The Welcome says Democrats are al ready picking out the places they want in the postoffice building, and Senator Slater is in receipt of a big mail daily from all parts of the state asking his support--The Welcome thinks there is such a thing as being too premature.

New York, Nov. 9. The CommcrciaPs Washington special says: Gen.

New York, Nov. 9. Dana, editor of the New York Sun, said he thought Blaine's defeat was the result of White law Reid's antagonism to the Union printers of New York, tho utterances of Rev. Burchard, and Cleveland's general bullheaded luck. He said he thought the workingmen, whether Democrats or Re publicans, were generally opposed to Cleveland. AN HON13T COUNT. New Yobk, Nov. S. The Republican committee issued another address at midnight, asking the Republic to unite wun mem in an uonest euori. 10 secure a fair count, and expresses a belief, founded upon investigation, that Blaine has a plurality oi several hundred votes. From an impartial standpoint, the gen eral tone or tho manifesto seems to hedge a little on the previous address to night. FRAUDULENT TICKETS. New Youk, Nov. 8. The MnU-Exiircss says: A dispatch to tho national commit tee Irom the upper part of the state this afternoon alleges Butler's votes all counted for Cleveland.

INTERESTING TO SETTLER. Acting Commissioner L. Harrison, of tho United States General Laud Office, has issued the following circular to reg isters and receivers of United States I?nd effices: "From jind after the receipt of this circular, all testimony for claimants in establishing pre-emption or home stead rights, or mineral entries, and in oontested cases, must be reduced to writ ing, under the direct supervision of reg isters and receivers where such testimo ny is taken in towns where local offices are situatedbut registers and receivers are not entitled to any fees for examin ing and proving testimony in pre-emption cases where the proof is taken be fore a judge or clerk of a court. All fees received for examining and approving testimony not reduced to writing by you (except in final homestead proofs made beforo a judge or clerk of a court) and the fee of one dollar deposited with the register for giving notice of the can cellation of an entry, must be at once returned to tho party paying the same, or to his agent upon his presenting tho proper authority entitling him to receive it. You will give these instructions the widest circulation possible, without in curring any expense whatever upon the part of the United States." The employes at the Knappton mills are singularly barred from exercising the rights of casting their ballots as free men. On Tuesday the polls were not opened, nor was the mill closed down moro than the ordinary length of time at noon. Two years ago tho same thing was experienced. The mill company would certainly not lose anything by allowing their hands tho privilege of voting. Pacific Journal, 8th.

