Madam" he insinuated, as he rapidly
unrolled before the screen door a package
of something, Il have here some OF the
most wonderful ny-paper you ever saw.
Every square inch of il is warranted TO
attract as many flies as can stand upon a
square inch, reckoued to be, madam, in
the neighborhood of thirty-two without
uncomfortable rovding. That would
make on a sheet of this size, which con-
tains 500 squares, 10000 flies. Think of
that, ma'am! And only the ridiculous
price of a nickel"
II don't care for any of it, replied the
lady, coldly.
"In case you keep boarders," be con-
tinued, unrolling larger piece, here is
a sheet containing 800 squares. That
means a, ,000shies saved from falling into
the soup or the butter, madam, and ought
to raise the price OF board percepubly.
Why, l can remember when l was board
ing
81 do not keep boarders, and L do not
want any of your hy-paper," said the
lady, i'll a freezing tone. The tly-paper
man began to roll up his packages.
You will not take any to-day,
madam? 1t is the last time shall be in

great eastern metropolis by tomorrow,
and the fly season has only Just begun"
"Y on need not stay here on my porch
any longer; if you do will set the dog

hotly and began to close the other door.
Just moment, madam" put in the
ffy-paper peddler. 1T is an extremely
hot day, but the GOODNESS of the atmos-
phere in this neighborhcod is so refresh
ing that | have enjoyed it more than if
mad sold you two nickels' worth OF the

PRESS COMMENTS.
The Tribune" Says the Result is still
in Doubt.

The ''Irtbune' Says the Result is Still
in Doubt.
New YORK, Nov. S.-The Tribune will
tomorrow morning say: Returns re-
ceived at this hour of writing are not
satisfactory to the Republicans.
1t can only be said that returns are not at
hand to Justify the assertion that several
great Western States have given their
electoral votes to Cleveland, and without
those votes he is still in danger of disap-
pointment. The Republicans failed to
carry New York. The machinery in the
great Democratic cities turned out major
tiles sufficient to Overpower the votes of
Repu blican countless which appear to
have been down below expectation.
In the absence of returns from any con-
siderable part of New Jersey, it can only
be assumed that the State has gone DEM
ocratic as usual. Connecticut is claimed
by both parties, but returns appear in
favor of the Democrats. With New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut, four or five
probable votes from Michigan, and the
South made solid by fraud and wholesale
denial of the rights of suffrage, Cleveland
would have about 216 Electoral votes,
needing only those of Indiana or Illinois
to assure his election. At present writing
Indiana and Illinois are claimed by both
parties, but without sufficient full re-
turns to place the result in either State
beyond doubt.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. S.-The Democratic
victory in Kentucky to-day was most
sweeping one owing to the secret ballot
law, which went into effect to-day, re-
turns are coming in slowly. 1t is esti-
mated that Cleveland will have $4,000
majority. Kentucky sends ten Demo-
Gratis 10 Congress and one Republican.
In the Fifth District Caruth (Dem.) was

CLEVELAND, Nov. S.-Sixteen precincts
out OF $50 in this city give Harrison ], I,S39.
Cleveland $500. Last year the same pre-
cincts gave Mckinley I,7Si, Campbell
,, ,l97, net Democratic gain of 245. The
same ratio Of gain will give Cleveland
the city by 1000 and the county by 500.
-Four years ago Harrison carried the
county by 1000.
Returns from Hamilton County show
that Harrison viii carry the county by
over 5000, while the county and Con-
gressional Republican ticket falls far be-
hind the National vote. The Republican
Congressional nominee in the First Dis
trict is closely pressed by the Democrat,
and the Democratic candidate for Auditor

so the direct vote for Cleveland cuts very
little figure. The returns are comtng in

result can be known, but figures largely
indicate the success of the Weaver Elect
ors.
LINCOLN (Neb.), Nov. s.-A dozen pre-
cincts outside of this city, received up to
IL P. NJ, show a general purpose or the
part of the Democrats to vote for Weaver
Electors, but no estimates can be made
on the State ticket other than a slight
falling off i'll the independent vote.

