HAD DONE ENoUGH.-In the early
times the candidates for office, the same
as at present, sought every means in
their power to place themselves in a IA
vorable position before their constitu-
ents. A good story is told of Revoi-
utionary soldier who was running for
Congress. His opponent was young
man who had ''never been to wars :" and
it was the custom of the old soldier to
tell of the hardships he had endured.
Said he:
"Fellow-citizens, have fought and
bled for my county. have helped to
whip the British and the Indians. |
have slept ON the field of battle with no
other covering than the canopy of heav-
en-. / have walked over the frozen
ground till every footstep was marked
with blood
just about this time one of the 'sov-
ereigns," who had become greatly inter-
ested in his tale of sufferings, walked up
in front of the speaker, wiped the tears
from his eyes with the extremity of his
coat-tail and interruptiDg him with

The aggregate vote it is estimated will
considerably exceed 10000, which is
higher than for many years, and adds
additional emphasis to the verdict.

A Grand Republican Victory

The election in this tate on Tuesday
resulted in largely increased republi-
can majority over the election of 1874
and probably also over the last presi-
Dental of 1872.
One hundred and twelve towns give
Fairbanks, 2S,5S5, Bingham 1885.
The same towns in 1874 gave Peck 90
257, Bingham 1901. Republican ma
jority in 1876, 1920, Republican
gain on 1874 of 2,444. The West dis
trict, forty-nine towns, give Joyce (Rep }
9,777, Childs Dem 4,421. The Sec
ond district, thirty-four towns, gives
Denison (Rep.) S,l04 Dickey Dem
3,204. In the Third district 80 towns
give Hendee (Rep,) 5,S41, Edwards
Dem. 2,679.
AS returns from less than one-half
the towns in the State give Fairbanks
$4,000 majority, it is estimated that the
majority in the State will
reach $4,000 to 100000 The Legisla-
ture is of course almost unanimously re-
publican. Returns for representatives

New York.

The New York State democratic con-
vention last week nominated Horatio
Seymour for governor and though he de-
clined, they attempted to force it upon
him and adjourned. He still declines
and the convention has been called to-
gether again for Sept. 18th. Speaking
of this nomination to n. Y. Tribune
says:
Circumstances may occur between
this time and the day of election to
change the present outlook entirely.
The democrats may do something wise
which, by the way, is not probable-or
the republicans may be guilty Of some
stupendous folly, or be made ,esponsible
for some fatal blunder of the admins
tration, which is not by any means I'M
likely. But should no such change oc-
cur, the proceedings of the democratic
convention at Saratoga have definitely
settled the result of the November cleo
ton in this state and in the nation. Mr.
Tilden is already defeated for the Presi-
dency, and the democratic ticket in New
York, whether it remains as the Sarato-
60 convention made it, or is changed by
the state committee or by new conven-
ton, in consequence of Mr.. Seymour's
persistence in declining, is as good as
beaten before the canvass has fairly
opened"

fire have occurred, there being conclu-
sive proof in each case that the fire Or
iginated from matches in the hands of
children:
August 5th-Two houses and two
barns burned at West Burke; loss, three
thousand dollars with boy, then three
years old, burned up in the buildings.

set by little girl-loss not known, but

August 13th-Four stores and goods
burned at Newbury loss, sixteen thou
sand dollars.
August 14th-Barn burned at Wey-
bridge loss not known
These instances, with doubtless numer-
GUS others, where the origin of the fire is
still involved in mystery, speak volumes
in favor of the adoption of some method
whereby matches shall be more effectu-
ally kept beyond the reach of children,
and also children taught to use them

allowed their little boy, not quite three
years old, to leave their side for mo-

was not in precisely perpendicular d.

thrown inward by the slope of the rail,
so that he landed near the foot of the
