WoRCEsrER, Mass, Nov. 6-The
election is passing off quietly. Every
indication for large vote. The Re-
publicans are especially active and
confident. In the Eighth ward, the
warden pro tenn. elected was found to
be a minor, after 200 or 300 votes were
cast. 1t was at first feared that the
mistake would be fatal, but law de-
cisions are that ballots cannot be re-
jected.
In Taunton indications point to the
largest vote ever thrown, with large
Republican gains.

NEW YORK.

New YORK, Nov. 6.-The weather
is fine to-day, and the indications are
for large vote. The state officers to
be elected are secretary of state, comp
troller, treasurer, engineer and sur
Veyor and attorney-general. Members
of the legislature are also to be voted
for. Importance attaches to senators
to be elected, as they will participate
in the choice for the next United
States senator. In this city great
interest is shown in the contest
for register and aldermen, these repre-
senting powerful political interests.
The Democrats being divided, it is
impossible to predict the results. Pol
iticianS are also watching the senate
rial contest in the first district, where
Downing, who was removed by Gov.
Cleveland from Office as district attor-
ney of Queens county, is being sup
ported by all the Democratic factions
His competitor is Otis, Republican.
In Brooklyn the chief interest centers
in the contest for mayor, Hendrix be-
ing the Democratic candidate and
Lowe the Republican. Both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans expect that
Maynard, Democratic candidate for
secretary of state, will run consider
ably behind his ticket throughout the
state.
ALBANY, Nov. 6.-The election is
quiet. A heavy vote was polled early
in the Republican wards. Indications
are that Maynard will run ahead of
his ticket in this city. The Demo-
cratic state committee at 10 o'clock
sent out the following to prominent
Democrats: "Uur morning advices
from New York are that the county
Democrats, Tammany and the Ger
man organization report an uneX-
pectedly small scratching of May
nard." Posters are wide spread here
in Albany that Maynard is running
ahead of his ticket.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Three hun
dred and sixty three districts give
Carr 35,117; Maynard, 4587; Russell,
30,508; O'Brien, 5O,651. This vote in
dicates that Maynard will in this city
run about $4,000 behind his associate,
O'Br1en, the latter will have about
10000 majority over Carr, Republican.
New YORK, Nov. Gone hundred
and seventy-eight of 688 election dis
tricts in the city give Carr Rep.), for
secretary of state, 17,103; May
nard Oem) 1860. For attor-
ney general, O'Brien Dem.)
has 21,63O; Russell Rep.), 10,

cut, as was proposed.
NEW DIRK, Nov. 6.-Returns from
487 polling places of the 22O0 in the
state, outside this city, give Maynard
Is, SOC votes, Carr sc, al votes, for Sc
cretary Of state. This vote already
wipes out the majority for Maynard
in New York city and secures the
election of Carr.

cratic is elected. The senate stands

~UDaE THURMAN and Mr.. McDon-
alt have both been in Washington in
the last few days. Being regarded as
presidential candidates they attracted
a great deal of attention, and here is
what a letter writer says of them:
"The manner of these two distin-
guished Democrats differs. Judge
Thurman seems not to be fearful of
his tongue, while of late Senator
Mcdonald appears to regard it as an
unruly member. Thurman laughs
and jokes pleasantly when the possi-
bilities Of the future are suggested by
his brother lawyers. Mcdonald bows
and congresses his lips, Thurman's
face shows no new lines of thought.
Mcdonald has changed so greatly
that his friends talk about it. Nc
Donald used to be as jolly as tar. He
seems now to be laboring painfully to
appear to be grave and sedate.'
It is to be regretted if the bare pos
sibility Of being the standard bearer
Of the Democratic party has changed
ex-senator Mcdonald from a light
hearted. iovial gentleman into grave
and thoughtful old man. Thurman
Is wiser. He does not propose that
the buzzing of the presidential bee
shall rob his life of all pleasure.

New ORLEANS is disturbed over
the manner Of depositing its dead.
The location of that city and the
nature of its soil originally forbade
interment within the city limits, and
the use OF vaults wholly above
ground has been retained to the pres
ent day and even allowed in the heart
of the city. The unhealthfulness of
this system, especially in such eli
mate, is apparent, but hitherto the
natural aversion to innovations in
volving the last offices for the dead
has prevented an agitation of the sub
ject. 1t is suggested that suitable
burial places might be pre-
pared on the Metairie Ridge by
thorough drainage, but incineration
is the only plan that may be adopted
with safety. In fact, it is a necessity
at New Orleans, and it ought to be
put in practice everywhere. The false
sentimentality that shrinks from in
cineration, from the conversion Of the
body into ashes in q short time, in
stead Of leaving it to rot and become
the food of worms, will after awhile
be overcome, and thei crematory will
become the channel for publication as
well as more asonable transition
than the grave. The time is coming
when all bodies will be disposed of by
fire, and through immediate transition
to dust, instead Of the slow and polut-
ing process of decomposition, the liv-
ing will be made less susceptible to dis
ease and death. Scientists have shown
that all the subterranean waters of
Europe carry poisons from the decay
ing dead, and in many places their
use has brought death to entire fami-
lies and more than decimated dis
tricts.

THERE is food for the negro's re-
Election in what the st. Louis Repub-
-lican says regarding the District of
Columbia:
Our colored folks continue to mani
fest much intensity of feeling over
the failure of the civil rights bill to
stick, but somehow they have always
been silent and unconcerned about a
very much greater neglect of their
rights than the lack of such legiSla-
ton as the civil rights bill can possibly
be. 1t is the notorious fact that con-
gfess took and keeps tho right of suf-
frage from the people of the District
of Columbia because of the large ne
gro population of the district, which
enabled the colored brother to domi-
nate its politics and control its local
government. Here is an insult to
which the colored people of the coun-
try have tamely submitted; an insult
which has elected from them no re-
sentiment. Why do not they give eX-
preston to their sentiments on this
subject? Is it any the better for them
that the white people of the district
have shared in the disfranchisement
Misery may love company, but the
companionship of his white brother
in this matter should not blind the
eyes of the negro to the undeniable
fact that it was distrust of the colored
man that worked the disfranchisement
of the district.
