THE ELECTIONS.

All the States will vote for electors
who will choose the next President and
Vice-President of the United States, on
Tuesday, November 18th. Several Of
these will, at the same time, elect State
officers and Congressman. Those hold
elections earlier are as follows:
Indiana will elect a Governor, other
State officers, Legislature and Congress-
men, on Tuesday, October 18th.
Ohio will elect minorState officers and
Congressman, on Tuesday, October a.
Connecticut will vote upon an amend
ment providing for biennial elections
on Monday, October G, and elect State
officers, Legislature and Congressman
on Tuesday, November 4.
West Virginia viii elect State officers,
Legislature and Congressman on Tues
day, October Ii, and vote upon pro-
posed amendment to change the time of
the general elections to November.
The most comprehensive of all the
elections occurring on the day when the
electors are to be chosen-the 4th OF
Fovember-is that of New York, which
VIII elect two Judges of the Court of APP
peais. Assemblymen and Congressman,
and vote upon a proposed amendment
to the Constitution of the State, pro-
hibiting the loan or use OF public money
for private purposes, and restricting the
Indebtedness of counties, cities, towns
and villages for any purposes whatever,
to 10 per cent OF their valuation.
The most important in the series are
Ohio and Indiana, next month, because
they will be to some extent an index of
how the contest in November will go.
If both go Democratic the Democrats
are sure to win in the national struggle;
if both give Republican msjorities, that
party will have the upper hand; but
if, as is most probable, Indiana gives
Democratic and Ohio Republican
majority, we viii be left about where We
are now, unless one gives a pronounced
and the other very slight majority, in
which event the drift will be somewhat
toward the former. Wewiu soon know.

THE PROPOSED HOTEL.

The new hotel project originated by
DR.. D. Banks Mckenzie is one which
ought to and we hope will carry. Such
q. building as that which he proposes
would not only be lasting ornament
to the city, but a direct source of
revenue to those who labor as well as a
continual income to the city, in various
ways. \
We learn that at the meeting held
yesterday evening some $4,000 was sub
scribed; this is more than half of what
eastern investors demanded as condi-
ton OF their contributing the remainder
necessary to build $500, 600 hotel. The
lists will be open to-day, and when the
amount first named is subscribed, those
who have SO entered for the great
scheme will hold meeting and deter
mine upon whatever else is necessary to
be done.
If the proposed hotel can be built on
the plan proposed, or by any plan, we
will take as much pleasure as any one
can possibly feel in recording its COM
pletion, and even its actual inception.
DR.. Mckenzie has exhibited commend
able enterprise and energy in this
undertaking, and deserves encourage
ment from all who desire to see the best
interests Of the city fully maintained at
all times.

THE ASS. PRESS.

The Tf;bRyss Publishing Company
either as company or through its in
dividusl members, acts as the agent OF
the Associated Press in this city, and
furnishes such items of news as it
thinks proper, arranged to suit itself.
It gives to'the world real or supposi-
tious narration of events here gagged
in each and every case to its own posi-
ton on public affairs, and always having
an eye to the financial outcome.
It's neither truthful nor honest inits
statements. It says things which it and
everybody here know to be vilely false,
and telegraphs them throughout the
country as: though the announcements
thus transmitted were fragmeD of the
gospel.
It becomes exceedingly irate when
anybody else attempts to ssy word on
the other side, and shows how COM
pletely it is master Of the situation by
the use of such unanswerable argu-
ments as liar, ""thief. "slave, (" ''mur-
derer," "alien," wretch" &c. This
may be to some extent justifable, since
even culprit finding himself cornered
is apt, in accordance with natural
principle, to resort to the best defense
within his control, and the only defense
of the Tribune as to the infamous po-
sitions in which it has been so often de-
tected is to SANDER and abuse those who
are on its trail and slowly but surely
hunting it down.
The manner in which it absolutely
bols and bubbles when truthful ac-
count Of any public event here is sent
abroad, in relation to which q grand
opportunity is afforded it for the
working of an act" is painful to con-
template: it raves and rants like q
country tragedian, and refuses to be
comforted.
The fretful porcupine was never more
clearly illustrated. Our contemporary
never argues; it throws quill, with
the hope that its adversary viii be hit;
but the hitting doesn't occur very often.
However, the animal shows its animus
just the same; it would hit if it could.
When it fails to do SO, those who are
aimed at but missed have nothing to
complain of, and the animal has one
quill less to throw; when they are all
gone, its occupation viii have gone
too. Hasten the day.

