This is too true. He is 8 high Ole

to your home high in heaven, and PICK
his innocent little eyes out. You bald

the bird that should have been &C.

bird Of patience, forbearance, perseyer-

when any nation sticks spurs into our

We come down stiff legged in front, our

nal claims that there is good reason to
believe that part, at least, of the Repub-
lican ticket besides Cornell is elected.
Its latest figures give Hoskins major
ity of 455 over Potter. 1t also makes
Cornell's plurality 42,4s4.
New York, Nov. 6.-Beach, demo-
crat. is believed reelected secretary of
state, and Seymour, democratic state
engineer, is thought safe, IL any demo-
crat is below Potter. Wendell's ire

and claiui that he is elected treasurer.
Fears are entertained that until the
count there is to be Il repetition Of the
uncertainty Of the last national cleo
tion.
Washington, Nov. 6.-The general
results Of the New York state election
having been definitely ascertained to-
day, have given rise to much interest
Ing comment among experienced politi-
cal observers ut the national capitol,
which may be briefly summarized as
follows: In the FIRST place it is admit.
ted on all hands that New York must
henceforth be considered the decisive
battle ground for the presidential con-
test, but opinions differ widely as to the
right of one party or the other to prog
nosticate the success Of next year from
the outcome of this election. The
democrats in Washington are unques-
tionably more cheerful over the news
than their republican neighbors, and
point to Potter's majority as positive
proof that New York is reliably demo-
cratic. They call attention also to the
fact that the republicans persistently
made the issues in New York of a ma
tional character, the same as in Ohio,
and though the democrats we're defeat
ed on them in Ohio, the results in New
York show that those issues cannot
make the north stalwartly solid.
Tilden has but few friends among
the democrats here, as most of them
are southern men, and Tor this reason
there is u general prediction that his
failure to carry New York for Robin
son lays him on the shelf, SO far as the
presidential nomination is concerned
There is, however. perceptible feeling
that his defeat was not SO overwhe,m.
ing as to totally destroy his grip ON
things political, and there are some
democrats who protest that his strength
general will be increased by the stand
taken by the party under the lead OF
Tilden, in risking defeat rather than
submit to tie dictation of faction,
whose connection with it has been for
years a reproach throughout the coun-
try. 1t is quite generally believed that
the result in New York largely helps
Senator Bayard's chances for the presi-
Dental nomination.

New York, Nov. 6.-The Panama
Star of the 29th ult., says: The Peru
Wan congress the other day passed Il law
positively prohibiting the Importation
of manufactured articles or the natu-
raj products of Chill into any ports of
the republic; breadstuffs must be inn
ported from points thousands of miles
away. The effect of this law will be
to create reprisals on the part of Chill.
The sugars of Peru, which now find a
close and ready market in the neigh
boring republic, will be compelled to
seek more distant countries.

New Yoik, Nov. 6.-To-day's Post

Conklingism, which is mere personal
incident Of stalwartism,. one Of its ex
cresences, has received check from
which it ought not recover. Conkling.
and the men to whom he has swayed his
arrogant and offensive methods, have
sought to use the northern sentiment
for the advantage OF their own mean
faction. Even they. must now see that
they cannot do so. The first curiosity
OF the election will repay study.

Special to Kansas City Times.
Galena, Kan, Nov. 3.-Last night
Marshall Liggett telegraphed Sheriff
Mcbride, of Jasper county, to send two
good men to meet him at this place.
The sheriff and Deputy Ross started at
once, aud arrived here at 2:30 o'clock
this morning. In about an hour after
wards Marshall Liggett and Deputies
Walker, Keshlear and Langhorn ar
rived on special train. The officials
at once laid plans with a. view of secur-
ing the body of the Inflated desperate.
Liggett's party and Deputy Ross left
early this morning for the scene of the
conflict, and Sheriff McBride and Mar
shall Liggett went east. The officers
are perfectly satisfied that Jesse James
has been killed.
The Times reporter had an interview
with Shepherd at the Bankz hotel early
this morning, and learned the following
particulars.
He said: "My name is George Shep-
herd, and I live in Kansas City; am

Dublin, Nov. 6.-The Irish land
league has adopted the address drafted
by the national land league, Tuesday
last, calling OH the farmers for practical
assistance in the efforts making towards
securing the soil of Ireland for those
who cultivate it with a view TO the es-
tablishment of a peasant proprietary.
Owing to arrangements for Parnell's

him to carry out his programme Of WIS.,

tory majority over all the other tickets.
Even the managers of the machine
must now see that 1t was folly to offend
unnecessarily the thousands of repub-
iican voters. We say unnecessarily,
because If Conkling had not chosen, at
what he believed to be safe time, to
assert insolently his questionable au-
thority, it would have been easy to
nominate a ticket tnnobjectionable to any
member Of the party. The men who
were wantonly and uselessly offended,
are strong enongh to-. decide close
election in this state. They represent
throughout the country the body of the
independent voters, who are indispens-
able to. republican success next year.
They are stalwart enough for all prac-
tical purposes.
The return of these men, (of whom
ex- President Woolsey is "a fair type, to
the party, is one Of the remarkable
signs of the times, but while through
the force of circumstances, they acqui-
esce in stalwartism, they will not ac-
cept stalwartism with Conkling at
tached to it.
New York: In regard to the vote on
the State ticket, the Herald this morn
ing says: "Another day has passed, the
third since election, without settling
the fate of any officer on the general
state ticket except governor. The ut
most that can be said is that the voting
was unusually close in the case of every
one Of them, and that the probabilities
still favor the success of most of the
democratic candidates." The Sun es-
Inmates Cornell's plurality at Ss, 500 and
Potter's majority at 4. DID.
