The faces of the republicans were radi-
ant with delight yesterday morning over
the good news from the California elect
ion. The opposition, on the contrary,
wore very sad and disconsolate look, as
though they snufled death in the air The
attempt Of the Standard to appear cheer
full over the election of Kalloch was fee
BILE and sickly effort, which only increased
the satisfaction of the republicans and add
ed to the gloom that settled down over the
democrats.

NOMINATIONS,
REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.
FOR GOVERNOR.
DANIEL T. DAVIS
or coRINTH.
Keep to the Work.

There remain but a few hours to the
decisive vote in the campaign. The bat
tie on the part of the republicans has been
splendidly fought thu, tar. Six weeks
ago the fusionists felt that they were com
pletely masters of the situation. They
were arrogant and boastftl. They rldl-
culed the idea that they stood in the least
danger of defeat. They claimed and
doubtless believed that the combined vote
of Smith and Garcelon would show n
larger majority over the republican can
didate than they had last year, and that
they would have large majority in both
House and Senate.
But great change has come over them
since the campaign opened in earnest.
Their ranks are broken. There is not
county in the State in which they stand
united, compact, well arrayed organiza-
ton. The number of deserters who have
left them-democrats who have abandoned
their party TO vote for Davis and republic
can greenbackers who have returned to
the republican fold-amount to several
thousands. distributed all over the State.
Their principles were cast away at their
State conventions. Greenbackers look III
vain in their State platform for the
principles which they supposed to underlie
their organization; democrats likewise
find their principles traded ont in the plat
form. Principles went by the board when
the platforms were formed and truck-and-
dicker was installed instead as the guiding
star of fusion.
The consequence is that the truck-and-
dicker party has been going down down..
down!!! steadily since the cam
paign fairly began. Some of the
greenback papers resented the fusion ar
rangement. Then prominent members
halted and dropped out of the organza-
ton, unwilling to be bought and sold like
cattle in the market. Soon began a gen
eral desertion of the rank and file. What
are left are quarrelling among themselves
about the distribution of Offices. There is
hardly a nomination for representative in
the legislature which is not accompanied
by bitterness of feeling on the part of one
faction or the other about having been
cheated in the truck -and-dicker business.
OF course shameless cheating has taken
place. What else could be expected of n
party founded on cheat and delusiono
Next Monday the truck-and-dickcr party
will be ANONYMOUSLY beaten. The lead
ers already realize their condition.
They have lost their courage. Hope has
nearly abandoned them. They have
dropped the insolent and arrogant tone of
few weeks ago, and even admit many of
them that their case is hopeless
But we urge our republican friends still
to keep to the work. Fail not to secure
every vote possible, by all Legitimate
means, for the republican ticket. Roll up
the majority for Corporal Davis high
among the thousands. Let the shout of
victory which has reached us from our
brethren on the Pacific coast be excelled
by the shout of triumph which will go up
from the republicans of our good State,
next Monday night, when the returns of
the election are announced

Large Powder Blasts.

Some time since blast of 12,000 pounds of powder was exploded in the quarry of the Glendon Iron Company, near Easton, Pa., displacing 1000 tons of rock. The discharge was described in some of the newspapers as probably the heaviest charge not sub-aqueous ever fired in the country. To this Califor- nia mining journal takes exception, and says that much larger charges are fre- quently exploded in the gravel mines of that State. Very recently the Reservoir Ditch Company put off in their mine, at Sucker Flat, Yuba county, blast of 50,O00 pounds of Judson powder, very powerful explosive, and by which be- tween 100000 and 3OO,OOO cubic yards of gravel, some of it indurated into a hard cement, were so shattered that the most of it can be piped off under the heavy head of waters there used. Oc- casionally even greater amount of pow der than this is exploded by the larger hydraulic mining companies, who find il economical to employ such heavy charges as doing more proportionate execution than small ones.

Eccentricities of a shopkeeper.

