There are few reasons which con-
vince a reasonable man that Cleveland
will get there notwithstanding the con-
test in New York raised by The repub-
Hcans. The final pronunciamento viii
not be made before next week and pos
sibly not then, but it will be made
eventually and Cleveland will be inaug-
urated next March for these reasons:
The state 10 New York gives Cleveland
plurality of several hundred and as all
other states have been finally settled
the vote in New York ends ii all and
gives Cleveland a majority of eighteen
in the electoral college. Second, the
state board OF canvasseFs, Who viii con-
slider the returns after the county board
gets through, and which meets on We'd
nesday next to canvass the returns of
the counties, Is democratic. Third. the
court of appeals in New York, the last
resort OF the contestants, should the
fight be carried there, is democratic
three to two. These things should con-
vince the republican party that it has a
bad case and induce them to drop il
right where it is, for democrats viii do
just like they would had they the same
chance.

66 voted for Mr.. Carlisle, % for Mr..
Randall and Is for Mr.. Cox. Two were
absent and the candidates themselves
did not vote. Assuming that the dem

him he is sure also of seven additional
votes from Kentucky, only four mem

The republicans must give 1t up.
Grover Cleveland is elected the next
president of the United States and will
be inaugurated on the 4th Of March
next. The candidate and campaign of
falsehOod fall together in mutual ruin.
The grand old party-we use the words
in no satiric sense-which has governed
the country for twenty-four years saving
the union, freeing the slaves and retriev-
ing financial disaster, goes down. nor in
honor and honorable defeat, but in dis
grace and behind a corrupt, venal and
shifty leader. 1t fell when it nominated
Blaine and before vote had been cast.
When il ran up his name to the mast
he'd, it insulted the honesty and decen-
cy of the country; it mistook the whooI
of the Chicago mob for the honest con
yictions and sober character of the peo.
pie of the United States. BY the same

The following is one of Bob Ingersoll's
comparisons: Il tell you, women are
much more prudent than men. l tell
You as rule women are much more
faithful than men; ten times as faithful
as men. l never saw a man pursue his
wife into the very ditch and dust Of
degradation, and take her in his arms.
l never saw a man standing on the shore
where she had been morally wrecked,
waiting for the waves to bring back even
her corpse to his arms; but have seen
woman with her white arms, lift man
from the mire of degradation and hold
him to her bosom as though he were an

Short Campaigns.

Republican,: There is a growing con-
victiOn in the minds of our business
men that our presidential campaigns
are three times as long as they need be-
When president is to be chosen, we
must give our whole attention to it, to
the neglect of other important duties.
Business, pleasure, enterprise. even re-
ligion and friendship are, to certain
extent, benumbed by the shock of a ma
tiOnal contest. Trade becomes stagnant:
transportation waits on its wheels; in
vestments are suspended until capital
lists can see show the thing is going to
end;" and if the contest grows warm.
personal estrangement comes about:
social circles are disorganized; employ
ers and employees grow suspicious of
one another, and even clergymen catch
the prevailing infection, and mingle the
calm and wise precepts of the Bible with
the catch-wor1s and alliterations of
parties. The sooner this state Of things
is over, the better. No good can come
of prolonging il.
As a rule, presidential candidates are
well-known public men, and what the
people do not know. or have forgotten
in a candidates record, is spread before
their eyes in large letters week before
he is nominated. All after that is iter-
alton, which becomes monotonous and
tiresome.
The late campaign lasted five months,
and for that long period the country was
given up to it. 1t could have been con-
Quoted quite as thoroughly and, perhaps
more decently in a single month. In
stead of holding the first nominating
convention in June, both might be post
poned till September. This would leave
the summer to business and industry
and still allow to the national contest all
the time required for fair and temper
ate conduct of it.

The papers are complimenting Chair
man Bonebrake, of the state central
committee, upon the efficient work he
did during the campaign. Wewould be
glad to add word in his. behalf if we
could do SO; but we can't. Counties
that were all right, received plenty of
help, while those that needed it, were
neglected. An urgent call was made
for speakers for one single meeting in
this county-not for the benefit of the
local ticket, but for the governor and
congreSsmen-but they were not sent,
and no reply was vouchsafed as to
whether they could be had or not, or
whether the committee cared tinker S
dam about the matter The whole idea
of the committee seemed to be that it
was prohibition campaign. Prohibi-
ton was all they thought of, and repub-
licans who wanted little something
besides prohibition, were not considered
worthy of attention. The campaign ran
itself, and the republican party in Kan
sas triumphed in spite of the central
committee.-Troy Chief.

