WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

Cleveland probably elected.-New Age,
(Dem.)
The result Of Tuesdays voting is no longer
in doubt. The republicans have carried the
country and Gen. Benjamin Harrison Of In
diana has been chosen as the next president
of the United States. Boston Globe Dem.
Gen. Harrison has borne himself with .
sense Of propriety in this campaign that
gives good reason to augur fssorably Of his
success in the presidency. Personally, no
purer man mas entered this Office. He has
had the reputation in earlier life Of being
this quality has not been offens vely promi-
nent in his late campaign speeches. lnere
is reason TO believe that he is conscious of
lie dignity of the great position he is about
to fill, and of it's claims upon statesmanship
in the man elected to hold it. There are the
best of opportunities to win fame and high
estimation by proper mindfulness of what
is called for in this respect.-Boston Herald

We don't know anything in the way Of

A Sharp Horse Trade.

As all Augusta horsemen know, A. j.
Smell of this city is the owner Of fast run
ming horse, which goes by the name of Sor-
rel Dan. Jos. Perry of Togus owns white
horse which has also shown considerable
speed, and for some time there has been
talk of exchanging the two animals. On
the morning of Oct. %. Smell and ID. G. W.
Trask called upon Perry with Sorrel Dan
and tried to make trade. Perry refused
however, as Smell asked S25 boo, and the
two Augusta men returned. On the same
afternoon Trask returned with a horse
which Perry and his housekeeper, Mrs.
Ame., supposed was the same which they
had seen in the morning. lie asked $40
boot, but finally dropped to $40, which was
accepted by Mrs. Ames and paid by Perry.
A few hours later Mrs. Ames drove to the
Soldiers Home and meeting Smell told him
that Mr.. Perry had purchased Sorrel Dan.
Smell informed her that she was mistaken in
the horse, and that Sorrel Dan was at home
in his own stable. Mrs. Ames drove back
and told Perry, who Immediately came to
the city and tod Trask's partner, McLain
that he had been deceived. He was unable
to find Trask. Nothing further was dore il
the matter till yesterday, when warran
was procured against Trask for fraud. The
case was tried before Judge Andrews ant
judgment will probably be rendered today
that the value of the horse, exchanged wa
about equal. Potter appeared for Perry an,
Tuel for Trask.

The New York Advertiser Claims to

cal Influence.
New YORK, Nov. 8.


The Commercial Advertiser publishes
statement by Chauncy NJ. Depew, in which

of whom the New York delegation should

available man on account of his record as a

of old Tippecanoe. But the other delegates
at large did not look at matters through my

Warner Miller wanted a third man. Sui

their opinions. Fifty-eight agreed with us,

SECRETARY MCPHERSON
Gives Reasons For Thinking the Next
House Surely Republican.


WAsHINGMoN, Nov. s.
al do not see any reason to revise the
estimate made yesterday, relative to the
strength of the republican majority in the
next House. said Secretary Mcpherson of
the republican congressional campaign COM
mttee this afternoon. II can't imagine
what basis there is for the claim made in
New York that the democrats will retain
control of the House.
IAN of the information obtainable this
morning justities ME in expressing the opin-
ion that the next House will consist of l73
republicans and l52 democrats. There is a
possibility that the republican majority may
be reduced by later advices to 10 or 20, but
| have made liberal allowances in my calcu-
lations for all democratic claims"
Representative Breckenridge of Kentucky
the democratic member of the ways and
means committee, expresses the opinion that
the republican majority in the next House,
will be very slender and is very confident
that it cannot exceed ten. According to his
calculations, the republicans must show a
gain of 10 representatives to secure a major
ity, and he does not believe that they cannot
much exceed that.

ILLEGAL BALLOTS
Liable to Retire N. Carlisle Provided
They are Thrown Out.
II So Hamilton Will be Elected
CONVICTION XIV Nov

CovISGroN, ky., Nov. 5.
There is talk of throwing out the Carlisle
ballots in Campbell county and some of
Those in kenton county, on account of alleged
illegality in the ballots. Instead of being
plain ballots with no distinguishing mark, as
the Law directs. the Carlisle ballots of Camp
bell and kenton counties were printed in
long strips separated by perforations that
they might be easily torn apart. They were
torn carelessly apart, leaving ballots of
irregular shape and containing perforations.
Carlisle's majority is placed at about 5000.
Should the election boards of Campbell and
kenton counties decide to throw out the vote
for Carlisle his majority will be reduced to
nothing or thereabouts in Campbell county.
The board is republican and pressure will be
brought to bear upon it to throw out the
votes. Should any number of ballots of
kenton county be also rejected, Carlisle
would be in the minority and Hamilton's
election assured. 1t is said that Carlisle has
consulted legal advices.

on the election. The President was calm
and self possessed and had the sppearan of
one who had had good nights rest.
After the correspondent had stated the
object of his visit the President said:

Its Comments on the Defeat OF Democ-

The Globe says; President Cleveland has
not gained anything by fussing with the Ash

ment of Sackville. Ii is satisfactory TO find
that even in America weathercock policy is
not always profitable. This defeat is q
heavy blow TO the democrats. II NAV help
to compensate Blaine for his previous failure
as he will probably become Secretary of
State. Blaine may not be able to revive his
remarkable foreign policy which helped to
create distrust and promote his defeat, but
his alliance or understanding with the Irish
element may not tend to soften his conduct
in international affairs.
