FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
CHESTER A. ARTHUR,
OF NEW YORK.
The Promise Of the Elections.

The significance of the October elections
is fully recognized by the independent
newspapers of the country. They generally
concede that the Republican victory in
Ohio and Indiana means the success of
Garfield, Republican majority in the next
House of Representatives, and close and
probably Republican Senate. That New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut will fol
low the lead of the Wes ern States they do
not seem to doubt, and they hold it highly
probable that every electoral vote in the
North and some in the South will be given
to the Republican candidate, thing that
has happened but once in the history of the
Republican party. They are right. We
have the election in our own hands. Our
only danger now is from over-confidence
We must not permit ourselves to rest on our
arms. The enemy are on the run. We
must keep up the pursuit night and day,
and give them no opportunity to reform
their lines.
The independent papers believe that the
victory is owing to the attitude of the
Democracy toward the tariff, and the fears
of business and of laboring men that a
Democratic triumph would embarrass trade,
cripple labor and disturb both public and
private credit. That this is so the sharp
rise in Government securities and other
kinds of stocks goes to prove. Business is
relieved of an incubus, the dread of
Democratic restoration. 1t now feels itself
out of danger But the danger will not be
altogether passed until the defeat of the
Democracy is assured beyond all possible
doubt. And seeing this the intelligent
citizens of the States that have yet to vote
should not permit themselves to relax their
efforts. We believe they will not. All
classes of honorably occupied men, capital
lists and laborers, employers and employed,
have everything to dread and nothing to
hope from change. Aud so they will vote
against that change.

In recent issue the chronicler of The

men of France Of the present day, very few be-
ing able to keep up conversation or being en-
titled to the dignity of takers of the first rank

until quite late in life, and not being accus-
toned to suit himself to his company, NJ. Du-

and his consciousness of the fact still further
paralyzes his natural abilities. As he, besides.

versation with the fair sex, he is often worsted

He Couldn't Help It.
Detroit Free Pras.


There was another case yesterday OF boy
who couldn't help it. A prominent and dig
nifed citizen was looking through the third
story window of block on Jefferson avenue
which he had thoughts of renting, when the
idea suddenly struck him to look into the alley
in the rear. He raised the sash of the window
and peered out upon ash boxes, coal scuttles
and barrels of straw without number, and was
about to close his observations when the sash
came down with thud and struck him be-
hind the shoulders. In his fright he fell to
his knees and while the solid half of his body
was all right the lighter was over the window
sill. In addition to the weight of the sash ary
movement of the body was accompanied by
pain. The sash could not be reached with his
hands freely enough to lift it, and it soon oc-
Cured to tie prominent citizen that he ought
to have help. He could not expect it from be-
hind as he was alone in the store but as he
looked down into the alley boy came stump
ing along to find something warth Juggling
away.
Hello, boy! hello'' cried the citizen.
Hello yourself! cried the boy as he looked
"say. boy, come under the window here T
"Not much yer DON'T" chuckled the gamin.
You can't drop no coal scuttles on my head !"
But don't mean to"
"Mebbe not, but you've got a bad face ON
yon for all that. When did you get out of the
boy, want your help"

get out"
$50 would L. Been prospecting for old Junk,
eh! You'll get six months for that!'
IF you'll come up START and help me out I'll
give you a dollar!"

like that at me I'll hit you In the eve with
this old lemon. don't look starched up, but
don't let any man insult me, all the same.

the citizen.
Nav, DON'T but I'll bet the perleece do,
You've got one Of the hardest mugs on you
ever saw, and I've good mind to give you
one Just for luck. Look ont, nowi''
He made as If he would throw, and the clti-
zen lodged. This was such fun for the boy
that be kept it up for three or four minutes
and the offer of So had no effect on him. Then
he gathered six or eight old lemons and oranges
together, and sail:
II believe you're the boss hyena who
knocked dad down at the caucus, and Pm go
ing to drive your nose back exactly an inch."
IF you throw at me I'll call the policel'' ex-
claimed the citizen.
The sooner ye call the sooner veil be
lugged! Here's to hit you square on the nose!"
The opening of back door of a store and
the appearance Of man disconnected the lads
alm and the lemon struck the citizens hat in
stead OF his nose. His yells brought climax
but the air was full of tropical fruit even as
the boy busted down the alley and turned
corner.
The boy couldn't help acting that way. He
was born SO. 1t wouldn't have been bit like
boy to run up stairs and release the man.
He didn't have a fair show with his spoiled
lemons, but boys soon get over disappoint-
ments.

