GREATEVTSHOW WINTHE WORLD
OF GhIs colossal exhibition TO be
hero on Friday Oct I3th.

TIE show, as it is, is the most won.
derfal exhibition ever presented to q
New York public, and without doubt
it is the finest circus the world ever
saw, hence the phenomenally large
audiences that are to be seen At every
performance. The circus in three rings
is Immense, and the costumes worn by
the various riders and artists ale mar
wells of elegance and good taste. The
double menagerie contains the very
rarest animals, and the extesive
museum has some remarkably curious
human beings. In the menageries are
Jumbo, the wonderful baby elephant,
and the young of many other animals,
making the geological collection
source of great int rest and value.
There is also baby Znlu and troupe
of these curious people. The special
and sensation acts of Lu Lu, the man
bird, the fl ing trapezists, of which
there are four, Zlzel, the monster, and
the Japanese acrobats and jugglers are
intensely interesting. Altogether, the
show in magnificent, it's equal never
seen, and its thousands of features and
ATTRACTIONS the best, unquestionably,
in the world.

Out of the fifteen governors elected

New Hampshire and Nebraska.
Butler says he is not "A candidate for
president. Let him tell it !
The latest returns give the complex
ion of the next House as follows A.:
Democrats 100, republicans 1913, and
independents and readiusters ~. There
is an antidemocratic representation
from the South of -.
1t begins to look as though Gov.
Longs proverbial luck is to make him
the successor of Senator IIoar. Long
is popular, but he is not great man.
Democratic enthusiasts are loudly
talking the prospects of Butler and
Cleveland for the next presidential
nomination. Great changes are likely
to take place in the next two years.
Theodore Lyman was elected to Con-
grcss in the ninth Massachusetts dis
trict on distinctively civil service re-
form platform. He was elected without
money, and his election very much re-
semblcs the election of President See
I've of Amherst college to the same of

Governor Long could have saved
Massachusetts to the republicans if the
political will-o'- the-wisp had not lured
him ON but the governor bids fair to
attain his desires.
Senator Hoar is a bitter enemy of
Butler, and it goes without the saying
that what the latter can do to effect the
formers defeat will not he left undone.
Senator Hoar once said that he want
ed no political preferment from state
that preferred Butler to Bishop, and
his wishes are likely to he respected.
Oliver Ames is said to be royal en-
tertainer. He gave supper to his
friends, and Gov. Long and Gov-elect
Butler were present and INDUCED in
some pleasant sharp shooting, in which
the latter did not come off second best.
all otf-year, the elections were a great
way off.
New York is to try the experiment
of a penny daily.

A great responsibility will rest upon
the democrats of the next House, and
it remains to he seen if they will he

Hale's plurality is ,496 and his ma
jority $50. He falls 5000 behind the

majority cannot win victories without
the rest of the party, and the minority
appear not to be afraid. This is but a
bare statement of facts, but it indicates
how, and how only, the republican
party can carry the country in 1884.
If it will courageously take to its heart
the lessons of the late canvass and
profit by them, its victory is as sure as
sunrise. If it refuses to learn, if it
undertakes to discipline men who do
not dread its power, but who smile at
its threats, the event of Tuesday will
be repeated with added emphasis

Gen. Griffin Defends Himself.

| am simply an independent voter,
determined not to be Overridden or
controlled by any ring. My motives in
this campaign have been the same as
they were in the campaigns in the field
from 1861 to 1865. A duty lay before
me, and | endeavored to perform that
duty without fear and without shirk-
ing. My motives were doubtless iden-
teal with those of the 200,0OO in New
York and the tens of thousands in 9TH
er states, who changed their votes and
rebuked misrule in their own party.
The "boltersn of Cheshire and Hills
boro counties are, as the Boston press
has said, the truest republicans in the
party; yet they have been subjected
to gross insults and indignities because
they dared to stand firm in the only
course that will save the party in the
future. When the most cowardly kind
of bulldOzing and intimidation is re-
sorted to, as has been done by active
workers in the Hale faction when ring
rule and bribery override and thwart
the will of the people when it costs a
candidate for governor of New Hamp-
shire fortune to secure his nOmina-
ton and election when the vice-pres-
ident of the United States, and, later,
the president and his cabinet officers,
leave their posts to descend to the work
of ward politicians for their own self
ish purposes, it is time for us to cast
about and see whittier we are drifting
The time has gone by and the future is
too OminOus of evil for voters to be
bound down by the rigid drawing of
mara marty lines II Is hanaath he
dignity of American citizens TO accept
anything less than independent suf-
frage at whatever cost. 1t is time to
throw off the yoke and vote and act
according to the dictates of an enlight-
ened manhood. If the result of the
campaign of 90 proves to be a suffi-
