ExPEAskToRT.

Five minutes before we went to
press last week an associated press
dispatch was received here giving
what purported to be the official vote
OF New York, giving Blaine q plurai-
lty Of e15 which, II true, of course
would elect him.
We had merely time aud space to
make this announcement, which, as a
dispenser Of news, 1t was our duty to
do so. We understand that GONE
democrats have criticised Jour course
In the matter, bpt our friends must
remember that the DEMocRAr Is q
newspaper whose duty Il Is to dis
pense news whether good or bad.
Certainly, no one doubts the devotion
and fidelity Of the DExocRAr to the
democratic party but we are often call
ed upon to chronicle unpalatable news
and this,as a public journalist, with
out fear or favor.

The ordinary republican majority
in Buffalo where Gov. Cleveland has
his home Is 5000. Mr. Blaine had

pErECTs IN ouR PRKsTDExTTAL ELEC-
TroN SYSTEM.

Ex.Senator Buekalew Of Pennsylva-
mia says il must be agreed upon oil
hands that the evils, abuses and scan-
dals which attend our great elections
require some radical amendment OF
system which Ghall prevent their con.
tinuanee and increase In the future I;
therefore, attention should DO directed
to such salutary and efIectual changes
a. hare been proposed or can be devised
Cor our protection against such ascer-
tanned evils and dangars.
Prior TO 1874, Pennsylvania was .
hattie ground in Presidential elections,
and upon several occasions vsa. sums Of
money were expended within her limits
to control her vote. The cry was As
goes Psnosylfanis, 80 goes the Union,
and all the sinister influences which
may pollnte or affect elections were
called into existehcs here. The effects
arc Jet felt withia our State, and our
experience furnishes an instructive
lesson, not TO be overlooked or disre-
garded. But, among the substantial
reforms established by our Constitution.
al Convention Of 1873, was the changing
Of the time Of our general election from
the second Tuesdsy of October TO q
date in November uniform with that
established in most Of the other States
Undoubtedly this was . measure oi
reform and purifcation for Us but th,
evil which We escaped by judicioul
action remained in full force Ia Ohio
and Indiana and Jet remains with th,
former State, for the prodigions effort
made At the recent election in Ohio wal
nsinly owing 20 the Unchanged date a
which her people were called upon /,
pronounce their political opinions.
The remedy needed 70 mitigate o.
destroy the abuses and evils which hav,
obtained in our great elections mus
be radical and thorough in characls,
Preaching against thoss evils or expreI
sing regret at their occurrence will hav
little effect so long as the causes whicl
produce them are left to operate Wit
full force. We must remove the motiT
to do evil, .. least We must rende
Iiilesitimate influence upon election
comparatively unprcftable or fruitles
Of results. And this can certainly b
done by the adoption Of what Is know
as the Maish amendment 10 the Con
stitution Of the United States, eiths
in the form in which it was recommend
ed by 9 committee OF the House G
Representatives some years ago.or in
form substantially similar TO their re
ports.

AMI are thundering forth
their piaudits over the
victory Of the
right.
a GREAT VICTORY.

The history of the country fails to
record so extraordinary a political
victory as that gained By the Democra-
tie party in the election of Grover
Cleveland. When We consider the OBJ
stacles which the party had to overcome
to secure success, our amazenent is to
Be measured only By .he grandeur OF
the victory. When we look back over
the history Of the successes of the Re
publican party for the last twenty-five
years and consider the means which it
has used to secure these successes, when
We consider that much of the legislation
of congress from 1866 to 1874 was
eoacsed for the sole purpose of main
tanning and entrenching that party in
power, when we consider that every
department of government in all its
features has been administered with :
view of strengthening that party in
power, it challenges our admiration to
see the Democratic party with no laws
In its favor, with no federal ofics
holders to fight its battles and furnish
the sinews of war, In fact with nothing
but the righteousness Of iss cause to
recommend il TO the country, march on
and secure one of the most signal tri-
umphs in either modern or ancient poll
tics. We see it is the success of the peo-
pIa over a conclave of the most unscru-
pnlous and dangerous set Of ambitious
schemers that ever held power in any
government. It is timely check of
the rapid growth Of dangerous aristo-
cracy-one that would ultimately, and
maybe very soon, ,result in the destruct-
ion Of constitutional government. Tie
great body Of the people, whether DEM
ocrats or Republicans, are honest and
patriotic, and when they can act with
unPrejudged minds, they may safely be
relied upon to act in the direction of
good government and good morals.
But the rank and file of the Republican
party were misled and deceived as to
the objects aud purposes of their lead
ere, bat the scales have now fallen from
their eyes and these leaders will sink
tc political oblivion from which they
can never be resurrected.

