We go to press too early to give any
definite results. Nevada is claimed by
both parties, fn Louisiana tlie Dem
ocrats claim the election by from 3.000
tn 5,000, while the Republicans claim
it by 10.000. New Orleans has gone
Conservative by probably 13,000. In
the State the Conservatives claim four
Congressmen, but the Republicans do
not admit the loss of but one. The
C-onservatives claim 10 of the IS State
Senators, and at least CO members of
the House, they electing 23 members
in New Orleans alone. In a row at
the polls in New York. John Mc
Kenna, a partisan -of Coroner Croker.
was shot and killed by the friends of
.lames O'Brien. Croker was a Tam
many leader, and O'Brien an outside
candidate for Congress, endorsed by
the Republicans. Democrats claim
that the elections give them a majority
of the members in Congress, and we
should not be surprised if it should so
turn out.

quired of each bidder, as a guarantee
ot the fulfillment of the contract should j
it lie accepted.

and thirty-three seconds, and up to j
last accounts, with marked beneficial
effects.
Prominent business men of Port- j
land have tiled articles incorporating

ance, and we predict will he a success j
from the start.

Election Sews.
In Michigan the new Constitution
and the Woman Suffrage amendment
are overwhelmingly defeated. The
Democrats claim two Congressmen
the balance are Republican. The
Democrats possibly have a majority
of the Legislature.
Pennsylvania State ticket is claimed
for the Republicans by 15,000. Dem
ocrats claim 12 of the 27 Congressmen.
Rhode Island sends Ames and Ballon,
Republicans, to Congress.
The Democrats get away with the
six Congressmen in Texas.
Indications are that the ten Con

crats. Vermont elects Denison over Poland
to Congress by a large majority.

six Congressmen, leaving two for the
Democrats, and a majority of 20 in the
Legislature.
In Minnesota the Republicans claim
the Legislature.
In Missouri and Kansas returns too
meagre to give results.
New Jersey elects a Democratic
Governor, and four Democrats to three
Republicans to Congress. No change
in State Senate, but the House is over
whelmingly Democratic.

ocratic Governors. There is a clean
sweep of Congressional delegations in
Delaware, Alabama, Georgia, Mary
land, Texas, Virginia and Tennessee,

elected Governor, and the Assembly is
Democratic.

and three Republicans to Congress,
with one district in doubt.

tion is probably Democratic.
The Republicans elect their State
ticket in Illinois.
The Cincinnati Ohio (rosette brings
forward the name of Hon. Joseph
Medill. of Chicago, as a proper man
for President ot the United States.
The Gazette's argument is : As Medill
was the choice of both parties for the
otlice of Mayor of Chicago when that
city was suffering from the great tire,
her business prostrated, her govern
ment demoralized, and an honest,
capable man was needed to keep the
municipal thieves in check, and when
elected he proved to be the right man
in the right place, therefore he would
make a good l'resident of these United
States. Gen. Sherman has also been
mentioned in connection the ollice, as
well as Win. Orton. present President
of the Western Union Telegraph Co.
A circular from the office of the
Cousul-General of Chile, informs ns
that the Second International Imposi
tion of Chile will open at Santiago on

A certain bill, allowing a majority
of the directors of a railway company
to reside out of the State, it is charged
by the Oregonian, was passed by both
Houses of the Oregon Legislature, re
ceived the signature of the Speaker of
the House, and was by him forwarded
to the President of the Senate, with a
message saying that he had so signed
it. the bill and message reaching the
President's desk before the adjourn
ment of said Senate ; but that in the
face ot these facts, and the further fact
that when it was observed that he was
about to adjourn the Senate without
allixing his signature to the bill, a
Senator arose at his desk and called his
attention to the fact that ihe bill was
awaiting his signature, and requesting
him to affix such signature before ad
journing the Senate, the Senate." was
adjourned by the President without
such signature being affixed. The
question is not. as to the importance of
the bill ; if the bill was duly passed by
both Houses, and properly enrolled
it was the plain duty of Col. Cornelius,
the President of the Senate, to sign it
the moment it was presented to him
in the open Senate he had no choice
in the matter. If the OreyoiiitM .sstate-
ments are true, then Col. Cornelius
I deserves the severest condemnation at
' the hands of honest men of all parties.

main in that rather unlucky condition
for some time. The contract for furnish
ing stamped envelopes was recently let.
but the contractors have uot yet had
time to provide the machinery for their
manufacture, and in the meantime the
government has sold out. A circular
to postmasters has been issued reciting
these facts, and those of the public
who desire to buy envelopes will know,
after reading this paragraph, the rea
son why they cannot lie had at present.
