We had an interview with Mr. Suther-
Hand who has Just returned from the Hoo
doc mines. He reports much snow yet ia
he mines, particularly ON the lat, and that
prospecting in the flats is very difficult and
HE digcings deep, only one hole had been
sunk TO the bedrock they encountered
much water. aud they took ont about 81
from that hole at depth of about 90 feet.
The gulches are short and the gold aot uni-
form through the gravel. He saw one ing
get taken out OF claim weighing SIS. DIR
ing the winter past considerable gold has
been taken out, all with rockers. Wilson
h Roberts are now constructing ditch
about one and three fonrths miles ia length
that will furnish 400 inches Of water at an
elevation of about 200 feet above the creek
bottom. With this ditch they hope to be
able to give these mines fair test. More
water can be furnished by a longer ditch
aud at higher elevation. If the testing to
be made will warrant the expense, Mr..
Sutherland will not return until the snow
disappears.

1t is clear enough now that the smoke and
dust of the French elections have cleared
away, that the Conservative victory was
really one of Republican conservatism, and
not of any royalist or imperial reaction. 1t
was simply the verdict of the sound and
sensible French voting class against the
forcible-feeble utterly mischievons and dan
gerous foreign policy of M. Ferry. In this
view it must have beneficial result, with
out threatening the stability Of the republic.
Says the Portland Transcript: The mer-
chants of our city, as body, favor the
foreclosure of mortgage on the Portland &
Ogdensburg; it was in the interests of our
trade that the road was projected and the
heavy burden assumed by the city; any
scheme which endangers the city's control OF
the road is to be viewed with diStrust, and
the city council, in view of the great respon.
sibility resting upon them, should act with
great deliberation and caution before decid-
ing upon the course to be pursued in this i'm
portant matter; the voice of our business
men should have great weight in determin-
ing their action.

rhE OHIO ELEcIIoN.

The size of the Republican victory In Ohio
Is Unexpectedly large. Ohio Is usually
Republican State to be sure and for the
last twenty years has with few exceptions
given Republican majorities. But this, year
the Republicans had many adverse cir
cumstances to contend with. In the first
place the national administration is Demo-
cratic and it was Inevitable that a goodman
men who had been accustomed to vote the
Republican ticket in past years simply be-
cause they believed the loayes and fishes
were there would grayitate to the DEM
ocratic party. In the second place the
Democrats had the State offices and whatev-
er influence the power of State patronage
could exert was used for the benefit Of the
Democratic party. In the third place the
Democrats had an abundance of money; and
finally the Prohibitionists had been max
ing an unusually vigorous campaign That
the Republicans should win in spite of these
disadvantages by plurality larger than a
year ago, is exceedingly gratifying to Repub-
licans all over the land and attests the vi
tally Of the Republican party,
The returns are not yet complete enough
for analysis, but it appears probable that
the Prohibition movement which the Demo-
Gratis so zealously promoted in the expecta-
ton that it would draw enough votes from
Foraker to secure his defeat proved SOME
thing Of boomerang. Apparently it made
quite serious inroads into their own ranks
For in some of the counties where the Pro-
hibitionists have made large gains the Dem
ocrats have met with corresponding losses.
IA T.. AI,1A ~,
anxiety to conciliate the saloon men over
stepped the bounds of prudence and drove
off some of the better element Of his
party. There is reason to believe also
that some of the hungry and thirsty who are
tired of waiting to be filed may have voted
the Prohibition ticket for the purpose Of re-
buking the President for his slowness in fill
ing the Offices.
Quite as gratifying to Republicans as the
result on the State ticket is the election of a
Republican legislature which will return
John Sherman to the Senate We suspect
that to great many Democrats of the Buck
eye State also this result is not a source
Of melancholy. The prospect Of another
coal oil senator In the person of John r. Nc
Lean who stands for all that is bad in the DEM
ocratic politics of Ohio, who is VIGOROUSLY
corrupt himself and the leader of corrupt
gang, was one which the respectable part of
the Democracy contemplated with hardly
less aversion than did the Republicans.
One effect of the election will doubtless be
to unloose the tongue of those of the Ohio
Democracy-a very large body no doubt
who have been exceedingly angry at the
President for not making a clean sweep.
Their fayorite explanation Of the defeat will
be that it was due to the lukewarmness of
the administration, and the President will be
| soundly berated for 1t.

