power and in animation of action. Her
part was repete with pretty songs, and in
the love scene with Antarsid, she was
especially pleasing. Tessa, and Buccametta
her mother, were a precious pair " whose
vocal contributions were also well received,
and Sebil came in with pretty effect. Harry
Brown, as the Pasha the leading spirit of
the comedy, raised the " old Harry" with
the risibles of the audience. The hypo-
chondriac that did not laugh in his sleep
after Witnessing the "trip" is yet to be
found. The Pasha was well seconded in
the funny business by Miradillo, the impe-
cunious, happy-go-ucl<y African traveller
Francis Gaillard. Though prior mention is
made of these two as particularly typical Of
the play, Hubert Wilke, as Antarsid sus-
tanned fine part, vocally and dramatically.
Charles. Weisner, the ugly Koptic, was a
successful opposite to the other charac-
ters. A good chorus was also an enjoyable
feature of thu play, frst-class in the respects
of cast, costumes and stage setting.

The Vote for President.


Condensed and divested of the flood of
details, the story of Tuesdays election is
this Harrison has carried all the Northern
States by safe puralites with the exception
of New Jersey, Connecticut and possibly
California-very meager and inconclusive
returns having been received from the lat
ter state. Connecticut is very close, and it is
barely possible the official count may give it
to the republicans, but they were conceding
it to the democrats Wednesday afternoon.
Dispatches from Chairman Quay, of the ma
tional republican committee sent late
Wednesday afternoon to Senator Edmunds
at Burlington and to Hon. c. s. Page at
Montpelier stated that the republicans had
carried New York and Indiana by safe plu-
ralities, but that they had lost Connecticut
by a small majority. A dispatch received
from the Boston Journal Wednesday evening
by Col. c. S. Forbes stated that all the demo-
cratic papers in New York and Brooklyn ad-
NIT that Harrison has carried New York,
and practically the same admission is made
for Indiana, but New Jersey and Con-
necticut are for Cleveland. This despatch
further states that there is no break in the
republican states of 1884. The great West
and Northwest are solid for Harrison. Con-
ceding that California, Connecticut and
New Jersey are for Cleveland, Harrison has,
in the states conceded to the republicans,
225 electoral votes. As POI are required to
elect, Harrison has margin of "a votes.
1t is not certain that California is not for
Harrison and that an authoritative report
of the election there will not yet add her
eight votes to the Harrison column, making
his grand total 233 votes.
Fifty-First Congress.
The republican majority in the United
States senate will be maintained. The
Tribltne claims the house of representatives
for the republicans by twenty-five majority
while the HerdH makes that body demo-
cratic by twenty-five majority. There is
reason to hope that the Herdld'S figures are
erroneous and that the house will have a
good working republican majority.

A Horrible Inheritance

The transmission of the fearful effects of contagious blood poison is the most horrible inheritance which any man can leave to his innocent posterity; but 1t can be certainly mitigated and in the majority of cases, prevented by the use of the antidote which Nature fur nishes, and which is found in the remn- dy known all over the world as Swift's Specific commonly called as. S Sn
 Mr.J. H. Brown, of Horneilsvillc, NJ Y, writes: Three years l suffere with th's horrible disease. Swiit's Specific cured me completely"
 Prof. Edwin Baar, 234 E. 22nd st. NY, writes: ''Sw is's Specific cured me of q fearful Case of Blood Poison"
 Br. B. F. Wingtield, of the Soldiers Home, Richmond, Va, writes: "Swift's Specific cured me Of severe case of Blood Poison."

Supervisor Frank Proctor re- gently in Graham County with messed a terrific fight between two large Gopher snakes measur- ing fully five feet. When his at tention was called to the fight the snakes were intertwined like the strands of a rope and appar- ently straining every muscle to in creased the tension. Finally be- coming exhausted they sprang apart and lay helpless but watch ing each other with malice in their eyes. As soon as sufficiently re- covered the battle was renewed. In this manner it continued for some time without the odds being declared in favor of either. Both were killed by MT. Henry Dowdle who was with MT. Proctor at the time.-Citizen.

