TUESDAYS ELECTIONS
NEW YORK, VIRGINIA AND MARY
LAND CARRIED BY THE
DEMOCRACY.
THE REPUBLICAN TICKET ELECTED
In PENNSYLVANIA

Quay has been elected State Treas
urer by majority of 25,000 to $4,000
and the people of Pennsylvania have
vindicated his Pardon Board offenses.
In Philadelphia the whole ticket was
elected including Rowan for sheriff,
and the ex-convict Mouat. Iowa,
Nebraska, New Jersey and Massachu-
sets have also given republican majori-
ties David b. Hill is elected Cover.
nor of New York by $4,000 plurality,
and Fitz Hugh Lee is elected in Vir-
ginia. The legislature of the latter
state will be democratic and Malone is
buried out of sight. The majority is
nearly 10000.
Maryland was carried by the demo-
Gratis, and in Connecticut gains were
made by the democrats, in the legisla-
ture.
The republican candidate for sheriff
is electedin Montour county by 100 ma
jority. Frank E. Brockway was defeat
ed for prothonotary of Luzerne by 800.
Though the vote in Columbia was
light and the majority the smallest
known for years,the apathy here was no
greater than in some other counties. In
Berks the democratic majority falls off
25OO, and IN Northampton 1900.
There seems to have been no interest
in the election and the vote through
the state was light.

Literary Notices,

A writer In the forthcoming (November) HAR-
PERs treating Of ''The Defense Of our Sea-ports,"
points out that In nine of our seab)aId cities
alone property valued at 81, ,922 100000 is exposed
TO destruction In case OF war, because OF our lack
of seacoast defenses adequate to cope with the
navies Of the fighting powers. He sketches the
remarkable development of ordnance and armor
since our war, stimulated In large measure by Its
lessons, but in which we have had no part. The
new English guns throw shot of 1000 pounds
penetrating 30 inches of iron at distance OF
thousand yards. and have an Affecting range OF
six miles. The writer urges that Immediate pro-
vision should be made for an extensive torpedo
outfit, for gun factories capable OF producing the
modern guns and for general system OF coast de-
fence at an expenditure of ten millions a year
for six or seven years. It is announced that this
paper will be followed during next yevr in HAIR
PERs by careful study Of "The British Navy"
by Sir Edward Reed and by "a paper on Krupps
gun factory, both fully illustrated.
Those who have been conversant with the lead
ing English magazines will have noticed that OF
late years they have given much more space TO
what way be termed .'spook literature" Ghost
stories have abounded; and to meet the popular
demand the Editor OF THE NEW Moon has given
the post OF honor in the first number OF his NTH
volume to an article entitled, as This the Era Of
Ghosts ~ which gives many instances of ghostly
appearances In and around Boston and, strange
to say, they have the endorseme mt of being swell
authenticated" AS long as people will read such
literature, the supply Will equal the demand The
