NOTES OF THE ELECTION.


WARREN, O., November Mr.. P.
w. Sutliff, of this city, is waiting for
the fulfllment of a singular wager
with which he made with Attorney
Sutliff, of Wheeling. The latter is
Democrat and the former a staunch
Redublican. They made bet in Sep
tember as follows: Should Hancock
be elected, Mr.. Sutliff, of Warren, was
to purchase the best hat that could be
found in the city of Warren and car
ry it on foot to Mr.. Sutliff in Wheeling;
and should Garfield be elected, Mr..
Sutliff, Of Wheeling, was to perform
the same conditions Mr.. Sutliff is
waiting very patiently in the county
seat of Trumbull county for the Wheel
ing attorney to notify him that he has
started, bearing the precious freight.

LATEST FROM CALIFORNIA.
SAN Francisco, November 6.-Bet-
ting men here are greatly excited over
the closeness of the vote in this State.
Large sums were wagered on the re-
suit, and bets were that Hancock
would carry the State, or Uice ce, sd.
1t is now remembered that one of the
Democratic electors, David s. Terry,
the man who killed Broderick in duel,
was badly scratched in this city. He
ran behind 1913, and about 81 in Alme-
do county, or perhaps 100 in the en-
tire State. This insures the election
of one Republican elector, even if the
Democrats secure the remaining five,
because the leading man on either
ticket will not have more than 100
majority. The latest count makes
Garfield zone hundred and fifty ahead,
and the Republican State Central Com
mittee now think that their ticket will
pull through by very slight MAORI
ty, so slight it will require the official
| figures to determine to whom the
State belongs. The Democrats are re-
ceiving no dispatches, and seem rath-
er apathetic about the matter. Repub-
licans are now sure of q majority OF
nine on Joint ballot in the State Legis-
lature.
TENNESSEE.
The Republicans have elected their
Governor in Tennessee, very unusu-
al occurrence. There were two DEM
ocratic candidates, divided on the ques-
4ion of paying their State debt And
hence the election of Republican.
INDIANA.
In this State, which was the source
of so much anxiety to both parties be-
fore it's October election, the Garfield
Presidential electors have just about
the same majority now in November
as the Republican State ticket had for
Governor in October, thus showing it
to be Republican State in fact.
THE Titusville Herald gives the
number of completed wells of October
at 339; producing 1851 barrels new
drilling wells 3SS, new rigs up and
building 3SS, dry holes 8. Compared
with September operations there is a
slight falling off in development.
Already there is speculation as TO
President Garlield's Cabinet. Western
I Pennsylvania should unite upon man
and urge for a seat in the same.
