THE BUSINESS MEN AT WORK.

Il is evident that the business men at
the East are thoroughly awake to the
danger of a Democratic victory, and to the
nature Of the change" which can alone
he brought about by The success of that
party. There has never been time in the
history OF the country when all the repre-
sentatives of our material interests were
to be found SO solidly opposed to the
change proposed, or when they were so
profoundly concerned about it. As a rule
this class of men bestow far too little time
and attention upon politics, but this year
they realize the necessity of their active
participation in the canvass, and conse-
quently they are making themselves seen
and felt everywhere. a significant indica-
tion of the tendency of things is the pub
lication in the North american -Reuietc of
an address to the people, signed by a score
OF more of the most substantial merchants
and manufacturers of the Atlantic States
They say that the best interests of the
country demand a continuance of the ex.
listing conditions that no change possible
under Democratic rule could be other than
disastrous and that there is 10 ground
whatever for desiring any change. The
Democrats themselves have utterly failed
to establish any grounds for change the
business men declare positively that the
prospects of the country are now all that
can be desired; and consequently the
people will act upon these showinss, and
veto the proposal for new deal"

EXPECTING TO LOSE NEW YORK.

1t has been apparent for some time that
the Democrats are preparing for defeat in
New York city, and one of the surest indi.
cations of this is the desperation of their
attempts to create the impression that the
Republicans contemplate fraud there.
The fact is that John Davenport has taken
such thorough precautions that the usual
Democratic games are blocked, and the
registration of voters under fraudulent
naturalization papers, and the voting of
dummies and reporters, and all such de-
vices, have been forestalled. Seeing that
their main reliance was being taken away
by these means, the Democrats have been
trying to get Davenport removed. They
have trumped up charges against him, and
had him arrested, but he has had the law
on his side SO clearly that none Of the
Courts would hold him. Being unable to
effect anything in that way they have re-
sorted to vague charges Of fraud, and now
Mr.. Davenport has replied to them by
challenging Tammany to produce proof of
fraud, and by undertaking to stop it wher-
ever it may be pointed out. Tammany has
not replied to this challenge, and it is safe
to say that it will do nothing of the kind.
1t knows, and Davenport knows, where all
the great election frauds of the past have
been devised, and he is armed with all the
evidence, while they have no recourse
against his exposures. They will find it
necessary to abandon this dodge like the
Others, and as they are estopped from
stufing the ballot-boxes this year unless
they do it openly and by force, they evi-
IDENTIFY have little or no hope of carrying
the city as of old.

DEMOCRATIC TACTICS ON TIE CHINESE
QUESTION.

EDS. RECORD UNION: The Democratic
newspapers Of California, with the tacit APP
proval of the delegates sent from this State
to the Cincinnati Convention, have, with de.
liberation and persistence, suppressed the
most important part of the national platform
on the subject of Chinese immigration. AS
this plank has been published on this coast
and commented upon by the Democratic ora
tors (some of whom were at Cincinnati), the
National Democratic party resolved against
Chinese immigration except for the limited
purposes of trdrel and education. Yet when
the true Chinese plank is read as adopted by
the Convention, and which may be found
published in the campaign lives of Hancock
designed for Southern circulation, and in the
leading Democratic papers OF the East, the
suppressed words appear, and the words sup
pressed are Of such import as to allow Chinese
to come to this country to engage in trade
and traffic of every description. This is the
way the real document reads
Eleventh-An amendment Of the Buriingame
Treaty no more Chinese immigration, except for
travel, education and foreign commerce, and that
even carefully guarded.
As published in the Democratic newspapers
in California, and explained by the Demo-
cratic stump speakers, some OF whom are
necessarily cognizant OF the fraud, the bogus
section is made to read:
An amendment of the Burlingame
Treaty no more Chinese immigration, ex-
cept for travel and education, and therein
carefully guarded"
TIE concealment of the circumstance that
the National Democracy were willing that
the Chinese might come to this country for
commercial purposes, / suppose, was great
political necessity, ike the cipher dispatches,
and in the first instance made great lie by
telegraph necessary, followed by numerous
lies of the same nature from Democrats OF
| high social standing; and now the exposure
has come, other lies will be necessary. In
view Of such a possibility, advice is now
given that it viii not avail any Democrat to
claim that the suppressed word commerce !"
does not embrace buying, selling and trade
and traffic of every description. for, alas in
the year 1924 before any political unpless-
antness any where), the Supreme Court of
the United States, in the celebrated case of
Gibbon vs.. Ogden, reported in the ninth
volume of Wheaton's reports, at page 100,
determined that "commerce" was not neces-
EARLY limited TO traffic, to buying or selling,
OF the interchange of commodities, but en-
braced navigation, was equivalent to inter-
course, and described Ito use the language of
the Court " the commercial intercourse be-
tween nations and parts Of nations in all its
branches" Further comment is supeIsiuous.
Isn't it ARGYLE.

HANcocK's CORRESPONDENTS.

1t is said that his friends propose to
make Hancock write another letter, for
the purpose of convincing the country that
he really knows the difference between the
tariff and local option. In an interview
the other day he told Democratic re.
porter that the tariff was purely local
question, that the General Government
rarely intertered with it, and much more
to the same general effect. His idea that
the tariff is a local question has naturally
created much merriment, and now it is
said that he must write letter to show
the public that he understands the ques-
ton. Such device, however, will not
serve him or his party's turn. 1t is evil
dert that he spoke freely from the depths
of his Questionable ignorance when he ad-
dressed the Paterson reporter. or course
there are Democrats who know what the
tariff is, and some of them could write a
letter for him. But the country already
knows all it has to expect from his states
manship upon that important subject, and
it is not necessary to make it still palmer
that if ever he is called upon to express an
opinion on the question he win be obliged
to get somebody else to do it for him.
Moreover, it may be thought that he has
written too many letters already. His
hackers relied too much upon his judg-
ment when they gave him carte blanche.
There never was candidate who needed
more urgently to be condemned TO silence,
and the deprivation Of pens, ink, and paper.
