INDEPENDENT BULLDOZING.

1t should not be forgotten that it is not the
Republican party that is engaged in the
ridiculous attempt to keep the country in a
turmoil by disputing the election of Mr.. Cleve-
land. 1t is only little group of unscrupu-
lous politicians, including and led by Mr.
Blaine and Mr.. Elkins, who, having got into
prominent positions, and having everything
to gain and nothing to lose by their conduct,
are abusing their connection with the party.
The soberer leaders of the party and the great
body of its members have no sympathy and
little patience with these adventures.
York Times
Whatever may be the result of the canvass
now progressing it will be recorded that the
independent Republican and Democratic press
has offered every obstruction possible to pre-
vent fair inspection of the returns in the
manner prescribed by law They act exactly
as though some rascality had been committed
in the interest of Cleveland, and they were
anxious to conceal it, or to prevent its dis
covery, by system of general bulldozing
never before attempted in the North. From
the very moment that the Republicans
asked careful inspection of the returns, and
promised to abide by the result legally ascer-
tanned, Democrats have yelled themselves
hoarse against the Outrage and the fraud"
contemplated. What is the matter with these
fellows, that they dread investigation And
what is the matter with journals of presumed
responsibility like the New York Times, that
they feel compelled to resort to billingsgate
and to denounce Mr.. Blaine as an adventurerg

Justice Mr. Blaine as their candidate, and
as the representative of their wishes, owes it
to them to insist upon his rights, which are
likewise theirs. The mistake has been made
to swear at the Republican committee, as
though it stood alone in the demand for an
honest account of last weeks balloting. So far
from the demand being so circumscribed,
it is quite safe to say that great majority,
not plurality, of the people are anxious to see
who is fairly entitled to the presidency, which
question, once settled, they will periodically

THE NEW YORK COUNT.

So far as heard from, there are eighteen or
nineteen counties yet to report officially in
New York The forty-one reported at this
Writing, north of Harlem river, do not
materially change the result already tabu-
lated, which gives Cleveland a plurality of
about l, 200 votes Twenty districts in Kings
county make no change Of Importance, and
the final result is likely to be a confirmation
of the figures as they stand. The boast
ed election laws of New York State seem to
be framed with special reference to the easy
commission of frauds and to the certain pre-
vention of their discoveryand correction. The
ballots are not preserved, but are destroyed so
soon as the several election boards are through
with the first count Therefore, if
Butler votes were counted for Cleveland, or
any other sort of mistakes or frauds commit
ted by the board officers, there is absolutely
no way of establishing the fact by COMPARE
son with the ballots as cast by the electors.
All the varied provisions for securing
fairness in the count, in the absence of the
ballots, must of necessity be farcical, be they
never so particular and vOluminous.
1t is our opinion that whatever frauds or
errors the Republican committee may be
able to establish by evidence to a
moral certainty, there is no great
likelihood of so establishing them as to work
any decisive change in the count. However
the work of the boards will be closely scrutin-
lied to the end; the facts will be made known
to the country, and by the final, legal
and official declaration-if we have to
yet too meet and canvass the retulns-all true
citizens will Loyalty abide.

prestige of his $4,000 plurality two years

newspapers and leaders, squeezes through

plurality two years ago of 10, GAS, with all the

all his party associates, and is in a minority of

1.-THE whole town tonight is talking about
the wonderful performance of Maud s. Even
the ladies' discuss it with animation. The ex-
element in the presidential election, which
has been so intense here, is submerged by the
tidal wave produced by seeing what had never
before been accomplished-a mile in 200 IA"
A peaceful solution is thus offered to all our
federal difficulties. Is any considerable por-
ton of any locality inclined to sedition, the
government has only to send Ffyer" there
and have the record beaten. The only posi-
BILE objection that could be urged would be
that the record could not be beaten on order.
But while this may be conceded, it is quite
safe to say that the record could be so closely
appropriated as to divert the public mind
from thoughts of bloodshed to the contempla-
ton Of horse flesh, and the pretty spectacle of
ladies pleading for the sweet boon of being
allowed to caress the dear little nose of the
racer. 1t is in order now for some political
economist to produce a work on horse-races as
an element in the civilization of man and as
counter-irritant for the cure of political hys-
terics. The duty Of every lover of his coun-
try is apparent now The horse-race as fac
tor in our civilization, must be encouraged
and developed. Men are plenty who delight
in fast time, and there are women galore who
would esteem it high privilege to rub noses
with horses that get over ground in hurry.
1t is not altogether apparent that the madness
inspired in the breast of mankind at such an
ELUSIVE display of feminine affection would
not have bad effect upon the temper of men,
but it would at least be a diver
sion, and would certainly deter the com
munity at Gubser's Mill from marching at
once on Washington. Maud s. is not alone
in her victory over the record. The Amer
lean people, pleased with a rattle and tlckled
with a straw, are quick to beat the record
themselves. It is well. Let the horse race
go on. The people are happy, and again we
say, put away the iron-clad in the buggy
shed and hang the old swamp-angel in its
place. Beat your spears into pruning hooks,
and beat your creditors if they don't beat
you.

A WAR AVRETED.

Those few determined fellows who CALAMITY
but rashly offered to die in the effort to put
Mr. Cleveland in the White House might as
well put the musket back on the pegs, and
hang the old sword in its place among the
punches of dried catnip and stringed onions.
We feel constrained to say that there will
be no war this time. Not that the official
result has been determined and all amicably
settled. but for other and scarcely less certain
reasons. Evidently the American people are
not yet wrought up to that pitch of
frenzy calculated to precipitate domes-
tic war The organized and programmed
war-whoops uttered all along the line from
Richmond to Galveston don't mean anything
serious and the people may confidently ex-

HERE is little paragraph in a New York
special which is indicative of the strong de-
sire of the Democratic managers for a fair
count:
'rMr Daniel Manning. chairman of the
Democratic State committee. accompanied by
Mr.. Andrew II. Green, took the 8 o'clock
train from this city to Yonkers this morning.
They were met at the Yonkers depot by Mr.
George c. Smith, Hon. Samuel j. Tilden's
private secretary, and drove to Grevstone
They were received by Mr. Tilden, and spent
three hours at Greystone.
1t was Mr.. Samuel J. Tilden who, in 1868
organized the fearful frauds in New York
city, which were made the subject of con-
gressional investigation. Mr.. Roscoe Conk-
ling, of counsel for the Democratic party,
said of those frauds that more votes were re-
turned in one ward than there were men,
women, children, cats and dogs living within its
boundaries. 1t was Mr.. Samuel J. Tilden who
attempted to buy the presidency in 1876 by
means of the cipher dispatches and the
Cronin fraud, which particular fraud, origi-
mated and engineered by Governor Hoadly
under the personal supervision of Mr.. Tilden,
was rejected by unanimous vote of the
electoral commission without giving it even
a hearing. The Democratic managers must
be ''cock sure" of the result in New York to
hurry off to Greystone, and spend three hours
with this putrid Renaissance of the most
stupendous frauds that ever disgraced the po-
itical history of the country.
