The Very Latest.

Indiana Safely Republican. What little doubt remained as to the result in Indiana was removed at three o’clock, this afternoon, by a telegram from State Supt. Lafollette, stating that the state has gone for Harrison oner that the entire Republican Stute ticket is elected. Harrison will have 233 electoral Voles, The next House is Republican by 17 majority. “Lcf'rr roll! Let’er RooElI! IET’ERRR ROOOOLL!II Blue’s majority for sheriff isooO.

Republicans say that if the Democrats had had one more Voorhees rally, with Bro. James at the head of the procession, that the majority would have been 100 larger. Cleveland will have no more pension vetoes to write after next Msh*ch,.and consequently can go .fishing every day in the year. Decoration Day and all. ■■■■■■■■■■■■"■■■■■■■■■■a Mr. V. Zimmerman is an undertaker, by vocation. He can now prepare his own political corpse for burial, and had better be quick about it, for it is very, very dead. Once more has a glorious Republican victory in Jasper county exemplified the wisdom of a brave, open, daylight campaign as against the methods of the still-hunt and the “fine-workers.” In J asper county the Democrats bent all their energies to the attempt to get votes away from Billy Owen. The result is that

Billy is 15 or 20 votes ahead of his ticket, ii. tho connty. ... ’ The new state of Dakota will add five or six electoral votes to the Buio~Ttupahlinan colamn, in 1892, and don't you forget it. "Two more Republican Senators and three or four Congressmen, from the* same state, is also an item worthy oT doiigfatulation. About the happiest and proudest' men in the epunty are the Barkley township Republicans. Their immense majority of 79, an increase of 77 oyer 1881 and of 75, over 1880 is the cause of their joy and pride. They earned their victory though, by long, Ualxl and faithful work. Mr. J no. W. Sickles, nominal editor of the Rensselae.r Democrat, has been absent from town for a month or more, excepting a visit of only a few hour.s duration, on the evening of the Voorhees rally. His absence made no perceptible difference in the appearance er the editorial the paper. In fact we violate no confidences nor divulge any very profound secret when we say that Mr. Sickles was never editor of the Democrat in any but a very limited, Pickwicklan sense.

Vast quantities of presidential and state'ticket stickers were sent out by the Democratic StateAjential Commmittee, and with them went a circular letter from Chairman Jewett, in which he stated that the committee expected that every Democrat in the state would succeed in inducing at least one Republican, Prohibitionist or Laborite to use the stickers on his ticket. The returns make it evh dent that at least a few of the faithful, some-how failed to comply with Ms, Jewett’s instructions. The election in Rensselaer Tuesday was animated but entirely orderly and peaceful. In fact does anyone remember any elections in strongly Republican comm uni ties, that were otherwise than orderly and peaceful? It is a noteworthy fact, showing the intense earnestness of the people in the great struggle just ended, that every legal voter in the township except two, came to the polls and voted Tuesday, and of these two, one was very sink, and could not be moved without great danger, and the other was out in the woods hunting woodchucks, and coukl not be found. ‘ Perhaps he was out of meataqditwasanother“ground hog” case. The Democrat claims that the cffer of ten dollars reward for the conviction of the person or persons who took the rope from the Democratic pole, was only a piece of bluff, holding that no crime was committed in taking the rope. The offer was made in good faith, and still holds good, although in one view of Bro. James’ statement that no punishable crime was committed, there is some force. If, as we firmly beliqye, the persons who put the rope up, or some one authorized by them, took it down, then perhaps the law can not reach them. But if some-daqauthorized person took the rope, whether Democrat or Republican, then it was a clear case of stealing, and as such can be punished.

The history of the Prohibition party is already written. Its tide is in the ebb and never will rise again. The attempt to found a party, not upon the temperance question, but upon a single view of the temperance question, is and must continue to be, a most ignominious failure, It is probable that the party organization will be kept up for a few campaigns longer, by a little band of impracticable zealots, and that the Democratic fine workers will still continue to use the organization as a weapon against the Republican party, but it has passed its best day, and the lingering death which has befallen the Greenback party, and every other political side-is-sue in this country, is now all that awaits the party of political prohibition.

PRESIDENT- ELECT BENJAMIN HARISON.

Benjamin Harrison is President Elect of these free and United States, and Heaven be praised. There is no doubt whatever, about the matter. His election is now conceded, by everyone. All the Republican papers of yesterday morning said he was elected, nearly all the Democratic said the. same, and the few that did not, admitted that he probably was. The Brooklyn Eagle, Democratic, of last evening, said Harrison would have 225 electoral to 176 for Cleveland.

VICE PRESIDENT-ELECT LEVI P. MORTON.

