The National Democratic Committee
recommended general celebration
throughout the United States on Sat-
urday last, for the victory Of Cleveland
and Hendricks. Without awaiting the
official result, the recommendation was
generally regarded with much noise
and shouting, particularly in the South
ern States. According to the tele-
graphic reports, in many Southern
towns the old rebel flags were brought
out and unfurled, the bands played
Dixie" and shouts were heard for
Jeff Davis. The negroes in many
localities were badly frightened, being
apprehensive they were doomed to be
remanded to slavery.

NEW YORK CITY AN INCUBUS
ON THE STATE.

Years ago the question was agitated
Of setting off the city OF New York
with Kings county into a separate
state. The Empire state, If cut loose
from the city, that great hive of
political iniquity, would be one Of the
grandest states in the Union. The
city, with it's congIomeration of PEG.
Piles of all nationAlities, tribes and
tongues, who have no fitness for self
government, and whose only education
is to be the willing tools of corrupt
political leaders, Is an incubus on all
the balance Of the state. All the
nolthern states cannot help feeling
an interest in the severance of the
country from the mass of corruption
in that city. New York city is one of
the most intensely Democ attic, as well
as the worst governed, in the Union
From a statement of its financial
affairs, it appears the city has an in
debtedness of $t1O,OOO,o00, which il
equal to about 800 per head for every
man, woman and child in the city
The expressed will Of the intelligen
people outside Of the city is defeated
by the ignorant masses Of the city
At each annual election the city il
arrayed against the county, always al
opposites, politically. The great stat'
of New York, leaving out the city
would have been overwhelming,
Republican at the late election; blu
the most respectable portion of tn
population Of the state have BEEF
dragged into the Grover Clevelan,
slough.

Some newspaper writer's have made
the discovery that Cleveland received
greater number of votes at the bal.
l0t-bOX in the United states than
Blaine. Those who make this state
ment have not the honesty to tell the
facts, for by so doing it would spoil
the point they wish to make. In at
least three of the southern states the
Republicans have decided majority,
IL permitted to vote, but in these
states the Republican vote was small,
for the reason the voters could have
had no protection of their lives at the
polls. In several other southern states,
Republicans were deferred from vot.
ing through fear of violence. 1t is by
such discreditable practices the Demo-
Gratis eXult in securing a greater
majority on the popular vote. In 1876
the same claim was made by the Demo
SAdtn OlldI lluCIL hhN d llldIO1lOy Vi GIl6
popular vote over Hays, when every
decently informed man knew the
Democrats polled full vote in the
southern states, and the Republicans
only light vote in most of the same
states because they were kept from
the polls by the bulldozing shotgun
policy. The same state of things pre-
vailed in 1880, when Garfield was
elected over Hancock. In this year
1854 the Republican vote was suppress,
cd in many parts of the south, so that
calculating the strength of Presiden
tial candidates on the popular vote Of
all tie states collectively Is an unreason
able method.

Newspaper readers were promised a
political rest after the election, but
that promise cannot be verified while
the result is in doubt. The current of
thought running in the public mind
cannot be turned in other directions
only for moment, and then returns to
the all-absorbing question who is
elected? The Republicans will go on
sitting the returns, if it takes until
Christmas, to reach the exact figures

To the Hon. the Common Council of the
City of Ke1oShd:
I respectfully report that when came
to settle with the parties holding Judge
ments against the city the question was
raised whether the readiustment bonds
we offered in exchange to take up the
old debt were in violation of the five per
cent amendment to the state constitu-
ton, and in order to save any question
of the sort the holders have required
from the city as a condition for the dis
charge of their said judgements stipula-
tons that in case the interest and princi-
pal, or either, of thenew bonds shall not
be promptly paid that in such event the
satisfaction of the judgements should be
vacated and the judgements might be en-
forced to the extent of the amount Of
the readjustmeut bonds. This require
ment was insisted upon by the holders
and it seemed to be necessary to secure
the settlements, and, as the city certain
ly means to pay the principal and inter
est as it natures, l saw no objection Il
making such stipulations, and / accord
Iingly made three stipulations, of which
annex copies, and I respectfully re
quest the Council to confirm my acts il
that behalf.

Aid. Balm, the following resolution wa
adopted:

which he has compromised, and upoi
such compromise issued readiustmen
bonds of the city, to the effect that il
case the city should fail to pay the in
terest and principal of the readiustmen
bonds the satisfaction of such Judgment
should be vacated and the judgments b,
enforced to the extent of the readiust
Iment bonds exchanged, with interest ant
costs, as reported by the Mayor, be anc
the same is hereby confirmed.

The Status OF Voters.

The Philadelphia Record is entirely
right when 1t says the assessment OF
citizens for voting purposes five months
before they can exercise the voting
privilege is one Of the absurdities Of our
Pennsylvania law. 'There is no reason
why the voting list should be made out
so far in advance of necessity. Under
the constitution any citizen who has re
sided in an election district two months
before an election has right to vote. II
he moves into the district three months
before election his name is not on the
assessment list, and he may be put to
considerable trouble before he can obtain
his right. An assessment at later
period than Is now provided for would
reach his case" The Record might
reasonably go further in its recommen
dation of an improved registry law,
and urge that the right of
voters to their suffrage should be-
scrutinized by proper legal process and
finally determined at fixed time, say
ten days before the election. On the
day OF the voting and by partisan
board OF election officers are almost the
worst time and place Of determining the
rights of voters. 1t IS too otter
done unfairly and under excitement
and the remedies FOR the private and
public wrongs done by the wrongful ex
cluslou or acceptance of votes are trou
blesOme and expensive.
The proper method would be for the
board OF election officers or some other
board at some time after the last day for
paying taxes, when every voters
status IS fixed, to prepare and post
a complete list of all qualified voters,
subject to appeal to the court and
revision by 1t, 30 that in good time before
the election polls open there might he
publicly posted and in the hands of those
conducting the election full list OF all
the qualified voters in the district all
on It should vote without question, and
none others. There would be no hard
ship in this; every legal voter would have
more facility to prove his rights than he
has now on election day, and much bitter
ness and recrimination that prevail now
AZ the polls would be prevented. Politi
clans would have less trouble and the
average voter would be subject to no AN
noyance nor danger of unlawful depri =
walton of his rights.
