American people he can not do that again in
1884, and il we know Grover Cleveland the
wolf will find more than its match in
strength and determination.
1t is the official returns of the ballots of
the people of New York, honestly counted,
and it is not Jay Gould and his Western
Union Telegraph Company. that are to de-
termine the electoral vote of this State. We
believe that those returns, if honestly
counted, show that q majority of the psoDe
have voted for Cleveland and Hendricks
We also believe that Gould and Elkins are
conspiriDg to cheat the count.
Our counsel is for peaceful methods and
careful abstinence from any others till the
last extremity. But if the Republican Ma
tional Committees call for resistance" is
meant to incite Republicans to resort to
violent means to defend frauds on the pre-
text of preventing them, upon the heads of
Elkins and his fellowmembers of that COM
mittee rests the responsibility for the stirring
up OF any violence that may ensue. The
people of the United States have been cheated
once by the Republican party in Presiden-
tial count, and have submitted when the
cheat was ratified by arbitration. In the
55, 600, 600 inhabitants of this country there
are not 80, ZOO, if they can read and write,
who to day do not feel in their hearts that
from March, 1877, to March, 1881. the two
men who exercised the offices of President
and Vice President never were elected to
them fairly. There will be no arbitration this
time, nor any submission.

1.-THE AsIATIC sCOURGE.

A Sensation Created in Paris by the Au-
thOrities Acknowledging the Existence

Kep' Secret.
LONDON, Nov 9.-The acknowledged existence
of Cholera in Paris By the municipal authorities
has caused an enormous sensation. The preva-
lenee of the disease IN a sporadic form has been
known TO the health officials OF the city for weeks
but they deluded themselves with the hope that
the plague would disappear on the approach Of
cold weather The extraordinary increase OF the
been so great that no further deception was posi-
BILE and the facts we're at last reluctantly stated.
Medical experts assert that they do not fear ep
idemic during the winter months, but they now
believe that the disease has been planted deeply
that il will live until spring. when it will proba
bly, break out in its worst form. Since the official
announcement Of the existence OF cholera in
Paris there has been q marked depression in
business OF all kinds. The paSse niger traffic
between London and Paris, which IS usually
at It's height at this season of the year. has been
reduced one-half. Fully two-thirds of the pro
prietors OF the large hotels complain that their
guests are leaving them so rapidly that they Will
shortly be without customers. and the wires are
busy with kilograms canceling engagements for
apartments which had been secured weeks in ad-
vance. The Hotel Bristol. in the Place VeRdome
one OF the most select in the city, and where a
room can seldom be obtained without previous
notice, Is almost deserted and the proprietors
state that this is fair sample OF
the effect OF the outbreak OF the scourge on like
establishment throughout the capital A general
gloom seems to have settled over the usually care
less and gay habitues of the boulevards, aud cOu-
demnatiOns OF the ineficiency OF the Government
are heard on all sides. full realization OF what
a fearful epidemic next summer means seems TO
have taken possession of the popular mind, and a
state of depression exists witch can only be com
pared to that OF the dark days of the commune.

Mr.. Lushington, and Messrs. Egan and
Stuart, from Jaypore, Joined our camp with
the hope of getting chance at this brute,
and the maharajsh of Vizianagrum, with
his usual public spirit, has lent me some
shikar elephants, but the hopes of findinga
tiger in such an immense area of forest are
very dim indeed, and am afraid no good
will come of our efforts. There is some
chance that this particular tiger OF this
neighborhood was killed by one of the con-
stables, who got shot at him when he was
carrying off his comrade, as l have men
toned above. But north and west OF US
stories of ravsges continue to come in; and
a tiger killed man at Gaugaraz Madgole
within the last four days. We have
been in consultation as to what is to be
done in this dreadful position of affairs,
aud We are unanimously of opinion that the
only thing to do is to supply certain villages
with police, carbines and ammunition, and
endeayor to persuade the villagers to attempt
to kill these beasts themselves, giving the
usual reward of 100 rupes for an ordinary
tiger, and special reward of 200 rupes for
the well-established death of a man-eater. /
have inquired of few villagers who tell me
that their guns are no good, being match
LOCKS, that they have no guns, that their
guns were lost in the fouri. / therefore
think it likely that this un Unprecedented hui
man slaughter may arise from an unusual
dearth of firearms in the country. 1t is
clear to me that il something is not done to
stop these ravages the countrywide will
be gradually depopulated. 1 should
say that at least six villages have
been abandoned quite recently from
this cause, and this means that lands
have fallen out Of cultivation, that the peo.
pie try to live on jungle produce, and, fail
ing that, 90 off to the plains as laborers. 1t
is not only the absolute danger OF life that
we have to think about, but likewise the dis
astrous stopping of all agricultural opera
tions. 1t is horrible to contemplate the feel
ings Of poor laborer going out for his days
work to field few hundred yards from his
house with the knowledge about him that
there is an even chance of his being carried
away from the side of his plow, or that his
wife may be seized when she is bringing him
his midday meal. Yet this is, and must be.
the attitude of mind of every man in this
country who pursues the usually peaceful
vocation of the husbandman."

