A farmer, who for several years took
the first prize for potatoes, was asked
one day the reason why his potatoes
were so much better than others.
"Thereis no magic about it., he said;
Thorough blowing or digging of the
soil, careful cheice of seed, a frequent
stirring of the surface, and every weed
pulled up-these are the secrets of sue
cess.'

Latest advices and more careful compi
iaton increase the probable republican
majority to $4,000. Returns from nearly
300 election precincts, casting nearly hall
the vote Of the state, give Pillsbury, rep.
for governor, 1926; Rice, dem, 1887
Gilman, for lieutenant governor, 1L477
Barnum, 1919; Won Baunach, for sec
rotary Of state, 1854; Barer, 1896
Gilman having lost about as many repub
lican votes as he has gained democrats
his majority is about the average Of the
ticket. These returns are from the lar
ger towns. Those to come from rural
districts where the republican prepond
erance is greater, will, il is estimated, in
crease PillsburJ's majority to at least
$4,000. This is about 1000 behind the
rest of the ticket.

for the manufacture ofthe Singer, Howe,
Wheeler u Wilson, and Wellington sew
ing machines, since 1850, have been Sc
cured for the manufacture of the Wilson

with Mr.. Sheldon, the general manager
of the Wilson Sewing Machine Compa-
ny, elected the fact that our information

UP to the 18th inst. the result in New
York was still in doubt. 1t was gener-
ally conceded that Cornells (rep) major.
ity for governor would be about $4,000
The Sun published revised returns from
many counties in the state which showed
the following results: Potter, democrat
lieutenant governor, 1881 majority
Mackin, democrat, treasurer, l,2O2 ma
jority; Horatio Seymour, Jr.,
democrat, engineer and sur.
vcyor, $3.50 majority; Carr Ucpubli'
CAM. secretary Of state, 673 majority
Ward (republican) attorney general,
2,645 majority and Wadsworih (repub-
lican), comptroller, 1905 majority, The
Sun adds thas it has been Impossible to
get The exact figures from several coun.
ties, and from the closeness Of some Of
the results it is plain that the official
canvass alone can determine who are
elected. The Tribune said Special
kilograms received by the rcpuhli-
can state committee and 10y the
Tribune indicate the election of IIoskins
Wcp tor lieutenant. governor of New
York by Il plurality Of about l,400 The
state committee claims the election OF
Hoskins as well as that of every other
republican on the state ticket except
Soulc. The pluralities Of Ward, Carr,
Wadsworth and Wendell, range appar
entity from 4,5C0 TO 5000. 1t is not prob.
able that anything except the discovery
Of errors in the count or the preparation
Of fraud will change the result.
