JUVENILE CLUBS.
Their Origin and Growth i'm Car

Their Origin and Growth in Car
During the past few months sew
eral clubs and lodges have been
formed in Carson by children.
There is club Of young girls in
this city and the members may be
known by a brass medal bearing
mystic initials on the edge. The
girls who belong to the order are none
over fifteen years of age. The ma
ture of the business transacted re-
quires several weekly meetings,
and the sessions are held with
great secrecy behind closed doors
securely locked. The sessions are
about two hours long, and are held
in the afternoon Or evening. No
outside barbarians know the object
of this club, and the misses are
obliged to lay their right hands on
their hearts, and their left on their
dolls, and swear some terrible oaths
at every meeting. Several young
ladies who have been black balled
are organizing an opposition club.
The boys also have an organiza-
ton called ''The Kids Lodge" hav-
ing q subordinate Lodge in EN-
pire. The prime object of the
Lodge seems to be to enable boys
to get rid Of manual labor about
shutdown. They meet in barns and
stables and discuss such questions

orders are rapidly increasing in
membership, and threaten to out

and Masons in time.

An Aneedote OF Matt. Cauavan
The Alta Californian of last
NJ onday morning, contains an obit.
uary notice of nearly . column
upon Capt. Matt. Conavan. The
writer As illustrative Of the manly
courage and generously of the de-
ceased, relates the following: Many
years ago, when Dooney Harris
came out here to fight Tommy
Chandler, he made the acquaintance
of Canavan, who, like other Ne
vadans, had keen fondness for all
kinds of sport. One day Harris
had some words with Canavan about
a bet, and in the heat of argument,
accused Caravan of having cheated
him. This was more than Canavan
would bear from any man. and in
an instant he Knocked the prize
fighter down. Harris got up, his
face all bleeding, and with a curse
of vengcnce, rushed at Canavan,
who was surrounded by friends.
In those days the pistol was more
esteemed than the fist, and no gen
tlcman was expected to allow a
prize-6ghter to beat him. Canavsn
drew no weapon. but his friends
did, aud Harris stopped appalled, at
the sight Of dozen guns. Cana
van saw that he had the man at .
disadvantage, and like the brave,
generous man that he was, he
stepped up to Harris and said:
"Dooney, [ was wrong to strike you.
I might have known that you were
alone and no show here. I humbly
beg your pardon. Shake hands
and say you forgive me-" His apo!-
ogy reached the depth of self abase-
ment and men who had seen Cana
van leader in the fray when guns
and knives were in every mans
hand, saw him humble himself be-
fore a man who had insulted him,
because he saw he had his foe at
a disadvantage. It is no wonder
that a man like this should be a
hero, universally worshipped by
the men of Nevada, who knew how
to appreciate such rare combina-
ton of manly courage and nobility
Of heart.

tried to unfasten the chickens from
the saddle, but the horse broke loose
from him and dashed back toward
Mr.. Robison's, arriving there, he ran
through the yard and into the kitch
en-, still carrying the chickens. He
charged on the stove, knocking it
down, killed one of the chickens and
broke a chair or two. Ben arrived
upon the scene about this time and
succeeded in catching him before he
did any further damage. Ben got
his left foot hurt, but was so excited

The Neu 1on,inion.
Cleveland Elected.

The voice of the people has de-
clared that Grover Cleveland must
be the next President of the United
States. The desperate claims of the
Republican managers can in no way
affect or alter the result. The De-
mocracy of the whole country are
rejoicing in an honest victory and
the great mass of the people, ire
spective of party, have acquiesced
quietly to the will of the majority.
1t is true that the National Republi-
can Committee inspired by the des-
peration of Mr.. Blaine still insist that
he is to be our next President, and
we have not the slightest doubt that
they would, had they the power, a
second time thwart the will of the
majority of the people.
But it is useless for them to attempt
it. 1t cannot succeed.
The episode of 1875 is history
that can never "repeat ITSELF" There
is not the slightest doubt but that the
vote of the State of New York will be
officially declared as it has been cast,
for Cleveland and Hendricks. Two
of the candidates for electors on the
Blaine tickets, to say nothing of num-
bers of republican newspapers, have
conceded that the vote of New York
is for Cleveland.
In fact all the Republican man.
ayers admit that the unofficial returns
give him the State by plurality of
more than thousand, but their hope
IS to secure the vote of the State for
Blaine by alleged errors and frauds
coupled with chicanery and intrigue.
1t cannot be done. If it could be,
the great body of fair minded Amer
lean people would not submit to the
wrong.
The cry of the people for honest
administration of public affairs has
been heard, and on the fourth day
of March. 1886 Grover Cleveland will
be inaugurated President of these
United States.

Wherever the boards fail them judi

To this end printed papers have

New YORK, Nov. 9.-The managers
of the Republican Committee, under
the personal leadership of James G..
Blaine, are making desperate efforts
to steal the vote of New York, and
by means of money and promises of
official patronage are seeking to de-
bauch Canvassers of Election to ap-
pear before County Boards of Can
vassers and attempt to correct the
returns. All day yesterday secret
conferences were held in the rooms
of the National Republican Commit
tee, Stephen B. Elkins, S. Fessenden,
Monopolst Jones and others being
present. Precisely what was done is
not made public, but at 5 o'clock the
following dispatch was flashed over
the Western Union wires:
RooMs OF NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CON-
MTTEE, New YORK, November 9, a.
The committee is confident that the off,
cial count will give us New York, and elect
Blaine and Logan. S. FEssENDKN,
Secretary.
A few moments afterward a dis
patch was sent to trusty Republi-
can at Glen Cove, L. l., as follow:
Have all the Republican inspectors
present at the meeting Of the county can
vassers on Tuesday. Don't fail"
A similar dispatch was sent to
every county in the State, and it was
passed along the Blaine line that
every county return is to be chal-
lenged, and plenty of canvassers are
prepared to find errors in the count
so as to change the already certified
and verified returns. 1t was reported
by persons in position to know
that before the dispatch was sent out
there was meeting Of the Repub
lican managers, at which Jay Gould,
his son George, and Ex-Governor
Cornell were present. The conference
was private.
TRYING TO STEAL THE STATE.
The following statement was made
tonight:
HEADQUARTERS DEMOCRATIC STATE
CoMs1rrEE, HOFFMAN HOUSE,
New YORK, November g. "a.
We deem it our duty TO announce
to the people of the State that the
Republican managers have within
the last forty-eight hours conceived
= new scheme for throwing again into
dispute the result of the election in
our State. For many days after the
election they, in bad faith, claimed
for the Republican candidates sever
al States which they knew they had
not carried. In the same bad faith,
when every source of information,
including the Associated Press, had
demonstrated that the vote of New
York has been given to the Cleveland
electors, they still claim the State.
No fact Of history is now better known
than that the results of the election
as ascertained, declared and certified
by the election officers, and of public
record throughout the State, give
New York to the Cleveland electors
by decisive plurality.
These public certified returns have
been sifted in the several counties by
both parties with the most conscien-
tious care during the last four days,
until every possible doubt as to the
result has been removed. Knowing
this fact, they now propose as last
desperate resort to make of the
Boards OF County Canvssers through