Tho Chicago Times of October 23th published a long and apparently impar tial biographical sketch of Wilbur F. Storey, the recently deceased editor of that paper, who made it such a power in the states of the northern Mississippi valley. This account of Storey's life work is interesting, because it explains the causes of the wonderful success of the Times, and not less interesting as an illustration of the contrarieties of human nature. Storey was not only one of the greatest journalists the country has pro duced, but also one of the most eccentric characters of his age. Even in calling him a great journalist, important reserva tions must be made, for he. hed none of tho moral greatness of Greeley or Bryant, with whom pecuniary success in journal ism was" by no means the limit of ambi tion. In his journalistic methods Storey more nearly resembled James Gordon Bennett than any of the other great edi tors of tho country, and even between these two there were important distinc tions of personal character. The Chi cago journalist, either from nature or set purpose, was intensely unsociable and repellaut. He was far from regretting this circumstance, and the conditions of success in the newspaper business are such that it seldom interfered with the attainment of his object. He was accustomed to say; "A journalist should not be popular; the better he is liked the less liable ho will be to perform his duty." He meant by this that one who had too many friends would deal too leniently with social and politi cal offenses. H his object was to make himself feared and hated, instead of loved. Storey could not havo desired greater success in that direction than ho achieved. During tho war ho was the best hated man in the west, and the memorable order issued by General Burnside for the suppression of the Chi cago Times, although quickly counter manded by President Lincoln, illustrated the depth of animosity which had been excited by tho paper's political course. During the popular excitement of those stirring times, Storey was often assaulted in public places, knocked down and bat tered with stones, etc; but his remarka ble personal courage and coolness in mo ments of danger brought him out of these uffairs without serious hurt. But it was in his treatment of his em ployes that Storey revealed his personal characteristics most strongly. Ho was haughty and imperious, avoiding person al intercourse to an extraordinary de gree. He would enter a room filled with men who had been in. his employ for years, without so much as a "good morning" to any one; he would seldom or never speak to his subordinates when he met them on the street, and often, ra ther than speak to a person in the same room, he would write the most trivial communication and have it laid on his table. On ono occasion, a reporter who had been employed on the Times for years, and who had met Mr. Storey face to face thousands of times, went to-him to nmko some complaint. Storey listen ed for a moment or two and then inter rupted with, "Who the devil are you, sir?" These details of offensive personal characteristics would be less worthy of note were they not met by other parts of his conduct with which they contrasted strangely. This cold, ill-tempered man, who was so heartily cursed by his polit ical opponents, and feared by the men he employed, was in the habit of showing his kindness for tho brute creation by picking up stray and hungry dogs on the street, carrying them to his home, and tenderly caring for their wants. "A familiar feature of his home life, was a largo, seek, purring cat on his lap, with which he seemed to have an excellent un derstanding. Tho explanation of Storey's newspaper success is the old story of the editor who understands the value of news, and knows that the public wants it more than it wants political discussions or fine writing: After building up the De troit Free Press Storey went to Chicago in 1SG1, bought a newspaper wreck that had bankrupted every preceding propri etor and in ten years: made it a great power in the country and himself a wealthy man. Then came the great fire of 1S71 and wiped out all of his visible property. It is related that at this cri sis Stores gave signs of breaking down under the terrible blow and was inclined to abandon tho struggle. He would not of his own volition have issued the paper again in tho days succeeding the fire; but his subordinates interceded and were allowed to get out an issue. The result was a speedy success, showing how indestructible is a great newspaper property from any sudden calamity like the Chicago hre. It was noted that from this time on Storev's personal character istics seemed to undergo a change. He consulted his staff more, was less exclu sive and imperious, and his manner lost much 01 its rudeness and brutality. The new success of tho paper, also, was won in a different way, for, while retaining its excellence as a news medium, the limes dropped its intense partisanship and became the leading exemplar in the county of Iahmaelite journalism. By a fall on the ice, Mr. Jeremiah Coleman, Norwich, N. Y., sustained a severe and obstinate sprain, of which he was cured by St Jacobs Oil, the magical pain-cure- Rooins to I,et.

The presidential election over, n crop of questions come up in connection with : the canvassing. There cannot be much false counting in the presidential con test. The New York electors make quito a long list. They number 3G. Tho sub stitution of a fraudulent list is in any case difficult. If fraud creeps into this branch of the great struggle it will main ly lie through false registration. To ab stract on tho outsido a lot of ballots of one party and substitute those of another is an operation so nice, for the addition must equal the abstraction, or the tally list will exhibit the cheat, that it will not likely be often attempted. But in local offices cheatiug can be done in a dozen ways. Tho clerk, if not" close lv watched, can read off the wrong name, and in this way take a vote -from one man and give it to another. Operators have pieces of lead pencil inserted under their finger-nails, and in this way do scratching unknown to the voter. The newspapers sometimes descant on the wonderful independence of the elec tors when commenting on the mixed results of an election, but some of it often comes by this dubious path. Most of this kind of work is got in be tween midnight and morning. That is the time when tired partisans begin to nod. Whisky is a powerful ally of the corruptionlst. H he can get his watchers fuddled while he keeps sober, the game will be generally in his hand. A wide awake partisan organization will watch tho polls by shifts, and place fresh, bright men on duty at midnight. Com paratively speaking, it is an easy thing to get a ballot into the box, but it is not so easy to get it out. The old and clum sy method was to stuff the box. There was no registration in those days. When a number of ballots concealed in a false bottom wero introduced by pressure on a spring, there was no record by which tho fraud could be detected. Tho modes of operation are now more delicate. None but deft, shprp rascals can now corrupt the sources of popular power. RATIFICATION POSTPONED.
