az 1t proves that the Democrats cannot

part of them, and a considerable part are
opposed to their candidate this year. Inc
leaders do not know which OF their suooiol-
mates are going for Mr.. Blame. In trying 10
carry out any scheme of fraud, they are certain
to trust the wrong men, as they did Ill ohio'
and SO their schemes are sure to come to the
knowledge of Republicans who easily thwart
them.
az II proves that the tariff question, even
at the West. has a tremendous influence, but
# has far greater influence at the East, because
LARGER nronortion of voters are dependent upon
nrotcc,ed industry for their livelihood In the
Eastern States therefore, greater kepuDllcan
gains than i'm the Western are to be expected.
o. 1t provesthat the Dependents are lnSig-
ni6cant in number. In Ohio Mr.. Schurz dellD-
crately stated they numbered as many as IN any
Western State, but we now see thatin ONO they
were not enough to prevent an increase OF the
Republican vote in the very counties where
they were thought to be most numerous
The Republicans lost only i'll the Democratic
counties where fraud was possible.
(G.) 1t proves that the Democrats are telling
rs little truth to the square inch as i'll any
former campaign, and their boasts need not be
regarded at all by anybody. Where they claim
great gains and certain victory, it is safe TO take
it for granted that they blunder as Democrats
ALWAYS have blundered. or are lyinga as the De-
pendents this year habitually lie.
(7.) proves that party strong enough 10
hold its own even at the West with an Eastern
candidate, and with frank advocacy OF pro
lection supposed to be unpopular there Is
strong enough to win at the East where its cam
didate is well known, and where Mr. Cleveland
is also well known, and where Republican
principles are so popular that the Democrats
do not dare to assail them.

"REMINISCENCES FOR Mr.. BEEcHEE

a.
II is well known that Mr.. Bccchel's candidate
for the Presidency in 1880 was General Grant.
In the canvass which preceded the National
Convention he was 0utspoken on this subject,
but he had no thought OF deserving the party in
the event of the nomination of General Grants
most prominent rival. That it was his intcn-
ton TO support the candidate of that conven-
ton. whoever it might be, is shown by the fol-
lowing letter written few weeks before the
convention was held:
No l2l COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, b oOKLYN. y. Y.

be nominated at Chicago, accept your invitation for

The same causes, it appears, benefit industry

though nowhere else has the protective system
been so long or so effectively applied. The re-
ports also take up the cost of living, to decide
whether the enormous benefit to labor here IN
higher wages is in any measure neutrallzcd ny

point though it does not cover all elements OF
cost, will strike every reader as exceedingly
convincing. That food is cheaper here at retail

lower here than in England or Germany. But
in these items are included about thrce-quart-

he Is one Of the oldest hands in the

was not forced one by any means,
however, nor is Mr.. Still one OF the
kind that skips out Of a community
at a slight reverse in business. On
account Of a large portion Of the
floating population leaving for the

for fortnight, and seeing that the
were decidedly favorable for

II would strike the average reader
that the two papers at Cheney held
a co-partnership in the same soft

before the election to come to the
support Of any of the commissioners,
as soon as the voice OF the sovereign
voter has decided the matter they
fly to the front to do the I-always-
loved-you act. From what we per-
sonally know Of the gentlemen elect
ed we have no fear but they will do
their duty to the people, or we are
greatly mistaken In them. They can
neither be eajoled nor brow-beaten
into folloWing the wishes OF a small
faction, and they will probably follow
their own Judgment in matters per-
taluing to the public veal. We have
a dim, far-away idea that by the end
