St. Joint icfusea to comply with a re
quest published iu tho Now York Tri
bune asking him to withdraw as a can
didate for president. Ho sets forth
his reasons for his rofusal in a lengthy
letter. If Blaino cannot get St. John
out of tho way, perhaps St. John might
indaco Blaino to withdraw.
THE 00T03S.1 ELECTIONS.
Tho rosult of Tuesday's olectiou
leaves tho Presidential campaign un
changed. Ohio elected Republican
Stato officers by n majority of about
15,000, by tho expenditure of a large
nmouut of money, tho influenco of nil
tho leading Kepublican orators of tho
country, and tho personal piesenco of
Blaino, who went over tho State, show,
ing himself at every four corners.
With tho means used to carry tho
Stato, a majority of 25,000 would not
have been. surprising. Mr. Blaino said
himself that anything under 20,000
would bo unsatisfactory. Republicans
profess to bo higly elated over what
they call a victory iu Ohio. "Tlio
Dutch havo taken Holland," Ohio is
a Republican stato and has not given
a Demooratio majority in a Presiden
tial year since 1830, nnd thero was no
roason to beliovo that it would chaugo
this year.
West Virginia elected a full Dem
ocratic) Stato ticket by about 8,500
majoiity, tho Democrats defeating tho
united strength of tho Republican and
Greenbackeis. Tho Democrats havo
just as much reason to shout over this
Stato as havo their opponents over
Ohio. Tho great battle now is New
York and if Grover Cleveland carried
it, oa wo bclievo ho will, ho will bo tho
next President of tiie United States.

The Central Question.
A recent number of Harper's Week-
Ill says : "To-day thero is ono ishup.
and but one, betoro tlio country an
issuo fully recognized by every intelli
gent voter and that is whether tho
author of tho Mulligan loiters shall bo
elected President of tho United
States."
This is a veiy important issuo ; nono
can bi- more so. Tlio man who fills the
chair of Washington should bo abovo
suspicion as regards honesty and truth
tulucss. This cannot bo said ot damos
I G. Blaiuo. Ho has not only huckster

nor anv interest. When the bill crant-

hastened to writo tho managers ot the
company, to let them know his action
had saved tho bill. When ho sugges

Tho "private business" dodgo of the
letters will not bold water, for the
abuse of public place is not private
business. What is thought of a man,
in ordinary uusiness transactions, who
tries to impose upon tho public a letter
of another as his own t Uo is sot
down as a cheat and a fraud. Blaino
attempted to do this thing by sending
to Mr. Fisher tho draft of a letter to

Now York on Thursday in favor of
tlio election of Clovolaud was a nota

of tho most stirring kind wero made

Im 'jrtant news about
black velvets. Importance
in black velvets centers
around these two points:
first, the fabric; second, the
black.
There are a great many
makers. Those who make
all-silk arc: in Lyons, France;
and those who make cotton
back are in Krefeld and Eber
feld, Germany. All-silk are
therefore commonly spoken
of as Lyon;-, velvets, and cotton-back
ap Herman.
We have seen about all,
possibly all thu makes of both
tn the wholesale market. Wc
do not buy abroad. We'd
rather let somebody else have
the job of getting them
through the Custom House.
We look them all over, and
buy what we consider the
best of the several grades,
This results in our having
these:

antl we'll get finer, if anybody
wants it.
Now in these few figures
we state almost the whole of
wlnt we presume is the most
carefully chosen and compre
hensive stock in any one store
in the country. (So broad a
statement as that calls for
your remembering that we
need just that. We have the
largest trade in the country
and thj most varied. What
should we do with a surpas
sablc stock?)
We have no objection to
telling how we choose, what
we look for, what we require.
German velvets from to
the best that is made, and
Lyons from 5 to the best
that is wanted. jBut wherein
does quality reside?
Quality of silk, closeness
of pile, back to hold it, black.
The best of silk is not to
be expected in German vel
vets. They are made of
duller silks and worked-over
silk-wastes ; as many sorts
and mixtures as makers;
more. Lyons is famous for
quality of silk.
Closeness of pile means
quantity of silk, yielding
solidity, soft resistance to
touch; what you expect of
velvet. The back is too
plain to more than speak of.
Black If There's where nine
out of ten are astray.
The black that is wanted
varies ja little around the
happy medium; neither blue
nor jet; between. Nouall
alike, but as near as we can.
Mere color is more than
quality, quantity, purity of
silk, more than all else.
Color first ; then quality ;
then how will it wear? Or,
to put it another way, how
looks it for color? for gener
ous fullness? only then how
long will it hang together?
And this leads to a nice
detail of color. We have
German velvets of a rusty
black to match old stuffs a
little faded. 20 inch; 1.50
to 2.00. C
Having guarded all these
joints of color, quality, quan
tity and putting together, we
hav'n't the least hesitation in
believing that we have about
is thoroughly mastered the
black velvets that have come
into the country as we hope
to next year; and that is
?aying a great deal.
If we should say table-linen
for 50 cents a yard, they who
Jon't know our practice of
selling nothing but linen for
linen would think we had cot-ton-and-linen
; everybody else
would think we had slazy lin-
For seven years now we
uive kept a certain German
c-tble-linen, that comes soft
and limp, without dressing of
any sort, It looks in the store
exactly as it'll look when it
jomes from the wash. We
have sold tons and tons and
tons of it ; and have yet to
hear a single complaint about
it. At first we sold it for 75
cents ; then 65 ; now 50 ; and
it is just the same as when it
began to come seven-and-a-half
years ago. We have be
w zan eightand nine thousand
arils of it ; and napkins to
utch, 18 and 24-inch, $1,10
nd $1.85 per dozen. The
irice will have lo go up again
fter a little.
Tho patterns this fall are as
id as ever.
