How Mr.. Tilden Voted.

About 10 o'clock a. m. a cab drew
up in front of the polling place at 227
Third avenue. From it stepped Elk
Governor Samuel j. Tilden, accomp-
anied by his Private Secretary. He
was Immediately recognized and
greeted with hearty cheers. Mr..
Tilden was dressed in a plain black
suit and wore an overcoat of the same
color and silk hat. He appeared
to be in excellent health. The ticket
pedders swarmed about anxious to
secure the honor OF handing him a
ballot. He called for a Cleveland
and Hendricks Electoral ticket, and
leaning on the arm of his Secretary,
stepped to the ballotbox. In answer
to the Inspectors question he replied,
samuel j. Tilden, No. Is Gramercy
Park"
Cheers from the crowd packed
inside the polling shop greeted the
announcement of his identity. One
silvery locked Jeffersonian as he
clasped Mr.. Tildens hand, exclaimed,
IL am so sorry we can't vote for the
old ticket, Mr.. Tilden, and wholly
right the wrong OF 76.
"Vote for Cleveland and Hendricks
and you will please me just as well,
was the quick rejoinder from the
Gramercy Sage. He then deposited
a ballot containing the names Of the
straight Democratict ticket and depart.

One thing is certain. IL Grover
Cleveland it is in fact, he will owe his
election, as he owed his nomination,
solely and conspicuously to the efforts
OF Republican voters. The Demo
cratic party has still TO elect candi-
date representing Democratic princi-
pies.
So said the New York Sun in
anticipation OF Cleveland's election.
The first clause is unquestionably
true to 4 large extent but we are
unable TO preceive why Mr.. Cleveland
is not therefore a representative OF
Democratic principles. Theindepend
ent Republicans are Democrats in
principle, in the old, original, sense OF
the term. The fact that they have act
ed with the Republicans in timespasi
is no argument against the sound
ness Of their present position. Mr.
Dana, the editor Of tho Sun, was one,
n Republican, and according to his
present logic, has no Just right tC
claim. as he does 10 be an advocat,
and representative Of Democracy
The truth is the Sun has suffered al

new asphalt pavements, and the
improvements upon Washington''
parks and the little triangular
green patches, which from wherever
the oblique avenues cross the right
angular streets, also indicate much
care and cultivation. Provision il
soon 10 be made for planting shade
trees on Pennsylvania Avenue. which
now presents q beautiful smooth
stretch Of asphalt from the Capitol 70
the south gate OF the Treasury De
partment, marred only by car track
down its center. Every afternoon,
at four o'clock, the outpour from the
Government departments mingles
with fashion in a promenade upon
this north sidewalk, in contrast with
the almost deserted south side Of the
avenue. 1t is. curious, this fact OF
Pennsylvania Avenue, that almost all
its foot traffic and the majority of its
business is upon the north side, while
its southern sidewalk is bare and
univiting.
Washington is happy in another
improvement The howl Of the office
seekers is nearly inaudible. This
strange, hopeful variety of the genus
homo we have always with us. He
does not migrate with the rest Of
Washingtonians for a summer hoi-
day, but plies his vocation the year
round. He formerly made life unen-
durable to the President and the
heads of the departments. No
amount Of vigilance thwarted his bold
designs. But he is at last conquered
by the horrors of the rigid competi-
tive examination. He shrinks from
the frowns of the civil service measu-
res. The majority Of this recently
formidable army are awed into com
plete absence, but the most daring Of
the great hungry horde still loiter
around and feebly howl their presence.
Much attention is now directed
towards the Washington Monument,
as 1t approaches completion. The
tall white marble shaft may already
be seen from almost any part of the
city, and soon the question of the
grand dedication ceremonies will be
mooted. l..

