in Maple Hall, was presided over by

LITTLE TORPEDO.BOATS.
To BE Carried by the Battle. Ships
Maine and Texas.

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. - For the first
time the naval constructors have under
taken to build small torpedo-boats to be
carried on the decks of the Maine and the
Texas. Two of the boats are building at
the New York Navy-yard and two at the
Norfolk yard, and they are now nearly
completed. These little craft are maryels
of lightness and efficiency.
The problem presented to the construct
0rs was to secure this extreme lightness
combined with the stiffness and strength
necessary to Withstand the severe strains
of the powerful weight of the torpedo
tubes. This. it is believed, has been salts
faciorily solved. The skin of the boats is
built 3-32 of an inch thick, weighing 81
pounds per square foot. The Names
boats are little more than two tons dis
placement larger than the Texas boats,
and their length is 81 feet inches and 30
feet respectively. With one ton of coal
aboard, water in the boilers, the Names
boats, with displacement of nearly Is
tons, weigh but 1885 pounds. In the
interest of lightness and stability even the
shafts are but thin tubes, and the cranks
revolve below the floor plates.

Born In the State OF Vermont, prohibition
Vermont let me observe, the State whose Re-
pubicanism is most extreme and liberal in Its
character, lie afterward removed to New
Hampshire, and it is peculiar and significant
fact, not without special interest in this cam
paign, that all the while Mr.. Morton lived in
New Hampshire, and until as late as the year
1867, the constitution of that State was most
proscrlptiye in its terms and actually pro-
hibited any person mot OF the Protestant re-
llgion" from being Governor or any member Of
either House OF the Legislature. and its bill of
rights then provided, and still provides, that
only protestant teachers of piety, religion and
morality may be maintained at public eX-
pense of the respective towns of the State. 1t
is not impossible that the early narrow assOca-
tons of Vermont and the proscriptive senti-
ments OF New Hampshire which surrounded
Mr. Morton during his residence in those States
may have influenced his convictions upon Ger
tain public questions and led 10 his selection in
this peculiar crisis.
Everybody knows the real Republican candi-

 The dissatisfaction occasiOned by the count ln the third ward has not yet sub sided and to-day Attorney O'Neill was consulted as to advisability of petitioning the superior court for A new election. To a reporter of the DEMOCRAT MT O'Neill said:
 ''We have not yet looked thoroughly into the law but will do so. The law plainly says that the registrars shall ap- point two persons to have charge of the booth containing the envelopes; that all ballots cast not in conformity with to the provisions of tLis law shall be void and shall not be couLted. It is asserted that Mir Gregory one of the persons in charge of the envelope booth for nearly an hour on election day and that the ballots cast during this hour were therefore void. He was not ap- pointed to this position by the registrars. Another objection is: One of the counters, John D. Wells. while the count was going on. stuffed number of tickets in his pocket; that while these tickets were thus Tn his pocket the count was completed and Mnhaney was declared a winner: that a second count was then dem ,nded and while It was in progress all of H sud den Wells discovered that there were a number of ballots in his pocket which had not been counted: that on producing them every single one of them was a Greg Ory ballot. and of course they tipped the scae' the other way and it is alleged that if frepublicans of John D. Wells stripe should bring around n pocket full of ballots while the count is in progress and leave them counted in favor of their candidate the sooner this is ascertained the better.
