The New York Sun, democratic, does
not think the doings of the New York
state conventions exhibit any great de-
sire of the democracy for the nomination
OF Mr.. Cleveland. In an article of some
length upon the subject, The Sun con-
cludes: eff Mr.. Cleveland were really
the choice of the Saratoga convention,
and if the delegates 20 Chicago had been
instructed to support him there, his nom.
ination would have been probable. But,
as the case Eow stands, an interesting
uncertainty still prevails upon the sub
ject, and if Mr., Cleveland is finally nomi.

democracy want him, but because, On

New JERSEY is taking front place in
the republican ranks. The Trenton
State Gazette says:
Our advices from all parts of the state
are to the effect that the nomination of
James G. Blaine has kin1led in the re-
publican party of New Jersey an enthu.
siasm and confidence such as it meyer
felt before. There is no dissatisfaction
and no klckers. but on the contrary a
strong feeling of confidence that Blaine
and Logan will sweep the state.

THE statement telegraphed from this
city that the German Republicans sym
pathize with the Herold in its revolt IS
utterly without foundation. There are
not half dozen Republicans in the city
who are known to the public who will
refuse to vote for Blaine and Logan. It
is due to The Herold to say that it has
taken its stand without any regard to the
sentiment of the German Republicans
and more from growing disposition to
growl and to antagonize its own friends
than from any convictions. 1t is simply

BOg 70 MAKE NEW-YORK SURE

a fact worth serious consideration seems
to have escaped the notice of many delegates to
the Chicago Convention. NewIork has been
a sure Republican State in Presidential contests
since the war, only when the tariff question has
been sharply involved.
The anti-slavery issue, with powerful desire
to escape from Democratic free trade, gave the
Republicans $4,000 majority in 1860. In
1864, with all the patriotic feeling which the
war aroused, the State was saved by the soldier
vote with bare majority of $500 for Mr..
Lincoln. In 1868 General Grant lost the State
by 10000. But prior to 1872 there had been
tariff agitation in Congress for more than
year. as there has now; free trade Democrats
and some Republicans had insisted upon "re-
FORM and some reduction of duties had been
made. The free trade Democrats in large num-
Der refused TO vote for Mr.. Greeley, and the Re-
publican majority was $4,000. In 1876 the
tariff issue was cvaded by the cry of admins
tratvc reform; no prior agitation had brought
the question home TO the people; and Mr..
Tilden carried the State by nearly $4,000. But
in 1850 the threat OF "a tariff for revenue
only became the main issue the workmcn in
their shops and mills were thoroughly aroused
about it, the Republicans gained 50 surprisingly
in the manufacturing centres that many, even
to this day, assert that fraud must in some un-
discovered way have swcllcd their vote and the
State gave General Garfield 200 majority.
Detailed comparison Of gains at the chief manu-
featuring centres makes the lesson still more
impressive. And the same lesson is taught by
Congressional elections, ever since the war.
Ncw-YorIl is a sure Republican State only when
the tariff question is pressed sharply upon the
attention Of voters, and thousand, of working
men support the Republican party in order to
save their industries from prOstratiOn.
Is there any candidate who presents this Issue
sharply in his own person whose public record
and whose zeal and power in the advocacy of
protection for home industry would force this
question upon the attention of voters, and
whose nomination by the Republican party
would instantly command the confidence and
cnkindlc the enthusiasm of friends of the pro-
tectvc system? If there is, he is the candidate
whose nomination should make Ncw-YOrk
sure Republican State.

fused. Attempted dctation, by those who
profess to carry the independent vote" IN
their pockets, and threats of boiling if either
Mr.. Blaine or President Arthur should be
selected, have done much to pave the way for
hearty union of sincere and loyal Republicans.
Z" am holer than thou has become nauseating
to all Republicans, whether Half Breed or Stall
wart. The charge that nine-tenths of the Re-
publicans who prefer Mr.. Blaine or Mr.. Arthur
are fond of vice or lacking in sense, and that
the one-tenth only are patriotic and pure, has
brought reaction. The designs of the free trade
cabal are understood and resented. Those who
have preferred strong men do not care to have
them set aside for some unknown nonentity.
Mr.. Blaines real greatness, and his remarkable
personal popularity, help to make him candi-
date upon whom all the elements and leaders in
the party in this State can unite, and with such
union success is clearly within reach. The
sure way to carry NewYork is to bring about
that union, upon a candidate whose protective
record and whose personal popularity with both
help to strengthen the Republican party.

TIE sUPPRESSION or CLIMBING.

