There has been great Outpourino
Of the spirit in the Methodist church af
Houston. For two weeks the preach
er-in-charge has conducted a very sue
cessful revival service. Over fiftV have
professed conversion.
The extraordinary apple crop of
New York and Pennsylvania has made
an unusual demand for fruit evapora-
tors in that section. For six weeks
Il. Grler canvassed in one County in
New York and there sold six of his
new, improved Champion evaporators.

THE WAY They VIEW IT.-Tbe fol.
lowing from the two political organs
Of Dover shows how the eiectio5 -
viewed by each:
me DeldWdreda says: 1.-The election
IN Delaware gave to the Democrats of
the State complete surprise-tbe
majority given being over four thous-
ana. Time and again the Democratic
party has come before the bar of public |
OPINION and the verdict of 1884 shows |
that 1t has been true and faithful SER
want" 'O'
The Sentinel has the following.
Property is what counts in the border
States and in the South. and not the |
rights and privileges of the voter. No |
such thing as respect for a voters
rights outside his property is allowed |
10 stand IN the way Of his disfranchise- |
ment in Delaware. The only thine |
mat can save a voter is his Democracy |
or the possession of property. either |
real or personal. The kind of laws |
there are in this State in relation to |
suffrage, cannot better be illustrated |
imam by statement of the facts-6 1874 |
votes were cast on Tuesday in this I.
county, giving the Democrats a
majority of 1880 votes. The number
OF voters DISTINGUISHED amounts to
two thousand.
AFTER THE ELECTION.-The Prohibi-
ZIONIST III discussing the above subject
says:
- The temperance vote in the State
has shown a strength that the Doliti-
cans did not credit it. The signers of
the compact may have all voted the
ticket according to their pledge. but
whether they did or not, our vote is
probably in excess Of the number of
slgners, and it is a reasonable inference
that the members of the compact have
been faithful We can Concentrates
ourselves on the result. for il is now
manifest that we have only to stand nv
our purpose and we will compel legis-
latlon IN favor Of Local OPTION. if not
prohibition direct. We have only 10
settle down to the steady work that is
before us. The foundation of this evil
can only be snapped by siege that
shall destroy the lingering sentiment
that justifes or palliates the wrong.
Therefore, we need to keep at the
work. No one will question that the
liquor trade tOtters. 1t may be prop
ped by political alliances, but it will
ultimately fall and great will be the
fall thereof. The liquor men them
selves see the day of doom coming.
and although they are pushing their
trade with all their might, vet they
see the certain destruction which must
overtake their calling"
