were only two other applicants for the posi-
ton, Guero and Peah, the former claiming
it by right Of promotion, being second in

fifty years old; he has considerable force OF
character, a large following, and had the
confidence Of Ouray to such an extent that
he was left in charge last winter during Gu

The truth about the negotiations
between the United States and China
for revision of the Burlidgame trea.
ty is that our government is trying
to get the better of the heather. and
does not exactly see how to do it.
Under the Burlingame stipulations
commerce and emigration are free,
and the citizens of either nation are
guaranteed full protection in the
other. Under the pressure of the
anti Chinese sentiment in this coun
try we want to restrict. emigration
without imperilling the valuable
trade we now transact with the EN-.
pire across the Pacific. But since the
Burlingame treaty was executed
reaction has taken place in China
from the liberal policy which promp-
ted that instrument, and now if any
change is to be made the Chinese
government desires not only to stop
its own subjects from leaving for
America, but also to close its ports
against our commerce in short, to
restore and enforce its ancient ex,
clusiyeness. We cannot obtain the
concession with regard to emigration
without opening up the treaty ques.
ton in all its entirety ; and there is
where they have us at disadvan-
tage, for China is profitable market
for some American products and
manufactures. A man with half an
eye open can see that the pagan di-
plomatists are no fools.

We did not leave our comfortable

personal qualification or notoriety.
We have heard the wall of children
for bread, and seen them, for want
of sufficient clothing, deprived of the
benefit Of pure open air, confined IN
the lOaths0me garnet, breathing the
same foetid air over and over again,
until their faces were blanched like
plants grown in cellar, and cOntin-

And we believe the much greater
proportion of all human suffering,
degradation, criine, and of the cul-
prits filling our prisons, is the result
of intemDerance and knowing the
mighty power invested in our Legis.
lature, and believing the members
now composing it to be feeling peo-

Blaine's Universal knowledge.

Assistant Secretary-of-State John
Hay is quoted by the The Leader of
Cleveland as saying that at dinner
not long ago with Senator Blaine he
felt more than ever that he had never
seen a man with such universal and
exact knowledge. Blaine was at
home ON every subject of converse
ton, whether it were of general or
special interest. With a learned ma
turaist he could discourse infinitely
and intelligently on the most abstract
theories of evolution. With physi-
clans he conld discuss the latest theo-
ries of disease, while his knowledge
of mechanics and chemistry was such
that he could explain the newest dis
coveries in electricity and the appli-
cation of steam. OF wit he was over
flowing. In literature he was copious
with criticisms and memories of the
authors. AS story-teller nobody at
the table could approach the perfec-
ton of Blaine. In Col. Hays esti-
nation not only was the Senator the
prince of politicians, but he was the
king of good fellows.

Mr., Bayard's standing AS a presi-
Dental candidate should be improved
by his action of Monday OF last week.
He reported favorably from the COM
mittee on the Judiciary the bill which
is designed to make it impossible for
Federal election officers to check
frauds on the part of State officers.
The bill provides that no marshal.
deputy marshal or supervisor shall
have power to arrest or imprisOn on
election day any election officer act
ing under an appointment derived
from a State law but it is stated that
ain arrest may be made at any time
after the close of election day, that is
to say, after the cheating is over.
This is noble bill, and ought to ST.
lence the traditional Democratic
complaint that Mr.. Bayard is really
a Republican at heart.

Mr.. Eugene Hale gives very in
teresting account Of the results of the
Maine legislative investigation into
the contingent frauds Of last win
tie. Among the most commcb deyi-
ces used by the Fusionists in marip.
ulating the election returns was that
of rejecting votes for Republicans on
the ground of irregularity in the
writing of names or initials. Then
they laid down rule that when an
initial was used instead of the first
name of candidate the vote should
be counted as if cast for another man,
but they took precious good care to
apply the rule only to Republican
candidates. Similarly.in Cases where
tritiing errors were detected in the
spelling of the last names of candi-
dates, as for instance the substitution
of Redlon for Redlond, the Fusion
lists rejected the vote for Redlon; but
in another case, where the Fusion
candidate was Mr.. Quimby and a
part of the vote was cast for Mr..
Quinby, they ignored their own rule
and counted the entire vote for the
former. A still more fragrant out.
rage was perpetrated through rul-
ing that the returns must be signed
by each of the town officers individ-
ually. They threw out the vote for
Republican representative on the
ground that the signatures attached
to the return seemed to have been
written by the same person. and, in
spite of affidavits from the several of.
ficers that such was not the case, re.
fused to alter their decision. Never
theless, they did not hesitate to re-
ceive the vote for Fusionist where
not only were the signatures appar-
emily in the same handwriting, but
where the town clerk actually adj
mitted that he had signed all the
names himself. Nor did they even
stop at this, for in several instances
thew themselves were found to have
altered the names or initials of Re-
publican candidates in order to Sc
cure pretext for throwing out their
votes. Mr.. Hale says that when the
committee had unearthed these
frauds and supposed they had faith.
omed all the crookedness of the gov
ernor's council, they discovered at the
last moment that it had the daring
to count out another Republican rep
resenta;ive by making a false footing
of the tabulated returns. This ex-
posture, it is needless to say has COM
pletely cut away the ground from
under the feet of the Fusionists ;and
as the constitutional amendment re-
curing only plurality, instead of a
majority, to elect a governor, will be
adopted and become operative upon
the returns of the September cleo
ton, repetition of the frauds per-
petrated last winter is not likely to
occur again.
