d" Cleveland already Elected"

CHICAGO, Oct a. regard Cleveland as al
ready elected. think there is nothing more to
be done than the mere physical work of deposit
ing the ballots This was the statement of DR..
Geo Miller, editor of the Omaha Herald to a
GLOBE reporter at the Grand Pacific hotel this
morning. The doctor made the remark in all
seriousness. He has just returned from New
York and man who speaks so positively about
the result in New York has never been met
before in Chicago. 81 acknowledge" he said,
when reminded that New York was problem
the average politician hesitated to discuss, "that
New York is in a very much torn-up condition.
/ admit that the outcome there is enveloped in
more doubt than that of any other state, but
give it as my firm opinion, based on observation,
that Cleveland will carry New York"
Mr.. Miller then proceeded to say that the
Irish in New York were all coming back to the
Democratic fold. A great number, it was true,
had been dissatisfied, but a reaction was now
noticeable, and before the election DR.. Miller be-
lieved that the Irish would return TO the party
and vote the Democratic ticket.
''At the Windsor hotel" said he, 'the help is
all Irish, and they were to a man
avowedly for Blaine four weeks ago.
To-day all but two are willing and
will vote for Cleveland. The same is the
case at the Fifth Avenue hotel Tammsny hall
is in its usual peculiar position L have no doubt
at all that Kelly is personally not for Cleveland,
but / don't believe he can deliver the Tammany
strength, and do believe that the rank and file
Of the Tammany voters will be for Cleveland -
''What seems TO be the opinion in New York
regarding Butler?"
1.-The opinion is strong that he and Dana are
in a conspiracy to defeat Cleveland, and that il
Butler gets any electoral votes he will give them
to Blaine. Nobody believes that Butler will re
ceive large vote in New York.
/ saw Ed Carney bet and pu
the money up that Butler wouldn't get 3,0OC
votes in New York city. The Prohibition ticket
| will poll big vote. OF course / am confident. -
DR.. Miller was opposed to fusion between
| Butler and the Democrats in his own state, Ne
braska, claiming that Butler would prove traito
/ IL successful. He said to-day that he had NJ
hopes OF the success Of the fusion either in Ne
braska or Iowa. The doctor said also that Cleve
lands visit to Buffalo was not the initial step tC
tour through the country. The Democrats
| candidate would remain at Albany, and IL was
doubtful IL he would accept tender Of demon
/ stration in Brooklyn.

Pettigre,c in Dakota Politics.

special Telegram 10 the GlODe.
SIOUX FALLS, Oak, Oct. 3.-Great excite
ment politically exists in this city, occasioned by
ex-Delegate Pettigrew seeking an endorsement
at his own precinct for nomination to the council
from this legislative district. His friends have
worked for weeks and to-day the county caucus
convened here and the vote stood thirty-six for
and thirty -four against Mm in the organization
of the caucus. Great surprise was manifested
among his friends. His opponents, now in the
field, WILDER Swim and H. NJ. Rogers, as the
Peoples and Democratic candidates, are very
sanguine of being able to defeat him, as the
voters now regard his election with grave doubt.
The men selected for candidates for the lower
house, Smith and Alexander, to run on the ticket
with him are anti-Pettigrew men and very weak
sisters. The nominees of the Peoples and DEM
ocratic convention, j. T. Gilbert and P. j. Mors-
tad, are both very popular and representative
business men Of Sioux Falls. Their election is
predicted by many Republicans in this city, as
the people are not ready in this district to assist
in paying off the Bismarck capitol deficiency and
do not kindly take to Mckenzie and Clifford, cor
poration candidate for delegate to congress, il
being generally understood in this part of the
territory that the anxiety of the ex-delegate tc
get into the council is owing to an understand
ing formed at the Pierre convention before the
Bismarck ring consen ted to give Judge Clifford
the nomination as delegate, all of which renders
the election Of the ex-delegate as uncertain as
that of Blaine.

CHICAGO, Oct. Sit is said that the object of
most of the Republican politicians now fiocking
into Ohio is not much speech making as to Sc
cure a conference with Mr.. Blaine, and receive
suggestions regarding what they are expected to
do in their respective states. Senator Allison
passed through Chicago few days ago. and it is
understood that his object in going to Ohio was
two-thirds TO see Blaine and one
third to make speeches The sub
ject Of the conference was the probability
OF the Prohibitionsts placing electoral ticket
in the field in Iowa. 1t is understood that among
the things the Republican managers are anxious
not to see done is the nomination of st. John and
Daniel electors. Senator Allison believes that
the greater portion of those voting the Prohibit
ton ticket in Iowa would be Republicans. With
fusion between Butler and the Democrats it
would be imperative that the entire Republican
strength shall be polled. For that reason the
managers put their heads together to prevent a
Prohibition electoral ticket from being NOM
mated. By arguing the waste OF
time labor and money in putting up a ticket
The Republicans hoped to preventit, but it was
said they would not stop at an attempt to buy up
the Prohibition leaders by promises or money IL
they could not accomplish their object by other
means. Chicago Prohioitionist is authority
for the statement that st. John has been the OBJ
ject Of brides, threats and cajolery since his
nomination in an effort1o have him withdraw.
The Republicans also originated a rumor that
St. John was negotiating trade and was likely
to sell out. This was to hurt him among Pro-
hibitionists. A member of subcommittee Of
the national Democratic campaign committee ar
rived from New York to-day to ascertain the pos
sbe prohibitionvote in Illinois. He said all ef-
forts to force st. John OF the track had been
unsuccessful and that be would stick.

