CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 2.-The total
vote of Chattanooga is 2,625; the largest
vote by 400 ever polled here. The re-
publicans claim the election of their
entire ticket by 500 majority.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 3.-Partial
returns from 81 counties give Wright
25,147; Hawkins, 25,11S; Wilson, r.
522 Wilson VIII beat Wright by TO-
600 in Middletown and is far behind
i'll east and west Tennessee. The race
for governor is really between Wright
democrat and Hawkins republican.
The republicans have elected ten men,
bers of the legislature in Shelby county
and probably six in Davidson and it is
thought they viii have control of the
legislature, thus securing L. 5. senator
and state officers Wright's majority
in Davidson county over Wilson is
$4,000 which is about equal to Haw-
kins. 1t is thought the latter is
elected
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 3.-The city
and county was carried for Hancock
The republicans carry the county for
governor, and their entire legislative
ticket The result over the state is still
in doubt between Hawkins, republican
for governor and Wright, state credit
democrat, and the complexion OF gen
eraI assembly is still doubtful as be
tween democrats and republicans, but
regulators delegation in the legisla-
ture will be insignificant.
MEMPHIS, Nov. 4.-Later returns
from Lafayette and Hardeman counties
in this 10th congressional district, in
sure the election of w. f. Moore, re-
publican candidate for congress, by not
less than 600 majority, over Case
Young, democratic candidate, a re-
publican gain.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 4.-Returns
complete and partial from 66 counties
out of 81 give Hawkins, for governor,
of GO, 100; Wright, 647S7; Wilson, 49,

Had n Shock.

Yes" Mr.. Messenger replied, in an
swer to the young ladys remark, che
was rather fond Of bathing, very fond
Of it, in fact. but he received II shock
a few summers ago while in the water,
and he as never recovered from it,"
"My,' She exclaimed, did snake
bite him? Oh, dreadful" NO" Mr..
Messenger said, 1T wasn't that exactly,
but Just as he was about ready to come
out Of the river, he saw tramp going
up over the hill about quarter Of q
mile away, with his hat, his pocketbook
his vest his watch, his handkerchief,
his stockings his cigar-case, his shoes.
his gloves, his collar, his necktie, his
shirt-stud and collar-button, his s-s-sus-
penders, his cane, and well in fact, his
trousers. And there was Sunday
school picnic only half mile down the
river, gradually coming nearer, and
he lounged among the willows all that
day, and walked home alone in the
starlight And the fact was, he had
never been able t. enjoy a swim very
much since that time Huntingdon

INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 2.-The election
to-day, passed off without disturbance
in this city. The indications are that
a smaller vote has been pulled than at
the October election. Comparisons
tonight, will be made on on the vote

405, democratic vote of 234 452, ma
tional, 14,SS1 Republican plurality

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. Prom returns
thus far show about equal republican
and democratic gains in one hundred

jority in the state about the same as in

BosTox, Nov. -Eighty-three towns
and cities including Worcester. Fitch.
burg and New Bedford, gave Garfield
36,976 Hancock, 1892.
| BosToN, Nov. 2.-Complete returns
from the 3rd congressional dist. give A
Ranney majority of 647 over Dear
born. Returns from the 4th congress
sional district give F. B. Hayes ma
jority of 247, over Morse. This is a
gain of one congressman for the re-
publicans. All cities and towns in the
9th district except five, give Stone, rep,
n majority of 2,477, over Boynton,
green-back democrat.
Boston, Nov. 2.-Later reports leave
the 9th congressional dis riot in doubt
with the probability fayoring the cleo
ton of Stotse, republican. The Herald
says Morse, democrat, is elected to
congress in the 4th district bv rs
plurality while the Journal figures up
a plurality of 294 for Hayes, republican,
his opponent. This leaves two dis
tricts in doubt.

Life would be impracticable unless it
were the primary rule to believe what
is told us. There IS not single rea-
ton in adult life in which we are not
compelled to depend upon the word of
anothCr-of n husband, wife, friend,
an agent. We believe certain things
representing them-their honor, their
chastity, their affection. their faithful
ness. TO what kind of condition would
life be reduced if we apply to these
matters the universal duty of ques-
tioning all that we believe ?" In some.
at all events, of these relations, it may
lie observed, it is in the nature of the
case impossible that we should have
sufficient evidence for our belief. 1t
is an unquestionable fact that many
man who has been trusted, and who
has for years borne an uneXceptional
character, has proved faithless; and it
is quito impossible | can be sure upon
grounds of evidence respecting any
particular man that he is incapable Of
his baseness. But the first condition Of
a genuine and honorable friendship is
to believe this, to refuse to entertain n
doubt of it. and if need be, to uphold
u lIlcid llpllOi llllti ne u absolutely
proved dishonorable. With respect To
trust exercised in commercial relations,
it might perhaps be said that it is
mere application of the principle of
probabilities. As a matter of expert
ence, if customers are trusted, the ma
jority of them will fulfill their engage
ments. 1t may be doubted whether
tradesmen really do act in practice on
this mere calculation of probabilities
at all events the principle does not APP
ply to the other relations of life Just
referred to. 1t would be an insult to
friend to say you trusted and loved
him, because you thought it more
probable he was true than that he was
false. He expects from you, as the
primary condition of true friendship,
that you believe firmly concerning him
that of which YOU cannot possibly have
certain evidence.

all very well, if one likes n continual
round of excitement and gaiety. For
myself, prefer the country--such a

Rose gave him an incredulous look.

And just then they reached the big,

Mrs Ellis sat knitting, and the farmer

siesta And while after the introduce

interested questions about the accom-
modations of the neighborhood for
summer boarders, little fair-haired
