1t Mr.. Blaine and his followers
nccrel in convincing . majority 81
the American people-as he did
those OF Ohio-that the tariff plank
in the Democratic platform is only
"a bug strsldle"-a meaningless
no,hing-and that the real Demo
cratic policy in relation to the tariff
is that championed by Messrs. Nor
rison, Carlisle and Hurd at the last
session Of Congress, then we advise
our friends who are looking forward
to fat places under a Democratic
administration 10 be prepared for

they do not succeed in this, Cleve-
land will be elected and triumph
an'ly inaugurated, and the Demo.
cratic millennium will begin prompt

The Main Issue.

Whatever may have been said
during The present canvass about
govern mental reform, the personal
and official character of the leading
candidates, the solid South, the
fraud of '76, bloody shirt, ETC.,
there can be no eyadiug the fact
that the real issue on which the re
suit of the election hangs is the tar
if, and if the Democracy is beaten
it will be because they did not rec
ognize this plain truth at the begin
ming, meet the question fairl Y and
squarely and subordinate every thing
else to it. If the elections in Ohio
and West Virginia demonstrated
anything it was this. IL the for
mer State the Democracy, with the
prestige of two former victories,
talked Muliyan letters, official cor
ruptinn, revenue reform, and finally
and most discreditably TO them,
pandeled to and courted the favor
of the saloon element for all it was
worth, Mr.. Hendricks himself going
so far in his appeals for the whisky
sellers vote, as to proclaim against
Prohibition and grossly mi>repre
sent its aims. Not so with the Re
pubIicans. Mr.. Blaine was not di-
verted by any of these things. He
knew nothing but protective tariff,
and b talked this first, last and all
the time, assuming that the real
Democratic i,lea of tariff was that
set forth in the Morrison bill. Our
readers know the result. In West
Virginia, the tariff was also made
The only issue by Blaine, Logan and
other Republican speakers, and th'
result was a decided Republican
gain, despite the TACT That this State
occupies position in the sisterhooh
OF what is popularity known az the
Solkt South.
Since the elections in the October
s ates, Blaine has canvassed Indi
ana, parts of Minnesota anil Wis
consin, and is now in New York:
and in all Of these, with the excel,-
tion OF an occasional wave OF the
bloody SHIRT aud appeals to section
al prejudice, the burden of his song
has been protection To American
industries. The tariff Is THE ques-
tion, and compared with it the per
sonal merits or dement's OF the OPP

One who signs himself "Fablus"

and feeble article condemning

ly Rev. j. II. Gambrell, of Brook

tempt which all anonymous attacks
deserve.--Uiads County Comet.
By his unjust and undfounded
attacks on Prohibition and those
who, like the distinguished gentle
man mentioned, have exercised
their right to advocate and defend
its principles, "Fabius' has got

predict that when he gets back into

men like Gen j, Z, George, or Capt.

presented. Both the latter gentle
men, as head of the Mississippi

New York the Battle Ground.

A correspondent inquiries of the
Times whether it is within the range
of probability that either Cleveland
or Blaine can be elected President
without the vote of New York. We
answer that is quite possible, but
not reasonably probable that the
successful candidate will be elected
without New York. 1t is much
more probable that New York will
he the vantage ground and that the
Electoral vote o: the Empire State
will decide the issue between Cleve-
land and Blaine.
Assuming that Ohio and West
Virginia will vote their national
party predictions in October that
is, Ohio Republican and West Vir-
ginia ID, mocratlc-the Presidential
battle will undoubtedly center in
New York and the candidate who
carries that State will be about GER
tain of an election. There are 1873
Electoral votes in the Southern and
border States reasonably sure for
Cleveland, and New York with SO
and Indiana with Is Electoral votes
added to them would give him 204
or three more than majority of
the Electoral College. Cleveland
could lose Indiana and be elected
with New York, SO; California, 8:
and New jersey, 8; or, he could be
elected with New York, with New
Jersey 8, Connecticut 6; or by Cali
tornia 8, and New Jersey 9, added
to New York, or by adding New
Jersey 8, Nevada 3, and Connect.
cut 6, to New York, but even with
the 1873 Southern and border votes,
Cleveland would have to carry Cali
fornia, Nevada, Indiana, New Jer
sew, Connecticut and Wisconsin to
be elected with New York against
him, and have only four votes to
spare.
Blaine's election is possible with
out New York, but it would be-
most improbable with New York
against him. Only by material
break in the South could Blaine
have a chance of election without
the Empire State. If he carried
every Northern State except New
York, he would receive only PIP
electoral votes, or IL more than a
majority, and if he carried all but
New York and New Jersey, he
would have 2O3, or 2 majority. But
it must be remembered that New
York and Connecticut scarcely vote
differently in Presidential, contests
snd with New York Democratic, In
diana, Connecticut and New Jersey
would be next to certain To vote the
same way, so that after all calcula-
lions are exhausted, the decision of
the National battle goes back tn
New York with her 36 Electoral
votes.
1t is possible that either Cleve-
land or Blaine may be elected by SO
large an electoral majority that
New York could he spared, but it is
not probable; and even in that
event, it would lie the drift Of New
York that largely settled the other
drbatable States. A general sweep
for either side in the October Stat, 8
wocld have resolved all doubtful
States in favor of The winning par
", and New York would simply GO
with the crowd; but AS it is there
shall be battle the most desperate
of history, and the party that car
ries New York will elect the next
President. - Philddelphid Times,

