This has been Conkling's first move

unfairly treated, great as was his
mistake, in the popular estimation
for his quarrel with Garfield, and his
subsequent resignation. He WAS de-

appointment. The story of the "Men-

light on those days to C0nkling's adj
vantage. But while almost every.
one else has contributed to the public

happened, and C0nkling had the
greatest provocation to do so, he has
never uttered word to the public
concerning these events. The seal of
silence has been absolute with him.
Not many men would do it. When
Cleveland comes into the White

influence which will be felt through

the next Congress of the United

election that Mr.. McCOmas would be
elected by an increased majority, but
we were not prepared for such an
overwhelming majority in Washing

vote shows that the district is in

the protection of American industry,

New YORK, November 15.-The

Mr.. Frank A. Richardson, the vet
eran Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun, who has been
spending some time in New York,
telegraphs his paper a lengthy out
line of what he thinks will be the
leading characteristics of President
Cleveland's administration. Among
other things Mr.. Richardson says:
1.-THE mere place-hunters did not
elect Gov. Cleveland to be President
of the United States. He owes moth
ing to them. Any consideration
which he gives them can only be Sec
ondary and incidental, He has a
more serious task before him than
the parceling out of petty offices. 1t
can be taken for granted that in the
effort which he will assuredly make
to act up fairly and squarely to the
principles of the platform on which
he was nominated, he will surround
himself with advisers and counsel
lors in accord and in sympathy with
him, and throughout the whole SER
vice of the government insist upon
faithful and trusty appOintees. But
this will be accomplished in his own
way and in hisown time, and those
who expect to see complete reyolu-
ton in the Offices before the showers
of April or even the flowers of June
will be previously disappointed"

Betting on Elections.

Betting on horse racing has often
led to attempts to secure certain re-
suits by criminal methods. Be- ting
on crop production, the output of
mines, the flow of oil wells, and so
forth, when done by men of large
capital, naturally leads to combina.
tions and corners for the purpose of
assuring the desired end. A betting
of whatever nature tempts to the eX.
ercise of whatever power may be pO-
sessed, in order to the more certain
winning of the bet. OF course there
always will he great many people
who simply stake their money on
their convictions, on information
they have received, or even upon
their strength of hope and desire
alone. In politics it is plain that bet
tifg has increased greatly of late
years, and it is especially noticeable
that it has increased among profess
sional politicians those, namely, who
handle the machinery of elections
and of parties, and who if their in
tereSts prompt them to actions which
their morals do not revolt from, may
| find it not impossible to devise ways
of eliminating the uncertainty from
, the situation upon which they have
wagered. 1t is perhaps impossible
by any legislation, or Ivy any moral
suaSiOn, to put an end to betting.
The spirit of speculation is inherent
in human nature, as a rule, and it
can only b. suppressed by the eXis-
tence of social conditions entaiIing
far more serious evils than flow from
any form of gambling. AT the same
time, it is necessary to point out that
political betting involves some real
dangers, and that the public are con-
cerned in watching it carefully.
Given politicians of loose princi.
pies and large opportunities, who
have strong pecuniary reasons for de-
string that an election shall result in
particular way, and it is not necessary
to imagine such persons monsters to
suppose them capable of "assiSting"
Fortune by the means open to them.
1t may be feasible so TO hedge about
the final electoral processes by legis-
lation that any tampering with them
will be impossible. That end should
certainly aimed at, for in il lies the
only absolute assurance Ofsafety. 1t
can never be repeated too often that
all institutions and safeguards which
rest ultimately upon the human char
acter are precarlous. The only ma
'hinery which can always be trusted
is that which possessed no mind to be
temaled, no principles to be debauch-
ed. Betting on elections is neither
worse nor better than any other form
of betting, but all forms of betting
are open to the same dangers, and
this one certainly is not exempt,
Therefore if it is futile to think of
stopping the practice by prohibition
it is the more necessary to make the
laws governing elections so stringent
and comprehensive that no opp0rtu-
nifty shall be given any one. wheath-
er in or out of Office, to INTERCEPT any
alien influence at any stage of the
electoral process, And il il just pos
sible that if this is done the interest

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
from our Regular Correspon dent.l

From our Regular COrrespOL uenI.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. Is. 1884.
Washington was ablaze on Thurs
day night with Democratic enthusi-
asm for Cleveland's supposed cleo:
ton, and for a party that has been
standing out in the cold for twenty
four years. they gave the Cleveland
rooster a right royal send off. While
there was here and there good spe.
cimen of the rebel yell, and now and
then a cheer for Jeff Davis by so'ne
idiot from the suberbs, the procession
was a most orderly one, and broke
up without serious outbreak.
The advent of Mr.. Cleveland if he
should become the ruling spirit of the
White House, would make only the
second bachelor who has been invest
ed with executive power in this
country, instead of the fourth as some
of the newspapers state. Every Pres.
ident down to Mr.. Buchanan had
been either a married man or wild
over at the time of accession. Thorn
as Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Mar
tin Van Buren, and Mr.. Arthur were
widowers when they became Presi-
dent, while John Tyler lost his wife
and married again before the expira-
ton of his term. The wife of Ger.
Harrison survi we'd him many yesrs
but she never came to Washington,
having received tidings of his death
just as she was about to start for the
Capital. During the Generals brief
month at the mansion, his daughter
in law, Mrs. Jane Franklin Harrison.
did the honors. 1t was at this time
too that Mrs. Randolph, then Vir-
ginia widow, got acquainted with the
late James Brooks of the New York
Express and subsequently married
him. The wife of Gen. Taylor
though an accomplished lady, was I'M
able to preside at the Executive
Mansion during any portion of the
| fifteen mOnts of her husbands adj
ministratiOn. The wife of President
| Fillmore lived through his alminis-
tration and died at WiIliards Hotel
only few days after his successor,
President Pierce was inauglrated.
Mr.. Pierce entered the WhiteHouSe
under bereavement, having O1t
most beloved son by railroad sect
dent in Massachusetts only a few
weeks before. The social lifeat the
White House during MIR. Heroes
term was so subdued that no one can
be said to haye been mistreSSOf it,
| though several lady friends of Mrs.
Pierce were always on hand to do
the honors. Mrs. Polk was a royal
hostess, and next to Mrs. Madison,
is remembered more gratefully tfan
any of the later mistresSes of the
mansion. Mrs. Johnson was an in
valid during the term of her hus-
band, but the social affairs of the
White House were most admirably
managed by Mrs. Patterson and Mrs.
Slower, her daughter, whose after.
noon receptions are most fragrant
memory. Mr.. Cleveland has two
sisters, either of whom is we'll fitted
to grace the White House, both hav.
ing shown their adaptabiIity in thi,
regard by the smaller but not less
exacting demand of the Albany social
coterie.
