REFKECTIUNN.

The eminent and uniform success Of
the republican party in Audubon
county this fall may be first attributed
to the harmony existing in party ranks,
but yet the overwhelming victory
could not have been won without or
gained effort. The first requisite for
success was found in the personnel Of

qualified and of character deserving

A GREAT MAGAZINE.
The Century for 1889.

The question has often been asked
ito what does the century owe its great
circulation y The Christian Union
once answered this by the statements
that lit has been fairly won, not by adj
vertising schemes but by the excellence
which cnaracterizes it in every depart
ment." In their announcements for
the coming year the publishers state
that it has always been their desire to
make the century the one Indispensable
periodical of its class, so that whatever
other publication might be desirable in
the family, the century could not be
neglected by those who wish to keep
abreast of the times in all matters per
tanning to culture. And the unprece-
denied circulation of the magazine
would seem to be the response of the
public to this intention.
With the November number the CEN
tuy begins its thirty volume
Two great features of the magazine
which are to continue throughout the
new volume are already well known to
the public, the Lincoln history and the
papers on siberia and the Exile Sys-
tenn The first of these, written by
MeSSrs. Nicolay and Hay, President
Lincoln's private secretaries, contains
the inside history of the dark days of
the war, as seen from the White House
The Siberian Papers, by George Ken
nan, are attracting the attention of the
civilized world. The Chicago Tribuae
says that mo other magazine articles
printed in the English language just
now touch upon a subject which 50
vitally interests all thoughtful people
in Europe and America and Asia" AS
is already known, copies of the century
entering Russia have these articles
torn out by the custom officials on the
frontier.
During 1850 the CcHtU3y will publish
the most important art feature that has
yet found place in its pages. 1t is the
result of four years work of Mr.. Tim
Othy Cole, the leading magazine en-
graver of the world, in the galleries of
Europe, engraving from the originals
the greatest pictures by the old masters.
\ series of papers on Ireland, its
customs, landscapes. etc, will appear
and there are to be Illustrated articles
on Bible scenes, treating especially the
the subjects Of the International Sur
day-SchOol Lessons. George W. Gable
will write strange, True Stories Of
Louisiana There will be novelties
and short stories by leading writer's,
occasional articles on war subjects
supplemental to the famous "War
Papers" by General Grant and Others,
which have been appearing in the CeH-
turn, etc, etc.
The century costs four dollars a year
and it is published by The Century Co.,
of New Nork, who will send copy Of
the full prospectus to any one o. re-
quest.

WR, BLAINE.

When the "reminiscences of the late
national campaign shall be written and
the record OF personal service for party
interests be made up there can be no
more entertaining pages than those de-
voted to the works of the great common
er, he whose ambition though lofty was
only an estimate Of his abilities,
whose answering devotion to party
and principle has overshadOwed self
interest, whose exalted conduct has eX-
empliiied the truth that patriotism is
the dominating spirit of truly great
politicians and stat6gmen, the man
whom partisan friends and adVorsarieS
admire for his honor as a statesman
and magnanimity as q politician
James q. Blaine. Thwarted though lie
was of attaining the objects of his
worthy ambition he has set high the
mark of patriotism and inspired rnpub-
licans to their best endeavors for sue
cess. Mr.. Blaine is q man of advancing
years whose life has been devoted to
public affairs and has ever been char
acterized by that unseliishnesS made
especially prominent in 1883. Others
have been placed in more prominent
positions of leadership during the past
quarter of century, but none have
brought greater wisdom or personal
strength to party counsels than the man
from Maine. Ills public professions
have ever been fulfilled by his public
works and his position once declared
was known. Never, by those familiar
with his career was II believed that he
would accept the nomination. thiG wear,
after the Florence letter was written.
1t was final and arguments of his friends
were futile 10 move him from the posi-
ton there taken. The people of the
nation regardless of party believe Ii
the purity Of his personal and public
career, all admire his unselhgh states
mall2hip, and whatever honor the new
administration may confer upon him
will be considered inadequate to his
services. ana si.Di;ld he be despatched
to distant court we would rest in con-
iidence that that court would enjoy
associations with a representative Of
the best i'll american citizenship and
craftsmanship.

within the county, leaving others to
save the nation.
Such speakers as came from abroad
were of high order. The dauntless
John Brennan, who came early in the
campaign, was vigorous and antago-
nistic and drew distinct lines and Gre
ated a spirit which marshalled republi-
can forces. Hon. G. III. Gath and State
Auditor Lyons were considerable of the
feelings of the opposition and confined
their addresses to convincing argument
Then came the polished and persuasive
ex-Gov. VIM. NJ. Stone, whose charming
oratory and convincing arguments
were irresistible.
Let the recollection of the work &C,
complished inspire the party to future
united effort, with faith pinned to the
old truism "in union there is strength

THE OFFICIAL COUNT.


The official canvass of votes cast in
the county comprise an interesting sub
jcct for pcrusal and a most agreeable
surprise in gains over the unofficial re-
turns The records of four years ago
show that there were cast 2ii0 votes for
presidential electors with majority of
4 for the democrats, while this year a
total of 1850 was attained, with a repub-
lican plurality of 1o6, showing an in
crease of go in the county and a rcpub-
lican gain of 16O. In 1884 the ticket
was lost with the single exception of II
supervisor while this year the county
candidates are ahead of the presidential
ticket all the way from IS to 4O7. These
brief comparisons are such as to bring
joy to the republican heart and cause it
to anticipate future contests with con-
tidence.
The returns as corrected from last
week show larger majOrities. Recorder
Viewer leads the ticket with 563, Clerk
Vail has 52S, Supervisor Armstrong l9O
County Attorney Hanna lis. while Con
gressman-clect Reed has comfortable
plurality of 1914, or 81 more than the ma
tiOnal ticket.
The funny feature of the cOmpaign
is found in the fact that one vote was
cast in Extra township for August
Oelke democratic candidate for super
visor for judge of the district court,
the Inference of which is that reform"
is needed in the judicial department.
Speculation as to whether this ardent
admirer of Mr.. Oelke was Defuddled or
in earnest is idle, but the conviction is
uncompromising that he ought to be
bundled out Of the country with the il
lustriQus but stupid sackVilie West.

THE general comment of democrats
is that they collectively and individu-
ally secretly believed that the president
made a mistake in issuing his free
trade message to congress. Their post
election wisdom and honor is striking.
but it will be remembered that all have
aided and abetted the president in his
endeavor to pcrpetrate the English fad
upon the American people. They are
turning states evidence, and their CON
duct in future campaigns will be re-
garded with suspicion.
