rhe cronln fraud.

The Memphis Appcnt icaulng
southern democratic paper says OF the
Cronin effort to steal an electoral vote
in Oregon, that, "thc democrats
"would scorn to elect Tildcn by the
"onc vote Of Oregon, state which
"unq qucstionably voted for Hayes
and that, "It would be q monstrous
"outragc if, by fraud, or q mistaken
"idea Of duty, Oregon should be made
ITO cast one vote against Hayes in de-
"fiiance Of majority Of the people
"of the state"
The Philadelphia Times, McClure's
paper, also an exceedingly jealous
and able Tilden paper, says: "Gov.
/" Growers statement in vindication of
/" his refusal to commission the incl
igible Hayes Elcctor is plausible
g special pleading, but smacks too

(" fair minded people Of this country.

Gov. Hayes was serenaded at DAY.
ton, Ohio, on Wednesday evening"
A salute of lS5 guns was fired, and q
|concourse of 10000 people met him
with music and fireworks. The
greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The
Governor responded as follows:
My friends, l will not detain you
more than four or five minutes.

tiful city of Dayton, not on any po-
litical mission, or to talk ON any of
the political questions Of the remark

understand these greetings here to-
night are not so much in honor of
myself as on account of the peculiar
interest that is felt in the present con-
dltion Ofthe country.
In the excitement that has prevail
ed before and since the election, peo-
pie Of ardent temperament have said
and done things that are indiscreet,
put as the excitement subsidies we be-
glnto return to our better wisdom
and judgment.
Ihave too much faith in the saving
common sense OF the American pee
pie, to think they desire to see In their
country Mexicanized government.
Whatever may be the result ut which
the lawful authorities arrive, you and
| will quietly submit, and have suf-
ficient confidence and respect in the
great majority of the opposite party
to believe they will do the same.
l was glad to see in the paper this
evening an article from the London
Times respecting the condition Of this
country. Such state of affairs, it
said, could not exist anywhere else in
the world. The entire area of the
country was agitated by the uncertain
issue Of the political conflict, yet not
one shot was fired, not one man kill
ed, nor breach of peace.
We have seen this centennial year
the wonders of our growth displayed
in the exhibition of agricultural and
mechanical arts, and we are now af-
fordcd an opportunity of giving the
world an example of the value Of re-
publican government.
In speaking to you this evening, I
have referred without previous
thoughts to what must have occurred
70 every one of us standing here, and
take my leave of you with the most
sincere acknowledgements of this ex-
preston OF your friendship and good
will.

From tho Indiananolis Journal


twill be remembered that Senator
Wright, of Iowa, in his Academy of
Music speech, made here during the
canvass, predicted that the republi-
can majority in his State would be
10000. We would hardly have bet
on thousand less than this figure at
the time, but the returns now show
that VIC would have won. 1t was ccr-
tainly very close guessing in the Sem
ator. Hayes plurality is 59,22S. The
Peter Cooper vote was 9,O01, and the
republican majority over both so, ,2O7.
Tho aggregate vote was 292, ,453,an i'm
crease of over 1900 in the aggregate
vote since 1875. Hayes has a clear ma
jority in 81 counties and a plurality in
others. Tilden carried only 6 coun-
ties, and two of them by bare plu-
rality. The vote in the State stands
Hayes, lS2, ,327; Tilden, IL, ,O99 Coop
err, 9,OOl. The majority for Hayes in
Iowa is more than the combined ma
jority for Tilden in all the Northern
States carried by him. Our demo-
cratic friends would do well to think
of this when they are gassing about
the popular majority. The republi-
cans elected every Congressman and
every Circuit Judge in the State.

Last May, q girl by the name of
Jennie Logan was working at hotel
in Des Moines, where were kept q
great many male boarders, majori-
ty of whom were employed upon the
Capitol building. Among the board
ers was one Gus Cudmore, who il
seems had become enamored of the
girl above named, but to show his
love he took rather strange way.
He had been waiting on her for some
time, and apparently was looked up
on with favor, but ''the course of true
love never did run smooth" and one
fine day the lovely Jennette did not
smile upon the attentions of her fond
lover. Thinking upon the coldness of
human nature, Gus made up his mind
that he would rather die with Jen-
nette than to live without her; so
arming himself with a young cannon
he proceeded to the room Of his be-
loved, he dragged her to his arms
and kissed her twice, and shot her
twice in token Of fond affection, and
then to finish the chapter placed the
pistol to his own head and fired but
alas for human calculation. both at
tempts failed, and the gay and fes-
tive lover meandered to his lonely
cell in the Polk county Jail, and has
stayed there ever since, not caring to
be released. He was in the Jail when
nine other prisoners escaped last sum-
mcr, and refused to 60 with them.
The trial is in progress in the court
now i'll session there, and will proba-
blA end in the acquittal of Cudmore.
lie appears in the court room much as
man would sitting through long,
dull sermon, as if he cared nothing at
all about it; while on the other hand,
the object of his mad love burst into
tears at sight of him, and has evident-
ly not lost all her affection for him.
1t will probably be some time before
the case is decided, and it is attract
ing considerable attention there.
During the late cold weather a me-
gro woman in Des Moines gave birth
to twins, in cold house and none of
the neighbors knew of the confine-
ment. Not being able to communi-
cate with any one, and having no fire
or attendance, both the babes froze to
death, and the mother was nearly
dead when the neighbors discovered
the condition of the sufferer and re-
moved her TO warm house and good
care, but it is feared 1t will do no
good.

Diphtheria is doing sorrowful hav-
oc In Iowa. In Davenport several
hundred cases have been reported,
and large number of deaths. Many
families have lost two, three and four
children. One physician during last
Monday night had four calls to at-
tend children dying with this disease.
In other parts of the State it seems to
prevail to a still greater extent. One
family in Washington county lost six
children within two weeks, and have
not child left. In Tama county, a
Mr.. Donaldson lost six children out
OF seven. They all died in one week.
AZ one time they had three corpses in
the house, and at another time two.
The physicians seem unable to CON-
bat the disease successfully, as its
progress is rapid and deadly.
