LOCAL STOCK MARKET
Capital Traction ON Down Grade-Gas
Lost Good decentralization
Boom Collapsed.

There wasn't much OF a local market
today. And what there was would give
but little aid and comfort TO the bull
ish contingent Prices all around were
weak and the disposition to trade was
reduced to the smallest proportions.
Commission business was nil and the
professionals were not willing &c take
any extensive commitments on them
selves.

Capital Traction lost a point on sell

from New York were to the effect that
they were going begging there al ;.
Washington Gas failed to hold the high

Altogether the day was disappointing
to a degree and the bUlliSh element

Presidential Elections.

I'm every presidential election from

ehangeof 10000 or less votes from one
party ticket 10 the other might have
elected the defeated candidate. Even
In 1892 shift of less than 2SOOO
votes would have produced a similar
result.
The case of the disputed election OF
Hayes, when the electoral commits.
sion decided every point by vote OF
$ for Hayes to Z for for Tildon. IS
very simple. The electoral vote was
finally fixed at lSi for Hayes TO l75
for Tilden. Aside from the disputed
states Of South Carolina, Florida and
Louisiana, whose electoral votes We're
eventually counted for Hayes, a
change Of 53S votes would have given
Tilden Nevada's three votes. change
Of l,iO3 votes would have given Cali.

change of 1853 votes would have given

failure To lend him cordial support
.GarGold's majority over Hancock In
New York state was only 2l,O33, so

Connecticut. OF 3,322 in Indiana, OF
4,i35 In Maine and 336 in Oregon, or

have elected Hancock.