He Don't Care To Read,

for the agricultural paper, was at the
fair as usual this year. AS usual he
knew great deal more about his busi-

seemed little more seedy than he was
last year, but otherwise there was little
change in him, says a southern paper.

harder all the time. There is not much
of a living to be made in this country

to Texas. He don't want any man to
talk stock to him, because he knows all
about it now. He knows well enough
that this fine stock will either die in a

, Observation-Disclosures.

Some years ago there was Il section of
railroad track completed but not operat-
ed between Fredericksburg, Va, and a
way station few miles distant. In order
to utilize the track for the time being a
man who owned small stationary en-
gine mounted it on fiat car, made a
crank connection with the wheels, and
with molasses hogshead for a water
tank run UP and down the track for
freight and passengers. One of those
indefatigable geniuses peculiar to the
wilderness of Spotsylvania, becoming
disgusted with the tardy movements of
the railroad company, and fearing that
his hoop-poles, if kept much longer on
hand wouldnot be merchantable. con-
ceived the novel idea of hauling them to-
town on a fiat car drawn by a young bull.
The car was loaded with 100 bundles of
poles. There was some difficulty at first
in teaching the bull exactly what was ex-
pected Of him. The modus operandi was
as follows: The bull drew the car up
the grades and was then unhitched aud
the car, which then ran down grade
without help. AS soon as his bullship
got the hang of the thing he took to it
very kindly, dragging the car up the
grades with great alacrity and evincing
the same pleasure of riding down that
is shown by boys who drag their sleds
uphill for the pleasure of sliding down
again.

Blaine Accept, tho Result.

Our dispatches at an early hour this
morning brought the information that
James G. Blaine gracefully accepts the
result of the official count in New York,
as giving the vote of the state to Cleve-
land and Hendricks.
The Times, with Mr.. Blaine, comedies
the result, though we do not understand
it. We have heard great deal about
"clipped ballots" votes not counted
the wrong way, and all that, but we
have seen nothing in the proceedings be-
fore the canvassing boards to show that
these questions were even mentioned.
However, the vote has been counted,
and the result is small plurality for
Cleveland and Hendricks. That is
enough.
Mr. Blaine is to be complimented on
his campaign. 1t was one To be proud
of. 1t was campaign that leaves us
in the best of shape for the next nation
al campaign. 1t was campaign with
its lessons, and the people will have so
thoroughly mastered them that in 1888
they will again elect a republican adj

the hat of the demagogne while he
poured vituperation upon the party that
made temperance possible, and praised
the party which advocates DRUNKENNESS

The Cheyenne Live Stock Journal re-
garding the question from purely
range standpoint does not express much
appreciation Of the Worlds Convention
of Tanners, which our st. Louis friends
propose TO organize in that city for the
purpose of impressing upon ranchmen
of the west and ''irreIressible cowboys
of the plains the great loss III the val
ue of hides resulting from the present
system OF branding cattle. Concerning
this loss our contemporary while admit
ting that the loss of value in the aggre-
gate considerable one, remarks, "but
herd-owners are not likely to give up
50 hide which is certainty for a $40
one which some other fellow is more
than liable to get away with" together,
we presume, with all the beef it incloses.
The ownership of the cattle. and the
ability to establish that fact. is mat
ter of such Importance to ranchmen that
we DO not suppose sacrifice of the
whole value of the hide would for an in
slant be weighed against it, and so far
there has not been any system devised
for establishing this fact, except that of
branding upon the side. True, to the
uninitiated these brands seem larger and
more numerous than necessary. But it
must be remembered that animals fre-
quently change hands and that every
new owner adds his brand to the previ-
Gus ones, and that the brands must be
made sufficiently large and distinct to
enable the herders to distinguish them
readily with horses and cattle on the run.
