THE New York correspondent of the
Mugwump Boston Herald quotes some
of the best informed Democrats of New
York as saying that Cleveland would not
have over 10000 majority in New York
city and Brooklyn. We dor not believe
he will have more than two-thirds of
that, but unless he has more than 10000
in the two cities he will lose the electoral
vote of the State.

AN interesting feature of the Vermont
and Maine elections is the decline in the
Prohibition vote. There was no PrOhi-
bition vote There was no Prohibition
candidate for Governor in Vermont four
years ago, and comparison must be made
with st. Johns vote for President, which
was 1,752. This year the Prohibition
candidate for Governor has only 1880,
and there is no reason to suppose Gen
eral Fisk will have any more in NOvem-
Der, as his party made an earnest can
vass on Governor. This is falling off
of almost exactly one-quarter. A SINH
lar report comes from Maine.

THE Presidents letter of acceptance
is defensive in tone throughout. 1t is a
whining apology for his Free Trade Mes
sage and the Mills bill. 1t is confession
that his party is already whipped on the
ground of its own choosing.

Mr.. CLEVELAND has nothing to say

1t lodges no issues, is fair and frank on

this, as in other things, there is no re-

A FEW nights ago Mr.. Roger Q. Mills
the Texas statesman, made speech al
New Haven, Conn. In the course of his
able presentation of the advantages tO
be derived from Free Trade, he asserted
that if our ports should be thrown open
for the admission of what he called raw
material duty free, our manufacturers
would be able to successfully compete
with the world. A moment afterward a
quiet, gray-haired man arose in the aud
ience and inquired of the speaker if he
would permit him to ask a question:
The great man blandly assented, where
upon he was asked how it comes the bulk
of our cotton is shipped abroad for man.

THE New York Democratic State Con-

Monday of last week, accomplished the
feat of renominating Hill for Cover
nor without opposition. A platform
was adopted, in which the administra-
tions of President Cleveland and Cover
nor Hill were approved. Other planks
endorsed the Chinese bill, denounced the
liquor license bill, and referred to the
labor question. The programme was
soon carried out and the Convention ad-
iourned.

FORTY-sEvEN million gallons is the eS-
timated amount of whisky in bond in
Kentucky at the present time. Almost
all the distilleries in the State have been
closed by the Whisky Trust in order to
maintain the price of whisky. Under the
internal revenue laws the government
furnishes free storage to this whisky
while it goes on increasing in value for
the benefit of the worst monopoly the
country ever saw. The Whisky Trust

THERE are two sharp points that should
be driven under the finger nails and into
the brains of the Cleveland crowd of fal-
styling and clustering politicians whose
laundering has distinguished this Presi-
Dental campaign:
l. The policy of Cleveland's December
Message (Which was his bid for a second
term) and the Mills bill, and the st. Louis
platform of the party, is to keep up the
tax on whisky and tobacco-that is to
say, the war taxes-and on sugar and
miscellanies, leaving the "tax reform "
reduction of taxation and all that sort of
thing to come exclusively out of the pro-
tective duties. This is on its face simply
q scheme to destroy Protection, and is the
11sdeSt and most radical and reckless Free
Trade.
II. The President, in December, adopt
ed as the foundation fact upon which his
policy was to be built to confer upon him
a second term of the Presidency, the es-
innate that the annual surplus revenue
was S113,0O0,000. The Mills bill was
framed to reduce this by the sum of S75,
100000. This measure received the sup
port of the utmost exertion of the extreme
power of the administration. The figures
showing the amount of income over ex-
penditure for the current fiscal year were
called for by Democrats, and to their
amazement and horror the surplus was
dwindled from $113,OO0000 to $12,000,-
600, showing that the Cleveland cam
paign for reelection was run upon mis-
calculation exceeding one hundred mil
lions. With this before him Cleveland
stuck to the old story in his letter of ac
ceptance, after holding it three months,
and he demands, therefore, as measure
of reform, according to his own figures,
an annual deficiency IN the national
Treasury Of siaty millions Of dollars, or
that ace shall spend .foe millions a month,
uader a ".tiugal and economical" Gd-
ministrGtiOn, more than Our income.
This is the entertainment to which the
Democratic party invites the country.

Natural Cas-"

The pretty farce, Natural Cas- full of
bright and happy things, will be played in
Boyd's opera house on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week by the same com
pany of clever people who have made success
for themselves and the play. Natural Cas-
has a very funny plot, is brimful of amusing
surprises and ridiculous situations. 1t was
constructed for Laughing purposes" and is
admirably performing its mission. 1t cap.
lures audiences, forces them out of their
staid and sober propriety, and compels them
to laugh and applaud. The play has been
known but very little more than a year, yet
in that short time it has become a pronounced
favorite IN New York, where it had a run
last winter of fifty nights, and also in Bos-
ton, where it ran forty nights. Donelly and
Girard are the two central figures, but they
are surrounded by IA company of comedians
WHIT are very little their interiors. The per-
formance is interspcrsed with musical selec-
tons, limitations of noted actors and opera
singers, and many new and novel sayings.
Everything will combine to make the per.
formances of Natural Cas- at Boyd's even
more enjoyable and successful than their en-
pagCment last wear.
