WASHINGTON, November 9.-The talk that
has been INDUCED in by correspondents of
Republican newspapers about Judge Fol-
gers cheerfulness over his overwhelming
defeat is far from being in accordance with
the facts. | have seen and talked with the
defeated aspirant for gubernatorial hon.
ors, and, being familiar with his appear
ance prior to the election, / was astonished
at the remarkable change for the worse
presented by him. He has every appear
ance of man who had just recovered from
q prolonged illness, and in every word and
gesture be betrays the fact that his repu-
diation by the people of his State has
told mightilx upon him. His oEerthr9Ei
was so complete and thorough that he
can scarcely yet realize it, and his friends
are seriously alarmed as to the effect it'll may
have upon his health. He transacted little
business to-day, but remained locked in his
private Office, apparently given up to con-
temptation Of the sad wreck OF his party,
and the sudden and effeetual halt called in
his political career. He refused to talk at
length concerning the result, either in
New York or elsewhere, merely saying
that the magnitude of Cleveland's majority
had surprised the public quite as much as
ii did him.

The Druggists.

CLEVELAND, November 9.--At the fore
noon session of the National Wholesale
Drug Association reports from committees
were made as follows: On working of COM
hinations by Peter Van Shaack, Of Chicago;
adulteraton of drugs, by c. b. Allaire, OF
Peoria; weights and measures, by A. A.
Meltier, Of ST. Louis, and on legislation, by
W. A. Noys. of St. Paul. The last report
created prolonged discussion. 1t was ia,
vorable 10 the abolition of the internal
revenue tax on articles dealt in by mem:
bers. In the debate the only difference OF
opinion was as to whether this abolition
should be immediate or gradual. 1t was
voted to appoint committee on internal
revenue laws to meet next year in New
York City.
At the afternoon session the committee
reported on glass, glassware, paints and
oils credits, collections and cash; dis
counts and contracts for proprietary medi
cines, and other articles. Standing CON.
mittees were appointed. and the Associa.
tion adjourned 20 meet in New York on the

LATEST RETURNS FROM THE STATES.

NEW YoRK, November 9.-The Times
says: Complete returns from the counties
now being received increase the majority
of Cleveland, for Governor, to 196, 900, and
that the official vote will make the
msjority not under 100000.
New York, November 9-Later retHrns
continue TO swell Cleveland's majority,
until il is now over 10000. The counties
that remain in the Republican column are
so few they look lonesome, and the num-
Der is likely TO decrease when the complete
returns are received. Instead of over forty
counties in the State giving Republican
majOritieS the number IS reduced TO ten
ana may not exceed eight, and even these
give Very meagre majOrities compared
Siih former elections. Late returns show
additional Democratic gains in Con-
grsSsmen. New York elected Demo-
Gratis in every Congressional dis
elected from Brooklyn. The delegation in
this State stands tweRty-one Democratic to
thirteen Republican in place Of thirteen
Democrats in the present Congress. The
latest information increases the number of
Democ ats in the Assembly, making it quite
certain the lower house OF the Legislature
will be twO-thirdS Democratic. The Demo-
Gratis will thus have from forty to forty
four majority in that branch, and from
forty-siI TO forty-eight majority on joint
ballot. Gen. Slocum's majority for Con-
gressmen-at large and William c. Reiger's
for Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals,
will reach, if II does not exceed, 125, 900.
CIeVeIand's Majority.

A Pair orPrecious seoundreIs.

OMAHA, NEB, November 9.-About ten
days ago two young men, giving their
nsmes as William Henry and Edward Roth,
arrived in Omaha from New York, repre-.
senting themselves as capitalists. They
rented the reconstructed Cozzens house,
and remaining it the Windsor, announced
that they were going to furnish and open
it in first-class yle. They agreed to pay
8, 600 rent per year, but obtained posses
sion without putting up dollar. They
next ordered furniture, carpets, crockery,
and other equipments to the amount
of nearly $4,000, but tie goods
we're not delivered, as the money was not
forthcoming, and our merchants antici-
pated croOkedness. Henry and Roth then
drew a check on a New York bank for
$25, 900 and deposited it with the Nebraska
National for collection, but it was not paid.
Roth, on the strength Of this draft, pur.
chased small bill of goods at a dry goods
store and gave a check on the Nebraska
National, and it was thrown out. Last
evening be hired team and buggy aud
fled with his wife and now the liyeryman
is hunting for his rig. Henry is still here,
and admits an attempt to perpetrate big
swindle, but owing to the sagacity Of in.
tended victims it failed. Henry's real
name is Purvis, and that Of Roth is Fred
Watkins.

date for Congress in the Second Mississippi
district, opposing Van II. Manning, the
Democratic nominee, is in the city. In an
interview he asserts that bulldozing was
practiced In Tallshatchie county, where an
election was prevented from being held
under pretense of fear of small pox, which
deprived him of 500 votes. and one box in
DeSota county, where the judges refused to
hold an election, which deprived him OF
200 votes. Notwithstanding all these, he
claims his election on the returns that have
been made by 1,770 majority.

The independent and Labor Vote.
PHILADELPHIA, November 9.-Returns of
the Stewart vote have been received from
only a few counties in the State. They
show q slight increase in the counties where
the Wolfe vote Of last year was light, and
very decided decrease where the Wolfe
Vote was heavy. If the proportion shown
BY the returns received should bold through
out the State. the vote for Stewart would
not exceed thirty thousand and Pattison
would have a majority over both
Republican candidates. This however, is
not probable. If the falling oil should be
in the proportion shown by the returns re-
Ceived from counties outside OF Philadel-
phia, Stewards vote would be about $4,000.
1t is not probable that the vote for Wolfe
in 1881, nearly fifty thousand, has been ex-
CCeded by the vote for Stewart this year.
The other Independent Republican candi-
dates poll a somewhat heavier vote than
Stewart. Stewards vote in the city OF Phil
adelphia is about eight thousand. 1t is i'm
possible TO estimate Armstrong; vote in
the state yet, as it was so small that very
little attention is being paid TO it.

ent Senate stands 32 Republicans AMI Is
Democrats. The House stands l22 Republi-
cans and 10 Democrats.
