After months of waiting the Democratic candidate for the vice presidency has at last given his letter of acceptance xeriaessee to tbe public. It isn't long, but long TeM«^. enough for what it containb, and will w. Virginia have no weigl tin deciding the contest.
Califoknia has 334,000 voters this year, which means that about 308,000 of them will go to the polls next Tuesday. The total vote in 1888 was 251,339, and Harrison's plurality was 7,087. with 8,704 scattering. At the last presidential election the Prohibition candidate received 5,7(5l votes.
Owino to a misunderstanding with a billy goat ex-Governor Ireland, of Texas, has been deprived tho pleasure of taking an acttvo part in tbe campaign down there. It didn't happen in a lodge room, but in a pasture at the governor's home. Prize ring rules didn't govern, but through the kindness of neighbors who interfered tbe governor hopes to be able to sit down in time to count the returns.'
A Gkohoxa paper is out with a presidential boom for Governor Flower, of New York, for 1896. Mr. Flower has been a very dark horse for the presidential nomination on several occasions, and he is doubtless still willing. But if be has any hopes it is too bad that they should be blasted for another campaign by some fool friend who insists upon springing his name on a long suffering public four years in advance of the time.
The low price of corn has caused the distillers of the couutry to take advantage of the situation by making large increases in their capacity. The whisky trust has not only increased its output iu Peoria, the greatest distilling point in the world, but has been putting others In operation which have been idle for some time. This trust business is a great thing for those who have had the good fortune to get iu on the ground floor.
An attorney from Washington, D. C., went to Ohio a few days to take testimony In an important suit pending at the capital. On the evening of his arrival he whiled away the time by smoking a dozen boxes of cigarettes, and was found dead In his bed next morning. This statement is not made In tho hope that it will decrease the sale or use of cigarottes, but merely to show that a formidable rival has entered the lists against the fool killer.
A cmnton county farmer named Airoa Halvolon went over to Lifayette the other day and made Purdue University a donation of $35,000, which will bo put into now and additional shops for the college. Had he been content lo leave the money by will doubtless some enterprising relative would have taken tho nmttorlnto court and proved that the testator was lusane. Heirs-at-law nowadays seem to consider that no sane man would do anything which would assist the cause of humanity.
The Indian Messiah is not meeting with much success in Idaho at this time. He has been sending his runners out among the Indians of that state urging them to inaugurate ghost dances and prepare for war iu tho spring. Word has been sent back to him that if ho sends any more of his followers among the Bannocks, at one time one of the most terrible tribes in the west, they will be killed, and that if he dares make his appearance among them he will be asssasslnated. It is to hoped that the Indian Messiah will continue his missionary work in Idaho, and that the Bannock Indians will carry oat their promises to him. The country can staud the loss of all the Messiah followers thoro are among the Indians.
The new United States cruiser Olym pla was launched at San Francisco to day, this being the fifth addition to the new navy built on the Pacific coast. On Monday the Cincinnati, another fine armored cruiser, will be launched from the Washington navy yard. In the matter of navy this country Is coming to the front rapidly, and will in a few years rank with the strong naval powers of Europe. It is true the government was very slow in making a start, bat now it hasall the latest improvements in naval architecture and armament from which to work, and the consequence is that the new ships are all the finest of their class in the world. Tbe United States should have the finest navy in tho world, and the indications are that soon will have iu

There are 444 votes in the electoral college and tbe successful candidate must receive not less than 223. If the figures given in the table can be relied upon New York and Indiana will settle the contest provided they oast their electoral vote for the same candidate, or if Harrison can carry Indiana, Wisconsin, the two Dakotas ana Montana be can be elected without New York or Connecticut. The table is capable of many constructions, however, and will keep the politicians guessing until next Tuesday night. The People's party seems to have gone glimmering, and if the signs of the times amount to anything it will cut no figure in the result. Theltidicationsare that on election day it will go to pieces and that its members generally will go back to the old parties to which they formerly belonged-
RAILWAY BUILDING THIS YEAR. It has been generally understood that this would be a dull year in railway building. Locomotive builders have complained of small orders, and the rolling mills have been giving more attention to the manufacture of structural iron than to rails. In spite of expectation, however, 2,600 miles of new track have already been laid upon 200separate lines in forty states and territories, and under prevailing conditions it is safe to say that tbe new addition to the completed railway mileage of the country will aggregate between four and five thousand miles, against 4,168 miles laid last year, so it jvill be seen that in spite of the depression which usually accomcompanies a presidential oompaign, the work has been eminently satisfactory.
In the matter of construction New York leads with 206 miles of new track, and Pennsylvania Is fourth with 132 miles, but on the whole the states and territories of the south and west lead. The new State of Washington leads with 572,187 miles, while MontahftGOhtrlbufces 127.3 Indian Territory, 114 Texas, 105 9 Minnesota, 91.27 Idaho, 82.7, and California, 78.22 miles to the new railway mileage of the country. Virginia is the lowest in the list, with only 3.6 miles, but this is offset by West Virginia, with 175.44 miles. Oregon is second lowest in the list, with 4 miles, and Alabama third, with 4 5 miles. The new Canadian railway for the first three-quarters of the year amounts to but 151 and the Mexican to but 256 miles of new track. It will be seen that this country still manages to lead the American procession In railway building as in all other matters, in spite of the.faot that it has been a moderate year In such work.
NEW YORK STATE.
The campaign is over, and the politi clan and people generally are awaiting the result of the ballot with more or le*s anxiety, just as their interests are involved. Naturally, all eyes are turned to New York, because both parties recognize the fact that it is next to an impossibility for either to win without it, and to a great extent New York city controls the vote of the commonwealth. They have a registry in New York, and the registration was completed last Saturday night. In the' city the total in is 809,830 against 286,642, in 1888, an increase of 23,188. In Brooklyn the total registration was 181,638, against 156,194 in 1S8S, an increase of 25,474. The Increase over 1888 in both cities Is 48,662, and the registration is the largest ever known, although it is claimed to fail something like 20,000 short of tbe Democratic estimate. Of course both parties claim the advantage of the increase—the Democrats because it is so large in their stronghold, and the Republicans because it is short of the Democratic estimate. But estimates do notsetUe elections, and polls of communities are very uncertain this year
In times when the Republican parly stood most In need of its vote New York was one of the Republican states and remained with that party until 1868, when it wheeled into the Democratic column, and has been giving its electoral vote

