Anthony. AT an early hour crowd
of three or four hundred people lined
the streets to read the bulletins as they
were put out. They began to come
between seven and eight o'clock, one
contradicting another; first it would be
that Cleveland had carried New York
State by 10000 or 10000 and directly
after that the Republicans claimed it
by 1000, &C., showing that it was too
much guess work to be relied upon.
The Smyrna Cornet Band stood just
underneath and played for the enter
tainment of the crowd for a few hours
About 10 o'clock the news came along
so slow, 1.-THE wire being used for pri-
vate dispatches) that the larger part of
the people began to scatter for their
homes, but q number remained up all
night. The dispatches were very I'M
satisfactory to all parties in their con-
fiicting statements, but brought the
most comfort to the Democrats through
out the night. When they shut down
at 81 o'clock this morning the election
was still doubtful.

rrhe presidential Election.


The figures which came last night by
telegraph did not give as was expected,
the result of the Presidential contest,
and as we go to press this p. N. the
question is still in doubt. It seems to
turn on the vote in New York State,
which is very close, both parties
claiming it, the Democrats by the
largest figures. The Philadelphia
Times says:
"The returns are yet incomplete
from New York, but the latest advices
indicate the success of Cleveland by
from 5000 to 10000 majority. 1t is
possible to change the result by later
and fuller returns, but it seems more
than probable that the Empire State
has decided the national contest in
favor of Grover Cleveland and honest
government.
New Jersey, Connecticut and In
diana are all in the Democratic column,
and the election of Cleveland is assur-
ed unless New York shall be changed
TO Blaine, by the official vote"
The Philadelphia Press which went
to press at one o'clock last night
claimed that while New York was
close it had gone for Blaine and all the
Northern States except New Jersey.
The Baltimore Sun claims the cleo
ton of Cleveland, but admits that
Indiana and Connecticut are doubtful
and the vote in Virginia very close.
The Philadelphia Record claims g be-
sides Il solid South, New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana, Nevada
and California, with Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, Illinois, New Hampshire and,
possibly, Massachusetts, close. In 1872
congressional districts definitely heard
from, the party gains and losses offset
each other. The Democratic gains are
in the South, the Republican gains in
the North. The House will be Demo-
cratic by a large though somewhat re-
duced majority"
\ dispatch received at noon to-day
from Senator Bayard says that Cleve-
land has carried New York by from
10000 to $4,000. The Republicans are
hoping for better news in later returns.
The latest dispatch just before going
to press stated that Cleveland had cot
IA electoral votes, POI being necessary
to a choice.

The Rev. DR.. Mutchmore in a SER
mon in Philadelphia on the "Oualif-
cations and Obligations of the Rights
of Suffrage" said
We hear men denouncing parties
and wishing they were abolished. You
would be worse Off if they were. They
are essential to our prosperity.
Though each party is in the habit of
denouncing the other they are not all
wrong, and all they PROFOUND is not
unworthy. They represent great
principles, which require consideration
from two points of view that the better
may be decided. Both parties repre-.
sent some truth.
1t is u duty with every citizen who
has the right Of suffrage to vote. The
argument that the party will be beaten
amy thcre Is no use in voting is funda-
mentally wrong. No party is ever
beaten. Their principles are inculcated
on the minds Of the people. Excite.
ment IS good for the people. Many
great reyivals and reforms have been
started Immediately after such excite
ment. 1t is TO the advantage of the
people that there should be such ex.
element Of great principles. In these
periodical returns Of political excite
ment many men who, like Moses
though they have 30 gift of speech
came out and make themselves famous
The existence of parties stimulate,
watehfulness and honesty, integrity
and ability in office. It is the duty o
every citizen to examine carefully into
the MORAL character Of the men the,
would elevate to a position to rule
You are to blame yourselves if the,
are unworthy"

Last MEETINGS.

Large Democratic meetings were
held in this town on Saturday after
noon and evening, the former an open
air meeting addressed by Congress
man Lore and J. L. Wolcott, Esq, and
in the Town Hall in the evening, adj
dressed by Senator Salisbury. The
election being over, the issues discuss
ed are a thing of the past and hence
not of interest as an after event.
a Temperance meeting was held at
the Town Hall on Monday evening,
called to order by G. H. Register and
J. w. Denney selected for chairman
which was addressed by Rev. T. f.
Terry, of Centreville, Md, who spoke
for an hour ably and fuently on the
evils of the liquor traffic and in adj
vOcacy of local option. The same
evening Rev. ]. 3. Quigg addressed a
temperance meeting in Leipsic.