The Murcury says: sIt Is fairly
estimated that at least $50, ,OO0 chang
ed hands In Portland over the result
Of the election. AT this rate IL would
be safe to assume that the Democrats
are at least SIC, 900, 900 ahead throug-
ont the United States, and the Repub-
llcan party Is that much worse of. II
is doubtful IL the money bet and lost
Is not worth more than the Presiden-

II Is matter worthy Of particular
note, that the very large vote which
Mr.. CIev eland received In Massachus-
etts, Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey, Rhode Island, Indiana and
several other northern and northwes-
tern states, despite The large Irish de-
fection frum the democratic party, ,is
due to the influence and support oi
the protestant clergy who In good
conscience could not support Mr..
Blaine In view of his very questions

rms enElTTaT carr = TaE WORLD.

A correspondent Of the New Orleans
Democrat says, as great many Of your
readers labor under "a erroneous i'm
preston as to which city is the largest
in the world, probably the following
few wolf authenticated statistics may
not be out Of place in ypur widely read
Journal. London, ,England,is the great
est city the world ever saw. Il Is the
heart Of the British Empire and the
world. Il covers within the fftscn
niles radius oi Charing Cross (Strand) J
700 square miles. It numbers within
these boundaries 100000 Of inhabi-
tants. II comprises over 100000 for
signsrs from every qusiser Of the globe.
It contains more Roman Catholics than
Rome itself more Jews than the y hole
of Palestine more Irish than Dublin ;
more Scotchmsn than Edinburgh !;
more Wslshmen than Cardiff more
county raised persons than the counties
Of Dlvon, Warwickshire and Durham
combined. Has birth In Il every Eve
minutes has . death in II every eight
minutes has seven accidents every day
in its 5000 miles Of strests has on an
average forty miles Of streets opened
and $4,000 new houses built In II
every year. In 1883 there we're added
22,1l0 new houses TO the vast aggregate
Of dwellings which il called the metrop-
oils, thus forming SOS new streets and
one new square, covering . distance of
sixty-six miles and sighty-four yards.
IL is difficult to form any mental picture
from these figures. Brighton,the queen
Of watering places, in 1881 bad 20.379
inhabited houses, 30 that London in
1883 added to itself town bigger than
Brighton, Il would require two CAM
bridges, or Oxfords, or Baths 20 repre-
sent the addition made to London in a
single year. London has $4,000 per-
sons annually added by birth TO it's
population has over 1000 ships and
10000 sailors In its port every day ;
has as many beer shops aud gin palaces
as would, il placed side by side, stretch
from Oharing Gross to Portsmouth, q
distance Of seventy-eight miles has
$4,000 drunkards annually brought
before its magistrates has seventy
miles Of opsn shops every Sunday has
an influence with ell parts of the world
represented by yearly delivery in It's
postal districts Of 29S, 900, 900 letters
Eight hundred and fifty trains pass
Clapham Junction every day, and the
Transportation Underground Railroad
runs l21l trains every day. The Lon
don Omnibus Company have over 700
buses, which carry 90, 100000 passen-
gers annually. 1t is more dangerou,
to walk the streets of London than to
travel by railroad or TO cross the Atlan.
tic from New Orleans to Liverpool.
Last year 130 persons were killed and
2e00 injured by vehicles in the streets.
There are in London 15,000 police,
$4,000 cabmen, 10 900 persons connect
ed with the psstoffice. The cost of gas
for lighting London annually is $3, 900, !
600. London has 400 daily and weekly
newspapers. Last year there were
nearlJ 600 fires. The ancient snd fa-
NOUS City Of London was first founded
BY Brute, the Trojan, in the year of the
world, 1882, so that since the first
building it is S006 years old. The
drainage system of London is superb,
and the death rate very low.
