Hon. W. H. English talked freely about the
 late election and it's results. He thinks In
 diana has held up remarkably considering the
 defeat in October, and that they have not had
 majority in the State since 1872, and then
 less than 200 for Hendricks for Governor.
 Personally he feels no chagrin at the result.
 While feeling the honor of an unanimous
 nomination for the Vice Presidency, without influence and patronage it had no charm for him and he feels rather glad that he is left to a life more congenial and profitable The Democracy, with Democratic Senate and close House of Representatives and the Presidency decided by a small majority in single State, will not die The real cause of Republican success was the prospsrous times and business satisfaction. The country thought it wisest to let we'll enough alone, and lack of harmony in New York, the Oc- tober election in Indiana and some other things may have had little weight. But the main thing was good times and the disposi- tion to let well enough alone. In conclud- ing, MT. English bewailed the corruption in party politics, so different from forty years ago, when he first entered political life.

III years probably the oldest woman in the State of New York, has just been found dead in bed in her hut on the Ulster Mountains near here. She had died from starvation and weakness, and her house was found in ter rible condition. No food of any kind was in the house. The appearance of the corpse in- dicated that the old lady had, from lack of proper food, become unable to get out of her bed, and had lain there until she had died of starvation.
 Mrs. Dempsey had lived in this hut, miles from any habitation, for many years. She had been solitary in her habits ever since she was abandoned by a young man with whom she eloped from school when a girl.
 Beside the dead woman's bed was found a piece of paper, on which was scrawled in pencil:
 My God, am dying by inches from hun ger. My money will be found"
 And there it ended
