The bill granting women the right of suffrage
in washington Territory appears to bo IN
fair way to become law. Wyoming and Utah
now have woman suffrage, but the operation OF
theta in those Territories has not been such rs
to make it desirable to extend the act elsewhere
Washington Territory will be knocking al inc
doors of Congress next winter for admission aS
q State, its population now being about n'c
times greater than that of Oregon when II was
organized as State.
Evidently the attempt to run the canals Ill the
interest of the Cleveland Manning Democfauc
machine is a failure. Boatmen along the line
of the Erie Canal are making loud complaints OF
Superiutendent Shanahan's mismanagement A

II the Governor can spare the time from

The reports daily received by the Republican
State Committee, of the progress of the canvass
show feeling throughout the State that
promises well for Republican success. A letter
received from Niagara County yesterday says
that the deal" between the Democratic or
ponizations in this city has Disguised many
Democrats. That be the must effect OIL Sncn
a dsgraceful bargain, the full result Oh
which will only be apparent when the next
Board of Aldermen comes to vote on the hoILl-
nations submitted to it for important CITY
offices. When Democrats like Edward cooper
and John Z. Develn denounce Tammany Ian
as a corrupt and boss-rdden organization one
day, and Immediately turn around and support
its candidates for high Offices, 1t Is time Ior
honest country Democrats to become disguised
The Democratic candidate for Mayor OF
Brooklyn has at least one merit that OF Deihg
unknown. That is an advantage which BOSS
McLaughlin's candidates do not generally have
In fact, heretofore they have been too wei
known. Mr.. J. c. Hendrix, who is nominated
"a the opponent of Mayor Low, has been re-
portcr on a Democratic newspaper for many
wears. That will hardly be a sufficient recon-
meudation to the voters of Brooklyn. They
will undoubtedly prefer the tried ability ana
experience Of Mayor Low, who has given
/ BROOKLYN the best administration 1t has ever
had since it became an important city. Had
not Mayor Lows election been almost a fore
gone conclusion Boss Mclaughlin would prob
ably have selected some other candidate than Mr..
J, c. Hendrix. One noticeable feature OF the two
Democratic conventions in Brooklyn yesterday
was the complete control lin which Boss
| Mclaughlin holds the party there. The effort
of the jefferson Hall Democrats to purify the
party in Kings County has proved even worse
fzzle than that of the County Democracy In
Ncw-York. No doubt the Ring Democrats VIII
resort to every conceivable device to defeat Mr.
Low. rs this is about their last chance to fasten
themselves again on the city treasury. The
! taxpavcrs who believe in an honest and eco
uomical administration of local affairs should
use every effort to secure the defeat OF Boss
McLaughIn's ticket.
