A Canoe Race in Alaska.

At this season most of the Indians are
gathering their winter supply of salmon
or laying in stores of coin by working
in the canneries and packing-houses.
Those remaining had been practicing
for great canoe race, and on the ar
rival of the steamer the crews were
gathered in and the signal given. ka-
dashaks, one of the Stickeen Chiefs,
commanded one long canoe in which
sixteen Indians sat on each side, and
another chief rallied thirty-two follow
ers for his long war canoe. They were
picturesque sight rs they squatted, in
the long dugouts, wearing white shirts,
and handkerchefs tied around their
brows. While they waited each canoe
and its crew was reflected in the still
waters that lay without Il ripple around
the starting point near shore. When
the cannon on the ships deck gave the
signal they shot forward like arrows,
the broad paddles sending the water
in great waves back of them and dash
ing the spray high on either side. ka-
dashaks and the other chief sat in the
stern to steer, and encouraged and
urged on their crews with hoarse grunts
and words of command, and the In
dians, padding for life, kept time in
their strokes to savage chant that rose
to yells and war-whoOps when the two
canoes fouled just of the stake boat. 1t
was the most exciting boat race, and
bets and enthusiasm ran high on the
steamers deck during its progress.
The money that had been subscribed
by the traders in the town was divided
between the two crews, and at night
there was a grand potiatch, or feast, in
honor of the regatta. 81. Louis

The Ohio Election.

The Republican majority in Ohio is
apparently 1900 and upward. How
much upward may require several days
to determine.
This indicates that the majority will
be fully 30, 900 for Blaine and Logan in
November. The National ticket is
many thousands stronger than the State
ticket, and Ohio is far more united and
impetuous on National than on State
issues.
The full impetus of the Republican
campaign will now be transferred to
New York. The result in Ohio is great
and glorious. 1t proves that the pa
triotism of the American people can
not be lulled to slumber or be lulled in
to again intrusting the dcstinies of the
Republic to those whose hands are still
red with the blood of their assaults up
on the Nation life.
Ii proves that the American people
get behind vilifying cartoons and pic
turesquc slanders, discriminating kccnly
between accusations and evidence.
1t proves that protection to American
industries is the settled doctrine of the
country for at least four years to come.
For two years past the Democratic
party in Congress has been making a
record rs n lree-trade party. That is
the sole record it has made. Not until
its National Convention came together,
and the hitherto uneXpressed views of
the Southern Democrats from Tennes-
see, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana
became known, was there any
doubt in the minds of the Demo-
cratic leaders that its convention
would stand by the action of its Con-
gresS. The result proved that it dared
not, and the Democratic run, which
ends with their defeat in Ohio, really
began in their convention in Chicago,
when they lacked the courage to indorse
the only record their party had been
making for two years. Still, had they
fatty indorsed free trade in their con-
vention their defeat would have been
even more certain and speedy. The
fact is the course of the Democratic
party for two years past on the tariff
question has been wrong. 1t pre-
dooms them to equal defeat whether
they boldly stand by it or feebly rcpudi-
ate it.
OF the Democratic Congressman from
Ohio five had maioritics two years ago
which would seem to make their seats
secure now. These were LeFevre
6,0l3), Seney (5,Gl3), Converse
(3,67D, wilkins (5,32D and Foran
(4,03S). 1t was considered hoping for
too much to hope that either of these
maiorities could be overcome, but re-
ports at present writing indicate that
foran has been defeated by 1000 ma
jority.
Present advices indicate the defeat
of Hurd in the Tenth (Toledo) District,
whose ma aority to be overcome was
l,l04. We are assured also of the elec-
ton of the gallant, eloquent and able
Mckinley, who Can not fail to rise rap
idly into an even more commanding
position than he has hitherto occupied.
Ohio will SWING around therefore from
delegation of fifteen Democrats and
six Republicans, to probably one of
sixteen Republicans and five Demo-
Gratis.
Truly this is glory enough for one
day. Chicago Inter ocean, oct. 10.

