THE REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK.

About three. fourths Of the delegates to
the Republican National Convention are
now chosen, and in most cases their prefer.
ences for presidential nominee are known,
SO that an approximate estimate of the
strength of the various candidates can be
ventured upon. The convention will he
composed of 742 delegates, so that 312 votes
will be necessary for choice.
Taking list published in the New York
Times the other day of delegates elected
and their preferences, and adding to it su n
delegates rs have been chosen during the
present week, and the account between the
leading candidates stands about as follows
ArtntT. -. ........... oO>

And the rest scattered between Sherman,
Gresham, Ben Harrison, or, like Mahone's
Virginia crowd, for sale 10 the highest
bidder.
While il is hard to see from this aspect
of the figures, how Blaine can possibly be
nominated, for he can certainty get neither
an Arthur or IN Edmunds vote, il looks at
the same time, now that Arthur was virtu-
ally beaten in his own state at the conyen
ton on Tuesday, that he must be regarded,
in spite of his large number of delegates,
as out of the race. This seems to leave all
the chances with the dark horse" and that
dark horse will be-Lincoln.

The November Mete0rs.

The earth, as she swings her ponderous bulk
in her orbit, encounters about the 18th the No
vember meteor zone. This gigantic hoop or
ellipse consists of swarm particles following
Temples comet in is orbit. This unfortunate
visitor from the star depths on arriving within
the solar domain unwarily ventured too near
the planet Uranus. The planet captured the
comet, and forced it henceforth to reyolve with
in the boundaries of the solar system. the event
occurring probably in the second century Of the
Christian era. The periii3ion of the comets
orbit rests on the earths orbit where she passes
on the 18th of November and its aphelion ex-
tends beyond the orbit Of Uranus. A process
Of disintegration is going on and tho debris of
the comet and the swarm of meteors are grad
uaily scattering through the whole zone only
one-tentb Of which is now filled densely with
the meteor swarms. The period Of revolution
is about 33 years, and grand display occurs
only at these intervals when the earth crosses
the densest portion of the zone The last
memorable display was in 1867; the next is
expected in 1899. Observers en- the nights of
the Ilth, 18th, 18th, aud 14th will be sure to
see few meteors radiating from the
constellation Leo. and there is always posi-
bility that an unexpected number of falling stars
may make the heavens resplendent with their
fiery trains

Give Them a Chance.

If the thousands and tens of thousands of
weak aud weary sufferers throughout the land,

drifting downwards, could have the benefit of
that singularly Vitalizing Treatment now SO
widely dispensed by Drs. Starlley d Palen, of
1109 Girard ST., Philadelphia the help, and
ease. and comfort it would bring to wasting
bodies and depressed spirits would be blessings
beyond price. If, reader, you have an invalid
wife, or mother, or daughter, or sister, or any
one who is under your care or dependent upon
you, and to whom life has become burden
through weakness and pain, consider seriously
whether you not bound, in both love and
duty, to give this safIerer a chance of recovery,
or, at least the blessing of ease from pain.
You are offered the amplest means of informa-
tion in regard to this new Treatment. If you
can examine testimony without prejudice, and
can weigh evidence with Judgment and dis
elimination. write to Drs. Starkey IL Palen for
such proofs in documents and reports of cases
as will enable you to fairly examine and de-
eide for yourself They will be promptly sup
piled.
