AUGUSTA, Me-. Nov. 6,-The report
that Blaine is or has been sick since
his return to Augusta is untrue. While
he was receiving congratulations in
his library this morning he said in reply
to an inquiry about his health Il
never felt better in my life. / remain.
ed in my room most of the time yester.
day because after seven weeks of con.
tinuous speaking was still quite
hoarse and / felt that | was entitled tc
one days rest" The fact is that he
IS in excellent health and spirits, and

getting ready to go out for a walk.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 5.-The
returns show that Republican Con.
gressmen have been elected in each o.
the eleven districts excepting the Sec.
ond and possibly the Sixth In the
latter district the returns at presen,
give Campbell, R., a majority of 81
over General Weaver. These latter
figures are liable to fuctuation, and
may be enlarged, or Weaver may
prove to have been elected. The re.
suit is considered doubtful, but the
Republican State Committee are con-
fident of Campbell's election by a
small majority. Democrats here con-
cede Pusey's defeat in the Ninth Dis
trict. Smith. R., runs behind the
National ticket in the Fifth District,
but will be elected. Weller, fusion, in
the Fourth District is defeated by a
small majority. On the State ticket
Rothrock, Republican candidate for
Supreme Judge, runs behind his ticket,
but is elected by good majority. St.
Johns vote in the State will probably
reach 5000.
THE TRIBUNE
The Tribune says: Americans have
the reputation of being an easy-going,
good-natured, law-abiding people.
This is an excellent time for display.
ing this characteristic trait. Let every
body keep cool. The supreme duty
of citizenship has been performed.
Self-restraint should now be the order
of the day. The uncertainty and sus-
pense cause bewllderment, anxiety and
excitement. If voters will only remem-
Der that their duty ended when their
ballots were cast, and that the respon-
sibility OF ascertaining and announc-
ing the result rests with properly con-
stituted authorities, who WI not and
can not be false to their public trust,
they can possess their souls in patience
and wait for the peoples verdict.
Good temper, sel-possession and pa
tience are the civic virtues which we
now urge our more excitable readers
to cultivate. Keep cool and avoid an
unnecessary waste of nerve tissue.
The country has President now, and
will have another one after the 4th of
March. Let good nature prevail, and
it viii be proved presently to every
body's satisfaction that only enc man
has been elected, and the American
people have decided for themselves
who is their choice"
