the majority, though early in the evening
the Republicans had the advantage Of
numbers having gathered in the cxpecta-
ton of jubilee. Many amusing incidents
could be recorded. On the Neg Era pave
ment stood perhaps dozen members Of
the Ninth ward club and an almost equal
number Of defiant Republicans, and
it was intensely funny to watch these
young fellows stand there and veil
at the top Of their voices right
into each others faces. "Hurrah for Han

though all hands were warmed up to a
high pitch by the events Of the evening,
there was NO quarrclsome disposition
manifested and NO attempt to raise fight.
After the comical performance had con-
tirued for about ten minutes the police.
to prevent accidents requested them to
deSist, which was complied with, and the
Democrats moved off with the shout OF
victory. In the "wce s,na' hours awant

streets had resumed their wOnted quiet.
There was some lively chatting i'm the

Indiana were effected.

Our farmers are busy sowing their wheat,
cutting tobacco and corn. The tobacco
crop in the lower end is much superior to
the one Of last year in quality and several
times larger in quantity, SO the buyers will
remember, when they come to see us, to
bring along their deep purses. The corn
crop in the lower end will probably be the
best We have had for several years, and we
will only need high prices to make us
happy. as far as the corn goes.
Mr.. Theodore Kisiner. of Wakefield,
Fulton township, has housed two and one
quarter acres of what he calls A, No. 1
tobacco &; in fact he goes SO far as to claim
the championship Of tho ''lower end"
and challenges any one to bring better. If
there is that much Hancock tobacco
around that will beat it trOt it out, for
Mr.. Kisincr is good and Garficld-of
course the latter claim is qualification of

Saturday night was fixed for the big

there was gOod-sizcd crowd counting the
women and boys but of course they can't
vote and so they did not count much in
the main. A great many boys were in
the ranks carrying torches, which helped
to make q big show, and VIC must not for
get to mention our American brothers Of
African descent who were largely repro

on some of which read: ''SOlid for Gar

Circus Manners.


MEssRs EDITORS Can you imagine any
good reason why circus attaches and en-
ployees are nearly universally impertincnt,
ill-mannered and ungentlemanly Does the
association with the menagerie tend to
make them boorisil, or are they SO much
annoyed by visitors with unnecessary and
annoying questions that they lose their
tcmpers and therefore their manners
1 am led to these reflections by two in
cidents coming under my immediate notice
at Cooper & Bailcy's circus on Satur-
day evening.
This company advertise themselves as
the best, largest and finest now travelling
they invite the public to visit them, chars-
ing therefor price fixed by themselves,
and are bound we think tn treat visitors
civil'y and respectfully.
In making the round of the animal
cages, just as 1 approached the one con-
tanning the small hippopotamus, a gentle
man in front of me asked tho attendant,
"1s this hippopOtamus? The attendant
answered, snappishly, "The name is up
there can't you read it ~ After looking
intently I discovered small tin sign
nailed to the back part OF the cage, inside,
with ''IIippopotamus" thereon in small let
ters. Such signs were not on all the cages,
only a few, and visitors were not likely to
look for them.
If this attendant could have answered
with a civil Yes, that one gentleman ut
least would have gone away with much
better opinion of the circus and its mana
gers.
But pretty soon it came my turn. got
to the baby elephant. The mother and
baby were divided from the others and
the spectators by 4 low netting which a
man could readily step over.
l saw 4 man inside the netting who was
neatly dressed in citizens clothes and ap-
parently gentleman. Hc may be one of
| the proprietors for aught know, for he
afterwards acted rs ring -mis!cra al through

| ask some questions about tho baby, but
| did not feel entirely sure that he was con-
| nectcd with the circus; SO | addressed
him rs respectfully as could with the re-
mark: edo you belong to the circus -
And the immediate reply came, ' l wouldn't

did not resent his reply, and will do him
the justice to say that he afterwards talked
to me in 4 respectful way, though did
not forget his insulting answer to my first
question.

time profitably to training their men: II.

