MONTEREY, Mex, Oct. Accounts re-
ceived from Salinas City, forty miles north
Of Monterey, on the Mexican National rail-
road, report terrible battle there between
an organized company of bandits and out
laws and the city authorities. Judge Jose
Santos chief alcalde of Salinas, had admins
tered the law with unusual severity during the
last five years. He had been charged with
many acts of high-handed, overbearing ma
ture, in arresting and convicting citizens ON
trivial offenses. At one time Santos had
every prominent citizen in Salinas impris-
oned without warrant Ominous threats
against him had been current for many
weeks. This feeling eliminated in an
organized attack upon the city hall
by mob of citizens interspersed
with many desperate characters from
neighboring districts. Judge Santos, with
the aid of twenty policemen and friends
barricaded the doors of the municipal build
ing and opened fire on the mob from the
windows above After hot, exciting bat
tie of over two hours duration, during which
number of people in the street were
killed, the doors were forced open, and the mob
rushed into the judicial apartments, seized
Santos, plunged daggers into him, and
dragged his body into the street. The chief
of police, who was with Santos, was also
killed, and his body thrown out of a window
The report says there were ten others killed
from both sides and twenty five badly
wounded So far as known the mob have
complete possession of the city. Further
killings and depredations are probable.

though chosen by small majority of the
electoral votes, there was majority of
nearly 100000 popular votes against him.
Does anyone believe that Blaine is
stronger than Garfield? Can he carry New
York, where active and formidable organ
izations inside his own party are against
him, and where he is confronted by an
opponent who, two years ago, carried the
state by 10000 majority over the late
Secretary Folger? Can he carry Connecti>
cut in spite of the open and active oppo
sition of Yale college? If not, then the
question is settled without going further.
If he cannot carry these two states he is
as good as beaten, even although he
should carry Ohio and Indiana too; for
Garfield carried Indiana and Ohio. and
yet loss of the fortytwo electoral votes
of New York and Connecticut would have
beaten him and made Hancock president

wealthy citizen to church The father Of

young man by the throat and tore his collar
off and the bosom out Of his shirt. The old
gentleman then ran away. The doctor
went ON home with the young lady, as
though nothing had happened. When she
entered the house her father took her to the
parlor and pointed to the doctors shirt
bosom, which he had tackled on the wall Il
intend to have it framed" he said. On
Monday the doctor saw the old gentleman
passing his Office. The story Of the shirt
bosom was already known about the village.
The young man rushed out, dragged his
Sunday night assailant into his office, and
compelled him to take off
his white shirt Attaching to it
this placard, "A contribution from COW
ard, he fastened the garment to pole and
hung it out Of his Office window Since then
the father of the young lady has apologizel
To the doctor and invited him to call ON bis
daughter as often as he pleases. The doctor
has accepted the apology. and it will moi
surprise the village if he becomes the old
gentleman's son-in-law at no late day.

acclamationS of the crowd Later Gen.
Logan left the hotel to visit the exposition,

CLEVELAND, Ohio Oct. AT last weeks
races a mare called Baby Mine was entered
in the 3-minute class, and protested for being
a ringer" She was driven by a man call
ing himself Pat Hinchey. She lost
four heats but game was suspected.
Drivers were changed, and she easily
won the race in three successive heats. The
protest was followed by an investigation
which resulted in the disclosure that the
mare was really Minnie Moulton, owned at
Lawrence, Mass, and has record of 2:271
1t further discloses that her drivers real
name was ". L. Keene, also of
Lawrence and that two or three promi
nent Pennsylvania turfmen were interested
in the scheme of bringing the mare here A
few more facts require development when a
formal movement will be made to expel the
mare, driver owner, ond the Pennsyle ania
party from the circuit. This is looked upon
as the turf sensation of the season. The mare
was spirited away from here last Friday
night.

LOOK out for big vote in New York
City next November. Tammany hall and
the County Democracy, the Independents
and the Republicans each will have a
ticket in the field, and each will do their
level best to secure the prizes of the local
offices. The result will be that few if
any votes will be left unpolled in the city.
A big vote in New York always m cans an
immense democratic majority, and more
so this year than ever before, because in
addition to the various schools of democ-
racy, each trying its best to elect its own
ticket-and polling every possible vote
and, mind you, not only for the municip>
al ticket, but also for the presidency as
well-we will have the large independent
vote. Things are looking better and
better in New York for Cleveland

HOW DOES The COUNTRY STAND?

The Missouri Republican makes the
startling, nevertheless true statement,
that no republican candidate for president
has ever received majority of the popu-
lar vote. This is remarkable fact and
it is worth remembering. Gar6eld's exs
cess of 9,464 over Hancock was not A
majority-it was only a plurality If
Viewers (greenback) vote, 3OS, SIS, be
added to Hancock's 4,444 1852, we have
4,753, 527-which is 299,11 greater than
Garfeld's vote, 4, Asa, 416. So that in
1880, although the republicans had for
their candidate the most popular and
available man they could have presented
there was popular majority of nearly
100000 against them.
Garfeld's plurality in the popular vote
over Hancock. in 1880, was 9,464 only,
out of an aggregate vote of 9,219, 0O0-or
about one>tenth of one per cent. In 1876
Tilden's majority of the popular vote over
Hayes was 252 ,000-and this, the New
York Tribune says, was the first time
the democratic vote had been polled for
sixteen years"
Is Blaine as strong as Garfield? That
is the question. Garfield had the active
support of the leaders of his party, in
GLIDING Conkling and Cameron, who are
now silent-and Schurz, Bristow, ex>
Attorney General Speed, George VIM
Curtis, Henry Ward Beecher, Charles
Francis Adams, Jr., the presidents of the
leading New England colleges and many
other prominent representatives of pub,
lie opinion in the republican party, who
are now actively at work on the other
side. Garfield received the full vote of
his party. There was not shred of Or
gained opposition to him in the republic
can camp; every republican organ sup
ported him, and every republican voter
who went to the polls voted for him, and
yet he was elected only by the skin of his
teeth. He lost California, Nevada, New
Jersey and West Virginla-four states
now absurdiy claimed for Blaine; he car
ried Connecticut only by a majority of

John Kelly's detection, only by 81 ,03S,

ELLA LARRABEE is pretty girl burglar
of Brooklyn Her name had often ap-

Connecticut farmer made her acquain>

agreed to marry her and take her to his

the proposal and promised to be good
But before the wedding could take place
she did little job of burglary of
her old tricks-and was caught at it.
The farmer did his best to assist her de-

the penitentiary, and went rafting off to
Crow Hill in the van instead of taking
bridal trip to the farm. The farmer
will have to wait and let his philanthropy
cool.
