G.O.P. Will Not Concede.

Republican leaders are not yet ready to concede the president’s re-election. Chairman Wilcox announced he would make no concessions before the vote for all the doubtful states had been “officially canvassed.”

When Chairman Wilcox was asked for an estimate of the time to elapse before the Republican leaders would decide who had been elected president he said he would make no estimate. He did say that he regarded ten days as a “safe minimum” of the time to elapse.

Mr. Hughes has let it be known that he will make no public announcement of the result of the election until the official figures in the doubtful states — Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota, and especially California — have been made a matter of record.

Democrats Lose House.

Indications now are that the Republicans will have a majority of five in the next house, 217 to 212 Democrats. There will be six members of other parties — three Progressives, one Prohibitionist, one Socialist and one independent.

Charles E. Hughes still refuses to offer President Wilson congratulations on his re-election.

He was reported to have been about to do so when National Chairman Wilcox intervened with a protest that he await the very latest returns from an investigation of the returns in California and other close states.

VOORHEESVILLE.

One evening this week, while Mrs. R. C. Bagley was sitting alone delving into the deep mysteries of the very popular crochet work, she was startled by the furious ringing of the door bell. The answer to this summons disclosed the presence of several lady friends with arms filled with all the necessaries to prepare a most delicious luncheon, besides ice cream, cakes and coffee. After the inner person had been fully satisfied some time was passed in music and story telling. A delightful evening was spent by those present.

VILLAGE NOTES.

— A telephone has recently been installed in John Crookes’ residence on Park street. The number is 61.

— Mrs. J. Poole of Elm street, Albany, picked ten full bloomed dahlias in the yard of her home on Nov. 4.

— A fully developed rose bud picked Tuesday morning from under the snow by Charles Hilts of our village, from a bush on his lawn, is on exhibition at the Enterprise office this week. The bush is a monthly bearing variety, and this accounts for its unusual blossoming at this time of the year.

— The dime social given Friday evening at the Enterprise hall proved most successful. About 75 persons attended and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. A large number were dressed as little children. The prize for the best girl’s costume was awarded to Mrs. Eugene Gardner. The boys’ prize was won by Frederick Keenholts, jr.

— Our Democratic friends had quite a revival last Friday evening, when the re-election of President Wilson became certain. Headed by a fife and drum corps, about one hundred marched through every street, avenue, lane and cowpath in the village. Serenades were given at the homes of several Republicans. It was some celebration and SOME noise. Go to it, boys; this is only the fourth time since before the Civil war that you have had the opportunity to celebrate the election of a Democratic president, and you had better take advantage of it.

— The new fire alarm apparatus has been installed. Unfortunately it does not appear to be any improvement over the old one. Both are in use at present.
