Some days ago DR.. G. T. Lewis, as

dent M. E. Ingalls, of the fact that the
Council did not deem it expedient to

former agreement entered into with
Mr.. Ingalls, direct. In reply to which

communications from MIR. Frazier, have to say
that Mr.. Stevens thought the proposition made
you was better for your city than the one that
had made. But as you seem disposed to have
the passenger station, and put in $1,000 and our
company $1,000 we shall go ahead on that basis
Very truly yours,

THE great national election is
over and Cleveland has won. The
victory for national democracy is
complete. 1t was a great surprise
even to democracy itself. The re-
publicans of Bonner's Ferry take
their defeat with good grace. Con-
sentative republicans like w. L.
Kinnear and others say they hope
that the democrats have all branch
es Of the government so that they
can either do something or have
their inability to accomplish any
good clearly demonstrated.

EX-SENATOR Mcconnell will be
the next governor of Idaho. Al
though he has run behind his ticket
outside of Latah county, he has won
signal victory for he had to fight
it out single handed and alone. A
spirit Of fairness compells us to say
that Mcconnell is the coming man
in the republican party Of Idaho.
He will be the next senator.

MINNESOTA NEWS.

Tho Republican State Ticket Comes Out
Victorious.
ST. PAUL, Nov. AT the Republican
state headquarters large number of
dispatches were received during the day,
and while no official figures were given,
the news was sufficient to justify Chair
man Jamison in asserting that fusion in
Minnesota had been defeated. All re-
turns show that the fusion electors are
not running even with the straight cleo
toral candidates.
From dispatches received during the
afternoon the Republican state central
committee make the following claims:
Nelson's plurality in the state will not
fall below 10000. The balance of the
state ticket will run ahead of Nelson.
Tawney is elected to congress in the
First district.
McCleary in the Second.
The Third district is doubtful, but
chances seem to favor Hail.
Kiefer has carried the Fourth district
by OF least 1 800 plurality.
In the Fifth Fletcher is sure winner
and Judge Searle IS elected in the Sixth
The Seventh district is doubtful and
the result will not be known for a day
or two. The Republicans claim the
lower house Of the legislature by ma
Jority of II. Gains are reported in Fill.

Democrats Claim the Election of the En-

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 9.-There is no
outlook. Wisconsin is certainly Demo
cratic for Cleveland and Peck by from
10000 to $4,000. Republicans concede
state Legislature, which will return a
Democratic senator in place of Sawyer.
Majority of congressman are Democrats.
An extra of the Journal issued at a.
m. contains the following:
MILWAUKEE, Nov. g. 1892.
Hon. Grover Cleveland, New York -
Wisconsin assures you her twelve cleo
toral votes and congratulates you and
the country on the magnificent victory.
(Signed) E. G. WALL.
About 8 O'clock a. m. Chairman Wall,
of the Democratic state committee, sent
the foregoing dispatch. AT that hour
all doubt that Wisconsin is Demo-
cratic state had been removed. Re
turns from one-fourth of the towns in
the state showed that Cleveland and
Peck (governor) had carried the state by
a plurality of from 10000 to 10000
Both branches of the legislature are
Democratic and majority of the con-
gressional delegation.
Payne Comedies Defeat.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 9.-Henry @.
Q. Payne, ex-chairman of the Republi-
can state central committee, practically
comedies Wisconsin TO the Democrats.
In an interview he said that while the
returns were not complete chat if the
same average of Democratic gain is
maintained in the northern counties of
the state not yet heard from, Mr..
Spooner will unquestionably be de-
feated, together with the entire state
ticket. He admitted the victory fol
Cleveland in the national contest and
stated that if the policy outlined in the
Democratic platform were adhered TO-
in his opinion. it would be disastrous tc
the country.

The republicans have elected ev-

Martin for sheriff, who was defeated
by Costello by about ninety major

carried Hagan's own home precinct.
Donahoe is beaten in this county
by a few votes and will loose Latah,
so Hopper is elected. Pilling for
commissioner seems to have run be-
hind everywhere except at Hope
where his neighbors gave him 70
majority. We will give the COM
plete vote next week. There was
no trouble elsewhere in the county
in the voting.

New YORK, May 30.-A train of Is cars

SYRACUSE, May 30.-Crowds poured into
this city this afternoon and this evening to

other match ever excited an equal amount
of interest although little actual money
was wagered until the night of the contest
There were present dukes and earls and
marquises and baronets and non-titled
arist0crats in profusiOn. Colonel North,
Buffalo BIZ and Artist FurDiss were no.
tieed among the crowd. Out of regard for
the aristOcratic patrons fat has gone forth
that no names are to be mentioned.
The sports In attendance upon the fight,
while aDplauding JackSOn'S maGnanlmity in
not finishing off his opponent earlier, think
he would have been more humane had he
done so. Jackson Is not savage
fighter, and when, in the tenth
round, though blind and daZed, Sla-
win pluckily declined to lie down and
admit his defeat, but held up his CORY head
TO receive blow after blow, jackson. IN a
helpless, logged manner, stopped and
looked around, as much as to say, Have
not done enough?" His adherents warned
him TO continue his blows, and again they
were rsined upon the almost defenselesS
man. SlaVin swayed feeblv and stOod up
again, but finally, in response to terrific
blow, sank in a heap on the floor.
Lord LOnsdale's speech of introduction
was long, and was received with impatience.
Considering the public comments on prize
fighting, he begged the press to avoid using
any Objectionable word in the reports and
to describe the contest as really a box
ing match under recognized rules.
Presently loud shout announced
the entrance Of the combatants. Slavin's
expression was one of dogged confidence,
while JacksOn's was that Of man VINO did
not quite know what the result would be.
Both looked in the pink of condition. Iu the
opinion of the majority there was only one
man in It, and that was Slayn. They are
now left to ponder over the fact that il is
one thing to possess the power 10 hit as
hard as Slavin, but quite another thing to
get it home More than once Jaekson's
supporters fet spprehensive, while Slavin's
adheTents always expected great
punch from their faYOrite. which
never came. In fact Sayin did
not shine as a boxer. In the meantime
JacksOn's blows looked playful; but they
hurt. He cOuntered well and took all the
sting out of Slavin's tremendous lunges.
The wonderful part of it was Slavin's
stamina. The remark was often heard that
jackson was no finisheT, yet lie gradually
wore his opponent down, and when IL came
to the finish he gave Slayin one of the hand
soonest settlers" ever witnessed 30 the
finest match on record.