The Galveston News advises the
Legislature. at its next session, to let
prohibition alone, arguing that the
local option law is ample for all
present purposes, and that it will be
only loss Of time and money to dis
cuss the matter in the Legislature,
while other more important matters
should claim attention. 1t occurs to
us that long petitions signed with
the names of some of the best me

people will vote them down, if right,
let them prevail, and settle the
matter. Columbus Citizen.

ProhlbitiOn-Great Gain in Four Years.

ITOnlDltlOu-UI Uatu liz rVui Aeoi De
CHICAGO, November 6.-The follow
ing has been received from New
York:
The total Prohibition vote of the
country will aggregate 100000.
Four years ago it was less than H.
900, and it has decided the Presiden-
tial contest in New York. Clevelands
majority is about 1000. Official re-
turns will not materially change the
figures. The Prohibition vote in
New York is fully $4,000. The
Republican vote in Allegheny, Monroe
and Orleans counties alone would
have carried the State for Blaine, if
cast for him. The Prohibitionists
have stood up to be counted, and
have rebuked the insult offered the
temperance men at the Chicago con-
yention, and this vote has made
prohibition a national issue which
will not go out of national politics till
the beer shops and drinking houses
are gone from America. The Re
publican party having been removed
from the path to the grave yard,
the Prohibitionists will at once organ
ize to bury whiskey and Democrats
four years ahead. 1 am fully satisfied
we had no choice between the candi-
dates in the old parties, but were
fighting to elect an issue. Work to
have that issue win in 1888 has
already begun.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 3, 1884


notwithstanding the excitement
occasioned by the elections, Washing
ton is now alive to the fact that but
four weeks remain before the assem-
bling of Congress. The city emerged
from her long summer siesta some
time ago to have her attention distrac-
ted by the problem of the presidency,
but now that the end of the contest
has come, there has begun in Washing
ton busy, bustling era OF prepare
ton for the advent of assembled Wis
dom at the Capitol. The dawn of the
coming winter season ut the National
Capital is unusually radiant Its
glow is already reflected over the
city, and is prophestic of season OF
politics and gaiety such as will shadow
remembrances OF many preceding
congressional sessions. Many of that
class of people who possess wealth
and culture, and make Washington a
winter resort, have already returned.
They will now be followed by n
general rush from all parts OF the
country, at the heels of which will
come tagging the usual famished
train of bipeds looking to their Uncle
Sam for something to turn up.
Then the ball begins. Congress and
society will vie for supremacy, The
former will interest, but the latter
will dazzle. The power of society in
Washington has indeed to be seen to
be fully appreciated. 1t exerts a
strong control, even over Congress in
that it lures and retains both rep
resentative and senator away from
from their duties ut the Capitol Not
infroquently does the House of
Representatives await quorum until
its members can be arrested in the
enjoyment of the mazes of Terpsichore
and returned captive by the Sergeant
alarms. The monarchs of this
power-the society Understanding
ally strain every nerve to increase its
magnetism, and they promise for
this season a succession of entertain
ments on a scale that has not hereto
fore been attempted. Gossip, the
ambassador and minister plenipoten-
tiary of the social world, tells this
year of mysterious costumes and sur
prises that will fairly astound, and
add greatly to the splendor of the
display. 1t is already manifest that
between Vanity Fair and the National
Legislature there will be nothing
dormant in Washington this fall and
winter, from the first social whirl to
the intermission which ensues with
sombre Lent
A walk about the city surprises the
summer absentee, and expressions OF
astonishment are heard on all sides
at the transformations effected during
their absence In rapid improvement
Washington is perhaps the most
remarkable city in the world Each
year the magic hand of the builder
works surprises in new designs OF
brick, stone, and mortar. New
streets are open and paved with
asphalt Vast public buildings are
reared. Dreary wastes Of ground
are metAmorphosed into vsrdan'
parks. The District Government

IMPROVING POTOMAC FLATS.
Arguments Before tho House River and
Har5or Committee Yesterday.

