rhe Ohio Election.

/
!, The official returns from the cleo
ton in Ohio, as compiled by the Sec
rotary of State, are as follows:
For Secretary Of State Robinson
| (R) 39I,599; Newman (D), 3So,275;
Morris P), 1857; Herald (G, $3.50.
For Supreme Judge johnson (R)
392,917; Martin (D), 378,963; Rosen-
borough (P),9,s75; Grogan (G) $3.50.
For member of Board of Public
Works Fhckinger (R) ,393,sS5 Bon
fer (D), 376,S02; kirkendall GU, o.
|U04; Ogden (G), 1921.
Robinson, for Secretary Of State,
headed the Republican ticket, as Ohio
does not elect Governor this year.
His plurality over Newman, who
headed the Democratic ticket, was
1924, but he is in min rity of
2,0l3 votes, though the total vote was
the heaviest ever polled in the State.
In 1880 General Garfield had plu-
rality Of 34,227 over General Han
cock, and majority Of 25,l55 over
Democrats, Greenbackers and Pro-
hibitionists combined. 1T is conced-
ed that the recent election was as
warmly contested as any ever held in
the State, and that the full Republic
an vote was polled, yet the returns
show that the head of the Republic
an ticket received minority of the
total vote. This shows that the drift
of political sentiment is not toward
the Republican party. General Gar
fields majority of over $4,000 has
been more than overcome by the COM
bined opposition, though several
prominent Republican newspapers,
which oppose Blaine, advocated the
election of the Republican, State tick
ct two weeks ago. Ii proportionate
changes occur in the Western States
next Tuesday, several of them will
cast their electoral votes for Cleve-
land.

The particulars of the accident on
the Boston & Albany railroad, show
that it was caused by train wreck

express car jumped over it, and the
baggage and smoking cars piled on

Loves to Talk Too We'll.
Atlanta Constitution.

/ know a farmer who is good,
clever man and behaves himself de-
Gently, but he loves to talk so we'll he
can't work. He will talk about the
weather for half an hour without stop
ping. He came to my house the 9TH
err day to borrow a spade and said he
was in powerful hurry to get back.
Without thinking of the consequent
ces | just asked him if the storm dam
aged his corn any, and that started
him. He told about storms and hur-
ricanes from away back to his boy
hood, and how a man hung to sap
ping and never got nary bruise, but
the wind blew his breath away and
didn't give him time to draw another,
and SO he died for want of breath,
Just like cow dies when she loses
her cud. He couldn't work his bel
lows in such a wind. And he told
how another storm blew an old COW
head foremost against poplar tree
and stuck both her horns in it so deep
they couldn't pull her out by the tail,
and had to saw her horns aft and leave
'em in the tree, and they are there
now. And SO he kept on until l told
him / had to go, for | was in hurry
too. That man has lost half of his
life in talking. 1t always scares me
to see him coming.

swallowed fifteen at one sitting, and
then crowed over his victory.
Frank d. Millet, who had some
maple sugar in his trunk on his arri-
val in England, was detained twenty
four hours by the police while they
experimental to see If the compound
would explode.
Within few days thirty-nine ed
itors and reporters of the New York
Herald, many of whom had been con-
nected with the paper for years, were
summarily discharged, causing SEN
sation in journalistic circles.
II don't like these Shoes" said a
lady customer, "because the soles are
too thick" "Is that the only objec-

"Yes,n was the reply. "Then, madam,
if you take the shoes assure you that
that objection will gradually wear
away"
Carl Schurz: SIN Ohio the crying
shame of the campaign was the use
made Of the pension bureau, and that
should be set before the American
people in the strongest colors. When
a bureau of the National Government
is used to carry State election the
time has come for honest men to rouse
themselves and take prompt action
News of the terrible triple tragedy
in Calhoun county, West Virginia,
has been received. Mrs. johnson,
while temporarily insane, mixed some
arsenic with sugar and gave it to her
three step-children. One refused to
cat, but the other two partook of tt e
fatal compound and died in few
minutes. Mrs. Johnson then swat
lowed some of the poison herself and
soon died. She was a sister-in law
of ex-Postmaster Johnson, who re-
Gently defrauded the Government
out of 100000 and then eloped with
a woman. He was afterward arrest
ed at Covington, Kentucky.
A New York dispatch says: 1t is
stated that OK Senator Roscoe Conk-
ling has decided to come out openly
against Blaine and support Cleveland.
He will probably address mass
meeting IN this city on Wednesday
or Thursday. The Cleveland and
Hendricks Produce Club has invited
him, and he has decided to accept.
The arrangements for the meeting
are not yet completed, but it will be
the greatest thing of the kind ever
known in this city. Conkling's friends
say that he would have spoken earlier
had he believed that there was any
danger of Blaine's election. He is
disinclined to re-enter the political
field, and was determined not to do
so. But now he yields, at the solicit
tation of his Stalwart friends, who
desire him to take determined stand
for an honest government, and he
and they unite and bolt against Blaine.
An glo-Egyptian official, just
returned from Cairo, gave some inter

that his name should not be divulged.
He says the situation in Egypt is de-
plorable. The city of Cairo especial

preparations for the Nile Expedition
Money is pouring into the country
not only from England, but also from

