THE ELECTORAL VOTE.

The estimating of electoral votes now
progressing leaves it doubtful as to which
of the Presidential candidates has beer
chosen. Republican managers hold that
Blaine is elected; but we do not propose tc
announce any as a positive result, until all
doubt is set at rest.
There is basis for the assumption OF
Blane's election upon the following, from
the Republican State Central Committee Of
New York, the Chairman OF which, James
d. Warren, is cool-headed journalist, a
man of deliberative frame and great eau
ton Mr. Warren, for his committee, says
IN view of the claims made as to fhc result
Of the election i'll New York the Republican
State Committee deem it their duty to announce
that while the vote is very close the returns and
estimates from the most authentic sources JUS
tify the belief that the people Of this State have
east plurality in favor Of the Republican can
didates. We have received copies of the
official returns us filed in the several County
Clerks offices, in all except eleven counties.
Besides this. we have caused careful
re-examination to be made of returns forwarded
to police headquarters in New York and Kings
county. From the remaining nine counties we
have procured dircctiuiormation, from most reli-
able sources, and feel justified in asserting with
entire confidence that the State has gone Republi-
can. The result thus arrived at is confirmed by
an entirely different investigation, based upon
the returns collected directly from every elec-
ton district in the State.
JAMES y. WARREN Chairman.
The strength of the foregoing statement
is found in its calInness, freedom from
charge Of any phase of vituperation, and
its judicial summing up. 1t consists not OF
dogmatic assertions, but of a marShaling
of proofs. The methods by which results
have been arrived ut are detailed, and
nothing is asked to he taken upon the basis
of faith 1t is the rule shat Republican,
i'll New York as we'll as elsewhere-arc
lacking in hopefulness. They are more
easily depressed than our friends, the Dem
Gratis, whose elasticity of spirit buoys them
up, and whose aggressive dispositions give
their claims the air Of verify Until an Of
fetal count is made there will be no posi-
tive proof that Blaine and Logan have been
either defeated or successful in New York.
The heart of the nation is being stirred
10 the core and without sufficient cause.
The proclamation of the Democratic Com
mittee, which we publish this morning,
deserves the condemnation of all right
thinking men 1t is bascless, and intended
only to inilame the public mind, and cult
waite the idea that gigantic frauds have been
committed, when no sufficient specifca-
tions Of wrong-doing have been made.
Even if there had been, such appeals to
partisan passions are wholly indefcnsible,
and cannot receive the approval Of citizens
who value the institutions of a free gov
cru;uent

DRESS REFORM

The Chicago Tribune gives in its adhesion
TO the movement for dress reform for
women. 1t is, of course flying in the face
of prejudice and breaking the beard of
fashion in doing this. But sooner or later
a reform will be entered upon in this direc-
ton. Physical dcgeneracy will compel it.
The Tribune says;
That change is urgently needed in wOmen's
dress women themselves confess. bEt they are
waiting for some woman 10 set the fashion
EmpTcsScs and FTinceSses have set so many
odiouS fashions that the sex oncht now to be
only Oscar Wilde. There would be more benuti-
FIJI women if there were more healthy women.
If women would walk more they would be more
Beautiful lfthey would lace less they would
be more beautiful If they did not throw them
selves out of center by their high-heeled shoes
they would he more beautiful. But all these

The San Francisco Chronicle says that
Blaine plurality in Pennsylvania Of 70
600, or nearly double that Of Garfield in
1850, " suggests that the Democrats, recog-
nizing the hoPelessncss o; carrying The
keystone State, availed themselves of It's
proximity to New York to run men oven
the border who could help Cleveland with
their votes in the Empire State, but could
do no good for him III Pennsylvania This
is not warrantable assumption The ,ta
vote of the State must be taken into nc
count to ascertain il there las been tota
loss in what the voting population shoult
be in 1884. The fact that Pennsylvania is {
strong proteciioni>t State seems TO have
been ignored by the Chronicle.

