$4,000 to a Republican newspaper for APP
| nlaudinp il. and then negotiated for the pur-
chase of one of the other electors. at the price
of S5. 600. in order to avoid trouble. This OF
course was in order to prevent Mr.. Hayes
from getting tho vote of Oregon by a techni-
| cality. IL was for the same purpose also that
Mr.. Cropin, having organized himself into an
electoral college, proceeded to fill vacancies I'D
his own body, and assembled in this way three
entlemen assuming to be electors without
having been elected. one having been defeated
at the polls and the Others never voted for at
all. 1t is a melancholy illustration of the cor
rupt tendencies of Republican politics that the
COMPROMISE Commission will doubtless refuse
to see this protest against technlcallty III the
proper light, and insist upon giving the votes
of Oregon to the party which had the popular
majority.
While the proposals for "buying Republic
"can elector" were going on by telegraph pe-
tween Gramcrcy Park and Salem, several
negotiations of somewhat similar character
seem to have been in progress at Ncw-Oreans.
We have heard a great deal about the at
tennis of Gov. Wells to sell himself. and the
ATTEMPTS of various people to buy Gov. Wells,
and if is not at all clear how many OF the
stories ought to be believed. When Doth SIDES
however. are found in agreement we may
safely conclude that we have got Mt the truth.
Tins there is no sort of doubt that Mr.. Dun

Orleans bargained with Mr.. Wells about sell
ING the electoral vote of Louisiana to Iilden

the attempted bribery and Kenner admits IT,

bile persons being as to which party began the
negotiations, and why they fell through. Inc

ner saws, No, he was too dear. But whichever
il NAV have been, the fact is patent that the
business was for some time under discussion,
and that Democratic statesmen were very
anxious to obviate all danger of technically
by purchasing in Louisiana the vote which MIR.
Tilden lacked.
Under these circumstances, how lamentapie Is
the bigotry of the Electoral Commission In
adhering to narrow technical rules when give
Mr.. Tildcn no more than the votes he won IN
November If he had succeeded in completing
his purchase in Louisiana, or been allowed TO
reap the fruit of his purchase in Oregon, we
should have seen by this time the beginning
of that " immediate reform" IN Federal offices
| and "infected States" winch the st. Louis
platform held out to view as the great object
of the Democratic party. But the Commission
of Fifteen refuses to transfer to Mr.. Tilden
the vote which he has bought and paid for,
and so Reform is postponed Mr.. Hayes goes
into the Presidency on a technicality, and we
| must submit for another term to the despotism
of laws and votes.

how close il is, there is no use in making
fuss and being ridiculous If you lose.
In the matter of the Presidential election,
Mr.. Tilden has played an uncommonly good
game. He came very near winning it, III he
had made any one of two or three line "
plays he would have come out ahead. But he
lust missed in each case. If "nears" had
counted, he would have won beyond all ques-
ton. But they don't And because they don't
il seems To us the Democrats who are trying
to make a fuss about it make mistake
There is no process under the Constitution by
which in playing their little game for the
Presidency they can count %nears." They
could not find any way to do it even through
the Electoral Commission. 1t is hard of
course : very melancholy. Here stands and has
stood for three months great political party,
with its mouth wide open for wonder and
hunger, staring at the figures 1S4 and trying
to make 1876 out of them. " So near and yet
$50 farr And all this time they have
been thinking how near Mr.. Tilden came
10 carrying Florida and South Carolina
and Louisiana; how near he was to pick
ing up the odd vote in Colorado, how near
he came to it in Oregon, how close vote 1t
has been in the Commission, and how near he
has come to having everything upset by that
Tribunal 40 that in the confusion he might
pick up q vote Nears Nears!! Always just
about so near, but missing it every time; al
ways Coming within one OF it,"
Yet why repinei Why get excitedP Why

and accepted the situation without murmurf
There was the wellknOwn case OF the man who
expected a letter and "came within one OF

but we have never heard that he. made row
about it. Then there is always the man who
comes within one of drawing the first prize in a
lottery, and the man whose wife comes within one
of having twins and-well, there's no need OF
citing illustratiOns-the world is full OF them.
There is only one man, however, of whom it
can he said at so many turns in the game that
he came within one of being President OF
the United States. But he also came
within one of being married man, and there
seems something like a fate in it. Now
let the Democrats who have lost this
game by so small Margin and are
consequently calling for "new DEAL"
console themselves with the reflection
that they came nearer winning with
Mr. Tilden than they have with any one else
for the past sixteen years; that upon the
whole he made Grst-rate run, and that if he
hadn't just missed at two or three points he
would have won. Let them hand over the
stakes with words to that effect and we have
not the slightest doubt that the winners in
this, as in the case cited above, will respond
with the greatest good nature, eyes, if 'nears'

TURKISH REACTION-AND VAR.

