Faint the rainbow comes and goes
On sunny shower.

Beast to beast, and frog
To frog among the rushes;

Wake the rose to bushes.

Fast asleep and weary.

MUSE ENM
When I w as a Boy.

Eugene Field is to have a monument.
"The Eugene Field Monument Souvenir
Fund" has been started with headquarters IN
Chicago, 180 Monroe street, and handsome
illustrated volume Of the late poets verses
on childhood Is being prepared under the di-
rection Of Mrs. Field. One OF the poems
which will appear IL this collection ts the
following characteristic one; perhaps not so
we'll known as some others:]
Up In the attic where I slept
When I was boy, q little boy,
In through the lattice the moonbeam crept,
Bringing tide OF dreams that swept
Over the low, red trundle-bed,
Bathing the tangled curly head.
While moonbeams played at hlde-and-seeR
With the dimples on the sun-browned cheek
When was boy, little boy:
And, oh! the dreams-the dreamsI dreamed!
When Twas boy, little boy!
For the grace that through the latnce
streamed
Over my folded eyelids seemed
TO have the gift Of prophecy.
And to bring me glimpses OF times to be
When manhood's clarion seemed to call
All! that was the sweetest dream Of all,
When was boy, little boy!
I'd like to sleep where I used to sleep,
When was boy, little boy!
For In at the lattice the moon would peep,
Bringing her tide Of dreams to sweep
The crosses and griefs Of the years away
From the heart that Is weary and fainf 10"
day;
And those dreams should give me back again
A peace have never known since then
When was a boy, little boy!

INDIANA IN DOUBT.

Indianapolis, November .4,-At S
o'clock this evening Chairman Martin,
of the Democratic state committee,
claimed that it would require the Off
cial count to determine the result in In
diana. At that hour he had received
returns from 81 out Of 50 counties,
showing plurality for Mckinley of
SSH. These did not include Marion
county, which would increase McKin-
ley's plurality to about $4,000, Chair
man Martin. however, charges that, in
some counties Of the state, the Demo-
cratic and Populist votes We're not ag-
gregated, which, If true, would de-
crease McKinley's apparent plurality,
and FOR this reason he viii await the
official count, refusing in the meantime
to concede the state.
Eighty-one counties heard from at S
o'clock showed a Democratic loss over
1892 of 15.4i2 In some of the counties
still to be heard from the Democrats
expect considerable losses. Chairman
Gowdy. Of the Republican state COM
mittee claims that McKinley's plu-
rality in Indiana will not be less than
15,O ,OOO nor more than $4,000, The Re-
publican state ticket is also elected by
safe majority,
Chairman Martin. of the Democratic
state committee, has just received a
telegram from the Democratic chair
man of Marshall county saying that in
the estimates sent from that county
the Democrat-Populist vote was not
aggregated. which would make diff
ference in favor of the Democrats of
over S0O kilograms from other parts
of the state, Martin says, disclose a
similar condition. AS the Populist vote
in the state amounts to 10000. practi-
cally all of which the Democrats claim.
the future aggregation of the vote
would offset the plurality for Mckinley
many thousands. 1t viii be some time
before 1t can be determined whether
the vote has been aggregated, and
pending such knowledge the state will
be in doubt.

Two Prominent Populists Think He
May Yet Get Majority.

Washington. November 4.-Chairman
Butler. OF the Populist national COM
nittee, is not ready to concede the cleo
ton of Mckinley, but says:
Every report from the back districts
is in our favor, This especially is true
in South Dakota, which we have car
ried, and Kentucky, which looks more
favorable for Bryan by later returns.
our best districts are in the country
and we cannot tell how large our vote
will be until ii is all in"
Mr.. Edgerton said: I'VE have carried
every Southern state with the excep-
ton of West Virginia and Maryland,
and possibly Kentucky; also every state
west of the Missouri with the excep-
ton Of California, oregon and North
Dakota, and returns are being received
which indicate they may be placed in
the Bryan column. In the central West
reports are being received from Indiana
and Minnesota which may add them
to the Bryan vote and give him ma
jority We are making great gains in
congress and will have fifteen silver
men and twenty Populists in the house,
The Populists have elected state tick
cts in several Of the west and portion
Of the southern states"

WHEAT MARKET
VERY STRONG
Foreign Orders and the Results Of the
Election Send Prices Up.
AN ADVANCE OF TWO CENTS
Bulls Run the Days Transactions
Large Shipments to India Help
To Raise Prices.

