If the Democrats can carry New York.
New Jersey and Ohio this year the result
will be generally regarded as a decision
Of the Presidential contest in their favor.
If they should also capture Pennsyl-
vania, this would end the matter.
What is the outlook for this year in
these four States? The New York Sun
answers thus: The New York Republi-
cans are trying to compromise their long,
standing controversies. but a united De-
mocracy, with a good ticket, would
undoubtedly be successful. The cleo
ton Of a Democratic Governor in New
Jersey by a handsome majority is con-
ceded by candid Republicans.
In Ohio the tide is setting in favor
of the Democrats; indeed, with their
excellent ticket and platform. their sue
cess is pretty certain. If Ohio goes
Democratic in October, New York and
New Jersey will follow in its wake
with large majorities in November, while
the Republicans Of Pennsylvania, weak
ened by discussions. may perhaps share
the fate of their brethren in Ohio.
These are victories worth fighting for.
The Democrats Of these four States
have an opportunity this Fall to de-
termine the great national struggle Of
1884.

The stalwart and half-breed factions OF
the Republican party. in their Sissd rage
and ~irreconcilable hate Of esch other,
have trampled upon propriety and made
aecency ashamed. They have not hesi-
tated to lay violent hands on the most
revered characters, and they have, in
their malignant fury, fcully besmirched
regulations, which. but for their assaults
would have stood as models for coming
generations.
Every man who has ventured to the
front on either side has been saiuted
with repeated discharges from the mud
batteries of the opposition. Scandal has
had a grand carnival, and the ghouis
shat fatten on the remains of murdered
regulations have had their hideous appe-
tites stated.
Not even the shroud, the coffin and
narrow house-not even death IN his
most awful formulas proved . sufficient
barrier to check the waves Of this fierce
storm Of passion. The statesman whose
way into the Presidential Office was
bought by both factions in 1850, and
who fell . victim 70 the renewed fight OF
these factions in 1881, was scarcely laid
in the tomb at Cleveland before his MEM
orv was assaulted-was dragged into the
arena to be reviled and de6led by his po-
litical brethren.
And not a week goes by in which
some Republican paper does not hint at
or openly produce the story that Gen.
Garfield sold a place on the Supreme
Bench to Jay Gould for a hundred
thousand dollar contribution to the cam
paign fund Of 1880.
Is it not time for this war to cease !
Cannot the leaders Of the party be made
to understand that they have almost
sinned away the day of grace-sinned
almost beyond forgiveness liz their whole
sale d~ebauchery of public sentiment!
They have elected to great Offices the men
whom they, not their opponents, had
branded with dishonor. They have Sc
lected as special objects of their favor
men whom they had proven unfit for
any honor-ft only for contempt. Thus
they have educated the rising genera
ton in the theory that a bad name is no
handicap to a statesman; that "a good
name is not rather to be chosen than
great riches"
For these and many other reasons
equally good it is unfortunate for the
country, particularly unfortunate on
the score Of public morality, that the
factions insist on continuing their fierce
and furious fight.

Bangle charms are now tiny books, back

Large fans continue in favor, and pro-

Jeweled stick fans are in favor among

CoxrsDERArE BOND FRAUD.

Intelligent people must know that the
purchase Of Confederate bonds by dealers
can be effected for no other purpose than
that Of aiding fools to part with their
money. All the Confederate securities
in existence could not be sold for q brass
farthing were it not for the credulous
people in this and other lands who may
be duped with them. It is reported that
brokers at Richmond are buying all kinds
Of Government bonds, and the demand
i more brisk than it has been ct any
previous time since the war. One firm
i said to have bought more than $20.-
600, 600 of the worthless paper, and
North Carolina wal bonds have just
been sold 1t auction At y per $1,000.

Death From a strange Cause.

On the 10Th instant Mrs. Mary Kelly of
the town Of Sutro, while eating hersupper,
got a piece Of mutton chop stuck in her
throat. During eight days all efforts to
remove the obstacle failed, and the woman
was unable to swallow food. Night before
last she came to this city, when DR.. Har-
ris pushed the bit OF meat down into the
stomach. She appeared to be getting
along all right, but about 10 O'Clock yes-
terday morning she was observed to turn
black in the face. and soor after died
The superstition is that the obstacle which
had SO long rested in her throat produced
Inflammation and q swelling which choked
her to death.

Undoubtedly an effort is to be made to
spread the belief among the ignorant
that in some way the Government is to
be compelled to pay the Confederate
bonds, and SO dealers in them expect to
derive a handsome profit by peddling

NASHVILLE, TEsS.. July 1.-THE Jury
was sworn in the Polk trial to-day and the
examination Of the States witnesses was
commenced. Robert Campbell, formerly
chief clerk I'm the Comptroller's Office
Isaac ReyeI, present chief clerk In
the Secretary OF States Office, and James
g. Fleming, former clerk OF ex.Treas-
urer Polk, were examined. The latter's
testimony was full and explicit. He stated
he was simply an employee Of the ex.Trea-
surer, and paid out money as ordered by
his employer. He said that in April, 1881,
when the investigating committee was APP
pointed ut the special extra session Of the
Legislature to examine Folks accounts
In order to meet the deficit result
ing from the de!alcation Of $500, 1000, that
Polk deposited a number OF fictitious
drafts on various State repositories to
make good the amount. When the eX-
animation was over, and the accounts were
passed on by the committee, he withdrew
his drafts and gave his check for
them, and so Strengthened his books. The
deficit increased to January, 1883, when it
amounted TO some S260,000. Polk then
left the State for Mexico. Witness denied
all knowledge OF the missing United States
bonds, amounting to So, 1000, and claimed
he never saw nor heard OF them until after
Polk left the State.
The examination Of Fleming will be re-
sumed tomorrow.
