ANALYSIS OF THE CITY VOTE.
Cleveland Helped by the MayoraIi-
ty Contest.

" CONTEST
The Daily Netcs, during the ampaigr
just ended, and frequently before, ar
sued that contest between the Demo
cratic factions over local affairs helped
instead of injured, the National ticket
The election returns of 1888 prove it.
Congressman Mills has been quoted as
saying that the Mayoraiity contest
brought disaster to the National ticket.
How little there is to sustain this asser-
ton will be shown later on.
Some of the Mugwump newspapers at
tribute Cleveland's defeat to the fact that
he was running with such can unpopular
Democrat" as Governor Hill. The lat
ter's election is the best answer to this
ridiculous assertion. Other Mugwump
newspapers, ever ready to have a fling at
the Irish, affect to think that Cleveland's
defeat was attributed largely to tie i'm.
preston made upon the Irish American
element by the Sackville incident. The
election returns, showing falling off in
the Irish Blaine vote of 1884, prove the
absurdity of this.
The actual number of Republican
voters in this city is in round numbers
100000. There were 5000 who voted for
President only. Putting three-ffths of
that number on the Democratic column
and two-ffths on the Republican, al
though the numbers ought probably be
reversed, the total actual Republican
party vote is found to be about 102, 600.
The average vote of the County
Democracy candidates, leaving Hewitt
out, is 50, ,459. Deduciing this mum Der
from Hewitt's vote OF 7l,113 leaves
1864, representing the Republican
votes Hewitt got.
Adding Hewitt's Republican vote OF
1854 to Erhardt's 72,471, total of 49,.
125 is obtained.
Grant received many votes from Re-
publicans who thought Erhardt had no |
chance, and who preferred Grant to |
Hewitt.
Harrison's vote was 107, ,089. Deduct
from this the 100, 900 already referred to, |
with say 250O added of tie 5000 votes cast
for President only, and 95S9 are left |
This number represents the help to the |
Republicans Of the United Labor party, |
the tariff bugaboo, the Pat Ford Irish Re- |
publican vote, trading, etc.
Do not these figures prove beyond all |
question that the defeat of Cleveland
cannot be attributed to the three cor
nered Mayoralty contest?
The total vote cast for Sheriff voted for
on election day was nearly 10000 less
than that cast for Mayor. The contest
over the Mayoralty was regarded as be-
ing only second to the Presidency itself
and brought out every vote possible.
Here are the figures Of the Democratic
and Republican vote cast:

There were 5000 more votes cast for
Mayor than for Governor, yet nobody
has yet said that the Governorship was
sacrificed for the Mayoralty. There
were 5000 less votes cast for Governor
than for President, yet Hill ran 1929
ahead of Cleveland. There is just as
much sense in saying that Hill sold
Cleveland out as there is in attributing
Cleveland's defeat to the Mayoralty con-
test.
If anyone can show from the above
| figures how it would have been more
| beneficial to the National ticket to
have had united Democratic candidate
for Mayor, he will commend himself as a
political mathematician. If Hewitt had
been united on, Cleveland would have
been beaten out of sight in this State.
Take Kings county, where there was
no contest between the Democrats on
election day. 1t fell nearly 4 1000 behind
the plurality it gave Cleveland four year 8
ago, and with an increased registration,
too. A contest between the Democrats
in Kings might have resulted in a Re-
publican local victory, but if the Demo
Gratis were as loyal to the Presidential
ticket as their New York brethren Cleve-
lands plurality in Kings would have
reached at least $4,000.
The nomination OF only one Democrat
candidate for Mayor, no matter who he
is, in Presidential year, with other
united Democratic nominations all along
the line, giving an Alderman for an AS
semblyman, and SO on. does not
stimulate registration. II it had been SO
this year, Cleveland would have lost
several thousand votes. Harrison, on
Republican side, might have lost some

TRIBUTE TO JUSTICE.
Eloquent and WeIl-Timed Words of GEN

Court of the United States.

