American News in Russia.
The newspapers of this city and o
Moscow have devoted good deal o
space to the late presidential canvas
in the United States, writes st. Peters
burg correspondent of The NcW YOra
Sun. Those who have carefully pc
rused all the dispatches and letter;
sent here from New York, Washington,
and San Francisco have been kept
very well posted on all the political
issues Of the great American republic.
The N0Uoe Vrcmid, the PcdOmOsh, and
the NoUost, of this capital faithfully fol-
lowed the campaign, beginning with the
nomination of the candidates for pres
ident. They gave in full the platforms
of the parties, and biographies Of all
the candidates, including Belva Lock-
wood and ST. John. Regularly every
week they published long American
letters, reporting in detail the progress
OF the campaign. The Sun and
some other American papers are
largely quoted here. And yet within
few days have been led 10 suspect
that, with few exceptions, the Rus
slams actually know nothing about
America.
Recently the Noyoe Vremia, the news
lest of Russian papers, which has been
printing correct kilograms on the elcc-
ton returns, said:
"According to the latest news from !
New York concerning the coming cleo
ton of u new president of the United
States, which is to be held on March
4, 1885, victory will be on the side of
the democratic candidate, Mr.. Cleve-
land, who had received 2l9 electoral
votes against 1872 votes for Mr.. Blaine.
With eighteen votes over the required
majority, Mr.. Cleveland can be con-
sidered as the next president of the
union, provided however, that during
the four months that remain up TO
March 4, 1885, there shall not happen
some event which might force the dem
ocrats to put up another candidate. In
America, where political campaigns
are conducted by all means, legal and :
illegal, every thing is possible, and in !,
view of the tragic end of Lincoln and
Garfield, Mr.. Cleveland must observe
caution until the 4th day of March," y

"The proprietor of our journal finds u

conscientiously and ably; but the u
members of the editorial staff are not

they mix things up"
