Nearly All Republican.

%, 900; Maryland's 1900; New jerseys
10, 900: Massachusetts, 5000; Iowa's
5000; Kansas 10000; Nebraska 1900.
Mississippi is Democratic as usual.
PENNsY1vAE1A-The Republican state
ticket is elected by an average majority
of about 10000. The Republican
majority in the city and county OF
Philadelphia is about 10000. Peter
Smith, the Lackawanna county Demo
cratic candidate is the seventh Superior
Court Judge.
New YoRK-State elected the Repub-
hcan ticket by plurality of about co.
900, and the next Legislature will be
strongly Republican. Tammany captured
the city, however, by plurallties ranging
from II 900 to $1,000.
OH1o-Returns Republican majority
of about 1oo, 900, and Gen. Bushnell was
flooded with congratulating kilograms,

Presidential boom.
Maryland-Tuesday was bad day for
German, the Democratic Quay of Mary
land" The combine of Republicans
and independent Democrats downed his
state ticket by 700, and even Baltimore
went Republican.
KENTUcKY-Both parties were CLAIM

Tie Local Elections.
For an off-year Butler county gives the
Republican ticket a splendid majority
about 800 and Butler borough 81. The
election passed off quietly all over the
county, and the returns are all IN the
Court House but, as usual, in few cases
both returns are sealed, and therefore we
cannot give complete table this week.
Quite number of Republicans gathered
in Shaffers Hall, Tuesday night, and
greeted the telegraphic returns uproarious-
ly, When the news came that the Re
publicans had carried Baltimore, one
enthusiastic mai sang solo--Maryland,
NV Maryland. The election IN tdat
state was of peculiar interest to Penn
sylvania Republicans on account OF the
assertion of the chairman OF the Mary
land Republican State Committee, that
Quay was helping his personal friend
German by sending 'rePeaters" from
Philadelphia to Baltimore in his interest
Christleys majority over Cummings
in the county is about 1900 and IN the
town I34. He ran about 300 ahead OF
his ticket in the county and AZ in the

The plurality on the state ticket is
about 1900, which, considering that but
little over halt the vote was polIeui Il ie
III aIkable.

IT is an unfortunate truth that the
majority of men have no opinions Oh
their own-no real convictions. They
are as clay in the hands of the potter
for men of real force of will. They be-
lieve one thing to-day and another to-
morrow. and the next day conclude that
their conclusions of yesterday were
about right. Society is servile from lack
of will. and therefore the world needs
apostles and religions. A man may DC
good and wise, but possessing no Will
his goodness dies in wishes, ana MS

That the average farmers life is not

held by the farmer over any other

independence. With his comfortable

Shippers should see that the coops
are in good condition before using, SO
that they are not liable to come apart
while in transit, as they are roughly
handled sometimes The coops should
be high enough to allow whatever
kind Of poultry is shipped room to
stand up. Low coops should not be
used. it not alone being cruel, but a
great deal of poultry is lost every year
by suffocation. Coops should not be
overcrowded. In shipping hens and
roosters they should be kept separate.
Nothing depreciates the value of a fine
coop of hens as much as to have a
number of old cocks among them.
Shippers often wonder why they don't
get the highest market price for their

hogs on clover pasture in summer. He
surprised the convention by asserting
that more pounds Of pork can be made
from one acre of clover than from an
acre Of corn. The proof he submitted
In support of this statement was as
follows: Fifty bushels Of shelled
corn would be fully an average
yield per acre. and twelve pounds oi
pork for a bushel Of corn (fifty-six
pounds) would be fully up to the aver.
age. That would give six hundred
pounds for the acre of corn. An acre
