, and are ably
supported by the World, in opposition
TO the Tilden wing of the party. The
Sun apologetlcally opposes the Tam
many ticket, and shows its fears that
the Tilden wing are beaten. This d.
vision in the home of Democracy indl-
Gates that the house is to fall. The Re-
publicans are working together harmo-
niously and are proving their strength
to be equal to all they claimed.
A dispatch from Belgrade, says that

On Tuesday evening, Oct. 9th a
meeting was held in Leavenw orth, got
ten up by D.R.Anthony, presided over by
ID. e. Anthony, and addressed By ID. r.
Anthony. Resolutions were read by DIR.
Anthony, and passed by d. Il. Anthony
censuring Geo. I. Anthony, and ap-
pointing ID. r. Anthony a committee to
"preparc an address to the Republican
voters of Kansas" This address has
been circulated as supplements to the
Kansas City Times, Leavenworth Times
and Topeka Blade. The charges con-
tanned therein are thinner than ID. r.
Anthony's nose, and the effect they have
upon those who were opposed to Geo.
T. Anthony is TO change them TO his IA
vor. These charges made for election
eering purposes, this year, falr badly, as
do those who make them.
There was much in the result of the
Ohio and Indian elections for Democrats
to ponder over until after next Tues,
day. Take Indiana, for instance. While
the Governor remains Democratic, end
was elected by less than one half the ma
jority given the Democratic Governor
elected two years ago, the Legislature
IS Republican on joint ballot, thereby
securing the election Of a Republican U.
s. Senator, and the Congressional rep
sentation is increased TO niDo out OF
thirteen, and two of the leading Demo.
cratic Congressman foorcd. Notwith-
standing this showing, we hear Of Dom
ocratic "glorifcation over the Indiana
election" Again in Ohio, although the
vote of the State was small in compari-
son to last year, the Republican State
ticket was elected by an increased major
ity, tho number of Republican Congress
mon increased by six members, and the
is Republican by a good ma
iority. Should other states do ga well
on Tuesday next, both branches of Con-
gress will be largely Republican, and
Gen. Hayes be elected by large ma
iority.

The Palace Hotel in North Topeka,
in which were the Office of the Kansas
Pacific Railroad, was burned at about
eight o'clock Monday night. 1t had
been shut up as a hotel for some months,
the furniture being stored in the second
story. An eating house was kept on
the first floor. The fire originated in
the attic, and it is believed 20 be the
work of an incendiary.
The charges against Gov. Hayes
which have been circulated during the
campaign have fallen still born. His
conduct as a man and as a public officer
satisfied all that he would not be guilty
of theft or perjury. The charges oirf reg
ularity against Geo. L. Anthony are
looked upon with suspicion and dis
credit. His conduct as citizen and
public officer satisfies the people that he I
is honest and Will not stoop TO fraud. 1
The charges against } Judge Prescott have
taken the same course as those mention
