The Very Latest.

At O'clock this morning the news from
New York is that the Tribune estimates the
plurality for Blaine at 1000, while the
Times and Sun make it about the same for
Cleveland. AS we have said,' the
matter cannot and will not be determined un-
til the official vote is known and declared.
Mr.. Blaine himself, in speech in Augusta,
said he believed he had been fairly elected,
and every effort must be made to defend the
sacredness of the ballot

A VERY ''horsey" wedding is advertised to take
place at Far Rockaway. l.. l., next week. The
word advertised is used in this connection with
due elaboration, although the parties concerned
are of the Long Island elite, and did not insert
their little lad" in the papers after tile fashion
in vogue with the vulgard herd vino only
get into print at so much a line.
The bride in the coming wedding is described
as young, beautiful and very wealthy; the groom
is handsome, rich and sportsman. A sports
man. gentle reader, is not precisely the same
thing as a sporting man, although there be some
who see no great difference. In the classic
parlance of Long Island sportsman is man
who drives in gorgeous attire and rides through
the fields following hounds, which in turn are
following an anise seed scent previously dis
tributed. This is called fox-hunt, and the
persons participating are called sportsmen, and
sportswomen, because their antics cause so much
amusement to the farmers who know how to ride.
The wedding ceremony which unites the beauti
full and wealthy couple above described will be
performed at high noon, and one hun
dred members of the fox club, to which
both bride and groom belong, will be in
attendance, clothed in all their glory of pink
velvet hunting coats and caps. After the cere
mony the bride will change her dress, join the
crowd, and ali will dash off over the country for
an anise seed hunt. The bride will probably be
allowed to capture the article used as substi
tute for fox brush, and which will be put in
proper place fence or bush. Then the
happy pair will return home, eat their wedding
dinner, and depart upon tour. This marriage
is expected to be the event of the season III arts

DID anybody ever hear of a Republican of
any prominence Or a Republican paper of re-
spectability talk of violence and revolution in
case any State or even the entire country
voted in certain way7 The Republican
party is not that kind of an organization The
Democratic party, on the contrary is; it in
herits it; it has been handed down to it
from 1888, and the not forgotten days of 1861.
The Republican party is pledged to lawful
means and to abide by the will of the people

THE LAW VERSUS LAwLBssNBss.

Good people must depreeate and condemn
the evident spirit of lawlessness that actuates
the Democratic party at this critical juncture
of affairs. The peaceful and undisturbed
methods of the law will lead to a peaceable
and just solution of the mighty problem that
has now for two days stirred the Republic to
its depths. Recklessness and defiance of the
methods prescribed by the law of the land
might result in disasters, the magnitude of
which no man may measure. The spectacle ola
man occupying tie present position of Thomas
A. Hendricks addressing greatly excited
crowd of partisans and declaring 1--WE will
not submit to being counted out this time" is
simply amazing. What call is there for such
incendiary hints nowf Where is there even
the least indication of resort to fraud or
trickery against the Democratic candidates.
The Democratic organs are responsible for
the overweight condition of the public mind.
AS early as Tuesday evening, when there
was no possibility of knowing anything con
corning the result of the days ballot
ing, the most preposterous claims were
confidently put forth; New York, for instance,
would ego $4,000, 10000, or 100000 for
Cleveland 'Illinois, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts, are in doubt" wisconsin and
Michigan are surely Democratic" and other
equally absurd and extravagant asset tons
purposely calculated to excite unwarranted
confidence in the breasts of Democrats. These
papers knew when they gave utterance to
such predictions that they would not and
could not be sustained. And when the re-
ports began coming in, and the inevitable
disappointment" followed, their readers
among the Democratic masses were goaded to
desperation by unwarranted hints of fraud
and appeals to violence to prevent the con-
summation of something that had no exist
ence in fact. This is no time for such talk,
while the thoughtless, and worse, the vicious,
are so greatly excited.
The Democratic party is not the one to talk
about the danger Of being Counted out"

forward to do its best, despite the palpable
and undeniable fact that it has been Counted
out" in advance of not less than twenty
seven electoral votes in the solid
South. The Democratic party should
be the last to cry fraud, with the record it
has of having sought to buy the votes of
Florida, South Carolina, Louisiana and Oregon.
The leaders Of that party including Mr.. Bar
mum, chairman of its national committee can
lay no claim to superior virtue and honesty.
Mr.. Barnum himself was instructed in cipher
to expend 81, 900 more in Indiana, and cipher
dispatches, connecting the baldest frauds,
were traced to the very door of the Demo
cratic candidate for the presidency
in 1876 The Democratic party is
not the party to talk about violence
and bloodshed if the election should go
against it. In 1861 it went into armed rebel
lion because It did not carry the election. Its
1853 electoral votes in the South aye based on
blood, aad in Louisiana, just befoIt Tot

A BUSINESS REVIVAL.

During the campaign the public mind has
been to a large extent diverted'from CONNER
cial and industrial enterprise. "Wait until
the elections are over" has been the invariable
response of business men when new projects
were proposed to them. By common consent
people regarded the presidential year as bad
one for business and lapsed into state of ex-
pectancy. Owing in great measure to this
inactivity, the clearing house returns show a
marked decline in the large cities, compared
with last years business, and many people are
unemployed.
The elections are now over and there should
be business revival that will continue until
the holidays, when trade ought to augment
considerably and take on permanent improve
ment. The manufacturer who pro-
duces a good article of general consumption
cannot make better use of his spare capital
such commodities. He loses money by re-
naming idle. He may lose more money if he
waits until labor and merchandise are in
greater demand, for then he will have to pay
considerable more for them. The manufact-
urers who had the courage and enterprise to
keep their factories busy during the gloomy
days which preceded and followed the out
break of the civil war, reaped rich harvest
when, later on, labor was scarce and goods
were dear In like manner may the manu-
facturer who has the enterprise and public
spirit to keep his work-people employed dur
ing these dull times, calculate on a generous
return.
What has been said in regard to factories
applies likewise to real estate In
this great, progressive State there
are thousands of opportunities for investing
money proftably in land and houses. In
times past there were such opportunities, and
people now regret that they did not buy land
which was then cheap, but has since increased
many score-fold in value. The steady growth
of this State, with its present busy, indus
trious population. alone affords the fullest
guarantee that the value of farms and city
real estate will increase steadily; but we may
rely confidently also, on immigration and the
investment of capital from other States when
our great agricultural and industrial resources
are better known and understood.
In all fields of business enterprise people
should profit by the lessons which the panic
of 1873 taught them 1t seemed then, for a
time, as if the bottom had fallen out
Property of all kinds was unstable. Houses
and lands were sold to pay off mortgages, and
did not sell for the amount of the mortgages;
savings banks which had made advances
on real estate were bankrupted when deposit
ors called for their money, and sound railroad
securities were at heavy discount. In a few
years all this changed. Property of every de-
scrption became, in general, more valuable;
savings again became large, and sound securi-
ties were in such request that United States

depression is slight compared with that of

be succeeded by abundant prosperity The
