National Republican Ticket.
For President:
JAMES G. BLAINE,
For Vice President:
JOHN A. LOGAN.

The finale of the national republican
convention of 1884 has been announced,
and Blaine and Logan are the two po-
litical giants that will lead the party to q
victorious elimination Of the acts Of the
convention. Two acknowledged chieftains
have been selected to head the ticket in
the November election, and a spontanc-
Gus and almost etfervescent series of en-
thusiastic applause has characterized the
receipt Of the news from sea to sea, and
all over the broad land the exultant sup
porters of the 'Pumed Knight seem to
have gone perfectly wild oyer the result of
their long looked for victory. The con-
vention did not get to balloting until Fri
day afternoon, and on the fourth ballot,
when the state of Illinois swung its forces
around into the Blaine column, thus in
suring his nomination, the multiversant
body lashed itself into an uproarious de-
lirium Of crazy dramatism, outrivaling in
thrilling and dcmonstrative effect the
sights ana scenes Of 1880, when Garfield
was nominated. Logan was nominated
vice o-president by acclamation. With
laundering cheers and booming cannons
the republican party completed its first
act in the victorious march forward,
and with increased enthusiasm all along
the line the ticket will go through with
mighty force in November.

A Prophecy.
M, 1,,1 W.

The late Thurlow Weed, in a letter
written July z, 1847, said: Chicago is
destined to be large and beautiful
city. It is regularly laid out, with
broad avenues, and, out of the business
part of the city, it is thickly planted
with trees, which will soon, in addition
to adjoining the city, furnish grateful
shade. 1t has four admirably conduct
ed schools, much larger than ours, and
filed with children. The various re-
ligious denominations have large
houses of public worship. The river,
extending well through the city, furn-
ishes an ample and excellent harbor.
All are looking forward anxiously to
the completion of the canal. That
done, Chicago will eclipse even its own
past magic-like growth. In ten years
it will contain more inhabitants than
Albany.
We rode few miles out, yesterday,
to get glimpse of the prairies. In
doing SO we found the road all the way
occupied with an almost unbroken line
of wagons, drawn generally by two
yokes of oxen, bringing wheat to the
city. These teams are called "prairie
schooners.' That eccentric member
of congress from Alabama, Felix
Grundy Mcconnell, among his last acts
asked the house of representatives to
''resolve, that this is great country,
and constantly increasing" One needs
to visit Chicago to realize and confess
that the proposition is one of undcniablo
truth

The Internal Machine,

The Internal machine can hardly be
called new invention. The explosive
force of gunpowder was too destructive
an agent to escape the notice of the
disaffected. The shell, no doubt, sug-
structive, but it was bulky. No man
could carry many of them about his
person. 1t was effective against indi-
viduals, but powerless against society.
Against the weapons of organized gov
ernments it was as impotent as the
knife. Shells thrown by hand were no
match for shells thrown from cannon.
Consequently, while Orsini bombs have
been used with fatal effect against in
dividuals they have never faced the
organized forces of society, and have
had no effect upon the problems of
war. But science has been busy with
explosives since Orsini's day. 1t has
concocted compounds which develop
ten times the destructive force of gun
powder; it has put into human hands
the very thunderbolts of Jove. They
can be carried in quantities about the
person; they can be thrown by hand
or with sling. Nicely of aim is un-
necessary. w hateVer they strlke they
pulverize, and kill all within certain
radius. They can be manufactured
cheaply, secretly, and readily. Any
manufacturer of bad smells in the
basement of a soap factory can turn
out more destruction in a day than
Krupp could in a century. Nay, the
work can be done in any back kitchen.
If the devil delights in the horrors OF
war, he must be in ecstacies over these
new inventions. They introduce us to
q war-like outfit, cheap and easily
manufactured, which everyone can own
and anyone can USE 1t is likely that
the block up on the game of rebellion
will be continued long? Are the guar
dians of society justified in ignoring
the fact?-The United Se7ytce.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Noven Der l.
Anumber of the Cleveland organizations
met in their headquarters in the different
wards of the city yesterday, and made ar
engagements to parade with brooms and
torches. Mayor Low, fearing trouble,
requested Acting Superintendent of Po-
lice Murphy to stop all parades on the
streets, whether the organizations had
permits or not. The Cleveland men, when
informed of the Mayors orders, were
much annoyed, and declared they could
not stop their cheeri1g, and accordingly
made the streets ring during the evening
with their campaign songs and cheers for
their candidate. Ex-senator Daggett,
who has conducted the Republican cam
paign in Kings County, was at the head
quarters last night and said he still felt
confident, from all he could learn, that
Blaine was elected. The betting on the
election is even.

