OREGON

+ Y y
The present reading Of the situation
makes the election of Mr.. Tilden certain By
the one vote gained BY the substitution Of a
Democratic far the disqualified Republican
elector. According to the laws of Oregon
and each State Is authorized 10 frame its
own laws regarding the manner of electing
Presidential electors--Mr. Cronin i as
fully entitled to his place as any indisputa-
bly, returned elector from Massachusetts or
Ohio. We would not be disposed to take
advantage fany merely technical flaw, to
stiae or misenlerpret to real voice Of the
people. True, the other side has given US
full occasion to give Rowland for an Oil,
YER. q Bat. as IN the case Of Vermont. full
fairness would suggest that he intent be
strictly followed out. Nevertheless We
would have the Democratic party make usc
Of this Oregon case, not 50 much as through
il alone. to perfect the election Of Mr. Til
den, as BY IL. to test principle. and estab-
lish Mr.. ifildens election through its ap.
plication to other States II the RepabH-
cans contest the right Of Mr.. Cronin. the
Oregon, Democratic elector. they must go
behind the great Seal Of Oregon. If they
can do this. the Democrats have the ley 10
the situation. They can 60 behind the
great seals Of Louisiana and Florida, and
the result will not be doubtful.
The Republicans may throw out Oregon,
but if they do, they will lose eleven e!ecto,

II the Dormouso had put the query to tho stock
the whole mob oil brokers would have chorusscd
an affirmative answer, and have cited the unvarying
stupidity OF each days market as proof oftne act
To-day was much Of amuchnesss with the days
that have preceded IT, and presented more charac
tcristic feature. thcre occurring the usual ebb and
flow In the tiae OF fuctuation. and an inordinate
amount Of slack water in the interval. The market,
opening with the effect Of yesterday evenings stimu-
lus still hanging about it, quickly staggered up
traction, but, in the OF good Samaritan
who has been sitting up with friend,
Il required successive "settng up which 1t did not
get, and consequently soon began to stagger down
again. Lake Shore, usual bore away the palm for
animation and volume Of dealings. and skipped about
In l,voy manner between tho limits OF 50 56js

On the upward turn advantage was taken OF the
prevailing strength to sell Of the shares
purchased yesterday underthe influence Of the poit
cal canard the market would take while the rest

appearance OF Twcnty.third street, with moderate
amount OF short stock having knocked away the un-

Michigan Central remained steady, In spite OF the
published comparative loss in earnings the fourth
week OF November OF $l3,55s while the ST. Paul and
Northwestern stocks were tho 'Two Orphans" OF the

enough to attract enemies.

Of few hundred shares collapsed from 71S to 6Sa.

There was nothing in the coal stocks to attract
attention beyond somo Insignificant sales the part

drop of Il cent in gold brought the price down

drawa of f1l5 900 from the Bank Of England to-day
for shipment to this country laid another upon
The camel's back and added to the heavy load already
