THE NATIONAL ELECTION.
gloomy Weather, but Full Vote
being PolIed Everywhere.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4-The weather on cleo
ton day opened in this city about as dis
agreeably as it is possible to conceive, and
it Kept it up all day. As soon as the polls
were opened large lines of men formed, and
tho work Of deposiTing the ballots was be-
gun without moments delay, and
oil day it was prosecuted vigorously. The
vote was very heavy and intense interest was
evidenced on all hands. The stores in the
city that is many of them, were closed all
day, and more closed at noon, and the bust
ness streets presented an unusually deserted
appearance,
Reports from New York, Indiana Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Massachusetts, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Iowa, and all over the north, testi-
fled 80 the fact that no election was ever
more hotly contested than the present.
Everywhere the reports Indicated an extra
ordinary fnlI vote, notwithstanding the in
clemency of the weather Both parties
were busy putting in their ballots,
and when hat was done claiming every
thing. The Brooklyn Democrats claimed
majority of over 20, 900 before half the vote
WAS in and New York Democrats said the
MA jority TOR Cleveland would be in that city,
$1,000.
Reports we're generally to the effect that
tic Independents were doing well for Cleve-
land, and the Irish vote doing the same for
Blaine, with Butler and St John getting q
very good vote under the circumstances.
bavenpart's men i'll New York were pretty
busy arresting alleged fraudulent voters,
and south there was rumors of
riots in districts where the col
prtd vote was large Generally, however,

BRITISH NEWSPAPER TALK.
what n Couple Of London Journals
Have 10 Say of the Election.

LONDON, Nov. 5.-1'he Morning News, in
leader devoted to the American political
contest, says: THE Republicans have much
in their favor They are in power;
they have governed the republic for
twenty three years; they settled
the slavery question forever, and they have
most heroic recollections in the northern and
western states associated with their name.
But the Republican party has done its work
and has fallen into vices which long ascend
ency produces in all political parties.
1t has become more anxious to
retain office than to perform
any great national service. 1t has
had a candidate in Mr.. Blaine, who comes
forward as the representative of the party
machine. A Democratic victory no longer
means the return of southern men to a
monopoly of power. Old sectional jeal-
ousieS are cold beyond the power of be-
ing warmed into new life. The success of
Cleveland will reopen no closed contro-
versies. 1t will simply mean q change in
the man at the helm Old issues between
Republicans and Democrats have lost their
force. New issues are slowly replacing
them. There are many indications that an
important turning point III the domestic poll
ties of the Union has been reached
The Telegraph likewise finds a subject for
comment i'll the American election 1t
greatly rejoices that whoever is successful
no cloud in the horizon threatens
to overshadow the existing amity of
America and England. Englishmen
can afford TO await the result with entire
confidence. Whether Blaine or Cleveland is
elected, there will he no dissolution of the
continuity of harmony and good will hap

GUILDERLAND STATION, n. Y, Nov g.
Fifty years ago thu JGpp family, famous
Hudson valley buttcr-makers Of that day,
occupied the farm now belonging to Charles
NcChesney, near the station. Mrs JUp.'s
butter was always packed in peculiarly
shaped earthcl crooks, and commanded a
high price in the Albany and
other markets. Before sending a crock
Of butter to market it was her custom to
lower it into we'll on the promises which
was noted for its very coldswater. Mrs.
Jupp would leave the butter hanging in the
water for several hours, and when taken out
it would be as hard and cold as ice. One day
in 1884 she was lowering n crock Of butter
into the well when the rope broke, and the
crock fell to the bottom. No effort was
ever made TO recover it. For the
first time in its history this well be-
came almost dry during the recent
long drought in this vicinity. A few days
ago Farmer McChesney was cleaning the
well out when he found the crock Mrs Jupp
had lost fifty years ago. In taking the crock
from The well McChesney accidentally broke
it. 1t was about ne-quarter full of buttor,
which was as solid and sweet as it was the
day it was put down half century ago
The crock and its contents are ON exhibition
at the McChesney farm, and hundreds have
called to see them.

presented at the Exchange bank the answer
was that no funds had been provided to meet