The returns up to this hour of writing
indicate the election of the six Republican
nominees for Congress in this State More
complete returns AID official count will

Democrats in their gel1ymandering con-
ceded to the Republicans. 1t consists of
the counties of Sacramento, Iolo, Solano
Contra Costa, Alameda and Marin.
MckennaS majority over Glascock, the
present Democratic Congressman, is thus
far about 1000. This will probably be in
creased.
FOURTH DISTRICT.
The contest between Morrow (Rcp.) and
Hastings Dem was one unequaled in the
political annals of this State. The district
embraces the larger portion of San Fran
cisco, and had Democratic majority in
1880 of LOO.
Morrow's majority will reach nearly
5000, after having overcome the l, 100.
FIFTH DISTRICT.
This district embraces the southwestern
portion Of San Francisco and the counties
of San Mateo Santa Clara and Santa Cruz
Fetons majority will probably reach
400. although Sullivan, the Democratic
nominee made one of the most searching
canvasses yet made--a canvass somewhat
after the manner of Budd's, two years ago.
SIXTH DISTRICT,
Comprising the counties of San Benito.
Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara,
Ventura, Kern, Tulare, Fresno, Alpine,
Mono, Inyo, San Bernardino, Los Angeles,

In IA Legal Quandary.

The case Of Mr.. James Smith, who
is now and has been for some time
undergoing confinement in our jail
for alleged violation of the local
option law, has, it would seem, non
| pLused the upper stories of our legal
fraternity hereabout To the end
that the fine imposed by the court
npon Mr. Smith, might be paid, his
only property was seized and sold
under execution, although the amount
realized was insufficient. The law
having exhausted itself in so far as
the collection of the fine by fieri
facids is concerned, the question
bothering the attorneys and the court
now is, can be be longer legally held
in durdnce Uiie, the period for which
he was sentenced having long since
expired The law, we are informed,
provides that he shall be confined
until the fine imposed shall have been
paid. Not beng legal savant or
interpreter of its erudite provisions,
we, nevertheless, claim to entertain
common sense view of the matter and
think that all remedies having been
applied and exhausted to collect the
fine, the party should, and is entitled
to his release from furthur imprison-
ment. We learn that Judge Jones
has the matter now under advisement
This is an important matter when
viewed in its proper light it is
question of the right to liberty of the
citizen.

Commander Waddell of the State
Fishery Force has issued an order to
the Deputy Commanders as follows
"The oyster licenses heretofore issued
are imperative, the law under which
they were issued and by which they
were authorized having been repeal
ed" The order is in accordance with
an opinion by Attorney-General
Roberts of Maryland, who had been
asked bis construction of certain sec
tions of the new oyster law of 1884,
by State Comptroller Turner at whose
Office the dredging licenses are issued.
The clause of the oyster law applica-
BILE to the subject is section 3, which
states that licenses shall hold good
for one season only, and shall only
authorize the catching of oysters be-
tween the first days of November
and April, on which day the dredg-
ing season shall end and the license
expire.

An Interesting Sermon.

Last evening Rev. A. j McInerney
delivered a very interesting sermon
on the immaculate conception of the
Blessed Virgin, the day being the
Feast day in the Catholic Church OF
the Assumption of the Mother of our
Lord. The assumption ofthe body and
soul of the Blessed Mother into
Heaven, although a matter of faith
with Catholics, has not, as yet, been
declared a doctrine er-cathedra. 1t
only becomes such when it is officially
determined by the Vaticum Council.
and promulgated by the Head of the
Catholic Hierarchy Father McIner-
ney explained this doctrine in sim
pie but intelligent and interesting
manner He said that the corruption
of mans body was the penalty due to
sin, but that the MotheI of God hav-
ing been created without the stain of
sin, she remained immaculate for all
time as became the Mother OF the
Savior Of mankind, and, therefore.
being without blemish she was incor-
ruptable-

to sing, do this: Put little oxide of
iron (iron rust from the drug store, J
or let couple of lath nails be in the
water they drink, take away their
bath so that they can't get any drink

WOrkingmen to Organize.

There is quiet rumor sailing
through the hooks and corners of An
napolis that the working men here
are considering the propriety and util-
ity of organizing an association of
their own in the interest oflabor, and
which is intended to be branch un-
ion. Although politics will not be
its chief foundation yet, it is said,
that that quantity will naturally en-
ter into its solidarity and which they
propose to use for all it is worth in
advocacy of the election of Cleveland
and Hendericks. Such organizations,
it would seem, have of late years be-
come matter of necessity, so greedy
and tyrannical has, as the workingmen
claim the influence Of capital become.
Ifsuch organizations are properly con-
Quoted and governed by prudence,
wisdom and good common sense they
are capable of accomplishing much
good for the laboring classes.
