When she exclaimed, "My goodness"
He explained his seeming rudeness:
He mIstook her for his sister, or at least
that's what he said.

Just u little dimple,
Just little curl,
Just smile-quite simple
That's what makes the girl.
Just some ducats yellow,
Just a few good clothes
That's what makes the fellow,
Everybody knows.
Just the luck to "get there"
Just to please her dad.
BOUNDS! An epithet there.
That's what makes me mad.

tions point to an unusually large vote. The
weather is clear and cool and all parts of
the State report an increased vote. 1t is re-
ported that the number OF defective ballots
in the city, owing to ignorance of the
Australian system. will reach 100, and if the
same proportion holds in the State IL is
likely to have quite large influence on the
result The chances are. however, that all
parties are equally affected. Nolwithstand-

apparently pleased with its workings.

BosroN, Mass, Nov. s.-A more glorious
day for the election throughout New Eng
land. so far as atmospheric conditions are
concerned, could not have been desired, and
the effect of the perfect weather and of the
soft, warm air of Indian summer made itself
manifest in the enormous votes rolled up.
In Massachusetts 1t is safe to say the vote
is the largest ever cast, and reports from
New Hampshire and Connecticut also indi-
cate large vote. The result of this will be
slow returns. The first twenty-five pre-
cincts of Boston show q ne. gain for Halle

pated by the campaign managers of any OF
the parties. Fully three-quarters of the
Democratic vote was thrown to the Weaver
electors, so that the direct vote for Harrison
cuts very little figure. Returns are coming
in very slowly, and largely indicate the
success Of the Weaver electors.
Fourteen precincts outside OF Omaha give

Returns from Illinois are still incomplete
at an early hour this morning. but tho indi-
cations point TO the CARRYING of the State by
Cleveland and Stevenson by plurality
from S00S to 10000. 1t also appears at this
hour that the entire Democratic State ticket
is elected and that the Dem ocrats have
majority of the Congressional delegation
and the control OF both branches of the
Legislature. In view of the fact that the
State is to be redistricted the coming winter
the election of Governor and both branches
Of the Legislature by the Democrats is of
the utmost Importance to that party. The
Republicans, however. insist that there is a
possibility of Republican supremacy in the
lower house of the General Assembly.
The Democratic victory is undoubtedly
due largely 10 the general detection of the
German Lutheran votes IRON the Repub-
iiean yarty on the School law question. Ii
is considered that the probable Democrats
have elected two Congressmen-at-large be-
sides Congressman in the Second, Third,
Fourth. Eighth. Ninth. Twelfth, Thirteenth,
Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth and
Nineteenth Districts. The Republicans
have apparently elected Congressman in the
First, Fifth, Sixth. Seventh and Twentieth
District.

Special to THE MORNING CALL

1t is always we'll, perhaps, and particu-
laTly so in politics. not to surrender anything
until it is known that everything is lost; but
from the tenor Of the returns received last
night there would seem to be little doubt of
the election of Grover Cleveland to the
Presidency. The Democrats have GER
tainly carried New York; Connecticut
has gone, and all precedent gives them
New Jersey, though the returns from that
State are meager. Cleveland has developed
wonderful strength in the West, too, coming
up fully to the worst fears of his opponents,
and the wonderful change in the vote of
Chicago and Cook County, with an accom-
panying falling off in the county districts,
has probably given him the great
State Of Illinois. Nebraska seems
TO have gone over altogether to the
POpulists, and the third party movement
has also been strong in the far Northwest
Kansas is uncertain. and though the Re-
publieans have broken the solid South by
tie capture Of Delaware, that seems to be
sbOutthe extent of the nroad. though there
is a fighting chance for West Virginia. For
the rest, the Republicans have held Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Indiana, and in the other
party strongholds the returns so far indi-
cate no material change. California Is
claimed by both parties, but is probably
slightly Republican.
