The Effects of Too Much Drink.

A minister, with a rather tlorid com
plexion, had gone into the shop of
barber, one of his parishioners, to be
shaved. The barber was addicted to
heavy bouts of drinking. after which
his hands were consequently unsteady
in his work. an shaving the minister
on the occasion referred to he inflicted
cut sufficiently deep to cover the
lower part of the face with blood. The
minister turned to the barber and said
in tone of solemn severity:
'"You see, Thomas, what comes of
taking too much drink"
"Ay," replied Thomas, ut make the

IN OTHER STATES.

Politics this year Is not confined tt
the new states. New York, Ohio, Viz.
ginia, Maryland, Mississippi and Iowa
are conspicuously in the ring, while
Nebraska will elect minor state officers
The hard fight in New York will be upon
the legislative ticket as there are several
gentlemen In the Empire State who
would not object to senatorial honors.
What effect Tanners expulsion will have
upon the soldier element in Ohio politics
remains to be seen, but that 1t will not
increase the Republican majority is be-
yond doubt. General Malone is the
Boulanger of Virginia politics, and while
he will make a desperate struggle he is
doomed to die In the last ditch.
Maryland and Mississippi can be de-
pended upon to stand off Ohio and Iowa.
The Republican party in the latter state
are getting a little restless over a wal
tariff and can't exactly see the beauties
of Republican protection as well as for

how THEY DID TT.

That Doodle, intimidation and fraud
were all used by the Republican party at
the election in this city yesterday is q
fact known to all who cared to scan the
political alleys and hiding places. Men
were known to vote the Republican
ticket in this city yesterday who had no
more right to vote any ticket than they
have to claim the authorship of the Ten
Commandments. Some of this work will
likely be the subject of judicial investi-
CATION. We have reliable information
to the effect that a certain doctor OF
doubtful standing. who has not been in
the territory five months, voted the
straight Republican ticket at least once
yesterday. The same patent medicine
vendor is one of the men who bought
some Of the seal goods, which had been
stolen from Babcock during Sundays
fire, at a price which would have excited
the suspicion Of any honest man.

Republicans Claim Only Three
Offices and Not Sure
of Those.

From Thursdays Daily.
The election excitement increased rather
than diminished yesterday, the delay in
the returns heightening the uncertainty
and keeping all interested persons on the
ragged edge between hope and despair.
| Early in the day the Republicans were in
clined to be more iubilant than they were
on Tuesday night aud claimed everything
with their customary avidity. We've
GOT 'em," was heard frequently until official
returns began to arrive, and then the
| claims OF the Carterites and Powerites
were not advanced SO strenu-
ously. Before the sun had
gone to bed the appearance o.
| things had changed very materially and
| when q count was made about midnight
| the sweeping assurances OF the Chinaman's
friends had narrowed down to this, that
three of their men on the county ticket
the sheriff, the assessor and the treasurer
were elected, The claim did not in the
least shake the confidence Of the Demo-
cratic aspirants for those Offices. There
/ was good reason for the confidence dis
| playse by those Democrats, for the unofi-
cia In turns were Indicative OF victory and
the official returns were better than had
been expected. All OF the other county
sfioes were conceded to the Democrats.
Tho intense excitement and persistent in
dustry I t the men engaged in the search for
the latest returns was very wearing on
thof e gentlemen and calculated to induce
wea riness on the part of the plain every
day citizen who votes from a sense OF duty
or as a matter of habit and takes no in
ter st in the election aft, the capacious
ma W of the ballot box has closed over his
ticket. But the active and eager gentlemen
aforesaid were not the ones who suffered
most by the unusual delay in the receipt OF
official figures. The judges and clerks OF
election were the persons most bowed down
b the weight of woe. Some OF them finished
their tasks yesterday morning, and even
then were ready to retire for a sleep OF
wsnty.four hours duration. The feel
jings OF those whose work was still
unfinished at the hour which divides
| to-day from yesterday can be better
| imagined than described. Their appearance
| Indicated not only that they were tired
| and cross but that they would hesitate a
long time about accepting another appoint
ment to clerical or judicial service on cleo
| ton day when the Australian system was
| observed. The only relief they found for
| their feelings was in ordinations as to the
amount of compensation they would
attempt to exact for their services. One
| set of polls officials whose labors came to
| an end at 6 O'Clock yesterday evening an
nounced their intention of asking for pay
for three days of eight hours each. Should
their claim be allowed and should all
other judges and clerks be paid on the
same plan, the cost of the services of clerks
and judges in this election will amount to
anot uncomfortable sum, especially in the
case OF those men who do not expect to be
able to conclude their count before IL
O'Clock tonight.
