Daily Republican., 1886-09-06

Referring to the victory of Mr.. A. j.
Cassatt's colt. The Bard, in the race for
the September stakes, at Sheepshead Bay,
Thursday, the New York Tribune says:
"The Bard is by far the best three year
old in America since Dew Drop has lost
her form. His last two races at Mon
mouth Park were excellent, but Thursday
he surpassed ell his efforts by taking 10
125 pounds and beating Ferona, Liau..a
aud Preciosa in the easiest possible style
at mile and three.quarters in 8 05, very
fast time. Linden was the fayorite in the
betting, as he carried fifteen pounds less
than The Bard, and the owner, trainer
and friends of the Preakness stable were
calmly confident. But Linden was mere
chaff blown away at puff from The
Bards nostrils. He could not hurry the
great colt at all, and finally lost second
place to Ferona. Preciosa was beaten
even worse than was Linden. The Bard
was not in the least distressed by his
long run with heavy weight, and seemed
as fresh as when he started. A stout.
strong colt this, and he stays like steel.
He has been slow in developing, and his
| true merit was for months obscured by
bad riding, but now every one is com
PEELED to admit that he ia in the front
| rank of American race horses. 1t IL
noubtful if any horse now IN training can
run two miles with him at the regular
weights. Volante surely could not do it.
Barnum would give him the hardest tus
sci, but The Bard would probably win
AS for Elkwood, if he ever meets The Bard
at even weights at mile and a-half OF
over, Elkwood will fall shattered from
Times dial with even more velocity thar
did the late Rollin NJ Squire.

Two September Elections.

A few States still hold early fall

suicient Importance 70 indicate the
srue political drift for November.
When Ohio, Iowa snd Indiana re-
maj neG to gi7e excitement 10 the 0 cto-
Der elections, the result was generally
accepted as u prenon!tion of the victory
1r defeat of one party or the other in
November. Among the States which
hold State elections In Ssptem ber is
Arkansas, which votes to-day for State
ofii GERS, and Vermont, which votes to-
morrow for the same. Nobody expects
any thing elss IL IN that Arkansas win
re'elect Governor Hughes by o very
large majority, Sc she is one OF the buH
dozed ates of the S1uth that vnadud
not be permitted to elect Republican
Governor. The vote at the Guberns-
torial election four years ago was Re-
publican 1882, Democratic 81 ,675 and
Greenback 10, 1I2.
The election in Vermont tomorrow
will be tae most exciting one held in
that State fer many years. The re-
election OF Senator f imunds has caused
considerable friction, owing to the
course he pursued In the Presidential
Campaign in doing nothing to secure
the election Of Blaine. All the interest
in the election has centered on the cleo
tion OF delegates favorable or unfavora-
BILE to him, bat with the chances very
strongly in favor OF delegates favorable
to Elmuuds, n Ut twithstandiDg his short
comings. In 1882 the Republicans
polled IS, S39, the Dem ocrats IA, 466 and
the Greenbackers 1, ,535 votes. With
four State tickets in the field this year,
two of them being assistant Democratic
candidates, it need surprise nobody IL
the Republican majority Is not more
| than 5000.

Labor Notes.

The men employed at the plate mill of
Bailey a. Co., in Harrisburg, about l5O
in number, went out on Saturday. 1.-The
immediate cause of the strike is said to
have been the discharge of three men, but
1t is generally thought to be the result of
the strike inaugurated in the other mills
of Bailey & Co last Monday for an in
crease in wages"
The strike OF the coal miners at Bevier,
Missouri, has been temporarily settled.
The men will go back to work at the old
wages, with the understanding that, If

October their wages shall be raised to the
desired amount.
