in which they will vote are as follows Ala
bama will elect fill state ticket in August;
Vermont, Arkansa. and Maine will vote for
Governor September l, Z and IA, respectively
Florida and Georgia vote for Governor in
October, and Their there will be lull until
November. There seems to be no doubt that
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia and Florida will
90 Democratic, while it is equally safe to pre-
dict that Vermont and Maine will go Repub-
lican, probably by increased majorities. Lon
isiana, Rhode Island aud Oregon have already
held elections this year. Louisiana went
Democratic by decreased majority; Rhode
Island increased its republican majority, while
the vote on the congressional ticketin Oregon
was very close, the two republicans getting
the returns by an aggregate plurality Of only
six or seven hundred. At the November
election, besides the presidential electors,
Governors will be chosen in the following
States Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware,

sets, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Missouri,

PROPHETIC
Was the Speech of the Late James
G. Blaine on Silver.

[James G. Blaine, in the United States Senate, IssOl
81 believe the struggle now going on in
this country and in other countries for single
gold standard would, if successful, produce
widespread disaster in and throughout the
commercial world The destruction of silver
as money, and establishing gold as the sole
unit of value, must have Il rninous effect on
all forms of property except those investments
which yield fixed return in money. Those
would be enormously enchanced in value, and
would gain disproportionate and unfair ad
vantage over every other species of property.
If, as the most reliable statistics affirm, there
are nearly $1,000, 600, 900 of coin or bullion
in the world, very equally divided between
gold and silver, it is impossible to strike silver
out OF existence as money without results that
will prove distressing to millions, and utterly
disastrous to tens of thousands.
81 believe gold and silver coin to be the
money Of the constitution; indeed, the money
of the American people anterior to the con-
stitution, which the great organic law recog-
nized as quite independent Of its own exis-
tence. No power was conferred ON Congress
to declare either metal should not be money.
Congress has, therefore, in my judgment, no
power TO demonetize either If, therefore,
silver has been demonetized, | am in favor of
remonetizing it. its coinage has been pro-
hibited, am in favor of ordering it to be re-
snmed. l am in favor of having It enlarged.

GOOD MORNING.

Thomas 4. Ober, In Philadelphia Leciger.
The sun has swept away the night,
And all the eastern sky-aglow
With golden clouds and rosy light
Says3o the waking world below,
Good morning.
Above the branching sunlit trees
The curling smoke wreath floats afar
Before dissolving in the breeze.
And sig1sls to the last dim star.
Good morning.
The buttercups and daisies fair,
That nod and whisper In the breeze,
Repeat the salutatlon there
And murmur to their friends. the bees,
Good morning.
The song bird singing in-the grove
Has tuned his voice his mate 10 greet
And, waking her with thoughts of love,
Sings tenderly, in wood notes sweet,
Good morning.
The modest wild rose of the vale,
Its face turned up toward the sky,
Sends perfume on the summer gale,
And breathes to all with fragrant sigh.
Good morning.
Across the mead from iow'r to iow'r
The butterfly. in colors rare,
Fits on, unmindful of the hour,
And says, with most coquettish air,
Good morning.
And 20 from meadow and from hill,
From passing breeze and glancing nay.
From messy glade and ripping rill.
Comes borne to me a bright and gay
Good morning.