Where is that "mateTial effect upon the
"cOnditiOn and government OF Turkey"
springing from 90 general agreement among
" the European Powers" the promise of which
Lord Beaconsfeld put into the mouth of the
Queen, at the opening of Parliament Gone
in the wind utterly blown away by the
two changes in the Viziership which have since
occurred and the ominOus hints of greater and
more tragic movements contemplated at Con-
stantinople. With Edhcm Pasha the reaction
in Turkey made its first stand with Mahmoud
Damad, it threatens to achieve complete
victory. "Reformsr and guarantees have
become mere tcmpOrizing words in the speech
of the Ottoman Government. The position of
Russia-and, we may add, of the English
Liberals-is fully justified; for the attitude OF
Turkey toward Europe has now become
contemptuous as well as defiant. Were none
of the plenipOtentaries at the Conference
acute enough to discover the truth What
sort of diplomacy is that which, after having
been so long occupied with the consideration
not yet learned the nature of the race with
which it deals
There is now no alternative for Russia ex-
CeDt War-Or u UlSPTdCtlul dulllSSlOu vi inca
pacity. We do not believe she will accept the
latter. Her military preparations prove to be
more thorough and extensive than was sup
posed and while she says nothing of any con-
sequence officially, she seems to be steadily
opening the way for an advance of her armies
The Immediate change of gauge on the Rou
manan railways is the most significant sign
which has yet been given. The sums invested
in this and other forms of preparation are not
meant to be thrown away: they must first
yield their political dividend. We are now in
formed that the Powers will reply to Prince
GOrtchakOif's circular although it was not di-
rectly addressed to them. The purport of their
reply, if rightly reported, is already obsolete.
Turkey unmakes history faster than "the
powers" can make it in these days. Either
with q fatal blindness of vision, or with q
desperate courage forced upon her by sup
pressed internal revolution, she is playing
directly into the hands of Russia. Even if the
latter has not seriously desired war, she can
not avoid it now. War in the East is rs much
certainty as it can be before the first cannon
is fred.

U-JyNTNC RY TECUNICALITIES


II is a dreadful thing that President Of
the United States should be elected by tech
nicaIity. The great fear of the friends OF Mr..
Tilden, ever since it was discovered that their
man lacked only one vote OF victory, was
lest Mr.. Hayes, by some narrow interpreta-
ton of musty statutes, should prevent their
getting that vote, and thus secure the victory
for himself Nothing, they declared, could be
more disgusting than the spectacle of Re
publican candidate winning his election by the
opcration of rules of law instead OF the pre-
ponderance of ballots. Hence, since the cast
ing of the popular vote i'll November, they
have bent all their energies to the EXCLUSION
from the contest of everything in the shape OF
technically. every scheme for interfering
with the popular will, every secret and doubt
full device for changing the result as an
nounced by the figures of the canvass.
Their first operations were in Oregon. Dis
covering in that State some reason to question
the eligibility of Republican elector who had
received large majority of the votes they
persuaded the Governor to refuse him GER
tGcate, and give the place to a Democrat
whom the people had emphatically rejected at
the polls. TO carry out this plan they trans
ferred considerable sums of money from New
York to Oregon, paid $4,000 10 Mr.. Cronin

" worth fully $4,000, OOo," though

alone is "worth fully $20,000,0O0," though
he modestly enters only $S,532,S 73 30 as It's
cost. We all know that real estate, ana
especially coal lands, have risen fully 10 per
cent in value within few yearsl Mines,
boats, barges, and steamboats,, fixtures ana
equipments, are put in at "cost," and we sup
pose that such things never wear out. sup
"ples on hand at machine shops" not includ-
ing coal, are valued at 81 1919, 604 S8-about
IS per cent Of the entire cost of running all
railways leased for whole year. Greater par
ticularity let us not ask where ignorance is
bliss tits folly to be wise.
In the matter of bonds and stocks, how
ever, the statement rises to sublime impu-
dence. Boston, Hartford and Erie bonds are
put in at S1,254,268 SO, or SSl2 cents on the
dollar Several people in the Street wouid DO
glad to get - for them. The latest quotation
was "I5 asked.n Albany and Susquehanna
bonds and stocks are put in at par, ana
Rensselaer, and Saratoga stocks also, and New
York and Canada stocks at about 30 cents,
though the latter have no discOverable market
value, and it is confessed that these roads are
losing money, and their securities are pracu-
cally valueless excepting by reason OF the
guarantee of the Delaware and Hudson, ana
nobody knows how many days Delaware and
Hudson may escape receiver Advanced
"royaltiesn are called an asset ut 1921, 179 ~,
which amounts to this that the company has
been compelled by its leases to pay that sum
for coal which it does not yet want because 1T
cannot SELL Finally, "advances to leased
&" lines payable in stock or bonds" amount to
1927, 800 SO, and the stakeholder who re-
joices at this valuable asset ought to go out
Immediately and buy more stock. For the
company can be "dead sure" of one thing, II
of nothing else-that this class of its assets
will increase rapidly. In fact nobody can
guess how large it will become, in time.

NEARS DON'T COUNT.n


We commend to our Democratic friends who
seem to be under some excitement just now on
account of the proceedings of the Electoral
Commission the example Of the philosOphic
person who bet on the wrong player in bill
lard match. "Twas a very even game" said
he as he paid over the money and tried to look
cheerful "My man played well: if he hadn't
"just missed two or three fine shots he'd have
"won." "Ycs," drily responded the winner
as he fobbed the stakes, eff 'ncars' only counted
in this game the money'd be yours. But they
"don't count" 1t isn't usual for losers
at any game to console themselves, as this one
did with the thought that even though he
didn't win he came very near to it. On the
contrary, the closer the game and the nearer
they come to winning, the more dissatisfied
tbcy are mt losing. Doubtless this is because
thew have built up so high on their prospects
that they feel the fall and the disappointment
more. Still il seems TO us TO be much more
cheerful and reasonable philosophy to pluck
ND comfort and consolation from the thought
that fate or circumstance or skill, or what
ever it was, did give some chance OF winning;
that the game was not desperate from the very
start, and that upon the whole the chances were
so evenly balanced that an adverse result III
wolves no reflection upon the losers shrewd-
ness or sagacty. Whether the game he bill
lizards or draw poker, base ball or humble
" the-peg;" whether it be horse race, a
Presidential election, or what not, no matter
