THE ELECTION. A Republican Vlotoii XJhp Result As WasKpected. Four of . Roosevelt. fW 8i?e The Country Now X" ForNo Man Can. a The pleottofa im over, and the nee of the people said to have en heard. For our part we pcquiesce with bad grace in the result, for as an American citi sen having the tirue interests of his country at heart, ve are loath to believe that the majori ty di American voters have by their ballots , reseated Roosevelt via the Presidential chair. If it is any consolation to the Presi ilenVwe may Bay that a corrupt tt*e*>f inoney amoug the baser djiVit voters (we will not dig . nify them by the honorable title pf citizen) has elevated him over the head of a better man. We Oannot find words strong enough to express reprelieusion for the ?pparently honest opiuion pi pressed by the party managers In their extravagant claims of Jin Sverwhelmning Democratic vic >ry when the actual result was such a pitiable farce. New York, Indiana, West Virginia, in fact every State that We claimed as doubtful has gone fee publican, with worse to follow perhaps ttiat we will even lose the House of Representatives. In our next issue, wo will give our readers full reports of the election, but at present we ac tually have not the heart for it. Sam and Jake. The Negro character lias been described by a number of those who have made it a study, as com - plex and contradictory. At times the pathetic elemeul pre dominates. At others, the bel licose. Again, the humorous. It has been noted also that they can display constaucy of affec tion towards those who, either by reason of intimate association )iaVe gained their regard, or be cause of favors received. At all times, however, it has been fonnd that their character is tinged with religious fervor, es pecially at camp-meetings and Revivals. Possessing to a mark <ed degree the someiime virtue Of standing together, "shoulder to shoulder,*' the uegro. as a whole, may be considered a paradox. We have in our two characters "Bam and Jake," endeavored to give our readers in a semi-hom orons way, some of the most pleasing features of negro character, at the same time not disguising the fact that it pos sesses its darker side also, not blily as to color", but to cliaract So much as a prelude to the last meeting of "Sam and Jake" on the occasion of the exhibition given here by the Gentry Shows on Nov. 3rd, Jake, not knowing positively whether Sam would bo over or not, and being wise in his day and generation went to our great moral institution before it closed up after everyone had bought enough out of it to keep them ?Bwizzltd a month, and primed himself with enough of the- rale stuff to keep him going a week if he could keep gotiuf. "Cruin," being his favorite, lie purchas ed his quantum of that article. Just before reaching the show 'grounds, he struck up with Sam, and the very nirwas resplendent With the glbry of his countenance ' In the realization of the fact that | be could pass the remainder of j jthe day in the company of a con genial spirit' one who 13 always ready and willing to assist him In the enjoyable process of put ting away as mu'ch of the other jkind of spirits as both, or either pf ihettl could say grace over. After safely passing Jakes ol' 'oman, an' dat onery boy ob his'n, together with Malialey, Barn's wife into the show, our two worthies stepped behind a tent and took another rise out of Jake's bottle. They t hey wend ?d their way in, and were soon in the full enjoyment of t lie per formance given by the best ani mal showmen on the road. Jt Vas noted by a number of those Who had seats near them, that f?t certain periods during the berformance, both Sam and Jake displayed considerable emotion of a lachrymose character with out apparent cause. This exhibition of deep feeling was not alone displayed by our two coons, but was manifest at different points along the line Of seats occupied by tho vast polored audience present. At the close of the performan K, Sam and Jake walked out of e tent* both wiping their eyes. At is they had cleared the grouuds, Sum turned to Jake, and remarked; ? 4 Jake, I always is know dat yu frus or- fool, but l.did tink datyu bub better sence dun ter cry ' to dat crowd." "Fool yuse'f. Yu cry same as ute do. Wha' fer yu do una?** ''Jake, I tells yer, dat dociuh monkey dey liab in dat show 'mind me so much ob my po' ol* fuder dat I cudn'd he'p cry, but dat didn't mek no rea son w'y yu ac' lak er baby/* "Now, niggah, dat same mon-? key doctah cause wid me de same 'sturbance wha' yu liab. Ho v.*us jes lak my bruddet\ Pote, wha' die las' year, an' 1 jes hub ter cry fer tiuk ob um." "Dat 'splanation atn satifact ery Jake. I notis de fambly 'semblance myself, but, fer dat matter'allob us look kinder 'like. Lc*sgit 'hind dis tree an' lick ol' Crum ergin au* go home. We meet at de Carnival". Tailoring! Tuiloriutf!

"I want to touch my namesake at The Hub for a hat and an overcoat. The ad. of the firm in The People sounds to suit me, and I always trade with the Brown family when I can. Where are you for, Black?" Black. ? "Well, The People cracks r.p Schenk Co's., bug gies so high that I think one of them will jnst about suit ine and my wife to go to meeting in. I'll make a dash for one anyway.

Hollo Hill. Arthur L?. Cogliser, who is playing the role of the luckless William Fuller in ??Hello Bill" this season has been playing the part of the stern and uncom promising C Jeneral in Mr. Good hue's f i laous farcical comedy tin* past 1 ;v?? years and when Mana ger I). K. Harnett acquired the rights of the play this season, h<? immediately engaged Mr. Cogliser to play Hill fooling sure t hat. wit h his great knowl edge of the play and his ability as an actor, he could handle the character better thau any man i n the country. Mr Harnett's faith has been more than justifi ed as every paper where the plav has been seen t his year has united in declaring Mr. Coglis cr's impersonation to be better than any of his predecesseors, on account of the finely legiti mate manner in which he hand les the character. "Hello Hill" wi'h Mr. Cogliser will be seen at t he Camden Opera House next Tuesday, November lath. ??;>?.*? T<?':?trro *|ii( unit Kmok< four In* Aw* j.

The absence of tickets for vo ting on the various constitution al amendments at the various precincts in the county was a se- j rious oversight on the part of those in charge of the job of dis tributing them.
