BOUNDING UP TIE YEARS
SHIPMENT.

Northwestern Live Stock Journal.
It has been generally understood
among cattle-owners of this section
that the run of beef for the q OF
1884 would fall considerably below
that of 1883. Various reasons have
been assigned for the belief, but the
leading one were the fact that the
high market price last year induced
y liberal cut of steers at the late
beef round-ups, and the short pur-
chase of Texas steers during '82 and
So. No one but figured a shortage of
twenty to thirty thousand head for
the season. But as the end of the
long string of cattle cars comes in
sight, it is learned that we are all
wide of the mark in our estimates.
On Sunday, October 26th, there had
been received at the Union stock
yards, South Omaha, 10000 head of
beef cattle, since the 18th day of
August. During the same time
there had been received at The yards
in Council Bluffs 5000 head of
Western cattle, in addition to those
fed at the Unlon yard, making a to-
tai of IS, 900 head of 1884. There have
been ordered since the date above
given, carr on the main line of the
Union Pacific to the number of 800.
Add to this the probable number
sent down over the D-nver branch
and the other lines unloading at
Omaha. and we have for the week,
say. 10000 head. Last year there
were received from the same region
1O7, OCO head. Thus we have the
whole , CT N&qqXXeRg4hsegF ,Aegd4 u Re e6Hbfi
ment of last years shipments. When
the exact figures of the seasons work
are cyphered out it will be found that
the shortage is "only in the mind"
The cattle are on the range, the hard
of 1883 not having had any
effect as sOme of our |
CT oakers in the early spring tried to
make the public believe.
The danger to the business lies, not
in possible shortage of steers, but in
an excess and consequent ~leanness of
carcass. caused by over-crowding
the range.

THH TARIFF IN THE HLECr1oN.

The election Of Cleveland to the
Presidency . .ttles the taria question
in favor Of the Deme6fatic policy a.
e~nunciated in thu Chicago platform.
This propositions cannot Be denied.
New York, Brooklyn and Jersey
City are swayed by the same indu-
ences and REPRESENT the same inter-
ests. They are the financial and
commercial pulse Of the nation. Az
far az popular sentiment is con-
cerned they may be regarded prac-
tically " one city. They are the
money centre of the country. These
cities gave Cleveland over $1,000 ma
jority.
Now the question occurs why
should the Democratic candidate re-
ceive such an overwhelming major
ity in those cities if the policy Of the
Democratic party upon the tariff
question would 90 productive of BUSH
ness ruin Can it be supposed that
men, shrewd and sharp In the active
contest of business life, e such con-
summate fools as to help to put into
power q party that would destroy
them? The idea Is too prepoeterous
10 admit of debate. The large vote
given to Mr.. Cleveland in those cities
Is q sufficient refutatlon of the Re.
publican campaign argument that
the business interests of the country
would be ruined by committing the
affairs of the Nation to the Demo-
cratic party.
Connecticut also largely sympa-
thizes with New York. Their husl-
ness interests are inseparable. What
Injuries the n Injuries the other.
What promotes the good of the one
promotes tine good of the other, and
we find Connecticut rolling up re
spectacle majority for a Democratic
President and q Democratic policy.
Indiana Is another State extensively
engaged in manufactures. 1t was
there that Nj. Blaine made some of
his most eloquent speeches, eulogiz-
ing the beauties of a high protective
tariff. In his seductive manner he
presented the gu. stiOn in It's most
favorable aspects. But the Hoosiers
had seen enough of q Republ. can
tariff policy and rejected him and
his party. They, with the people of
the other States named, believe that
what benefits trade and commerce
benefits labor and have come to the
that a Democratic adj
ministration will be the working
mans best friend.

Eureka Sentinel. The returns from
this State are still incomplete. But
enough is known to warrant the
statement that the Republicans have
made a clear sweep. They hsve car
ried the State for Blaine by 1,220 ma
Congressman, 700; Supreme
Judge, 800, and the Legislature
almost two to one. Tuesday was .
bad day for Democrats in this lati-
tude. The Republicans "sacked''
the State from top to bottom.

which it was supposed would cut an
important figure in the election,
proved to be a most insignificant af-
fair. 1t affected nothing except
making q few thousand votes for
Blaine. But the remarkable features
of the campaign were the failure of
the two great political parties to join
issue. The Republican party having
successfully and adroitly failed to Law
down any definite and distinct prin.
ciples in it's platform, completed its
part of the performance by taking a
candidate who vas forced to defend
himself from the start. The entire
campaign of the party was q defen-
sive one. 1t presented no principles
and indicated no line of policy which
would govern 1t IN case an extension
of power was given it. The SPEAKERS
and the candidate left it to be in
ferred that if the party were victo-
ri0us in the contest it would be gov
erned by the same old principles and
pursue the same old policy of the
past. The whole time of the party's
orators was devoted to effsrts of de-
of the Democratic candI-
date for President.
The Democrats, on the other hand,
have waged a positive, pronounced
and aggressive campaign throughout.
The charges against their candidate /
we're thoroughly answered early in

NEW YORK'S OANVASSlNG
BOARD.

