Announcing the Triumphant Election of
Blaine.
NEW York, November TT

NEW YORK, November 1.-THE follow
ing comes from Republican headquarters:
The Republican National Committee re-
joices that the returns now received warrant
it in announcing the triumphant election of
Blaine and Logan. The Republicans have
carried every Northern State except New
to have given q majority for the Republican
cause and ticket, and there is strong prob
ability that West Virginia has also, while
other Southern States are still in doubt.
The Northern States alone, how
ever, give to Blaine and Logan 225
electoral votes, and inSures their election.
In New York attempts to tamper with the re-
turns have already been detected. The ac-
tual vote cast in New York City, Kings Coun-
ty and 1852 election precincts gave at the ut
most only AS plurality to Grover Cleveland,
while l63 precincts not yet heard from gave
2, III plurality to Garfield. There is, there
fore no ground for doubt that the
honest vote of the State has been given
to the Republican candidate, and although
the defeated candidate for the Presidency is
the head of the election machinery in this
State, the Democratic party, which has noto-
riousIy been the party of fraud in elections
for years, will not be permitted to thwart the
will of the people. The National Republican
COMMITTEES calls on the Chairman and the in
dividual members of all County Committees
to take the promptest and most stringest
means to protect the sanctity of the ballot.
The Republican candidates have been hon
estly e Iected beyond question. Any at
tempt to cheat the people and defeat their
Will thus expressed at the polls must be
sternly exposed and resisted by every law
abiding citizen.

THE ETERNAL QUESE

When paths are tTod unknown before,
And tae first thrill of joy is DER,
The first glad consciousness is past
That what we sought is gained at last
Then as before the soul would fain
Reach out some newer field TO gain.
SO may it be when life on earth
-1s merged into the higher birth
For who shall dream in rapid change
Dear Nature works by method strange?
But rather in familiar phuse,
In gradual and delightful ways,
Shall then, as now, with gentle hand,
Still point us to some promised land?
Shall lead us in the pathways bright
From thought to thought, from height to
height
Progression is the souls strong cry:
Not rest alone can satisfy;
BeauteOus the realm, happy and best
Which shal' f-laIl the souf's reouestI

Blaine all Right.

NEW YORK, November 1.-THE Matt
and Express special from Augusta, Me-,
says: "Mr. Blaine's house is flooded
with messages and dispatches tonight.
Returns from New York State and Indi-
ana are anxiously awaited. Blaine has
received many messages from both these
States tending to show that he has car
ried both States. Mr.. Blaine looked
well. Reports that he is i'll are without
foundation.

Dispersed by the Police.

NEW YORK, November Ga large and
excited crowd, numbering several hun
bred persons, assembled in front of the
Western Union building last night boot
ing, shouting, burning paper, etc. A
large force of police were detailed from
the lower precincts of the city who quick
ly dispersed the throng. A large body of
police, however, remain in charge
of the building. Inspector
Thorne, Acting Superintendent of
Police, established his headquarters
at the Twenty ninth Precinct Police Sta
ton, and issued an order to all cap
tains to keep their off p1atoons on duty
as reserves until further orders. Captain
Williams stopped a Democratic pro-
cession on Broadway composed of sew
eral thousand persons, and arrested the
leader. Up to a late hour there was no
further signs of disturbance.

Almost a Riot.

AUGUSTA, Me-, November THE city
was wild last night Both parties paraded
the streets. There was much nl-feeling.
a HalloWel man entered the Democratic
headquarters and kicked in the head of a
big base-drum. He was arrested.
The Democrats purchased new drum
and came out on the streets.
On receipt of the National Republican
Committees proclamation the Republi-
cans hoWled like demons. Both parties
then renewed their parading and firing
rockets. The man who was beating the
Democratic drum was struck in the head
by a brick, receiving a severe wound and
having one eye injured. Matters grew
dangerous, until cooler heads persuaded
both parties to return to their headquar-
tiers. This they did, but the Republicans
soon came out again, followed by the
Democrats, and pandemonium reigned.
Only by strong efforts on the part Of the
police were the two parties kept from a
collision.

