CANDIDATES WHO DESERVE SUPPORT.
THE TRIBUNE has already spoken Of the merits
of the Republican local ticket But it is especially
desirable to impress upon all voters that they
cannot do better service to our courts
than by supporting Theron G.. Strong, Henry
E. Rowland and Charles II. Knox. the Republic
can candidates for the Common Pleas bench. All
three are honored members Of the class from which
all our judges should be taken-lawyers Of broad
minds ample experience sound learning and tu-
dcial temperament. Every lawyer and, indeed,
every voter should be glad OF the opportunity
to support candidates so admirably equipped for
the bench, and the whole community is to be con
graduated on the character of these nominations
II is. we fear, 4 hopeless fight against the DEM
ocratic hordes of the With Congressional District
which Frederick B. House is gallantly warng. If
tho intelligence and sef-respect which keep
the IXth Assembly District safe in the
Republican column could be extended to the
Isl and With districts there would be no doubt that
a Republican would be sent to Congress. Mr..
House is well fitted for usefulness at Washin gton,
having gained credit for himself at Albany Every
citizen who believes IN fair wages for American
workingmen and prosperity for American in
dustrics will give Mr.. House his vote and aid. He
is making an earnest canvass, throwing flood of
light into many dark places, and should poll large
vote.
John p Rockefeller. the Republican candidate,
will represent the IXth Assembly District at Al
bany during the coming winter. He has not an
enemy opponent among the Republicans of the
district. is a wel-known business man of integrity
and worth, aud certain of success. Charles
II. Morgan, who is running for AL
derman in the same district, Is an old
resident respected and liked by his fellowctizens
and possessing the solid qualities which are needed
at our City Hall.
The Republican candidate for Alderman in the
XXIst District is Edward +. O'Dwyer, rising
young lawyer. lie is native of this city, gradu-
ate of the Harvard Law School, and has been for
many years resident of the district. His
Democratic opponent is Harrison Palmer, an
inspector in the Department Of Public Works,
who was one of Commissioners 'rhompson's witnesses
last spring when the 5000 contracts and other jobs
wore investigated by Senator Gibbs committee.
Palmer should be beaten. Thompsons men should

GO TO THE POLLS EARLY.

There is one danger to which little attention
has been paid, bat which every Republican in
this city should bear in mind from this time
until his vote is in the balot-box. In certain
districts some votes will be unavoidably
crowded out. The enormous registration
24O9O6 voters has exceeded expectation. and
is in excess of the provision made for the vote
in the number of polling places. In some ais
tricts it will be u physical impOssibllity for all
the registered voters to get their ballots in
during the time allowed for voting.
The Democratic factions, including as they do
all the lowest, most brutal and most ruiianly
elements in the city, will try to lessen the Re-
publican vote in such OvercrOwded election

districts by massng at the polls long before the
voting begins, and casting their entire vote
before the Republicans can get near the boxes.
This scheme must be defeated as far as possible
by promptness and vigilance on the part OF the
Republicans 1t is the duty of every Repuo-
lican to investigate for himself the condition OF
affairs in his election district, and if there is any
danger that he will be crowded out. he should
be ON the ground as early as the earliest Demo-
crat. This contest Is too important to permit
the running of any risks.

The statement that Governor Cyoland, while Sheriff OF

asked for. This Is about the fimscs and most absurd

IN. Y. Times DEM
The Times has not the honesty to state that
the 500 days service in one year charged for by
Sheriff Cleveland did not include the time OF
his deputies but that an additional charge was
made for the deputies, covering precisely the
same days and the same courts. Sheriff Clcye-
land took the court calendars, counted up all
tho days tho courts were in session, and
charged for his own attendance So day for
each court-making in all 500 days i'll one
year, He charged also $50 per cent more
than his predecessor for conveying prisoners.
His emolumcnts from tho office, by such means
were ST. SOC more than those of his predeccs-

refused to pay. That is the Cleveland hUmp-

TIE CREATURE or RINCS

The Louisville Couier-JoWndl apparently
desires to argue with seriousness the question
whether Cleycland's advancement is due TO his
personal merit. 1t argues that he was wholly
obscure" five years ago. and owes his adj
vancement not to moneyed corruplionists, but
to spontaneous public sentiment In this
statement it assumes that he has been @dstin-
"guishcd above all his contemporaries for his
defiant attitude toward party cliquos and ring
dictation."
If the premises were correct, the conclusion
wOuld be sound. The difficulty is that the
premises are contrary to well-known facts.
Governor Cleveland was not nominated by the