The eyes of the nation were turned
towards New York yesterday. Ac'
cording to previous dispatches the
canvassing board was to meet there
and canvass the vote of the State.
The arrangements for performing
this duty as prescribed by the stat
utes of the State are excellent and
make it next to impossible for the
Republicans to deprive the Demo-
Gratis of their hard won victory by
falsifying the returns.
Under the law of the State every
voting precinct has four canvassers,
two from each party, and two watch
ers selected from opposite parties.
In addition to these is n Election
Supervisor and the usual complement
of clerks. After the closing Of the
polls the ~canvassers organize by
choosing q chairman, and the votes
are counted in the presence of the
Supervisor and Watchers. After
this duty is performed four different
lists are made out, all of which must
exactly agree before they are signed.
The ballots are then placed In the
box with one of the four polling lists.
The box is fastened with . paddock.
sealed with wax and sent to the
Election board of the county, one of
the duplicate lists being also sent
separately to the same board. The
third list is fl fled fdIuKFVil th !. tbs tyht f g Ptgg
Of State.
The county board of election re-
can vases the vote for all the pre-
clncts in the county, and transmits
the result to the State canvassing
board which consists of the Secretary |
of State. Auditor and several other
Stale officers, five in all, three Demo-
Gratis and two Republicans. The Sec
of State is the custodian of
the returns and delivers them to the
board when that body !
meets.
1t may thus be seen that it Is a very
difficult matter to falsify the returns
with COLLISION upon the part of
the precinct, county or
State c~anvassing toard. A further
of confidence may be found
in the resOlute attitude of the Demo-
cratic central committee Of New
They have declared their pur-
pose to see fair play and to prevent
any tampering with the vote as act
laily cast. With all these safeguards
around the ballot box in New
York Democrats may rest assured
hat Cleveland's plurality will not
vary much from the figures already
given unless the most bare-faced
frauds are perpetrated by the Repub-
leans. and the people Of the country
not tolerate even their shadow.

Now that the election of Cleveland
la conceded upon all sides interest in
the result In other States outside of
New York Is subsiding. Illinois and
Massachusetts, are very close, and
some little inquiry Is made concern
ing them. Carter Harrison claims
Illinois for the Democrats, but the
claim cannot be allowed without fur
Their advices. These may not he re-
ceived for a day or two.

THE ELECLED COUNTY OFF.
GERS.

Silver Bow county is to be con-
graduated in possessing good men
and true to Ill the offices within the
gift of her people. Three tickets
were presented for the suffrages of
her voters. and if the entire ticket of
either had been elected the affairs of
the county would be ably and eco.
nomically administered during the
next two years. The people, how
ever, elected a large majority Of the
officers from the Democratic ticket,
many of them having served in
the offices to which they have been
elected. The District Attorney, Treas
urer, County Clerk and Recorder
Probate Judge, Councilman, and one
of the members elect of the Legisla-
tive Assembly, Mr.. Forbes, being
among those who have proved their
fidelity to the interests of the people
and their ability to discharge the
trusts conferred npon them.
1t ia in no sense q reflection upon
the defeated candidates of the opposi-
ton to say that better and truer men
could not have been selected by the
people. They have pledged them
selves to discharge the duties of their
several offices faithfully, and their
past record is q sufficient guarantee
that they will not disappOint those
who have cOnf1ded in their promises,
Mr.. Eugene Sullivan, the sheriff
elect, is a young man of energy and
ability, who will take pride in con- |
Quoting the duties of his Office in q
manner to meet the approval of the
people of the county. Two years ago !
MI. Sullivan ran for the office. The
MINER heartily supported him. |
What it then said in regard to the !
superior fitness of the gentleman for
the office 1t takes pleasure in en-
phaslzing now. Mr.. Weisman, the
assessor elect, Mr.. Booher, the super
intendent of common schools elect, !
and Mr.. Harper, County surveyor
elect, have made themselves known
to the people during the campaign,
and that they are elected must be re
garded as evidence they have the full
confidence of the people.
The MINER takes pleasure in say
ing that the competitors of the sue.
cessful candidates r gentlemen of
undoubted ability and integrity and
that had they been elected the people
would have been ably served by
them.
DIR. Whitford, the successful candi-
date on the Republican ticket for
coroner, is q young physician of
great promise and thoroughly COM
In every way, to discharge

Army TRIALS,

We confess to q mild surprise ut
the annual report Of the jadge advo-
cate general Of the army, 20 fhr % Il
refers to the number of trials Of en-
listed men during the last fiscal year.
The statistics he presents read - fol-
lows:

1t appears from the above: First,
that nearly every tenth soldier had q
trial by general court martial during
the year; s. cond, that an average of
nearly one-half of all the men COM
posing the line of the army were
tried by garrison and regimental
court martial; third, that the NAM
Der of trials are regularly increasing
from year to year, the increase this
year over last being nearly two thou
sand. These trials, 1t must be re-
membered, do not include any of
the punishments which are inflicted
for minor offeuses, by order Of the
commanding officer at each post, and
which aggregate manifold more cases
than those presented by the different
courts martial. Altogether, the show
ing Is q remarkable one, and sug-
gests one OF two ideas, either that the
discipline In the United States army
is very severe, or that the care exer-
cised in the selection of recruits Is
not a. great as from assurance to
that effect we were led to believe.

The Black range. (Robinson, Socorro County, N.M.) 1882-1897, 1884-03-21

The citizens IN the town Of Kelley in
the Magdalena's, should know that an
order for an election to choose officers
for a school district in precinct number
eleven Of SocOIrO county, was made by
the board Of commissioners at their
meeting Oh the Sd inst, at the same
time as the organization of the district
in number twenty was allowed. This
fact was left out of the minutes Of the
meeting of the board of that date and
the SocOrrO Sun which was ordered TO
publish the notice, not having yet pro-
duced The advertisement ii is a natural
inference that the recorder has sup
pressed the action. The editor of the
RANGE wrote the proclamation, j. A
Thompson presented the petition tc
the board and both of US saw it signed.
The county recorderevidently stands in
with the Catholic opposition to public
schools and has made way with the
paper.
