Boston is having Postmaster contest as
well as Portland, The present Postmaster.
Mr.. E. S. Tobey, is candidate for reap

Only Two Reliable States Left.
New York SUM-

The Judgment of sober men will be that in
the present temper of the public mind neither
New York nor Connecticut nor New jersey
nor Indiana can possibly be carried upon the
free trade programme. Louisiana will certain
ly vote against it, and Georgia and North Car
DINA will do likewise. Indeed, the only States
that can surely be relied upon to give Demo-
cratic majority under such circumstances are
Kentucky and South Carolina. Since the bat
tie is arrayed, let us have it earnestly waged
and the victory fairly determined. We had
hoped that it might be postponed till after the
government itself had been returned, but it is
now imuossble

Current Comment.
Let the Tariff Fight Begin.
RJa.~ Uo,fr Co.

Let the question of a tariff strictly and ex-
clus,vely for revenue, or a tariff with incident
al protection, be fully debated before the coun-
try, and let us have a vote. Let us have a vote
frat in Congress, and then a vote in the DEM
ocratic party in the choice of delegates to the
National Convention. And then, il the policy
of tariff for revenue only prevails in the House
of Representatives, and If it next prevails in
the election of delegates to the National Con-
vention, let us have final vote at the Presi-
dental election. Till the subject is thus dis
posed Of, there is little hope of again reass ert-
ing the vital principles of Democracy or of re-
storing the government of the country to their
guidance.

Probably the New York taxpayers will ex-
perience no great difficulty in turning out
the rascals who have succeeded in swinaling
the city out of about $6,e0O,0OO. Even the
corrupt voters of that city have little SYM

enough to cover up their villainy. But after
the rascals are turned out arises the much
more difficult problem how to keep other
rascals from coming in. Until this problem
is solved New York tax payers will continue
