after the admission of four new States.
The Republicans lost the State in 1884
by a plurality of 1047 votes, when
there were "a ,999 Prohibition votes and
16,995 Greenback, and won the State
in 1888 by plurality of II, 1913 votes,
when there were 30,231 Prohibition
votes. New York must be reckoned a
doubtful State so long as the Prohibi-
ton organization lends sinister aid to
the Democratic party. The new States
are all likely to be Republican, with
the possible exception of Montana, and
will add at least ten votes to the Repub-
lican presidential vote. As their pres
ent population, estimated at ,026, 1873,
may double by 1892, their electoral
vote will be increased, if the apportion-
ment under the new census shall be
made in time. In addition to the an
nual increase of our population, there
will be not less than two million immi-
grants entitled to become naturalized
citizens prior to our next presidential
election, and of these about 600,0
may have the right to qualify as lawful
voters. In analyzing the votes of our
adopted fellow citizens. it is proper to
say that much the larger part of the
Catholics may be expected to vote with
the Democratic party, although the un-
animity of the Irish vote can no longer
be maintained. The English who come
to stay are about equally divided. OF
the German and Scotch immigrants,
from 60 to 50 per cent are usually ex-
pected to be Republican, and a still
larger proportion of the Scandinavians.
The Italians congregate mainly in cit
les, and their political aflinities appear
yet undetermined. On the whole, the
votes of our foreign-born fellow citizens
are getting to be pretty evenly distrib-
uted, with a growing preponderance in
ravor of Republicanism.'
He also counts upon the sons of vet
Grams who viii vote in the next presi-
Dental election for the first time; upon
the leayen of Republicanism working
in the border States, and upon the de-
velopment of Republican leaven in
all parts of the South.

The wife of ex-Pres. Hayes has just
died at her home in Ohio. She was a
remarkably fine woman, and among the
most popular women who ever directed
domestic affairs at the White House.
She gained some notoriety by exclud-
ing wines from the table at receptions,
and setting vigorous example of total
abstinence TO Washington society that
had marked influence.

ORANGE COUNTY COURT.

The trial of Royal +. West for adul-
terry was concluded June 10 and soon az
ter the Jury brought in verdict Of gull
". Then began the trial of State VS..
Carl Ekstrom and James Foley on in-
dictment for burglary of Charles God
frey's carpenter shop at the upper end of
Chelsea village on the night of April 6,
1889. This trial aroused much local in
terest. A burglary had occurred in
blacksmith shop as well as the carpen-
ter shop, with apparent intention to pro-
cure tools with which to burglarize the
village stores. Three chisels and bit
stock were found next morning April Z,
part under the hay in barn beyond the
bridge and the rest under tree on the
Straflord road: There was testimony to
show that the respondents stayed in that
barn over night and were seen next
morning going along the Strafford road.
The respondents told wholly different
story as TO their whereabouts, and the
jury after several hours consideration
failed to agree and were discharged.
States Attorney Denison and J. X. Dar-
ling for the State George l.. stow and
X. NJ. Harvey for the respondents. 1t is
understood that the jury was equally di-
vided. Court took a recess from Friday
afternoon till Monday at , p. m. when
the case of State VS.. Adelbert Albin, an
indictment for adultery, was brought up.
Nathan r. Carpenter, who was recent
ly arrested and fined for manufacturing
cider brandy has now been arrested for
selling. and Jefferson Flint has been ar
rested for running an Illicit distillery.
States Attorney j. ID. DenisOn is do
ing what the United States officials have
failed TO do and is making the times very
warm for moonshiners. Mr.. Carpenter
has been considered an estimable man
heretofore and has fair property, bur
nay be ruined financially now.

REPUBLICAN PARTY PROSPECTS

Senator Morrill, has an article IN the
July Forum under the above title that
contains some very interesting state
ments regarding the work and prospects
OF the party now in power. We would
call attention to some of these. He
speaks first of the splendid achievements
of the party. Then he considers some
of the perils of administration that lie
before it. One of these has reference
to the civil service law. This needs TO
be administered with greater fidelity
than by the last administration, and it
is evidently the intention of the Presi-
dent to carry ont this purpose. Anoth-
er peril to be met and overcome has
reference to the silver question. The
coming and boarding of silver dollars
by the government has brought about
a steady decline in the bullion value of
the same. Whenever our imports are
in excess Of exports and we must ship
specie silver and silver certificates viii
drop down to the commercial value of
silver while gold viii command a pre-
MUM. The negro problem presents
some difficulties. Northern sentiment
Is shocked at the southern methods Of
repressing the negro vote, and the peo-

The Caledonian gives statement in
regard to the ratio of State papers to
the population by counties. According
to its figuring Orange county has the
smallest number, there being only one
paper to IL ,544 inhabitants. This does
not argue against the intelligence of the
people Of this county as we are abund-
antly supplied from other counties. We
hope no newspaper man will take it into
his head to "set up" here simply be-
cause Of our ignorance.

The hegira of American pleasure

Somebody has raised the question as

that he still lived and would in due

MANY men are murdered and nobody is
hung on account thereof, it would be a
most unfortunate thing to hang a man
for a murder that was never committed.
We trust that the authorities of Chica-

seen Cronin, test his sanity, and if all
right demand the production of the DR..
We fear that detectives are too apt TO
frame theories and hunt up facts to fit
them. Better make sure of the facts.
Rut then. we believe DIR. Cronin is
dead. He could not survive all that
has transpired since his reported muir
der. Somebody was anxious to create
a sensation, and get up little notorie-
ty. and the newspapers are ready to
catch on to anything that promises a
BIG sale.
