THE New York Tribune has at last got round
to admit Cleveland's plurality on the popular
vote. His apparent plurality, according to the
Tribune's figures is 70,9I5. In this are included
the Al 800 votes, which the vote on the 18th
elector show him to have gained by the fusion
with the Greenbackers in Michigan, and what
ever the gain from the fusion was in Iowa and
Nebraska. In the previous election the Green
hackers had cast 30,Sl7 in Iowa and I6, 99I in
Nebraska. Last week the Tribune was vocifer-
ating that the supposed Greenback strength
these three states, aggregating SO, l9S should be
deducted from Clevelands vote, leaving him in
a minority to Blaine. 1t over looked the fact
that the Republicans fused with the Green.

the Greenback vote has been 80, 407 and 900,
and has only this week got round to see that
there is just as much reason for deducting this

Democratic gains from fusion from Cleveland's
After making regular diet of figures for sew

SENATOR LAMAR is one of the mer who rise
above the ad captaadum talk of mere polti-
clans in discussing the tariff problem. "Reve-
nue. reform and manufacturing prosperity"
says the senator, sought not to be antagonlstic
forces. We are now" be continues, 'sthe fore
most manufacturing nation in the world. Our
industrial system is SO vast and SO intimately
blended with our whole social structure, that
the representative of the people may surely be
trusted to see that no industry shall suffer
shock by reason of legislation" This is the ba-
sis of revenue reform and the ground on which
we believe the Democratic party will plant itself
according to the promise of the Chicago plat
form. We want to decrease general taxation,
which benefits all men alike, at whatever INDUS
try, manufacturing, agricultural or mechanical,
they may work. There is nothing in this incon-
sistent with manufacturing prosperity, because
while reducing taxation to the revenue stand
ard it contemplates such an arrangement of
details as will best afford honest protection to
American industries.

As George C Gorham figures it Blaine ere
ceived the votes of one-third of the Democratic
party of the United States, else be would not
have carried 10 states perhaps not six" MI
Conkling after carefully studying the facts in
every county as counsel for the Democratic
national committee, expresses the opinion that
from 10 to 20 per cent of the Democratic vote
in New York state went to Blaine. There
never was such a general readjustment Of parties
SO quietly and irresistably wrought by forces
which no politician could begin to measure.
The Democratic party in night almost has
got rid of it worst and most Objectionable ele-
ments, and has replaced them with the best,
most patriotic and most progressive of Repub-
licanism. 1t is to be the work Of the Cleveland
administration to solidify this temporary con-
junction into permanent formation.

ONE L II Baxton M d, of Plymouth Union,
makes an effort to air his smartncss by CON-
planning that he can't get the REroRMER
stopped. We have examined the Plymouth
Union list, from which last weeks mail was
sent, and it contains no such name. 1t may
be that this man has been writing letters with
out giving the address to which his paper IS
sent, or perhaps he has done everything
straight, but is aggrieved ii be sent notice
which reached us perhaps Friday morning that
he'should have got paper Friday night. The
REFoRMER's large subscription list of $4,000
necessitates uniform system Of correction,
and it is regularly corrected every week. If a
payment or notice for change or discontinue
ance comes from any town after that town has
been corrected, it has to go over to the next
week, and the subscriber is an involuntary
gamer of paper, for which we are very sorry,
but can't help it. Care, intelligence and pa
thence in these matters are pretty certain to
bring matters round right

the Republican vote in the south.

| Mr. Blainc's savage demagogy about the sup
preston Of the colored vote in the south has
elected such an intelligent discussion OF the
figures as to demonstrate on all sides its nttei
dishonesty and basclessness. The table of the
popular vote which we published last week
showed that Blaine's vote in the 10 states OF the
"Solld South" was l,lSi,377 and Ceveland's
was 1861, 227. One million Is pretty fair vote
for party to show up when 1t Is entirely "sup-
pressed"
Cleveland's vote in the south as whole Is
fully % per cent short of tho white voting pop
ulation, and Blaine's some 80 per cent Of the
coored voting population. In the few states
where there was anything like contest like
Kentucky, Missouri, Virginia, West Virginia,
North Carolina and Florida, the vote was fuller,
according to population than in Vermont or
Massachusetts. But in most OF the states there
was an enormous falling of of the vote; in
Georgia and So Carolina particularly, more
than half of the voters, white and black staid
away from the polls. More of the blacks than of
the whites staid away, as is invariably the case
with an ignorant population, where there is no
special excitement to arouse them. Admitting
for the moment Mr. Blaine's preposterous claim
that the negrqyote is solid Republican, the fig
ures of theDwdoe south show that almost as
many white men as negroes were "driven away
from the polls"
Pursue the inquiry little farther; the Demo-
cratic majorities have decreased ia ID of the l6

SECRETARY TELLER's very able report, de-
tails serious condition of affairs with regard
to our public lands. He shows that the time is
very near when the country will not have any
public lands at its dispos al for actual settlers
The policy of the Republican party during the
past 20 years has been such as to deprive the
people of the most valuable sections of the west.
Corporations have absorbed immense tracts as
a gratuity for constructing railroad lines. For
eign capitalists have likewise purchased large
sections. The actual settler now finds himself
restricted to lands of inferior quality, and not
much at that. The territory of Alaska is the
only portion of our public domain that has thus
far escaped the rapacious greed of the land
grabbers. There ought not to be any doubt of
prompt action by congress to restore to the peo
pie and open for settlement all land grants that
have been forfeited by delinquent railroads. and
we do not believe there will be. These corpor
atoms themselves expected that Cleveand,s
election would bring them to justice, and they
aked everything on desperate fight to elect
Blaine.

THE petrifed wood which is so abundant in
the United States Territories of Arizona, Wyo-
ming and Rocky Mountain region, is rapidly
becoming utilized by the practical American.
In San Francisco there is now factory for cut
ting and polishing these petrifactions into man
tie pieces, tiles, tablets, and other architectural
parts for which marble or slate is commonly
lsed. Fortified wood is said to be susceptible
of finer polish than marble or even onyx, the
latter of which it is driving from the market.
The raw material employed comes mostly from
the forests of petrfed wood along the line of
the Atlantic aud Pacific railway. Several 9TH
er companies have also been formed TO obtain
concessions of different portions of these for
ests. Biologists will regret the destruction of
such interesting primeval remains, and some
steps ought to be taken preserve certain tracts
in their original state.

candidates to kill each other off. In case of
final failure he will turn editor Of the Washing
ton Republican. James 0 Lyford, bright
young attorney, now chief clerk in the war
department, will enter the field as candidate
for secretary of state against w Thompson,
the present incumbent. Another matter to be
decided Is how District Judge Daniel Clark car,
be induced to retire this winter so that Pres
dent Arthur can nominate one Of the younger
school Of politicians in his place. Senator
Blair is anxious to get the place for ex.Con-
gresham Briggs, who has considerably with
drawn from the senatorial fight in Blair's
favor.

SOME Interesting developments are in pros.
pect with reference to the conspiracies Of the
early days Of the rebellion. Gen Sherman, in
public speech some time ago, declared that he
had seen Il letter written by JEFF DAVIS on the
eve of secession which showed that his scheme
then was good deal larger than the formati on
of confederacy, that he purposcd to make
himself military dictator, and that he was
ready to turn his troops upon any state that re-
sisted. Mr. Davis, as soon as the statement ap-
peared, denounced it in a public letter as a
falsehood. Gen Sherman promises to produce
his proof, and he has detailed special messen-
ger to look up the letter in the archives at
Washington, and his friends claim that its con-
tents will not only corroborate all that has
been said, but will give to the public an out
line Of plot more damnable than anything
that has yet come to the surface regarding the
contederacy. There was good deal of suspi-
cion of such plot in the winter and spring of
1861, but it has never yet been verified.

1880 to 1900 and Louisiana from $4,000 in
1880 to 10000.
Ri aine has made in the south therefore a
gain of $4,000 over Garfield, and but for his
enormous losses in the north he would have a
plurality of almost 10000 on the popular vote.

In short his gain of l2l, 900 in the south is
wiped out by Cleveland gain of over 100000

Garfeld's plurality of 5000 and leaves Ceve-
land 70, 900 ahead in the country at large. The
assurance of the man is simply wonderful when
be stands up and asserts that he is beaten by
fraud and suppression of votes in the south
The truth is that the south is gradually but
surely changing in political sentiment. twas

bag era, built upon the ignorance and terror OF
the negro vote, upheld by bayonets, and made
by the short-sighted folly of the Republican
leaders synonymous wit h Republicanism.
L here were undoubtedly fearful crimes, when
the states were turned from Republican to
Democratic for the white people felt that it
was question of the very preservation of So
ciety, and the negroes believed that it was a
question of their return to slavery. There was
violence, because violence is inseparabe from
such great mass of ignorant suffrage as had
been thrust upon the nation. But when the
Democrats had once won, and the negroes
found that they were not made slaves, but were
more prosperous and better off than ever, the
bitterness and the turbulence naturally died
out, and as it recedes into the past new ques-
tons occupy the public attention, the negroes
have gradually become Democrats, and the
whites are splitting up on various issues. The
result is that the "solid south" is but thin
crust at several points, and there is no possible
ity of its solidity remaining -four years longer.