The Reports From New York StlIl Leave
Room for Doubt As to the Outcome Of
the Presidential Contest-Both Parties
Still Confident A Democratic Address
Blaine Heard From.
NEW YORK, November 8.
An extra of the Mail and Express says;
"The Associated Press has now the
official returns in from each district of
every county. As footed up they show a
small Republican plurality. The totals
differ from those made by the Democratic
State Committee on the returns from the
County Clerks of each county. But the
figures received by the Associated
Press from each district are the same
as received by the County Clerks of
the respective counties of the State The
result is now to be decided upon the ac-
curacy of the footing of the totals as be-
tween the Associated Press and the DEM
ocratic State and National Committees.
About midnight the Associated Press will
send out its figures ON every county COM
pleted and revised, and will at the same
time issue the totals as based on the fig
ures of the County Clerks. The public
will then have to take its choice of the
figures or wait until the official count set
ties the question. Present indications
point to plurality of 250 for Blaine.

Dispersed by the Police.

NEW YORK, November GA large and
excited crowd, numbering several hum
dred persons, assembled in front of the
Western Union building last night boot
ing, shouting, burning paper, etc. A
large force of police were detailed from
the lower precincts of the city who quick
ly dispersed the throng. A large body Of
police, however, remain in charge
of the building. Inspector
Thorne, Acting Superintendent of
Police, established his headquarters
at the Twenty Precinct Police Sta
ton, and issued an order to all cap
tains to keep their off platoons on duty
as reserves until further orders. Captain
Williams stopped a Democratic pro-
cession on Broadway composed of sew
eral thousand persons, and arrested the
leader. Up to a late hour there was no
further signs of disturbance.

Almost a Riot.

AUGUSTA, ME-, November THE city
was wild last night. Both parties paraded
the streets. There was much ill-feeling.
A Hallowel man entered the Democratic
headquarters and kicked in the head of a
big base-drum. He was arrested.
The Democrats purchased a new drum
and came out on the streets.
On receipt of the National Republican
Committees proclamation the Republic
cans howled like demons. Both parties
then renewed their parading and firing
rockets. The man who was beating the
Democratic drum was struck in the head
by a brick, receiving severe wound and
having one eye injured. Matters grew
dangerous, until cooler heads persuaded
both parties to return to their headquar-
tiers. This they did, but the Republicans
soon came out again, followed by the
Democrats, and psndemonium reigned.
Only by strong efforts on the part OF the
police were the two parties kept from a
collision,

In the Hands of the Grand jury.

NEW YORK, November 8.
Matters concerning the election have
been taken up for scruting by the
Grand Jury. 1t is understood that they
have already found indictments which
charge certain persons with fraud in the
canvass. Inspectors and poll clerks in
the various election districts are required
to furnish returns to the County Clerk,
the Police Election Bureau and the Mayor,
but returns from a number of election
and assembly districts have not been re-
ceived, and some of those received are
incomplete. If it should appear that
any of them have improperly withheld
the returns, they will be prosecuted. The
Asslstant-District Attorney assigned to
investigate the matter is disposed, how
ever, TO attribute their delinquency to ig-
norance in the majority of cases.

Republican Claims.
NEW YORK,

NEW YORK, November 8.
The Republican Committee claim to
have evidence to prove that the returns
have been tempered with, particularly in
Kings, Queens, Ulster and st. Lawrence
counties, and that In one polling district
alone in Ulster County, Cleveland
had majority of ninety-three over
the whole voting population.
There is also net gain of 800 Demo-
cratic votes in st. Lawrence County be-
yond the most liberal Republican estl-
mate of their opponents strength.
These and similar points, it is said, Mr..
Elkins intends to use through competent
counsel before the Board of Canvassers,
entering formal protest on the ground
of fraud, and then put the Presidential
tight, as a last resort. into the courts.

