suit; Potter (Dem.), Lieutenant. Governor,
1881 majority; Mackln (Dem.), Treasurer,
1902 majority; Horatio Seymour, Jr. (Deml,
(Rep), Secretary of State, 678 majority;
Ward (Rep), Attorney General, 2,645 maiorl-
ty, and Wadsworth (Rep., Controller, 3,O95
majority, The San adds that 1t has been Inn
possible to get the exact figures from several
counties, and from the clOseness of some OF
the results 1t is plain that the official canvass
alone can determine who are elected.

His s'RecOmn

Some time since a Detroit d1o,.
was in want of clerk, and he sF.
tised the fact. Among the num6fN
applicants who sent in recommend
tions was a young man who had shor
ly before received letter from the o4d
man Blank, to the effect that any FUR
ther visits to his house on the part Of
the young man could not be permitted,
and that g Mary's" future husband was
already selected. In his haste and ex-.
citement he forwarded this note in
place of a recommendation from mer-
camille house, and on discovering his
mistake, he called upon the merchant
to secure the missive.
"Ahp said the merchant, as the
young man entered, "you can begin
here tomorrow. l was about to write
you"
"That-that letter. began the
young man, but the merchant inter-
rupted:
''Best recommend in the world. Old
Blank and l have been enemies for
forty-six years. Any one he is down
on l always employ, in order to aggra-
vate him. Come right along. I'll
give you a position in the front of the
store, where the old curmudgeon must
see you every time he passes, and if you
want to make up faces at him I'll pay
all costsr'
Thus are we able to furnish another
illustration that sunshine may come out
of the depths of despair. Free Press.

Virginia is dIsoraced.
Is it so? Can it be possible that Old Viz.

ing OF her former vassals? Has the old
State been given up, indeed, to ignorance,
vice, and dishonol? Here, among honor.

cast their votes for Jack Everett rather
than for the so-callcd redoubtable General
Malone.
The people of Kentucky are greatly sur.
prsed at the result in my dear old State,
and to-day drop a tributary tear upon her
sad disaster.
Virginia now must look to her Governor.
He will, as far as is in his power, maintain
her honor, and the people will Sustain him:
