Long before the hour Of beginning the

occupied by professors, trustees and Wis

TO.DAY,S ELECTIONS.

There will be political activity in nearly
all parts of the country to day. In thirty-dve
States there will be voting for Representa-
tives in the Fiftieth Congress. Maine. YER
mont and Oregon have already chosen. Seven
States-Rhode Island, Oregon, Alabama,
Arkansas, Vermont, Maine and Georgia
have already elected governors this year, of
whom four are Democrats and three Repub-
licans. Seventeen States will choose COVER
nors to-day. OF these nine have now Repub-
Hcan Governors, viz: Colorado, Connecti-
cut, Kansas, Massachusetts,, Michigan, Min
nesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire and Wis
consin. The eight States having Democratic
governors are California, Delaware, Nevada,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee and Texas. Besides electing State
officers several States will vote on constitu-
tional amendments, New York among the
number.
The contest in New York city is perhaps
the most interesting and important of all.
Its result is awaited with great interest not
only in this country, but also in other coun-
tries. There is, according to the best judges,
no chance for George, and he will probably
be badly defeated. A full account of the
election in New York city, full and accurate
returns of the voting in this State for State
officers, Congressman, Senators, Represents
tives and Sheriffs, and the general result in
other States will be found in the JOURNAL
AND COURIER tomorrow morning.

TO REPUBLICAN VOTERS.

Every Republican voter should do his duty
to-day, for there is important work to be
done. The Republicans cannot afford to
lose a United States Senator, nor can they
afford to let the Democrats control State
affairs for the next two years.
Vote early. This is an important matter.
If most of the votes are cast early in the
day the party workers have their labors much
simplifed. They can then devote their at
tention to getting the stragglers and the
tardy ones to the polls, and can do the work
thoroughly and efficiently.
Don't scratch-or "trade" The Republic
can nominees are entitled to the full support
of the party. Vote the ticket straight
Don't stay away from the polls. Every
Republican vote is needed, and even one vote
may make great difference in the result.

Ehe Value of Foods.


1t has come to this, that the simplest ar
ticles of diet the safest, and that is, in my
opinion, another argument in favor of plain
living. Yes, the simplest are the safest, and
let me add, the best are the cheapest. The
butcher. for example, or the egg merchant
cannot adulterate his wares, but he may have
several qualities; and there is stage at
which all animal foods arrive, when kept in
shops, which renders them to large extent
poisonous, and this is as bad, if not worse
than adulteration.
We often hear it said that shop eggs, as
they are called, are good enough for frying,
with bacon for example. This is a positive
mistake; an egg that has even a suspicion OF
staleness about it is deleterious to health, not
to say dangerous, no matter whether it be
fried or boiled. And the same may be said
of flesh meats of all kinds, and will not ex-
cept hare or venison. am quite prepared to
have this little sentence pooh -poohed by the
robust and healthy. only add that l adhere
to it, that have the courage of my convic-
tions, and furthermore, that have invalids
and dyspeptics and those with delicate
digestions in my thoughts as | write.
grant you, my heaithful athlete, who
can tramp over the moors with gun and bag
from morning dawn till dewy eve, and never
feel tired that the eating of long kept game
may not seem to injure you, but the bare
fact that piquant sauces and stimulants are
needed to aid it's digestion is exceedingly sus
picious. There are two animals in particu-
lar that like their food high and tender; one
is the crocodile, the other our friend the dog;
both nave wonderfully strong digestive pow
ers: little inferior, in point of fact, to that
of the ostrich, about which bird SO many
beautiful stories have been written and told.
It may be said, without much fear of con-
tradiction, that any kind of food or any mixed
diet or meal which requires the aid of stimu
laut, either of the nature of condiment or
wines, is not salutary. Such diet as this is
a tax upon the whole system, and causes heat
and discomfort, and feverish state of the
blood which can only end in debility of
the nervous system and more or less of pros
tration.
But those who would obtain the greatest
amount of health and comfort from the food
they eat must be most careful in its selection.
Leaving idiosyncrasy out of count for the
present, although every one ought to know
what agrees with him and what does not,
there are many things connected with the
value of digestibility of food from various
sources that do well to remind the reader

