The Richmond Wing says if there could be
a full ballot and fair count in Virginia the
Republicans would sweep the State by 10000
majority, but making allowance for fraud
the Wing predicts that the Republicans will
carry the State by 5000 The Wing is prob
ably over-sanguine. A conservative estimate
is that the vote for governor will be very
close with the chances in favor of Fitz Hugh
Lee, the Democratic. candidate while the
legislature is likely to be Republican by a
small majority.

The Dominion government appears likely
to appoint commission to inquire into
Riel's mental condition. Sir John MacDon-
aid hesitates to carry out the death sentence,
and if there is any way to escape from it he
apparently means to find it. AS Riel has
once been an inmate of a mad house the COM
mission will probably find enough evidence
of mental unsoundness to create a plausible
pretext for committing his sentence. Cana
da has got quite enough trouble on her hands
without mourning the risk of war of races
which would be likely to result from Riers
execution.

The resignation of President Noah Porter
of Yale college, is something of a surprise to
the general public, though, as it seems it was
not entirely unexpected by the trustees. He
has been connected with the college as pro-
fessor and President since 1916 and has now
wide reputation as one of the ablest of
American scholars and educators. He is
now in his 10Th year, and his resignation is
probably due to feeling ON his part that
his important position should be filled by a
Younger man.

Simple reason of my resigning from the Coun-
ty Democracy Committee of the XVIIlth
Assembly District. i rendered my resigna-
ton as such on Saturday evening, and Mr..
H. G. Thompson had me discharged to-day,
which is Civil Service reform with veng-
eance, and as Mr.. Whitney has promulgated
through the newspapers that no man would
be discharged for politics, it comes very hard
on me, who have been dismissed for choosing
the ticket of Hill and Grant to Davenport
and White, and call on all readers Of The
World to rebuke this sham ticket, which is
formed solely to defeat the Democratic State
ticket i can substantiate the above If Mr..
Whitney desires to call me before him.

The comment of the Lewiston Gazette,
whose editor is understood to have called on
the President in behalf of Judge Cleaves, is
not very cordial to the new collector.
"Should the fears entertained of the I'M
favorable effect of his appointment in a
party sense, prove groundless, and the Presi-l
dents wisdom be indicated so much the better
for all concerned, it says. But it evidently
does not anticipate any such result. By the
way, the Gazette does not seem to be satisfied
with the Presidents general treatment Of
the Offices in this State. He hasn't turned
the Republicans out fast enough to suit it.

of the Anglo-Russian correspondence over

A Little Country Girl. By Susan Cool
idge. Boston Roberts Brothers; Portland:
Loring, Short & Harmony 1t goes without
saying that anything from the pen of Miss
Woolsey is sure to be charming, and her sto-
~ of A Little Country Girl is no exception
to the rule. Apart from the interest one
finds in the characters the writer gives
perfect picture of Newport scenery, and a
Newport summer. 1t is safe to say that the
pleasure in reading the book will not be con-
fined to the young people for whom it is es-
pecially written, but that every person who
takes it up will Ibe unwilling to lay it down
until the last page of it is reached.

The Travels of Marco Polo, for Boys and
Girls. BY Thomas w. Knox. New York and
London: @. P. Putnam's Sons; Portland:
Loring, Short & Harmony Col. Knox, who
has already done so much to interest and in
struct boys by his books of foreign travels
has placed them under fresh obligation in
his beautiful illustrated history of the great
traveller, Marco Polo, whose work is be-
lieved by many careful students. to have
led to the discovery of the New World.
In preparing the volume for the press. the
greatest care has been observed in adapting
it for the youthful reader, and yet so little
of the original matter has been excluded and
so much remains unchanged that the story is
much as it was related by Marco Polo him
self and his fellow-captives in the prison of
Genoa The writer's recent visits to the
countries which the famous Venetian ex-
plored so many years ago, enabled him to
obtain much valuable information, not to be
acquired in any other way. The illustra-
tions are full and fine, and the book is as in
teresting as it is instructive.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Tilden's Public Writings and Speeches.
Edited by John Bigelow. New York: Har-
per & Brothers; Portland: Loring, Short &
Harmony The admirers of SamuelJ. Tilden
will peruse with delight Mr.. Bigelow's vol
ume, and people who are not prepared to en-
dorse Mr.. Bigelow's estimate of his hero will
find much in the writings and speeches of
Mr.. Tilden, as recorded in Mr.. Bigelow's
book, to commend. 1t is too early yet, the
public is not far enough removed from the
animosities of political controversy affecting
Mr.. Tilden to be able to do him exact JUS
tice. The calm judgment of history will
probably assign him place intermediate be-
tween the one he now holds in the eyes of
his political friends and the one to which
his political adversaries have consigned him.
A perusaI of the speeches and writings in
Mr. Bigelow's volume will tend in some
measure TO correct the exaggerated estimates
of friend and foe. The selections cover
period of ffty-three years, from 1881 to 1884
and deal with great variety of topics

Three Vassar Girls in Italy. By Lizzie
W. Champney. Boston: Estes & Lauriat;
Portland: Mcclellan, Mosher & Coz Mrs.
Champneys Three Vassar Girls are always
interesting and original in whatever country
theymay be found, and their last excursion,
through Italy, is related in the same viva
cious and attractive style as the history of
their earlier journeyings. We shall be very
sorry when they take their final trip into the
untried land of matrimony and cease to en-
terrain us with their independent wander
ings and experiences. The present volume
is full of choice illustrations and maps, and
forms quite picture gallery aside from the
text.

Stem to Stern, or Building the Boat By
Oliver Optic. Boston: Lee & Shepard;
Portland: Bailey & Noyes.) Oliver Optics
new book needs no recommendation as far
as the boys are concerned, for the name of
this writer ON a title-paper is enough to make
them all eager to get at the contents of the
volume. In this story special directions are
given for the building of boat; that is, as
thorough an explanation of this process as
can beput into worms. Along with the por-
ton of the work devoted to business and me-
chanical information runs an entertaining
story; and the writer expresses a hope that
the volume win contribute its mite in intiu-
encing boys to respect manual labor and to
adopt it as pastime or the business of life.

WHAT THEY DO OBJECT TO.
Boston Traveller.

1t is worthy of note that the right of the
negroes to vote the Democratic ticket is not
questioned by the Republicans. If any col
ored men have an affinity for the Democratic
party no obstacles should be or will be placed
in the way to prevent their going. But the
Republicans do object, and will object, when
the votes of colored men, cast for Republic
cans, are counted in the Democratic column.
They do object, and will object, to frauds
upon the ballot-box in Chicago or New Or
leans, in Cincinnati or Vicksburg, whenever
and wherever, by intimidation, trickery or
violence voters are deprived of their rights;
The Republicans do and will protest until
right is indicated and fraud punished. And
this is not "waying the bloody shirt

From his speech in New York.
In the election of members Of Congress the
people of the State of New York have just as
great interest in the States of Louisiana and
California as they have in this State and
Vermont, because the Louisianian when ne
comes to Washington makes the laws LOT
