season has Just reached us. "rhe Creoles Of
Louisiana" from tho pen OF George W. Gable,
the author OF "old Creole Days." "rhe Grand
lssimes" and several other equally popular
works, the scenes and incidents Of which are
located in Louisiana. MIR. Cable has made
the Creole history and the Creole State q life
study, and Is porheps better acquainted with
the subject in every feature than any other
writer. His latest work is OF an entirely his
torical and descriptive character, but is as
interesting as novel. 1t is written In his
graceful style and is comprehensive In Its char
acter, presenting the fullest details OF the
growth and characterlstics Of that interesting
element OF the American population.

even went so far as to advise Republican
friends to bot ON Blaine as late as Thursday
succeeding tho election.
And, finally, he capped the climax of his
incompctency by employing George Bliss,
"Decoy" Bliss, as Horace Greeley branded
him in moment of righteous wrath, to
search out these alleged frauds. Frantic
appeals were made to Republicans every

most important OF which was One offered by
the Athletic club, OF this city, that the cham
pionshlp should belong TO the club which won
the greatest number OF games ia a sories OF
i've with every other cOntesting Club.
Under this code the championship for the
next i've years was won by tho Athletic Club
in 1871 and by the Boston In the four succeed

championship has since been won by the fol-
lowing clubs Chicago, 1876; Boston, .1S77

Few eports OF any Kind have presented
moro notable contests, have been productive
OF moro remarkable fcats or have given rise to
more curious Incidents than baseball. Most
bnll players OF tho present day seem to think
that games 80 close as TO require moro than
nine innings TO decide them were unknown
prior 10 the present era OF small scores, but
euch IL not the case. Tho first gamo OF tho
kind on record wac played by the Gotham and
knickerbocker clubs, OF New York, on June
80, 1861, sixteen innings being necessary to
decide II.
The samo clubs met again latter in the same
year and played n tic game OF twelve innings,
passed away before the next game of this kind,
and then, on July O, 1865, tho Gotham and
Enterprise clubs, of Brooklyn, played game
OF thirteen innings. Tho most remarkable
extra-inning game on record is one played by
the Harvard College team with the Manchester
Club, OF Manchester, N. H., on May IL, 1877,
twenty.four innings being played on each side
without run having been made.
Tho longest game ON record was one played
nt Carroltop, KY, in 1868. 1t began at 10
o'clock in the morning and was called at O
o'clock In the evening owing TO darkness, only
seven innings having boen played. The
largest score on record is 102 made by the

THE official count in New York is COM
pleted, and Grover Cleveland will receive
the thirty six electoral votes of that State
and be elected President. This outcome the
campaign is so unexpected to us that we
cannot but recount the reasons which, we
think, led to it.
We premise by saying that no candidate
foy President ever made q more brilliant
struggle TO win than Mr. Blaine; nor was
there ever one whose chances, apparently,
were so favorable at late hour in the can
vass. We can but liken his campaign to
Napoleon's return from Elba, his triumphal
advance upon Paris, his incompatible hun
dred-days campaign, with IFS preliminary
victories, ending in the rout and ruin of
Waterloo's fateful field.
Bonaparto was betrayed by the timidity
or treachery of Grouchy, Blaine was un-
done by the incompetence and avarice Of
"Steve" Elkins.
This man was the practical head Of the
National Committee. True, he was assisted
by the worthy but obscure Jones aud the
amiable but afflicted Cha1ee. Together
they formed trinity of incompetence
never before set up to guide the fortunes of
great party. Chief of these, in the posses
sion Of all the qualities which are not dc.
sirable in such a position, was Elkins.
Jones was obscure and inexperienced, but
honest. Elkins was equally obscure and
I experienced
Chaflee had had some experience in politics
in Colorado, succeeding as chairman at the
last campaign in the Centennial State in
electing the first Democratic Governor the
State has had. Elkins has had no such cx-
| perience, but that he could lose an election
in Republican State he has demonstrated
by the stupid bungling of his action in this
campaign.
After the convention had nominated Mr..
Blaine it was the duty Of the committee in
charge ofhis and the party interests to con-
| ciliate and mako friends with all the ele-
ments opposed to his nomination or candi-
dacy. These clements were many and in
iluential aud only the most arrant stu
pidity would dream Of ignoring them
But "Stevo" Elkins, wrapped ia the
mantle Of ignorant self-conceit and with a
mind warped by coyetousness, knew moth
ing of the causes at work among tho people,
and did nothing but play the role of a
littlegreat man. He was new oxemplifca.
tion Of the old adage about beggar on
horseback. His career is perfect example
of folly in action.
And, after having lost the election, he

everything our own way in this world, and
VIC hope we are brave enough to accept the
situation and take comfort in the fact that

The Evening critic., 1884-11-17

THE result of the official canvass of New
York State silences dispute and proclaims
Mr.. Cleveland's election as President of the
United States.
The CRITIC has stood consistent and de-
termincd under the Blaine standard; has
advocated his cause aud clung to tho hope
ofhis success. To-day 1t pulls down its flag
and greets Mr. Cleveland as the choice of
the people for the highest office in the gif5
Of man.
The popular verdict has been declared
and recorded
1t is the supreme law Of the land and
commands universal respect. All good
citizens will bow to it.
The decision at the polls disposes of all
calumny, passes judgment upon all charges
that have been preferred, and wipes out all
partisan opposition.
Mr.. Cleveland is the peoples President
all the peoples President-and deserves all
the honor and support that the people can
| give to the man whom a majority OF their
number have honored and elevated to lead
eTship.
The popular Endorsement carries with IL
the weight of the public will. 1t says that
Grover Cleveland is acceptable to the peo.
pie as their Chief Magistrate; ID commands
all good citizens to recognize aud support
him. If forbids partisan opposition aud
commands allegiance.
Mr.. Cleveland stands before the people
as their President elect after long, earn,
est, active campaign he has fairly achieved
the victory. He must be judged wholly by
his future course. The worst enemy of the
Government, of the people, of decency, Law
aud order is the man who questions hi;
title or assails his character.
Mr.. Cleveland has terrible ordeal tt
pass through. If he proves consistent
Civil,Servico Reformer and a pure leader
he deserves grateful recognition and homo
from all parties.
