a Bright Outlook.

y Reports from all parts of the country
show that the Democratic prospects are
brighteuing. Advices from the North.
west indicate that the Blaine detection
In Michigan. Wisconsin and Iowa has
not been overestimated, while the
Democracy suffers only here and there a
slight break in its lines. Many distin
guished Republicans, who find it hard
TO take their Democracy straight the first
time, will vote for st. John while the
fear expressed that Butler would draw
from the Democratic strength is being
rapidly dissipated by his speeches which
prove him an arrant demagogue. His
recent address calling on workingmen
to support him because under the rule of
either party they will be forced to COM

WAS poorly concealed effort to stir up
sectional issues in the country, and it
has driven from him nearly all of his
respectable support.
In the meantime Governor Cleveland
erOws daily in the public estimation.
Instead of following the example OF Mr..
Blaine in exhibiting himself over the
country after the manner of a menage-
rie. he remains in the quiet of his Albany
horne attending scrupulOusly to the
duties which the people of New York
with nearly unanimous voice called upon
him 70 perform. Those of his party who
we're opposed to him are laying down
their arms and swelling the Democratic
ranks that are marching to victory.
Tammany has unqualifedly endorsed the
ticket, and William Purcell, the Demo-
cratic leader of Northwestern New
York. who bitterly opposed the presi.
dontial nominee at Chicago and after
wards, is now in line working for Demo
cratic success. In his speech at the for
nation of Democratic club in Roches

aside their personal preferences that
Democratic principles may be success

Judge Livingston this morning filed an
opinion in the Clay & Ephrata turnpike
road matter, dismissing the petitions of
the supervisors Of Clay, Ephrata and Earl
townships for compensation for keeping
the road in repair since it was abandoned
by the Downiugtown, Ephrata & Hinkle
town company. The opinion is very
lengthy and takes the ground that the old
company abandoned the road many years
ago. The now company took possession
under the right of eminent domain, aud
cannot be held for the repairs made.
