 Clear of Bryan Lynn.

Bryan E. Lynn of the Sarshelds, who fought with Sergeant Orlotski in New Haven few weeks ago, went to New York Monday to see Orlofski and make final arrangements for the Thanksgiving day contest ill New York. He failed to find his man at any of the numerous addresses and returned to New Haven.

THE NATIONAL AND STATE VOTE
Cleveland Lost by Trading and Hartford
 County Saved Eulkeley.

County Saved i'ulkeIcN.
 The dust of the fuss is settling and many results are already known. Connecticut has cast its vote in favor of a low tariff, but the margin Is so narrow that the friends of reform are disappointed. The free trade scare was not effective III the big industrial centers, whatever it may have been in the country districts. That the national ticket suffered from trading in order to benefit local nspirants for office can be see if the returns are studied closely, and to this probably is due the cut i'll the democratic plurality. The democratic gains are largely in WinQhnm and New London counties. Republican supremacy in the eastern part of the state was weakened, running about GOO be- hind the returns for 1881. Litchheld county about held its own. In MiddleseX and Fairfield counties the republicans gain especially in Fairfield, where the returns show gain of G4S for Harrison. New Haven county showed only 194 democratic gain, which is rot all equivalent per cent for the registration.
 From the Courant's rsturns the total vote of the state 10" president is l03,6io. Cleveland has 14,S54, Harrison ,f,320, | Fisk, f, 105, labor l9l. This make Cleve- lands plurality 33-t. A change of 163 votes would have given the state to the | republicans.
 In Hartford county the biggest turnover was cooked. Cievelaud's plurality Of 36J in 1884 became a plurality of 5GG for liar rison, republican gain of 930
 The gubernatorial vote shows that many republicans voted for Morris, and sont probably voted for Camp. Bulkelry ran behind the vote for his brother in 1SSf iu every county except MiddleseX and Hart ford. The really remarkable flip flop oc- cured in Hartford county, where a demo cratic plurality of 4S6 in 1885 became a re- publican plurality of 692 in 1888. h Mid dlese1 county the republican plurality of four years ago was increased little over 200 votes In New Haven county, Judge Morris gained S;4 votes on Walters plur ality 313 in Fairfield county ,364 in Wind ham, and 65 in Litchfeld. In New Lon don county a republican plurality of 52, in 1884 became democratic plurality of S' in 1888. If Hartford county had not been ''inflooenced" Mor is would have had the necessary majority. As it is complete re turns show the total vote to be 153 ,542, of which Bulkeley received 13,666. Morris D, ,O31 Morris lacks 1,141 of majority and Bulkeley will be elected by repub Gcan legislature.

GOOD ADVICE.
For Young Men Who are
Thinking of Marriage.
Select the glrl,

| '''S -i'A-
Agree with the girls father In pol
itics and the mother in religion.
If you have rival keep an eye on
him; but if he is a widower keep
two eyes on him.
Don't swear to the girl that you
have no bad habits. 1t will be
enough to say that you never heard
yourself snore in your sleep.
Don't put much sweet stuff on pa
per. If you do you will hear it read
in after years, when your wife has
some special purpose, illfiicting upon
you the severest punishment known
to married man.
Go home at a reasonable hour in
the evening. Don't wait till the girl
has to throw her whole soul into a
yawn tha. she can't cover with both
hands. A little thing like that may
cause a GOODNESS a. the very begin
ming of the game.
If, while wearing your new sum-
mer trowsers for the first time, you
sit down Oh some Inolases candy that
little Willie has left on char, smile
sweetly and remark that you don't
mind sitting on molasses candy at
all, and that "boys will be boys"
Reserve your true feelings for future
reference.
If, on the occasion of your first
call the girl on whom you have
placed your affections looks like an
iceberg and acts like a cold wave,
take your leave early and stay away.
Woman in her hour of freeze is un-
certain, coy and hard to please.
In cold weather finish saying good
night in the house. Don't streatch it
all the way to the front gate, and
thus lay the foundation for future
astema, bronchitis, neuralgia and
chronic catarrh, to help you to worry
the girl to death after she has mar
ried you.
Don't lie about your financial con-
di;ion. 1t is very annoying to a
bride who has pictured for herself a
life of luxury in her ancestral halls
to learn too late that you expect hel
to ask q bald-headed parent who has
been uniformly kind to her to take
YOU in out of the cold
Don't be too soft. Don't say
s'These little hands shall never do d
stroke of work when they are mine;'
aud "you shall have nothing to dc
in our home out to sit all day and
chirp to the canaries," rs if any sen
sible woman could be happy fooling
away time in that style; and girI
has Il fine retentive memory for the
soft things and silly promises ot
courtship, and occasionally in after
years. when she is washing dinner
dishes or patching the west end oI
your trousers, she will remind yor
Of them in cold, sarcastic, tone Of

When convinced that Colorado is
an agricultural State, the invariable
inquiry of Eastern people is, "What
will the soil producer" To answer
that all the farm, garden and orchard
products common to all parts of the
United States is accepted as rather
an exaggeration. If we attempt to
give the list of products, the raising
of which is profitable in Colorado,
we will be sure to leave out many
things, for the list is SO long and the
articles so numerous. As result of
the efforts applied elsewhere in till
ing the soil there is an abundant
yield of wheat, barley, oats, corn,
potatoes, alfalfa, vegetables and
fruits of all kinds, while recent ex.
perinents prove that sorghum, tobac-
c., f;tx, hops aud other things can