Arguments Before tho House River and
Hnrbor Committee Yesterday.
Mai. P. II. Hams, in charge Of the i'm.
provoments OF the Potomac flats, was before
the house river and harbor committee yes
terday. He said that the work was for the
improvement of navigation, and was .abso-
lutely necessary. The object was. he ox-
planned, to secure channel for navigation
400 feet wide and 90 feet deep, and to do this
they proposed to fill up the flats to make q
wall to confne the river The flats served
as u dumping ground for the dredges, and
furnished the foundation for permanent
bank, which would confino the river and
keep the channel open. If the deposit were
allowed to be washed down the river he said,
the river might have to TO dredged again.
The wall he regarded necessary to confine
the river and the dump from the dredges
was material for IL. 1t was proposed TO raise
these grounds above the high freshot mark,
and his estimates did not include any parking
or Identifying, but merely the improvement
of navigation. The proposed lake was not in
tended as an ornament but was designed to
supply water. 1t would furnish about
hundred million gallons of water at low tide
and would be the only means of maintaining
navigation in the Washington channel. No
work has been done to this channel, he said,
all the dredging being confined to the
would complete q stretch about $50 feet wide
and twenty feet deep, and would not extend
to the most important work, which de-
manded their attention.
In reference to a question, Major Hams
sal d that the most pressing need was that the
wall should be carried along tho line Of the
proposed improvements; the Washington
channel should be .dredged and the supply
lake dug out; the banks filled In, and an in
creased width and depth given the river for
the discharge of great body Of wstor during
freshets, aud what was taken from the river
for this purpose would fill the flats
Mr.. Hams was closely questioned concern
ing the nature of the improvements and the
relations between the improvement to navi-
CATION and that to the flats. In making the
estimates, he stated. the improvements to the
flats, which would necessarily be affected by
the improvements to the channel, had not
been taken into consideration at all.
Tho committee seemed to be in favor of
continuing the work to completion, and after
ward heard Mr.. G. b. Church, who called their
attention 10 the Importance of it, as our COM
merce amounted to over $S,000000.

LIBERALIZATION Challenged.
To The Editor.


There appeared in your issue of the 25th
instant an article headed, put Up or Shut
Up" and which appears at the first glance to
be "a challenge to and in behalf Of spiritual
mediums" and q defense of Mrs. Sawyer" as
it purports to be, but which is neither the one
nor the other, when its language Is analysed.
The writer, after declaring that he 10 not a
believer in spiritualism, but is q believer in
fair play, gives utterance to the following as
a specimen of his belief in fair play, &C.:
II ~. N. f." is not a vain boaster, or O covert
enemy bent on doing harm to q worthy woman,
he will accept the following: He and will each
put up $500 III your hands, Mr.. Editor. He and l
will tic Mrs. Sawyer in the cabinet to our mutual
produced the money is his. If they are produced
will turn over his $500 to you to be given TO any
charity you may select.
He wants to have hand in tying the
medium, and wants her tied to his satisfac-
ton. That may be put up or shut up
idea of fair play, but it strikes me that the
person wagering $500 against parties claim
ing that invisible and supernatural agencies
produce the manifestations would want the
privilege of tying the medium to his exclu-
sive satisfaction.
From the fact that tho author of the above
article assumes the defense of Mrs. Sawyer, il
is but fair to presume that he has her author
ity for this peculiarly worded challenge
If no has such authority, and he and she
mean business and not brsg, will wager
him 800, and put the money up in your
hands. that If the medium, Mrs. Sawyer, will
permit me to tie her in tho cabinet, to my
exclusive satisfaction, and with a material Of
my own selection, her usual manifestations
namely, the naturalization and appearance
of male and female forms at the door of the
cabinet, will not take place.
And l will agree that the tying shall be
done in such a manner that the medium shall
not be hurt or injured in any particular.
A BELIEVER IN SPIRIrUALIsM,
(But not Believer in Naturalization