THE TIRIFF.

Blaine is ranting and raving on the stump
in favor of the highest Protection, and de-
nouncing Democrats as free traders, en-
deavoring thus to thrust the tariff issue into
the campaign, to ''darken COUNSEL" and to
turn away the discussion of his personal and
official delinquencles and corruption into
another channel. In this he is as kuavish
as he has been in other parts Of his political
career. Mr.. Blaine may be able to divert at
tention from the real matters at issue, but SO
far he only makes more conspicuous the
thing aimed, namely, the desire of the peo-
pie to secure Honest government. The
New York public were not caught by the
Blaine tariff rattle. The Rochester Union
very happily presents the true Democratic
position saying that the preconcerted effort
in progress among certain Republican news
papers Of the "freshern sort, to commit the
Democratic party wholly aud irreyocably to
the doctrine of free trade, without rebate or
drawback of any kind, is both improper and
unkind.
Says the Union, ''There is q settled preju-
dice in the minds Of Americans, and in the
minds of Democrats, quite as much as in those
of Republicans, against direct federal taxa
ton; and since the federal government
must have money, and great deal Of it,
there Is no possibility of a cessation Of taxa
ton by means of duties on imports, and
therefore free trade is an absolute impossi-
biity which no sane body Of men will waste
time in discussing as a question of practical
politics during this generation. We will
have tariff whether We want one or not,
and the only question is as to what kind OF
tariff it shall be, and what object 1t shall aim
at. The Republicans are wild lot Of ex
IRENE protectionists. The true Democratic
position is admirably summed up, in the
words OF Congressman Greeuleaf, to be ga
tariff for revenue, so revised and so adjusted
as to relieve the people from the burden o.
unnecessary taxation, and at the same time
| to protect the industries Of the country K
the extent that such tariff, equitably i'm
posed, would necessarily protect
There can be no question that this repre-
sents the idea of great mass Of thinking
Democrats, not only as to the proper charac'
ter and object OF tariff, but as to the con
stitutiouAl power of congress to levy such
tax The tariff is 4 tax, and congress is onlI
empowered to levy taxes for the purpose o
raising needed revenue for public uses; ant
If it lays them for any other purpose, it ex
ceeds its granted power. That is Democrat,
doctrine, and has always been, and an.
newspaper or so-called leader laying dow
an antagonistic principle does not represen
the same party that Jefferson belonged to
no matter whether it or he calls Itself or him
self Democratic or not.

1t is stated that the English public are get
ting quite sensitive, indeed alarmed at the
weakness of their navy, which is found to be
quite inferior to the naval ornaments Of
France and Germany. Discussion on this
point is quite active, and it is considered that
in the event of European war England
wonld be taken at great disadvantage
The result will be the strengthening of the
navy,b by the construction of more iron-clads
torpedoes, etc. How contemplate does the
United States government appear in the alb
sence of any official naval armament, when
compared with the great powers of Europe,
and how utterly powerless is it for either
aggressive or defensive action in case of an
emergency, one should arise. The official
functionaries of this goyernmet, since the
civil war, have been too much absorbed in
personal self-seeking, frauds, and corruption
to give proper heed to the public safety, by
preparing needed maratine defenses.

next January. There are only two obstacles
standing in the way to prevent the young
prince from occupying the English throne,
namely, his grandmother and his Father.
1t is possible that before these obstacles are
removed, the British people may become
tired of an expensive, luxurious, tax absorb

royalty may never reach the exalted position
for which he is booked. a strong opposition
to granting this sinecure of $4,000 year

Blaime's Mining Interestss

CHICAGO, Oct. al won't consent to have my
name published for reasons that are apparent"
said prominent Ohio coal miner to q reporter
to-day, ''but 1 can exhibit documents which
show that one of the things which Mr.. Blaine is
now engaged in in Ohio is an attempt to settle
the labor troubles in the Hooking valley region.
The continued troubles there have had very
bad effect on Blaines canvass. The Democratic
papers have not hesitated to declare that Blaine
is not only identified with interests opposing the
miners, but he has been boldly charged
with an interest in the Columbus &
Hooking Coal & Iron company. Mr.. Rend
told the truth when he said that Blaine
had no interest in this company. Whether he
has not, the fact remains that labor strikes in
Ohio are unwelcome things the eve of an
election which so much depends. A powerful
effort is being made to have them settled, and /
have reason to believe that Donald Cameron
went up to New York from Pennsylvania and
Cyrus Field hurried east to meet Jay Gould and
others of Mr.. Blsine's friends to confer on the
best means OF putting an end to the strike. The
powerful influence OF the Gould and Field inter-
ests is to be thrown at the owners Of the mines,
and look to a settlement OF the difficulties very
soon. The Columbus & Hooking company could
afford to give in in return for q consideration
until after election"
