THERE Is not q doubt that there has
been a great deal of fraud in the elections
in the state of New York. 1t could not
have been otherwise in q political contest
of such magnitude in a state having more
than 1000, 900 population. The election
involved not only the presidency but con-
gressmen, legislature, and various NUM-
cipal and county officers. 1t would not
be natural nor reasonable to charge all
the fraud on one side. While much that
we hear about the frauds in New York
will doubtless prove true, some of the
cock and bull stories are too absurd to be
entertained by any intelligent person.
Among these is the report that hundreds
of ballots for Ben. Butler were credited
to Cleveland in Troy and other places.
In the first place the inspectors and clerks
of election are required by law to DO cho'
sen from the various parties, and it would
be almost impossible for the democrats
to have elected Butler, Blaine and st.
John without detection. In the next
place, tho citizens of New York do not
vote directly for president. The names
Of the candidates do not appear on the
tickets. New York is entitled to thirty
six electors, and IL is simply preposterous
to say that the ssthirty-six names on the
Butler ticket which differed throughout
from the names on the Cleveland ticket,
should BIO counted for the democratic
candidate. Ben Butler il reported to
have credited the statement that tickets
cast for him were counted for Cleveland.
If this is true, Ben Butler is a bigger
fraud than we ever believed him tc be,
and we always have ranked him among
the greatest political frauds this country
has ever produced.
Omaha daily bee., 1884-11-10

Ten days before the election q supple.
ment was issued In THE WEEKLY BEE
with an address to the voters, advising
them to prepare their tickets at home sc
that they might choose intelligently from
among the various candidates the men
most fitted for their s~uffrages. On the
same page with this address there were
printed five different tickets, which were
blank o the opposite side. By cutting
ut this portion of the supplement il
could BIO transformed into a ticket and
voted. Three or four days before the
election the second assistant postmaster
general, Mr.. Mari, notified this office by
telegraph that this supplement was lille.
gal, and could not go through the mails,
Tho complaint appears to have originated
with Jim Laird's postmaster at Hastings,
urged on, we presume, by the statesman
from Sinking Water creek, who enjoys
the sole privilege of sending his "pulver
izing" newspaper documents, over hi
frank, through the mails, although they
were in no sense portions of the congress
sional records. Immediately after THU
embargo was laid Oh the BEES supple
ment a hue and cry of fraud was raised
by the Omaha Republican, which wal
echoed by the little and big sky terriers
that bark at our heels. On the
morning of election day both the New
York Sun and Journal In their daily
editions, which went through the mail.
without an embargo from the assistant
postmaster general, contained tioheti
printed on one page, blank on the reverse,
aud the advice in black letters, "Cut
this out and vote it," There we're five
Butler tickets and one republican ticket
in the columns of the Sun, while the
Journal had republican and democratic
tickets. Why didn't Mr.. Mari issue al
edict against the New York papers and
declare them outlawedl 1t may, perhaps,
have been fortunate for Mari that our
papers had all gone through the mails
when his order declaring them illegal
was issued, else We should have appealed
the case to a higher authority.

The city officials will do a great favor
to a suffering community by putting o
stop to the epidemic of horn-blowing that
has broken out In Omaha as one of the
results of the election. 1t was started by
the men, and taken up by the boys, and
now from early morning until late at
night horn blowing is heard from one end
of the town to the other. 1t has certain.
ly become a great nuisance. The mayor
should Mt once Issue an order absting it,
and the marshal should then order the
police to arrest every one blowing a horn
In fact, he can proceed without any
order from the mayor as this horn blow
ing is certainly a disturbance of the psace
of the community. Another thing that
should be stopped is the parading of dis
orderly crowds, who go about the streets
not only blowing horns, but yelling and
shouting, and making night hideous. If
this ID allowed to continue it is liable to
result in riots. In other cite. the police
have put an end to horn blowing and dis
orderly street gangs, and there is no
reason why it can't be done In Omaha.

THE st. Louis Globe Democrat asks
what other people on earth could pass
through an experience of such intense
anxiety and uncertainty as has prevailed
in the United States for the last few
days with such general good humor and
SO much of reasonable patience and self
control3 A similiar condition of things
In almost any other nation of the world
would inevitably have brought on public
frenzy, riot and bloodshed. We are a
rash and headstrong people in some re-
spects, but when 1t is necessary to be
cool and c~onsiderate we are never found
wanting"

WHEN the Chicago national republican
convention met, and prudent republicans
urged the necessity of nominating some,
body who could carry New York, the Blaine
boomers retorted contemptuously that
New York was not necessary, and that
Mr.. Blaine was not only sure to carry
the Pacific states, but every northern
state outside of New York, with a fair
chance of West Virginia, North Carolina
and Florida. Now that these political
wreckers have stranded the republican

The result of the election in Dough-.
county, according to tho official returng,
is very instructive. While the democrats
were much better organized than the re.
.publicans, Blaine and Logan carried the
county by 43s majority, which goes to
show that the republicans of all factions
supported the national ticket. In spite
OF the feeling against j. Sterling Morton

dislike of the old.time democrats, Nor.

ceiyed in his own county. Mr.. Dawes
runs behind the national ticket 9l7 votes.
Judge Beneke's vote in Douglas county is
very complimentary, and he may wellfeel
proud of it. While Blaine and
Logan carried the county By 43S, Judge
Beneke received a majority Of 1,I93,
which shows that he ran ahead Of the
national democratic ticket 1851. MIR.
Montgomery also received a handsome
compliment in the vote of Douglas
county. He has a majority of G54, or
1,002 ahead Of the vote for Cleveland
and Hendricks. Mr.. Nels Alberts,
fusion candidate for commissioner Of
public lands, has a majority Of 40. He
could iuet as we'll have had Lao If he
had exerted himself, and no doubt would
have been elected had he made a canvass
among his Scandinavian friends. The
high esteem in which Charles II. Brown
is held by the citizens of Omaha and the
people of Douglas county is evidenced by
the overwhelming majority which he
received. In a vote of $3.50 he has q
majority of 3137. In other words Mr..
Brown ran 1915 ahead of Cleveland and
Hendricks. Colonel Smythe, who heads
the republican legislative ticket, received
only 1868 votes, whilo Mr.. McShane,
who heads the democratic legislative
ticket, received $500. Colonel Smythe
ran 1929 behind the republican electors,
while McShane runs 1861 ahead of the
democratic electorS. While Mr.. Goodwin
carries this county by sol, he could Just
