The Philadelphia Times, af-
ter a critical and exhaustive analy-
sis of the political situation in No
vember, says: After all calculation
is exhausted, the Presidential cleo
ton comes down practically to New
York, and the successful candidate
in that State will be reasonably
certain Of an election. And how
stands New York; is the natural
inquiry. To-day all the signs point
strongly to the success Of Cleveland
in his own State and by a decided
majority. Indeed, it is not only
possible, but even probable, that if
Cleveland shall hold his present
vantage ground, he will carry his
State outside of New York City.
AS the contest presents itself to-day,
the chances seem largely in favor
Of Cleveland, and indicate his cleo
ton over Blaine in November"
-AccoRDING to the New York
Times the rumor has been in circu-
lation for several months past that
President Arthur is engaged to
Miss Title Frelinghuysen, the ED
est daughter of the Secretary Of
State, is positively true, and the
marriage will take place some time
in January next. The bride ex-s
pectant is about twenty-nine years
old, is a tall and slender blonde,
and is stately and commanding in
person.

BLAINE IS BEATEN.

/
lis the decree of Heaven, and will be
confirmed on earth
BLAINE rs BEATEN!
While many have doubted our
faith has never wavered. Hope,
that sustained us from the first, has
been of late materially strengthen
ed and now shines as brightly as
did that star in the East pointing
the anxious watchers to the birth
place of a redeemer. A just and
merciful God would not sanction such
degradation asthe election of Blaine
as ruler over this enlightened chris
tian nation. A man who through a
long public career, whenever op-
portunity favored, basely bartered
principle for pelf, and then most
L
basely peuured his soul in the vain
effort to conceal his guilt. We
repeat,
BLAINE is BEATEN
We believe there are enough
Democratic voters in the country to
insure his defeat, but what may be
lacking from that source will be
more than supplied by the masses
of the purer, the more honest indie
pendent Republicans. By indie
pendents is meant all who are too
honest to be controlled by the par
ty lash; men who love honor more
than party, and just because they
love and honor, seek the defeat of
the party nominee for the sake Of
maintaining its integrity. They,
with the Independent press, are
power in the land, and should 9th
er sources fail to them we may con-
fidently look to save the nation
from the indelible disgrace, that
deepest degradation that could be
heaped upon the nation by the
election of Jas. G.. Blaine.
One Of the ablest, tue most far
seeing of this class of papers is the
Philadelphia Times. For ability,
dignity and conservatism it is peer
less amongst its peers. Though
Republican at heart it has sustain
ed Cleveland from his nomination,
as have so many of the ablest Re-
publican papers of the North. The
Times long SINCE predicted that
even a drawn battle in Ohio and
West Virginia would be a harbin-
ger of Democratic victory in No
vember. Now it says the victory is
virtually assured. Here is COM
ment from that paper of last Satur-
day on Mr.. Blaine's Fort Wayne,
bloody shirt speech: GIVE regard
this speech simply as the foolish
vaporing Of a panic stricken candi-
date; we have only to say man
liable to such alterations Of temper
had best remain in private life," etc.
No more of this scathing rebuke to
the Plumed Knight need be quoted,
but it is throughout in the same
vein. The Times heads another
leading article in the same issue as
we have this.
BLAINE Is BEATEN!
and gives the most cogent reasons
for the faith of its belief, to which
we add a hearty Amen!

Last week a man named
James Anderson disappeared from
his home in Houston, Texas. On
the gath he was found wandering
over the prairies as crazy as a loon.
He was captured and returned to
his home. He had not tasted food
for about four days.
"A SPECIAL to the New York
World sums up the Wisconsin stu
alton as follows: The State will
very likely cast its electoral vote
for Cleveland. The Democratic
State ticket will fall behind, and
the Republicans will very likely
get all of the State offices. The
Congressional representation will
be about equally divided.
The Afro-Ame'1cdn, q paper
edited by very able colored man
in Cincinnati, says:
"a prominent colored lady of
Chicago, who knows Of Logan and
his attitude towards colored people,
says: If the republicans win in
this fight / shall pray every night
for the Lord to preserve Mr.. Blaine
to the end Of his term, for | could
not endure to live in a country Of
which Black Jack Logan was chef
magistrate"

A,dispatch from New York, 18th
inst, says: The rumor is once more
afioat in stock circles that the Nor
thern Pacific company intends to
extend its line from Milnor, d T.,
on through Lii Moure and to Bis
marck the coming season. 1t is
stated the road was surveyed and
staked out within few weeks.
This line, if built. will shorten the
distance on through freight between
st. Paul, Minn., and Portland, Ore
gon about 80 miles. Officials of the
road thus far disclailn any know
ledge of it.
A Milwaukee special 21st inst,
says: Several days ago the wife of
Il. Il. Fischer, Of Bay City, Mich,
eloped with G. Fische, the two COM
ing to this city. The injured hus.
band succeeded in tracing the
couple to Milwaukee, arriving here
lat evening, but was just too late
to capture the runaways, they hav-
ing departed for Dakota. When all
had seemed pleasant with Fisher
and wife, they had $4,000 in the,
Bay City Bank deposited in his
name. For three consecutive nights
previous to the elopement she de-
clared to Fisher she dreamed that
the bank was about to fail, and so
influenced Fischer that he drew out
the money. The next morning wife
and money had flown, and the hus-
band has since been in pursuit. 1t
mot being known to what section If
Dakota the eloping couple was des-
tined, Fischer abandoned his chase
here.
W. A. Croffut, formerly of the
Minneapolis Tribune, but now q
valuable newspaper correspo nden-

say of the word mugwump: No, Mr..
Dana did not invent the word "mug-
wump'-he merely adopted ;t-and
that. too, years after it had been in
use in the west. AS early as 1869 l
was informed by Geo. b. Wright,
prominent citizen and journalist of
Minnesota, and who was visiting
me in Chicago, that 1 was mug
wump. 1 had never heard the word
before, but thanked him and told
him l had tried to be. Then ne told
me that it was term of reproach-
of jocose derision in this instance
and was applied to me because of a
political position of mine which he
deemed impracticable. He said
''mugwump" was a good Indian
word-not Sioux, but Algonquin
Pequod or Mohawk, he thought.
"Considering how many fools there
are in the country, our language is
not rich enough in epithets." I
agreed that it was good. whole
some. delicious little epithet, but l
requested him to be more careful
how he applied it. And now to
hear somebody set it up for new