From the very first all the dispatches from New York have pointed to the certainty that the Republican majority in the state at large would overcome the Democratic majority in New York City and Brooklyn, and leave the state Republican, by a handsome plurality, and the completed count has verified this expectation. The very last Associated Press dispatch from New York, taken from the wires at 12 o’clock, last night, says: “New York.—The total vote of all counties in the state, including New York and Kings counties, show pluralities for Cleveland of 78,956, and pluralities for Harrison of 90,147, making Harrison’s net plurality in the state 11,191,” Eleven thousand is not such a very immense majority in New York, but it is large enough to *‘do the business” and is a great.deal larger than the pitiful eleven hundred by which Cleveland squeezed in, four years ago.

Connecticut is probably Repub< iican, by a small plurality, but Harrison is elected without it. Indiana is also very close. The very last dispatch received last night, after the returns.from about half the,precincts in the state dhad been received, stated that the Republican gains, so far, had wiped out all of Cleveland’s 5,500 majority of four years ago, except 398. If the rest of the state does as well, in proportion, Harrison wiH have the state by or 5,000 plurality. The samp dispatch also said that Mr. Shecfin, the secretary of the democratic national committee says that it looked like Gen. Harrison had carried the state but that it would require the official count to determine. All the states which have been reckoned as reliable Republican states, have gone for Harrison beyond a doubt. The complexion of the next Congress is still in doubt. The N. Y. Evening Post, yesterday, put the Senate 39 Repub’icans to 37 democrats and the House|l63|Republicau, to IGS Democratic. The 9 o’clock edition of the Indianapolis News, last evening, says it looks like Harrison had carried this state. -It also states that Connecticut is probably Democratic The Democrats no longer deny that New York is for Efarrison. The News ’also says that the next Congress will be Republican, by 12 to 25 majority. The dispatches of yesterday indicated that West Virginia,, was Republican. In any case, its legislature is Republican, and will elect a Republican Senator.-

STATE EEECTIOY ITEMS

, The Republican majority in Newton county is 432, a gain of nine. Jennings county gives 461 Republican majority, a gain of 193. Warren county’s Republican majority is 830, a gain of 111. In Pulaski county the Republicans have made a gain of 171 on th e Democratic majority. In Benton county the Republican majority is 200. Democratic gain of 83. Boone county is Republican, with a gain of 309. -- —Stark county is Democratic with only 74 majority. A Republican gain of 201. Fulton county, Democratic, with 117 majority. A Republican of 166. • ' White county is still in the gall of bitterness and the bonds of iniquity, by 200 majority. A democratic gain of 106. Over - 'm Jackson tp., Newton" county, the sly Democrats prevailed upon about 30 Ornish citizens to turn out and vote the democratic ticket, by stuffing them with the free whisky chestnut- In spite of this, however, the township came in with their,accustomed majority. The Ornish, by-the-way, very seldom vote, it being against their religious principles.

REMINGTON ITEMS.

Mrs. Forbes of Chicago, is with her son who is still quite sick, at the residence of John T. Ford. Mrs, Juliett White and daughter, Isabel, of Braceville 111., are the guests of Mr., Mrs. and Miss Nelson. • , Miss Anna Draper left on Saturday, to take charge of a school in Union township. Jacob Rich made a speech in the interests of prohibition, in Newton county, last Saturday night. About the best speeches of the campaign in this place were those given by Messrs. Alfred and S. P. Thompson at Republican headquarters last Saturday night. Even the Democrats must admit that Mr. and Mrs. Alfred; Thompson were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Mclntire. If the writer of these items had control of a Republican paper, the name of Mrs. Gougar should never appear in its columns. It is notoriety the woman seeks and and pants for, and it would be better to relegate such work as that to Democratic sheets. After a residence among us and a pastorate of more than fifteen years, Rev. J. B. Crowe will take his departure from Remington this week, for Witchita, Kansas. A large number of the friends of Mr. Crowe and his estimable wife, called at the parsonage Monday evening to wish them good-bye and God-speed.

"SHE" AND HER BABY.

How the Little Helpless Waif Gots Much Att ent I onHot weather is the season when the anxious young mother is full of details about the management of the baby, the teeth cutting, the diet, the air, the* oxer cise. It is then that the . erstwhile giddy young woman displays her latent womanJLy feeling-and-sbo ws how one touch- of nature makes the whole world kin,. Whatever summer resort the young mother contemplates it is the jYidtare of the baliy Uyit is the guiding, incentive and coijSltP citation. The intelligent young,mother acquaints herself with all the tore of infant nourishment, and prides herself on her knowledge of sanitation, and sometimes makes an especial boast that she eschews paregoric and that her baby sleeps without narcotics. While the society columns narrate the frolics and festivities in which the pleasure-seekers at fake, mountain, or sea forget thp beat and dust of the cities; the. ever new and ever qfd watch .and Ward of the young mothers, fashionable or unfashionable, goes on, and the ba&esare made secure as far as natural love can, guard them from harm. This does not’ hold a place in the society columns, but . without it society would indeed be a whited sepulchre. The young mother is more ‘ interesting and-attractive than thq. blooming damsel who is chiefly engrossed in herself. Maternity reveals woman to herself and to man.

