There is an amusing diversity of opinion
as to the merits of Gov. Cleveland s
letter of acceptance The New York Tri-
hume devotes only "A brief editorial para
graph to its consideration and pronounces
it commonplace in the extreme" and IA
small letter by Il very small man" The
Times makes it the subject of its leading
editorial, calls it "strong letter.
and says that it justities the popu-
lar confidence in Coy. Cleveand's princi-
pies, character and good sense. The Boston
journal says that the letter is weak,
flabby, vague and commonplace. 1T is
the weakest letter of acceptance that Il
Presidential candidate has ever written
when he has attempted to write anything.
1t cannot fail to impress the public that
the writer is a very ordinary man." The
New York HGrdld regards the letter as
typical for its clear good sense and its
comprehensive yet concise statement OF
the leading points in our political condi
ton" The New York star doesn't re.
gard Mr. Cleveland's effort as any great
shakes, and winds up with the conclusion
that ION the score of brevity, but not OF
lucidity or comprehensiveness the letter is
to be commended" The Springfield Re
publicdn thoughtfully rises to observe
that the letter is that of an
"honest, indefatigable and plodding
man" The Boston Hcrdld goe,
into mild spasm of admiration and calls
the letter true reflection of the polit
cal sentiments of an honest man, given in
plain language, which the simplest cal
understand" The Boston Post is speech
less through admiration. The Globe goes
into ecstacies. The Worcester Spy calls
the letter harmless little epistle."
Nobody claims, it will be noticed, that
the letter is great State paper But it il
concise, sincere, apparently, and as bolt
as there was any reason to expect
State Senator Voorhees, has consented t,
conduct the defence of the Indianapoli,
Sentinel in the Blaine libel suit.

Franklin County.

AdviceS from Franklin county indicate
that the Republican bolt in that county, is
not alone aimed at Mr.. Noble for Senator,
but is in fact an attempt to defeat the en-
tire Republican county ticket. 1t is
charged that the ticket as a whole, was
nominated by St Adams influence; and
the feeling against st. Adams in the
county, among depositors in the broken
Trust company, sufferers by the bank and
other failures and others having personal
or business grievances, is so strong that it
has been comparatively easy to rally a
very serious opposition to the regular
ticket The Democrats took advantage of
the situation, by putting two or three Re
publicans on their ticket and are expect
ing plenty Of help from dissatisfied Repub-
licans, at the polls. Mr.. Noble is person
ally respected and popular, and the oppo-
sition to him is largely opposition to the
Central Vermont railroad of which he
has been an attorney. That he has done
his duty by his clients, in square and
manly way, of course affords no good rea-
son for opposing him but people are often
/ guided more by prejudice than reason in
such cases. At present things are mixed
in Franklin county, and the only certain
thing is that large vote will be polled
and a big majority ensured for the State
| ticket, against which there is no bolt OF
kicking, in the county.

Thc Canvass in Maine.

Maine votes for Governor and State Off
GERS week later than Vermont, and
grea deal of interest is felt in the result.
Like Vermont, Maine cast its fortunes
with the Republican party at the birth of
the organization The party increased in
strength until 1866, when Gen. Chamber
lain, the Republican candidate for Gov
ernOr, was elected by a majority of FL
6S1-a majority unequalled before or since.
In 1876 the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor had IA $50 majority ; in 1877, only
II 81, and in 1873 he received a total vote
of only IS, $40, against 27,S72 for Garcelon,
Democrat, and Al ,404 for Smith, Greenback-
era total of 50 ,276-and Garcelon was elect
ed by the legislature under circumstances
well remembered by all who take an in
terest in politics In 1878 the Republican
candidate for governor was elected by 6S,-
166 votes to 81 Cos for GarcelOn and A. $50
for Smith, and, after defeating an attempt
ed count-out of the victors by the opposi-
ton administration, a Republican again
sat in the governors chair. But in 1880
the Democrats and Greenbackers pooled
their issues, and the vote stood 3,7S6 for
Plasted, an eXRepublican Greenbacker,
to 1881 for the Republican candidate.
The scattering votes deprived Plaisted of
majority, but as the constitution had
now been changed so that plurality
would elect, he became Governor. The
biennial system having been introduced,
the next election was in 1882 when Robbie,
the Republican candidate, was elected by
2,124 votes to 63, s52 for Plasted-a Republi-
can plurality of SS12, This year Gov. Robe
is running for reelection and the Demo
cratic candidate is young man unknown
to fame called Redman. A Repub-
lican success is assured-cvcry one
admits that, even the Democratic
candidate-and the only question is
us to the size of the majority. From
the present outlook, the answer to the
question will he satisfactory one. The
Republicans have entered upon the cam
paign with great spirit, great enthusiasm
pervades the Republican masses, and the
party is united and harmonious. We look
for Il rousing Republican majority in
| Maine, next month.

