The Wrong Spirit and the Right
Spirit.

In leader headed "Law not Musksts," the
New York Sun which think Cleveland cleo
tors are chosen in New York, says:
If the official count should reverse the now
generally accepted understanding Of the re-
suit, nobody will be cheated or counted out.
The office will go to the man who has been
elected. Why, then, IN advance OF the legal
determination of the result, should we hear
such wild and unpatriotic talk of muskets and
gunpowder as is uttered here and there by
Democratic newspapers? The Washington or
gan OF Mr.. Cleveland said on Saturday: "CSrc.
yer Cleveland will be inaugurated, peacably il
possible, but forcibly il necessary" the Al.
bany Argus of the same day remarked: "If
law is sufficient, law will be availed of. III
fighting is required ghting will be availed
Of And In either case the business might as
we'll begin as soon as the necessity ia plain, or
the enemies OF true election choose" Do
these newspapers mean that whatever NAV be
the result of the official canvass the claims Of
Mr.. Clevelands supporters must be maintain
ed? Surely not. Then Why talk OF force and
fighting when the lawfcl dissemination OF the
result is still matter of the future?
In another article, following that from
which the above extract is made, it says:
1--WE think the plurality in New York. wheu
the vote comes to be officially counted will be
80 large IS TO make the duty Of the Board OF
State canvassers unquestionable. But, how
ever this may be, the tone of the latest u.tsr-
ance OF the Republican National COMMITTEES
accords with the spirit OF fairness and the
respect for law which is characteristics of thu
American people.

BANGOR, Nov. 1o.-In the inquest over the
body of John Simpson, killed on the Bangor
& Piscataquis Railroad last Thursday. the
jury rsturned subsequently the following YER
dict:
That said john Simpson was in the exercise

thst the train was running fifteen miles an
hour at the time and that the whistle OF tho

lieve that one direct cause of the accident was
that at that time man not employed by the
com pany was occupying the usual position of
fireman in the cab of the locomotive and had
no business there-that lad the fireman been
attending to his duties the accident would not
have occurred and that the officers of the
railroad company are responsible fos the fast
running of the train at that point, having had
full knowledge of the fact heretofore.

The aldermen will meet tomorrow In the

appointed, as the work this year il
very heavy, and the vote for each presiden-

of time. The law provides that the canvass
shall be completed and transmitted to the sec

votes will be canvsssed to-morrow. as the
board will only organize, make appointments
and map out the work for each succte eding day

ROCHESTER. Nov. 10.-The fact that Butler
votes have been counted ffs Cleveland in
Western New York is based on good authority.
In tho first district of Greene on Tuesday af-
ter the votes had been counted the result
showed that no Butler votes had been cast
The inspectors were told by man that he
knew one Butler vote had been cast. A sec
ond count proved that Butler had seven votes
that had Deen counted for Cleveland. The
feeling in both districts of Greene previous to
the election favored Butler, yet few votes
were counted for him. This is but one of the
