results would bear that Interpretation he
replied: ooh, no, not at all. Our cause
is growing right along, we have lost no
strength To the inquiry whether any
sentiment agonistic toward the admins
tration had had bearing on the result,
Col. Morrison said: "No, | think not.
These are hard times. There is some
feeling that the change of administra-
tion has not been followed by that effect
on business and by such a revival of good
times as was anticipated. This feeling,
what there was of it, produced some
apathy among democrats, perhaps, but
did not discover any anti-administra-

objection to the course of the president.

Colorado.

The election of Adams (dem.), for gov
ernor by plurality of 1000 is conceded
by the republicans. All but six counties
in the state have been heard from, giving
the returns on the congressman about
even. The counties yet to come in al
ways have been democratic, so the indi-
cations are in favor of a small majority
for Reed tdem.). The democrats of Arap-
ahoo county elect six and possibly seven
out of eight representatives and one sen
ator. This is an increase of seven in the
lower house and one in the senate. The
legislature and senatorial tickets and Il
majority of the other counties were car
ried by the democrats, so that there is
little doubt that they will have control of
the lower house of the general assembly
and possibly OF the senate. The remain
der of the state ticket, except the state
secretary, auditor and possibly attorney
general are claimed by the democrats.

year ago Deacon Kendall noticed a
lameness IN finger on his left hand. The
disorder developed gradually uatiI, about
five months ago, the left hand became
helpless and dangled from the wrist. Next
the calves OF his legs were attacked, and
n g pie of months more he vas forced
to stop walking, and soon after he was
unable to move the left leg at all. His
mouth and throat were then approached,
the muscles controlling the saliyary glands
weakened, which caused cesseless flow
of saliva After that the progress of the
disease was rapid. and at the time of his
death he had lost his speech, save a few
gutteral sounds, was unable TO swallow or
to move any member. save one arm Sigh {
ly and turn his head somewhat The
paralyzed portions retained the sense of
touch AMI his mind was perfectly clear to
the last.

1t Can't be Lighted for Want OF Funds
New YORK, Nov 9.-The Goddess of
Liberty torch has not been lighted since
Saturday night. Whether it will be
lighted at ali again is an unsolved prob
lem. The American committee has
no funds for that purpose. Plans
for lighting the statue by sub
scription or through personal cor
tract with the engineers have come
to little or nothing. Gen. Schofeld has
called the attention of the war depart
ment to a lack of any funds for main
tanning 4 beacon on Bedloe's island, and
of any provision whatever for the statue.
IF no fund can be had from Washing
ton the goddess will have to wait, General
Schoield thinks, until bill establishing
light house on the island and an apPro-
priation for maintaining it passes at the
next session of congress, before her
torch be ligh ed again.

nation. The board held session at
Frankfort and examined the diseased
cattle. One of the beasts was killed and
post mortem held in the presence of the

The members united in stating that the
disease Is contagious and fatal and they

THE ELECTION RETURNS.

| From the closeness of the election in
many states and congressional districts
an official count will have to be had to
learn of the true state of affairs. Repub-
licans have gained in some places while
democrats have gained in others much
to the surprise of both parties. The cleo
ton in Wisconsin has been the entire
| republicau state ticket and legislature
which will necessarily elect United
! States senator to succeed Hon. Philetus
| Sawyer whose term of Office expires
| March 4th 1887. The election in Mime
sofa has been an exceedingly close one

the official count was made. The follow
ing is general resume of the several
states.
