HARRISON AND MYRON REED.
Their Hunting Experiences-Why Reed
Decided to Enlist in the Army.

Oto ~ ~ -
New York Tribune.
General Harrison is too much Of q student
and has always been too bu sy in his profession
TO excel as a sportsman, but he is an excellent
companion on a sporting trip. The Rev. Myron
w. Reed. formerly pastor of General Harrisonis
church, is a mighty hunter and an expert
fisherman, and he and the General used to
make many excursions together in former days.
After returning from one such expedition, MIR.
Reed told q great many stories about their, or
rather his pcowess, and he was even heArtless
enough to give his precise opinion Of General
Harrison as a hunter. 1.-The General isn't much
Of a shot" said the reverend sportsman, ''but
then / can bring down all the game and he
makes a mighty good retriever" The American
people seem to agree with Mr.. Reed in the
latter part of this estimate, inasmuch a. they
have just chosen Benjamin Harrison to bring
back the national government 10 its former
high plane.
The Rev. Myron w. Reed left the First
Presbyterian Church OF Indianapolis some years
ago to accept a call from Denver, Col. aud
there are some people who think that Plymouth
Church made q great mistake in not calling him
to succeed Mr. Beecher. In temperament Mr..
Reed is the funniest possible remove from the
ippassioned orator who brought fame to Ply

genius for oil that His intimacy with General

WHAT BECAME OF FISK'S VOTE.

Trenton Special.
Both parties have been following the trail Of
the Prohibition vote ever since election. For
some reason the vote disappeared. When the
returns came in there were very few ballots for
Clinton B.. Fisk. Two years ago Fisk had
nearly 90, 600 votes; Last year, when there was
nothing important at stake, the Prohibition
vote was very large. 1t was 1000 in 1884. Il
couldn't be that Fisk was going to fall behind or
only equal st. Johns vote. Fisk is a Jersey
man, and has heretofore been very popular.
All the politicians figured on 10000
votes. The full returns show that Fish
did not recs;ve 5000 in the entire State. He
had IL. 900 less votes than he had in 1856,
and only exceeded ST. Johns record by a few
hundred. 1t Was evident, as the Mail and Ex-
press predicted. that the Prohibitionists had
gone to pieces. But what became of the wreck7
The Republicans got most OF the prohibition
vote, but the Democrats received an unexpect-
eddy large share. IL has been supposed that the
Prohibitionists in Jersey came nearly alto
gether from the Republicans. This is not true,
and q study of the vote for four years shows il.
Hancock had, in round numbers, 2. 1000 plu-
rality ia this State in 1880. There was no pro-
hibition ticket to speak of. The Prohibitionists
cast less than 1000 votes ia the United States
In 1880. In 1884 Cleveland had 1000 plu-
rality in New Jersey. St Johns vote was
1000. II the Prohibitionists had all come
from the Republican ranks, or nsarly oil, Cleve-
lands plurality would have been much greater.
In 1886. when Fisk got 20, 900 votes. Robert S.
Green, the Democratic candidate for Governor,
had only 5000 plurality. If a vast proportion OF
Fisk's proportion had come from the Republi-
cans, Green should have had a plurality OF at
least 12, 900 or IL. 900. This year the Prohibition
vote dropped from 20, 600 to about $500. IL the
most of it had gone TO the Republicans. Harrison
would have had several thousand plurality, de-
spite the Democratic gains on account of the
LIQUOR mems support in Essex, Hudson and Pas
sale counties. But Clevelaud's plurality this year
is nearly as large as Green's was two years ago.
This shows that the Democrats got a consider
able proportion Of the prohibition vote.

THE COUNT TONIGHT.
Order in Which 1t will Be Made...
A Caution.

The returns tonight will probably
come in slowly, as the ticket is long and
will be mixed. The electoral vote will
be counted first, and the GLOBE of to-
morrow will probably give the
complete vote of Hennepin county,
with perhaps the exception of one
OF two country precincts. After the
electoral will come the count on the
congressional, county, judicial and city
tickets, in the order named, and it will
probably be we'll into the morning be-
fore the result on the city ticket is
known. The GLOBE has completed
elaborate arrangements for collecting
the returns, and expects to have the first
reliable information of all counts.
Democrats who have wagered money
Oh the state and city elections and who
will hear the returns as they come in.
will not be deceived by the electoral
count. While it is expected that Cleve-
land will carry the city, it is certain that
Wilson and Winston will lead his vote,
and that later city returns will
show constantly increasing majorities.
This isa the confident expectations,
but as the city tickets will be the last
to be counted, there may be fictitious
claims set up, based on the electoral
vote. There will be ample opportunity
for every person to hear the returns.
All of the theaterS will announce them
and they will be bulletined at dozen
different places about town.

A Brutal Sea Captain Hl-Treats
His Crew.

TACOMA, W. T., Nov. 5.Sixteen
sailors of the ship Hecla, which arrived
here yesterday, loaded with wheat fol
Great Britain, entered suit in the dis
trict court against Capt. Snow of that
vessel for cruelty. They allege that the
Hecla started for Cardiff, Wales, with a
crew of sixteen men. After she had
been out but short time the captain
tbegan feeding his men on rotten meat
sand potatoes, which were not fit to eat,
band both Capt. Snow and his mate
tshamefully abused the sailors. While
,hear Cape Horn Capt. Snow
attacked the carpenter, break
ding his jaw and knocking
1out many teeth. A few days later, he
nearly killed one of the men. When de-
9bilitated by the poor food they were UNI
able to work, and were at times put in
the hold and tied up for forty-eight
hours. One of the men was tied to
stanchion four days without food. Dur
ing this time his scant rationS were
placed within sight. but out of reach.
When the Hecla reached Acapulco, the
men were weak from ill-treatment and

They Send Out a Circular in Be-
half OF England.

There are not few Orangemen in
Minneapolis, and every one OF them
will vote for Benjamin Harrison. They
believe Cleveland to be the enemy of
England. as shown in the Sackville
episode, and will vote solidly against
him. A circular letter was yesterday
received here, and sent out from
Orangemen headquarters in Canada. 1t
is headed, in large letters:
VOTE AGAINST CLEVELAND.
The body of it goes on to give the de-
tails of the Sackville letter and the sub
sequent action Of the department of
state. This it calls ''a deliberate insult
to our mother country" and asks every
Orangeman in Minneapolis to re-
Friend of Great Britain" The
circular was kept very quiet,
but copies have been seen by several
persons and its receipt here was the
cause of a Touchdown, last night, adj
ministered by Fifth-ward Irishman to
a man reputed to be an Orangeman.
lrishmen we're circulating the report
about. last night, and it had the effect
to change at least one Irish-American
vote, which would otherwise have gone
to Harrison.
There is large Irish-American vote
in Minneapolis. Two years ago it was
given very nearly solid to Blaine, and
he carried Hennepin county by the
ponderous majority of $500. Since
then these voters have returned to
their natural allegiance to the DEM
ocratic party, with very few ex-
ceptions, and this year their
vote will go almost unit to
Cleveland. Any uncertainty about
this will be ended by this Orange circu
lar, as it shows that the sympathy of
the administration is not with England.
A very large share of the efforts made
by the Republicans this year has been
directed to the Irish-American vote,
and the argument used has been an in
suit to their Intelligence. There is no
more thoughtful voter than an intelli-
gent Irjshman, and he does his own
reasoning and his own voting, too. W.
