 ceded by FOraker-The Returns Noe
 All In Yet, But Enough to Forecast
 the Result.
 CINCINNATI, Oct. 10.-Ihe Democratic clubs here claim the election of HoadIey by 8, GOO majority. The Republican committee con- cedes the election of Hoadley by very small majority. Both parties agree that the legis- lature will be uncomfortably close, with the chances in favor of the Republicans. There are no figures in the possession of either party warranting any prediction.
 CINCINNATI, Oct. 1O.-In this city and Hamilton county from what can be learned from the incomplete returns the Republicans sentatives. The Senator is probably General Brown. The Representatives are Peet, Striker, Wrinkler and possibly SpiegeI. This information was telegraphed Governor Foster by Tom Campbell There ara nine teen candidates, nine Republicans, five Dem ocrats and five reform Democrats who announce their intention to contest the election if it re- suits according to the indications. The Democratic contestants will be from the leg isIasiva ticket principally. Those of the Re- publicans are on the State ticket, while the reform Democrats will embrace both leeisla- tive and county offices in their petitions.
 z p. mt now looks as though the Sen ate will stand 20 Democrats and 13 Republi- cans. This estimate allows three Democrats from Hamilton and one Democrat and one Republican from Cuyahoga county.
 COLUMBUS, Oct 1O-10 p. m.-Returns re- ceived up to this hour indicate a majority for Hoadley and the entire Democratic ticket of 10, 600, with possibly the exception of the Republican candidate for Lieutenant Gov ernor, who is running largely ahead of his ticket Chairman Ogilvie of the Republican State committee comedies Hoadley's election by 5000 majority and has telegraphed to that effect to all Republican chairmen in the State. The estimates on both branches of the Legislature from various sources indicate the complexion to be as follows-although official returns may slightly change it: Sen ate, g Democrats, 12 Republicans; House, 60 Democrats, 45 Republicans, & majority on joint ballot of 26.
 CINCINNATI, Oct. 1O.-AE this time, 12 p. m, Judge Foraker comedies Hoadley's cleo ton in the State by 5000 majority. The leg islature is still in doubt and nothing impar- tant as yet All is very quiet at the Demo- cratic and Republican headquarters

touched my hand, and spark passed.
When the children kiss each other

What the Bonded Whiskey Bill Is

Under the law the revenue tax on
spirits need not be paid at the date Of
manufacture, but the whisky may. in.
stead go at once into one Of the Gov
ernment "bonded warehouses" located
in every revenue district, called "store.
keeper" There it may remain, at the
option OF the owner, so long as he
pleases not to exceed certain period
axed by law, thus giving him an oppor-
tunity to place it on the market as the
state Of the trade may call for it.
1t happens that there is now, and has
heen for the year past, a very large
quantity of whiskey thus in bond, and
the period when, by law, it must come
out, and the heavy tax be paid in the
shape of stamps put on and cancelled
by the Government gaugers, has nearly
elapsed. The whskev manufacturers
are very anxious that they should not
he forced, at present to take it out oi
bond, and pay the tax. They base their
objection on the alleged overstocked
market, and say that they could 1t find
ready sale now, and that the heavy tax
will bankrupt them. Others say that the
object is simply TO avoid paying the tax
at present, In the hope that it will soor
be stricken off by Congress. Be this al
it may, they have been, with tremendou
energy, pressing bill to extend, ny two
wears, the period during which
whisky may remain in hond. and sucl

THEY DIDN'T THINK.

BY PH9BE CARY.
Once trap was bai.ed
With piece of cheese;
It tickled SO little mouse
It almost made him sneeze.
An old rat said, There's danger
Be careful where you go!'
"Nonsense," said the other.
Il don't think you know"
So he walked in boldly;
Nobody in sight;
First he took a nibble,
Then he took bite.
Close the trap together
Snapped as quick as wink,
Catching pousey fast there
Cause he didn't think.
Once little turkey,
Fond of her own way,
Wouldn't aek the old ones
Where to go or stay.
Said she, "Pm not baby,
Here I am half grown;
Surely!I am big enough
To run around alope!"
Off she went; but somebody
Hiding, aw.her pass;
Soon. like snow, her feathers
Covered all the grass;
So,she made supper
For sly young mink,
Cause she was 80 headstrong
That she wouldn't think.
Once there was robin
Lived outside the door,
Who wanted to go inside
And hop upon the aoor.
"No, no." said the mother,
"You must stay with me;
Little birds are safest
Sitting in a tree!"
IL don't care" said robin.
And gave his tail a fling;
II don't think the old folks
Know quite everything"
Down he flew, and kitty seized him,
Before he'd time to think:
"Ohw he cried. ''I'm sorry,
But didn't think"
Now. my little children,
You who read this song.
Don't you see what trouble
Comes of thinking wrong3
Can't you take a warning
From their dreadful fate,
Who began their thinking
When it was too late2
Don't think there's always safety,
Don't suppose you know more
Than anybody knows
Who has gone BEFORE --.-.-
But when you're warned ofsruin.
Pause upon the brink.
And don't go under headlong,
Cause you didn't think.

WRITTEN IN BLOOD.

B. LoNGRIGG,
The Labor enquirer., 1883-11-17

A king is standing insult to the intel
ligence of the nineteenth century; a
hereditary foe to humanity and freedom;
a relic of the dark ages a perpetual re-
minder of all the countless wrongs, op-
pressiohs and woes inflicted by, tyrants
upon mankind. As such he should be
treated by all VINO uphold the principles
of democracy. There is no sort of con-
sistency in pretending to believe in re-
publicanism and raising hosannas to the
latest defendant of foolish, weak and
wicked dynasty. The French mind is
logical. The Parisians see the absurdity
Of their being supposed as citizens of a
free republic to tender an enthusiastic
welcome to one who in his own land has
trampled out the sparks of liberty in
blood. So they expressed their real sem
timents in boots and groans. Emphat-
-lcally they did the right thing in the
right place.-Pa PaIladium of Labor.
