A RIOT IN IRELAND.
Twcafy Five s.,inrcd During Poll
ticai Heteci

DUBLIN, June William Red
mond, Edward Harrington and
Henry Harrington were in the Tralle
this afternoon to address a large
nee ting of Parnellites. About 5000
persons were present. They re-
manned perfectly orderly until the
chairman prepared to introduce the
speakers, when it became apparent
that the meeting had been packed
with anti-Parnellites. There were
then loud shouts against Mr.. Har-
rington and Mr.. Redmond and cries
of traitor" blackguards" and II
lands enemies"
The Parnellites raised counter
shouts and began cheering for Par
nell. Two fights were started near the
platform, and one/of the disturbers
was knocked scnseless. This was
the signal for general row. Those
on the outstart pressed in toward
the platform to aid their friends,
until all were so tightly packed that
even the peaceably inclined ones
had to join the fight in self-defense.
A party of anti-Parnellites at
tackled the members with clubs and
knocked down five Of them, put the
rest to flight, captured all tue instru-
ments and stampoded them to pieces.
When, Mr.. Harrington stepped down
from the platform to help pecify
them he was struck on the shoulder
with a stone and received blow on
the back. lie hastily returned to
the platform.
After the fight had stopped an
extra force of constsbles arrived and
broke up the crowd, clubbing the
hostile parties apart and beating
the leaders into temporary submis-
sion. The wounded were then car
ried away and the meeting became
quiet. About twenty-five were
severely injured in the fight. The
police remained present throughout
the meeting to prevent the recur-
renee Of the disturbance.

The party that wins in the coming
Gght will require 223 ELECTORAL
votes, and it will be seen that, ac-
cording TO the above table the Re-
publicans lack only fifteen, while the
Democrats fail tifty~thrce short Of q
majority. To win the Democratic
party must carry New York, In
diana, Connecticut or Montana or
West Virginia, or virtually all the
doubtful states. GA the other hand
if the Republicans carry Indiana
they can spare all the other doubtful
states, aud still win. Then again
with Connecticut, West Virginia
and Montana they could afford to
lose both New York aud Indiana.
By a little calculating it viii be readily
seen that the chances favor the Re-
publican party no matter how the
figures be manipulated. To win the
Democratic party must hold all and
gain ALL Under the circumstances
ii is doubtful II tho Republican
party ever laced Il more q. raging

Now Fer the Other Ticket,

The excitement over the Minnea-
polls convention, and the nomina-
ton Of Harrison and Reid is not
yet over, but will hardly command
50 much of public attention during
the next two weeks as will the move
ments Of the army Of Democrats who
are heading for Chicago to name the
men who will do battle at the polls
next November with the present
President and the distinguished
New York editor What will the
Chicago convention bring fourth !?
That's the question now, and until
and a short time aftert is answered,
the attention of the American peo-
pie will he centred on the Democrats
who are going to Chicago to answer
it. just what the Chicago coHvcn-
tion will bring forth is one Of the
things that few, even among the
well informed leaders of Demo-
cracy, care TO predict. Cleveland
unquostionably has large majority
of the army of delegates ready to
vote and shout for him, and it is not
certain that the necessary two-thirds
Of the delegates to Chicago are not
of the opinion that he is the only
man TO nominate. Ordinarily Il
Democrat backed by such large
army of delegates would be sure OF
the nomination OF his party but the
nomination Of Grover Cleveland is
by no means a certainty, although il
seems highly probably that he will
for the third time head his
party IN the struggle for the Presi
Idcncy Tho danger to the Cleveland

EAGLES Mere real estate is rated
pretty high Judging from the bids at
the land sales, on Monday. When
county treasurer Wm. NJ urray struck
this list everybody seemed anxious
for chunk of dirt in that vicinity
and bids were numerous. An ordi-
nary lot over there, IS worth any
where from, four to eight hundred
dollars and our people, though not
extremely greedy, did not object to
paying the taxes and cost AMI u
trine bonus on the real estate adver
tised at the summer resort. Here
tofore our people have been quite
fortunate in catching the rustiCators
over there fast asleep and in con-
qence, have treasurer deeds for
several valuable lots in the centre of
their city. The list on Monday was
struck Of as follows: The Bartch
Amanda and The Saylor G. S. lots
were struck down to Russell Harms /;
the Bartch G.. w. to r. j. Thorn
son and the Gideon Hess to
DR.. Hill. They say that Doc. will
have to get ont a search warrant to
find his investment.

The Electoral Vote.

Now that another Presidential
campaign is about to begin, it is
natural that the eyes of the think
ing citizen should be directed to the
electoral vote and calculations made
rs the result i'll the several states.
In the Electoral College of 1883
there were 40l votes, of which the
Republicans received 233 and the
Democrats 16l. BY the new APP
portionment the states, which were
Republican in 1888 have 249 votes;
the states which were then Democra-
tic are entitle to l75 votes, and the
new states which have been admit
ted to the Union since the last Pres
idential campaign have 20 votes,
making total of 4i4 votes in the
whole Electoral College of 1892
The number necessary to elect is
223.