more freely for election expenses in the
persuasion that the money will not be
wasted. The party will entertain no doubt
of It's ability to carry Indiana, and may
perhaps prosecute :: vigorous campaign in
Ohio. The Republicans would not be
quito free from apprchensions respecting
that state after losing Maine. The majority
of Hayes in Ohio was less than three
thousand, and the democrats need not give
up the state in despair aftor gaining New
England state which they did not expect
to carry"
The Philadelphia Times says: 1t was
the revolution in Maine in 1910 that start
cI the Harrison hurricane; it was the
moro that 600 Republican majority Of
Maine in September, 1860, that cast the
doubtful October states of Indiana and
Pennsylvania. into the Lincoln scale and
rcvolutionizcd the national administla-
ton; it was the more than 1900 majori-
ty of Maine in September, 1872, that
turned back the Greeley tide and post
poncd sectional peace indefinitely; it was
the more than $1,000 majority of Maine in
September, 1876 that saved New
IIamp!lslirc, Ohio. Wisconsin, Cali
fornia, Oregon and Nevada to Hayes
and made his formally declared election
possible by an electoral commission, after
his defeat by quarter Of 4 million ma.
.jority and the loss of the entire Republi-
can majority of Maine, hitherto more than
ten per cent. Of the whole vote polled, will
cast every doubtful state in the Hancock
column, and make states doubtful which
have been practically conceded to Gar
field. Whether the indicated election Of
Plaisted, Fusionist, shall be maintained
by the complete returns, or whether
Davis, Republican, shall be elected by 4
nominal majority, is not material in cstl-
mating the lesson of Maine to those who
arc to givo battle in Ohio, Indiana and
West Virginia in October, and in Con-
nccticut, New Hampshire, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Colorado, Nevada, California and
Oregon in November. 1t will be read and
understood alike by all in all those states,
and the now trembling scales of the politi-
cal balance in Indiana will settle incOntcs-
tibly on tho Hancock side and the quiver-
ing scales will henceforth play their part
in Ohio.

The atlviccs from Maine Indicate that
the state has elected General Harris n.
Plaistcd, tho Fusion candidate for gov
ernor, by from 1000 to 1900, and that tic
Fusionists have carried three OF the five
congressional districts. The Legislature
will undoubtedly he Republican and elect
a Republican United States senator. The
Republicans conceilc the defeat of their
state ticket and the election OF three Flu.
sion congressman.
The New York Herald says: 1t seems
to DO conceded by the Republicans at Au
gusta that the Fusionists have carried the
state, although Senator Blaine thinks
there is a bare possibility that fuller returns
may save tho Republican ticket. But hc
candidly acknowledges that eren IN that ccent

state. Besides 4 host of native ora
tors 4 great array OF first rate speaking
talent has been subsidized from other
states, making the canvass one Of the live
licst in recent years. Maine sends forth Il
large number of sailors, and a great pro-
portion Of the Republican sailors were
called home to vote. All Of the govern
mcnt clerks in Washington who are citi
zens of Maine, got leave of absence and
reduced railroad fares to participate i'll the
election. The arrangements for conveying
aged or infirm voters to the polls were
more complete than they have ever been
before, and the weather favored their at
tendance. Moreover, Mr.. Weaver, the
Grccnback candidate for the presidency,
was induced to 60 to Maine and attempt to
divide and demoralizc the Fusionists. And
yet, in spite Of all these efforts and advan-
tages, the Republican have either lost the
state or have come SO near losing it as to
make their recent boast ridiculous. They
estimated their majority at not less than
five thousand, and some of the more san
guine put it as high as ten thousand.

life and hope into the Democratic canvass,

In Glaciers "IIerocs of Three Wars"

displayed the characteristics of true and
chivalrous manhood. Gracious to a con-
qucrcd enemy, generous in all his instincts,
incapable Of pcttiness, never rcvengcful,
splendid in military qualities, he was such
general as would fifty adorn the annals
Of any age, however glorious. The student
of human nature takes courage in con-
tcmplating such a character, and believes
afresh in tho possibility of the lofticst
types Of manhood"

the relation, Miss Irish has denied it, and
