ter OF the year, especially in passenger earn

of our Mount Desert branch upon which

New York Board of Canvassers.

ALBANY, Nov. 6-The Albany
Journal this evening says: On Tues
day the boards of supervisors meet in
the various cities ard canvass the
returns. Their duties are purely
clerical. They simply add the total
returns of towns. election districts
and wards, certify to their accuracy
and transmit the certified returns to
the Secretary of State during this
month. The State board of can
vassers consisting of Secretary Carr,
Comptroller Chaplin, Attorney Cen
eral Orrin, State Treasurer Maxwell
and State Engineer Sweet, meet in
the city and add up the totals OF
supervisors returns from counties
and the result of the official vote of
the State and according to that re-
suit certificates of election are issued
by the State board to the Presidential
electors who have been chosen.

The pulpit is the very last place for
ssthtticism: to entrench itself, but 1t
has reached that point. The great
. lights of the esthetic school treat the
sonorous and passionate oratory OF
the past with contempt, and substi-
tute a lanauid, letharglc lisping of
cold intellectualities. The esthetic
preacher cultivates q sleepy and
colorless visage, a dulcet monotone,
q whlte-handed daintiness of touch
and an easy effeminate bearing. His
style Is called "repose In o~ratory."
Action, emotion and fervor of ex-
preston are suppressed. They are
considered vulgar. If the new style
of oratory gains a foothold the inf1u-
once of the pulpit will amount to
worry little. 1t is impossible for an
earnest man to deliver bold and
striking thoughts in a state of abso-
Lutte bodily and mental repose. Lo-
yolo, Huss, Wesley, Whitfield, Tai
mage and Beecher would never have
swayed millions of people if they had
adopted the methods of the new
school of pulpiteers. Church going
people everywhere should let their
Miss Nancy preachers know that
effeminacy and esthetic tomfoolery
will not be tolerated.

VIRGINIA.

LYNcHBURG, Va, Nov. 6.-The
greatest excitement prevails here
over the election news. Full returns
from isolated parts of the Ninth,
Tenth and Fifth districts confirm,
and the Democrats claim 5000 ma
jority in the State. In the Sixth
district the Republicans carried only
one county, and the Democrats gam
over 5000 over the Wise-Massey vote
of 1882.
RICHMOND, Va Nov. 6.-Addi-
tional returns to-day confirm the
dispatches sent from here last night
AZ to Cleveland's majority in the
State being not less than 800. All
the districts except the Second and
Fourth elect Democratic congre S.
men by handsome majorities. The
Democrats here are wild with ex-
element over Chairman Mannine's
telegram that Cleveland has q safe
and sure majority in New York
State, and fired a hundred guns in
honor Of Cleveland's victory.
PETERSBURG, Nov. 6.-The Demo-
Gratis are confident of having carried
Virginia at variously estimated ma
jorities from 5000 to 1900. The
chairman of the Democratic central
committee Of the Fourth Congress
siOnal district claims the State DEM
ocratic by fully 1000 majority. He
says this majority is due in a meas
ure to heavy gains in the Blackbelt
section of the country.

Wholesale Tragedy.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.--About 4 O'Clock
this afternoon Mrs. Gardner, wife of
DR.. Schuyler Gardner, formerly of
Jefferson County, New York, shot
her husband and young child both
through the head, killing them both
instantly. Taking up the dead child
she carried it across the street to a
neighbours house, left it and calling
to her neighbor to come over and see
her husband whom she had killed,
returned to her own house and shot
herself througe the temple, from the
effects of which she " ill die. It ap.
pears her husband lost his property a
short time ago, which made him mo-
o aud sullen. He accused his wife
of infidelity. This seems to have un-
balanced her mind. At the time of
the shooting he was bidding her
goodbye.

