Mr. McKinley,of Ohio, Boss Ree:Ts
mau Friday,' has gone to Maine to
sneak in Reed's district. The latter
is seriously troubled for fear that he
may.be left out in the cold in No
vember. The New York Herald
advises the Maine Democrats
against such a thing. It thinks he
ought to be returned; that he has
done, and will continue to do, an
immense amount of good to the
Democratic party and the HcralcVs
head, as usual, is mathematically
level.
Senator Far well, of Illinois, de
nies the truth of the rumor that he
intended to retire from political life
at the end of his present term. He
says he knows of no reason why ho
should retire, and that, 'by the
grace of the good people ot Illinois,"
he expects to succeed himself in the
United States Senate. .Meanwhile
Gen. John M. Palmer, the Demo
cratic nominee for the United States
Senate, is making au energetic can
vass of JHipois and is sanguine that
he, and not Mr. Farwell, will, by
the grace" of the people of that
State, be the next United States Sen
The"news from Vermont is really
good much better, in fact, than we
dared hope for. There may be no
material benefit gained, it is true,
but the moral iufiuence of the thing
is worth , a great deal. So far as
heard from the Republican vote has
fallen off and the Democratic vote
has gained. The latter, it is true, is
less than 500 but the former, it is
al-o true, is more than 11,000, and if
the returns continue as they have
begun the falliug off will i bo 13,000.
The Democrats have gained hand
somely on the legislative ticket but
as they started up from almost noth
ing these gains must be phenomenal
to give them a. hope of controlling
the Legislature, which is to elect a
successor to Senator Morrill. Ver
mont is a small State, polling ordi
narily only about 03,000 votes, aud
yet she has 270 members of tle legis
lature, of which the Democrats have
heretofore had but 19. North Caro
lina polls 285,000 votes aud .has one
hundred members less than has Ver
mont in her legislature. New York
votes over a million and has but 1C0.

The assessed valuation of Boston
this year amounts toS22,02G,100 real
and personal estate. The highest
sum reached in any previoiis year
was 1875, a season of inllated real
estate values. That year the real
and personal of Boston were valued
by the assessors at $7'J8, 755,050 real
estate, $551,200,150; personal, $244,
554.000. The personal this year is
placed at $202,040,700; real $619,035,
120. Between 1874 and 1SS0 the as
sessed valuation of the city ran down
from $551,200,150 to $437,370,100.