The Meeting Last Night.

Tne meeting at City Hall last night was
large and of course enthusiastic. 1t shows
that the Republicans are earnestly bent on
carrying Maine for Garfield by great ma
jority. And if they will only work they can
do it. The depression caused by the Sept
ember election has entirely passed away.
Our morale isnow excellent. Our oppon-
ents, on the other hand, are discouraged
and disheartened, and ready to throw up
their hands. Now is the time to drive them
to the wall. We must give them no rest.
We must not permit them time to rally.
From this day forth we must force the
fighting. Every thing favors us, and only
by the most stuaid negligence and Incidence
can we lose the fruits of victory. Let not
the Western triumph beguile us to careless
ness, but let every Republican fall to work
as though the contest was still doubtful and
the success of Garfield depending on the
electoral vote OF Maine.

PHILADELPHIA Press: l. looks like a
tidal wave. The October States come with
glorious Republican triumph and clear the
way for conclusive Republican victory in
November. The reports are of the most
inspiring character. Ohio goes Republican
by upward OF 10000. Indiana, for the first
time in the October elections of ten years,
throws its great weight into the Republican
scale. Both of them outstrip the best Re-
publican expectations, and mark an irresist-
ible Republican sweep. The signs are un-
mistakable. At last the patriotic North is
thoroughly aroused, and proclaims that the
government shall not pass into the hands of
the solid South, and of those who would
strike deadly blow at the business and in
dustrial interests of the land,

Literary Men.
Lights and Shadows Of the Business of
Manuscript Making.

Mr.. Trollope, who is pleased to call litera-
ture trade, says that any man may set up in
the business who can command table and
chair, pen, ink and paper. The prospect held
out by this popular novelist is not little de-
lusive, the London Spectator says with more
truth and clearness Success in journalism, if
not in literature, requires period of technical
training, and an amount of acquisition which
can be gained only by the persistent labor Of
years. 1t is one of the most arduous of profess
sions, If man is brilliantly successful it is
one Of the most wearisome and least remuner-
ative, if by ill-luck, which generally means
want Of ability, writer is compelled to occu-
py an inferior position. There can be no
doubt that an average medical man or an aver
age lawyer will gain better income, and gain
it more easily. than the average man of letters,
Moreover, literature has tho disadvantage.
from monetary point of view. of being open
to all the world. No one can take fees as
physician or barrister, or receive his commits
sion as an architect, without special and ex.
pensive course Of study. The journalist, as
we have said, needs his training also; but lite
rary work of every description can be at

and the remunerations of the professional
workman is lowered in consequence. In
every pursuit which taxes the higher powers
of the mind the strain is often considerable,
but the man of letters feels 1t most He works
generally In Sc litude, and without the contact
with his fellows which diversifes the labor of
men in other professions. There are few occup-
ations, however Intellectual which are not to
some extent mechanical The artist may mix his
colors with brains, but he has also much use of
his hands, and finds in his work a good deal that
is restful. The chemist, the astronomer. the en-.
gineer, the statesman and the barrister are not
chained to the desk like the man Of letters, who,
if his bread and cheese depend on his pen has al
so the disadvantage Of being sometimes forced
to write when he has nothing to say, a position
as unfortunate as that Of Pope's Grab street

may be viewed from quite different stand
ing-poiut No doubt it has its brilliant sue
cesses; no doubt, it sometimes brings man
wealth. and-which is great deal better-the
society and the friendship Of some of the best
and the wisest OF the race Fame, too, is one
of the baits it holds out to the ambitious, and
intellectual energy is almost always allied with
ambition. Yet every one who has suffered
from this 'infrmitv" must have felt, at times,
the truth of Mr. Bagehot's words that "the
pursuit of fame, when it is contrasted with the
grave realities Of life, seems more absurd and
trifing than most pursuits, and to leave less
behind it."
