The Oregon Vote.
Committee

The constitution of the United States
forbids the election of federal officer as
elector-he can't be elected if every mar
in the state votes for him; ballots cast for
him are no votes; they can't be counted
because the constitution of the United
States makes them null and void. The
governor of Oregon certified the election Of
the three eligible men having the highes
number of votes. In that he is, undoubt
eddy, correct, and the men elected hav,
cast their votes as provided by Law. Tha
settles the election for Tlden on the fac,

diplomacy and fine conversational powers
of this handsome adventurer. At one
point Smith of Wisconsin had him fairly
cornered by suddenly asking: How do

Warmoth gave his moustache a sudden

This morning Policeman Brennan arrested
Mrs. Hill, and last night Deputy Marshal
Miller arrested Exner, but he was released
by order ofthe magistrate on his promising
to appear at the trial. At 8 o'clock the
defendants were promptly on hand but
Mrs. Purdy didn't put in an appearance,
and they were discharged.
1t appears that Mrs. Purdy had been
stopping with Mrs. Hill, and that they
frequently got into quarrels which would
END in 6ght-in which Mrs. Hill would
always come cut second best. In retaliation
Mrs. Hill, about week ego, called bel
friend Menas TO her assistance and the
two proved to much for Nellie's muscle

beating that she was confined to her bee