The inspectors of the Twenty-Fourth
district of the First Assembly District,
who We're arrested Saturday night for not
filing returns, were brought before JUS
tice Duffy at the TomDs yesterday. AS
sistant District Attorney Paris appears
for the people, and Mr.. Frank Fitzgerald
as counsel for the prisoners. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald asked for an adjournment of the
case to allow time for preparing suit
able defense. Justice Duffy said it was
an important case and should not be de-
layed. He was reluctant to postpone the
hearing, but upon Mr.. Paris stating that
he was willing to have the case go over
one day, the Justice said he would set it
down for this afternoon, when counsel
must be ready for trial. Bail was fixed
at $4,000 for the chairman of the inspec-
tors and $4,000 for each of the three in
spectors, in default of which they were
again locked up. There were but few

NEW YORK, November Z.
To the People Of the United States:
There can no longer be any question con-
corning the actual result of the Presidential
election.
Grover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendricks
have majority of eighteen I'M the Electoral
College. 1t is not worth while for our adver-
saries to claim the electoral vote of the state
of New York. 1t is absolutely certain that
the returns of the proper officers of elections
on the night of the Attn of November showed
decisive plurality in the State
for the electors supporting Cleveland and
Hendricks. If any different altered re-
turns are now being prepared, or are pro-
mulgated, they are corrupt !alsifications of
the records of the State of New York and the
men aiding or abetting the making of such
reports are criminals. 1t Is not expected that
you will tamely submit to the Vaccinations
of such men. Let.them understand that you
will not.
Recognize at noon tomorrow throughout
the United states the actual election of Cleve-
land and Hendricks by firing National sa-
lutes.
Meet o-morrow night throughout the
country and express your opinions in man
ner that can not be misunderstood. The men
OF New York are resolved not to submit to
the gross outrage attempted to be perpe-
trated upon their rights and will speak for
themselves.

ALLEGED DISCREPANCIES.
NEW YORK. Novembe

NEW YORK, November
There was decided hull yesterday The
political headquarters of both parties
were almost deserted, and save that the
committee have not yet resolved them
selves into their original element and are
still at their post, it would hardly be sus-
pected thata great and exciting Presi-
dental contest had just passed over.
Nevertheless there is little besides poll
tics spoken in the streets, and no matter
how the conversation begins it is sure to
end with Blaine and Cleveland. The
Democratic National Committee were at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel all day, and al
though little business was done, the con-
verSation was animated. Mr.. Barnum
left town on Saturday night, but will re-
turn this morning. Colonel Tracy, Mr..
James and Mr.. Whitney were present,
and were kept pretty busy receiving re-
porters and furnishing them with infor-
nation. Colonel Tracy said to a Star re-
porter:
There ~ little doubt but that mistakes will
be found when the final official count shall
be made, but they are as liable to be on one
side as the other. Thus, If this sort of thing
is persisted in, AS votes In Chatauqua Coun-
tg will be found on our side; 100 in Delaware,
and so on. And remember, the supreme
Court decided in 1876 that no investigation
could get behind the Board of Canvassers'
records.
Mr.. Smith, of the State Committee, said
that there were no further developments.
Leaders of both parties were in anxious
consultation all day long. The Republi-
cans gave out that discrepancies of from
5000 to 900 votes had been discovered
in Mr.. Blaine's favor.

Announcing the Triumphant Election of
Blaine.
NEW YORK, November THE follow
ing comes from Republican headquarters

NEW YORK, November THE follow
ing comes from Republican headquarters:
The Republican National Committee re-
joices that the returns now received warrant
1t in announcing the triumphant election of
Blaine and Logan. The Republicans have
carried every Northern State except New
Jersey and Connecticut. Virginia seems also
to have given "A majority for the Republican
cause and ticket, and there is strong prob
ability that West Virginia has also, while
other Southern States are still in doubt.
The Northern States alone, how
ever, give to Blaine and Logan 225
electoral votes, and insures their election.
In New York attempts to tamper with the re-
turns have already been detected: The ac-
tual vote cast In New York City, Kings Coun-
" and /, $50 election precincts gave at the ut.
most only l4s plurality to Grover Cleveland,
while 1853 precincts not yet heard from gave
2lTl plurality to Garfield. There Is, there
fore, no ground for doubt that the
honest vote of the State has been given
to the Republican candidate, and although
the defeated candidate for the Presidency is
the head OF the election machinery in this
State, the Democratic party, which has noto-
riously beenshe party of fraud in elections
for wears, will not be permitted to thwart the
will of the people. The National Republican
Committee calls on the Chairman and the in
diyidual members of all County Committees
TO take the promptest and most stringest
meansto protect the sanctity of the ballot
The Republican candidates have been hon
estly elected beyond "a question. Any at
tempt TO cheat the people and defeat theii
will thus expressed at the polls must be
sternly exposed and resisted by every law
abiding citizen.
