DEMOCRATIC OPINIONS.
Thinks Cleveland the Only Presidential
Timber in the Party.

"
Washington, November 7.-President
Proctor, of the Civil Service Commits
sion, interviewed on the subject of elect
ticn said: Had the party followed Presi-
dent Cleveland, it would have been vic
torious."
Commissioner of Patents Seymour of
Connecticut, said: "This defeat will
lead to very careful study of the caus-
es therefor, and will result in again pre-
senting the question of tariff reform to
the people in 1885, IT the temporary de-
feat in 1888 led to more radical reforms,
so will this, and it is not by any means
to be regarded as permanent conquest
by the Republican party"
A Cabinet officer said: who else but
Cleveland looms up today in the party
who can lead with any show of success!
He is stronger today than ever. Nal
contents must come to him. l do not
believe he wants the nomination in 1896.

Fusionists Claim North Carolina
Raleigh, N. c., November 1.-THE returns
of the election come in slowly. 1t is the
belief that the actual result will not really
be known until the official canvass tomor-
row. The Fusionists claim the Democrats
lose all the Congressman. and the Fusion
state ticket is oerta inly elected. The Demo-
Gratis are enabled to say pretty positively
that they have elected Shaw, DEM, in the
third district; Lockhart, DEM, in the sixth.
They appear to concede the election of
Settle, Rep. in the fifth, and declare the
outlook good for the election of Woodward,
DEM, in the second. They acknowledge all
other districts are doubtful. The state and
legislative ticket appears very close.
The Result in Tennessee.

Democrat, is leading Mccall, Republican,
by small majority. Indications are
favorable to Mccall. The Democrats will
have safe majority in the legislature and

assured. The Republicans cl,im that Evans
will have plurality of about 5000.

suit is, the Democrats have but one of the

lonely Democrat is Erdman OF the ninth
district, reelected by majority of.,2350. His
majority in 1892 was 10 95s. In the last
House the Democrats had ten members
from Pennsylvania.
Not Democrat in Sight.
Detroit, Mich, November 1.-THE legis-
lature will be composed entirely of Re-
publicans. The Repu blican state central
committee has received full returns from
every representative and senatorial dis
trict, and announce positively that Re
publlcans have been elected in every dis
trict. The result is entirely unexpected.
The pluralities in all the congressional
districts are piling up, and the smallest
majorities received by Repu blican cam
didate will be 3U00.

Biddeford, November 7.-There is liza
BILE to be a surprise in GA r. circles.
Sheridan Post of this city is ccntemp-
latiDg giving an entertainment similar, to
that now being given by Bosworth Post
of Portland, and last night sent in DEL
egation to visit the play and witness the
work of the principal, Mr.. Collins. They
duly arrived, and called at Bosworth
Post headquarters, but, as they ex-
pressed it, felt as if they had struck
the Arctic regions" so chilly was their
reception. No attention was offered
them, and neither were they invited to
the entertainment, although accredited
representatives of the Post They finally
went to the hail and found n place to
witness the performance. They came
home on the freight, and reported their
reception at once to the Post, where a
campfire was being held. Considerable
feeling was aroused thereby, sand as n
result OF this it is said Sheridan Post
will work to defeat Bosworth's candi-
date for department. commander in tac
coming election.

THE WOOL MARKET.
More Activity Noticed in Domestic
FIeeces.
USERS ARE BUYING ONLY. WHAT
THEY NEED.

Large Line Has Been Received From
ample of What Can be Done in the
Northwest.
Boston, November 1.-THE American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-
morrow of the wool trade:
The market on the whole has been
somewhat more active than it was la
week ago; this has certainly been the
situation in domestic fleeces, of which
upwards of 100000 pounds have. been
taken, and territorial woods have moved
fairly we'll at current prices, about half a
million pounds have been disposed Of
Otherwise there has been a little trade
OF all kinds-scoured. pulled domestic
and foreign) Likewise a fair volume of
business in Australian wool.
No speculative feeling is manifest on
the part OF buyers, users are taking
what they need; prices are low. Comb
ers evidently want good deal of stock
and are securing it as they have use for
1t. Man ufacturers in general are very
busy, some running overtime, and are
for the most part converting more wool
into goods than in orduiary times. Il.
The sales of the week amounted to
I,452, 5u0 pounds of domestic and 915, 900
ounds of foreign, making total of
3b7, 500 pounds, against total of 2,292,
600 for the previous week, and e total of
2,475, 500 pounds for the corresponding
week last year. Th sails since January /,
SS4, amount to 125, ,094.085 pounds
against 101, 141, 800 pounds year ago.
The sales in New York amount to 1884,
500.
In Philadelphia they aggregate 609,-
200.
Very rarely, if ever, has here been SO
large a lot of wool exhibited in one open
pile in Boston as it has been our privi-
lege to examine this week in the ware
house OF Messrs. Denny, Rice q Co., in
Boston. Certainly it may be truthfully
said that never has a line of Oregon wool
OF such magnitude been on sale in any
one exhibit 'befole, and this great guam
tiy OF wool-nearly three-quarters of
1000, 600 pounds-arranged and displayed
upon a single floor of warehouse de-
signed xclusiveiy for wool, constitutes a
sight which probably could not be wit
messed in any city OF the United States
except Boston.
This wool is most remarkable for its
superior condition, its length of staple
and strength of fibre. and is an example
of what may be done under proper and
| favoring conditions in our great sister
! state of the northwest. Much of it is
| coinbing wool, not to be surpassed by
the best grown Australian.

There is a large stock
to choose from here, a
