No 213 MAINE’S GEIND EESULT POBT JERVIS, ORANGE COUNTY, N. TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1888, T H E B E E F CO M P A N r. THE PIN E TREE STATE MAKES RIG KEPUBUICAN GAINS. Oregon Sonmlert the W arning, Vermont Responded, M aine Nobly Answers It, and tlie Nation W ill Approve It ATI in November ~ H ighest Estim ates Snr- linssed. A itgttsta , Sept 10.—The returns from a large number o f toiras which have come in to-night give great Republican gains in every section o f the state and indicate the tremendous Republican plurality of 31,- 000 which exceeds the expectations of the most sanguine members of the party ; 18,- 000 being the largest figure anticipated by anyone. Robie’s plurality in 1884 was 19,805. The result is a surprise to every one, and Republicans are everywhere jubilant. A careful estimate places the total vote in the state at 143,000, of which 80,000 will be Republican and less than 60, COO Demo cratic. The Prohibition vote falls off de cidedly, and is not likely to reach over 3,- 000, against 3,851 in 1886. The labor vote may come up to 1,500. In the 1st district William Emery, the Democratic candidate for Congress, is completely snowed under and Tom Reed wins a magnificent victory, and will re ceive a majority o f over 2,500 votes. All the other Republican Congressmen will be returned by a largely increased majority. In York County the Republicans make a gain which they may well be proud of, the last dispatches indicating it to be 800. Two years ago two Democratic Senators were elected by the York County Demo- ciats, which they now lose. Waldo county is undoubtedly Republican giving the Re publicans another Senator. Under the conditions which prevailed, it is a glorious triumph. The whole power o f the administration was brought to bear upon the election. Vast sums ot money were poured in, and a most despe rate effort made by the party workers and leaders to cut down the Republican plur ality. They had boasted openly that they would bring it down to 10,000, and it swelled to nearly double those figures. For years the Republicans have ascribed the Republican victories in Maine to the power of the Federal oflace holders and their money. In this contest the Demo crats have controlled the entire Federal patronage in the state and made a deter mined stand up fight. The Republicans have met them squarely on their own ground and swept the state from Kittery to QuoddyHead. They may well be proud of their victory. They had the aid of Mr. Blaine’s powerful arm ; and the wool growers o f Somerset and Franklin count ies, the lumbermen o f the Penobscot and Kennebec rivers, the lime workers of Knox, and the potato growers of Aroos took—in fact, thousands of workingmen, whose interests were imperilled by the Mills bill, which directly attacked the industries of the state—rallied to the sup port o f the Republican ticket. The re sult is a direct rebuke to the President and the free traders, and prominent Re publicans here to-night regard it as assur ing the election of Harrison and Morton, aOC. B E A IN E ’S MESSAGES.

The Port Jervis Beef Company com menced delivering meat to our dealers yes terday. Messrs. Woilner and Dorr, the Pike street butchers, bought the first bill of meat from the new house. As soon as it was known that the meat had arrived, nearly all the butcher wagons in the vil lage might have been seen in the vicinity of the meat house and as a result in less th n one hour twelve cattle and a number of sheep had been sold. A visit to their new refrigerator and salesroom, will convince one that this company has a complete system for hand ling their merchandise, that is not only convenient but neat and replaces the ordi nary unsightly and appetite destroying mode of handling our dressed animal food. About 50 feet of the rear end of the building is partitioned off for the refriger ator or ice box. The first story bemg used for storing the meat, and the second for holding the ice. A door opens from the rear o f the lower room, through which the meat is passed from the car, suspended upon roller hooks that run upon an ele vated track, and by which it can be con ducted to any part of the building, or over the suspended scales, where it is weighed in the same position and passed on to the delivery wagon. The dealers here speak in fiattering terms o f the genial manager Mr. E. G. Crowell, and his courteous book keeper Mr. G. A. Clark. They are the kind of business men whom it is a pleas ure to meet and whom we are glad to wel come to our village. PEBSONAB. Miss Kittle Manion of Paterson, N. J., is visiting friends in town. Hon. M.

Mr. Cleveland prefaces his free trade sophistries with a number of the solemn platitudes for which he is noted. He en dorses the constitution and by-laws of the United 8tates, and announces his belief in a variety of issues concerning which his practices have belied his professions— such asi Civil Service Reform, the Indians, etc .—Buffalo Express, Mr. Cleveland will live to regret that he did not withhold this letter still longer, even till the close of the polls.

