North, the Democratic party has been striv-
ing for years to secure their repeal, so that
they may carry by fraud the cities of New
York, Albany, Brooklyn, Trenton and New
ark, in New Jersey, and Hartford, in Con-
necticut. Look at It in the South for mo-
ment. In Alabama, in 1872, the Republican
vote was 81. 600; in lsIs It nothing. In 1872,
In Arkansas, the Republican vote was 4l 373 !;
in 1878 IL was ll6. In 1872 Mississippi had a
Republican vote of 1s2, III; in 1878 IL had ll6.

result? Can IL have been Tilden's literary
bureau that has converted all the negroes? I
hardly think 30. Because Tilden's literary
bureau could have hardly increased the pop

When men are driven from the polls and pre-

GRAIN BLOCKADE.

Tho Elevators of Chicago Cramrned with
Grain-A Suspension of Receiving Neces-
sary.
CHICAGO, Jan. 1O.-A grain blockade of
prodigiols proportions is feature of the
grain trade in this market at present. The
elevators of the city, which contain an ag-
gregate of sixteen million bushels, are very
nearly filed to their utmost capacity, and
several roads are refusing to receive grain
for this market, because when it arrives
there are no accommodations for it. In this
condition of affairs the directors of the
board of trade are considering the propriety
of accepting as regular, receipts in elevators
and store houses along the lines of various
railroads. 1t is also in contemplation to
elevators, and to build new elevators in
bers of cars are lying along the tracks in
the city loaded with grain and unable to de-
posis. There are in storage eight million
bushels of wheat, four million bushels of
corn, and enough other grain to make to-
tai of fourteen and quarter millions
against total of ten millions at this time
last year. There are also about million
bushels afoat in the harbor. The elevators
outside of the city and tributary to it are
generally well filled, some of them over
crowded. For this condition of affairs the
only explanation is that the grain syndicate
of which Jas. r. Keene is the representative
have by constant purchases forced the
market price of wheat i'll this city to point
where it is dead loss to ship it to New
York. and to point where it cannot be
shipped from New York to Liverpool even at
the prevailing low rates of ocean freight,
with any prospect of a return Of money in
vested. Unless prices in Liverpool advance
very materially or decline here something
like twenty cents per bushel, there will be
no shipping margin and the grain blockade
will continue; meantime the farmers are I'M
able to find q market for their grain, al
though prices are to their liking. The out
come of this unprecedented situation will be
watched with much interest.

THE STROUSE FIXTURE.
The Fight over the So 1 ,OOO-Seme Serious
Charges Made.

The Fight over the SOL ,OOO-Seme Seriou
Charges Made.
1t will be remembered that the Strouse stool
of goods was sold by Sheriff King for $5l. OO
to satisfy claims of creditors in whose favo
judgments had been confessed. Other credit
ors then enjoined to prevent the payment ant
the money remains in the hands of the court
Yesterday the matter came up before Judg,
Brill on motion to show cause VIII,
the niu notion should not be dissolved, G. ID
O'Brien appearing for the judgment creditors
Rogers & Rogers for A. Il. Strouse, Otis & Oti
for L. s. Jaffrey & Co., md Durham, Buckley
& Co., Walter Sanborn for H. B. Claflin & Co.
and Mr.. w. P. Warner for Warner, Peake g. Co
Mr.. Otis claimed that in few days the,
would produce evidence of fraud which woulo
show the judgment creditors were not entitled
to the money. They expected to show that s
81. Strouse had one thousand dollars in the I'm
porters and Traders bank of New York, and
that when he learned that the failure would be
litigated, he said to Solomon Knickerbocker
NOW we have got to fix up the check books
The judgment creditors were too anxious, and
would let the other creditors whistle if they
got this money. Some letters had been found
torn up in the waste basket that were incul.
pating, and they were being put together
There were also CIPHER letters which were being
investigated.
Mr.. O'Brien asked the dissolution of the in
junction, and stated that the claims made
by counsel were mere assertions, and
not supported by afidavits. The cy-
pher letters he treated as absurd.
If they were true the parties were certainly
allied with the spirit of darkness. They did
not only know that Jaffrey's man was in st.
Paul, but they also knew exactly what he was
doing. In April they knew to a certainty what
Mr.. Rogers would advise in October. The posi-
ton taken was ridiculed by counsel as utterly
without force and absurd.
MIR. Rogers combat led the idea that St,ouse
had deposited $4,000 in the Importers and
Traders bank just before the failure. The
statement was absurd, and it was not good
faith to hazard it unless backed by an examina-
ton of the books of the bank.
Mr.. Warner referred to the letters which had
been found in the waste basket and were now
in course of reconstruction, by which it was ex-
pected to prove the cyphers. After prolong-
ed discussion, the case was continued for one
week.
