The Boston Herald's Augusta correspon-
dent, whom we suppose the Herald consid-
ers trustworthy, telegraphs that the result
lin Mainel far exceeds the most sanguine
expectations of the shrewdest political proph-
cts of The Republican party" In its editorial
columns the Herald asserts that "Mr. Blaine
was known TO have placed his estimate at
10000" and therefore the victory is not
much of victory after all. The Herald
boasts that it prints in its news column
facts without reference to their effect. In
its editorial columns. however, it evidently
reserves the right to reject facts and substi-
tute alleged facts, as it does in this case.
Mr. Blaine never predicted in public or pri-
vate that Gov. Robbie would have 20, 900, and
no leader, no matter how sanguine, ever
talked about 25,OO0 The Herald is strug-
Cling hard, but not very successfully, to con-
ceal its disappointment at the result in
Maine. Better adopt the course of the
Transcript, which frankly confesses that the
Republicans have won great victory.

The New York Herald is engaged in the
contemplate work of stirring up race preju-
dice by asserting that Mr.. Blaine if elected,
would make Frederick Douglas member of
his cabinet, and that the colored people of
New York, Boston and other cities are solid
for him. The World seeing that an issue
of this kind can only prove disastrous to
Cleveland advises the Herald to stop this
foolish business before it has done CleVe-
land irreparable damage, and justly observes
that "ltis too late in the century for that sort
of politics.

Ex-senator Grady of New York, in
speech to the committee on organization of
Tsmmany Hall the other night sharply az
raigned Sow. Cleveland. Mr.. Grady said he
had no personal grievance against the Gov

be the greatest blight that ever befel the
Democratic party, 'for his nomination was
the result Of the acts of schemers, railroad
presidents, contractors, Standard Oil men
and monopolists." Furtherm re Mr.. Grady

Sometime ago when the PRESS gave the
details of one of the squabbles of the Demo-

the PRESS was drawing on its imagination
for its facts, and that harmony reigned.
When necessity for concealraent no longer

they spent their time in squabbles among
themselves when they should have been

The situation in Naples is indeed terrible.
The deaths from cholera number 300 day,
and all the efforts of the authorities to pre-
vent the spread of the disease are nullfied
by The people, who conceal cases of the dis
ease and refuse to take ordinary sanitary
precautions. The most of the doctors have
either fed in terror or been driven away by
the fanatical populace who instead of availing
themselves of medical assistance and the
remedies and preventives which the medical
art has revealed, are parading the
streets and shouting into the dumb ears of
their patron saints appeals for mercy and de-
liverance. The city has a population of
nearly half million souls, and its sanitary
condition, like that of most italian cities, is
bad

The Democratic press is circulating the
story that the majority in Augusta cost the

false, but that makes no difference. The

1t appears that Gen. Buffers fusion cleo
toral scheme, like everything else which he
inyents, had its origin in his love for the
workingmen. At any rate that's what he
told ", fern Iaudience Tuesday. He
hoped, he sid in substance, to gain enough
electors to lod the balance of power, and
compel one of the parties to promise justice
to the workingman. If his scheme works it
is altogether probable that promise of lib
eral dispensation of patronage would be
be much more effective il conciliatng the
"old man. than any promise to do justice to
the workingmen.

