Democrats Get NOthing.-GOrman Ticket
Defeated in Maryland.-New York,
Ohio and New Jersey Republican.
The magnitude of the Republican
victory at the polls yesterday is told in
the very complete returns in the daily
papers this morning. 1t is a clean Re-
publican sweep from East to West. In
New York state the Republicans have
had another tidal wave vote, with
plurality running up toward 10000
The Legislatures over whelmingly Re
publican, and i'll the selection of local
officers in the cities and towns the Re
publlcans have very great advantage.
In Massachusetts, Greenhalge (Rep)
for Governor, has an estimated plural
lty of nearly 10000, gain of 5000 over
his plurality last year, when Massa-
chusetts assisted so literally i'll the Re
publican sweep.
New Jersey elects a Republican Gov
ernOr, the first in thirty years, and
Republican Legislature The majority
is not far from 10000.
Pennsylvania reports a Republican
majority of 170, 600 ON the State ticket
for State Treasurer. The Republicans
carry Philadelphia on county offices by
20, ,O0O
Maryland goes Republican by plu-
rality of about 10000. Baltimore is
Republican by probably 5000. The
Legislature is probably Republican on
joint ballot, insuring Republican sue
cessor to United States Senator Glib
son. Senator German loses his own
county, Howard, by more than 500.
Returns early this morning indicate
that Hardin, Dem, had been elected
Governor of Kentucky. The Demo-
Gratis claimed the State by 20, 600. The
Republicans claimed with equal fervor
that Bradley was elected Governor,
but refused to give any figures.
Bushnell, Rep, has carried Ohio by
more than $4,000 plurality. Gov. Nc
Kinley asserts that the figures will
reach 100000. McKinley's plurality
two years ago was 81 ,0C0. The Legis-
lature is overwhelmingly Republican,
thus ensuring the election of Repub-
lican to succeed Calvin S. Brice in the
Unit Il States Senate.
Mississippi elects Democratic Gov
ernOr by 40, 000 His only competitor
was Il Populist
Virginia elected only State Legis-
lature The indications are that the
Democrats will have their usual major
ity.
The Republicans elect their State
ticket i'll Iowa by about the same ma
iority as last year, when they carried
the State by 10000 majority. The Re
publican State Committee claims
$1,000 as the lowestplurality for Drake,
their candidate for Governor. The
Legislature will be overwhelmingly
Republican.
In Nebraska the election was for one
Justice of the Supreme Court and two
Regents of the State University The
indications are that the Republican
candidates We're successful by substan-
tial majorities.
Utah voted for Statehood,a "a congress
man, State officers, and Legislature
vile elect two United States Senators.
The returns are very meagre, but they
Indicate that Statehood has been car
ried. The result on Congressman,
State officers, and the Legislature can
not be estimated from the few scatter
ing returns received up to the time of
going to press.

THE AMERICAN NAVY

The rumOrs of wars that have invol-
we'd several countries of the old world,
more particularly Russia and England,
Of Europe, and Japan and China, of
Asia, to say nothing of Venezuela, our
neighbor of South America, and the
Island of Cuba, naturally directs the
attention of the American citizen to
his own nation and its readiness for
self-defence.
A writer who has been looking at
possibilities of foreign complications
and our preparedness to uphold the
dignity es sbe United States in a naval
conflict, says:
The North Atlantic is the heaviest
and best squadron of our navy. and
should it be sent to cruise in southern
waters, we .eonld show the people of
shat region some of the finest ships of
their class and some of the best arma-
ments possessed by any nation in the
world. OF course, we cannot vet COM
pare, in number of ships or weight of
metal with such fleets as those of Great
Britain or France, but, taken ship for
ship or gun for gun, there is not better
navy in the world than ours 1t may
be stated in a general way that the
United States has never possessed as
powerful navy as to-day, and the next

He has had some pleasant moments in those

But those happy days are over, they will never

"The flour it's not rising,o he is taking too much
of the grain;"
That's n"lhing new to the miller, but it always

the skies;

told too many lies.
But listen, here is Mr.. Farmer at the mller's

before.

