ONE lesson has been learned by minori-
ties all over the state, which this journal
has been teaching for long time, that
it is suicidal to run two candidates for
county commissioner when only one can
he elected. 1t disruptsthe organization.
The Allegheny county Democrats tried
three and had triple trouble.
1T is SO touching to see the able Re-
publican editors headline the massacre of
Mississippi Democrats by Radical negro
bulldozers as the atfray at Marion,
Miss"

which meets on November 21st
SETH Low, elected mayor Of Brooklyn

muscular Quakerism by Editor Gricst.
OTTAWA papers tell of the narrow escape
of a prominent Canadian lawyer few
days ago from marrying an adventures

parties wcrc at the church altar, and the

SINCE the catcrpilars in Maine .!cvas-
tated the apple orchards few years a. O
the trees have regularly borne in what are
elsewhere oif.ycars.' This years crop
of apples in Maine is enormous, the quail.
ity is superb, and the farmers are getting
s' a barrel 1T their own doors, owing to
tho scarcity everywhere else. There
always was streak of pure cusscdncss in
Maine.
WHILE the creditors of Egypt have
been compelled to go without their money

in charge of New York aldermen.
THE full and correct table of official lc-
turns of the county vote appears t" day
on the INTELLIGESCER's fourth page and
is worth scrutiny. The parties seem to
have tried which could get out the small
est vote 1t viii! be seen that the Demo-
cratic candidate for commissioner leads
his ticket. Judge Livingston runs 312
votes ahead Of the straight Republican

to have been the most popular man on the
