What will Cleveland majority tejrrity of Mr. Cleveland's adminfe!
be? We don't know and can rilyi tration and maintains the highest
guess, like the rest 6f the world. We j 8tamlard ot democratic principles,
wbald iy though that estiiuatea ! A11 of whicn Kes to show that a

York. This is something new, even J again, as witness the 192,000 ma
for Gotham. It is said that there ijority for Cleveland for Governor of
win nor ue less man i,aw eoloretl
voters in line on that occasion.
The big new steamer City of New
York four days overdue, has ar
rived at New York. The delay was
caused by various mishaps to her
machinery and fears for her safety
had been expressed in New York.
President Cleveland has very neat
ly nailed a campaign lie. In an ar
ticle in the North American Review
he'is charged with saying this: "I
believe in free trade as I believe in
the Protestant religion." Mr. Cleve
land says, politely but emphatically,
thatjt is "a pure, unadulterated
fabrication. v
--
A new fad goes into operation in
New York to-day. Passengers are
to be carried to Albany on 'Father
Columbia's" steamboat line for 10
cents each. The usual fare is $2.
Meals will be furnished continuous
ly onjthe boat and those who want
to eat can pay $1 per day and eat as
much.and as often as they please.
The projectors say there is money
in it.
The way the rats desert the sink
ing ship is a caution. Strange as it
may appear it is likely that Rosooe
Conkling, were he alive now, would
repudiate the Chicago ticket. This
is plainly intimated. Hon. George
C. Gorham, an old line Republican,
was one of Mr. Conkling's most inti
mate friends. In an interview with
a New York Herald reporter he de
clared most unequivocally against
the Republican ticket and in favor
Qf Grayer Cleveland.
The Roanoke river is on a big tear
the biggest sort of a big tear and
the destruction to property in Hali
fax and Northampton counties in
this State will be very great. A
telegram rn the New York Star from
Norfolk says:
Passengers arriving in the city on
trains from North Carolina bring
the information that the rivers kaye
overflowed their banks and covered
the surrounding country with water
for miles. The oanoRe riyer lias
risen thirty-seven feet over high
water mark, flooding Northampton
and Halifax counties and doing im
mense damage. v The entire corn
and cotton crops in the lowlands iu
the vicinity of the river are de stroyed.
Houses are loose and are
being tossed aboHt in the water,and
it is feared that many lives have
bee.n lost. In some f the corn fields
the water is twenty feet above the
top of the corn.
: The country is flooded a distance
of three miles from the river, and in
man v places the tree tops alone give
evidence of the existence of land.-
Cattle have. been drowned and many
carcasses are floating around. The
people living in the vQjn,Hy of the
flood are pauio-srickeu'antf many of
them homeless. The -damage to
crops is estimated at from $400,000
to $500,000.
This afternoon the river is falling,
and there is a more hopeful feeling
among tlie teopie. l rains nave
been delayed, but as all bridges in
that section are of 'stone'and iron,
none fyii been washed away

Maine election and thoroughly dis"
sects Mr. Blaine's midnishtSV1?.

that it was1 4'nqt simply a great vic

wa not exactly a revolution but
the preaige of a revolution and ;
not of the kind that Mr. Blaiae had

Cotton Clo.tti Bagging in New York.
The New York Times says: Sam
ples of cotton cloth bagging were
exhibitecTon the tables of the Cot
ton Exchange yesterday, and tffough
a few persons thought it was likely
to be more inflammable than jute
bagging? the majority commented
very favorably upon it. The objec
tion as to inflammability can be re
moved, it is thought, by dipping it
in some solution. The insurance
underwriters have agreed to insure
it, and it is thought by members qf
tbe Exchange that the Board of
Managers will pass fayorabjy wpon
the new cloth at theft next meeting.
The cjh hsLs, been subjected to
compression by the use of hooks
and declared to be fully as strong as
jute. The material used in its man
ufacture is the cheapest cotton, thus
reducing the price to less than that
ordinarily charged fer jute bagging.