We have recently heard, says the Boston Herald, of a character in New Hampshire town whose personality smacks of individuality and independ- ence so strongly that we wonder of what original spring he has had a monopoly to the exclusion of his more ordinary neighbors. This man keeps "general store." He has kept this same store for twenty years, and one would almost say the same stock, judging from its thoroughly mixed-up condition and the literal accumulation of dust. He hires no attendant, but does all the work of buying and selling himself. Of course he cannot always be in the store he must sometimes eat, like other people. When he has occasion to go away, he goes and locks up the store. He locks up the store when he is ill he locks it up when he comes to Boston to buy goods. In spite of this irregular proceeding he has acquired money, and not little of 1t, too. But the really queer thing about the man and his store remains to be told. In one corner, more dusty than anything else in the place, stand two demijohns. There they have stood since the first year this man began business. They were brought by an old countryman to be filled with molasses and vinegar. As he took one in each hand to carry them to his cart at the door, he said he would settle for them the next week when he came down. But the storekeeper had better plan, and suggested mildly that the jugs better be left, too, till the next week, when their contents could be paid for. "All right" responded the countryman, and he set the jugs down and went away. And there these vessels have stood ever since, and have never been emptied.

Nearest the Heart.

The Tirnova election has it's parallel in that which raised Marshal Bernadotte to the throne of Sweden in 1911, despite the covert opposition of Napoleon, who foresaw clearly enough the danger that threatened him from the elevation of 8 man who had so often smarted under his unsparing rebukes. One of the devices employed to turn the scale on that occa- sion is we'll worth chronicling. The Queen-mother, few days before the election, sent coat of fine broadcloth to the principal leader of the popular par ty, with an autograph letter from her. self, requesting him to appear in it on the day of the ceremonial, in compi- ment to her. The representative in question being proverbial for his cour- tesy, she calculated that he would be too polite to refuse, and that his aceptance would lose him the regard of his brother Radicals. But the intended victim was equal to the emergency. On the morn ing of the election he appeared in his usual simple dress, to the Queens great chagrin; {; but when she upbraided him with his want of courtesy, he re- piled by throwing open his coat and dis playing an inner lining made from the broadcloth which she had sent him, say ing at the same time, with low bow, "That which we most value, Madame, we do not place outside, but next our heart"

A Good Lawn.

Samuel Parsons, Jr., in Scribner for June, says: No greater fallaey yexists than the idea that spading is better than blowing of an equal depth. No tllth eau be better than that given by the blow, followed by frequent and con- tiuual applications of the harrow. Lev cling with the spade can then be exe- cuted in the most perfect manner, and the finishing toach can be given by 2 light cross-plowlng and narrowing. Seed should be always hberally applied and, instead of the various lawn-grass mix lures, we believe in the use of simple red-top seed, together with very ittleR white clover; and when it is thus ap- piled Iduring qniet bours of the day that it may fall evenly), two or three years should suffice to grow e thick. velvety turf. Weeds are the grestt enemies of good turf, and every lawn should be kept as free from these pests as hower-garden. The employment of good artificial fertilizers greatly helps to secure permanent freedom from weeds. 7 since foul seeds cannot very we'll Turk in them.

The Poetry of Iron.

There is a wonderful fascination about iron work and iron workers. Novelists have made them the scenes and heroes of their stories poets have made them the themes of deathless song. We sing of the forge of Tubal Gain, and Hector swore s'by the forge that stithied Mars's helm," but the other trades are passed over.
 When did poet, in lofty numbers, sing the carpenter lathing back room on the second floor?
 Who chants the brawny arms and the thrilling deeds of man climbing four story ladder with bod of mortar?
 Does anybody stand with rapt emotion watching painter putty up nail hole

Why, these iron works surround the Ashlanders with enough romance to last Western community at least six weeks. And yet, suppose there are people about here WAO AOfCL onW O AoAA AA1O7 III OAOA A1FOSs I have known times, in my own eminently useful and highly ornamental career, times when I was trying to nail front gate to'a leather hinge, when I wished there had never been nail made anywhere by anybody. And watched them as they fell from the ponderous machines, fast as rain drops, and it seemed to me, as I watched them fall, that I could hear the dull, treacherous thud of the hammer on the human thumb, the low vail of a woman's anguish, !" the big, big D " of a strong man in his agony. These strange weird feelings and fancies rushed into my mind like 0 torrent. I stopped and picked up bran new nail, as memento of my visit.
 Then I laid 1t down again. Sadly, but not slowly. have an impression, I know not where I got it, that new laid nail, like new laid egg, is warm. And that it is far more perceptible in the case of the nail. It may not be so in every instance. I presume there may be some nails laid cold. But the one picked up was not so everlastingly gee whizzing cold, and I did not investigate any farther. HNepkeve.