A Aind of Victory We DO Not
Like.


The ma'y VIII" expected the cleo
lions in Ohio and West Virginia on
the l4th inst. to settle in advance
the Prrsid, ntisl contest were doom.
cd to disrpI ointment and continued
uncertainty. From the fact that
the first named State went Rcpubli-
can by plurality of from 1900 to
Ia, ZOO, and the latter Democratic
by majority Of from 5000 to 5000
both parties are thereby eucour-
aged to continue with unfagging
zeal and high hopes until the final
result is reached next Tuesday.
Many Of our Democratic cotem-
poraries have way of insisting
that because the Republicans did
not carry Ohio bv 10000 majority,
that their victor" amounts to a vir-
tual defeat; but much as we would
like to do so, we confess that We d.
not possess the happy faculty Of
seeing it in this light. The Repub-
licans could stand a defeat like
this next Tuesday in every State in
the Union, and still elect their can
didate by a large majority. Last
year the Democracy of OHIO elected
their Governor by q plurality of
1900, yet they were not only pre-
vented from gaining a like victory
this year, but the plurality was re-
versed by their opponents, making
a total Republican gain within one
year of nearly 10000 in contest in
which both parties cast the largest
vote ever before pulled in the State.
Therefore, with due respect for
The opinions OF our over-sanguine
contemporaries, we insist that if ali
of the Democratic victories are like
this one, our party will be ruined
world without end.
Even in West Virginia where the
Republicans were beaten, they made
Iarre gains over late years, so on the
whole, if the Democracy has won 4
victory in both of the October
States, it is not unmixed with some
very objeclional features to say the
least.
In view Of the foregoing, our opin
ion is it would be well for Demo
Gratis not to be too sanguine of vic
tory next Tuesday; but ncverthe
] less all should work to win if sue
cess he within the range Of possibil
4 ity. Mississippi must maintain heI
: position in the Democratic column
whether other States do their duty
r or not. 1t is especially importan
that VIC return our present Congress
man, and This can he done whethe
Cleveland and Hendricks are elect
ell or not Let every Democrat see
to it that Lincoln rolls up a 500 ma
jority for Bark sdale, and then if thu
Presidential ticket is successful, 81
much the better; but this much WI
must make sure

In this age Of hustle and hurry, an ago
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead
in the furtherance Of noble works, and in
the advancement Of the sciences and arts.
In these they deserve to take high rank,
and through the united works of millions,
the American continent is fist being
transformed from its untamed state and
being placed on an equality with the older
continents beyond the ocean. The Amer
lean people arc fast, under these influences,
developing into nervous, energetic race,
remarkable for its vim and business quail

course Of years these very elements may
combine to the ruination of the physical
character of the people, and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility is now much
more common than formerly, and seems
to be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
advertised for this widespread complaint,
but none Of these have been SO successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by DR.. S. B. Hart

DETROIT, June 27,-W H. Crawford manager
for J. 1. Case, owner of Jay-Eye-See, is in the
city, attending the races. Upon being ques-
toned relative to the jay ye-See challenge, and
the highly moral ground taken by Mr.. Wander
bilt in relation thereto, assuming that
horse, Maud S., Mr.. Crawford said;
II don't see why Vanderbilt accepted the chal-
lenge as being addressed to him, for neither
Maud S. nor Cingstone, or their owners names,
were mentioned. Mr. Case has not seen his
horses for two months, and knew nothing of
the challenge, which was merely an open letter
accompanied by $1,000 forfeit, as an earnest
that Jay Eye-See is ready to tot any horse, as
stated 1t is quite amusing, in view of the fact
that Vanderbilt says he is surprised at the i'm
pudence which prompted us to send ourchallenge
and that he asserts he never trots his
horses for money. Maud S. has,
since she has been the property of Vanderbilt
trotted at least dozen times against the best
horses and on the best tracks in the country
and in each instance for money, and her
earnings have been considerable for
her owner and manager In addition, it may
be stated that on July 4, 1881, Maud s., then
owned by Vanderbilt, trotted for the gate money
over the Detroit Driving Clubs present track"
