SUNLIGHT ALL THE WAY.

"Good-bye. Jennie, the road is long,
And the moor is hard TO cross;
But well you know there is danger
In the bogs and the marshy moss
So, keep in the foot path, Jennie,
Let nothing tempt you to stray;
Then you'll get safely over it,
For there's sunlight all the way
Sunlight all the way;
So, never you fear,
Keep q good heart, dear,
For there is sunlight all the way"
The child went of with a blessing
And kiss Of mother-love;
The dRisies were down at her feet,
And the lark was singing above.
On, on in the narrow foot-path-
Nothing could tempt her to stray;
So the moor was passed at nightfall-
There had been sunlight ali the way;
Sunlight all the way;e
And she, smiling, said,
As her bed was spread,
81 had sunlight all the way"
And I, who followed the maiden,
Kept thinking as went,
Over the perilous seas of life
What unwary feet are bent.
II they could only keep the foot-path,
And not in the marshes stray,
Then they would reach the end Of life
Ere the night could shroud the day,
They'd have sunshine all the way;
But the marsh is wide,
And they turn aside,
And the night falls on the day.
Far better to keep the narrow path,
Nor turn to the left or right;S
For if we loiter at the morning,
What shall We do when the night
Falls back on our lonely journey,
And we mourn our vain delayl
Then steadily onward, friends, and we
Shall have sunlight all the way
Sunlight all the way,
Till the journeys DER,
And we reach the shore
OF a anever-ending day.

The following counties give Demo

Adding to the above the majorities Of
1888 in the five counties unheard from,
gives Republican plurality OF 1866.
The FIVE counties viii probably increase
the majorities Of 1888, so that the plur-
atty will reach about 1900. Lorraine

State, 9, 175 majority. Turnbull county,
with two precincts yet to hear from,

TOLEDO, October 15.-The interest in
the election was so great that vast
crowd remained ct political headquar
ters nearly all night. Early this morn
ing when the Republican victory was
assured the enthusiasm found vent in
various ways. Hundreds OF men with
tin horns, Joined by others with torches,
formed IN procession and marched
through the streets. The whole fore
noon has witnessed no abatement OF
interest, especially in the result OF the
Congressional fight. Hurd claims
majority of 200 while Republicans claim
Romeris' election by from 200 to 500.
Returns come in slowly and it may axe
the official vote TO settle the question.
1t is generally conceded that RomeiSS,
Republican for Congress in the Tenth
District, is elected over Hurd by 200 to
500 majority.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, October 10
This days journey was a very long one,
247 miles, and as there were a great
many stops each was necessarily short.
There were twenty-nine places at which
Blaine and Gen. Fremont were called
out, but there were really no speeches
made. In each case Blaine merely con-
graduated the people upon the Ohio
victory and called upon them
to initiate it in Michigan, and
then General Fremont was introduced
At most points where stops were made
the crowds were remarkably large, con-
sidering the population of the region
traversed. The news from Ohio and
Mr.. Blaine's coming together, seemed
to have wrought the people up to high
pitch of excitement, and the enthusi-
asm could not be exceeded. It was
dark when the train reached Howard
City, and here bonfres and torches be
gan to appear. At about 7.15 the train
arrived at Grand Rapids; on the east
side of the river Blaine left the train, ,aand
was escorted by Republican clubs to the
Morton House, where he is to pass the
night. Several thousand people were in
the streets in the neighborhoOd of the
hotel awaiting his arrival, and there
were the usual demonstrations as he
entered the hotel. He will leave in the
morning for Saginaw, making, of course,
a good many stops on the way. General
Fremont Will probably accompany him
during his entire tour through Michi-
gan.

Great cheering followed the reading

Great cheering followed the reading
OF Tilden's letter.
Governor Cleveland was escorted from
the Fifth Avenue Hotel to
the AcadC my o. Music meet
ing, composed of members OF the
different exchanges. He was cheered
all along the route. The crowd almost
prevented the passage of the carriages.
such crush is rarely seen, even
in New York. On the return of Gov
ernor Cleveland he was visited by John
Kelly. General Spinola and Senator
Cullen, of Tammany Hall. Mr.. Kelly
assured Gov. Cleveland Of the sincere
support of Tammany. The Governor
afterwards reviewed from the balcony
of the hotel torchlight procession.
Acres OF people III Madison Square
scattered after the departure of
Governor Cleveland from Fifth Avenue
Hotel for the Academy, but about
5000 remained awaiting his re
turn. The line of march was thronged
with people who gradually driftcd
back out of the square again,
and the crowd kept swelling until
upwards OF $4,000 or 5000 people were
congregated.. There was great and con-
tinued cheering along the route OF the
procession, and Notwithstanding the
wait of an hour before the return of the
Governor to the hotel, the crowd was
bubbling over with enthusia Sm. So
densely packed in Fifth Avenue AID
Broadway were the people that the ser
vices of police were required to clear tie
way for the stages and street cars, which
were blocked at long intervals. At 10
o'clock Governor Cleveland was es-
oo-+aI ont Of ~ ARoHors,x rOrrCrb the
crowd to his carriage. His appearance
was the signal for repetition of the
demonStratIve welcome accorded him
on his first appearance. Men and
women struggled through the crowd Of
the more fortunate near the carriage, to
catch a glimpse of him. They followed
the vehicle for blocks, and their re-
peated cheering was taken up
by the crowd all along the
route, and re-echoed. 1t was like
one long, continued cheer from the
Academy to the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
When his carriage drew up at the Madi-
son Square entrance to the hotel, there
was a spontaneous Outburst OF enthusi-
asm. Cheer on cheer went up from the
Threats of the thousands, which when
heard in Union Square and far up
Broadway and Fifth Avenue sounded
like the rumbling of a heavy
railway train, and shortly after
the distinguished guest made
his appearance on the balcony and the
cheering was long-continued, and if
possible with greater fervor than before.
As the procession of uniformed clubs
and batteries bearing torches and Ian
terms passed, the Murphy battery made
short halt and salute from their
field piece was blended with the popular
acclaim. Cleveland was much. touched
by a visit from a delegation of
the Columbia College Cleveland and
Hendricks campaign club. 1t was nearly
nine o'clock when the reception com
mittee of business men headed by JO-
seph J. O'Donahoe, of the Coffee Elk
change, arrived. They all wore the
badges of their respective associations.

Indicates few scratched tickets. a good

holding of repOr,s from few counties,

down the Republican majority below

Third Dist.ict is very close, but as
Morey, Republican candidate, runs
ahead OF his ticket I32 votes in ClermOnt
county, which makes a change of over
500 votes in favor of the Republicans,
his friends claim his election. The in
dicatiOnS are that Johnson, Republican
candidate for supreme judge, has ma
jOrity in Hamilton county of 5000, and
that he has run ahead of the other can
didate5, Notwithstanding the opposition
OF the liquor interest. If this is con-
firmed it will show that temperance
Democrats scratched their own candi-
date and voted for him.

Democrat, to Congress, over Sinvier,
Republican.