BIaine and His organ.

Some of the most influential Republican
papers that are now opposing Blaine were
engaged in defending him when the
charges that are now cutting such a figure
in the canvass were fresh, and papers
that are now defending him were at that
time bitterly hostile to him. The New
York Tribune is about the only prominent
daily paper iu New York city that is sup
porting Blaine. In fact it is the leading
organ of his canvass. In 1872 its tone to-
wards Blaine was quite different from
what it Is now. In that year in an edito-
rial article it said:
The startling exposure Of Speaker
Blaine's venality in connection with the
Union Pacific road, Eastern division, en-
tirely destroys, of course, whatever credit
some people may have given to his evasive
denial of the Cakes Ames bribery, and
puts the whole case of the Credit Mobilier
upon different basis. Now II Is
shown that Speaker Blaine never deserved
his good reputation. He had taken brides
in another case.
Just before the Cincinnati Convention
in 1876 the Tribune had something more to
say about Blaine. This is what it said:
He (Blaine) is at all times partisan,
and too much imbued with the preJudices
and habits of partisanship to make an
ideal President or an ideal candidate; and
it is true. too, as has been once or twice
said, that he has been in a conspicuous
and influential position in Congress for
many years and has not urged any meas
ure of reform or protested against bad
government and corrupt administration.
What has Blaine done since 1876 to cause
the Tribune to face about, and from being
his bitterest foe become his warmest adj
vOcate? Blaine certainly has not changed
He is no better man now than when the

The Five Cent Fare Bill.

Notwithstanding all the noise that the
Blaine organs have made and are still
making about Cleveland's veto of the five
cent fare Elevated Railroad bill, it doesn't
appear that il will do him any harm. A
representative of the Chicago Times spent
nearly two weeks interviewing poor
people who use the elevated roads, with
the purpose OF finding out whether there
is any great amount of dissatisfaction
with Cleveland on account of his
veto of that bill. The result OF his
Iabors was that he found a very
few Democrats who found fault with the
veto. Those who talked the loudest about
it, and declared that it had destroyed
Cleveland's popularity with the working
men were, without exception, Republi-
cans or friends Of Kelly's Lieutenant,
Grady. The working people understand
that the veto was based on strictly cOnsti-
tutionaI grounds. The fare is only five
cents any way during the hours when
they 90 to and from their work. The five
cent fare bill veto has played all the part
that it ever will play. 1t is safe to say
that it will not cost Cleveland a thousand
votes. At most, it was only an excuse
for attacking Cleveland. The working
men are too intelligent to be influenced by
arguments against Cleveland based on
that five cent fare veto.

CboIera ReDOrts.

Reports from the cholera district In
Europe differ. One report says that the
disease is on the decline, while another
SAYS that it is increasing and spreading.
The truth appears to be that it is declin-
ing at TOulOn, the place where it first
made its appearance, and that during the
first part Of last week there was a marked
decline in the number Of deaths at Mar
settles. During the latter part of last
week, however, there was a noticeable
increase in the number of deaths from
cholera at Marseilles. The weather be-
came damp and intensely hot, and the
opinion was expressed Ivy eminent physi-
clans that Marseilles had not yet seen the
highest death rate. The situation at Mar
settles, however, is not the occasion of so
much alarm throughout Europe and in
this country, as the fact that the plague
is spreading in Southern France and in
Italy. This fact seems to justify the be-
lief that it will spread all over Europe
and eventually reach this country. The
best opinion is that it will not reach this
country this year, although there is time
enough yet for such a calamity. But,
admitting that the danger is past for this
season, will it be wise to relax our efforts
to prevent the introduction of the disease
as long as it maintains a foOthold in any
part of EurOpe? Our quarantine regu-
latiOns ought to be as strict and our SAM
tary work just as vigorous as if we were
in imminent danger of a visit from the
pestilence. Doctors may differ as to the
immediate cause of cholera and as to the
best way Of treating it, but they all agree
that cleanliness is the greatest protection
against 1t. 4 very grave responsibility,
therefore, rests upon the authorities of
every city in the country. 1t is not i'm
probable that Paris has thus far escaped
the pestilence on account of its good sani-
tary condition.
