THE last Democratic President, James

THE last Democratic President, James
Buchanan, obtained liz Of his ia cleo
teral votes from the solid south, and
carried only five northern states-Cali-
fornia, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. And it is alleged that
he did not really carry Pennsylvania,
but was counted in by fraud in that
state. These historic facts show that
the Democratic party still retains its old
lines SO far as the solid south is con-
cerned.

The electoral vote of the state Of Vir-
ginia seems to have been successfully
stolen by the Bourbon Democrats. The
evidence that such was the case is patent
to all. The law of the state requires rep
resentatien from both political parties
on each election board The Democrats
evaded the intent of this provision by APP
pointing as the Republican judge either
a negro who could not read or write, or
some alleged Republican who was not
above accepting bribe. The result in
two strong Republican counties illus
trates the way the precious scheme sue
ceeded. Halifax county has 800 Repub-
liean majority, yet shows Democratic
majority of 500; Charlotte county, with
600 Republican majority. was carried for
the Democrats by over 500 majority.

with $144,553.344 for the previous year.
1t is estimated that the receipts for the
current fiscal year will be $115,OOO,O00.

A COMPARISON of the vote Of Blaine
and of Garfield, in New York, shows that
the heaviest loss to the Republicans was
in Brooklyn. Cleveland's vote increased
6,845 over Hancock's, and Blaine's 1917
over Garfeld's. Half of Cleveland's gain
is due to the mugwumps, and the other
half is from the newly natuIalized vote.

The Democratic press have been loud
In their cries Of fraud and denunciations
Of the Republicans. accusing the latter
of trying to steal New York state. They
have had no cause for this, but knowing
how they manipulate the vote Of the
southern states they were fearful that
the Republicans might adopt their tao
tics in New York. James G. Blaine
voiced the sentiment Of the Republican
party when he said: "The Presidency is
not desirable if there be tie remOtest faint
Apon the title. I Mould far rather lose
than to gain it By the erclusion cfreturns
on mere technical grounds" No words
Mr.. Blaine ever uttered were in entire
accord with the spirit and feelings Of
his party than these.

The charters of 721 National banks
with an aggregate capital of over $780,
100000 will expire during the year 1885.
This is more than One-third of the entire
number of National banks now in exist
ence. From information already re-
ceived by the Comptroller of the Curren-
cy it is expected large majority of these
banks will continue their existence Ell
ther by extending their charters or by
recognizing under other titles. There
are at present more National banks in
existence with larger aggregate CAPT.
tai than ever before. The capital invest
ed in National banks was increased about
$15,000000 during the year ending Sept.

The Supreme Court of Iowa recently
rendered decision which will be of in
terest to women who contemplate mar
rying drinking men with view to re-
forming them. A wife had made appli-
cation for divorce on the ground that
her husband was confirmed drunkard.
The evidence showed that she had a
knowledge OF his Incorporate habits
when she married him, and the judge
refused the petition with these words:
"You voluntarily chose drunkard for a
husband, and you should discharge the
duties of drunkard's wife. His failure
to keen pledge of reformation made be-
fore marriage does not justify you in
DESERVING him. Having knowingly mar
ried drunkard, you must make yourself
content with the sacred relationship"

The Wrong Text.

This funny story, told in the Congre-
gationalist, illustrates the fact that a
quotation and a text should always be
verified before using either:
The Maine General Association had a
surprise. Aware that the General Asso-
citation of Connecticut was in session at
the same time, and being filled with
brotherly love and zeal, it caused q tel
egram to be sent to Connecticut, in
which, with Scriptural phrases, it ut
tered its loving greetings.
Not to be behindhand, the Connec-
ticut brethren responded, and directed
its committee to send to Maine this
text:
.The Lord bless thee and keep thee.
'sThe Lord make his face shine upon
thee, and be gracious unto thee"-Num-
bers e:24, 25.
But when the good men who had sent
it went again to the telegraph Office, to
pour out their hearts by wire upon the
Massachusetts, Association, also in ses
sion at that time, the telegraph operator
uneasily said
81 hope there wasn't any mistake
about that other dispatch which went tC
Maine.
No, indeed. What makes you thinl
there wasF'
Why, the gentlemen there wanted
their message repeated, SO Is to be sure
that it had been sent accurately; and
