unsolvable problem. 1t goes by favor, we
are told, and goes through favored and

The belief is quite general that the
past few days have shown the highest
temperature which the city has ever
known. This is all a mistake. The sig
nal Office records show that the highest
temperature reached this season was on
last Wednesday when the thermometer in

ceeded July 4, 1884, when it was go,
June 10, 1880, when it was 970, and July
IA, 1881, when it was 100. s., the highest
temperature recorded since the office was
established in 1873.
A temperature of over go is always re
markable in this favored city. and every
body growls about the circumstances,
while elsewhere people may be sweltering
with the thermometer showing ll2o in
the shade. The constant breeze during
ages which are rarely enjoyed elsewhere

advertise it to the world. Few spots on
the continent are so favored. Although
the nights are occasionally warm, a sultry
night is unknown. The pests of noun
tain resorts and the seashore. the mosqni-
to, is absolutely unknown here. A more
equable summer climate is nowhere pro-
vided in the United States.
A short trip into Nebraska, west to
Utah, or south to Denver at this season
will demonstrate what a jewel of a climate
we have. 1t takes a man from further
south Though to thoroughly appreciate
Cheyenne's sump,er weather. Lieut.. Nc
Mutt, who was formally stationed at Fort
Russell, but has lately been quartered in
Arizona, thinks there is nothing like it.
The difference between the highest tenn
perature here and the ordinary Arizona
weather is about thirty degrees. The
lieutenant appreciates the change more
than anybody, and is now the most en-.
thusiastic admirer Of Cheyenne's summer
climate that the city affords.
Without a doubt the Cheyenne weather
is the standard article.

That is, in one place the candidates
name was dropped down line below
the line designating the office. OF
course the precinct officers will he COM
PEELED to count these ballots if they cut
any figure in turning the election of any
candidate. But it is an irregularity in
the printing of the tickets which
should not have occurred. The

portion of the Democratic tickets. and it
is needless to say that none of the i'm
pugned ballots were printed in our office.

the emergency, they persisted in throw

The General Result.

If the dispatch from New York an
that that State has given over
eleven Thousand plurality for Harrison is
based on accurate returns, the chances
are in favor Of the gentleman from lndi-
ana carrying off the Presidential prize.
But we cannot forget that the first re-
ports claimed that New York had gone
Republican by twenty-five thousand
majority. This dispatch reduces
that claim to less than one-half.
1t is not at all probable that complete
returns have been received from the
whole State. and without those returns,
we are getting guesswork. Up to the
last moment, four years ago, the Repuo-
licans claimed the State for Blaine by
even larger majorities than are now set up.
We all know how that ended. 1t may be
the same this time. 1t is hard to believe
that the returns we have received from
Kings county are correct. Thirteen
thousand Democratic majority in that
county is ridiculously small. 1t gave
Cleveland nearly sixteen thousand in
1884, and the ratio of Cleveland's in
crease this year ought to bring it up to
twenty thousand at least. There is
reason to believe that Calvin S. Brice
knew what he was talking about when
he telegraphed late on election day
that Kings county would give Cleveland
twenty-five thousand majority. Some OF
the remote counties in New York have
way OF holding back their returns to see
how many votes are required to offset the
majority below High Bridge. Perhaps
the actual majority in Kings has been
obscured to defeat any sharp practice that
may be attempted in the remote north
ern counties. We shall not give up New
York until we have heard more definitely
and authoritatively from all parts OF the
State. We are perhaps hanging to
very slender thread; but so We were il
1884, and yet we carried the State II
spite of the tremendous majorities by
which the Republicans had claimed it.
Failing to carry New York, we SEE
very little hope of getting enough cleo
toral votes elsewhere to make up for it
Gray assures US of Indiana by salts
factory majority. Connecticut is close
but we have it by a scratch
New Jersey is ours by rount
vote. California, we fear, is in jeop
ardy. A glimmer of hope at one time
elated us from Illinois; but nothing
assures us that We can anywhere make
up for New York's 36 electoral votes i
that State has really gone against us
We shall still, however, look to carry
those votes until it is shown that we
have lost them beyond the peradventurt
OF doubt.
Since the above was written, the New
York dispatch has been reformed, ane
we now learn that its returns ART

EXCELLENT order prevailed at all the
Precincts in Los Angeles city on election
day. There were nearly thirteen thou.
sand out of the fifteen thousand votes OF
the city cast. The people were in a
white heat of earnestness, but it was
earnestness of the best natured sort.
While for thirteen hours the electors
thronged the polling places and depos-
tied their ballots, there did not occur
the semblance OF disturbance. Such
good order is somewhat due to the ex-
eellent manner in which the Deputy
Marshals, the police and other peace
officers performed their duties; but after
making all allowances for the efficiency
of these corps of officials, there is no
doubt that it is to the orderly, law-abid-
ing disposition of the citizens of this
pueblo that we must look for the reason
of this very satisfactory state of affairs.
The city is to be congratulated on this
very proud result of so earnest political
contest, for such it was. Indeed never
before was there campaign of greater
earnestness carried on.

HERE have been Il great many in
stances in which the war failed to come
up to the manifesto, but we doubt very
much whether there has ever been a
more marked example OF this kind than
has been afforded by the Prohibition
party OF Los Angeles county in the las,
election. The two thousand to twenty.
i've hundred votes which they were to
have polled in Los Angeles county have
shrunk in very remarkable manner,
The solution of this circumstance is
doubtless cteditable to the modesty of
our Prohibition friends. They evidently
have not desired to make themselves OBJ
trusive. We are told that children
should be seen and not heard. Los
Angeles Prohibitionists take the an.
tithesis of this proposition. They were
heard good deal but they are not much
seen in the returns.

THE divine civilians" tells US that
there is soul of good in things evil
would men but observingly distill it out.
In the heated Presidential campaign in
the United States there is ordinarily
little that can be classed as good, but the
canvass which is just over has fur
nished the exception that proves the
rule. 1t was long and wearing, but it
was to marked degree free from the per-
sonalities, vituperation and bitterness
that characterize the average struggle
for the control OF the national govern
ment. 1t was fought to the end without
arraigning Mr.. Cleveland as villain or
Mr.. Harrison as horse-thief. To their
honor the press of both sides discarded
the old and time-honored resort to
Billingsgate.

The County.

There are 131 precincts in this county.
At this writing Il A. M we have heard
from 113 of these precincts, leaving thirty
vet to come in. The vote in the 1l3
precincts heard from is for Cleveland,
9,s9S; for Harrison, 1899. This gives
Harrison majority so far Of 4, l0l. This
majority will be reduced several hun
dred by counting the ballots arbitrarily
thrown out for irregularity in printing a
single name. The thirteen precincts to
come in will not increase this
majority over one hundred votes,
Nobody prior to tie election had the re-
hottest idea that this county would pile
up Republican majority of this formid-
able extent. Yet it must be remembered
that the great increase of
population in the last two
years has added nearly twenty
thousand new names to the Great
Register. This w an unknown quantity
in the election which nobody could po-
litically fix excepting by the merest
guesswork and it must be admitted that
the guesswork on both sides has fallen
far short of the reality. With the Re-
publican majorities in this end of the
State and the gains in some other coun-
ties, California will 60 for Harrison un-
less San Francisco can give Cleveland a
majority of between seven and eight
thousand