Special Telegram TO the GLOBE.
New YORK, March 1S.-A sharp advance
in Rock Island and Pullman relieved the
monotony this morning and there was bet
ter feeling in Northwestern and ST.
Paul. The showing of the latter for the year
past is much more favorable than the bears
had led us to believe. There was fair bust
ness in Pacific Mail, though few care to in
vest in it at present figures.
West Shore bonds were steady and
trife better than they closed
last evening. Stocks were entirely neglected
and the few referred to were about all that
made up the market. Canadian Pacific has
such small amount of floating stocks in the
street that it is not considered desirable to
touch on the short side, as manipulation may
put it higher later in the season. The feel
ing in New York appeared to be more hope
full for a settlement of the difficulties
among the western lines, and
there was some good buying of
them during the day. There will be about
$500, 900 in gold shipped tomorrow. The earn
ings of the Northwestern for the second
week in March decreased $50, 900; st. Paul,
$4,000; Omaha, $4,000; and Canadian
Pacific, 1000. There was squirt in San
Francisco common during the afternoon
from 90 to 81 and the preferred rose from As
to so. Denver and Texas Pacific also ad-
vanced. The market though dull, was quite
firm at finish.
Henry Clews & Co. say: "The market
was dull, stale and extremely improbable to
all whom it concerned; business at exchange
being, except at intervals, almost at a stand
still, and totally devoid of marked feature.
Much of the paralysis was attributed to the
uneasiness caused by the Northwestern
traffic meeting which was in
session in Chicago, and the result of
which was not altogether satisfactory, as it
appeared to be amere temporary patch up,
Our Chicago correspondents wired us that
the action taken might sustain rates for a
short time longer but would not check the
present falling off in receipts. Increased
ease in the London market produced by our
recent shipments of gold, is causing nearer

fat cattle and for select the form
er rates were obtained, but the feeling
was weak, and prices averaged 1O@l5c
lower. The other markets remain in about
the same condition as ours, with no life to
the trade. Butchers and Gamers stock is in
moderate request, but stockers and feeders
are dull. Export steers weighing 1,4Oo to
l. 500 pounds sold at Sc. 100000; medium to
choice steers, l, 100 to !, 400 pounds, at $3.50
@6.25, lighter steers, 1000 to L. 100 pounds,
at So. 25C05.5 So Fresh receipts were 1000,
against 1856 last Tuesday.
The hog market was dull and weak, with
prices 5(01Oc lower on all grades. Packers
and shippers grades sold at S64007. 90 and
selected at ST. 1907 90; choice light, s6.15@
6. 10; skips and common light, S5.25@6 Is.
Receipts II 900.
The arrivals of sheep were 1000 above
those of last Monday or 1000 for to-day.
The shipping and local demandwas light and
the market dull, with prices SOC lower than
ON Tuesday last.
Crosby & Co. say: 'The crowd is bearish
and would be inclined to sell wheat freely,
but does not do so on weak spots at these
prices, fearing scoop similar to the one
made last week This probably is the occa-
sion of May closing above CSC, rather to any
buying or supporting influence. Bad crop
reports continue to come in, but attract less
attention in view of the spring rains now in
progress here and west. Corn
was more independent of wheat
to-day. The scalping element is
rather bullish on lighter receipts and good
demand for the low grades and with light
trading this was sufficient to give market its
irmness.n
Milmine, Bodman & Co., say: ''We think
the bearish feeling here now is quite general
and think the market may sell lower 1t
probably will 60 down now until the short
line becomes larger, then we may get some
reaction Some of our friends here ask if we
think the market will go below SOC
for May wheat. We answer if that
winter wheat crop promises fair, the average
on first April market will most likely sell be-
low 9Oc and probably below soc, but after
all there is no use making these guesses SC
far in the future. We cannot expect to dc
|
sion of the market from day to day and find
we miss it often enough at this without at
tempting to look into the far future. We
still contend that there is nothing in the
present situation warranting present values
and further decline we think probable.'
Crittenden q Harvey say ''We look fol
some rally before seeing lower prices, but
think better stay on seller side of market on
rallies as long as long as local feeling con-
tinues as unsettled and bearish as at present
We look for corn to sell at very much better
prices, especially if the weather should prove
rainy and unsettled, and if the demand
keeps pace with the supply there will
be nothing lost in buying at current prices.
We regard it hazardous to make short sales
to stand on, and yet would not advocate
much buying. Prices are way up but parties
who have controlling interests can shape val
ues to suit their inclinations, md when the
right time comes will probably inaugurate a
lively bull movements
