RESULT OF THE ELECTION.

The election returns are now in, so that
the general result may now be given. To
say that there has been many surprises
to both democrats and republicans would
be but stating the exact truth. That the
large vote polled by the labor ticket in
some sections of the country was sur
prise to even advocates of that doctrine,
is another fact. The entire county labor
ticket was elected in Milwaukee, and the
administration of Milwaukee county will
be turned over to this new departure
January 1st. A vote of from $4,000 to
10000 was polled by this party in Wis
consin, $4,000 being in Milwaukee county
and the remainder divided between Osh-
kosh, Marinette, Chippewa Falls, Racine,
La Crosse and Eau Claire.
AS near as can be estimated, the prohi-
bition vote of Wisconsin will be any
where from 900 to 10000.
The following is synopsis of the state
elections:
Wisconsin.
The state of Wisconsin reelected Gov.
Jeremiah NJ. Rusk (rep.), the entire state
ticket and republican legislature, which
will give the state another republican q.
S. senator to succeed Senator Sawyer, of
Oshkosh.
A Madison dispatch says Gov. Rusk is
sanguine that his own plurality will reach
10000 against majority of 10000 two
years ago.
At prohibition headquarters it is claim
ed Olin, prohibition candidate for gov
ernor, will receive 10000 against 5000 for
the prohibition standard bearer IN 1884.
The labor vote will approach 10000 in
the state, and 1t is predicted hero that
Bob Schilling, socialist, will be the next
mayor of Milwaukee, where 5000 labor
votes were cast last Tuesday. A big effort
is being made to strengthen the knights
of Labor in the state, so as to be able to
achieve greater results at future elections,
and in the past few days since election
sixty members have been initiated in the
Madison lodge alone.
personal dispatch from Caswell, re-
publican, says he is elected to congress in
the first district by 800 majority, and that
DOolittle, democrat, comedies his own
defeat. Guenther, republican, has 4,157
plurality over Delaney, democrat, in the
Second district. He carried every county
in the district and his success is simply
astonishing.
The legislature will stand: Senate
Republicans, 81; democrats, Z; labor, L.
Assembly Republicans, 81; democrats,
SO; labor, 6; prohibition, L. Republican
majority on joint ballot, 81. Their ma
iority two years ago was 80.

The State Register has returns from
every county in the state. Jackson, rep,
for secretary of state has majority of
1874, a republican gain of 1886 over
the vote for governor last year.

VERY singular is the discovery in Rome

favorite of Hadrian, who was deifed after
his death by the Emperor, and worship

The statue is of Greek marble. The
head has not been separated from the
trunk, and the figure is in an excellent

tip of the nose and the forearms. 1t Is
entirely nude, and the left leg rests
against vine stem with its tendrils and
punches of grapes.

Wheat Prices.

Baltimore Journal Of Commerce: In discussing
the position of the grain trade of the world,
Mr.. Henry Kemp, of New York, says in Brad
streets, that should France have an unfi,vora-
BILE summer for wheat this year ana poor
yield it will again be q large importer OF wheat
from the United States and from other ma
lions, as she did in the years 1878, 1879 and 1880.
This would advance the price of wheat. If
Great Britain should have cold, wet summer,
she will have crop of wheat shorter than last
season about So. 0OO, 900 bushels. If France has
crop as short as 1879 she will import about
81 900, OO0 bushels of wheat more than this sea-
son. In that case there will be imports into
these two countries, Great Britain and France,
in the year ending September l, 1887, OF 49,
600, 900 bushels of wheat in excess of the total
this season, If that should occur, wheat prices
would be advanced in, France and England
about 80 per cent, and wheat in England wonld
rise from its present price of 32s. per quarter
to about AIS. 3D., or 43 per cent If July, Au-
gust and September should bring waTm and
dry weather in Great Britain and France
wheat would not advance, but keep at about
the same price as at present, as the wheat crop
would promise to be abundant in England and
France. But If the wheat crops should be as
deficient in these countries as in 1879 and as
short in Hindoostan as the crop of 1856 Claim
eds and We should not ship more wheat from
this country than in the last season, wheat
would advance 50 per cent. in England anq
sell for 1885, per quarter.
five accept the last two crops Q8S3 and 1881
the price in England this last season has been
lower than for one hundred and twenty-five
years. about Cd. per bushel, equal to about is
cents of our money. But as the freight charges
from Chicago on bushel OF wheat to England
fourteen years ago (by lake, canal and Atlantis
ocean, were about 3S cents per bushels, and are
now but about l6 cents per bushel,-a fall of q
cents bushel,-that makes greater gain for
the Weetern farmer.

Irregularities in the postal service in
Virginia have become more common than
ever was known in this State. We men,
toned several weeks ago, the arrest of the
transfer agent at Lynehburg for rihing
registered letters, and the arrest OF post
master in Amherst county, for an offense
of like kind. On Monday last Inspector
w. H. Barclay arrested and took to Rich
mond the postmaster at Cotiinville, Sus-
sex county. for making false report to
the Postoflice Department and for using
stamps Illegally in exchange for merchan-
die. The Assistant Postmaster at Suf-
folk, Virginia, has been arrested as a de-
faulter to the government to the amount
of 5000. While it is not assumed or in
sisted that Democrats are any more dis
honest than Republicans as rule, but in
view of the wholesale charges made
against Republican Office holders. in Vir~
ginia, without any evidence to sustain
them, the exhibit that is made OF the dis.
honesty of the officials appointed by a
Democratic adminis,tr ition is significant.
In no State of the Union, as the records
of the Departments at Washington will
show, was there more efficiency and hon.
esty displayed in the conduct Of official
business than in the Postal and internal
Revenue Service in Virginia, under Re.
publican administrations. The record
made under the present administration, as
to the.postal service, does not show favor
ably in comparison with that made under
Republican administrations. This simply
demonstrates that Democratic partizans
cannot be believed in party matters, es:
pecially where political opponents are con,
cerned.