is largely in excess of that of any previous year, especially in New York City and Brooklyn, and 'both parties are claiming tbe advantage, each figuring on the result. ff^
Democrats figure Cleveland's plurality in New York City at 75,000, and at 18,000 In Kings county, including Brooklyn, which they claim will be swelled to 96,000 by the vote of the other lower counties, The Republicans say that Cleveland cannot reach Harlem bridge withmore than 85,000 majority, While Harrison's majority above that point will be at least 95,000, giving him a majority in the state of 10,000 votes. Tbe New York Sun, which is not an ardent admirer of the Democratic candidate, figures Cleveland's majority in the city at 72,000, and tbe estimates are all so nearly alike that neither party can have much confidence in the outcome.
It is generally conceded that to insure success the Democratic party must leave New York and Kings counties with not less tbap 90,000 majority. Four years ago Cleveland left those counties with 69,631 plurality and Harrison carried the state by 13,002 plurality. In 1884 Cleveland went to Harlem bridge with 58,793 plurality and carried the.state by 1,047, but in the northern counties that year the vote was nearly 100,000 short, mostly Republicans. Chairman Harrifcy asserts that If Harrison is in it in New. York he must shOw up with not lees than 100,000 plurality at Harlem bridge, and this his followers olaim they .can do. The administration should certainly have the best of it in the Empire state. There is no branch of industry in the country which is not in good condition and the farmers have bad immense crops for two years in succession. A change in administration usually unsettles business, and there are many who do not want to take any chances, being perlectly satis-, fied with the situation and willing to "let well enough alone." This is really the strongest argument in favor of Harrison's re-election and it may prove a potent one, especially in the money cener of the country.
Full election returns from all precincts of the city and county and from the country at large over a special wire at Sandison & Burns, 677 Main street. Will also receive money for betting and will sell pools. 75
BIG ELECTION BETS,
What They Indicate ancHhe Prqb'V able Result.
\h
iv-* "1 sVi 11 I $ Perhaps within tbe remembrance! pf the "oldest inhabitant" there has liefer been a political campaign with so' little evidence on the surface of tljp excitement usually created by a presidential eleotion. True, within the past few days has there been some some commotion suoh as the placing of bets on the probable tesult, which are used by the parti* sans of both sides as straws showing which way the political wind is blowing. These bets indicate as of old that Republicans are willing to wager their funds that Harrison will be re-elected, while the Democrats are equally ready to bet that their C&hdidate is going to duplicate his successful campaign of 1884, The matter of odds, majorities, etc., are simply side issues which a man's partisanship and judgment lead him into. The result of these bets is easily discovered, and that is, tbat some of the losers will come out short, and will be figuring on how to pull through the winter without unnecessary expenditures. Tbe Hunter Laundering and Dyeing^Company offer an easy solution to this question, and advise the parties in question—whoever they may be—to have last winter's suit and overcoat cleaned and dyed, anrl they will thus be enabled to enjoy all the pleasures of a new suit without the accompanying expense. They have met with great success in cleaning and dyeing Gentlemen's Garments, and in the way of repair work can accomplish great results at a moderate cost. Whether you area loser on the election or not, it will pay you to try their work.
In Ladies'Garments they are Still having a run on their Navy Blues, which have struck the popular fancy. Besides this, they have been turning out some attractive work in Garnets, Seal Browns and Golden Browns, which are sort to have a run. Their dry oleansing pro cess for ladies' garments is particularly recommended for oleaning and remov log dirt and grease without injury to texture, color or finish. Now that tbe ball and party season is at hand, it will prove popular in cleansing evening dresses that have been slightly soiled as it does not in the least aftecfc the colors.
If you are needing anything in the dyeing orcleaning line you will do yourself an injustice if yon do not give the Hunter Laundering and Dying Co. a call. •They will save you the trouble of carrying your goods around, for they call for and deliver their dye work, as they have always done with laundry work. 20 to 28 North Sixth street.

Thio ls the dictum of natui e. When people refuse to listen to her roice she sends the cholera or typhus fever or some other malady to teach them their duty. These dissas.es are the children of dirt. So is indigestion and dyspepsia. When the stomach and bowels are overloaded with undigested tood, sickness will follow unless this material be removed*, The best things in the world for this purpose are the Laxative Gum Drops. These act directly on the digestive organs, rousing to action arid thus enabling them to expel all morbid arid waste matter. As soon as this is done the digestion is assured and the patient is restored to health. When a powerful cathartic is taken, the reaction produces a worse state of constipation than there was at first, but with these Laxative Gum Drops the action is gentle and pleasant and when the desired result is produced the patient is fully restored to health. All traces of indigestion aie removed. Get them of any dealer.
