"The Winning Ticket"

Every int lligent politician knows
that the next Presidential election
will be decided by the three "metro-
politan states," New York, New
JERSEY and Connecticut. To this
great lighting ground the atten-
ton of the ablest calculators of Pres
idential chances is constantly direct
ed. The "sure republican and
s'sure democratic" states are dis
missed from every earnest discus
sion, and every political symptom as
to the drift of sentiment in the three
closely related debatable states, is
eagerly scanned by millions of news
paper readers.
Recognizing these obvious facts,
the Mail and Express has sent out
to the editors of republican papers in
these three states a circular inviting
candid expressions as to the various
republican candidates for the Pres
idency. The responses to this cir
cular have been exceedingly inter-
esting and of the first Importance.
The summary which we present
in connection with these expressions
shows that the republican editors in
New York, New Jersey and Connect
lieut. so far as their responses have
come in, are for either Mr.. Depew
or Mr.. Blaine, by a majority that
comes tolerably near unanimity.
That is to sav-70 editors are for
Depew, 50 for Blaine, 10 for Gresh-
am, o for Sherman, for Allison,
for Lincoln, 2 for Hawley and each
for Benjamin Harrison, William j.
Sewell, Frank Hiscock, Phillip III.
Sheridan, Leland Stanford and Ben
jamin +. Butler.
1t is evident from these editorial
expressions that most of the editors
who are for Mr.. Blaine are for Mr..
Depew in case Mr.. Blaine is not a
candidate. The great earnestness
of the supporters of both Blaine and
Depew is very notable. 1t is, also,
a very notable fact that the names
of Depew and Harrison are most
frequently linked together and that
the writer's regard the combination
as the strongest possible for ensur-
ing success in New York and Indi-
anna. This association gives to
Harrison the support of "A of the
editors for the Vice Presidency, while
VIM. Walter Phelps, for the same
position, has 16 supporters, Lincoln
IA, Hawley IL, Depew 8, Gresham
Z, Foraker 4 Allison 3, Ingalls, 2
and several others one each.
We especially invite the attention
of our esteemed contemporaries in
the west to the views of the men
who know best what "the winning
ticket must be, to carry the region
that is so we'll represented by our
editorial correspondence and
EGpress.

For the trade year ending April
30, 1888. the receipts of butter at
Boston show total of 763, 200 tubs
and 900 boxes against $4,000
tubs and 104, 900 boxes for the same
time in 1897, an increase of 10000
tubs and 5000 boxes. The exports
this year were about $4,000 tubs,
which leaves a supply for home con-
sumption of $50, 900 tubs and 49,
600 boxes. Allowing 80 pounds for
tubs and III pounds for boxes, this
gives us a supply in round numbers
of 27,100,000 pounds, or about 52l,-
600 pounds a week. As some al
lowance must be made for butter
which comes in by express and from
nearby places, it is safe to call the
average weekly consumption of but
ter in Boston and vicinity at about
600, 200 pounds.

The exports of dress goods, wors-
ted coatings, seals and pushes, car
pets and rags, woolens and camel's
hair tops from Bradford, England,
to this country in March, amounted
to 81 $50, 900, an increase of $40,
900 over March, 1887. Is it not
true, asks the Boston Journal, that
every million dollars worth of these
goods imported crowds out a like
quantity of American made goods j?
Would it not be better to have these
goods made in this country, and the
money paid for their making distrib
nted among American workmen?

think of the administration policy
which proposes to still further in
crease imports and displace the pro-
ducts of American industry,

sioners of education of the state of
New York, which has just been pub

tered the port of New York during
the year 1887, an increase over 1886
of SO, 591, and exceeded only by the
wears 1881, 1882 and 1888. OF this
number of immigrants 81 1864 came
from Germany, $500 from Ireland,
40 ,696 from England, A, PA from
Italy, 1862 from Sweden, and 3d.
2O3 from Russia. This large num-
Der from Russia can hardly create
surprise, and if the unfavorable con-
diions of life there continue, the ten
dency to emigration may become pro-
nounced, and we may in the future
expect large accessions from that
quarter. AS to the destination of
these immigrants more than $50, 900
of them remained either temporarily
or permanently in New York. OF
the remainder 81 ,466 are reported as
going beyond the Mississippi; 6729
to the southern states 81 1882 to
Pennsylvania 23,173 to Illinois !;
1875 to Michigan; 12,995 to Mass

his respects to Senator voorhees, OF
Indiana, Tuesday, in scathing and
merciless review of his political ca
reer, bringing in charges of disloy-
atty and reasonable practices, and
summed up in the remark, with

services were during the war, they
were on the side of his country,
while Voorhees, was always working
against her. The latter interrupted

until Mr.. Ingalls, finally stopped him
roughly with the remark: eff this
were police court, you would be
committed as drunk and disorderly. J"

Henry Georges presidential pref
erences are of interest only so far as
they show his wide departure from
the cause of the workingmen, which
he so zealously advocated and
which gave him all the populari-
ty and power he has possessed in
politics. He now urges upon the
democrats the necessity of nomlnat-
ing Grover Cleveland and Roger Q.
Mills for the national ticket. To
what extent these men favor the in
terests of laborers may be decided ii
we remember that one of them has
advised the removal of all protection
to Americans and American indus
tries resulting from the protective
zeal in framing a bill which shall con-
form to the wishes of his chief except
in those states where such action
would imperil democratic success.
How the honest vote of some pOr
tions of the south are completely
suppressed, had new illustration at
the recent election in Louisiana. In
one district a republican vote dis
tributor and canvasser was shot. In
another they were driven away, while
one parish of 5000 voters was made
to give 1000 democratic majority
In New Orleans there was a rebellion
among the better portion of the dem
ocrats, who with the republicans
united on a city ticket, and defeated
the old Bourbon element by some
5000 majority. This was forseen
and SO frightened the old line dem
ocrats that to save the state they
terrorized the country and overdid
the counting, running up their ma
iority alone in the state to beyond
their entire vote in some former
years. Yet if any fault is found
with such dishonesty, the party which
profits by this outrage, including
eminently respectable mugwumps and
Independents, call it ''reviving the
war" and ''waving the bloody shirt.