NEW YORK. november O.-1l6 excite
mont in this city tonight over the cleo
ton remains undated, and thousands OF
persons visited the two National head
quarters in hopes of ascertaining some
thing definite as to the results. The
hotels were also crowded with anxious
throngs, and at the Hoffman House offers
of three to one were made that Cleveland
had carried the State. At nine O'Clock the
Seventh Regiment band marched down
TWenty-fourth street and serenaded the
Democratic headquarters. The street
was packed by at least 5000 people who
kept a continual roar of cheers for Cleve-
land followed by the cry "No, no, no
'76!" and Gould, Gould, Blainel" In
acknowledging the serenade Senator Cor
man scid:
Cleveland and Hendricks have unquestion-
ably carried the State of New York, and have
beyond doubt 919 electoral votes. One Presi-
dent, duly elected, has been deprived of his
Office by fraud; but such a disgrace will new
er again be permitted in this country.
The excitement is intense and seems to
be increasing. The crowds are very en-
thusiastic, yet good-natured, and, SO far,
orderly, although all sorts of rumors are
in circulation, as to what is likely to oc-
cur should the returns be delayed much
longer.
United Press Versus the Western Union.
NEW YORK, November 6.-Yesterday
afternoon the Associated Press in q
statement printed in the New York Even-
ing Post figured out a plurality of 1900
for Blaine in New York State. At this
hour, with only twenty three voting
precincts to hear from the Associated
Press makes Blaine's plurality 1872. No
explanation of this sudden decrease of
upward of 10000 in Blaine's alleged
plurality is given. The United Press has
not been able at any time since the polls
closed, on Tuesday afternoon, to find
plurality for Blaine, but fearful that there
might be errors in its data, it has re-
Trained until now from making its
differences public All it's estimates,
however, have been carefully made
and they have been compared with fig
ures received by others, including those
received by the Associated Press, and the
outcome of many conferences between it's
experts has uniformly been strengthen
ing of the belief that the small plurality
which will be shown when the official
vote is announced will be in favor of
Cleveland instead of Blaine. At this
time the Republicans still figure a small
plurality for Blaine, and the Democrats
claim they have 1000 or 1900 plurality
for Cleveland. The chances are that it
will require an absolute count of the Off
cial vote to settle the question of who
is elected. The probabilities are certain
~ in Clereland's favor.

lila &c is Manure.

This saving is true TO certain ex-
tent, but we must not be misled by it.
We all know that if the soil is well pre-
pared Ivy deep blowing and thorough
narrowing, and the see well and care
fully planted, follow, d ~ thorough
cultivation, we very o ten obtain a good
crop where we are certain that lad we
been rem SIS in any of these essentials
we would certa nly have had an un.
profitable one; thus tillage is manure,
that is, it helps Us raise crop where
these directions are fully carried o It.
To say that our crops would be as
good in the same sol and with the same
Iultivat on as though a good appli a.
ton OF manure were given, am sure,
from my own eXperiente G, would be go
ing too far, and claiming too much.
I am convinced every year more firmly
of the fact that it will pay to spend
more time and labor in t. e preparation
of our crops, for in so doing we help
them along somewhat the same as
would an appli alton of n anure. But
am also ;ualy well assured that in
order to Obtain the very best of re ults,
not only must there e thorough tillage
of the soil before and after planting,
but also the soil must be kept as rich as
possil lie. | lave never, as farmer,
been able by either of these two meth
DDS to get my land too rich, even in the
garden where take special pains to have
1t made as rich as | can, by using ashes.
poultry manure, lime, rOtton chips or
wood, as well a a liberal supply of
barn-yard manure. l can not recall
one ngl ms ance OF crop being in
the least damaged by the soil b ing too
rich. While | know that very much is
gained by thorough tillage, yet can not
give up TO acknowledge but that the
most essential requirement of a large
crop is ri h soil Have this to com.
mence with, and then take proper care
to prepare, plant and cultivate,
and we are reasonably sure of profit
able crop.
There is no question that tillage with.
out cropping is very beneficial to thin
land; but few farmers are willing to do
this. In fact, it is generally more prof
table, as well as economical, to plant
or SOW some kind of crop, even If it Is
plowed under as a green manure, than
to fallow and till without crop of any
kind.
in my experience l have concluded
that the making and sowing, and then
properly applying of al the manure
possible, is the first essential in success
full farming. The longer l farm the
better satisfied am that as rule we all
farm too much land; that we could
materially increase our profits if a
smaller acreage was planted and Guilt
waited; more t me given to making and
applying manur, S, and more thor
ough preparation and cultivation of
what we plant. Profitable farming is
in raising what we do raise at the
smallest cost per bushel or pound, and
to obtain this we must study the most
approved and latest plans. Prairis

away he fell int the slush and lay
there. When the woman had given