Mr. Merritt's arm, al want you to tell me the
truth. l have big amount of money on
Blaine-nearly every dollar l own. Now, do
you honestly believe he is elected?p
Il have no doubt" was the reply, that
he has carried this State and is elected"
'Do you think he has carried Indiana"
YES Indiana and New York
Then what is the meaning of John @.
News dispatch in the Tribune conoeding
Indiana to the Democrats?'
Il am surprised that the Tribune published
il, Mr.. Merritt said, dolefally.
At that moment an extra edition OF Cyrus
W. Fields Blaine organ was brought on the
platform, the headlines practically conced-
ing Cieveland's election, and announcing
Jay Geuld's telegram of congratulstion to
Governor Cleveland. Mr. Merritt had moth
ing to say. A new arrival then drew from
his pocket copy OF the noon Associated
Press bulletin, which recited a rigmarole
about mountain districts and mail returns
from which the conclusion was announced
that "this confirms the first press report of
to-day, that if the Associated Press reports
are correct and the returns to the County
Clerks incorrect Blaine has q plurality OF
LOCO in the State of New York"
WELL" said Mr.. Merritt, ''the districts
yet to be reported gave Garfield plurality
OF 1000. We have no reason yet to fear the
result"
The bystanders gave no sign of believing
any such professions. The Gould dispatch
and the weakening of the Associated Press
were arguments not to be surmounted by
bluster, and there was no disposition in the
crowd strongly partisan as 1t was, to second
the committees efforts at bluff.

Hints of 80 Redivivus.

NEW YORK Nov. 10.-A Washington special says
there is no inclination among Republican leaders
to submit to the result of the election. repeti
ton of the scenes of '76 is contemplated, with
many of the same persons as ehief actors. The
wires are loaded with dispatches summoning the
bOlder leaders to the assistance of the National
Committee. Among these are several members OF
the noted Wormy Conference OF 1876
In managing Democratic circles there are init
nations of forthcoming disclosures of the part
played by some of Mr.. Blaine's present active
workers in the seating of Mr.. Hayes in 1876. A
great air OF mystery is thrown over the matter by
those who have referred to it, and this is increased
by the declaration that it had nothing to do with
what took place in louisiana, Florida and So nth
Carolina or at the Wormly Conference here but
that it srelates to transactions in Washington, no
hint of which has ever been made public
IL is said to involve most OF those men in New
York and the West who are now declaring, I'm the
face of the official returns OF that State, that
Blaine has carried New York. Their purpose rs
now known to be to attempt to throw such doubt
over the New York result as to give ground for
controverting it. first in that State and afterward
in Congress. The belief is that in Congress they
employed by the same men in 1876.

They Can Not Do 1t Twice.

The Republican party clings to the power
which the people have voted that it shall
lay down. There is a conspiracy to steal the
Presidency and Vice Presidency OF the
United States again for candidates whom he
people have rejected. Eight years ago the
robbery was done in Florida, Louisiana and
South Carolina. To-day it is attempted in
New York. Audacity is the Republican
policy now as it was in 1876. zachariah
Chandler is dead, but Stephen b. Elkins and

During the last two days Gould, by false
reports of election figures through his tele
