ti0n Of enforcing the clause IN tue N1tiof,al As
soviation rules, that all nominations shall be
accompanied by the entrance money. This rule
has never been enforced. from tue fact that ui'-
til within short time the associations, owing to
the scarcity Of trottiGg-lorscs, have in measure
been bidding against each other 1or entries, anu
none Of them lave had the courage to I've up to
the rules for fear OF offending and driving away
from their tracks the very tlcn whose assistance
was necessary to their success. Now, all this is
changed. Trottinghorses are as plenty as
grasshoppers in Kansas, and there is hardly
boudholdcr tn TT to the foscy County bump
kin, but imagines that he has a
trottcr Of merit; one that is bound to win
fame and fortune for its owner. Scures OF these
1unkhcad trotters have been entered in races
not until tine present season that they invaded
the Septilatcral. But they have done their
work we'll as the members OF many an assp-
ciatiou-as they gaze On the long list OF horses
with highfalutin titles that were entered with
so much pomp, but never paid the money-can
testify. It cost these backwoods trotters moth
ing to enter. Their owners merely sent the
naInes Of their plugs to tue different associa-
tions, and then travelled to Cleveland. They
paid their entrancemoney there, aud went INTO
race Il they Won anything they went to
Buffalo, and il they didn't they went along
anyway, and took Que more shy ut the rares.
Some OF them got to Rochester, but there even
the boldest Of tine cornfe1d turf1nen paused,

The result of their inroais On tile SUCCESS OF

tracks belonging to the National Association,
and next season, instead Of beliu1ding track
full Of hay-fed tro&ters and yahoo drivers, the
majority of whom generally manage to run
into solne one before reaching the first turn, the
public will see reasonably large field OF good
horses, and the associations will know where
tue money is coming from.
THE LUCK OF THE TURF.
The good luck and bad luck OF the turf ore

10 far Ms it goes, but it does not go far
enough. The amount should have been
placed ut 0.000, 900, and it may require
oven moro than that to meet the requirements
Of business. A hundred millions would
be only S2.5o per capita of the population.
Ten millions would bo only drop III tho
bucket. The last ten millions has already
virtually disappeared, and currency has grown
so scnrce rs to seriously Inconvenience busi-
nosa men. Owing to tho popular mania
for boarding. it iH we'll nigh impossible to

Ohio,-by voting agniust tho Republican

election and New York and other States,

tlletu for 1ftpEs, or whoever may be- the
Democratic nominee.
The delegations to Cincinnati I'LL
nois 81, Iowa 22, Nebraska 6, total 7o-rep-
resent States that will vote as certainly for
any other Republican candidate ~ they will
for BLAINE. But should these delegations
undertake to. force nLA1NE upon the States
Of New York," Ohio, and Indiana against the
Judgment and protests OF those States, what
will they accomplish but ronder the result

Mr.. BLAINE has no following In Ohio, In.
dinna, or New York. He had no local Hup-
pot before the recent revelations, and Inns
less now. The delegates from Ohio frankly
declare that it is not possible to carry that
State for BLAINE. If ha fail to carry Ohio
in October. what chance can ho have to carry
Now York in November? It will require q
strong uan to curry Now York at the bost,

AN EXPLANATION WANTED,

The New York 1ssHes is not satisfied with
Secretary RopEsos's defense Of himself, al-
though lao mede protty good showing, and
wants him To explain tho sudden control OF
wonlth which his bnnk-accounts show. In
nsn,nch aa 3Ir. RopEsoN hal no important
financial relations with any institution before
]iis appointment, and was worth nothing
when appointed, tho request for him to riso
and explain Is n worry natural one. Mr.
KonzsoN's appointment dates from June 2',
1869. At TINT time, as the testimony shows,
he was worth next to nothing, nnd had the
general reputation Of being very poor n,a,,
among those WHO know him best Nov let
us sec how the poor man thriycd aftur Lis
appointment. From July to December,
1sG9, thcro were placed to his credit
in tho National Bank Of Ca,ndon $17,-
e87 In chcckH and notes OF tho Car
rE1s. In 1870 and 1871, similar
items to tho amount of sa2, ,176 were entered
to his credit in tho same bank. From April,
1872, to Sept. 1G, 1873, RonEsows bank.nc-
count was with jar CookE l. Co. In Wash
ington, and hia deposit through this period
fooled up $08,034. When JAY CooER l. Co.
failed, 1ia transferred his account to DnExEL,
A1onoAs Il Co., and during tile fall Of 1879
Sss deposits, it is stated, o1ccedel 500
Still further it is alleged TINT he Ind accounts
with R1uos l. Co. and tho First National
Dnnk Of Washington, but tho amouut of his
credits with these banks in not stated. Mr.
nonEsoN's income as Secretary cannot nc
count for these large s,,us, amounting In tho
aggregate to nonrly $15o,oo0, anil ho cannot
have Ind whilo secretary legitimate oppor-
tuuiticB of awelfiug his income 30 handsome
1y. It il therefore highly important
TINT hfr. KonEsoN should make n
categorical statement of bis receipts
| and tho aourcea wlonco they came
in order to reliove himsolf from the pniuful
suspicion thnt he obtained these larger
amounts in soms manner which ia not legit.
n,ate,- suspicion which is emphasized by
| tho fact TINT ho Ind nothing when be re-
ceivod his appointment, aud never WIS
troubled with bank accounts hofora it.
There is an average OF bunk depoaits OF
$3.50, 900 per auuum. through period Of five
ycara, tlat is known. Rumor Bays there il
still moro that is not known, Where did
tho deposits come from?

What VIC object to ia tho policy Of tho Elec-

TINT tho requirement to keep list Of tho

lots, the appointment Of clerk, tho roturn
Of tho poll-books with the ballots, the whole
verified by the clerks, aud that tho judgea
and clerks should DO sworn, wcre all merely

omission would not vitiate an election. Wo
liad it decided nlso that tho fact TINT 60d0
fraudulent votes wero polled and counted on
Que sido could not change tho result, because
1000 fra1tlulont votes might nave been
Iollcd OH tho other side. Now We navo the

Tho latest explanation goos further and Do
clarcs that at an election for forty-two city
officers, to I'LL nj many Offices then vacant, 1t

and elect m entire City Government without

refuses to g;vo notice Of the election.
