THE OPINION.
NEW York, Nov. THE H~erald1saysf
At the hour of going to press with our
first editiont.t the probabilities, indicate
the election of Gen. Harrison to the
presidency. This opinion is based upon
dispatches received from all the states in
the Union, and which may be divided as
follows: Cleveland - Alabama, Ar
kansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louesiana, Mary
land, Mississippia Missouri. New Jersey,
North CAROLINA. South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Texas, Virginia and West Vir-
ginia116S. HiaiftffisonMGolorado Illinois.

Hampshire, New York, Vermont and
Wisconsfnz2W. observation-disclosures,
Nevada and Indiana-26. Total votes in
electoral college, 4ol. Necessary to
elect, 201. Conceding the votes of Con-
necticut and New Jersey to Mr.. Cleve-.
1and; u regarding Indiana, CaIfornia
andaNeyada as doubtful, Gen. Harrison
has a majority in the electoral college.
The figures show the election OF David
B. Hill as governor and of Hugh j.
Grant as Mayor. Mr.. Hill has made d
strong canvass. The nomination of Mr..
Hewitt had the effect which his sur
| porters principally wanted-nameIy-
the defeat of Mir Cleveland v Fdivjsion
of the Democratic forces in New York.
The political lesson of the election ia
that the. national supremacy. of the
Democratic party has been sacrificed to
the ambition of David Hill inc Abram
S. Hewitt, and the fact which the Demo
Gratis throughout the country should
learn isathat in the game of politics the
possessionspf the imperial patronage of
New York pity is of far more Importance
than the government of the Union.

When a party deliberately buries out
of sight the principles on Which it was
founded, and Of which it has been for a
century the custodian and trustee; when
it sends some of its best men to the rear
| and renders the management of its af-
fairs to a syndicate of cracked intellects
| and theorists with just enough shrewd-
ness to disguise their ultimate purposes,
it abandonsp politics in The same sense

The Tribune says: 1.-THE result in the

strongly favor d victory for Harrison

below Harlem river, instead OF the. se;000
or So, 900 confidently expected by Demo
Gratis, appears to be only about 70,000,
SOutside OF New York and Kings county
the Republican gains have thus far been
steady with each additional report. The
proportion of these gains, at the hour, is
such that If continued throughout the
istate they would insure the victory of
Harrison and Morton electors by a hand
some plurality. Returns from other
states Justify the belief that Harrison
and Morton would have a majority of
the electoral votes, even without those
of New York. Connecticut is now be-
lieved to have chosen Harrison electors.
The friends of Gen. Harrisonsin the west
confidently claim Indiana, thoagh the
returns are as yet necessarily incomplete.
New Jersey returns do not look favorable,
/ but there is no indication that any other
northern state hes chosen Cleveland
electors. With Indiana and Connecticut
the Republican candidates would proba-
bly, be elected, even though the result
in this state should disappoint the hopes

A ROYAL Cease of Emergency"

The Princess of Piedmont's dress
caught in the spur of an officer of lancers;
result, q tremendous rent in the sweeping
skirt and long whisp Of gown trailing
on the floor. Before the princess had
time to appeal to one of her ladies in
waiting, the crown prince OF Prussia had
produced a pretty little morocco etui,
from which he extracted dainty pair OF
scissors, and kneeling down at the feet Of
the bride skillfully cut away the wreck.
After he had effectually relieved the prin-
cess of her incumbrance he rose, bowed
profoundly, returned his lease Of emer-
gencyn to his pocket and resumed his place
by the kings side, amid the subdued muir
murs of satisfaction Of all the ladies near
him.
The tremendous social success that at
tended his graceful little action was tenfold
enhanced when, later ON in the evening,
it came ont that, on Victor Emmanuel
complimenting him anent the forethought
he displayed in carrying complete
trousse about with him, even in the ball
room, ''our Fritz" replied; 1.-The whole
merit of the idea belongs to my wife, sire,
not to me- Long ago she gave me a
pocket necessaire with all sorts OF useful
things in it-needles and thread, button
hooks, sticking plaster and scissors, as
Won saw Just now-and made me promise
to keep it always in my pocket wherever
went. What took place Just now only
proves that am lucky fellow to have such
a clever wife to look after me. Mon

Tobacco Market.

RICHMOND, Va, January 20.
The terrible condition of roads did not
prevent quite good break of loose to-
bacco to-day. Prices were equally as
strong as heretofore, though this week
we have so far no extreme values. The
best grades offered selling at l0t to 12t
cents. Some good heavy primings sold
at $4S5, equal to fair lug prices. On
Change low grades continue in strong
demand, while to-day and yesterday we
noticed movement in higher grades of
brights. 1t seems that 30 to 80 cents is
the ruling price for fine cutters, old or
new, while fancy cutter commands 81
and over. Fine wrappers are in good de-
mand with light supply. Sun-cured is
active, and considerable old stock is
changing hands. Manufacturers are fully
on the alert, and 1t is not alone s3ecula-
tors who are buying. There is no doubt
but that most of the interior markets
hold very small stock of old tobacco,
and buyers must come here for selections.
The Western markets are quoted irregu-
lar and rather lower on all kinds, which
may last only a few days. Speculative
buyers at the late Antwerp Belgium
auction sales did not realize profit on
resales in the Louisville market from late
accounts. Slight reactions after such a
continued boom in the Western are
naturally in order.

Where Ignorance Had Been Bliss.

A near sighted man, who lives not far
from Kingston, had never worn or looked
through pair of glasses until a short time
ago. One day peddler called, and among
other things, he offered eyeglasses for sale.
He persuaded the man TO TRY on" pair.
After the farmer had adjusted the glasses,
he looked at objects in the room with aston
ishment. Finally his eyes rested upon his
wife. He took long look at her and then
exclaimed. "Jane, Jane, l never would have