Chicago, November 1.-Two factors
we're influential in causing the strength
with which wheat started. One was the
result OF the election, which was very
satisfactory to traders. but there was
much encouragement in the fact that
early Liverpool cables showed an ad-
vance there since Monday Of over 5
cents per bushel. Continental markets
were also higher. December, which
closed at rs cents on Monday after
noon, could not be bought at the start
for less than n cents, and sellers were
able to obtain TN cents in two or
three Instances. In I'VE minutes it was
down TO 75h, and in another twenty
minutes was bringing n "a. All out
side markets felt the enthusiasm OF the
moment and started of with an up
ward turn. Advance cables said Cali
fornia wheat had arrived at Calcutta
and added that 100000 bushels had
been taken at San Francisco for In
dian account.
But in advance Of selling. which
quickly assumed enormous proportions.

home long Monday. confident that cleo
tion returns would be satisfactory. sold

vance.

MIR JONES IS CONFIDENT.
He Still clings TO the Belief that Bryan
Has Been Elected.

Chicago. November 4.--Senator Jones
issued the following statement tonight:
II have counted from the beginning
as the states upon which we relied for
Mr. Bryan's election the Southern
states. with 1856 votes, and the states
west Of the Missouri, with 81, making
a total Of 227. have hoped that We
would carry Indiana, Michigan and
Minnesota. believe we carried every
Southern state except Maryland and
that we have carried all Of the Western
states heretofore counted on, which
leaves US. not counting Delaware,
which think we have carried. and on
which have not heretofore calculated.
229 votes. One vote we certainly have
in Delaware. and probably three. But
counting only one vote. which we have
beyond doubt. 1t leaves necessary to
choice fourteen votes. Either Michigan
or Indiana would give us these fourteen
votes. Reports received by US from
both these states are encouraging and
lead US to believe that both states are
close; that we have better chance to
win each and that We may probably
carry both.
There can scarcely be any doubt Of
our getting Indiana. Under these cir
cumstances II seems to me that we are
entirely justified in claiming the cleo
tIon Of Mr.. Bryan. which do, and l
believe the temper OF the people is
such that they will not allow their
choice to be defeated by tricks and
fraud.
Statements have been made again
and again in the city papers today that
have given up the contest and ad-
mitted that Mr.. Bryan is defeated
They indicate deliberate purpose on
the part Of the papers. as well as the
Republican managers, to create false
Impressions in the minds OF the people
and TO lead them to believe that Nc
Kinley's election is accomplished and
acquiesced in have not for mo-
ment accuiesced in Mr. Mckinley S
election and viii not until there is a
material change from existing condi-
tions, as / believe Indiana and prob
ably Michigan have voted for Mr.. Bry-
ap and IL either has he is elected"

ONE OF THEIR METHODS.