a note has been left on nv desk, said
Brother Gardner, AKIN me why de present
aige has not produced a Cicero, Diogenes,
Milton. I answer to de etfeck dat each
aige has produced of itself an fur itself
Diogenes was looked on as wise man in
his day an aige. Put him an his tub on
airth to-day an it wouldn't be twenty four
hours befo' he'd be worked to de Jug fur a
crank an de law would fo'ce him to cut his
hair, dig out his finger nails, an put on a
clean shirt
Cicero was applauded by thousands for
his mastery oratory. At dat aige de gift of
CAB was rare thing. In dis aige you kin
attend a $5 lawsuit before any justice OBJ de
peace an find a match for Cicero in a So law
yer. Ii he could drap down among US he'd
find it hard work to get resolushun fur a
new sidewalk frew de city council.
Shakespeare was big fur de aige in which
he lived. He was probably de only person
on airth who could have writ his writings
an he desarved all praise. If he was among
us to-day he'd find ebery newspaper givin
him de guy, an all de boys yelln' out ''chest
nut" as his works appeared in Seaside form.
Dis aige demands different style. We want
sumthin' bout angels comm down an tax
in leetle chil'en straight up to heaven, Ell
a feller gwine out to Texas an killin' half q
dozen Injuns day for a vacashun. We
uOant know nufnn 'DOut me lord, me duke,
me lady, an sich. an we doan't want to. Dis
aige has produced 5000 pussons who, while
,dey can't write like Shakespeare did, kin
waltz all aroun' him in keepn' de readers h,,' r
on eend from de fust paige to de last.
Nero was big gun for his aige, but jest
you emagine sich a chap cavertin' aroun' dis
kentry at dis day an date! De VERY first
time he sounded his bazoo in de Ninth ward
peeler would give him de collar an walk
him down, an de next mawnin' you'd see it
in de paper dat ole Nero was sent up for
sixty days fur disturbin' de peace
We has no poet ekal to Milton, but if we
had de newspapers wouldn't gin him fair
show. Dey'd refer to his produckshuns as
spring poetry, an he'd likely be dubbed de
Ba'n-gate Balladist of Indiana. Dis aige
doan cry fur poetry half much as pork, an
chap like Milton would hev to turn hand

De aige doan' demand no great man in any
line. When it does he will bob to the sur
face an his name will appear in de papers.
We am all philosophers huff to see why
water won't run up hill AN statesmen huff to
know dat what ails dis kentry am its over
production of bootjacks.
My advice to you am to keep right on being
common folks. If you want to git above
the common herd pay cash fur your groceries,
let odder folkses' woodpiles alone, keep whls

was no coachman, the coach being drawn by

Among the novelties of the present cam
paign is the attempt of a st. Louis man to be
nominated by mandamus. The Repu blican
county convention some time ago fell into
bad hands, and ticket was nominated SO
Objectionable that, in obedience to clamor-
GUS demand, the committee called new
convention, which repudiated the work of
its predecessor and nominated candidates
whose character was satisfactory. Last week
one Vastine, one of the candidates of the
first convention, applied to the Supreme
court for mandamus to compel the county
committee to print his name as a candidate
on the regular Republican ticket He argued
that, as the choice of the convention, he was
the choice of the party, that the subsequent
proceedings were invalid, and the committee
had no right to deprive him of his rights as
candidate by placing any other name on the
ticket in the room of his. But the court re-
fused the writ.
The Boston Herald doesn't think the Dem
ocrats of this State ought to win because of
their course on the tariff question. 1t says:

EdTuum Be0fuS TO Dc working the party, so
far as his present ability permits him to
work it, for the benefit of his pocket, rather
than the benefit of the people. He and his
friends have put the Democracy of Connecti-
cut altogether out of line with the party in
the great battle which is to take place next
week. The lines have been drawn, the issues
have been declared all over the country; but
the Connecticut contingent, instead of march
ing toward the front under the flag of Demo-
cratic unity, is, apparently, taking up po-
sition to aid the Republican host by firing
into the backs of its own pretended associ-
ates, if the opportunity offers ITSELF So far
as the national Democracy is concerned, it
would be greatly to its advantage if the party
in Connecticut had neither held conven-
ton, nominated candidates, nor entered in
the least into the struggle. The action it has
taken is detriment and drawback to the
general success, and is due, as we said above,
to the manipulations of an altogether un-
trustworthy political leader.
