Four Negroes Who Voted Fourteen
Times for Sfidham,

At late hour last Saturday night a
haokmsn entered a down town restaurant
and wearily asked for plate of raw
oysters. He was worn out, he said, and
disgusted, for he had Just finished an
unpleasant job, which was, as he
put it, "driving four niGgers all around
town, and it didn't suit him, net by q
darned sight"
After refreshing himself with dozen
fine raws the disgusted hackman further
relieved his mind. He said hack had
been hired from his emplo, ers for the
afternoon and evening, which he was
assigned to drive. The hack WAS placed
in charge Of four negroes, who, go he
alleges, directed him to drive to all the
voting places OF the city, at each
one Of which they stopped and all
four voted for Stidham for sheriff. There
were IA polling places open on Saturday,
and as these negroes had right to vote
at but one place, each one voted illegally
13 times, making q total of 52 illegal
votes cast for Stidham by this gang alona.
These votes, coupled with the 81
illegal votes which John W. Kautf-
man, one of the election clerks
in New Csstle-who refused to sign
the returns-alleges were returned there
for Stidham, entirely wipes out his S9
majority over Hukill and gives the latter
lead Of AZ votes, without looking further
for other crooked transactions. Hukill's
friends are still indignant at the manner
in which the nomination WAS conducted,
and it is not unlikely that a contest be-
fore the county executive committee will
yet be the result.

The Fastest steamer sold.

New YoRK, May 2l.-The Cunard
Steamship Company has purchased the
Guirn line steamer Oregon. Mr.. Vernon
IL. Brown, agent of the Cunard company,
was questioned this morning in regard to
now the ssls had heen effected. He
eut wored that he could not say. He only
knew tbst the sale of the Oregon to his
line WAS an accomplished tact, and that
she would maks her first trip from
Liverpool on ths Cuuard line on June
7Ih, sailing from here, on her return
voyage, June 25rh. She would be com
msndsd by Captain McMickan, now OF
the Gal,ia. He also stated that the
Cunard comnsny WAS building two new
steamers at Elder & Co 's yards, Glasgow,
which would bs equal in eizs and speed
to the Oregon. Their namea will b, the
Umbria and the Etruria. Both will be
launched before the end of the present
year, so as to take their places in the line
early in the spring.

No Case Against DR.. Mcbride.

DR.. William Mcbride, formerly of this
city, was acquitted In Judge Elcock's
court of the quarter sessions, Philadel-
phia, yesterday week, of six charges
of attempting to fix the jury III the
Malone murder case. He told three Of
the jurors in the case that homicide
case was about to come mp, but did not
say what case it was. He represented
that he WAS court detective, aud that
the jury list having become mixed he WAS
directed to have 1t set right.
He inquired as to the religious and politi-
cal convictions Of the jurors, and in one
or. two CASES asked for views upon the
temperance question. He had, it was
shown, been employed by firm of de-
teotives who had been retained by the
defense to prepare evidence and ascertain
the character OF jurors. The court
charged that case of embracery had not
been made out. The bills we're sub
mi,ted and verdict OF not guilty taken.

The Washington Post Of Monday
prints number OF interviews with lead
ing Democrats in the House of Represen-
tatives in support Of its demand that q
clear aud exploit statement of principles,
absolutely committing the Democratic
party to the issue of revenue reform In
the Presidential oanvass, shall he made
by the Chicago convention Of July.
Speaker Carlisle said : "Ia my opinion,
it will be the duty OF the Democratic
national convention when it meets at
Chicago to make clear and unequivooal
declaration In favor Of a tariff reform.
Mr.. Hurd (0hio) 81 insist that the
convention shall not only give voice to
the principles aimed at in the Morrison
bill, put that it shall formally and
emph atically endorse the course pursued
by the supporters OF that bill. l want it
to be clearly defined whether it is
possible FIR a man to be both Democrat
and protectionist. My opinion is that
the declaration of the convention will be-
80 clear and bold that there will be
nothing left for Democrat to do but
indorse 1t or get out Of the party"
"All the Democrstio members OF the
Ilipois delegation in the House," said
Mr.. Morrison, "ars with me in desiring to
reduce tariff taxes. We are all in favor
Of the central idea of the old tariff plank
revenue tariff. We care very little what
words are employed to express the idea,
so that 1t is stated clearly"
Mr.. Cox said "There has never been
any doubt as to my views on the subject
of protection. Recent events have no,
toned down my opinion. Not one cent
| for tribute ia my maxim"
"The good old Democratic doctrine of q
tariff for revenue is what We expect from
Chicago" said General Slocum, "New
| York stsnds where she has hitherto stood
on this question.
"The national oonveptiop,n said Mr.
Hewitt, twill give US ringing revenue

Democratic conven ion If 1t did not"
| Mr.. Blackburn Of Kentucky, said
'The circumstances under which the
national convention will assemble will
| furnish much stronger reasons than ex
isted in 1876 or in 1880 for clear ring
| ing enupoiation of the Democratic doc
trine that 1t is neither lawful, honest mol
expedient to impose any tax for any othei
turpose than to raise such revenues ST
are required for the purpoae of govern
mept honestly and economically ad
ministered. That the platform will be IL
accordance with the views Of thoae who
stood by the Morrison bill, that it will b'
as emphatic a declaration as has evei
been put forth by any similar body
admits Of no doubt. We look to Chicsg'
Tor vindication of the etfUrt we hav,
made here in the House to begin tn,
work Of revenue reform by reducing Wal
tariff taxes"
The number of Democratic representa-
tives interviewed and quoted by the R'
exceeds eighty, and the opinions Of thos
above-nsmsd as 10 declaration Of tsril
reform principles at Chiosgo, are fairl
representative of all.

what Congress should Attend To.

philadelphia Times.
l. The passage of the bill of Senator
McPherson, or one nearly like it, to as
sure confidence and stability in our ex
csptionally good banking system. There
should be prompt aud liberal action on
this subject, and If there shall not he
action during the present session, the
party that shall be responsible for the
failure, must be fearfully on the defen-
sive before the people.
2. The trade dollars should be redeemed
Common honesty demands 1t. No matter
who holds them, the faith of the pation
is pledged for their redemption. The
House passed proper bill in the main,
but struck out the clause forbidding the
increase of the Bland dollars by the re-
tirement OF the trade dollars. The Senate
should restore the clause stricken out by
the House and promptly pass the bill
thus amended.
8. Between tariff-tinkers and general
business depression, bankruptcies have
multiplied, and they are likely to con
tinue to multiply for some months te
come. A uniform bankrupt law is indis-
penssble to protect honest creditors
against the special laws of the states and
territories, which often practically forbid
the collection of the claims Of distan
creditors.

1t was stated last night that there is