Eloquent and WeIl-Timed Words of Cen
eraI John b. Henderson in the Supreme
Court of the United States.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-General John
B. Henderson, of st. Louis, concluded q
legal argument before the Supreme Court
Of the United States one day this week
with a tribute which has occasioned not a
little favorable comment. Itwas a tribute
particularly appropriate at this time, and
is deserving OF wider circulation than the
utterances in the courtroom gave it.
General Henderson's words were as fol-
lows:
tsMay it please your honor: These evi-
dences of debt constituted a contract
in the State where they were made.
The local law recognized them as
binding between the parties. The
instruments came here with the indOrse-
ment of local judicial sanction. We
have before us the standard by which the
parties themselves measured the obliga-
tions of their contract. This Court will
not now change that standard. 1t is the
especial glory Of this tribunal that local
influences can not here turn aside the
currents Of justice. In this world moth
ing is immortal but truth. The monu-
ments we build Of brass and stone finally
molder and decay. The eternal princi-
pies of justice take new strength and lus-
ter from the lapse of time. The stone tab
lets on which the decalogue was inscribed,
no longer exist, but the Ten Command
ments still remain in perfect moral gran
deur, teaching man his social duties. The
Roman forum is well-nigh gone, but
Roman law survives in all its beauty and
in all its benefcience, and so will
live, hope and believe, the decisions of
this court. For nearly quarter of a cent
ury, in a modest way, I have argued
causes before you, and in that short period
1 have witnessed many changes in the
personnel of this court; but no change
have yet seen in the wisdom and learn
ing OF it's decisions, or in that unerring
certainty with which they point to the ad-
ministration and establishment of justice.
It is because of this that they have re-
ceived the stamp of judicial authority in
all the nations Of Christendom, and it is
because of this that they will live when
this magnificent structure, in which they
have been delivered, shall have sunk into

A SAD ENDING.

A Tickle Woman's Romance Ends by
Death From Poison SeIf-Administered-
A Social Sensation at the National Capt.
tai Recalled.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-Mrs. Degrassie
Bu1kley, daughter of Judge G. J. Hillyer:
died Wednesday night, at her fathers
residence, from the effects of poison,
taken with suicidal intent on the previous
day. She was taken very i'll on Wednes-
day morning, and physicians were hastily
summoned. Every effort was made to
save her life, but without avail. Miss
Bessie Hillyer, who was engaged to be
married to W. L. Trenholm, son OF the
Comptroller of the Currency, on February
g. was married on the Goth of last Decem-
Der to Degrassie Bulkley, IN Baltimore.
The sensation that was caused by the
elopement Of the young couple, accom-
panied to Baltimore by Mr.. Antonio
Nogueras, son of the Portuguese Minister,
is still distinctly remembered.
It was the talk Of society for week,
when a fresh impetus was given by the
filing Of bill for divorce in the name Of
Bessie Hillyer Bulkley, asking that the
marriage be declared void, alleging that
undue influence was used to effect it, and
that Mr.. Bulkley was under age at the
time. g
To this there came number Of denials.
Mr.. Nogueras stated that Miss Hillyer
seemed to be acting of her free viii, and
Rev. Mr.. Ferguson, the Baltimore clergy
man who performed the marriage,
said that he failed to see any
constraint in her actions. The
county clerk in Baltimore said that
young Mr.. Bulkley had declared he was
Of age. Mrs. Bulkley had returned to the
residence of her father after her mar
riage, and remained there until December
30. On that day a conference was held at
the Office Of H. c. Cady, in this city, at
which young Mrs. Bulkley appeared, ac-
companied by Senator Stewart, a friend
of the family, and young Bulkley. Then
the case was finally laid before her for
decision It was shown how her father
was opposed to the marriage, but she was
told to take her choice of husbands.
''I shall go with Grassie," she declared
and the young couple left the Office.
They went to hotel and remained a
week. They then went to live at private
residence, but the bride remained but a
few days, going home, where she has since
lived. The family and friends refrained
from giving any reason for the step,
which was said to be final. 1t was stated
that divorce proceedings would follow.
Young BulkIey refused to discuss the
matter. The family are especially sor-
rowful on account of the peculiar circum-
stances surrounding the case.

A somno1ent Phenomenon.

BUFFALO, N. Y, April 14.-For some
time the village Of Attica, Wyoming
County, has been greatly excited over the
case of a young woman named Emma
TOmbs who goes into frances the length Of
which she tells beforehand. She has now
been in a trance lasting over thirty days.
Emma sank into her present sleep one
month ago Sunday, (March ~. She had
lain wide awake eight consecutive days
and nights, partaking during that time Of
more nourishment than in all the six
months of her previous trance, the amount
being about a glassful of milk ad-
ministered in teaspoOnfuls. During her
presenttrancet the physician who calls daily
has managed to force between her lips
a few teaspoonfuls of the liquid, but this
is a difficult feat, as she rarely parts her
lips. When closed, her teeth are firm as
a vice, any effort to pry them open prov
ing useless. She lies almost perfectly
still, her arms and legs being perfectly
white and cold, and pulse very faeble, be-
ing rated, in the absence Of a chronom-
eter, at sixty-five beats per minute. The
face is the only warm part of her body,
being flushed, with alternating fever.
When, some time ago, she predicted
to the reporter she would sleep thirty
days and perhaps longer, she did so with
out the least hesitation.
