The shrinkage of the Northern Republlo
IN Vote Elected Cleveland
The fact that the political changes
which resulted in the election Of Mr..
Cleveland occurred in the North and
not in the South seems to have been
lost sight Of in the uproar occasioncd
BY the new sectional crusade. Mr..
Blaine lost the Presidency not BY the
suppression OF the Republican vote in
the South, but by its shrinkage in tho
North. The Republicans gained large
ly in nearly all Of the Southern States
but they did not hold their own in the
Northern States Cleveland received
463. 900 more votes in 1854 than Han
cock received in 1850. and Mr.. Blaine
received 1872. 900 more votes than were
cast for Garfield. N the Blaine excess
nearly 100000 were in the Southern
States. whereas Of the Cleveland excess
all but about 100000 votes were in tho
Northern States. In spite Of the in
crease Of population in four years
Blaine received fewer votes in 1884 in
Maine. Connecticut Massachusetts.
New Hampshire and Vermont than
Garfield did in 1880. while in the great
States Of New York. New Jersey.
Michigan and Indiana Mr. Blaine did
not receive altogether more than 10000
more votes than Garfield had four years
before. though the Democratic vote was
largely increased.
These facts explain why Mr. Blaine
was not elected. The suppression"
Of the vote which might have elected
him was purely voluntary. 49, Chicago

It was not to be expected that any

il found to be . particularly pleasing
plum and accept the deprivation with
out struggle. Exercising the discre-
ton invested in him by Congress. the
Postr declined to place .

sound, and. in the face Of pressure. he
had the courage to adhere to them 1t
was in the power Of the company
m aliciously to cause some disarrange-
ment Of the foreign mail service involv-
ing delay and to provoke the complaint
of patrons Of certain Of foreign mails.
and the company did not hesitate to
avail itself to the utmost of what tenn
p0rary disgruntlement existed; neither
did it lack organs to fan its small tenn
pest and to endeafor to make capital
for an appeal TO Congress next winter.
But the Postmaster-G General. whose ac-
ton was not the result OF caprice. but
proceeded from disinterested delibera-
ton. is not moved by such clamor AZ
the corporation has been able to incite.
The Chinese gong style Of warfare has
no terrors for him He has made no
attempt to soothe the company, but is

Of the Pacific Mail Company with New

shows that only three States of the
Union contain more negroes than white

knows that the charge Of wholesale
