YORK FOR CLEVELAND

New York is sure for Cleveland
Let us see why 1t is sure for Cleve
land. In 1880 Garfield received /.
plurality Of p, 033 oyer Gen. Hancock
in New York State. Presiden'
Arthur very frankly admitted tina
Garfield 9 election was secured by
the use of "soap." Ex-senator Dor
sey in his confessions divulged tn.
fact that the "golden stream from
S%tephenson's bank" had kept down
the Democratic majorities and given
Garfield the vote of the State. Yet,
out of q total vote of 1,1O3, 945, the
meaere majority of q 900 was all the
enormous corruption of the Republi-
cans and their unbridled frauds could
secure.
In 1850 the Republican party was
solidly united on Garfield and
Arthur. Garfield was the chosen
champion of the HalfBreed faction.
Arthur was the boss and pet of the
Stalwart machine. Senator Conkling.,
Henry Ward Beecher, George w.
Curtis and Carl Schurz were on the
stump for the Republican ticket.
The Independent Republicans"
were enthusiastic for the candidates.
The Times, the Herald, the EVening
Post, Harper's Weekly, and Puck
were all earnest supporters of the
Republican nominees. To these
were added "the golden stream from
Stephenson's bank" and the machine
methods of Dorsey, Davenport ct al.
There will be no cheating or bribery
and corruption in New York this
year. The Democrats have the Gov
ernor, the Attorney-General of the
State and the prosecuting officer of
the city and county.
Again in place of unity the Re-
publican party is this year broken in
A large number of its best
men and most powerful organs sup
port Governor Cleveland and honest
government. Many thousands of Re-
putlicans throughout the State will
to support Blaine and to in
1Orse official dishonesty. The Butler
Earce is almost ended. No consider
able number Of persons will throw
away their votes on the clown of the
political circus.
In 1880 the Prohibition ticket, an
Insignificant side-show, received
,517 votes in New York. This year,
view Of Blaine's pusjllanimous
'd0dgeing" of ,he Prohibition issue,
x-Governor st. John will get at least
1900 votes in the State. The Irish
against Cleveland, as it has
,een called, turns out to be insignif-
cant. Naturalized citizens and
vorkingmen know that the Demo-
ratio party is and has ever been
heir steadfast friend. They will not
lesert the party when il is on the eve
ia great victory. The large Ger
nan vote of the State is practically
old for Cleveland.
This is why the Democracy of the
Union may count on New York's
electoral votes for Cleve-
and and the cause of clean, honest

Point Republicans propose to elect

1t is said that thirty-three mys-

ident. If this is so this new Know
Nothing organization has a more
dangerous hell upon the political
rights of foreign born citizens than
many suppose.

A LESSON IN BUSINESS.

One of the features of the will OF
the late John w. Garrett, which was
published in the MINER two or three
mornings ago, was the directions he
gave to his heirs in regard to the
management of he great rallload of
which he was President so many
years, and to the building up of
which he had devoted the better part
of his life. His management of the
road is an invaluable lesson in bus
mess whether mining, ra.lroading or
other large enterprises IN which inn
mense sums of mOner are invested.
When MI. Garrett was made Pres
ident of the Baltimore and Ohio in
1858 the road was on the verge Of
bankruptcy. As to dividends it paid
none, and none were expected. The
stock now say worth 200 bad never
been above 81, and generally it was
much lower. Before a year under
his presidency, however, it began to
pay. Then came the war, when the
use to which the road was put by the
government enhanced its value,
which was still further enhanced
afterward by the connections and
extensions which feed it. All this
has made 1t permanent property, and
managed upon the principles upon
which Mr. Garrett always managed
it, it must continue to be one OF the
great highways to the Atlantic sea-
board.
In the matter of railroad manage
.ent, the achievement for which
Garrett is most especially to be
honored, and which affords a lesson
to business men, is the fact tia. he
managed it purely upon bust
ness principles. Its stock is not
for its value upon the
dealings of a lot of gamblers in Wall
street. Indeed, it is not a part of the
business of th.so speculative
MI. CARROTS idea of a
railroad was that it is simply a bust
ness enterprise, and he showed that
ne could make one of the great trunk
ines of the country a success without
;he good will of either the bulls or
pears of the Stock Exchange. He
lid this by making the value of his
took dependent upon the dividends
md the dividends dependent on the
.arnings. He gave to his road an
not a speculative value, and
t stands to-day a monument of his
nterpri-e and sagacity.
This is said simply to point out the
act that the management of a rail
Dad is q business like that of any
ther; that the Management of all
or other enterprises depends
success upon the business qualifi-
atoms of those having charge, and
hat the business life Of John w.
is a lesson that will be
rized as one of the most instructive

ORIO'S VOTE.

The vote of Ohio at State and
Presidential elections since the
organization of the Republican party
Is given below. It will be noticed
that, with the exception of the Presi-
dental election of 1855, the State has
invariably gone Republican during
Presidential election years. Here
are the figures:

can majorities ranged from about
5000 to nearly 10000 an average of
about $1,000. the vote of 1875 ex>

us, it is but fair to presume that a
majority of less than 10000 at the
State election ON the 18th inst. will be
