Efforts have been made recently to
establish the Priority of admission into
the Union of one of the Dakotas. It
now transpires that no one knows which
was admitted first. When the Presi-
dent received from the State Depart
ment the two proclamatiors Tor his
signature, the question of priority at
once came up. After some debate the
two documents, unlocked at, were laid
face downward on the desk and shuff1ed
together. Then they were turned face
upward, but covered with a sheet of
paper. The sheet was slipped aside
until the blank spaces for the presi-
dental signature were exposed; the au-
tograph was appended to each, the ink
allowed to dry, the proclamations
turned over once more and again vigor-
Ously shufflad

Early Figures.

From reports received up to the
morning Of the 9Th, it appears that in
the elections the previous day the Re-
publicans carried Ohio, except the
head of the ticket, which is in doubt;
Pennsylvania by big majority /;
Massachusetts, by a small majority
Nebraska and Colorado. The Demo
Gratis swept Virginia and probably
won in Iowa, where Republican ma
jorities have been greatly reduced and
perhaps wiped out. The Democrats
carry New York by 10000, but the Re-
publicans retain the Legislature. Mis-
sissippi and Maryland are Democratic,
and Cook County, ILL.,, was carried by
the Democrats. Tammany was success
full in New York city.
Dispatches received up to midnight
On the 9Th indicate that the Democrats
have majority of the Ohio Legislature
and probably most of the state ticket,
besides the governor. They elected
governor In Iowa, with the rest of the
'ket in doubt, and the Legislature Re-
,ou. The Democratic majority in
was about % 900.
