, LONDON, Nov. S.-The Times this morr-
ing in a leader devoted to the American
Presidential contest says: It IS unlikely
that there will be any serious attempt to
contest the result OF the election. Blaine
is man OF great gifts and an accom-.
plished speaker, bu. he has unhappily
identified himselfwithspeculatiye schemes
ana moneyed interests. Cleveland has
few brilliant qualities. His public career
has been comparatively brief and modest,
but he, has shown a high sense OF public
duty and will faithfully discharge his trust
without iavoring either the mapnates
Of Wall street or demagogues It ia to be
hoped that Senator Bayard will accept nm
office under Cleveland. Mr.. Bayard is a
man Of the highest integrity and ability.
and will not dlscredit the best traditions
Of American diplomacy. Democrats must
now show that they are true 10 the prin.
cipleso politicalpur and administrative

especially on the Republican side, has dis.
closed the existence OF 4 widespread cor

Hardly had the echoes Of the first gun
died away when flag was run up on the
City Hall itself, and this was followed by
another and still another until five Ma
tional flags were flying all at once, to the
surprise ofstraugers and citizens alike, SO
unusual is it to to see a partisan triumph
so boldly recognized and rejoiced over by
the authorities Of great city whose peo-
pie are composed OF different political
parties. Mayor Edison, as he came out OF
the Aqueduct Commission, was asked:
"Can You tell why the flags are flying
from the City Hall today" n, 3 80
You can say," the Mayor answered,
''that,t ,the1 flags Of the city hall are under
the absolute control OF the Mayor, and for
reasons OF my own thought it good day

Ohio and West Virginia.


The Buckeye State will vote for
state officers on Tuesday, October
Ia, so will Vest Virginia.
The Bourbon Democracy are al
ready attempting to discount an
apprehended Republican victory
in Ohio and a greatly reduced
Bourbon majority in West Virgi.
MIA which has usually given a very
large majority in proportion to its
popular vote. A reduced Bourbon
majority in West Virginia would
be ominous ola Republican victory
there in November, and would re-.
duce the maintenance OF the
"Solid South" In two of the four
Congressional districts the Repub.
Leans have nominated Ex.Confed.
crates for Congress, and boast
among their leaders and in their
ranks many of the same class of
voters.
Ohio's vote will practically de-
eide the November result, if it
shall show a Republican victory.
In all recent elections Ohio has IT,.
dicated decided Democratic lean.
ings mainly through the adroit use
of the liquor question by the De.
mOcracy. The present Governor is
a Democrat, although a few years
ago he was an advocate of negro.
equality. One of the two Senators
is a Democrat, and two-t thirds of
the representations in the lower
house Of Congress is Democratic.
If not in Ohio where will Cleve-
lard look for strength in the great
central states! Blaine's friends
are as confident of New York as of
Pennsylvania. Tammany Hall,
with its forty thousand votes, gives
Cleveland a cold and cOntemptuOus
support. The Irish of New York
City will not vote for the British
candidate for President, and Ben
Buffers candid acy is welting into
the Democratic strength in all the
manufacturing towns.
Yet should Ohio go Republican
in October, look out for Bourbon
explanations to the effect that no
other result was to have been ex-
pected. The Bourbon leaders will
say eve did not calculate on o hio,"
and their followers will think the
statement all right.

in it is found the following.
"That religion, or duty we owe
