marked casually upon the singular

thorities." He knew all the law there
was on any point, and he had it at his
tongues end. When he was on the
bench in Massachusetts the lawyers
said they wanted his opinion whenever
it was q question which could be settled
by an appeal to presidents. But when,
ever q new question arose upon which
no Judge had ever passed they wanted
to hear from some one else. Gushing
did not know how to converse. An ex-
change of ideas, such as occurs in the
ordinary conversation, was beyond his
grasp. He could talk for hours when
he had mounted the pedagogue's stool
jim fact he loved to talk when he could
get into that didactic strain. He liked
to instruct other people at no matter
what expense of time and trouble. de
loved his family very dearly. His at
tachment to his nearest relatives was
very much closer than is usual. But he
found difficulty in expressing his sffec.
ton. They had very little in common,
and when he was with them Gushing

then he would break in with remarh
almost incomprehensible TO them.

Brandy Bursting Its Barrels.

The trouble in Egypt affects all Eu'
rope. even including the brandy mer-
chants of Russia. The quantity of spir-
its exported last year from Odessa ex-
ceeded that of any previous year. The
reason given for thisis that last summer
an agency was established at Alexan.
dria by the Russian Steamboat and
Commercial Company, which undertook
the sale of Russian spirits in the Alex
audrian market. At the beginning il
promised well, and the Constantinople
and Greek markets lost for the time
icing in importance. But owing to re,
cent events things have taken another
turn at Alexandria, and large quaint.
tv of Russian spirits have been slowed
away in the vaults of the Custom-house
to save it from the heat The effort has
been vain. for the heat is bursting the

shown that the prospects of the Odesss
merchants are anything but satisfactory

TIE NEXr PRESrDENr.

In spite of all claims or reports and rumors
the readers of the GLOBE can rest assured
that Cleveland and Hendricks will receive at
least 219 electoral votes. The illumination
Of committees, the quaking of the Office
holders, and the claims made by those who
illustrate that when the wine is in the wit is
out, will not change the existing fact, that
the Democrats have elected and will in
augurate their president.
That some men would be willing to steal
the presidency by fraud is undoubtedly true,
but in the face of the popular uprising which
this country witnessed last night they will
not dare to attempt it. The GLOBE does not
believe the great mass of the Republican
party desire fraudulent count, and the I'M
scrupulous men who would be willing to do
the dishonest work, if they could succeed,
have sufficient note of warning to deter
them.
The contest is unfortunately close, but
that is no reason why it should not be hon.
est. It's fortunate, too, that it is confined

lake care Of themselves.
There need be no fear. The s'oficial
count, . which we hear so much about, will
give the state of New York to the Democ-
racy.

vanderbilt's Congratulations.

ALBANY, n. Y, Nov. S.-There is no d.
minuation in the number of congratulatory
dispatches that were received by President
elect Cleveland to-day. Col. Lamont, the
governors private secretary, and several
attaches of the Office we're constantly en-
ployed opening and arranging the messages.
At least 1000 of these have been received
during the last two or three days, and they
have come from nearly every state in the
Union. The governors mail is also
exceedingly large. The executive
chamber was thronged with visitors
all day, and many of them shook the presi-
dent-elect by the hand. Among the callers
was ex-secretary of the treasury, Benjamin
F. Brstow.
The following letter was received by Gov.
Cleveland from VIM. II. Vanderbilt:
''Hon. G. Cleveland. Ny Dear Sir: I
congratulate you and the people Of the whole
country upon your election to the presidency
of the United States You owe your election,
in my Judgment to the fact that the people
believed you to be an honeet man, and not
to any particular efforts made by any fac
ton, or made by the Republican or
Democratic party. Independent men,
who care more for good government
than parties or individuals, have made you
their choice, because they were convinced

THE Democratic meetings held last night
throughout the country were powerful pro-
test against the Republican scheme to count
out the President-elect. Against this pur-
pose, in behalf of which Blaine made an ap-
peal Thursday from his Augusta residence, the
people were ready with quick response that
viii not be misunderstood Blaine will not
be permitted to plunge the country into a
war merely to permit him to seize the presi-
Dental Office to which he is not elected. 1t
will be a curiosity of American pro-
priety and integrity, if in
the face of an overwhelming
public sentiment Blaine can find one repu-
table man who is willing to become his agent
and I'm dertake to carry out the project Of his
mad, dishonest desperation. The business
men of the country will not tolerate the am
billions that animated Blaine. In word, he
cannot reach the Presidency by fraud and
chicanery. The people are against him.
They have voted him down and down he will
STAY.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.l
NEW YORK, Nov. S-The political agony is
over and settled. Calm succeeds the tumult
that has reigned here since election day. IT
is conceded by all parties that Cleveland has
carried that state by plurality OF over LOCO.
The Tribune dies hard, and would not ac-
knowledge openly That this was the case this
morning, but in an extra, dated
$3.50 O'Clock, gave the Asso-
ciated Press figures, showing 1,460
plurality for Cleveland, with eighteen dis
tricts to hear from, which in 1880 gave Gar
field 736 votes. There is total lack Of ex
element here to-day and no further betting.
In Wall street bets upon the general result
and even upon New York state are being
generally paid this afternoon. The bulletin
boards in newspaper row and at
the up town hotels attract no
attention and no new bulletins
are being put out. The proposed Democratic
mass meeting at the sub-treasury steps TO in
stitute measures to insure an honest count
will be changed into ratification meeting,
and it is expected the call will be issued for
an early day next week. AT the request Of
the Democratic state committee John Kelly
ordered salute of 100 guns fired in front of
Tammany hall at II O'Clock to-day.
WILLIAM HENRY SMITH SPEAKS.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Nov. s-Wm. Henry Smith,
manager of the Associated Press says: Our
footing show that Cleveland has a plurality
of 1, AGO, There are eighteen places 10 hear
from officially, which may reduce this some
what. If Garfields majorities in those places
are accepted, the plurality for Cleveland
will be IA, but IL is dou btful if Blaine polls
as large a vote in those precincts as Garfield,
hence Cleveland's plurality may be accepted
as about 1000. This calculation of course
is based on returns which have. been received
from the various precincts at this Office from
persons believed to be reliable and who also
have served the Associated Press acceptablY
in other years. An examination of the re-
turns shows a great difference Of ratio of
gain or loss in different sections hence the
differing calculations.

THE Republicans resort to all kinds Of
tricks to keep up their dropping spirits. On
Friday afternoon the Dispatch put out bulle-
tin stating that the district election returns,
as received by the Associated Press, gave
Blaine the state. The same bulletin as it
came by telegraph, announced that the
county clerk returns, which we're correct,
changed the district figures and gave the
state to Cleveland by 1000 plurality. The
Dispatch deliberately put out the first part as
a bulletin and suppressed last.

AS an evidence of the hopes on which a
few Of the Republicans pin their faith it can
be stated that John j. O'Brien, custodian of
New York city election returns, claimed to
have discovered an error of 425 in Blaine's
favor. Two days investigation by the exam
lining lawyers show the returns to be correct.
