m z gattjj gtorfan. ASTORIA, OREGON: TUESDAY ....OCTOBER 28.18SJ NEXT TUESDAY The presidential contest -will be virtually decided next Tuesday, though the electoral college will not make formal choice until a month af ter the popular election. In a week a country having not lesst han fif ty" five millions of people -will decide who shall be the chief magistrate for the nest four years. The content is really betw een two political parties. The minor parties make but a small figure in the canvass. Gen. Butler is managing his political circus with his usual adroitness. He is rich and dearly loves notoriety. He is able to pay 3150 a day for a palace car to convey him to the various cities and towns where he addresses "his con stituents." . He does not expect to be elected. But he makes a figure in politics because he has a miscella neous following, which will come largely from the state of New York, where he is making a vigorous can vass. It now looks as if the results of the election would disappoint But ler in respect to the extent of his fol lowing; The mass of voters must regard the issue as between Blaine and Cleveland, or the Bepublicans and Democrats, and they will not be disposed to throw away their votes on any third party candidate. St. John is nominally in. the field; but the majority of voters who are prohi bitionists will not cast their vote3 for him. because they regard a vote cast in that way as thrown away. As for Belva Lockwood and her ticket, it is useful as serving for a newspaper par agraph now and then. But nothing will come of tliat issue. Looking at the condition of the canvass divested of all partisan feel ing, this fact is very clear: Blaine's prospects of election are as good one week before the election as were Gar field's four years ago one week before his election. There is hardly a doubt of the correctness of that proposi tion. Tour years ago the interest for a time was centered on the local elec tion in Ohio. It was carried in the name of Garfield, although it was a local issue. Two weeks ago the Ohio election became one of national in terest. It was carried in the name of Blaine, although it was a local elec tion. But the verdict for Blaine was nearly as emphatic as it had been for Garfield four years ago. The major ity on members of congress exceeded nineteen thousand. In both elections the issue was essentially the same the national issue overtopped the local issue. In some sense it -was de- clared, t-As goes Ohio so goes the Union," Ohio being regarded as a pivotel state. Of course the Ohio election does not settle the question It only indicates what is probably coming. Had Garfield lost Ohio, his own state, he would probably have been defeated. Had Blaine lost the same state in October, the Democrat ic party would have interpreted the result as presaging victory for that nnrfv in Tnvimlwr Ohio being counted sure for Blaine in November, the interest now cen ters in New York and Indiana. The Republicans will try hard to carry these two states, which are the homes of the Democratic candidates Tor president and vice-president. As to New York, the prospect appears favor able for tho Republicans. Butler's circus gels its principal support from an element outside of the Republican party. It is claimed by good judges that the interior of the state of New York, including the western half, will roll up a majority of not less than 60,000 for the Republicans. The question is, will this majority be over come by the adverse majorities cast in New York and Brooklyn? It is not believed that the majorities in those cities will exceed thirty thousand, and almost certainly not more than forty thousand. John Kelly does not believe that thirty thousand ma jority in New York and Brooklyn will give the slate to Cleveland. Mc Pherson, secretary of the National Republican Committee, estimates the Republican majority in New York stale as approaching fifty thousand. Probably this estimate is too large, but the judgment of a mau who has good information is of some value. There are large and enthusiastic demonstrations in New York and Brooklyn, the Democratic strong holds for Cleveland. But then these cities do not control the vote of that state. The interior and the western part roll up the tremendous major ities. They will not be less this year than they were four years ago. No jone can predict in advance just what - the majorities of the two great cit ies here mentioned may be. But it is .fair to assume that the relation of their vote to tho other parts of the state will not vary greatly from that of four years ago. In Indiana Blaine's prospects are as good as were Garfield's four years ago. At that time Indiana had a can didate for the vice-presidency in tho person of Ingush, it now has acan- didate for the same office, in the oer- son of Hendricks. Four years ago almost superhuman efforts were made i:o carry that state for the Democ- - racy. English had the mortification , of seeing his own state contribute to -his defeat The relation of parties T .now does not seem to be materially x changed. Hendricks is hardly i'jnore popular man than wag English four years ago. If Indiana is to be set down as a doubtful state, it may as well be set down as one vrith strong Bepublican leanings. -LI16 terSOnal r?AmrTiljfrnf4riTi mnln against Blaine by the Sentinel and a small clique in Indianapolis, may or may not nave been inspired by Hen dricks. But so far from damaging the Bepublican candidate, it has rath er been a help to him. If Indiana should cast a Bepublican majority, the victory for Blaine would be the more emphatic, because in the capi tal of that state the meanest and most malicious personal attack was made opon him ever known in :the history of politics in this country. It would be a righteous verdict that nothing should come of suoh an at tack but a radical defeat SHREWD ADVERTISING. P. T. Babkum tells a story of shrewd advertising. The great black ing maker of London, he says, dis patched his agent to Egypt to write on the pyramids of China, in huge letters, "Buy Warren's Blacking, 30 Strand, London." -It turned out," says Mr. Barnum, "just as he antici pated, that English travelers in that part of Egypt were indignant at this desecration, and they wrote back to the London Times denouncing the 'Goth' who had thus disfigured those ancient pyramids by writing on them in monstrous letters, "Buy Warren's Blacking, 30 Strand, London.' The Times published these letters And backed them up by several of those awfully grand and dictatorial edi torials peculiar to the great 'Thun derer,' in which the blacking maker, 'Warren, 30, Strand,' was stigmatized as a man who had no respect for the ancient patriarchs, and it was hinted that he would probably not hesitate to sell his blacking on the sarcopha gus of Pharaoh, 'or any other' mum my, if he could only make money by it In fact, to can the climax. War ren was denounced as a humbug. "These indignant articles were copied into all the provincial jour nals, and very soon, in this manner, the columns of every newspaper in Great Britain were teeming with this advice: 'Try Warren's Blacking, 30 Strand, London.' The curiosity of the public was aroused, and they did try it, and finding it a superior article, they continued to purchase it and recommend it to their friends, and Warren made a fortune out of it." Commodore SchtjfeiiDT lias re turned to "Washington from an in spection of the Panama canal. He lias little faith in the success of De Lesseps' scheme. Ho doubts if it ever will be completed. He says it has already cost as much as the ouez, ana ne lias merely scratched the surface. He thinks it -will cost $100, 000,000 more. He also doubt the practicability of Eads system. He thinks railway transportation the only solution of the problem. JjIeutekakt Stboxg, commanding the Ounalaska, reports to the depart ment his arrival at San Francisco. He succeeded in exploring 400 miles of the new river he discovered a year ago in -the northeastern portion of Alaska. The river is yqt unnamed, scarcity of time preventing his reach ing its headwaters. 'Nething: is politically right that is morally wrong," wrote the lamented Rush half a century ago, and the axiom is as true in '84 as it was in '34. The "Washington territory supremo court has decided that married women living with their husbands are com petent to perform jury duty. The News says that the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company has a claim of 8420,000 against Henry Yillard. NEW TO-DAY. For Rent. rilHE STORE ON MAIN STREET. FORM- jl eny occupied oy i. ioeo.