The trial Of the improved fire en-
CINE to which we referred in our last
issue came off on Friday at the mill
pond and on Saturday morning at the
Town Hall, and was we believe en-
tlrely satisfactory TO the Town Com
missioners, 40 least they purchased il
as well rs the truck for CARRYING the
hooks and ladders. A new house will
have TO be erected to cover them, as
they are too long for the room in the
Town Hall building intended for the
hre apparatus. Several hundred feet
OF new hose will be purchased for use
with the new engine and the reser-
voirs for water supply will we sup
pose receive attention in due time.
The engine showed its capacity to
throw two streams Of water 10 the
same time over our highest houses, or
u Will throw one stream and force
water through hose a long distance to
be used in one Of the other engines.
There is certainly a measure Of securi-
ty in this but the feeling Of security
will be much enhanced by a good
water supply.

A Democratic meeting held at Dea-
kyneville on Monday night did not
turn out as the projectors proposed,
we presume. All at once a large part
Of them, mostly young men, seemed to
get in the condition of men who have
come in contact with battery Of
Jersey lightning" The first happen
ing was, one of them fell down. Helm
sisted another of them had knocked
him down and wanted to avenge the
insult which ended in q general row
and a free fight among themselves.
During the height of the melee one of
them got into the Smyrna Cornet
Band wagon to shake hands good bye,
and came near smashing the big drum,
when the musicians, with Il proper re-
gard for their instruments, struck up
tune and made for home, leaving
the crowd in a high state Of beliger-
ency. The demonstration was caused
it is said by jug of whiskey that was
brought by one of the participants to
to the meeting as an enthusiasm slim

THE Breakacater Light and the Har-

week with a journalistic change, the
latter enlarged to an eight column
paper printed on a new press-discard-
ing the patent outside and, having
a general improvement in its make up,
and the first the salutatory of its new
editor, Horace Greeley Knowles, who
succeeds his father, DR.. Knowles. The
new editor is a graduate Of Delaware

in amatuer newspaper work in editing

The Christian AdcOcdte in discussing
the subject Of electing a President I'M
der the heading of Citizens Making a
King" says:
"Our system has this advantage {:
The President, once in Office, has every
motive to try to command public re-
spect. If he seek denomination
from public appreciation he must try to
gain it. If he seek it by selfish arts, he
must constantly endeavOr by wise
measures to counterfeit their evil effects
upon his reputation, and for the same
reason ever beware lest he got too far.
But if he care not for denomination,
then the welfare Of his country and the
cOnsiderate judgement Of his fellow
men and of pOsterity must cOnstrain
him to the most noble efforts to faith
fully administer his high functions.
at is, we believe, these principles
that account for the high average Of
our Presidents, some Of whom, least
expected, have attained high rank, and
few of whom have disappointed what
was reasonably anticipated"

Adams Express Removal.

On Friday last Thos. B. Megear.
who has had charge of the Adams
Express Agency for this town for the
past sixteen years turned over the
office and its effects to Joseph NJ.
Reynolds who for the past year and
a-half has been express messenger on
the Delaware & Chesapeake road. and
was formerly express clerk for Mr..
Megear. Mr.. Reynolds has estab-
lished his Office for the present at the
store of J. +. Collins and has been fur
nished with a proper outfit by the
company. As there had to be change.
no other person could perhaps fill the
place more popularity than the new ap-
pointee, as he grew up here and is
well known by our people.
The management of the business in
the sixteen years it was under Mr..
Negear's control has been, so far rs
we know, entirely satisfactory to our
people. The business which was
small when it came into Mr. Megear's
hands has grown yearly under his
careful management, until it has be-
come Of considerable magnitude.

Receiving the News.

The arrangements Of the Americas
Club for the reception of the returns Of
the election was the most complete
that we have ever had, and much ap-
preeiated by the people, The erection
OF the battery in the Johnson building
with communication direct with the
central Office at Philadelphia gave
them facilities for getting the Associat-
ed Press news within two minutes of
the time it reached that city, which
was thrown on a white ground by
eight gass jets Immediately in their
rear so they could be read from any
part Of the street. Each Of the parties
Swho had contributed towards this ex-
pense) was furnished the news as soon
as received, at their respective head
quarters. The success Of this arrange
ment IN its thoroughness and complete
ness Is due largely to the perseverance

subject Of too much politics says:
"Now, all this fermentation, while it

to become less animated and individ-

CONDITION OF BUSINESS. A contem-
porary thus speaks of the condition
of our business interest:
about all branches of business are
in a very unsatisfactory condition.
Trade is dull, and there is no denying
it. The more sanguine have the hope
that the close of the Presidential cam
paign will afford relief; others see no
light ahead as between now and spring.
The facts as they are and have been
often repeated. Not the least obser-
want can fail to see the depression
which 50 far has increased in stringency
from week to week, and from month
to month. The people will not spend
their money The spring of activity
and outlay is coiled tightly up. When
it is let loose there will be a tremen-
dous demand for all staple articles.
The when is the one thing which nc
body can foresee. The assurance of
large crops has not sulficed to inspire
confidence The sale and movement
of them, and denuded stocks of goods
in the country districts, with the ineyi-
table consumption going on, must
some day bring about the reaction"
