HOW TO SETTLE A GRAVE QUESTION.

HOW TO SETTLE A GRAVE QUESTION,
As the charge has been reiterated
until it is accepted as fact. that delin-
quents of the Democratic party are
furni shed with tax receipts to vote ON
election days, and that at the primaries
the factions in that party challenge and
exclude such voters for faotiOnal ends.
why not have the Republican party
act as an arbitrator to rectify the abuse.
not only for party good, but for public
welfare. The delinquent lists shOuId
be obtained, and when an individual
on 1t that has been returned and oI-
lowed to the collector by the Lew
Court, is detected voting upon n tau
receipt, let note with witness of the
act be kept, and suit be afterwards in
Sututed by the county against the col
rector Tor the amount of the tax TINS
nlnched from the treasury. No matter
II no money was paid for the receipt:
SO Tar as the county is concerned it has
been robbed to that extent, and the
vote OF a taxpayer neutralized thereby.
the fact of the delinquent having the
receipt would be primG .fdcie evidence
That the collector had been allowed a
credit in his settlement for which he
was not entitled. fla little money was
expended in this direction in hunting
down such dishonesty, it would do more
practical good to the Republican cause

to the resolution, says that since Col.
Lasselle assumed the Office made vacant
by Col. Scott, no changes from the In
struction and plan adopted in 1880 have

prohibiting the giving Of official informa-

that one of these persons afterwards Sc
cured the information desired, while the
other was informed that he might do SO

to Mr. Conkiingss Office, and was present
when the distinguished ex-senator denied
himself to newspaper representatives.
This gentleman has, presumably at the
instance of the author, divulged the
tenor of a letter which Mr.. Conkling is
said to be now engaged upon, and which
is in reply TO an envelope from Chairman

pencil, "Watchmap, what of the night?,'

history of the Republican party up to the

discusses the questions of finance and
diplomacy in their comparative relations
to the two great parties. He treats
of Mr.. Cleveland's administration
almost loosely. He also finds the
civil service ~pretensions OF the admins
tration a source of infinite jest. He de-
clares that since renounciug politics he
has found life really worth living, butdoes
not intimate his future plans. Several
times in his letter he wishes the reader
to understand that he is simply writing
as n who is interested in good govern
ment. He devotes but a short cage to
the Blaine letter, which really has called
forth this correspondence. The refer
ence to the Blaine letter is substantially
as follows:

letter of the gentleman from abroad is