That Remarkable Letter.

the Democratic newspapers TO believe
that when this document was published,
the question of MIR. Tilden's profound
admiration for Mr.. Cleveland would DO

ing of the letter fails to show that Mr..
Cleveland's name is so much rs men,
toned in it.. The ouly allusion TO him
is in the last two lines, where Mr. Til.

those who live by their wits" His

the support of reform measures. He
is so deeply impressed with the neces-
sity of turning out the Republicans,
that he averts his gaze from the con-
temptation of Mr. Cleveland's weak
nesses. Ho ignores the reform candi-
date, because he believes the latter will
merely be an instrument in the hands
of the party.
But suppose Mr.. Cleveland had been
q man to awaken Mr.. Tilden's ad.nira-
tion! If Mr.. Tilden could persuade
himself that Mr.. Cleveland was fitted
by nature and by training for the Presi-
dency, how his words would have gone
ringing to his party His hopes are
only hopes. His devotion to his party
bids him speak, but there is no conf
dence in his tone. This letter is the
most significant notification that has
been made, rs yet, and it can scarcely
fail to produce n bad effect upon the
Democratic canvass.
The letter is remarkable for the sin
gular admission that is made in it.
Mr.. Tildcn hardly evnces his character
istic sagacity when he AYERS that parties
are not TO be reformed from within;
for history shows that while the incite-
ments to Improvement may come from
without, they are not effective until they
are taken up within. In other words,
progress is more frequently accom-
plished by reform than by revolution.

Tilden has himself won, was caused by
his efforts to relieve his own party from

An Unnleasant Alternative.

Mr.. Beecher begins now, in part at
least, to understand the logical outcome
of his assertion and Mr.. Joy's denial
with respect to the alleged conversation
between them. In n letter to General
Alger, he says frankly that if Mr.. Joy
has denied, or shall hereafter deny, the
trath of his QBeechers) statement,
either he or Mr.. Joy has lied. But Mr..
Joy has certainly denied that state
ment most emphatically, both by word
and by deed. Whether he has or has
not seen the full text of Mr.. Beechers
letter on the subject, it is wholly i'm,
possible to construe his dispatches
otherwise than rs most positive end d.
rect denials of everything asserted by
Mr.. Beecher.
The issue of vcracity is, therefore,
plainly made, for Mr.. Beecher. n his
letter to Alger, cuts from under his feet
the ground he might have stood upon
the assumption that there might have
been some misapprehension upon the
part, or some error OF the memory, as
to the facts. He insists that no such
possibility exists, and writes of what he
has reported Mr.. Joy rs saying,
"Either heard it or invented it,"
With this question of yeracity we
have nothing to do, bnt as the matter
stands it really makes no difference, so
far as the charge against Mr.. Blaine is
concerned, whether it is Mr.. Beecher
or Mr.. Joy who is entitled to be called,
in Mr.. Beocher's phrase, n continental
liar" for in either case the charge rests
solely upon the testimony OF liar.
If Mr.. Joy did not tell Mr.. Beecher
that Blaine had offered to sell com
mittee appointment, the whole story is
lie, invented-as he himself says-by
the Brooklyn Clergyman. On the other
hand, if Mr.. Joy did make the state
ment which he now most solemnly
denies that he ever made, he is con
tinental liar,' and his report can not
be accepted to Mr.. Blaine's injury by
any honest mind.
We are sorry to believe that one or
the other of the two persons Joy or
Beecher-must have told scandalous
and sanderous lie, but that being the
case-as Mr.. Beecher himself says we
ale not in the least concerned to decide
which of the two is the liar, because in
either case the story invented to hurt
Mr.. Blaine in the estimation OF his
countrymen is of necessity lie, and
can IN no way Affect anybody's opinion
of the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent. -ErchdnQe.

Turks In Washington.

but Levantine, whose father. either
Frenchman or the son of n French
man, edited the first newspaper pub
lshed at Constantinople, and was, il
was asserted, poisoned by the Russians,
TO whom he was very obnoxious. His
first wife was an American, Miss
Mott, believe. of New York, and the
successor was Levantire. They
lived in very good style at Washington,

their residence here. He was u hand
some man, with black beard trimmed
closely, and black hair, partially COW

charming voice, high baritone of
unusual sweetness and power, and used
to sing, accompanied by Mrs. Hastings,

richly cultivated. Anative Turk, Amin
Bey, was brought over here before
Blacque Bey's arrival by Mr.. Brown, .
