BOSTON, NOV. D.
The State election to-day has been unprece-
dented in intensity of feeling, immensity of
vote polled and enthusiasm over the result,
which is substantial Republican victory.
Before the election the Republicans estimated
that the total vote would be 295,0C0 1900
larger than that cast in 1880, which was the
heaviest polled. They claimed 155 600 for Con-
gresham Robinson, Republican candidate for
Governor, and conceded 10000 to Governor
Butler a gain of 5000 over his vote last year.
The Democrats thought the vote would not
exceed 2S5,000 and claimed 10000 for Butler
and conceded 135, 200 to Robinson.
Returns up to midnight show that the total
vote exceeds the widest imaginations of
either party. Two hundred and thirty-three
cities and towns, including Boston complete,
give Robinson 134,97 and Butler 1858.
Those same places last year gave Butler u.s.,
2l9 and Bishop, Republican, 10l, sos. This ratio
continued throughout the State make the total
vote 80 600, of which Robinson gets 10000 and
Butler 10000, showing gain for Butler over
last year of twelve per cent and gain for the
Republicans of % per cent. The towns yet to
be heard from are, however, mainly Republi-
can strongholds and will probably swell the
majority for Robinson to l5 900 or is 600, which
the Republicans now claim.
The balance of the Republican State ticket
is elected by majorities ranging probably
from 30 100 to 10000. The Republicans have
also elected Council at least eighttenths Re
publican, good working majority in the
Senate and have increased their majority in
the lower braneh Of M th aS s Been at fever

during or since the war, been so thoroughly
aroused or in earnest 1t has been a super
human attempt on the part of the Butler party
to fasten their grip on the States patronage
and place Butler in line for the Presidency.
On the other hand, Buffers opponents have
arisen in their might.

NOT CORRECT.

Some enemy of Mr. Gustav Stengel, the
regular democratic nomi nee for alderman
in the first ward, is seeking his defeat by
saying that he packed the caucus" which
nominated him, and that when in the
council in 1874 he voted 10 reduce the
wages of street laborers. etc. Both state
ments are as false as the heart of the man
who is industriously circulating them.
For days preceding the caucus Mr.. Stem
gel was away from home on business,
and did not return till 1870 O'Clock on
caucus night, consequently he had about
as much to do with that caucus as the
man in the moon: no more. no less. Re-
specting the other charge the ARGUS has
taken pains TO look up the matter, and
finds, from an examination of the records
in the city clerks office, that it is ALSO
lntely without foundation. Mr.. Stengel
has lived ia Rock Island over thirty years.

been regularly nominated, is going to be
elected, in spite of the Vaccinations of

ANOTHER SUICIDE.

Last evening, shortly after9 o'clock, as
a lad named Michael Andrews was return
ing to Davenport from this city. he saw a
young woman deliberately climb over the
railing of the west side of the bridge,
labout thirty feet from the Iowa end of
the bridge) aud as deliberately drop her
self into the river A few cries and the
water closed over her and all was over
Before taking the fatal plunge she laid
her hat and bundle on the bridge, which
were subsequently taken charge of by the
authorities. In the bundle were the fol-
lowing described articles:
A calico wrapper, striped with threads
of blue and brown; new linen handker-
chief, large size, with the initials M p. i"
embroidered in the left hand lower cor
ner, and beneath the letters a small figure

LAMENTABLY WEAK.

AT their convention on Saturday even
ing the republicans put in nomination a
city and township ticket which can easily
be beaten at the polls if the democrats do
not throw awav their opportunity. A
glance at the ticket nominated will require
neither argument nor sophistry TO expose
its inherent weakness, as whole:
Mayor Henry c. Carse.
City clerk Robert Koehler
Treasurer Henry l.. Schill.

der. c. ]. BlombeIg. W. L Brooks ] d.

Mr. j. NJ. Beardsley was re elected
chairman of the city township committee
and the convention adjourned,
On the vote for mayor the convention
was tie between the present incumbent
and DIR. j. w. Stewart-22 for each with
one for j. G. Blythe. After considerable
maneuvering. however, Mr.. Carse was
awarded the hollow compliment by vote
of "a to 81. 1t goes without saying that
the nomination is very distasteful to a
large element of the republican party who
see in Mr.. Carse the conspicuous repre-
sentative of general misgovernment and
if the democrats put in nomination to-
night solid citizen, one who is closely
identified with the best interests of Rock
Island, his election will be foregone con
clusion.

The statistics recently Published re-

prised even those who took the most
,sanguine view of the progress oftheMani-
tobia capital. In ten years the custom
duties have Increased from S47, $40 to
81, 5S7, 327, and from SOL, 1872 in the
year 1881. The money-order business
is the most remarkable. The orders
issued in Winnipeg were $3.50, 600, a
greater amount than the issues at To-
ronto, Montreal, Quebec, and Halifax
combined. In one year, from 1881 to
1882, the foreign imports increased from

of IA, 600 immigrants during the year,