Ii is said that since the Roosevelt Committee
made its report the gambling houses have been
reopened and are running rs if nothing had
happened. The difficulty OF suppressing gam
bling has often led to suspicious concerning
police fidelity, and during the R0Ose welt inquiry
some suggestive testimony on that head was
brought Out. But it does not seem to be
sufficiently realized that to explain the persist
ency Of the gambling establishments two things
have to be assumed: first, a class Of pro-
fessi0nal gamblers; second, large class Of
habitual players at gambling games In other
words, it must DE understood that the gamblers
real strength lies in the fact that they supply a
well defined want and it is the existence of this
want, that Is to say the existence of wide
spread taste for gambling, that renders it so
hard to suppress the practice, and that makes it
worth the while of the gamblers to break the
law, to purchase immunity by brides, to go to
great and constant expense in many WAYS
There is, in short, public which supports gam
bling, and it is this public which must be
reached before it can be possible to do more
than drive the professional gamblers into con-
cealment for time
But how is this gambling public to be
reachcdY The object of course must be to con-
quer the passion for gambling, and how can
such conquest be hoped for while gambling of
n far moro extensive and dangerous character
is recognized by society as perfectly legitimate

RR0WY ON me TT,H ELL.

Senator Brown, of Georgia, holds that the
Utah bill now pending contains uncOnstitu-
tional provisions. but he has not fortified his
position by attacking the morals of New Eng
land His assertions on that subject have been
staple with the MoImOns from the beginning,
but they arcinOt in the nature of sound reasons
for legalizing polygOmy. 1t may be admitted
that there are many things in monogamic COM
munitics which are wrong. There is a cOnsen-
sus Of opinion upon the evil of loose divorce
laws, for example, and earnest efforts are being
made to remedy that evil
Those who believe in monOgamy look upon
polygamy as precisely such an evasion of
moral problem as would consist in an attempt
to do away with theft by abolishing the right of
private property. Homogeneous government
cannot suppress immortality, but it makes it
illegal and disgraccful, and discOurages and
checks it. Polygamy pretcnds, on the other
hand, to eliminate immortality but it does so by
virtually striking the word out Of its dictionary.
In other words, it lcgtimizcs that which monOg
amy inhibis, and so it gets rid of a difficulty
by sacrificing the moral sense Of its votalics.
The difference between MOrmonsm and AmeIi-
caniSm is, substantially. that the former de-
bases the moral standard so low that every
body may reach it while the latter sets the
moral standard so high that the cvildoers
are outlawcd This is a vital difference, for it
signifies that the first system is degrading and
the second eleyating. Mormonism tends to
drag all down to the level of poygamy
Amercanism tends to lift all up to the level of
an ideal mOnogamy.
For these reasons the attack Of Senator
Brown upon New England was Irrelevant and
futile, and had no real bearing upon the qucS-
ton at issue. Poygamy can never be defended
in that way, and neither can monogamy be
made to appear 4 failure by showing that all the
world has not yet been educated up to the
moral level which it marks and occupies.

ing upon the evils Of gambling in any form
Every one sees that the attempt to draw dis
tinction between the two kinds of gambling Is
really frivolous and futile; that it is straining
out the gnat and swallowing the camel. The
obvious fact is that the man who deals i'll - u-
turesn on the Street Is just rs much gam
bier as the man who "coppers the ace" at faro,
and It makes no moral difference whether
dollars or millions are concerned Wall Street
IT, moreover, great national school or gam
bling, and its influence in cultivating the
passion for what is euphemistically called
"speculation is n thousand fold greater than
that OF all the so called gambling games in the
country.
Now if it is good thing that men should so
employ their faculties and means, if it Is
legitimate business to deal in fictitious values,
if the kind of course which fills the journals with
dcfacatons, frauds, thefts, embezzlements,
bankruptcies and suicides is one which ought to
be encouraged and approved, then there can
certainly be no particular harm in little faro,
or draw poker, or seven-up, and it is a mere
aflectation to interfere with these amusements.
To stop the latter and applaud the former is,
moreover prepOsterous. Wall Street gambling
does more mischief III one I1outi tutli buc othOi
forms of gambling do in ten years. The other
forms are little more than annexcs to it. Specu-
lators in the daytime are gamblers at night,
quite naturally, and the one form leads to the
other almost as n matter of course.
But because this Is so we cannot make fish Of
one and flesh of tho other. Gambling is gam
bling, whether it be done at the Stock Ex-
change, on the curbstOne, or over green cloth;
and the world realizes this, no matter what
futile attempts may be made to put the things
into different categories. 1t may be that the
common passion for gambling in some form Is
as yet too strong and prevalent to be attacked
successfully. But certainly no useful prepare
ton can be made for reformatOry movements
by ignoring the actual state OF the case, and
pretending that while one form Of gambling is
immoral and against public policy, another
and infinitely moro harmful form is Il praise
worthy and meritorous pursuit. The public
are not deceived by such subterfuges, and such
subterfugcs only weaken their moral scnsibility
and give them a contempt for reform doctrines.
