deal OF money to the county, which loss
is not borne by the treasurer but BY those
people who always have and are in such a
position that they must pay the taxes.
Every taxpayer who has paid his taxes IN
the past eight years has paid a propor-
tionately higher rate because the county
treasurer failed to perform the duty which
the law prescribed for HMM other
words because the county treasurer has
been more than anxious to maintain him
selfin office he has indirectly levied a
yearly tribute upon every man who has
paid his taxes in the past eight years.
The first delinquent tax sale took place
last spring. The duty which the law
places on the shoulders of the county
treasurer had been so long delayed in its
performance that everything was in a
fearful muddIe. People who might easily
have paid $40 or Sl2 in taxes on a piece
of property annually were utterly unable
to pay the heavy added taxes and interest
of eight years and the treasurer's ten per
cent. They found il impossible to raise
money on a lot worth $500 to pay taxes
amounting to 5000 or $3.50. The result of
the slipshod business methods which led
up to the sale is that an unnecessary cloud Is
cast upon the title of much real estate,
and it will take years to effectually remove
it. Last spring it was publicly given out
that Bergman would no longer be a can
didate for reelection and therefore he
might square up all the odds and ends
which had been accommodating for the past
eight years. A change seems to have
come over the spirit of his dreams since
that date and, as the San has cheerfully
intimated, the people can't Gust Bergman
any how, so We suppose they will have to
grin and bear it so long as he condescends
to serve them.

THEY ARE OURS.

1t has hitherto been mildly alleged as
one of the reasons why Mr.. Organ should
be supported for delegate hat he would
be in accord with the Democratic majority
in the house. We are now prepared to
go further and say that not only will he
be in accord with the Democratic majority
in the house, but with the Democratic
administration as well, for Cleveland's
election is now no LONGER a matter OF spec
ulation.
Evidence is rapidly accommodating FROM
all quarters to demonstrate this. Indiana
is a scene of vast Republican turmoil.
Instead of being able to carry it for Har-
rison without any outside assistance, as
was pledged at the national.convention,
the party managers have been forced to
appeal for men and financial aid to the
national Republican committee. Speak
ers have been sent to them but
the sinews of war have been with.
held for use in New York. In
diana is therefore confessedly safe for
the Democracy and when 1t is realized
that a presidential candidate cannot even
carry his own state, the effect on the re-
mainder of the canvass must be exceed
ingly facilitating. The Lord Sackville
letter which was counted upon as a great
card is simply a political boomerang.
Blaine is the Republican Burchard this
year. His conspicuous prominence in the
campaign has done untold harm to Har-
rison. New Jersey is safely Democratic;
New York is equally safe, while in Con-
n~ecticut the contest is SO close that the
result cannot be safely predicted.
Right in the line of this growing belief
is a private letter received in this city yes
terday from Mr.. Edw. A. Bowers, who Is
well known here. He writes from his
home in New Haven, Conn, and says:
Politics are red hot here, and | believe
we will carry the state. The free trade
scare has not worked and the unusua.
number Of new voters, especially in strong
Democratic precincts, give US strong
hopes OF a gain over 1884, but of course
you cannot tell hot0 these new voters will
vote, and so another element of uncer,
tainty is added to the canvass here. How
ever, everything looks favorable for US.
New Jersey and Indiana are ours and
the only reason for doubling New York
lies in that internal squabble over the
mayoralty, which some people profess to
believe will help us by bringing out a full
vote. Governor Hill was here a few days
ago and told my father privately that
there was no question about Cleveland's
carrying New York. We have no show
for Minnesota, as | have thought we had
all summer. In Washington they are
counting on California, and Postmaster
General Dickinson believes we will carry
Michigan
In the national contest the Republicans
must come into camp this year and they
will be Just as surely swamped in the ter,
%ritorial contestit Democrats do their whole
duty.
