The invitations to this swell affair are al

fortunate enough In having friend who is a
member OF the association and who has The
authority to grant Invitations. None but the
very select and wealthy society people can
afford to attend as IL costs s25 TO procure
tickets TO the fashionable ball. Twenty-Five
hundred Invitations were issued In the city

THE result Of Tuesdays elections
show that neither of the two big po-
litical parties will have walkover in
the great contest for President next
year. The chances seem to be rather
strongly in favor of the Democrats, in
view of the fact that they have carried
New York and Massachusetts and cut
down the majorities of the Republi-
cans in other States. If New York
will endorse the nomination of Grover
Cleveland next year, and then give
him a hearty support at the polls,
there will be little question as to the
result. But experience has proven
that New York is not to he trusted in
presidential years, and there's where
the element of uncertainty comes in.
The party that can carry New York
for it's candidate in 1892 will elect the
resident.

There were no great political sur
prises in the elections held on Tues
day. Neither party has been Knocked
out of time, but it is noticeable that
the Democrats come out of the night
in much better shape than the Re-
publicans do. The Republicans have
barely held their own, while the Dem
ocrats are encouraged by winning In
such doubtful States as Massachusetts
and Iowa.
In New York Flower for Governor
and the balance of the Democratic
ticket are elected over Fassett and
his colleagues by majority OF ABOUT
5000. Tammany made clean sweep
in New York city, electing all their
candidates. Flower made splendid
run in the interior of the State. The
legislature is in doubt, but the chan
ces are that the Republicans retain
control.
Mckinley defeated Governor Camp
bell in Ohio by majority of about
IS, 900. The Cincinnati Democrats
whose corrupt methods were exposed
bv Governor Campbell worked hard
against him, and helped largely In
his defeat. Tie Legislature is prooa-
bly, Republican by n safe majority.
In Massachusetts Governor Rus
sell, the popular young Democrat Is
reelected by majority of about
1000. although several Republicans
on the State ticket managed to slip
in.
In Maryland the Democrats swept
through the State like a cyclone, and
Frank Brown is elected governor by
an old. fashioned majority. The Dem
ocrats carried pretty nearly every
county in the State. They elected
their full ticket in Baltimore.
Pennsylvania goes Republican by
a majority of about $4,000, tremen-
dous effort having been made by
QUAY and his fellow-workers to get
out a big vote for their candidates.
In Virginia the Democrats made a
clean sweep, gaining over the big vote
of previous years. The opposition of
the Republicans was very feeble.
Governor Boies is reelected in Iowa,
the Democrats carrying the State by
a majority of about 5000.
In New Jersey the Democrats have
carried both branches of the LegiSla-
ture. and will have a good working
majority.
In Colorado the Republicans elect
their candidate for supreme judge,
and in South Dakota the Republican
candidate for Congress is elected.
Over in Washington county, the
Democrats made clean sweep, elect
ing their entire county ticket for the
first time since 1867. J. p. Fockler,
Edward CARROT, c. II. Smith and r.
J. Shafer are elected to the house of
delegates David Seibert to the State
senate; Jacob Friend, r. f. Stottle-
meyer, George G. Snyder, w. K.

THE Republicans of New York have
had the State so gerrymandered that
twas almost an impossibility to elect a
Democratic legislature. With State
majority of 40. 900, the Democrats were
forced to submit to a state Of affairs
that deprived them of two United
States Senators. But last Tuesday
they got out of the hole by electing a
legislature that will have majority
in both houses and on joint ballot,
and it is safe to say that they will not
be slow i'll remedying the evil from
which they have been suffering.

1T is beginning to appear that most
of our trouble with Chill is due to the
blundering-or worse-of Minister
Egan, an appointee of this admins

be made out of the position first of
all. He has made himself very dis
agreeable to the Chilians, who have
not hesitated to show their dislike for

CAMPBELL made great fight in
Ohio, but he was such a courageous
and resolute governor that he made
many enemies in his own party.
Many of the practical politicians"
were against him because he refused
to endorse their crooked behavior,
and they fought him bitterly at the
polls. He has made a good governor,
and he will retire in honor

Major Mckinley is an honorable and
