Democratic Investigations Threatened.

The Boston Herald (Dem.) init
mates that the Democrats are prepar
ing to go into their old business of
investigating as soon as Congress
assemblies, and that two or three SUBJ
jects arealready indicated upon which
it is proposed to appoint nosing COM
mittees. Among these is the Star
route prosecution. However sharp
nosed the Democratic Investigators
may be they will find nothing in the
records of this corrupt and shameless
conspiracy to rob the Public Treasury
that has not already been made pub
lie by Republicans. They may criti-
else the time and money expended
upon their prosecution to no purpose,
but their criticisms will fall short in
indignation and intensity compared
with those already made by Repub-
licans. They may denounce the Star
route contractors and the officials
who connived with them to expedite
the service, but what can they tell
the people that is not already known?
They may hire the services of Dorsey
and Brady to tell what they know of
the prosecution and the money that
was thrown away upon it, but even
these men, urged on by revenge, can
not tell more than has already been
told. There is not a Republican pa
per in this country of any prominence
that has not pronounced the whole
Star-route business as rotten to the
very core, What more can Demo-
cratic Investigating Committee do :?
That any Democratic politician or
set of politicians is going into the in
Vestigation business as a matter of
abstract principle, or to satisfy any
promptings of honesty or virtue or

reform of Civil Service, or any other
service, will not be believed by any
one who has eyes to see or ears to
hear. Their only purpose is to make
hue and cry to influence the cleo
ton, and further than that there is no
danger that they will ever go. 10 Go
so would be to stultify themselves
and arraign their own policy ofspoils
and their pet theory of the place for
the man. Fortunately, in this policy
of investigation they will only over
reach themselves. Democrats have
instituted investigations before for
the sake of making electioneering
capital, but never have carried them
through to the end. There never yet
was an avenue of corruption which
Democrats sought to explore that
they did not find Democrats in it be-
fore they got halfway to the other
end of it. There never was muck
heap of infsmy. however small, but
an exploration of its contents would
find a Democrat somewhere in the
very centre of it, and usually one so
prominent that further exploration
would be abandoned. If the Demo-
cratic pseudo-reformers attempt to
investigate the Star-route business
they will find the Democratic features
of it long before they are fatigued
over the work, and may expect Re-
publican help that, as the Herald
says, will "smoke out some of the
Democratic participants in the frauds
whose connection with the contracts
caused the Democratic Postoffice Com
mlttee to hush the matter up in the
Forty-fifth Congress-"
There is no danger to be anticipa-
ted from Democratic Investigations.
There is no danger that they will
throw the boomerang that will in
eyitably return upon them with
crushing force Chicago Tribune.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
from our Regular Correspondence
NEW YORK, July Goth, 1888

NEW YORK, July Goth, 1883.
How amusing this Tilden scare is
at present. 1t is beyond doubt
that the veteran schemer of Grey
stone thinks that he has a mortgage
on the Presidency, but every other
man of prominence in the party is
in the position of a nephew of a rich
uncle, eager to knock him out, to
borrow phrase from the chaste Mas
sachusetts English of champion Sui
liyan. Kelly and TiIden are at pres
ent making coy advances towards
each other, but as neither trusts the
other the entente cordidle will as usual
end in a free fight. The Democratic
party at present is worse off so far as
1884 is concerned than it eyer was
before.
The expectations Of the Iowa DEM
ocrats that the dissensiOns in the Re-
publican camp, and the dissatisfac-
ton of the Germans would materially
aid them are now being found to be
beseless. The Germans of course are
the natural enemi.s of the temper
ance platform, and so are many good
Republicans. But the alliance of the
Democratic party with the liquor in
terest is so revolving that all self re-
speeding people must grow disguised
with the party.

The debatable ground in the above
is New York and Ohio. But consult
the list left to the Democrats, viz:

Any and all of the States put in
italics in the last above table is as
clearly ground for contest by the Re-
publicans as is New York and Ohio
for the Democrats. AS the Chicago
Tribune says:
1.-THE Republicans will struggle
hard to carry the States marked in
italics, and at this distance it is al
most inconceivable that they will fail
to win Colorado and Oregon, and the
chances are with them for Connecti-
cut and about even for California and
Virginia, with close shave for FIori-
ola and North Carolina. fan honest
election and fair count can be had in
South Carolina, Mississippi and Lou
isiana, the Republican ticket would
carry them with ease"
Ohio and New York may, there
fore, be spared, and the difference
made up to the Republicans by States
not counted in the first table.
The battle next year will be hard
one, and every State regarded as close
will be fought over foot by foot. OF
course our preferences more or less
affect our judgment, but we stoutly
incline to the view that the Republic
cans haYe the inside track.

The Legislature of Michigan has
passed an act to provide for instruct

q marvel Of beauty, and is perhaps one Of
the handsomest horses in a race that ever
trotted upon the American turf, having a
record of 2:174. He is large, finely pro-
portioned, and " as black as black can be. -
His hair is as fine as silk, and as soft as
velvet, his name and tail are long and
heavy, the latter almost touching the
ground. The noble animal passes into ex-
cellent hands. The purchaser, Mayor NJ.
v. Wagner, is not only an admirer and low
er of good horses, but is also a first-class
business man, of energy and enterprise.
He is a large manufacturer, and is the busi-
ness manager of the Voltaic Belt Co., of

tised. Black Cloud has been placed in the
hands of a noted Chicago driver, who viii
