WE know no better source from which to
derive reasonable conjectures as to the vote
of the southern states than from prominent,
intelligent, independent Republicans. Col
onel Alexander Mcclure, of the Philadelphia
Times, is not only disinterested in his views,
but he is reliable, so far as honest
Judgment based upon close inspec-
ton, is concerned. He says that "New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut
are reasonably certain to be Hancock states. "
He further says: II put down Pennsylvania
quite as certain for him (Hancock) as Ohio
is for Garfield" When we take dispas-
sionate look at the votes of New York in
1876, and since, it is not all chimerical to sug.
gest that Hancock will get all those states.
Hayes only beat Tilden in Pennsylvania
1884 votes, though last year the ..Republi.
can majority was 2s,9l2 over all, but tina,

vote being 10,O46 greater than the Republic

THE st. Louis Republican says; "Lieaten-
nt-General Phil Sheridan seems to be in
perfect harmony with Grant and Sherman
about the nomination of Hancock. He was
met by Chicago acporter Thursday, and IN
response to question as to his opinion
about the nomination of Hancock, he an
swered; am not in politics, but General
Hancock is a good and great man. The
Democrats have not made any mistake this
time. They have nominated an excellent
and q strong ticket" On the day that
General Hancock was nominated for presi-
dent an associated press agent at Washing
ton called on General w. 7. Sherman for his
opinion. General Sherman replied: 81 am
not a politician, and express no opinions on
politics, but if you will sit down and write
the best thing about General Hancock, as a
soldier and gentleman, that can be put in
language will write my endorsement to it."

Some Other Facts about the Census OF
nnlInu

Some other Facts about the Census OF
Dallas.
To the Editor OF the Herald,
Yesterday afternoon the superintendent OF
tie census now being taken in our city re-
marked that the enumerators have about
finished their work and that the sum total Of
our population footed up about 10000. In
no spirit of acrimony or the remotest desire
to question the motives or impeach either
the intelligence or the integrity Of the gen.
tlemen having this grave matter in charge,
wish to call attention to some facts. In "Mor-
rison & Fourmy's General Directory of the
city of Dallas for lssOsl," compiled in the
month of April last, appears the following
significant paragraph: "The directory
for 1888 contained 4,ll2 names,
averaging a population of 1882 with
in the city limits. The present
one contains 5.19i names, and allowing 81
inhabitants to name, which, by comparison
with our actual count, provesa correct ratio,
we have population of 1888; thus show
inc an increase Of 1852 names, or 3,7S7 in
habitants in the past two years. In larger
and more settled cities in the old states, a ra-
tic of a is conceded proper, but in cities like
Dallas. where the unsettled and floating pop.
ulation is so great, consisting principally OF
single men, it is impossible to admit OF a
greater ratio than that allowed by ourselves.
| In our present increase of names weinclude
number of those doing business in the city,
hui residing Immediately out of the limits
Now the names printed in the directory
who are "immediatsly out of the limits"
find are those of men who folio"
daily avoc1tions within the corporate limits.
They do not exceed 100, representing pop
ulation of $50 souls. Deduct this $50 from
1919, and we have l7,720 as the population
lon Dallas within the corporate limits. A:
TO the ratio, 81, it is none too high. St
Louis and Chicago, places 1t at 4; Boston, b
Nashville, 6; New Orleans, AZ, and indeed
81 il the lowest / ever saw. And as to the
correctness of this directory, so far as 1t;
nsmes 90, there is simply no ground for dis,
nate. They are there, their business and
place of residence, and if any mistakes
ware committed by the compilers of the di
rectory, it must have been in the omission
instead of the substitution OF names And
10 still further illustrate the absurdlty OF the
exhibit of this city only having 10,SeO popu,,
iption. II we only multiply B, l94 by D, and
The result will be 1852. There is something
radically wrong about this business, and
trnst Il will be corrected before 1t is too late

LOOKING over the majorites of the north
ern states for TildeA in 1876, we find that of
New Jersey to have been 12445, and last year
in New York, when the party was divided
and thousands of Democrats, because of
party divisions, absented themselves from
the polls, the combined Democratic vote was
4,7S9 in excess of the Republican vote. In
November, the party wounds being healed,
the majority will be not less than $4,000.

THERE has been in the past few days no
little interest manifested in purported inter
views with General Grant published in some
of the papers of the country. In an inter-
view had before the Cincinnati convention
met General Grant isreported to have said
that he had always been Democrat and had
never changed his views. That he was elect
ed president twice by the people as he con-
sidered 1t and that when president recognize
ing the Democratic doctrine that
to the victors belonged the spoils,
he had appointed Republicans to of
flee because that was the dominant
party. He claimed that in all his public doc
uments he had never written anything to
conflict with Democratic principles His
treatment Of the south had merely been in
the execution Of the law, he did not make
many of which he thought unjust. This in.
terview has never been denied. A purported
subsequent interview wherein he is reported
as having said taat he would support Han.
cock he denies 70 that extent, though he ad,
mits saying that Hsncock's nomination wa,
1udicious and that he believed he would b,
elected. He has never said he would vot,
for Garfield.

The Custer Statue.

OF MacDonald's statue of Gen. Custer
the generals widow says: "The face is a
man of 60 years, and the dress SO unmilitary
that his brother officers shudder in looking
at it. He is represented with full dress
coat and top boots that only belong to un-
dress uniform. The whole costume is in
congruous and incorrect. Then, he is
armed, like desperado, in both hands,
while some of the generals best charges
were made with no firearms about him.
/ realize that am the last one on earth
to be sarisfied with any represcn-
tation of nv husband. Nothing
conld portray to me in any
form, my idea of him. But his friends in
civic life, his comrades in the army, and
artists, all have but one story to tell-that
the statue is failure as a likeness, as the
representation of a soldier, and as work of
art. You know what intense individuality
General Custer had. His quick movements,
his active step, his riding, the very way he
wore his clothes, were SO totally unlike any
one else, he could not fail to be well re-
presented if man of genius once tried to
represent him. 1t seems as if ! could not
endure the thought of this wretched statue
being repeated, and hope that your voice
may influence those upon whom the deci-
sion rests"