Eleven more states hold elections this fall,
all of which go to the polls on Tuesday, No
vember 3. Now that Ohio is settled political
interest and excitement are mainly confined
to New York and Virginia, both Of which
elect State officers and Legislature, and in
both of which exceedingly warm campaigns
are in progress The result in Massachusetts,
is foregone conclusion, and, nothwithstand-
ing the efforts of very premature Boston
daily to work up excitement by the stereo-
typed phrase, Robinson can be beaten" in
terest lags. Iowa elects State officers and a
legislature; Colorado elects supreme judge !;
Maryland comptroller and clerk of court of
appeals; Mississippi State officers and a
legislature, another foregone conclusion !;
Nebraska supreme judge and uniyer-
sity regent; New Jersey part of the
State senate and assembly; Connecticut half
the State senate and a full Iowa house !;
Pennsylvania elects only State treasurer,
but the campaign is made lively by the can
didacy of Col. Quay, whose nomination
aroused strong personal and political feelings.
The greatest interest, however, centers in
New York.
The Portland daily press., 1885-10-15

The Advertiser finds three errors in Judge
Symonds's remarks on the Portland & Ogdens-
burg In the first place according to the Ad-
vertiser he is in error in saying that the adj
vocates of the voluntary reorganization plan
propose to waive the foreclosure. The pur-
pose of the foreclosure in its opinion is to
whip the third mortgage bondholders into a
voluntary arrangement, and if 1t ac-
complishes that it will have served ''its end'
and cannot therefore be said to be waived.
1t had generally been supposed that the Mer-
camille Trust Company of New York which
began the foreclosure proceedings began
then with the design of getting the interest
on their bonds or the road, but it now appears
that it was for the purpose of enabling the
friends of voluntary reorganization to whip
in the third mortgage bondholders. "a
graver error" says the Advertiser, sis the
suggestion that it is proposed for the city of
Portland to waive its full title to this proper
ty for the purpose of admitting to priority of
claim some of the third mortgage indebted
ness" What Judge Symonds actually said
was this:
And certainly if it is proposed for the city of
Portland to waive its ful title to this property for
the purpose Of admitting to priority of claim, some
of this third mortgage indebtedness, if it proposed
to receive them into participation in the re0rgan
izati0n it is exceedingly Objectionable.
There is no error in that statement. The
error is in the Advertisers description of It,
The third error lies in Judge Symonds's ex-
preston of doubt of the roads ability to
pay the interest entailed by the new mort
cages proposed, after three responsible per-
sons had reported that they were convinced
that if the voluntary arrangement was car
ried out the net earnings of the road ap-
plicable to fixed charges would exceed
100000 year with prospect of an increase
in the near future. That there should be
some skepticism concerning the abilities of
the Portland & Ogdensburg railroad and
tendency to discount predictions in regard to
them, is not to be wondered at. A number Of
years ago it was predicted just as confident
", and no doubt just as honestly, that the
road was destined to be a great through line
to the West, as it is today that it will be
able to earn 100000 year above its operat-
ing expenses. Indeed the former prediction
was the more confident of the two apparent
". for the gentlemen who made the latter
have already lost confidence in it to such an
extent that they have thrown off the interest
on the $4,000 mortgage for two years
entirely, thus destroying the prospect OF that
immediate income to pay for sewers ana lun
the fire department, which has been one OF
the chief attractions of the voluntary organ
ization plan.

President Cleveland some time ago said
that the territorial offices should be filled
with residents of the territories. Shortly be-
fore his Inauguration he also promised that
this should be Democratic administration.
He seems to have neglected one promise
in order to carry out to the letter the other.
A Washington despatch tells us that the
reason why the President is appointing
Southern Democrats to the territorial offices
is because of their strong partisan zeal. For
this reason he prefers them to Northern
Democrats and for this reason he undoubt-
eddy prefers them to residents of the terrific
r1es. In LEGATIONS point strongly to an effort
on the part of the administration to make the
territories Democratic, after which there
will be no further Democratic opposition to
their admission.
