PAGE TWO/EDITORIALS.

   The election last Tuesday resulted in the defeat of the Democratic  party.

Harrison and Morton are probably elected although their margin in some of the states is a very narrow one. The republicans claim a small majority in the House of Representatives. [Democrat] David B. Hill is elected Governor, Edward F. Jones, Lieut. Governor and John Clinton Gray is elected Judge of the Court of Appeals. Hill's majority will probably be between 8,000 and 10,000. The Republicans place Harrison's majority in this State at 10,000.

Our Candidate for President.

   He will be nominated by the convention and will be elected by the people, because he will come the nearest to filling their ideal of a Chief Magistrate. Electric Bitters has been given the highest place, because no other medicine has so well filled the ideal of a perfect tonic and alterative. The people have indorsed Electric Bitters and rely upon this great remedy in all troubles of Liver, Stomach and Kidneys. For all Malarial Fevers and diseases caused by Malarial Poisons, Electric Bitters can not be too highly recommended. Also Headache and Constipation. Satisfaction guaranteed, or money refunded. Price, 50c and $1 at Brown & Maybury's Drug Store.

Oldest Woman in New York State.

   Probably the oldest woman in New York State is Mrs. Sarah Rockwood of Cortland. She is a daughter of the late Rev. Daniel Chaplin. D. D. of Groton, and was born on November 8, 1785. Colonel William Prescott, who commanded the American forces at Bunker Hill, was her uncle. She has good health, and does not show her burden of years either by appearance or action.—New York Sun.

VIRGIL.

   Another Republican meeting held here last Friday night, with a good audience. To hear Grand-pa and A. P. Smith talk at random one would think at times that the little ex-judge was a privileged character owing to the way he told about the patches on his pants and how his mother raised her family. But when the little man began to beg of Prohibitionists for their influence and votes, any but those who knew him would not have even thought that he was a steady drinker. Now that elections are over and the excitement done we hope that Republicans who did not know who Jim Blaine was, when told that he was coming to Cortland if possible, will be spared for four more years and will take some paper that he may even know who the candidates are from one term to the other, for when it was explained to him that Blaine ran for president four years ago, he remarked it seems as if I did hear something about it.

   The correspondent for the Standard, last week, extolled our landlord [Mr. Freer, proprietor of hotel—CC editor] very highly, but no more so than others who patronize him, even if they do not have political money to pay their bill with.

   Is a person in the right state of mind to worship god, when on his way to church, he will stop at a public place and damn off his neighbors and make statements to bet money, then not put up the stake on account of his religious scruples?

   When men of either party will stoop so low as to seize on the illiterate voters when they arrive at the polls and by their influence and promises vote them contrary to their will, yon cannot expect anything else but they will hoot them out of town as their vote is cast. Such was the case on Tuesday last, judging from all appearances by some of our townsmen.

  

HERE AND THERE.

   Thanksgiving day November 29th.

   Mrs. Eastman has rented the hotel at Little York for the coming year, and takes possession about the fifteenth of next January. She will be much missed in Tully.—Tully Times.

   The Cortland Cleveland and Thurman club accompanied by Mechanics' Band, went to Cazenovia last week Thursday, to join in the grand parade held there that evening. The Republicans set fire to the Democratic banner and cut the head out of the bass drum belonging to Mechanics’ Band.

   A special train carrying Chauncey M. Depew from Syracuse to Cortland passed through Cortland last Thursday morning. During the stop at this station, Mr. Depew made a short speech from the platform of his private coach. The run from Syracuse to Cortland, 37 miles, was made in forty-nine minutes.

   The jury in the case of The People against Lucien S. Crandell [typewriter inventor—CC editor], indicted for perjury, brought in a verdict of not guilty, this morning. The case has been on trial for more than a week, and has been stubbornly fought on both sides. Hon. N. C. Moak, of Albany, E. Delehenty, of Brooklyn, and Hon. A. P. Smith, of this place, appeared for the plaintiffs, and Hon. Wm. P. Goodelle, of Syracuse, Hon. O. U. Kellogg and J. & T. E. Courtney, of this place, appeared for the defendant.

Dr. Spencer's Recitals.

   On Monday evening next, Nov. 12, our esteemed citizen, Dr. Spencer, begins his winter series of recitals, six in number, Hamlet being the first play, to be followed by Much Ado About Nothing, Macbeth,  Romeo and Juliet, Love and the the Lady of Lyons, on successive Monday evenings, all at the old Taylor Hall, which will hereafter be known as The Bijou Theatre."

   Dr. Spencer’s high reputation will ensure a full house, especially as this is the only series he will give this winter. Many who have not heard him are anxious to embrace this opportunity.

NEIGHBORING COUNTIES.

   CHENANGO.—The dynamo for the electric lights in Norwich has arrived, and the workmen engaged in constructing the plant are busy in completing the details. Dark nights, rain and mud, which have prevailed for several weeks past, induce a desire among citizens for a hastening of the time when the streets will be lighted by electricity.

   It is said that the widow of B. H. Welton, who was murdered in Bainbridge on the evening of Oct. 1st, by William H.Gilbert, is prosecuting the liquor sellers of that town, who sold Gilbert liquor, for damages, and that Charles Thomas, a saloon keeper, has settled with her, paying her $1,050, and quit the liquor business. Suit has been brought against H. J. Anderson, proprietor of the Park Hotel, for damages, but Mr. Anderson refuses to pay, and the matter will be settled in the courts.

   MADISON.— Dogs bit all of Paul S. Maine's 32 sheep in Perryville last week, and killed 17 of them.

   Fire was discovered in Mangen Bros. pipe factory, in Durhamville, this county, about 11 o'clock last Wednesday night, which destroyed the factory, Ludd's hotel and barn, the sheds of Standt's hotel, Sibels' blocks of stores, Schaub's hotel, Felt's blacksmith shop and Justice of the Peace Reynolds’ office and harness shop. Loss $30,000. Insurance $18,000. Supposed incendiary. The village has no fire department.

   TOMPKINS.— The cost of the Barber trial to Tompkins county is estimated at from $10,000 to $12.000. The sum of $800 alone was paid for an assistant to the District Attorney.

   Richard Barber, who was convicted last week of murder in the first degree, for killing Ann Mason in March, was sentenced to be hanged December 18th. His counsel moved for a new trial, which was denied. Barber received his sentence unmoved.

   The football game between Williams and Cornell, which look place on the campus last Saturday, resulted in a victory for the former team by a score of 20 to 0. Considerable "unpleasantness" was manifested during the game with the result that several of the players were severely pummeled.