The father of lies has surely a very efficient deputy in our midst. Not content with wilfully pervert- ing the truth he must needs steal the nom de plume of our Thatcher correspondent, and pour into the willing ear of the editor of the Tucson Star such a tissue of false hoods regarding our county and its affairs as must only make his chief exclaim, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant" That the account of the prisoners escape and the circumstances at tending it is false in every par ticular will be seen when you hear that District Attorney Bolan was at that time present in the county seat, keeping faithful watch and ward over our county affairs, and who knows the utter falsity of the garbeled statements of the Star. The judge. by the way, is proud of everything appertainlng to the good of Graham, to whom he owes his all, and deplores more than any one else the Stars use less attacks upon the Hon. Geo. H. Stevens.
 Messrs. Fitzgerald, Pomeroy and Bolan have returned from the Phenix convention. Mir. Pomeroy is making arrangements for his trip to St. Louis. Mir. Bolan, it is said, has retired from politics and will build a residence adjoin- ing the court house, from which point of vantage he will keep a sharp lookout over the welfare of | the county.
 It has been decided to build a new brick school house here in | place of our present structure. This is made feasible and eeonom- ical by means of the brick making | machine owned by MT. Hirds.
 Harvesting will commence next | week, when the county treasurer will put the reaper at work. The crop is splendid one this year.
 That our pamphlet describing the resources of Graham county is bound to result ID great good is evidenced by the large number of'letters received by the compiler. He received recently in one mail thirty-four letters relating to the matter. He is also in receipt of an autograph letter from General Miles complimenting him highly upon the manner in which his work was performed.
 Frank Dysart has returned from Clifton, and speaks highly of the and courtesy of your people. He says that he made one especially pleasant acquaint- ance, and thinks of visiting your burg as frequently as possible. Perhaps you can inform us what the attraction is.

Beyond the facts so succinctly stated in our telegram of last Wednesday regarding the Demo cratic convention at Phenix there is little more to state. We have clipped from several of our ex- changes their opinions regarding the outcome of the gathering, and from which clippings it IS very clearly seen that the Pima crowd of "didn't-get-an-office" soreheads were sadly left. The point of which they make so much now, relative to the tabling of a resolu- ton endorsing Governor Zulick, is ridiculous ln view of the facts of the case, when it is know that an agreement was entered into among the members of the con- vention that, for the purpose of harmonizing the factions, no ref erence to the matter should be made, and that the resolution of endorsement was offered by Heney, a Pima county anti-Zulick man. Had a resolution of censure been presented it would have met the same fate. The ill-timed and venomous remarks of Hughes were listened to with marked disappro- bation, and he was finally hissed down by the convention. To sum the matter up, as the Tombstone Prospector (anti-Zulick) very truly says. the fact that Zulick was not censured was a virtual defeat to the Pima county kickers and victory for the straight-out Demo crats. Little Steve" and J1m Coyle, who were foremost in the effort to give Hughes his quietus are to be congratulated upon their great success.
 The delegates are all unanimous in praise of their treatment in Phenix, as we'll as in theIr very favorable opinion of the town. The hall was most tastefully dec orated and a very pleasant feature was the singing of appropriate songs by party of lady and gen tlemen vocalists.

The broad Atlantic, is ever stormy thor oughfare. Yet blow the winds ever so fierce- ly, and ride the waves ever so loftily, seamen must man the good ships, tourists will brave the passage, and commercial travellers and buyers must visit the centres of foreign trade and manufacture. That atrocious malady, seasickness, together with colicky pains and much inward uneasiness is often endured when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters would have fortified the voyagers against them. Sea captains, and in fact all old salts and veteran travellers are acquainted with the protective value of this estimable preventive and remedy, and are rarely un- provided with 1t.

Pedro Michelena, our popular and efficient county recorder, ac- companied by Jerome H. Vaughn, arrived in Clifton Monday night. Mir. Michelens comes armed with the authority of a deputy assessor and will assess property in Cliff ton and vicinity, assisted by MT. Vaughn, who will appraise the value of mines and ores. In this connection, and in reply to a good many inquiries made, it would not be out of the way to state the law of taxation in regard to mines. Mines are not accessible unless patented. The improvements and ores on the dump, however, are to be valued and taxed in the regular manner.
 Frank Dysart returned to Solo, knoxville lastdSaturday with a nu- merously signed petition praying that the mail service between Sol omonville and Morenci be increas- ed to three times a week. The petition recites as arguments in favor of the increase, that Solo knoxville is the county seat of Graham county, and that it is important to the people of Clifton and Morenci that they should be in more frequent direct communi- cation herewith; also that there are a large number of ranches and farms on the line of the road which would be greatly benefited. It would simply be a matter of justice for the government to grant the request.