The circular letter given below sent
out through Clatsop county by the
Democratic committee. is only another
evidence Of the ridiculous methods re-
sorted TO TO influence voters by that
faction in clatsop county. Every in
telligent man knows that the scheme
against which local managers are warn
ed in this letter simply could not have
been accomplished under any circum-
stances. For one thing. in order to
steal the ballot boxes, every tally sheet
would have had TO be changed. as well
as the duplicate tally-sheet furnished
the Judge OF the opposite party. The
county clerk and judges OF election
also have a number OF checks upon
the handling Of ballot boxes and re-
turns which would prevent the accom-
plishment of any such design as is sug-
gested in the letter. which follows:
Astoria, Or. Oct. 2S. 1896
Dear sir: The state campaign com
mittee has additional information as to
the purpose Of the McKinleyites to
tamper with the ballot boxes after the
polls close. Our informant says: IL
am credibly informed there is a scheme
on foot, whereby the Republicans in
tend TO steal the ballot boxes in as
many precincts as possible in several
counties of the state, substituting
therefor prepared boxes. The plan is
to obtain ballots from the clerk where
this can be done. or from the printer
where the clerk cannot be worked and
to have a box prepared just like the
box furnished by the county clerk and
after the vote is cast TO substitute the
prepared box for the legal one. and
have therein the same number Of bal
lots properly numbered with a large
majority of them marked for the Nc
Kinley electors. l have been informed
that one ]. f. Yates, Of Corvallis, and
Mr.. Clever, of Portland. had cOnver-
sation to this effect, in which conver-
sation Yates promised Clever that ne
would give him three or maybe four pre-
cincts in this county in this way. Gle
yer informed Yates in this converse
tion. that the state was gone il this
could not be done, etc.
We write again to impress you with
the Importance Of thwarting this
scheme, and suggest that you comnuri-
cate this information to all of the
challengers and watchers in every pre-
cinct in your county, instructing them
to be especially watchful, after the
polls close, never at any time permit
the legal ballot boxes for single mo-
ment TO pass out from under their eyes.
In this connection it is of paramount
importance that guards be provided to
watch every ballot box in the county
from the time the polls are closed until
the official count is had by the legal
officers of the county seat. While the
ballot boxes are on deposit with the
county clerk they must he guarded
with absolute vigilance, for the chances
are that exchange of ballot boxes will
be undertaken while in transit from the
precincts to the county seat of the
county or while on deposit With the
county clerk. This has been done in a
number of counties in the past two or
three elections and should be guarded
against now by absolute vigilance on
our part. Yours truly
YOUNG,
MILLER,
DRAKE.

his opponent and the official count Will
be necessary 10 decide between them.
The state az large is claimed by both
parties and because OF the length Of
the ticket returns are coming in 80
slowly that neither side seems entirely
Justified In claiming the electoral vote
with any confidence.
North Carolina Il claimed by both
parties, but. as in Tennessee. the re-
turns are very slow and no definite
conclusion Is possible at present
South Carolina. Mississippi Alabama,
Louisiana and Florida are all for Bry-
an by about normal Democratic ma
joritles
The Virginia electors viii without a
question be for Bryan, but they have
been elected by heavily reduced Dem
ocratic vote.
The Republicans have abandoned all
hope Of Texas and the state is conceds
cd 10 Bryan. Fusion between the Popu-
lists and Republicans In that state did
not prove a success.
Nebraska has gone for Bryan, not
wlthstanding Republican claims 10 the
contrary, but Kansas. as yet has said
practically nothing. The returns show
Democratic gains in some districts and
these are Offset by Republican gains
in other parts Of the state. Both par
ties claim the state. but the few scat
tering reurns that are in so far are OF
so indefinite a nature as TO make any
claims no matter by whom made. OF
very uncertain character.
Wisconsin Is sure for the Republican
column by on enormous plurality.
Minnesota, which was regarded as
doubtful by both parties. has surprised
everybody by the size Of the Republi-
can plurality and Mckinley will have
approximately $4,000 10 10000 more
votes In the state than Bryan. Cover
nor Clough. whose election was con
sidered doubtful. Is certainly elected.
The latest information from the two
Daxotas show that North Dakota n
very sure for Mckinley and the proba
bllity is that South Dakota will b
found in the same column, although tbs
resul, is close The Republicans CLAIM
Wyoming and Washington, but th'
probabilities seem against them in botl
states.
Colorado has. as was expected. giveI
Bryan a heavy plurality and Adams
4 without doubt. has been eiected gov
emor. Interest in the election in thii
state centered In the state tickets, o.
which there were several. presenting
great variety Of interests.
/ Idaho. Montana. Utah and Nevada
have all gone for Bryan by heavy ma.
jorlties.
California has, on the strength Of the
returns at hand, undoubtedly gone for
Mckinley.
Delaware. where the Republican par
ty has been rent in twain because OF
the Addloks-Hlggins fight, has kept in
the Republican column. The vote for
the Republican electors in this state
has been unusually large, showing that
the factional dispute did not extend
in any great measure to the national
ticket,
The vote of Maryland has shown an
interesting reversal from that of the
last presidential election. Cleveland
carried the state by plurality of 2i.13C
and this year Mckinley has a plurality
of slightly over 2l.OOO in the city of Bal
| timore alone.
