mamma, and God BILE $ Aunt Mary, and
God bless Uncle George" and so on. She

much attention to the names she put in.
The gro w-up sister happened to come
into the nursery while she was saying her
prayers, and that seemed to recall the
child to mistake she had made. She

PORTLAND, November 7.-Returns
from the more remote sections of this
State are coming in very slowly. How
ever, sufficient have already been re>
ceived to place Harrison's majority
much larger than Hermann's majority.
Congressman At the election last
June Hermann's majority was 7,407
over Gearin. The verv latest and most
authentic news justifying the esti-
mate of between 1000 and 5000. Some
ssnguine Republicans place Harrison's
majority even higher. Returns show
a very large vote polled everywhere.
The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1888-11-09

THE Washington Post on Thursday
says The President takes the result
calmly and philosophically. He talked
quite freely about the returns and in
creased Republican vote, but expressed
not the slightest regret in the world at
any action he had taken during his ad-
ministration. He is willing to admit
that his position on the tariff and the
decided stand he took in favor OF the
revenue reduction may have lost him a
gOod many votes, but he still main
tains that II il were to do over again he
would follow the dictates of bis con-
victions. The President received no
kilograms from the National Democra-
tic Committee until late in the after
noon. From what be has heard how
ever, he comedies that he is defeated.
He attributes his defeat to no one in
particular, and says that Hill and Tam
many Hall treated him with perfec,
fairness and that he has 20 fault TO find
at ALL"

The election on Tuesday is at last
conceded to have gone Republican by
bare majority of 10000 votes in the
State of New York. We believe it to
be calamity to the country to have

checked, it will only be for time, and
the fight between the people and mono.
poles must be fought to a finish here.