ITINNI ON plPER

The theory of the Democrats just now ia to
publish loud boasts everywhere that they are
going to succeed everywhere else. In Connec-
ticut and in Indiana they declare that they have
an absolute list of eighty odd thousand Repub-
Leans IN NewYork who are going to vote
against Mr.. Blaine. In Indiana and in New
York they publish canvasscs showing that they
are absolutely certain in Connecticut and in
Massachusetts,. In NcwYork they pretend to
be absolutely certain in New Jersey, Conncct-
cut and Indiana. Now the fun of it is that the
conduct of Democratic managers every day
proves that they are conscious of weakness In
every one of the States mentioned
The same INSCRIPTIONS tactics which
prompted the declaration prior to the Ohio cleo

One of the most powerful reasons for voting

Sundry papers imagine that THE TRIBUNE is in.
consistent because it declares that wages generally
are higher than they were five years or ten years
ago while on the same day it states that wages In
the mines of Morris County are lower than they
have been for years. Both statements are true,
There is extraordinary depression in wages In the
iron mining regions though the general average OF
wages in all branches of industry has not yet
fallen to the level of five years ago.

The city makes no progress in reducing Its
expenses. The provisional estimates for next
year. as revised by the Board of Apportion-
ment, show n reduction # only 1913, 422 from
the appropriations of the present year. But
there is sure to be an increase, as usual when
the final estimate comes to be made up in De-
cember. The cost of the city government Is
greater proportionately than that Of any other
city in the wOrl |. That is the direct result OF
the ascendmcy in municipal affairs or such
men as Tweed and Thompson.
The unexpected increase in the circulation
of THE DAILY TRIBUNE has, for some time,
been severely taxing the mechanical facilities
which we had thought ample for any cmcr-
gency. Yesterday the demand for time out
ran the capacity of our presses, and we lost the
sale of from five to ten thousand papers. having
in most cases to refund the money Tor tickets
already purchased. We are making additional
arrangements however, and hope to-day to
be able to meet all demands For weeks our
regular daily edition has been many thousands
in advance of the highest number ever recorded
on the books of THE TRIBUNE for any issue
from the foundation of the paper down to the
middle of this year. higher than the highest
number sold with the news Of n great battle or
any other sensation, far higher than the highest
point ever touched by THE TRIBUNE. even when
it was a two-ccnt paper. If our friends, the
newsdealcrs, will be little patient, however,
we hope to-day and henceforth TO accommodate
them.

CURED BY FAITH.
Statement of Young Lady Who Had Con-

PHILADELPHIA, June 20.-Miss Justitia NJ.
Ashton, the twenty -year-old daughter of we'll
to-do lawyer at Norristown, has written re-
markable letter, describing the manner in which
she was recently cured of consumption by faith
and prayer. The statement is supported by the
word of the family physician and the village
clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Randall. Miss Ashton
writes: SIN February, 1884, l was taken ill.
My mother called in our family physician, in
whom we have implicit trust He several times
mentioned cavity in the left lung, and said:
If it would only heal My sister, who, for
several years has made the subject of
the healing power a study in the
family said to me: If you need healing you have
only to ask the Lord for it, and he will give it to
you The 18th of May was more i'll than had
been through all my previous sickness; the pain
was severe. The 22d Mr.. Randall called to see
me and urged me to deeper reliance on and
faith in Christ. While he was praying there
came to me feeling of assurance that the Lord
was present and that was being healed and l
said so. The following afternoon the doctor
came and said looked better When he had
examined my lungs he looked at me a moment
then examined them again and said, you are

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 20. -"Clevelandis is defeated

Thomas Coakley, Tammany Democrat in con-
versation with your correspondent tonight.
Cleveland cannot be nominated, he continued,
because it is well known that he could not carry
the State of New York, and because he is op-
posed by John Kelly Some New York members
of Congress were to-day counting Cleveland's
strength at present in the New York delegation,
and they figured him twenty one out of seventy
six votes"

Probably Bayard. There is disposition,
however, to let the first place on the ticket go to
the West. Mcdonald has grown in New York
since the Saratoga convention, and will get votes
from the delegation. Of course, if Cleveland's
friends take it into their heads to antagonize
Tammany they will refuse to support Bayard in
any event, and naturally go West with their
votes. If old Saddlebags' has the sagacity he
should have, he will secure the nomination for
