STILL IN DOUBT,

Che political situation in Maine re.
mains much the same as it was at the
time of our last issue; both sides
claim Eictory-Governor Davis
telegraphs that he is elected by
800 plurality, while the Fusionists in.

Senator Blaine says the vote is so
close that it will take the official count
to determine the result. The returns
cannot be opened until the meeting of
the legislature in January. Even if
Davis is elected by paltry 800 ma

The Virginia Chrohieie is responsible
for the statement that the Democratic
Central Committee at it recent meeting
in Virginia City, declared in favor OF
holding all future State Conventions OF
the party at the Capital. and what is no
less surprising. several other State
journals evince through their utterances
upon the subject. a belief in the author
iIy of n Committee TO establish such
practice If il chose. Now, the fact il,
no such declaration as that claimed by
the Chronicle was made by the Commit
tee. for two reasons:. First. because at
least one half Of that body were direct.
ly opposed To such scheme for obvious
reasons; un secondly. because all, or
nearly "il. at least Of the. members
recognized the fact that each Central
Committee is merely the creature Of
body whose last official function on
earth expired with such creation, and
that any effort on the part Of the crcn
ture Of the last convention. to control
or direct the action Of the next Que,
would merely expose them to ridicule
for ignorance and contempt for their
false assumption of power. The dele

tice. and mn emincntly proper one, and if
there is any political authority to which

There is n little railroad in Nevada, n
feeder OF the Central Pacific, that is ruu
by church members, who endeavur to
make business and religion harmonize
The road connects with the Central Pa
cific at Battle Mountain and runs to the
town of Austin, ninety miles distant
Battle Mountain was Mt one timo the

trail Pacific Railroad, but is now the
boss gospel town of the Pacific Coast.
The parties who conduct the little rail
road have established q church and
Sunday school at Battle Mountain,
and hold prayer IN Getting every night in
the week. In order that the passengers
over their road might have an opportu-
nifty TO seek salvation, they arranged tie
timetables SO that all passengers would
have to stop over at night. Battle
Mountain is a lonesome place and the
stranger within its gates would hunt a
dog-aght or prayer meeting, which.
ever migh. present itself, for the pur.
pose Of passing the time. Tho railroad
people ex;erminated all the dogs. SO III Il
dog fights were impossible. and thus

But the business men travelling over the
road made u fuss nni threatened to do
their travelling in buggics; so the godly
railrondors, rather Than lose tho travel,
changed the time tables. They then
suspended Sunday trains, hs their con.
science would not permit them to run
