Through a letter from E. Penrod Of

Mardis had started for Elko to purchase
supplies for the Chinese camp, receiving
from them about $3.50 to pay for the
same. His possession Of the money be-

two knife stabs, one Of which penstrated

MAINE.

Latest kilograms from Maine simply
oonarm the triumph Of the Republican
party in the recent State election. The
Republicans have elected their Governor
and three out Of the Ave Congressman.
The Legislature Is largely Republican In
both chambers. When 1t 10 borne in
mind that the Fusiouists beat the Be
publicsss two years ago the victory 10 all
the more apprssiabls. The Republican
gain is not SO great as was anticipated.
owing to the sudden and somewhat
unexpected combination Of the Grssn'
hackers aud Democrats at the last
moment. but It Is pretty good to win,
even though it Is by a scratch. 1t GER
taiuly 10 better than to lose. The back
towns and remote precincts, several Of
which last year gave Fusioniss MAORI
ties. have given Republican majorities
this year. There il every reason to an
ticipats that the Republicans will carry
the Presidential election in Maine next
November by a sweeping triumph.
Anyhow the Democracy have nothing
to crow over in this matter. They spent
their money lavishly and got nothing
for it, not even honor and credit, for
all OF tina, 10 claimed BY the Grsenoaek-
er., who stouily declare that the Demo-
Gratis did all the iusipg. and BY them
selves would not amount to much. AIS
well that ends well. and 1t 10 rather
amusing to note The courageous whisting
Of the Democracy over the result. At
frst they claimed q grand triumph and
crowsd loudly thsrest; but by degrees
their apparent triumph grew beautifully
less until 1t went out Of sight altogether.
Some OF them. however. still imagine
they 500 q brilliant Democratic sue
cess in il. as. for instance. Eugene
Casserly, OF San Francisco. who day
before yesterday tslesraphsd jubilantly
to General Hancock as follows: "Msins

East shines brightly. Its name II
Hancock. 'Bayonsts are not ut In
s,rumsnts for collecting frssmsn's
votes Well spoken. high Chief"
The "hish chief did not see anything
to jubilats much over. and didn't seem
to think that mythical new star" shone
bright enough to have his name so sum-
marty bestowed upon 1t. so he briefly
replied with q few hopeful illusions to
the Pacific coast. "whoss interests he
would always sndesvor to promote"
Casserly believes that dollars are better
instruments than bayouets ''for collect
ing freemen's votes" In fact. he
dosss not believe bayonsts should be
used for that purpose at all, except in
the South. and then only In the hands
Of the Democracy to protect the ballot.
