The name Of Hon. John W. Dan

for the vacancy on the Supreme
Court Bench, caused by the death
Of Justice Jackson. A better man
could not be found for this posi-

along without him just at this
lime? We-think not.

Opposition has been means OF form

fixed characteristics, have reached their
present condition by opposition, and
contest. They acquired a prompt acute
temper, which even strong minds could
never have attained in the tame security
Of facile, friendly coincidence.
DEsERTIoN, ALSO STRANGE

character. Deprived Of social support,

which will appear like new fault, and
the most absolute inflexibility is likely

who Is obliged to deliberate without CON-

those who have rejected him or to forego

Mr. CIeyeland Smiles Quietly.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. = President
Cleveland is charging none of the re
suits of the election to his administra-
ton. On the contrary, he is taking a
quiet smile over certain features of
the returns. Senator German declares
that President Cleveland's personal
followers contributed to the success of
Lowndes. The administration Demo
Gratis appear to be willing to assume
the possibility as another achieve
ment for reform. There seems to be
no doubt that they expected and de-
sired the defeat of Germans ticket.
The president and every member of
his cabinet took deep interest in the
cause of Campbell in Ohio and ex-
pressed regret at his defeat. The
helpless condition presented by the
Kentucky Democracy is regarded as a
rebul1e to the free silver Democrats
and the president and Secretary Car
Isle have confidently expected the de-
feat of hardin and Blackburn, or their
elections by ajoritiess SO meager as to
amount practically to defeat.

NEW YORK, Nov. Later returns
from all sections of the state do not
lessen the extent of the Republican
victory in New York. The total vote,
unoficially compiled, gives Palmer,
the candidate for secretary OF state,
at the head of the Republican ticket,
a total of 2,525, while his Demo-
cratic opponent, King, polled sos, $50.
making the Republican plurality
66, a35.
While this is, of course, a falling off
from the phenomenal plurality of
1876, los given to Governor Morton last
year, it shows a large gain over Pal
mers plurality of 24,4s4 in 1898, the
last off year. Both branches of the
state legisla ture will be Republican
by majority of more than ? to l.
Although Tammany elected most of
the assem- blymen in the city, the seats
gained by the Republicans in the state
makes the total membership 1O2 Re
publicans and As Democrats, which
with the present complexion of the
senate gives q Republican majority of
A on joint ballot.
The TammanY victory in the city is
not generally changed by the COM
plete returns from the estimates of
last night. The head of the Tammany
ticket, Purroy, candidate for county
clerk, has a majority of 16,429. The
fusionists figure that Tammany's ma
jorlty was given by the stay homes,
and not by gains in votes.

SEALS ARE DOOMED.
Ultimate Destruction of Behring
Sea Herd Inevitable.
That is Unless Present Hunting
Methods Are Stopped.
ONLY A FEW ARE LEFT.
Prohibition of Sealing Will
Alone Save Them.
Probably Less than Half a Mil
lion Now.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Captain 81. L.
Hooper of the revenue cutter Rush, who
commanded the Behring sea feet last
season. is more than ever convinced Of
the ultimate destruction of the seal herd
if pelagio sealing in Behring sea is con-
tinued There can be no regulations
framed, he says, that will preserve the
herd if such sealing be permitted in the
future.
The most important of Captain Hoop
er's recommendations to the treasury de-
partment therefore will in all probabili-
ty be that all sealing in Behring sea be
prohibited for a time at least, except
that carried on at tho islands by the COM
pany having a contract with the govern
ment.
In 1869 when Capt. Hooy er first visit
ed Behring sea he says he believes there
were 100000 or 100000 seals, but now
the number is probably less than half
million. The regulations promul gate d
under the Paris tribunal of arbitration do
not, in the estimation o Captain Hoop
er, meet the requirements of the case for
the preservation of seal life
One of these regulations prohibits
sealing within sixty miles of the seal
islands. The fact is explained by Cap
tain Hooper that the greater number of
the female seals go out into the sea to a
distance far exceeding sixty miles,
where they are killed by the sealers.
At least $4,000 killed this year by the
pelagic sealers were females and the
records substantiate the statement The
regulation issued by the arbitration trib-
unal prohibiting the shooting of seals in
Behring sea and permitting the spearing
! of them outside the prohibited zone was
| beneficial in that nearly every seal that
was speared was caught, whereas in
shooting them they are in danger of ar
rest.
The regulation requiring the sealing
vessels to record each day the number
and sex of seals captured has demon
sirated. Capt. Hooper says, tho accuracy
of the contention of the American gov
eminent that the majority of seals killed
| by the pelagic sealers are females.
There were between fifty and sixty
vessels in the sealing fleet this year, most
of them British. and the patrol feet
made over 800 boardings TO ascertain if
the masters were obeying the law. Very
little Illicit sealing was reported by Cap
tain Hooper as having occurred during
the season and there were but four seiz-
ures.
The result of the pelagie sealing, about
$4,000 skins, shows a slight decrease
from last year, due to diminution OF the
herd The greater portion of this catch
wa~bv British vessels, they being manned
by expert Indian spear hunters. The
American vessels are manned by white
men who are not expert with the spear,

OMAHA. Neb., Nov. Returns from
the several counties in the State upon
the vote cast for judge of the Supreme
court are being received with unusual
slowness. The partial returns indi-
cate the election OF Judge Norval, Re-
publican, by safe plurality. Gov
ernor Holcomb and J. w. Edgerton,
chairman of the Populist State CEN
trial committee, assert that Judge
Maxwell has been elected, but neither
will make public the figures upon
which they base their assertions.
Notwithstanding these claims, the
best indications are that Norval is
elected by over 10000 The vote of

wing of the Democratic party is four
ffths of the entire party vote of the
State, probably rs, 600. This is very
surprising feature of the election.
The silver element of the Democratic
party is urging, with some justice and
much effect, that the entire machinery
of the Federal government in the
State was used to secure votes for
Mahoney, the administration can
didate.

Legislature assures Republican sue
cessor to United States Senator Black
burn
State Auditor Norman, the Demo

ment to the Commercial said that
Blackburn's defeat is assured.
- 1.-THE Republicans, with the help of
the Populists, will assuredly control

burn is sure to be defeated. Kentucky
is now a Republican state. The peo-
pie wanted a change and they took it,
the Repu blicans being aided by both
Populists and A. P AS. No one
could have carried Kentucky at this
election, not even Carlisle"
Colonel Bradley will be the choice
of his state for the vice presidency,
and his friends claim that he will
have the support of the Southern Re-
publicans. 1t is significant fact the
friends Of Governor Morton, as we'll
as the political champions of Governor
Mckinley, have all been in constant
correspondence with the friends of
Colonel Bradley, and have urged him
to push his claims for second place on
the ticket. Colonel Bradley has there
fore refused to discuss the matter, but
it is announced by Mr.. Walter For
roster, secretary of Colonel Bradley's
campaign committee, and managing
editor of the Commercial, the Repub-
lican organ of the state, that Colonel
Bradley's claims for national recog-
milton will be urged in the next ma
tional convention.
