DETROIT. Nov. i.--Republicans claim and
all wsll.iniormed Democrats conoede that
Michigan will 20 for Blaine on Tuesday next.
The plurality is placed at $4,000. On the State
ticket the result Is far from certain. II is OK
pected that the head Of the Republican State
ticket will be carried through by Blaine. and
Gen. Alger's supporters and the canvassers OF
tho Republican party place his plurality st
from 5000 to 5000. The Prohibition vote is an
unknown quantity. but 1t Is believed by evory-
body that II will reach from 10000 to 20.OOO
These are the hguros most generally quoted.
although leading Prohibitionists put the prob
able vote for Preston at from 10000 to 30, 900.
On the Prohibition showing the outlook for
Alger Is not at all brilliant.
In 1880 tho Republicans won by majority Of
8.15O over the combined vote OF Democrats and
Greenbackers. In 1882 tho latter two parties
fused. and the Republicans wore defeated by

The Grace and Donohue Controversy.

On the eve OF the Mayoralty election OF
1880. Mr.. WILLIAM r. GRACE, then n candi.
date for Mayor, after consultation with Mr..
Justice CALVIN Z. PRATT and Mr.. Justice
CHARLES DoNoHUE OF tho Supreme Court,
applied to Judge VAN BRuNT in tho Court OF
Common Pleas, to be naturalized, and was
thereupon admitted to citizenship. Ile had
taken out minor allen papers In 1867, but 1t
was thought by Mr.. GRACE's advisors. II not
by himself, that there was enough doubt
about the legality Of his first naturalization
to make 1t desirable for him once moro to
seek admission to citizenship. II went
direct from his Judge DoNoHuR's) rooms" /"
says Mr.. GRACE. "to Judge VAN BRUNT,
whore was naturalized, and acted on his
(DoNoHUE's) advice"
Such are the admitted facts. but In their
discussion collateral Issue has arisen be-
tween Mr. GRACE and Judge DoNoHuE. The
Inter AYERS that Mr.. GRACE admitted to him
In 1880 that the naturalization OF 1867 was
granted on an application buscd upon false
aflldnvits. This statement MIR. GRACE char
acterizos as false and malicious, and he adds
that Judge DoNouuE Is inimical to him be-
cause he GRACE. when Mayor, refused to
appoint Mr.. BOYD u Tax Commissioner and
another attorney Police Justice. In reply.
Judge DoNoHUE says that he "never asked
for BoYDs appointment rs Il Tax Commits
sionor and whom GRACE proposed tho APP
pointmcnt to BOYD, advised BOYD not to
accept it,
In confederation OF this, Mr.. WILLIAM A.
BOYD says that immediately after Mr.. GRACE
was inauguratcd as Mayor Of this city, Gen.
WILLIAM F. SsiITH resigned his post as
Police Commissioner, and MIR. GRACE offered
him tBoYD, the position. and that no do
clined TO accept the appointment upon tho
advice of Judge DoNoHuE. Subsequently"
says Mr. BOYD, MIR. GRACE. unsolicited,
offered to name mo as ono Of the COmms-
sioners Of Taxes. and Judge DoNoHUE ad-
vlscd me not to take the position, as 1t was out
OF tho limo Of my profession as lawyer"
So the quarrel stands, with tho statement
OF Mr.. GRACE fatty denied by Judge DoNo-
HUE and Mr.. BOYD. But all this discussion
Is irrelevant. Why Justice Of the Supreme
Court dislikes Mr.. GRACE. or what the form
or's motive in opposing him may be, is of no
earthly importance to the public. Mr.. GRACE
seems to forget that u satisfactory solution
of tho question whether or no no Is a citizen
cannot DO found in anybody's motives for
cnmityt TO him. Looking at the matter judi
cially, we are of opinion that Mr.. GRACE, In
his letter, lodges tho real question. and
apparently does not oven seek to throw any
light upon It, As the case stands it can only
be satisfactorily solved by an action of quo
rdrdnio should Mr.. GRACE be elected Mayor.

