The report of Captain Thomas Of
The Maryland Oyster Police Force in
reference to the shooting of Isaac
Sterling, October 18th, is pub i'hed
elsewhere, and is, in our opinion, en-
tirely unwarranted by the facts in
the case. That Sterling was shot by
some Que of the Virginia Police Force
is not disputed, but that the shoot
ing was entirely unwarranted and
in cold blood" by Captain Gaskius,
no one who knows the man can be
lieve, if every citizen of Maryland
who has ever pjnndered our oyster
beds and every citizen of Crjsfield
who sy1npathizes with them were to
stand up and testify against him.
The truth in nutshell is. that SteT-
ling was caught in taking oysters
over the line on the Virginia side
aud preferring to take the chances of
escaping When hailed by CAPTAIN
taskins, TO on'inement in our jail
and forfeiture of his boat, was acci.
dentally hit by shot fred to make
him heave to, and that is all there is
in the matter, despite the inligna
ton meeting of the citizens OF Girls
field. OF course, every citizen of Ac-
comac deplores the shooting of Mr..
Sterling and no one more than Capt.
Gaskins, but if a man will transgress
our laws, especially after being
warned, as we are advised, this man
had been frequently by Captain Gas
kins, the results of his rashness and
folly should not and will not make
lis join in the false clamor Of our
maryland neighbors nor can the Gov
ernor of Virginia honor the requisi-
tion of men prompted by the spirit
which they seem to be. IfCaptain
Gaskins has exceeded his authority
a Virginia jury is competent to try
him, and the Executive of Virginia
will hardly consent for its rights to
be usurped in that respect.

Now that the battle of the ballot

thanks to theiy honored Count,

for the zeai and earnestness put forth
in the late and in all other canvasses
since the robes of Office were donnec
by him. He is entitled to and should
receive the unstinted gratitude OF
his party; for his labors have been
those of love. Under his guiding
hand, the majority for the Democra

NEW HAMpsHIRE.

CONCORD, Nov. OBJECTION in New
Hampshire yesterday was for presidels-
tial electors, two congressman and state
legislature. Returns from this state
will be very late. The counting under
the Australian system delays matters be
yond all expectations. Returns from 20
scattering towns and one ward of this
city show uniform republican gains
which, if continued, will give Harrison
tho State by over 1000. Indications
favor the election of Blair, rep. in the
first congressional district; and the cleo
ton of Smith, rep, for governor.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Jn the Republi-
ciil headquarters last night after half an
hours comparative lull, the news was
received from Chemung county, the
home of J. Sloat Fassett and Senator
Fill, that the Republicans had made a
gain of / ,120 over the vote Of 1883, but
when at 1926 o'clock the announcement
was made that Indiana bad gone RepuD-

knew no bounds. The crowd by this
time were wild at the good news an

From some men who crowded their
way through the mass of yelling, singing
enthusiasts it was learned that the same
enthusiasm was existing downtown
among the Democrats, but naturally the
news was discredited among the men,
who wore almost to a mal Republican.
As the reports continued to arrive say
ing that state after state was falling into
line for Harrison the crowd became
more and more delnonstrative. AT 1898
o'clock the announcement was made
that Chairman Carter Gid not concede
the state Of New York. He sent a mes
sage to President Harrison, saying: I'VE
have them dead" A little Liter ne sent
word down to the waiting crowd from
his nest on the third floor that his cry
was "Ben, Ben, Ben Harrison" The