We hear but little grumbling this
winter about taxes or the valuation at
which property was assessed and
about all of what we do hear comes
from nonresident pine land specula-
tors, and yet, us rule, they would
value their land at not less than twice
the value the Assessor put them at. A
locality which gathers little or no
taxes can safely be put down as II To-
cality without life or aclivity-a. dead
locality-which everybody will shun.
1t is just as impossible to have good
live, growing town or county without
Il liberal taxation, Us it is to have
clear daylight without the sun. Our
increased taxation is only a positive
proof Of our good health and growth.

Death of Peter Dean.

Mr. Denis Dean of this city, was not
little surprised on Tuesday last to
learn that his brother, Mr.. Peter Dean
of Duluth, was lying at deaths door,
and could not live but few hours at
most Mr. Dean started for Duluth
as soon as possible and reached the
bedside of his brother Tuesday after
noon, and was with him when the
death summons arrived, Tuesday even
ing. Although the deceased had been
in poor health for several wears from
affections of the heart, he was able to
attend to his business affairs and was
on the streets up to Saturday last,
and his friends on this side Of the bay
lear led of his illness and death almost
in the same breath. The deceased
was an entire stranger to us, and in
the absence Of his brother, we can get
no further information regarding his
life than that given by the Duluth
Tribune of Thursday morning, as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Dean was fifty-five years ofage,
having been born in New York city
in 1928. He located in business at
Ontonagon, Mich, on this lake, over
thirty years ago, removing to Supe-
rior in 1854. In 1857 he removed to
Houghton, Mich, and from there to
Duluth in 1868. In 1873 he was
mayor of the city, and in 1879 prcsi-
dent Of the village of Duluth. Mr..
Dean was meyer married. He has Il
brother, Dennis Dean, of Superior,
and Il sister, Mrs Duryea, of New
York. The latter will arrive here to-
morrow. His estate is probably worth
about 100000. He was a stockhold-
cr in the American Exchange Bank
OF this city, owner of stock in the rich
Calumet and lIecla copper mines Of
upper Michigan, and was running
a store at Northern Pacific Junction
He was owner of twenty or more 10
in Duluth, many of them being AT
Rice's Point. In his will, which was
not made until Sunday, all his Du-
luth real estate is bequeathed to the
village on condition that it be improv.
ed for public parks. The will as
whole Will not be made public until
after the funeral, which will take
place from the Hotel ST Louis at

New Years day for 1891 dawned
bright and pleasant and continued 50
throughout the day and evening, and
all our people seemed II thoroughly
enjoy the occasion. Both calling and
receiving was INDUCED in by both
gentlemen and ladies. y party Of
gentlemen received at the parlors of
the kuykendaII House, and another
party at the City Drug Store, which
latter place WAS handsomely ,lecorat-
ed and Illuminated, the windows be-
ing darhoned, and everything arrang-
ed in excellent taste, and all well
managed by the young men. In the
evening the buSs sleighs were charter
cd and the young people all turned
out for good old fashioned sleigh
ride, and Judging from the merry peals
Of laughter that ever and anon rang
out upon the frosty air, we know they
had good time and it made us al
most wish to be young again. Miss
Matte Bradshaw, Miss Mamie KIM
ball, Mrs. Clinton Ansley and Mrs.
|. W. Burhans, received at the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Peter L. Bradshaw,
while Mrs. II. Hayes assisted by Mrs.
JAS. Newton Miss Myra McNicar,
Mrs. Geo. Perry, Miss Mildred Perry,
Mrs. l.. Dauby, and Miss Gertrude

report to the news gatherer. All in
all it was a Happy New Year com
mencement, and that it may continue
Il happy and prosperous year to its
close, is the wish of the TINES.

Application has been made by some
of our citizens, to the Grand Lodge of
the Temple of Honor, for this State,
for charter to establish subordinate

doubt, be question for political dis
cussion and action in the Presidential
campaign now near at hand, and as
such will have TO be met, discussed
and acted upon by all people in the
near future. Without doubt Tenn
pie will soon be organized in Superior,
and with proper management may be
the means of doing much good.
