The Republican majority in Vermont ex-
ceeds the most sangune expectations.
Farnham's vote is 47,so6; Phelps, Demo-
GRAFT, 2l,249; Heath, Greenback, 1.49S-
Farnham's plurality over Phelps, 26,557 :;
majority over all, 25.04l, increase in the
Republican majority over 1876, l,334-in-
crease in the Republican vote over four
years ago, 3,076; increase in the Demo-
cratic vote, 2lS. The majority for Farm
ham was never estimated over 25,00Q over
the Democrats, but it is more than that
oyer the Democrat and Greenbacker COM
hlned. 1t shows how much following Han
cock has outside of the Democratic party.
AS we stated in the early opening of the
campaign. it would be a measurement of
strength between the two parties, with all
the advantages in favor Of the Republicans,
by reason of the healthy condition Of bu-
lness and the successful manage ment Of
the finances of the country by the admin
istraton. We have no forced lille labor
as in 1S76-no revnlting independent
vote-no scratchers. The party is united,
and being SO its success is assured,

the following to Gen. Garfield
AUGUSTA, September, IA, 1885,
z" Gen. James A. Garfield. Mentor, Ohio:
The net result of yesterdays election as nearly as
can be stated at this hour e p M Tuesday, is about
as follows: The republicans here carried the first
second and third congressional DISTRICTS while the
fustonists have carried the fourth and fifth The
republicans have carried both branches of the leg.
1slature by strong majority, reaching perhaps,
two-thirds of each house. On the popular vote for
governor, Davis and Plaisted have each over 1000
votes, with the probabilities in favor of Plaisted
coming out a few hundred, perhaps 200 ahead The
result is undeniably surprise to US, and equally
so to the mass of the democratic party Maine Our
canvass was never accurately taken, and it showed
on Wednesday last total vote for Davis of trihe
over 5000 with assured majority of6 900 at the
minimum. In the four days proceeding the election
we lost over 5000 votes by means we'll known to the
managers of the national democratic campaignand
which do not call for further specification from me-
The total cost is varously estimated from $4,000
to 100000 and the money all came from beyond the
state Such scenes were ne yer before witnessed In

not be forgotten that nearly all national ca

Of the majority for Garfield.
Taking the work Of the Hancock and

knowledge, all in all, we are compelled to
recognize in it a very efficient auxiliary to
the Republican party, and shall take great
pleasure in recommending its very wise and
| sagacious president to President Garfield
for respectable foreign mission. Certain
| ly the Democratic party will have no
further use for him after this campaign, for
his methods will prove as fatal to his party,
as did those of the Lowell Committee to the
great and good Conservative party.
And then the Re-adjusters owe this re-
markable Club debt of gratitude, for from
the election of Paul over Allen for Con-
gress in the Seventh District. and Frazier
over Tucker in the Sixth District. The
people have no idea of submitting to the

are anything but inviting for communities
who want to do right. They had enough

Presence of Mind.


An Irishman of Montana was working
placer mine a few miles from Bears
Gulch, and visited that place one day to
get his tools sharpened. just as he
was about to start back, some one told
him that if he would 60 home by way of
Sour Krout Gulch, he would not miss
his way, and would save several miles
of walking. Pat started out, but after
travelling several miles, the sun was
almost down, and he had seen nothing
that looked familiar At last he made
up his mind that he was lost, and, to
use his own words, feared he "would be
robbed and murthered entirely, all
alone"
While he was in this state of mind he
espied cinnamon bear on the side OF
the mountain, and almost ready to fall
to the ground with fright. Recovering
his self possession little, he said:

PRIZE FIGHTING.
The Brutal Sport on the PGciine IN

New York Times.

New York Times
Prize fights have been steadily losing
countenance for years, even with the
ruffianly class that has hitherto sup
ported them, and the end of them in this
country seems very near. They are
essentially un-AmeriCan, and have never
met with any degree of encouragement
from the native population, unless of
direct British or Irish descent. Profess
sional pugillsm is of English origin, and
has been tolerated, even advocated. in
Britain by men of position and title.
The earliest account on record of svste-
matte British boxing was in l740. when
public displays of the "manly art" at
tractcd general attention. Up to that
time sclf-defensc with fists had made
but little progress, strength and endur-
ance being the only recommendations of
the bruisers at Smithiield. Moorefeld
and Southwark fairs, where boxing
booths and rings had long been seen
In the year aforesaid, Broughton, who
pronounced himself champion of Eng
land, built a theater for exhibitions, and
they were well attended and stubbornly
fought. He also introduced gloves for
sparring, with various rules mitigating
the savageness of the practice. Jackson,
the champion of 1885, made the business
so popular that halt the men of rank and
fashion OF the day were proud to be his
pupils. Shaw, the Life Guardsman, who
so distinguished himself at Waterloo.
was Jackson's disciple, and his achieve
ments on the battlefield were owing as
much TO training as to strength. Bel
cher, Gulley and Crib were also famous
champions of the period From the
time of George " pugiism has steadily
declined on account of the dishonesty
and meanness OF its principal partici-
pants, who gradually became common
roughs backlegs and thieves. The last
fight that drew any notice from any
decent people was between Savers and
Heenan, and that because it had as
sumed an international character. In
the United States puGilism has never
touched the outermos. circle of respecta-
biity. 1t has from the first been sur
rendered TO the vilest creatures in the
community, and really reputable Ameri-
cans have never countenanced il. The
main argument in its behalf, that it dis
couraged the use of deadly weapons has
long been refuted; for pugillsts of a pro-
fessional sort are continually employing
knives and revolvers without the slight
est justification. The one thing which
they might be expected to have is ply
steal courage. But most of them have
proved themselves, whenever opportu-
nifty offered, wholly devoid of it. The
sincerest, most active supporters of prize
fighting are not only low scoundrels, but
arrant towards, either ready to pick a
pocket or stab an enemy in the dark.

When, in l776, the thirteen North
American colonies put forth the Declara-
ton of Independence which preluded
the birth of nation, the combined
white population inhabiting them did
not exceed 2,500000 souls Yet they
had the courage to throw down the gage
of battle to Power with which" in
the Daniel Websier's words, "for pur-
poses of foreign conquest and subjuga-
tion, Rome, in the height of her glory
was not to be compared; Power which
has dotted over the surface of the whole
globe with her possessions and military
posts, whose morning drum-beat, fol-
lowing the sun and keeping company
with the hours, circles the earth with
one continuous and unbroken strain of
martial airs of England"
Fourteen years later came, in 1870,
the first census Of population taken in
the United States, and it was found that
within the borders of the young nation
there were not quite 100000 souls AT
the expiration o. ten years it appeared,
upon taking the second census, that the
population was little more than 5,250,.

Armstrong residing in this city, has little
son about seven years of age who was de
formed in his left foot at birth. The foot
was turned in, and the weight of the body
fell, in walking, upon the ankle joint. Last
summer, Armstrong sent his wife, with
the child, to the Kansas City Surgical lnsti-
tute for treatment, where they stopped for
several weeks. The result is, that now,
when the boy walks, no deformity can be
discovered, and the bright little fellow
seems to ealize the great benefit derived

tute. The second trip was made n few DAYS

and in falling her left foot was twisted in

the cause why the child was thus deformed
The Kansas City Surgical Institute has
done neat piece of work in this instance,
and is entitled to commentator therefor
They advertise to cure and make straight
almost any of the deformities that hu-

but what their proficiency in correcting de-
formities cannot be excellcd.
The management of the Institute is sys-

officers since its inauguration-Drs. Dicken-
