Here is a mysterious demurrer to the state

and what explanation can be given Of it,
We read, too, among these refreshing figures
that there are 9.5s1, 153 women, and only
s,667, SIS men in France who have been
married, and it would appear to favor them
with better chance Of marriage than the
men. Indeed, ten women marry there to
every nine men. Perhaps the variance
comes from detection In favor

The Colorado senatorship.


CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Ex-Senator Tabor, of
Colorado, who is at the Palmer, was asked II
he was making any effort to succeed Senator
Hill.
The struggle in the legislature this win
ter" he replied, will be an interesting one.
cause there are so many candidates
Hill, Chaffee, Secretary Teller, ex-Gov
Routt and others. AS for myself, have DOT
yet formed any plans politically, As private
business has occupied my entire attention Of
late. Apparently the strength at present
seems to DC about equally divided among
Hill, Teller and Routt, but what the few DEM
ocrats in the legislature will do it is as yet
impossible TO tell"
From conversations had with other promi-
nent Colorado politicians, who have been at
tending the live stock meetings at Chicago,
it would appear that there is an impression
among them that an arrangement has been
entered into between Teller and Routt,
by which the former is to be an
ostenslble candidate up to the
time of the caucus and he is TO withdraw in
favor Of Routt, Teller and Routt having a
majority of the Republican votes in the legis-
lature. Others assert, however, that Teller
is simply playing ROutt again. 1t is said that
Teller is the leading man, and that II he
does not get it the senatorship will go to Hill
Or Tabor. Concerning this matter Tabor de-
clined to talk.

ST. Louis few days ago, was fond Of telling
how he came TO leave Germany for America. He
said that when q boy = veteran soldier of the
American revolutionary war, who visited his
fathers house. extolled the United States and
gave raptnro1s descriptions OF the country.
That soldier came over with the Hesslans aud
Waldeckers and fought under old General Kny-
phausen al Long Island against the Americans.
They were, as the world knows, mercenary
troops, hired from the petty princes Of Germany
by the old King George III. Of England TO put
down the rebellion in the colonies. The old sol
der had been through the Jerseys and Pennsyl-
vania and learned Whist it was to be in land OF
liberty. lie advised young Vogel to come to
America "snd get rieh," and his advice was
followed.

public lamentation oyer the election of a

has so long enjoyed the fairness of the spoils,

Especial Telegram TO the Gl.be. |


LONDON, Nov. 16.-The Tablet, the chief
Chatholic journal, and the Catholic Times,
both print long editorial articles warmly con-
graduating America on Mr. Cleveland's
election. The Belfast Hers says Mr.. Blaine
was defeated because of his action in the Nc
Sweeney case and concludes that the whole
business will prove useful lesson to Amer
lean statesmen in future. Mr.. McSweeney
and his friends are TO be congratulated on
the blow they have struck, and the effective
warning they have administered to the Amer
lean statesmen. 1t will teach them that if
they neglect the interests of the Irish-Ameri-
can citizens they will be sure to
pay a heavy penalty some day. The
Financial Nelos says: ''The Tribune
continues to help the Gould faction to prop
up the prices Of their stocks by pretending
that the vote is not quite decided. Gould
himself knows better. He knows that the
Pacific railroad jobbery is at an end, and his
only anxiety is to get out OF his holdings be-
fore the public begins to understand the sit
uation as well as he does"

INC CONGO Cnnfe-ence.

BERLIN, Nov. 15.-The Congo conference
was formally opened to-day by Bismarck in
the dining hall of his residence, being the
same room the conference of 1878 was held.
After the usual preliminary work Bismarck
delivered a short speech TO the delegates,
specific in tone and evidently giving gen
aral satisfaction. At the sug.
gestiop Of Count De Launay,
the Italian delegate, Prince Bismarck was
unanimously elected president of the con-
ference. Raindre, councillor, French em-
bassy, Schmidt, the German vice consul Of
st. Petersburg, and Count William Bismarck
were appointed secretaries. 1t was unani-
mOusly agreed the proceedings would be kept
secret. The next meeting of the delegates
will probably be on the 18th instant. The
conference is likely to continue for several
weeks. Huge maps of Africa are HING upon
the wall and the tables are covered with
pamphlets, books and maps relating to
Africa. After the adjournment of the CON
ference fifteen hundred members of the
Berliner Krieges Verein, with banners,
marched past Bismarck's residence. Bis
marck, from an open window, repeatedly
bowed to the Yerien, and was loudly cheered'
Stanley will not be admitted to the delibera-
tiOns of the conference.

The Tribune" Admits It at Last.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The Tribune
says to-day: THE official
count is so nearly over that there can no
longer be doubt about the result Gov.
Cleveland is elected president by plurality
ola little oyer LOO in a vote of nearly
1000, 600 in this state. On the morning az
ter election We believed there was q plu-
rallty a few hundred less than this
on the other side and were subsequently
confirmed in that belief by confident state
ments received by the commissioners as 70
errors and worse in the counts in Albany,
Ulster, Sullivan, New York, Kings and other
counties The Albany fraud proved TO effect
only a county Office, where It reversed the
result, aud IN the other cases the boards of
eanvassers have made only small reductions.
In this city an exaggerated idea of
the number Of defective ballots improperly
rejected seems to have been adopted because
Of the occasional report Of the ''thirty-six de-
feetive" when the inspectors really meant
''One defective with thirty-six names on it.
Elsewhere many think Butler votes were
counted for Cleveland, but With the ballots
destroyed the canvass did not estab-
lish 1t. Until the New York
and Brooklyn figures were developed
We thought there was reason to believe that
the plurality would not go above 500 either
way. Though over double that, It is still a
very small vote, on which such momentous
consequences hang. We profoundly regret
the result, but ii is the duty of every good
citizen TO accept It and to give to the presi-
dent elect the respect Ae Office demands. +"

NHEN the GLOBE, prior to the Chicago
convention, called attention TO the fact that
while Cleveland had 1872 600 majority for
Governor over Folger, he only polled 500
more votes than Gen. Hancock did when
Gen Garfield carried New York by 81, 600. it
gave food for thought. The close call of the
10000 Governor on the 4th inst. shows that
the effort TO profit by statistics was wise !.
Success in the pivotal and vital state of New
YORK was evidently chiefly due to Republican
stupidity and blunaers.