even chance to carry West Virginia
Chairman Harrity of the Democratic

claims New York, New Jersey, Indiana
and Illinois, and thinks Harrison has
lost some of the far Western States.
GENERAL STEVENSON GRATIFIED.
BLOOMINGTON Ulls.), Nov. 9-Steven-
son was busy all evening reading tele-
grams of congratulation from different
parts of the country. At midnight a
constant stream of friends were rushing
to his house to extend congratulations.
Mr.. Stevenson, of course, expressed ex-
treme qualification at the result, and said
he considered it due to a revolt on the part
of the farmers and wage-earners against
the Mckinley tariff and high protective
policy.
The Democracy, said he, are under
everlasting obligations to Senator Hill
and Tammany for their splendid work.
He could not too earnestly express his
gratitude. At an early hour this (Wednes-
day. morning the city was a bedlam,
bands of marching men, with rockets
and Roman candles and shrieking for
Cleveland and Stevenson, parading the
streets.
INTEREST AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The usual in
terest was displayed here in the results
of the election. Large crowds congre-
gated on Pennsylvania avenue and other
principal streets during the night and
watched with interest the figures flashed
ou the bulletin boards. President Har-
rison received the returns at the White
House in company with Secretary Foster,
Attorney General Miller and Secretary
Tracy. The party continued to receive
returns until after midnight.

10 $4,000. He has heard from only two
Congressional Districts, the First and

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-As the returns come
in it conclusively demonstrated that
Illinois to-day cast the heaviest vote in
the history of the State. All parties ap-
pear to have polled practically their entire
vote. The surprise of the day in the city
is the little disparity between the Cleve-
land and Altgeld vote. Scratching was
unusually heavy.
CHICAGO, Nov. SO p. M.-The proba-
bility is that Cleveland has carried Hi
nois and Altgeld, Democratic candidate
for Governor, elected by II. 200 to 1860
majority. Chicago viii give the Demo-
cratic ticket LOCO majority, and the bal
ance of Cook County will reduce that to
20,OO0 Republican headquarters do not
claim over 10000 TO l5,00O tor Fiter outside
OF Cook County.
CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Five hundred and
seventy-seven out of O93 precincts in Chi
cago give Harrison 1906, Cleveland 81,
S25. one hupdred and forty-eight town
ships in Illinois outside OF Cook County
give Harrison 23,672. Cleveland Is, lO5.
Cleveland's net gain, l,357.
CHICAGO. Nov. 8.-l2:30 A. M.-The in
dications are that Illinois has gone for
Cleveland and Stevenson by from 5000 to
10000 plurality, and the entire State DEM
ocTatic ticket elected. Late returns may
! change these figures, as the country dis
lTIcls YET 10 Oe nearG rom are likely to
cut it down. The Democratic gains in
| the country precincts, Chicago and Cook
County will give Cleveland and Steven
son and Altgeld not less than I5,UaO
plurality, which will probably more than
offset the Republican majority in the
country precincts. AS the country thus
far has shown that Harrison's vote will
be less than in 1855, when Harrison had a
plurality Of 1000 in the whole State.
| Two hundred and twenty precincts OF the
State outside of Chicago give Harrison
,259, Cleveland 81, ,S39. The same pre-
cincts in l6S5 gave Harrison IS, 74o Cleve-
| land 81, ,sO5, 50 Cleveland's net gain is
l ,523.
The City Press Association claims that
900 precincts Of 693 in Chicago give Cleve-
! land 1854, Harrison 72,IsU. This gives
Cleveland lead of p, l54 thus far in Cook
County. Harrison's plurality in the
State outside of Cook County in 1883 was
y, 900, and the country thus far shows 4
falling OF of I,523 in 220 precincts. It
would seem that the result must be very
close. probably not over 5000 for Cleve-
land. The Democrats have probably
elected both COngressmen-at- Large, and
carried not less than ten OF the twenty
Congressional districts in the State.