Corporal ion Taxation in Other State

While the law taxing corporations has
worked so well in Vermont, similar legis-
lation in other States is bringing about
equal satisfactory results. In New Jersey,
the legislature last winter passed law
taxing corporations other than railroads
(Which were already taxed and the first
payment under it has inst been made.
The State has about two thousand corpo-
rations taxed under the act and the annual
income from this source is Sl65, 000-the
tax being very much lower than in Yer
mont This sum, with the amount derived
from the taxation of the railroads. not
only pays all the State expenses but
leaves handsome surplus in the treas
ury No direct tax of course is now levied
on the people for State purposes
In New York, the taxation of corpora
tions was begun three years ago. At
present the tax is one-half of one per cent
of the gross earnings and the State re
ceived last year the very handsome sum
of two million dollars. This year the cor
porations report very heavy falling off in
their earnings and the States receipts will
be correspondingly diminished. Still as
long as the gross earnings of "A single cor
poration-the New York Central railroad
amount to twenty million dollars, the
State is moderately sure of large income.

The eXalting of Gov. Cleveland as an
ideal reformer, has had the natural cOnse
quence of causing a pretty thorough over
hauling of his past record As Governor.
it has been shown that he was as the New
York Times called him, about as cheap a
specimen of Il reformer as could be found
anywhere. The investigation is now be
ing pushed into his previous career. as
sheriff of Erie county, New York \ cor
respondent of the New York T,thiuc has
been looking over the books of the office
and finds plenty of evidence of official eX-
travagancc, and oycrcharging of fees. He
also found, as as he says the suspicious
circumstance that the vouchers upon
which Mr.. Cleveland drew large sums of
| money from the county treasury during
the last portion of his official term had
disappeared from the archives The bills
for the first part of his term however,
were found intact, and they show that Mr.
| Cleveland increased his charges 81, 266 30
over the amount allowed his Democratic
predecessor. OF this amount at least 81
47l.50 was without legal warrant and the
supervisors refused to pay it. Mr.. Cleve-
land appears to have been a pretty eX-
pensive sheriff to Erie county; and to
have made his official position contribute
to his personal advantage about as I'M
blushingly as his friends Hubert o.
Thompson and Sheriff Davidson have
done.
Lieutenant Greedy thinks that the North
Pole, if it ever can be reached (Which can
only be under most favorable conditions),
will be only by way of Franz Josef Land.
He says he is ''well-nigh certain that
there is IA Polar Sea, and thinks it is
proved by the ice-drift in the highest lati-
tude reached.

There seems to be some opposition to
prohibition in some parts of Iowa In
Iowa City, Wednesday night, two hun
bred men attacked w II. Bailey lawyer
who was prosecuting two brewers for al
legged violation of the prohibition laws.
They stripped off his clothing and tarred
him, and would, doubtless have lynched
him but for the resolute action of adeputy
sheriff. Many of them were drunk. They
hunted in vain for Mr., STAFFORD lead
ing witness against the brewers, and if he
had been caught at that moment he would
have been hanged. At a later hour they
did meet him and his brother and assault
them, but the two men escaped. The riot
was instigated by a half-dozen of the rough
element in Iowa City.

Lieut., Greely's denial of the New York
TfmeS'S charge of cannibalism. brought
against him and his men, bears the marks
of truth, and doubtless is the truth.
Starving men in similar cases have been
known to sustain life by eating human
flesh; and ii would not be surprising if
in party of furnishing men as large as
Greelys, some, weakened in mind as well
as body by their suflerings, should have
stealthily resorted to this horrible
alternative from death But Lieut..
Greedy and Commander Schley have had
quite as good an opportunity to obtain
evidence of the fact as the Times and
when they say they know of no founda-
ton for the charge, it is enough. If it
was true, the Times might well have
waited and let the truth be told, in its
proper connection and light, by the official
reports, This would have been simple
justice to the heroic Greedy and his
comrades. AS it is, the Times's yarn is
is as indefensible a case of sensational
production, as has occurred in long
time.

The New York Tribunc, which has been
making study of the census statistics
and political almanaCs, estimates that the
probable vote for the Presidency in No
vember next will be very close on ten and
a half millions. and may exceed that num-
Der The vote in 1850. using round figures,
was 1920, 600 in "A total population of 40, -
81 900, and in male population of the
voting age reported at roundly l2,51l0 600
for the thirty-eight States, The popula-
ton of the States will be, in November
next, above $4,000, 900, in the eight Terri
tories and the District of Columbia very
nearly million, making for the whole
country grand total of fully 81 ,000.O0
These latter figures are arrived at by cal
culating the natural increase of our popu-
lation through the excess of births over
deaths at two per cent year. To this
must be added the immigration. Now if
population of 49, 37i 900 in the States in
cludes voting population of 1851 900, a
population of 56,000,0O0 contains a voting
population of nearly 14,2s0,0O0, or that
number of men possessing the legal age
for voting. When it is remembered that
only half Il century ago 100000 popular
votes elected IA President of the United
States, these figures are almost enough to
take ones breath away.
