THE base ingratitude of the Democrats, and
their disposition to kick their assistants out of

.thern States in 1880 and 1884:

We have starred the States in which Mr..
Blaine spoke, and it can be seen at q glance
whether Che lost heavily in every State in
which he spoke" except in Maine and Penn
sylvania As matter of fact, he did not poll
as large vote in Maine as Garfield did. He
''lost" in the State of Connecticut l, 17S, and
in the State of Massachusetts, Is, 491. In Hi
nois he gained 20, 457 votes; in Indiana 6, 283
votes; in Michigan 7, 32S votes; in New Jersey
$3.50 votes; in New York 6,561 votes; in Ohio
25,034 votes; in Pennsylvania 20, 504, and in
Michigan 16, 757 votes grand total in the
States in which he spoke of lis, 0O4 votes
Take the entire country, by the statistics pub
lished in the Democratic press, General Gar
field received 445O,921 votes, while Mr..
Blaine received 4, S3G, 597 votes, and this, de-
spite the increase of the Prohibition vote from
10000 to 13O,61S, nearly all of
which, of course, came from the Republican
party. The apparently larger vote of the
Democratic party is accounted for from the
fact that in several States there was fusion
with the Greenbackers as in Iowa, Nebraska
and in Michigan. To say nothing of the 'sup-
pressed vote" in the Southern States, certainly
amounting to several hundred thousand, and
counting in the enormous vote finally
reported from Texas, Mr.. Cleveland has
practically, by Democratic figures as mar
row plurality of the popular vote of the
entire country as he has in the State of New
York, where less than l, 100 gives him the en-
tire thirty electoral votes Had "the sup
pressed vote been cast, and counted as cast,
Mr.. Blaine would have at least 400, 900 of
popular plurality, and would yesterday have
received 24 electoral votes to 1T 70, Mr..
Cleveland, giving the latter the vote of New
York Now that Cleveland and Hendricks
are elected, and there is no controversy over
the matter. the Independent press at least,
can afford to ''tell the truth" and not falsify
the record so outrageously and recklessly as
the Boston Herald does.

THE Chicago Tribune says of the Presidents
messages:

message:
1.-TWO of his recommendations are of doubt
full character. The first is in the matter of
the Spanish reciprocity treaty for Cuba and
Porto Rico. We are expected to take off
2 "a to IA cents per pound on raw sugars,
now yielding our government forty millions
of dollars revenue, and the Cubans in return
give us free markets for certain miscellaneous
stuff of no special value, while they retain
S. barrel tax ON our -four. If this is to be
done, their SO tax on our -four should come
off, and then it would be bad bargain.
There is no provision in the treaty which for
bids Spain levying an export tax of
cents pound on this very sugar, as Brazil has
cents per pound. We are paying Brazil
eight or nine millions of revenue every
year, and if the Cuban treaty is con
cluded as it now stands we shall pay Spain
forty millions if she replaces our import with
an export tax. The second recommendation
is the extension of the Sandwich Island treaty
seven years longer. 1t should not be extended
seven minutes. The present treaty only
works for the benefit of Claus Spreckels, the
refner, and syndicate of sugar planters who
have bought up sugar land in the islands and,
in conjunction with the Central Pacific rail
road, have seized the monopoly of Hawaiian
sugar, which they sell to the people of the
Pacific coast at the same price per pound as is
paid by the people of Illinois, or States east of
it. for Cuba sugar, which pays tax of three
cents pound, thus, in effect, gobbling the
tax and beating the government out of about
two millions Of revenue per annum The
Sandwich Islands, in the meantime, purchase
the bulk of their goods from Germany and
England We want no more reciprocity
treaties of that description"

"Hon Joseph E. McDonald's friends have

THE mugwumps have argued, and now in
sist in defense of their treachery, that the
South is as gentle as cooling dove, thoroughly
tame, and the best friend the colored man
ever had. Some people do not think so, but
hold that the negro is practically disfran
chised throughout the South, and
that it has been accomplished by
system Of terror inspired by or
ganized whipping parties and bands of muir
derers. The South is oomplacent and smiling
now, and very gracious in most of its utter
ances, as why should it not bef The lash and
the revolver have finally got in their work, and
the presidency is won. We trust, however,
that the very holy New York Post and the
Times, and the Springfield Republican, will
not insist that the South loves the negro, and
is willing, nay, anxious to extend to him the
unobstructed right to vote and have his vote
counted as cast. Suoh little utterances as
the following. from the Birmingham (Ala.)
Age, paper that owes its existence and
prosperity to the policy adopted by the Re
publican party, and fought first and last by
the Democratic party. The Age says:
'"The negro is not fit, as yet, for self-govern-
ment, and it is not in the nature of things to
suppose that any community in the South
will willingly surrender its government into
his hands. The South would rather than do
this, gladly surrender the additional repre-
sentation it has acquired through the entran-
chisement of the negro"
If the negro is not fit for sslf-government
he certainly is not fit to take part in govern
ment of white people. So the South argues
and accordingly sets about seeing that he does
not vote, or if he must vote for appearance
which the South is familiar.

THE managers of the vote in Texas knew a
trick worth two of that by which the vote is
suppressed. They have simply kept the re-
turns back, and now the official report shows
an increase of 40, 900 in the "white' Demo
cratic vote. This new scheme we commend
to the Democratic bulldozers and ballot box
suffers 1t is quite as effective as the old one
of suppression" and looks better on paper.

effect the "prosnerity" of the State.

MR.. BLAGNB's POPULAR VOTE.

1.-THE Tribune won't give it up Those
who doubt the wisdom of Mr.. Blaine's nomi-
nation, or the effectiveness of his leadership
may proftably study the election returns If
they do, they will find that his net loss from
Garfelds pluralities was over 10000, and
sylvania, he lost heavily in every State in
which he spoke"
Why there should be so glaring falsehood
misstatement of the facts by paper of the
character and standingof the Boston Herald,
we cannot imagine. To settle forever the
question whether Mr. Blaine fell below the
vote given for General Garfield, we give a
comparison of the votes cast in twenty of the
Northern States in 1880 and 1884:

PRESIDENT ARTHUR, like the Democratic
papers of the country, is greatly impressed
by the goodtempered way in which the de-
feated party has submitted to the result of the
late election, and ascribes it to the American
citizens Glove of order and loyalty to law"
But President Arthur and the Democratic pa
pers have forgotten, or make no mention of
the fact, that when the party which is now
successful was itself defeated in 1860, after
years of power, it Immediately rebelled and
tried to destroy the Union. In those days it
was the American citizen of Republican afilia-
lions alone who loved law and order. Whether
the Democrats yet deserve to be called law
abiding, remains to be tested.