Some great men have no system
attic business methods. It is said
that until President Arthur came in
none of the Presidents kept even q
scrap of paper to show what occurred
during the day. President Arthur
had a record kept of everything, of
the visitors, the object of their visits,
of the letters and documents received
and of their disposition. This is
business-like. Without due attention
to the small details of business, the
xravest tlunders are liable to occur.
And yet there r men of command
ing talent who cannot attend to small
matters. William Pill, according to
his sister, knew nothing accurately.
Patrick Henry could move q whole
nation to take up arms, but he could
not draw up the simplest court paper.
Joseph Addison could write immor-
tai poetry and prose, but when he
was called upon to write a letter to
royalty he bungled over it so much
that a common clerk had to be called
in to do it. Pitt, Henry and Addison
were men of genius. but in matters
of ordinary business, their lack of
system made them as helpless as chill
dren.

WEST VIRGINIA.

WHEELING, Nov. 6.-The major
tiles for Blaine in this State by coun-
ties are as follows: Hancock, go;
Marion, 81; Monongahela, $50;
Grant, 800; Preston, 1900; Marshall
623; Tyler, 1856; Doddridge, $50;
Mason, 40; Putnam, 178; Wood,
500; Kanawha, LOO; Taylor, 274;
Harrison, 290. :
CleveIand's m~ajorities are: Brooke,
SO; Berkeley. IS; Cabiil, 455; Pleas,
ant, 1853, Hampshire, 1900. The
State is undoubtedly Democratic.
The latest West Virginia returns
are very meagre. The Secretary o
the State Republican Committee
comedies the State to the Democrats
by 1,OOO-a Republican gain Of over
1000. The Republicans elect two
congressmen-an Increase of one.
The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1884-11-08
THE RESULT.

The result of the Presidential cleo
ton is no longer a matter of doubt.
Cleveland is elected Notwithstanding
the adverse reports Of Blaine's man
ayers. New Jersey and Connecticut
are conceded to him and New York
has cast her vote for the Democratic
standard bearer. Daniel G. Man.
ning's dispatch to the New York
Evening Post settles the matter. Al
bany and New York City Demo-
Gratis are jubilant over the result. The
Republicans are silent. They are
not INDUCING in pyr0technics, pa
rades or demonstrations of any kind.
They know that Blaine is defeated
and retired to private life by the voice
of the people. The situation is not
accepted with the best of grace, but
they are reluctantly compelled to
admit the defeat of their chief.
But there is trouble ahead. The
returns from counties outside of New
York City and Brooklyn have been
cooked up to overcome the majori-
ties of Cleveland in those cities. MI.
Daniel G. Manning assures the PEG
pie that the canvassing board will
see that they are correctly counted.
This means that Republican frauds
will not be tolerated and that q square
and hone It count of the vote will be
made. That declaration from the
Central committee, coming through
him settles the matter New York
will be counted for Cleveland despite
the efforts of Mr.. Blaine's friends to
wrest 1t from him. It may lead to
trouble but as the State canvassing
board consists of Democrats aud the
lower house of Congress happens to
be Democratic the trouble cannot
last long.
To sum up the returns from the
country, the Territory and the county
indicate the election of Cleveland, Of
Toole, and the greater and more inn
portant part of the Democratic
ticket. The Republicans are defeated
in every quarter. They have made
no gains worth noticing in Congress
and have lest the Presidency. This
fact means honest government and
q pure administration of the
affairs of the nation. Democrats
have reason to rejoice. The control
of the COVE, nment will pass i1to
their hands next March. There is
cause for congratulation in this fact.

TO THE

The defeat of Blaine and the cleo
ton of Mr.. Cleveland consigns the
Republican party to the graveyard.
It has long since fulfilled thesmis-
sion for which 1t was created, and is
now ripe for burial. During the past
few years of its existence it has been
held together only by the cohesive
power Of public plunder, and CON-
tanning, as 1t does, all the elements
of discord and disunion 1t will fail to
pieces as soon as 1t is comuelled to
vacste the Offices upon which it has
so long existed. As q party 1t Is
dead. At the next Residential cleo
ton the Democrats will face q new
party which will grow out of the de-
funct Republican party.
A large number Of Its members
will join the Prohibitionists. another
section will help swell the ranks Of
the Greenbackers; q still larger num-
Der will rally around the standard
erected by Ben Butler, and many
will lind q home in the Democratic
But as q distinct, separate or
ganization 1t is removed forever from
the pathway of Democracy and is on
its way to the graveyard.