SIX months will add immensely to its
lighting force. Of the first-class battle
ships, the Indiana, of 10,28S tons, is
now ready for sea. Her batteries are
the most powerful ever foated under
the American flag, and consist of four
l3-lnch and eight S-inch and four 6-inch
breech-lOading rifles, besides 26 rapid
fire and four machine guns. The Mas
sachusetts and the Oregon, of the same
displacement and battery power, will
be ready for acceptance within a few
months at most. The first-class battle
| ship Iowa, the largest yet designed for
our navy, will be ready for launching
before New Years day, but will not be
ready for service for probably twelve
months. The second-class battle ships,
Maine and Texas, are now in commits
sion and ready to go to sea. The
Maine is 6,682 tons displacement and
the Texas 6,3i5 tons. Their batteries
are very heavy, the Maine carrying
four 10-inch rifles and six 6-inch guns,
with full compliment of rapid fire and
machine guns. The Texas carries two
12-inch rifles and the equivalent of
rapid fire and machine guns. The
armOred cruiser New York, 5000 tons
displacement, is one of the finest ships
of her class afiOat. Her companion
ship, the Brooklyn, just launched, has
displacement of 9,271 tons, and will
carry a main battery of eight S-inch
rifles and twelve 5-inch rapid fire guns.
She will be ready for commission dur
ing 1896 Next in order comes the
port defense vessels. OF these there
are seven of the tIirreted Monitor type,
ranging from the Puritan of 6,060 tons,
to the MiantOnomOh, of 1880 TONS OF
the protected cruisers" there are 13,
ranging from the Minneapolis and
Columbia of 1875 tons, to the Boston
and Atlanta of 3,025. The Columbia
and Minneapolis are the swiftest ships
IN the navy, having made twenty-five
knots. The Olympia, now on the
China station, ranks next in speed,
with a record of 10 knots without forced
draught. OF the secOnd-class cruisers
there are three-the Detroit, Marble
head and the Montgomery. Their ton
age is :, ,074 each OF gunbOats, there
are six in service-the Bennington,
Concord, Yorktown, Castine, Machias
and Petrol. The Nashville and Viii
mington have just been launched and
the Helena will be within few weeks
Besides these there are one dynamite
gun vessel, the Dolphin, three torpedo
boats completed and three more under
construction.
1.-The Naval appropriation bill of
March last provided for two additional
battle ships of 10000 tons each, of
heaviest armor and most powerful
guns, and six light-draught gunboats
of about 1000 tons each This com
pletes the American navy, as now pro-
vided for, and by the end of 1896 we

A LElPSiC SHOOTING AFFAIR.
Deputy Constable kinnemOn, OF Deyer,
Shoots i Fleeing Fugitive.

| Deputy Constable kinnemOn, OF Deyer
Shoots Fleeing Fugitive.
Another case Of an officer shooting a
man while making an arrest occurred
Saturday, and the people of Lepsic are
yer much exercised over the affair.
Deputy Constable Walter S. Kinnamon
of Dover, went to Leipsic Saturday,
with Il warrant for the arrest Of Walter
| Potter, IA young white man, who is
| charged with larceny of n small boat
and some oysters belonging 60 Joseph
| Fox. Potter began to run when the
| Deputy Constable came in sight, and
the officer at once pulled out his pistol
and fired at the fleeing man. The bull
let took effect in Potter's left arm, lust
below the shoulder and of course was
very close to the region which would
have caused instant death. Potter
stopped and the deputy took him to
Dover, where he was arraigned before
Squire Jester, after his arm had been
dressed by DR. Frame. He was held
IN $500 bail to appear before the squire
Monday afternoon.
As Kinnamon is only deputy con-
stable many people i'll that section think
that he has overstepped his authority
and condemn him severely for the reck-
less use of his revolver.
Walter Potter, was given hearing
before Squire Jester. There being no
evidence to prove that he was the one
that destroyed the oyster boat or stole
the oysters, he was discharged. Potter
brought suit against Kinnamon before
Squire Dillon for assault with. intent
to commit murder. KinnamOn did not
appear at Leipsic but went before
Peter j.. Cooper, Dover, and gave $1,000
bail bond for his appearance at the next
term of court. Potter claims that he
was not trying to escape from Kinna-
mon, but quietly walking off, saying he
would get some one to go his bail and
they both would go to Dover with the
officer.

EDITOR Times:
Dear Sir: els it HOnest?'' I per
used the communications, and will saw
that the writer has patronized all the
grist mills within radius Of six miles
of Smyrna. 1 always weigh my grists
before and after taking. / find it in
variably the rule to give 3G pounds of
flour and $ of bran for 90 pounds of
wheat. In other words the miller gets
slightly over ! for making the flour. I
also find that the miller takes 1-G for
grinding corn either into meal or feed.
The worst experience ! have had has
been III taking wheat to mill to have it
ground into feed. As the millers ask
81. 20 per 100 for bran, middlings and
ship stuff and wheat only worth about
81 per 100 pounds. | thought it econ
omy to have wheat crushed for feed.
Consequently, takes bu. to get back
6 bushels, OF crushed cookie, screenings
and cheat from the smut machine with
some rotten corn thrown in. Hogs re
fuse to eat such millers' grinding.
