STILL THEY CONF!

We announced recently that information had
been received by the Hon. f.. II. Apgar, Sec
rctary of the Democratic State Committee, and
by him officially promulgated, that 1.-TWO artists
lard one doctor" had declared for Tdcn and
Hendricks in Western Ncw-lork. While Mr..
Apgar is engaged in the clocutionary part of
his duties. we have no doubt he will be much
Obliged to MS if we keep tally for him of his
party's daily acquisitions. Has he head of the
deaf and dumb gentleman who writes to the
Democratic newspaper in this city that lie has
determined to vote for Iildcn One deaf and
dumb freeman brought to see the error of his
ways would not be overwhelming, but it is
little startling 10 learn from this cOmmunica-
ton that all the deaf and dumb voters of
New YOrl, City are decidedly the foes of Hayes
and Wheeler. At the announcement of fact
so curious, we are filed with philosophical spec
ulation, and find ourselves saying involuntarily,
Whyl wherclOrci for what rcason2 Prof.
Huxley has gone hOme and 50 we cannot ask
him; but if some of our numerous scientific
correspondents will tell us why an unfortunate
gentleman who cannot hear or talk should
therefore favor the election of Tilden and
Hendricks, it will give us pleasure to print the
rationale of the matter conspicuOusly. For our
part we do not believe word of it, We
don't believe that the deaf and dumb gentle
men are any such persons. We attribute the
statement to that spirit of rare and curious
brag which seems to have taken possession of
the Democrats, and which leads them to claim
the conversion of all sorts of folk. We are
still looking for something still more curious
We expect presently to be told that in some
far-Off and northumberland corner, all
the red-haired male population has bolted
from the Republican ranks, while in an
other place all the citizens between the
ages of twenty-seven and ffty-three have
gone and done likewise and mean to vote ac-
cordingly.
We have reason for this conjecture in

Yesterdays registration reaches a total Of
56,s29, against 31,OO6 on the first day of
registration last year. This marked increase,
nearly doubling last years figures indicates
either a sensible determination on the part
of citizens TO perform this important duty
promptly, or an exceptional interest in the
coming election. Probably both things may
be justly inferred from these figures 1t Is to
be hoped that the next day OF registration,
one week from to-day, will make as good
showing Some of the largest figures OF IN
crease are in very respectable districts of the
city, and we shall be glad TO believe that they
show a determination on the part of the better
class of our citizens to take more active part

People who are disappointed in the results of the
October elections will find great comfort in the
thought that a white whale has been captured and
put on exhibition at the Aquarium. 1t is proposed
TO give him liberal education and set him 10 draw
ing pleasure boats. THIS will furnish the whale
with employment sufficient TO occupy his mind and
reconcile him to the tank while it will serve also TO
amuse the public. They had an educated white
whale in Boston once which was so employed for
eighteen months without bubber; and Boston
took great delight in him.

THE TINE FoR TARlFF RETISION.

TIE TINE FOR TARIFF REFISION.
When the Morrison Tariff bill was under
discussion, The TRIBUNE expressed the hope
that action upon this matter might be de-
laycd until the next session of Congress,
so as to give the opportunity tor fuller con-
sideration of the interests involved. There Is
danger that in the excitement of the political
contest this opportunity may be lost. In that
case Congress will again assemble with as
little information before it as at the last ses-
sion, and if there should be any legislation OH
the tariff it is likely to be as crude and
ill-considered as that with which we were
threatened in the early part of the Sum
mer. A thorough knowledge of the interests
involved in any proposed changes is not to be
gained by hasty skimming in the committee
room, nor from the brief remOnstrances which
the representatives of various interests may
make before a committee. Still less is
proper conclusion likely to be arrived at by
log-rOlling process in Congress itself, when
one member secures consideration for his pet
measure in the Tariff bill by agreeing to support
the pet measure of another member. Some
notion as to the time and research really re-
duired may be formed from the statements
made by the National Association of Wool
Manufacturers i'll a letter dated March .25,

excuse for the employers who sent wOrkmen
into the oil-saturated hold with lighted candles;
but the evidence goes to show that this has
been the usual way, and therefore the verdict
is given that the firm having charge of the
work are in no wise blamable." Perhaps
to the average juryman the fact that
things have always been done in one way is
sufficient reason for continuing to do them
thus. The logic will be satisfactory to all ex-

unfortunate men who were killed. The recon-

DISPATCHES received up to a. m. do not
throw much more light on the result in Ohio
and Indiana. The intense excitement that has
characterized the campaign insured an un-
usually heavy vote in both States, which the
fair weather brought out. The time needed to
canvass the vctc is COTTeSpOndmgly heightened,
cspecially in Indiana, where there are more than
50 names in some counties on the same ticket.
While the probabilities are that both States are
Republican the returns are too meageT even
at this hour to Justify any positive claims.
1t seems rather to the disadvantage OF the
Democrats that the Republicans are more CON
fdcnt than the Democrats that they have car
ried Indiana the State upon which the Dem
ocrats have persisted in counting while the
latter are now claiming Ohio, i'll which they
had odds to contend against, and OF which later
returns would seem likely to rob them. The
Democratic claim of Ohio seems TO he founded
entirely upon alleged trumphs in Cincinnati
and Cleveland, both of which are denied by
the Rcpublicans, who claim the election of
MIR. Townsend over Mr.. Payne for Congress
bv &. 900 majority, and the election of Stan
lev Matthews over Gen. Banning. While no
definite figures of gains on Congrcssmcn can be
given. the reelection of Gen. Garfield il OF

