cans to 40 Fusion, making majority of
eight on joint ballot.
ALL but five counties in Pennsylvania
show Republican gains over 1880, the
state giving Blaine a muck larger plu-
rality than it gave to Garfield. The an
thracite coal mining counties show
revolution in the Irish vote, large gains
being made by the Republicans.
FRIDAY was the one hundredth ami
versary of the Episcopal conservation Of
DR.. Samuel Seabury, the first bishop Of
the Episcopal church in America, which
occurred in Aberdeen, Scotland. Com
memorative services were held in Trim
ity church. New York, Assistant Bishop
Henry c. Potter presiding, and DR.. Dix
preaching the sermon.
The Kennebec Journal publishes the
vote of Maine at the late Presidential
election, excepting ten small towns and
plantations rot yet returned to the Of
flee of Secretary of state, showing the
following result: Blaine 71,7l6; Cleve-
land 51.656; Butler 1894; st. John 2,143;
Blaine's plurality, 20,060: majority 49,
923. In 1880 Garfeld's plurality was g.
800 and his majority 1876, Blaine car
ries every county in the state, while in
1880 four counties gave a majority
against Garfield.
ALREADY a number of Democratic
Congressman have declared the inten-
tiOn of the present House at its next
session to begin tinkering with tariff.
They declare that the people demand
this by the result of their vote at the
late election, and cite as a prominent
indication of the will of the people in
this direction, the defeat of Hon. r. G..
Horn in the Eighth district of this state,
a district largely interested in lumber
and salt. 1t looks like Michigan inter-
ests would be among the first to receive
attention at the hands of the Democrats
and it would not be surprising if both
salt and lumber were put upon the free
list.
1T If announced that Frank Hurdi has
decided to contest the election of ROmeis
The majority Of the latter was between
two and three hundred, and Hurd is re-
ported as saying that frauds have come
to his knowledge sufficient to warrant
him in making the contest. If he con-
tests he will be seated, llo matter wheth-
er his charge of frauds is sustained or
not. A Democratic congress does not
care anything about the evidence in case
of contest for seat; its only question
is, which is the Democrat? and
he keeps his seat, or is given seat, or
is given the seat he wants, as the case
may be, without regard to the facts in
the case.
THE Republicans made a gallant fight
in New York against great odds, and
while defeated on the National ticket by
a plurality of about LOO they have rea-
sons to be proud of the contest, and such
another victory would come near ending
the opposing forces. In that state they
had to contend with the Democrats,
Greenbackers, PrOhibitionists and mug
wumps, and it is reasonable to conclude
that, Notwithstanding this, they would
have been victorious had it not been for
Rev. Samuel Burchard's "Rum, Roman
ism, and Rebellion" One paper, in
commenting on the result, says: "Bur-
chard is old enough to be an angel, and
it is pity the Lord did not take him
home before he made fool of himself"
Mr.. EDWARD MCPHERSON, secretary OF
the Republican congressional committee
says the revenue reformers will have
control Of the next house. He thinks
Mr.. Randall will stand no show with the
new administration and that Mr.. Car
Isle will be sustained in the house by
reelection to to the speakership. Mr.
Carlisle, he says has made magnificent
speaker, and there could be no chance
of defeating him. He calls attention to
the fact that out of forty-fve Democrats
who followed Randall in the tariff fight
last winter only eighteen ha We been re-
elected, while Hurd is the OF ly prOmi-
nent reformer who has been defeated
If the eighteen Randalites shoula join
with the Republicans again in the tariff
fight, the reformers If they suffered no
other assertions would still have ma