j A Remarkable Darky. At Helena, Ark., there is a wonderful colored man named Mack Hamilton, who has been making a show of himself on the streets of that town. Some of his feats consist ofeating large quantities of porce--lain-and -glass without any deleterious cf sects. His appetite is always in good or der, and for a dime he will eat enough to convince the most skeptical that there k no trick about it. lie also drinks as much as a gallon of water at a time, and then with a motion of ■ ids right arm—such ;< motion as is given to the handle of apumj when pumping—the water comes out ol his mouth in a stream as clear as when first swallowed. He also is able to drink boiling water and eject it by means of this pump like process, and when it is emitted it" is hot enough to scald. lie swallows _ livc fTOgSTindTmall snakes, and by a sim pie motion of his arm they are forced out of his mouth.- He has drank a half-gallon of whisky without “cling the slightest in convenience. He has had some splendid offers from, different people to go in : show, but he prefers tp be his'own master. Tie has a dread that some doctor Will kill him for the purpose of making an exami nation of him. “Woodite,” a Valuable Material.' The material known as woodite, devised by Mrs. Wood, a clever Englishwoman, promises to become a very useful sub stance. Its chief ingredisnt is caoutchouc. During the past few months it has given good results fcr a variety of purposes, and is now declared to be especially ad'ained" to many other uses. According to tiSnEdward Reed, M. P., it has been preduced in boris for water-proof articles, dense blocks for resisting the blows of shot or shell, and very satisfactory rings for -engine packing. One process converts it into am elastic, sponge like substance; and another in which it is mixed with whalebone cuttings; gives it a rough or frictional Quulity for mats. Some curious naval applications have been worked out. It is made into armor-plates, which on being penetrated by a shot closes so tightly that no water is admitted, ami it is also formed into light and convenient cylinders for carryitigrcompressed air t o drive life boats, torpedo-boats and scout-boats, while it is, suitable for making floating or partly •'floating cables for protection against tor pedo attacks, etc. Wanted Two Millions. One of the girls in fashionable society in New York made up her mind to gel married the other day, and after confiding .her intention to her father, she said: “What doyou intend to do for me?” The father was a wealthy man, and thought that he was.showing a liberal spirit when he answered: “Well, I will give you SIOO,OOO to buy a house and $25,000 tb furnish U with.” “And what will you ’ give me to live on?” the young lady demanded, with a dissatisfied look on her face. “Oh.” I will allow you the interest on another $100,000,” replied, her father. “But my chef will cost $1,200 a year. How doyou think I can .possibly manage with so little?” The father looked slightly grieved, but only said; . “That must do while I am living; you will probably have more wheii lam gone,” The young man who was interested in hearing the result of this conversation lietwcen father nnd daughter said when lie heard it: ‘He might at least have given her two millions-”' -The marriage did not take place.

A Suspicious Character. Mrs. Snide—“ Who is that man who went away just now?" . Mr. Snide—“He Wants STO dhat I have been owing him for the lust two years?“ Mrs. Snide—“ That’s what I thought. He has a mean eye. and there is a hangdog, sneaky look about him. He made a bad impression’on me as soon as I saw him, the low-down scoundrel.”’’ A Dog Fishes a Child ftoiu a Well. The 4 year-old clrihl of William Wilson, living near Bakerstown, Butler county, fell into a well twenty feet deep. A box was fastened to a rope and a Newfounland doc put Into it and lowered into the water.

The Reason Why Ayers Pills are so popular is, that while always reliable as a cathartic medicine, they never leave -any ill effects. This is because they are purely vegetable, and entirely free from calomel or any other danger ou s d rug. In all cases, therefore, whether the patient be old or young, they may be confidently administered. In the Southern and Western States, where derangements of the liver are sq general, Ayer’s Pills have proved an inestimable blessing. D. W. Baine, New Berne, N. C., writes: v. I suffered a long time with stomach and liver troubles. I tried various remedies, but received no benefit until I commenced taking Ayer’s Pills. These pills benefited me at once. I took them regularly for a few months, and my health was completely restored.” - Throughout New England, next to lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel Complaints are the most prevalent. ■.-Dyspepsia and Constipation are almost universal. Mr. Gallacher, a practical chemist, of Roxbury, Mass., who was long troubled with Dyspepsia, writes: " A friend induced me to try Ayer’s Pills, and, after taking one box without much benefit, I was disposed to quit them; but he urged perseverance, ana, before I had finished the second box, I began to experience relief. I continued taking them, at intervals, until I had . used eleven boxes. Suffice it to say, that I am now a well man, and grateful to your chemistry, which outstrips mine." •■ ' The head and stomach are always in sympathy ; hence the cause of most of those distressing headaches, to which so many, especially women, are subject. Mrs. Harriet A. Marble, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., writes that for years she was a martyr to headache, and never found janything to give her more than temporary relief, until she began taking. Ayer’s Pills, since which she has been in the enjoyment of perfect health. • Ayer’s Pills, -* PREPARED BY "Dr. J. C» Ayer & Co., LoWell, Mass.
