IT is fact greatly to be regretted that
the fair fame of our public schools has been
tainted by the breath of scandal.
It is far better, however, that the accusa-
tions should have come officially and in the
form of an investigation by tho Commits
sioneIs than in any other way.
Our schools arc among the best in the
country. The pupils arc tho children of
our best citizens, tho teachers are conscen-
tiOus and efficient and the results are uni-
foImly satisfactory.
IF there is Encouragement or dishonesty,
If parents or pupils are subjected to un-
necessary expense, If any defects exist, let
them be exposed and corrected.
There should be absolute confidence in
the school management; If it is pure, hon
est and effective, let it be vindicated be-
yond question from the slurs that have
been cast upon IL.
II is to be hoped that the Commissioners
will bo thorough and systematic. in their
inquiry.
The school scandal must rchect oithor
upon the accused or upon the accusors.

THOMAS CREAMEE, prominent Demo-
cratic politician of New York city Tam
many, says there will not bo more than
$4,000 or 10000 votes difference between
Blaine and Cleveland in New York city
That is 10000 more than John Kelly put it
tho other day, and would give Blaine
10000 majority in the Empire State .
That'll do!

THE situation in New York is highly on
couraging to the Republican cause. All at
tempts of the different Democratic factions
in New York city to unite on one city
ticket have proved abortive. Tammany
appears to command the municipal situa-
tion, as she is compact, aggressive, has
splendid ticket, and is driving ahead With
irresistible power to the point she aims at
control Of tho city government. Having
indorscd the National ticket so as to keep
her record straight, she gave herself no
further concern In regard to it. Tho result
is, that the only real contest now going on
in the Empire City is local one, and for
local positions. The Presidency has been
entirely lost sight of, though, of course,
little rub.a-dub is kept up by some of the
factions so as to show that they know that
Presidential contest is pending.

INTELLIGENCE has reached this city from
Mississippi Of tho most alarming character.
1t seems, from what has been commuui-
Gated to gentlemen in this city, who have
correspondents in Mississippi in a position
to know what is going on, that general
crusade has been entered upon against Re-
publican nominees for Congress and all who
support them, and bloodshed and massacre
may be looked for at any moment. Mt.
Lynch, Republican candidate for Congress
in the bloody Copiah District, has boon
compelled to cancel all his engagements in
that county aud has had to flee for his life.

Civil Service Reform

Our democratic civil service retormers
are beginning to show their hand already.
They are not so much in favor OF distribut-
ing offices according to the Pendleton plan
as they were. They have already attacked
post-offices in some places waylaid and
beaten letter carriers, and in the southern
States obliged federal officials to abandon
their posts to save their lives Such mob
ocratic demonstrations as these are not the
only signs that civil service reform is going
to be swept entirely away if Grover Cleve-
land becomes President. Tuesday even

The next speaker to Mr.. Hendricks was

following declaration of democratic policy
in regard to changes in office:

believes ia honesty. He may be poor in

FAC SMILE OF An HosEsr BALLOT THRowS
Orr BIZ A DEMOCRATIC Counting BOARD.

From the Biddeford Journal, Wednesday
Evening.
| The count of New York city is in progress
to-day The result of that count it is conf
IDENTIFY believed will be to wipe cut past hope
of recognition Cleveland's claim to the Pres
idency. and give that honor to Mr.. Blaine,
whose rightfu heritage it is. In demanding
an honest count the republicans have not
proposed 10 rest their claims to a plurality
vote upon fimsy techniealities but upon not
able instances of injustice and fraud. One
of them is, that 10 certain New York districts
an aggregate of not less than POO votes for
! Blaine was rejected on the ground that the
/ final letter of the name of one of the Electors
was clipped of in the trimming of the ballots
We are fortunate in being able to demon
strate to our readers TO what desperate straits
the democrats of New York were driven TO
| find an excuse for DISTINGUISHING these POO
republican voters. We present below fac
smile of the 2I0O ballots which were thus
| thrown out:

The original ballot. now in our possession,
of which the foregoing is an exact copy, was
forwarded before election, by Hon. Edwin
b Smith. from New York to A. f. Haley,
Esq of Kennebunk, as a sample of the bal
lots to be used in that city. The only error
or mark of imperfection upon it is the alb
senre OF part of the letter ID in the name
of William w. Butterfeld. which was acci-
IDENTIFY cut away by the printers in trimming
the votes Allowing that slight imperfection
invalidates the ballot so far as Mr.. Butter
field is concerned there is no shadow of rea-
son why this and every vote like it should
not be counted for every other name upon
them, none whatever. TIE honest counting
of these votes alone would give the state to
Mr. Blaine.
This is but sample case Other irregula-
rites, to call them by no harsher name, are
known and will undoubtedly be correctly set
lied The great party which stands behind
James G Blaine believe in their hearts that
he is honestly elected, and they will not ac
cept an opposite conclusion so long as a faint
of wrong attaches to the record of a single
ballot.