had an unclouded view of the issue, and it was
greeted according to the report, with "crles
of good, bully and cheers" The issue was sui
in sight when Gov. Hendricks wrote his letter
of acceptance and was the subject of an elabo-
rate paragraph in which gentlemen and ladies'
from Asia were charged with great many lndlscre-
tions including notably an interference with the
Just rewards of labor" but since that time the
issue has euded detection. IL may be felonlous
business to revive dead issues, but II Is surely
piece of negligence to allow so lively and prom
sing an issue as this to lose itself. This careless
ness of the Democracy is the more culpable because
they had only three issues to keep track of That
part of their platform which consisted in about
equal proportions of 1--WE denOunce" and " he

the time. but all three of the pledges appear to

Mr.. Morrison, and the other philosophical free

Mr. Hendricks and no Democratic orator mOlests
him or makes him afraid. 1t does seem that party
which is trying to warm up the canvass with the
heterodoxy of Col. Ingcrsoll might utilize IN some
way the invasive paganism of these swarmng
Mong0llans.
This will certainly be the last of the days in which

see the supposed planet Vulcan in transit across the

certainty of the figures will make it desirable to

the present time there adyces Of the discoy-
cry of tie planet the hope of it must be seriously
diminished and most people will continue to disbe-
leve in Vulcan altogether.

1t is almost full generation since the Noun
tain Meadow massacre shocked the whole
country by its atrocities, and it was not until
yesterday that this tragedy, long since grown
painfully familiar, reached its final act IN the
sentence of John ID. Lee, a Mormon cOnspc-
nous in that bloody deed. 1t is strange incl
dent in its history that the chief Of the GRIM

The charges against the Superintendent OF
the New Capitol, on which Gov. Tilden has
ordered testimony to be taken, were made
some months ago, and then failed to make
any marked impression. Some of them were
frivolous, and the whole indictment seemed to
have the flavor of political or personal hos
tility. The testimony, however, taken before
Judge Van Alstyne, will show whether they
are well founded. Until this is shown, Mr.
Eaton is family entitled to a suspension OF
opinion.

YESrERDArS KLECTLOAS.

The returns from Onlo anu iHuh'ht h"''
come in so slowly and are so meager in re-
suits that at the hour of this writing we are
not only witaOut any absolutely decisive
figures i'm either state, but are without suflclent
data upon which to base any positive statement.
We can only give the probabilities III the
most general terms. The losses and gains on
either side follow no general rule, but vary
flom one side to the other i'll different local.
ties in such manner as to furnish no
satisfactory basis for calculations upon
the general result. The one feature OF the
news in which all good citizens OF both par
ties NAV find cause for cOngratulatlon Is the
absence. so far as we hear, Of any riOtous or
violent demonstration, or any serious DIS
turbance of the peace In view OF the
opprehensions that were felt on this
score, and the excited state of public feeling
the fact that the elections passed off quietly
j. something to rejoice over. The gentlemen
of both parties who took the necessary steps
to preserve the peace deserve much credit for
their sensible and judicious conduct III the
matter.
From the meager returns received, II Is
manifest that the paTtisans on either side VINO
predicted sweeping victory for themselves so
confidently were oyer-sanguine. Only they
who shook their heads grayely and said
both States were close end the result doubt
full have been as yet sustained in their
forocasting of the event. Our dispatches
ND to this hour leave the result in both States
in doubt rs to the general tickets, so much Ill
doubt that so far as State officers are CON
cerned, neither party can, with any safety,
claim a victory. Enough is known, however,
TO furnish evidence satisfactory and conclusive
that there is no such general desire for
change az has been claimed by the Democrats,
and that their reliance upon that is mistake.
1t seems certain that the Republicans have made
considerable gains in Congressman, and that the
tidal wave upon which the Democratic majority
in the present Congress was carried III has
been not only arrested but turned back to
some purpose. The contest has been fierce
and bitter, and the result seems from the
present outlook to be so near drawn
battle that the effect will only be
to spur both sides to greater effort
for the November struggle. Should later
returns be more favorable to the Republicans,
showing that they have carried both States by
even the most trilng majority, we believe 1t
will be decisive of the result Ill the
November election, for the Demo
Gratis have obviously risked all on a
desperate attempt to save one of them,
and the loss will thoroughly discourage
them. On the other hand, if they have car
ried one or even both States by small majorl-
ties-and it seems certain the majontleS
either way must he small-we believe the
Republicans, although necessarily disheartencd,
will rally with increased energy and dctcImi-
nation for the final encounter. 1t will hardly
be possible to get decisive returns from hoth
States before this afternoon, and possibly "A
day or two may elapSe before the question
will be finally settled.