As usual, he opens with a dis. quisition on the tremendous responsibili ties of the office of Chief Magistrate, and then proceeds with “ my thoughts” on the great issues of the day. * * * The letter, in spite of its advance demagog- ism, w ill not help to elect Cleveland. The mask is too thm, and the real meaning of the words he uses is unmistakable.— N. 7 . Press. The letter is, to all intents and pur poses, a reiteration of that message with a few bits of protection trimming, carefully cut out and basted on by the kitchen Cabi net in the hope of catching the eyes of the unwary. There is nothing in it to change the issue as made up between the two great parties, and nothing that will lead the country to regard the continuance of the Demoeratis party in even limited con trol of the government as anything but a menace to the.prosperity of the country.— N. r .

E E IE ITEMS GATHEEED FOE EEAD- EBS OF THE UNION. Ert. Mott’s Budget in tbe New York Sun. Doublelieaders TlirougU Bergen Tun nel—Supt. OTnrpliy Virtually in Cbarge of Motive Power. Beginning yesterday the Pullman par lor cars were taken off all the local trains on the Erie and Ontario & Western roads. They are used only to accommodate sum mer travel. General Superintendent Murphy of the Erie is now virtually at the head of tbe Motive Power Department as well. A recent change causes each division’s mas ter mechanic to report directly to his su perintendent, and he, of course, is subject to the General Superintendent. The Erie is running two vestibuled Pullman coaches on trains 4 and 5, the St. Louis limited. The Pullman company is hurrying up a number more of these mag nificent winter cars, and before the snow comes a solid vestiouled train will be en tering and departing from the Erie depot daily. “ Double header’’ trains on the Erie and Greenwood Lake roads are getting to be all the rage of late, and m that way the old problem of Bergen Tunnel deten tions IS being solved. Each road runs one of them out of Jersey City at 5.33 p. m. The Greenwood Lake runs another out at 5.53 p. m. The Erie runs another out at 5.48 p. m., and in conjunction with the New Jersey & New York one is run out at 5.33 p. m. Other trains will also be run in this way very soon. There are so many trains on the three roads departing almost at the same time that this measure had to be adopted in order to prevent de lay at the east end of the tunnel, the rule being that two trains moving in one di rection cannot occupy the tunnel at the same Evening Sun. It is reported from Chicago that E. B. Thomas, Vice President of the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio road, is to be made First Vice President o f the Brie, succeed ing Samuel M. Felton, jr. The change, it is said wiU take place on Oct. 1, The Erie company has just purchased a tract of seventy-five acres of land adja cent to its present property in Susquehan na, and it is reported that the company will build a large iron foundry on the tract, with additions to the machine shops already located in the town. Under the terms of its special charter, the Erie com pany pays only $10,000 a year in full of all state taxes in Pennsylvania, and the company’s purpose is said to be to remove its workshops, as far as practicable, from heavily taxed localities like Port Jervis, Elmira and Hornellsville to Susquehanna, where its property is comparatively tax free.— N.

The Spceclr of Representative M cKinney in May—Some Features of the Cam paign—The President Finds the Con ditions Clianged. The Democrats in Congress were very bold in asserting that they were free trad- ders, until they heard from Oregon. At present they are quite anxious to be thought the friends of labor. They insist, therefore, that they are not for free trade, and that neither the President’s message, the Mills bill nor the Democratic platform looks that way. But let us see how they used to talk before Oregon was heard from.

The man was a resiaentof the backwoods, west of Milford, where he killed the rat tler, and brought its carcass to this vil lage, in hopes of finding a purchaser, which he did in the person of Dr. Calvin F. Kyte of Jersey City, who happened to be at the Minisink House at the time. Dr, Kyte informed a U nion reporter that he has a room full of such curiosities which he has collected all over the country.

Ex-Rebel Rev, Dr, Brooks’s Speecli—Dem-< ocrats Burning Copies of a Paper. if there are any Republican prohibition ists among our readers who still feel like voting for tne Pronibition presidential eiectoiB, we recommend to them the care ful perusal of the verbatim report of what the 'Vice Presidential candidate, ex-Rebel Rev. Dr. Brooks, said in a speech at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York city, on the 33d of January, viz.: In that contest my distinguished friend (Fisk) and brother who leads me in this conflict was on the side of emancipation. He was an abolitionist ; and, I used to hate an abolitionist worse than I did the devil. It tnere was anything outside the nether regions that I hated mote than an other it was an abolitionist, (Laughter.) ,nd while he was fighting on one side, was doing all the praying and all the exhortation, and ali the entreaty, and a little -figliting on the other side. The Democrats of Jamestown, N. Y., recently engaged in the enterprise of buy ing up all the copies of the Buffalo News sent to that city and burning them. Hav ing been caught in the act, they begin to exhibit signs of §hame.
