GalTestOD, Not. 9. The latest re-!

district indicate hia re election with'
out doutt and probably without a de
areased majority. The contest be
tween democrats and republicans in
the 7th district will be close, but the
election of Grain, democrat, seems
certain.

of 176 p Harrison 24,980, CleTe-
land 97,691. The republican State
committee claim the State by front
10,(300 to 12,000. The democratic
State committee concede the State to
the republicans but by a small major
ity. The latest figurts indicate the
election of four republican Congress
men. Three of the Congressional
districts are very close.
1 WEST VIKGINIA.
Charleston, Not. 9. Offioial infor-
mation received at the state house
says, Fleming, democrat, is elected
GoTernor by about 900 majority. It
is now believed that the republicans
have elected three out of four Con
gTessmen, with the fourth in doubt,
In every county aud precinct the re
publicans have gained and as the
matter now stands the legislature is
doubtful. It looks as if it would be
a tie with Senator Carr, greenbacker,
naving deciding vote on vsint ballot
The republicans claim everything and
democrats are very blue.
Wheeling, W. Va., Nov. 9. Forty
counties polling 115,468 votes foe
President inH.884, show a net repub
lican gain of 4,046. . The remaining
fourteen counties polling 16,689 votes
will at the same ratio of gains give
the republicans a gain of 799, making
a total gain in the State of 4,845,
which would give the State to the re-
Sublicans by 624 majority. The in
icationa are that Atkinson, Flick and
Smith, republicans, are elected re
spectively' in the first, second an
fourth Congressional districts. :
INDIANA.
Indianapolis, Nov. 9. The Indiana
apolis republicans are still jubilant
and smiling, but the remarkable de
monatratiODS of the past two days
hare ceased. The people have re
turned to business and the city wear
its normal aspect. The county can
Tassing board is still in session. The
official figures on the res alt in the
city cannot be obtained, but the dem
ocratic electoral ticket was carried in
the county by a plurality of 378.
Few official returns are coming id
from the counties over the State, and
it is thought that the republican plu-
ralitv will be in the neighborhood o!
2.500.
In the eighth district E. V. Brook-
shire, democrat,' defeats James T
Johnston, republican, for Congress
by 65 majority. This ia a democratic
gain.
Indianapolis, Ind , Nov. 9. Coun
ty returns from Indiana had not be
gun to arrive at midnight and it is
scarcely probable that the official re
turns will be received before Friday
bight, when the vote of the State by
counties will be given. The returns
from Congressional districts are also
incomplete, bat up to one o'clock
this morning nothing bad occurred
that changed the resalt as given in
the earlier press dispatches. Paf
rott, Democratio candidate fdr
Congress in the first district, has a
majority of only 26 over Posey, Re
publican. This is General Hovey a
old district. The latest returns 0L
Presidential electors indicate thfit
Gen. ' Harrison's plurality will be
aboat 4,000.'
Several pretended interviews witu
Harrison nave very recently been
printed in three or more metropolitan
journals. Harrison from the day Of
his nomination has consistently de
clined to be interviewed by any news
paper correspondent and has n4t
knowingly talked of public matters
for publication. These interviews
therefore are not genuine. f

I believe that we will have from
fifteen to twenty majority in the next
House," said Secretary McPherson,
of the Republican Congressional
Committee, today. Taking up a table
printed in a New York Republican
paper he said: "I am going to give
the Democrats all that they claim
within reason, where actual returns
have not removed all doubts." From
tbe table he reduced Republican
claims for Congressmen by one in
each Florida, Kentucky, Maryland.
North Carolina and West Virginia,
and by two in Virginia. In that
shape he deolared be allowed all dem
ocrats claims in doubtful cases red
the result was a republican majority
of fifteen. He could not see how it
could possibly be reduced below that
figure, and allowing for republican
chances in doubtful districts as in
Virginia, Maryland, West Yirginia,
North Carolina and elsewhere he con
fidently expected that the republican
majority would be nearer twenty than
fifteen..,

Your Durham telegram, stating
"I voted the straight democratio
ticket, does me a gross injustice. I
am certain it was not so intended by
the sender, therefore it is not neces
sary for me to say more than that it
was a mistake. I was true to the
Erohibition party. I voted the pro
ibition ticket as far as it went; I
then supplemented as I thought beat.
I did not vote for myself for tbe leg

Well, if every story is to be be

town with roosters on their bats are to
be given credence, then somewhere in
the neighborhood of $140,000,000
went into the Republican pocket yes

eliminating the "Munchausen" ele

on the result in this city, and perhaps
five times this amount throughout

General F. K. Spinner la Jacksonville Fla)
Ilmes-UnloD.
You are quite right iu regard to the
origin of the postal currenoy. When
all the silver had been paid out of the
United States early in ' 1862, 1 pro
cured from the Poat office Department
quantities of postage stamps for the
purpose of making chant e my recol
lection now is that at that time five
and tep ctnt stamps were the only
kinds in use. So, to facilitate tbe
making of change, I had the stamps
pasted on Blips of paper so as to make
twsnty-five and fifty cents. This was
done after an agreement with Mr.
Montgomery Blair, the then Postmas
ter General, that he would redeem
them in that condition in postage
stamps. It was soon found that this
mode of procedure was impracticable.
I then persuaded the Postmaster
General to procure the engraving and
priming ui iaa simiKs oi me postal
compound postage stamps. These
the Treasury bought from the Post
master General under an agreement
that the Postoffice Department would
redeem them. This was what was
called "postal currency," and is the
kind you inquire about in your letter.
Enclosed herewith you will find a
sample o! this kind of currency. You
will notice that it was made re
deemable in postage stamps only.
The Postmaster, General soon be
came tired of tho additional respon
sibility and labor that the issuing and
redemption of this currency threw
upon his omoe, and he urged that the
Treasury should relieve him from it.
I then procured the passage of a law
by (Jongress lor the printing of a
currency that would represent tbe
tactions of the dollar. These were
engraved and printed in denomina
tions of three, live, ten, hf toen, twenty-five
and fifty cent Doles, and in con
tradistinction to the postal currencv
were called fractional currency, and
were receivable for all government
dues.
