TIE "sT. J0HNn VOTE.

LdH 81. JULY HO1H
Inter Ocean: The vote cast for St.
John in New York is over 10000. If
Cleveland has been elected to the presi-
dency it will be by this vote. No part
of the moral responsibility for the cleo
ton of Cleveland could be laid upon the
voters Of the Democratic party, for they
do not pledge themselves to any moral
code, and are therefore in no way
derelIct if they vote for q candidate who
has no morals. They do not profess
any hostility TO either intemperance or
immortality, and therefore nobody has
the right to expect any SUCH hostility in
their political action. If the Demo
cratic party puts up for the presidency 8
Mormon, gambler, debauchee, drunkard
or IibeEtine, the Democratic platform
may be searched in vein for any pro-
fessiOn with which such 8 candidate
comes in conflict. Il is far otherwise,

considerable moral recklessness. They
have done their best, while protesting
morality and righteousness, TO reward
with the presidency q man who has new
or yet had the entree to polite or moral
society in any part OF the country, and
who, If his associate in an admitted act of
vice testihes to the truth, should have
been awarded ten years in the peniten-
tiary instead Of four Of the presidency.
We trust they are able 20 congratulate
themselves upon the result Of their work.
And If the disaster has been warded of
and Blaine has been elected, We trust
they will carefully contemplate the deep
abyss into which they would have
plunged the country, and consider
whether they ought not to rejoice In
their own defeat.

wiling an inspection of its returns by a
joint Republican and Democratic CON-
