Department Clerks arranging for Tues.
days Election.
WASHINGTON, D. c., October S.-Not-
withstanding a popular belief that the civil
service law would make department clerks
disinclined t6 go home and vote, the Ohio
Republican Association has furnished this
year a large number Of certificates to those
who desire to avail themselves OF the half
fare rates allowed by the railway com.
panies, and 1t is thought that the mum.
ber Of Ohioans who will go home to vote
this wear will exceed that Of any year
since the election OF President Garfield
While the law forbids that any time more
than the usual thirty days annual leave
may be taken by those going home, ar.
rangemenis have been made with such
clerks as have not yet taken their leave to
share sufficient of their time to allow their
less fortunate fellows o chance to make the
trip TO Ohio. This arrangement Is made
satisfactory 10 all concerned, and the law
Ia not violated. In few cases where ar.
rapgemenls cannot be made pains are sc.
cured through the fundamentally Of local
committees.

San FRANclico, CAL. October S.-Miss
Hill, claiming to be the wife OF Senator
Sharon, being interviewed to-day, says:
The reason the marriage was kept
secret was because Of sharon's de-
sire to be reelected Senator
from Nevada. He said II the marriage
was made public, some woman OF Phila-
delphia would raise row and spoil his
chances. She says the marriage
contract was signed in Sharon's
office, over the Bank OF California;
that he afterwards tried to recover II,
but she always refused to give 1t up,
and to insure it's safety! had 1t sewn up
in jacket which she always wore.
Her reason for having the Senator ar.
rested was, she states, because she
had learned he was going East TO marry
young lady in New York and abe was deter.
mined to preyentit. She said abe spoketo
Sharon about his proposed marriage, saying:
Senator, you know you have no right 10
marry that woman" He replied, "Baby,
It's all right; l will only be gone few
weeks." "But," continued Miss Hill, 81

A Proposed Summer Resort-How II,
Was Rnubbea nj Newport.

|
NEw YoRE, October SIN the early part
Of last month Jay Gould's yacht, the Alta
lanta, put in at New London, Conn.,, and
the rich man OF Wall street had long con-
ference with local real estate agents. II
leaked out that he was intent on purchas-
ing a big tract Of shore property adjacent
to Osprey Beach, and from apparently good
authority came the statement that Mr..
Gould had a project on foot to create q
popular summer resort which should out
shine Newport. Rumor had It that some
OF the blue -blooded cottage owners OF New
port had snubbed the Western Union
magnate; that he had made arrangements
TO buy handsome site and erect msgni-
cient summer residence, when some Of the
elite who were likelsto be made his neigh.
bors interposPd substantial objections, and
before be could secure title to the plot Of
ground which he desired, the deed was in
other hands, and the millionaire speculate,
was coolly notified that he must look fur
ther for building lot. The little man is
reputed to have made'an ejaculation which
did not 60 far toward soothing the polite
ears OF his aristocratic hearers, and he with
drew with threats Of most picturesque
character bubbling out from between his
classic Delaware Delaware county lips.
~ About a.week ago three orstour gentle.
men bought tickets al: tie 6Sand Central
Station for Milford, Conn. They were Mr..
Gould's friends. When they returned to
this city on the following day they brought
back contract which gave them the
ownership OF Burns Point, a pleasant spot
the site Of old Fort Trumbull Of Rsvolu-
tionary fame-on the Sound, couple Of
miles or so from the village Of Milford.
One OF the interested parties said to
reporter yesterday that a large sum ol
money would be spent TO make the point
attractive. A park is to be laid out cover
ing several acres, and little inland lake
adjoining Is to be made as attractive as
liberal expenditures can make 1t. A big |
hotel, after the style of the eElberon, at |
Long Branch, with score or more Of cot
tages attached, Ia TO be erected close by the |
waters edge. It will be magnificent in all |
It's appointments.
Burns Point, soon to be known by less
plebeian name, has many natural attrac-
lions. Among the purchasers Of lots are
named Superintendent Stevenson, .of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail.
road Company, and Mr.. Samuel Tilden, Of
iramercy Park.
1t is expected that the hotel and its sur
will all be in readiness Tor the
opening next season. New York architects
nave been asked by the Gould syndicate TO
prepare designs for the big hotel and cot
ages, and the American Yacht Club is
plans for a handsome boat
house to adorn the new resort.

candidate for Governor, said: ~ am in

Necessary, and on every roadside, and on
every stree, and thoroughfare, and in all
public places. The more public the better" !"
The Republican cry has been: "a school
house on evGr7 hill and no saloon In the
valley"
The tariff has also been a prominent
issue. The Democratic platform favors "a
tariff Tor revenue only by a gradual but
pesistentrSduction Of protective duties. +"
The Republican platform 'insists upon
such evenuelaws as will encourage Ameri.
can industries aud protect American labor
in order that the American workipgman
shall have fair days wages for fair days
work, and tend 10 assure him permanent

forced the fighting on the tariff issue.

DEs MoISEs, IA, October S.-But one
day remains until the battle OF the ballots
will be fought, and the Republicans OF
Iowa need have no tear ti the result.
Never before has there been such universal
hard work by all parties as this year.
The Temperance Democrats ssampeded
on account Of their party having espoused
the cause Of the saloon; the Irish refused to
render further assistance to the party that
80 boldly espoused the cause Of their worst
enemies in their open advocacy OF the free
trade heresy. General Weaver traded the
Greenback vote 10 Kinne in lieu OF his
receiving the Democratic vote for United
States Senator, but the goods refused to be
delivered, and every Greenback orator Of
any consequence ia stumping the State for
the Republican ticket. The Democracy
feel that they are leading a forlorn hope,
but, haye TOO much grit to die without max
ing desperate effort for life, aAd their
campaign management shows conclusively
that not only hes the bar'l been opened,
but the head knocked entirely out OF it.
The tariff Issue has been prominent
one In the campaign.
BURLINGTON, October 81. A. Burdett,
editor OF the HawEeyt, says: 1t Is very dill.
ficult to form an estimate Of the result Of
the election in this State, except in very
general way. The rem Of the uncertGit ;
~ which attends any calculation in detail
Is the disregard that is felt among the rank
and file OF both parties for party lines, and
the prominence that is given the prohib:r
tion issue.
The most sanguine Democrats only claim
a close vote, with Republican majority
Of from 5000 to 10000. My own opinion
is that the Republican State ticket will
have about $4,000 majority, with the ex.
ception OF Judge Reed, who will run be.
