hDQR's REPUBLICAN NATIONAL Cow
MY Y0RK CIrY Nnuannhar q

n.
New York special dispatch of the 9th
Messrs. Jones, Elkins and Clarkson, of the re.
publican national committee, with the tele-
graph operators and some of the attaches OF
the committee, spent most of to-day at repub-
lican national headquarters. A much firmcr
tone is perceptible in the statements of the
tive that the ballots and the returns are both
favorable to Mr.. Blaine and that the fact will
be securely established Tuesday. 1t is evident
that the committee has received information
which is considered trustworthy, and tending
to show that the electoral vote of New York
belongs by the choice of the people to Mr..
Blaine. Believing this, they are leaving no
effort unspared to secure proper official dec
laration OF the result.
A point In favor of the republican claim
which has escaped public attention was made
to-day by Vrooman Of the state committee,
during call at the national headquarters. It
was that the democrats make no charge of
fraud OF any kind against the republicans,
either In the matter OF ballots, of voters, Of
&ting. or ofmaking returns. Their only cry
Is that the republicans are trying to steal the
state On the other hand the democrats are
squarely charged with illegal voting, fraudu-
lent count and fraudulent returns, on the face
of which they fraudulently claim the state
without so much as n denial of the frauds per-
petrated. The republican situation has greatly
and steadily improved since yesterday morning.
bat for obvious reasons details are not and
cannot be given to the public, since that would
be to advertise to the enemy the course to be
pursued Tuesday

Smuggling Chinese immigrants
through from British Columbia into
Washington Territory has become
profitable business for photographers
and the makers of affidavits. The
contrabands under the q. S. Chinese
restriction act are landed in British
Columbia, and they are got into the
territory of the United States by
means Of a game played with photo.
graphs and afidavits. The Cinnamon
are photographed In Victoria, and
the photos r sent to Seattle and ex.
hibited to those IN the scheme, who
do the swearing that the Cninaman
photographed was a resident of the
United States territory before the
passage of the restriction act. Thus
the Chinese are run over the line as
rapidly as if they were permitted to
land ut San Francisco.

They Drove Him In.

AhNy Dl0yC ILL II
The owner of a place on east
Promenade street appeared in front
of the house yesterday morning with
a step-lsdder and a saw: and began
the work of trimming up his shade
trees. While he was at the first
limb a pedestrian halted and queried:
Going to trim your trees, Ell"
Yes"
I'm. see. First-rate time to
trim trees. I'm Exactly"
He hadn't got two blocks away
before number two came along and
called out:
Going to trim your trees, eh?"
Yes"
"Ah! L see. Ought to have waited
a month later"
The limb was off when No. 3 halt
ed, stood for Il minute with his hands
in his pocket and then asked:
'Going to trim your trees, eh'"
Yes"
Ought to have done that last
month"
No. 4 said that April was the prop
er month. No. 5 wouldn't trim a
tree except in May. No. 6 thought
November the best time of the year,
aud so it went until every month in
the year had been named and there
We're five or six individuals to spare.
Before the first tree was finished the
seventeenth pedestrian halted, threw
away the stub of his cigar and loudly
demanded:
"Going to trim your trees, eh?'
The man hung his saw 10 d limb,
got down off the ladder, and, split
ing Oh his hands, he walked close up
to the enquirer and said:
Surprising L ain. What are you
going to do about it,"
"Oh, nothing" answered the other
as he lodged around a pile of brick;
Il Vas simply going to ask you if
you used tar or porous plasters to
cover the scars?"
The citizen got his saw and ladder
and disappeared in the house, and
the remainder of the work will be
done at night.

Advice to Young Voters.

Young man, you will vote for the
first time next November. l don't
want to influence you, but candor
compels me to say that if you do not
heed my words, and you contribute
to the election of any candidate but
the one l vote for, you may take my
word the country is ruined. 1 don't
care what you call yourself so long
as you vote my ticket. There are
good men in every party, but more in
my party than in any other, and you
should choose lmpartiality. Only l
dent want to see you walk up to the
polls and cast your first vote with the
party
That threw banana peels on the
sidewalk;
That composed Sweet Violets';
That struck William Patterson and
then hid itself from just vengeance in
acloud of anonymity.
That wrote Beautiful Snow;
That is the party Of Sergt. Bates
and the Sweet Singer of Michigan;
That invented walking matches;
That slandered George Washington
by naming the ''pie" after him;
That learns to play the violin with
the windows open;
That impaired the secret OF selling
a mugful of froth for a mugful of
beer; and
That told the policeman that some
body was being murdered in your
house when your slster-in-law was
singing.
Just choose for yourself; but keep
away from the party that indorses the
above platform.-Bostoa transcript.

The r""priciiCs of Life.

A test of breeding, or at any rate of
knowledge of the nicer proprietes of
life, is in the proper wording OF notes
and letters, and especially of the little

people. Every lady and gentleman is
cXpcc,ei to know the rules Of sprl mo
and grammar; In, even W ere these
are apparently familiar, there are c.r.

State Overwhelmingly Republican.
Blaine's Majority About $4,000.
Martin is Elected Governor by About
10000.
Prohibition Endorsed and the Saloon
Must Go.

The result in Dickinson county is but
fair sample of the returns which are
coming in from all parts of the State.
There is no doubt that Clicks majority
of two years ago is wiped out, and that
Martin is elected by about 40 900 major
ity. Presidential year helped to give
Martin his big maj ority, but there is
hardly any doubt that prohibition has
been endorsed. The fight was pushed
upon that issue by the democratic party
and it was badly beaten. Those repub-
licans who take their ''bitters'' regular
ly and who have been claiming that
they were in favor of resubmission,
voted for Martin. The REFLECTOR
bows to the will of the people on this
great question; it feels the heartiest
sympathy for the gallant and manly
Click, but it says honestly, let the pro-
hibitory law be enforced. Do away
with all hypocrisy and let an honest
effort be made to enforce the law. The
republican party in this state and coun-
ty have tempOrized with saloon men
and even encouraged them. This sur
render of principle was for the sole pur-
pose of electing Martin. Well, he's
elected on prOhibitory platform. Let
the will of the people, whether honestly
OF dishonesty expressed in his election,
be respected.

Dickinson County's Large Vote.

Four years ago Garfield received
1 1854 votes in Dickinson county, Han
cock received $50 and Weaver 292. The
total vote in 1880 was 1892. Last
Tuesday there were about 1900 votes
cast in the county. Of this number
Blaine received 2,3SS, Cleveland ,455,
Butler PIG, with Hope, Detroit and
Sand Springs not in. 1t will be seen
that the democrat vote increased about
As per cent, the republican vote about
20 per cent, while the greenback vote
remains about the same. The demo-
cratic increase is greater than the per
cent in gain in population during the
same time. These figures show dem
ocratic victory in the county-a victory
without much spoils it is true, but still
very encouraging. With largely in
creased vote, the great Magnetizer's
minority in the county is 200 less than
was Garfeld's two years ago.

Tammany supported the democratic
ticket with great deal of unanimity
and enthusiasm. Of course it did.
But we notice that CLEvELAND'S gains
were in republican districts, and his
losses were in those districts where
Tammany is strong. If CLEVELAND
is elected Tammany should be made to
go along with the rascalS.
