The Democrats undoubtedly have carried the Legislatures of New Jersey and Delaware, which ipsures Democratic Benators from each of those States, Advices from Nevada and Oregon clearly indicate the eleclio Demo- cratic candidales for the Benate, Tis would give 49 Democrats, or a posi- tive ms jority.” He was iuclined to make additional | claims upon Stales which are consid. ered doubtful. He said that accord- ing to his advices the Democrats will have a mejority of the Legislature of Tennessee, whica would iusure a Democratic Benator, He also counted on farther Demio- cratic from Illinois and from some other Btates whic are still open to doubt, His summary of Democratic control is substantially iu accord with the general view taken at the Senate wing of the Capitol, Io other quarters an impartial survey of the returas gives totais up to the pres- ent Lime as follows: Democrats, 48; Republicans, 41; membership, 96, The seven seats still classed as doubt. ful are the two from Illinois snd o each from Michigan, Oregon, Bouth Dakota, Tennessee sud Wyoming, ¥ithout apy of these seven doubl- ful seats the present mssured Dewo- cratic strength of 45 is exactly of the total membersuip and is suflicie with the vote of President shall ou a tie to coutrol the coe — Big Game Killed, n of accessions f the h doubtful, 7; total 3 AC half it Vice Senate, The long looked for bunting season came at last and many a hunter had his gun polished and glistening lige buruished silver, Bwmall game was abundant, aod more large thao in former years, and one Kind supposed to be extinct had been sighted, and this particular kind was Known to be desperate, puguscious, aad €0 mon- archal and King-like in his bearing toward other game that it was evi dent be was eager (0 devour anything that crossed his track, He never was found in the game place two days in succession.

Nevertheless we hied ourselves away to the forest in quest of amy game large or small without much success, finding very little small and seeing no large, or even hearing of that particular ferocious animal that no right thinking man wants to meet when he has no gun. But Tuesday morning we were up at early dawn and with cartridge-box filled to the brim, and saber polished, glistening in the sun, we went forth determined to have his scalp. At seven o'clock the first gun was fired and then we were all eager for the fray, We carried our forces, went out on the skirmish line hearing noth- log all the forenoon only a bewalling moan, Me, Me. After a sumptuous repast of duck, squirrel, and turkey for dinner, we shouldered our guns determined we would have his hide, We roamed over hillside and down through the valley, turough bramble and evergreens with guns at our shoulders all ready to shoot when bang, bang, went reports on each side sud all around us, snd then came the gracking of sticks and branches, sas an old Bull Moose with bhoros all broken sud sotlers bleeding rushed by us on his way to the boat landing, and jus} as the clock struck seven the old Bull Moose rushed on board snd owe he went up salt river.

Within the time when electors have been chosen directly by the people, John Quincey Adams in 1824 gained the Presidency without a msjority either of the popular or the electoral vole. James K., Polk in 1844 had nearly two-thirds of the Electoral Col- lege but a minority in the popular vote. Zachary Taylor in 1848 was out- voted by the Democrats and Free Boilers. Franklin Pierce had pearly three- fourths of the College in the great Democratic aweep of 1852, but a popu: lar majority of only 63 000. Buchanan in 1856 was in a popular minority. Abraham Lincoln io 1860 was heav- ily in a popular minority. Hayes in 1876 lacked both a popular plurality and msjority, Garfield in 1880 had a plurality of about 7,000 and was in a minority of over 300000.
