Columbus, Nov. 6.-The Republican
state committee claim that the plurality
of General Bushnell will exceed that of
so, 600 for Governor Mckinley IN 1898,
with which years vote they are compar-
ing returns. There are some at their head
quarters who say that complete returns
will show q Republican plurality almost
equal to that of last year, 137,0 600, the
high water mark. The Republican state
committee saw fit to make conservative
statement to those wanting to bet on over
100, 600.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 6.-Returns from
various parts Of the western reserve report
Republican gains almost uniformly. The
vote was everywhere light but the fall
ing off was largest in the Democratic vote.
There was no special effort apparently to
defeat Republican candidates for the leg
islature, and they win in all the counties
that go Republican for the head Of the
ticket

KANSAS.

Topeka, Nov. 6.-There was a very
light vote polled in Kansas, probably not
to exceed $40, 600, or go, 600 less than last
year. Little interest was taken in the
contest for chief justice. David Martin,
Rep, was generally considered a sure
winner, but the returns from the few pre-
cincts heard from indicate that the vote
for Charles X. Holiday, independent free
silver candidate, will be much larger than
be reduced to 90, 600.

A Right of Way Granted Through strouds-
burgh-Bright Prospects.
The Stroudsburgh Daily Times OF
Nov. 1st says that what cost the
Friedberger Delaware Valley Elec-
tric Railway Company great deal
Of time and trouble solely through
their own behavior, was given the
new Delaware Valley railway in an
hour or so Thursday evening, and
that was an ordinance for Il right of
way through East Stroudsburgh.
At a meeting of borough council
there was present, representing the
railroad, President j. II. Shull, Di-
rector Coolbaugh and Attorney A,
Mitchell Palmer. They stated that
il was the intention of the company
to sell to parties who viii build the
road and already the company had
assurance that if right of way was
gwen men having capital would be
willing to advance money to build
the road, and if they did not get the
right of way they could not get the
the money. They said it was very
necessary to have the right of way
in order to raise capital, They were
az work getting the right of way to
Eushkill and would probably sue
oeed.
The council, by unanimous vote,
gave the required right of way
through Stroudsburgh. The pros
poets of Delaware Valley railroad
are now brighter than ever.

MATTERS IN MONTAGUE.
Newsy Letter from Our 0ver-the-
River Correspondent,


Notes and Brief Items of Interest.
MONTAGUE, Nov. ). - Election
passed off very quietly in Montague.
One of the things noticed was the
absence of intoxicated men. This
speaks well for the proprietor of the
hotel and shows he is not violating
the election law.
There were two candidates to be
elected, a governor and member of
assembly The following is the re-
suit of the election in Montague
For Governor - Griggs, Rep. 80 ;
Mctiill, Dem. "a.
For Member Of Assembly-Cour-
sen, Rep. 95 Vansicl,le, Dem. 81.
One of the benefits of the Repub-
lican legislature was noticeable in
the election board. Heretofore the
board consisted Of six officers, two
clerks and four inspectors at a sal
ary Of So per day each. The last
legislature reduced the board TO
four, two clerks and two inspectors.
As there are several hundred poll
ing places in the state, election ex-
penses viii be materially reduced.
At the last meeting of the Board
of Education, Nov. ?, the contract
for furnishing the schools of Monta-
que with coal was given to Charles
E. North, he being the lowest bid
der.
In riding through Montague we
We're surprised at the good condition
and appearance of the school houses.
There are four schools in the town
ship and it would be hard to find a
district with better arranged or
neater looking school buildings.

doing their duty.
The stone work for the new iron
bridge in the Glove near Tappan-
town is completed, If the rest of
the bridge is built as substantially
as the foundation there is no reason
why Gabriel can't crossed it when
he and his trumpet make their ap-
pearance.
The young people Of Montague are
making preparations for a church
entertainment. This is to be given
in the Reformed church in connec-
ton with supper some time next
month.

building his house, and Judging
from the plans, he will have when
completed, one of the neatest farm
houses in that section.

EDUCATIONAL.
A Hint to DirectoIs of Public Schools as to
What Should BE.

what Should he.
Mr.. EDIToR-The best advantages
in the United States are afforded
in higher education in Pennsylvania
by its system of public schools. No
state excels its normal schools. We
have excellent colleges and the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania is of fore
most rank. But our schools which
prepare for college are behind
nearly all the other states. Penn
sylvania needs to-day a good sys-
tenn of academies and seminaries to
prepare young men and women for
college Our local authorities should
take notice that the opportunity to
exert an influence upon the second
airy education is open for their con-
sideration. No young man or wo-
man in this age should be compelled
to leave his native town when there
are in it nearly one thousand in
habitants to prepare for college.
