For many days after the election they, in
entire bad faith, claimed for the Republican

when every source of information, including
the Associated Press, has demonstrated that

Cleveland electors, they still claim the state
No fact of history Ia now better known
than that the result of the election as ascer-

officers, and of public record throughout the
State, gives New York to the Cleveland cleo

sifted in the several counties by both parties
with the most conscientious care during the
last four days, until every possible doubt as
to the result has been removed.

The excitement here over the result in
New York is intensified as time passes,
and nothing bat unofficial figures show
ing either plurality for Blaine or Cleve-
land and conflicting claims come from
New York. Conservative men of both
parties agree that the official returns must
be awaited, and some fear that even then
the problem may remain unsolved.

more passionate than or Tuesday evening.
On receipt of the manifesto OF
the National Republican CONT
tee the Journal issued an edition and bull
letins declaring Blaine elected. Several
young men began to burn copies of the
paper in the street in front of the Jour
nal office, and six of them were arrested
for violating the city ordinance forbid
ding bonflres. One other was arrested
for resisting the offices. The Cleveland
men soon brought out a picture of their
candidate. The Blaine men charged on
this and tore 1t TO pieces. Soon after
rag baby appeared In front of the Jour-
nat office, suspended by cord. The
Cleveland men made a rush for this,
but were driven back by the
police, and the holder of
the offensive article took refuge in the
journal office. The different crowds
then contented themselves with guying
one another and cheering their candi-
dates. The crowds were continually
diminishing until at eleven o'clock the
bulletins were soon deserted. The Jour
nal, Herald, Record and Globe issued
hourly editions up to 9 p. m.

franchise bill reaches the House of Lords motion

to the piecemeal, partisan manner OF the govern

The motion will doubtless be carried. 1t is hoped

THE BLACK FLAG.


The Black Flag is melodrama which does
not require serious criticism at our hands 1t
evidently pleased the small audience gathered
at Portland Theatre last night and as the
spectators received their moneys worth, in
their opinion, we shall let 1t go at that. Such
pieces require the finest scenic effect to carry
them and these were lacking last night. In
fact we think we never saw worse attempt at
q representation Of the waves Of the ocean
than that made at the close of the third act.
The acting was generally pretty poor, the best
and most natural being that of Mr.. Bassett as
Lazarus, and Mr.. Ashton as old Jim, the
quarry guide. The boy. Harry Woodruff, act
ed with fervor and intelligence, bat his part
was wretchedly written and terribly lacka-
daisical. The other actors instead Of displaying