When tho sole foundation and argument
for GROVER CLEvEbAND's candidacy. his al

by the revelations Of his relations with
MARIA HALrIN, his motley band oi support
ers imagined that they had found an
other ground on which to rest their ad-
vocacy OF such n candidate In his

This. as was represented by CLEvELAND's

the disrcputable character OF the woman.

scquently CLEVELAND must not be ccnsured.

The furbldding circumstances of his life

tion OF enlistlng what carnal sympathics
might exist In their audiences in CLEvE-
LANDS favor. 4 revolving audacity, but on
level of degradation with the candidate.
But whatever else he has done" said his
supporters, hc has not lied"
That idea now appears To have been as
much OF delusion as the other by MARIA
HALPIN's recent affidavit it is shown that
the reflections upon her character, by which
CLEVELAND and his friends hoped TO lessen
the general condemnation of himself are
as unwnrrantcd aud baseless as the reputa-
tion for morality through which this sense
less candidate was imposed upon n Demo-
cratic Convention.
Even II Mr. BLAINE had lied as often as the
Independent bureau OF defamation has on
dcavorcd to prove there would still be this
unmcasurablo difference between his men

one. CLEVELAND, in order to shield himself,
In his attempt to make tho ruin of the

The Elections for the German PnrIia.
meat.

The returns from the triennial election for
the Rcichstag come in slowly and, owing to
the large number of supplementary pollings
needed, several days must pass before the
comparative strength Of parties in the Ger
man House Of Commons can be defined with
precision. But enough is known to indicate
remarkable rcvulsion Of public sentiment
In large proportion of the constituencies.
Tho Clcricals Seem unlikely, II is true
to materially increase or diminish their
usual quota. but all the factions which
have recently concurrcd in supporting Bis
MARCk appear to have made striking gains,
while his irreconcilable opponent, the now
German Liberal party has met with dis
astrous losses. But the most surprising
feature of the contest Is tho momentum dis
played under the most dscouraging condi-
tiOns by the Socialist movement, whose
spokcsmcn will h"nccforth form n pondcrable
factor IN tho Chamber, and may bring about
some unexpected political combinations.
To seize the p'irport of tho returns that
reach us picccmeai by cable, we should keep
In mind the standard OF appraiscmcnt fur
ntshcd by tho party composition Of the last
Reiclistag. To this end We reproduce somo
figures from the official !S'atistisches Jdhy-
bnch fV,' das Deutsche Reich. Three years
ago the Chancellor's thoroughgoing sup
pOrters, under their diverse names of Con-
servatvcs and Free Conservatives, Sc
cured only seventy-eight seats and
his then vaclllating but now rcso-
lutte allies, the National Liberals.
but tG On the other hand tho Progresslsts
elected GO members and their coadjutors, tho
Seccssionists from tho old Liberal party
with whom they have since effected COM
plctc fusion), had 4G representatives. As to
the t'itramontancs on Clcricals who derive II
third namo from the fact that they occupy
the centre OF the Chamber, they could mus
tor Just 100 votes Of their own but the 10
Guclphs and Particalarists and the Is Poles
could usually be counted on to assist them In
important divisions. The Socialists, although
they cast all imposing fraction Of tho popu-
lar vote, obtained no more than twelve seats
but there were nine delegates OF the so-called
Peoples party, who sometimes united with
the Socialists and sometimes with the Lib
cral opposition. To mako up the total num-
Dor Of members of the last Reichstag (397) we
must add two Danes, one nondescrpt Lib
oral. and fifteen Alsace-Lorraincrs, all Of
whom desire self-governmcnt for their pro-
vince, and many Of whom are secretly hos
tile to any incorporation with Germany.
We havo thus far learned the decisive re-
suits OF the new election only as regards 1856
seats, or about a third of tho whole number
1t must also bc remembered that the cleo
toral districts first heard from are tho cities
or large commercial and manufacturing
