The New York Tribune exposes a con
spiracy of the Democratic managers to steal
that state from Harrison this year as it was
stolen from Blaine four years ago. The
only difference is that the scheme is larger
and more carefully planned now than then.
The Democratic resources are greater
their corruption fund is larger. They have
imported into the state to serve them in
their shameful work some of the most ac-
complished and experienced manipulators
of elections that can be found in any part
of the Union. They have drawn them from
Maryland, from Indiana from Ohio, and
from various Southern states. They are
men hardened in crime and of long practice
in the work which they have been hired to
do. Their plan is to corrupt as many in
spectors of elections as possible, buying out
right as many as are saleable. They ex-
poet, as in 1884, to corrupt a sufficient
number of Republican inspect ors and poll
clerks so that the Cleveland vote shall be
increased beyond the actual number of bal
lots for Cleveland, and the vote for Harri-
son shall be diminished below the number
actually in the ballot box for Harrison, as
was done in the case of Cleveland and Blaine
respectively in 1884. This fraudulent and
villainous work will be carried on most ex
tensiyely in the lower wards of New York
which are Democratic strongholds but will
be attempted all over the state If the vote
of New York is declared for Cleveland it
will he because such methods as these are
practiced successfully.

favor Harrison's carrying it by about 1000

would give a Republican plurality. New

chances in favor of the Democrats.

residence. Up to 1886 he had always voted
in Buffalo. While governor of New York
he went to Buffalo and voted for himself for
President Of the United States. 1t has
been asserted that he went there from
Washington in 1885 and voted for Gov.
Hill That was the last time. Then fol

Mr.. Cleveland has not set foot in Buffalo

When Chairman Quay of the Republican
National committee deposited $25, 600 to
put stop to fraudulent registration in
New York city, he promised 10000 for the
first conviction, $1,000 for the second, $500
for the third and $3.50 for each succeeding
conviction until all the money was used
Detective Leary of the Madison street po-
lice station claimed the first money, $1,000,
his victim being a man who had registered
at three polling places, and who was
promptly sentenced to prison for two years
and six months He did bright thing by
claiming to be a Republican repeater, thus
attempting to do the party that had brought
him to justice the last injury in his power.
There is some rich political reading on
our first page today. Besides the story of
Minister Vests letter we hope no one will
omit to read the remarks of Mr.. Cleveland's
postmaster general ON New England, in
which he declares that her people went into
the war of the rebellion not from motives of
patriotism but to make money, and that she
never drewa generous or patriotic breath.
Such n revelation of the feeling of the Ad-
ministration toward New England is worth
having and needs no comment, but it is in
credible that any public man, and last of
all member of the Presidents cabinet,
should reveal his true inwardness in this
way. On the stump in Michigan Mr.. Dick
inson has reiterated his assault on this sec
ton. Somebody has aptly remarked that
IF the Administration hadn't abandoned
all expectation of carrying any New Eng
land state, it would probably call Dickin-
son in and put him under lock and key"

Washington. Oct. 3.-The substitute for ~
Dark Lantern" Free-Trade bill was reported 70
the Senate to-day by Mr.. Aldrich of the Finance
Committee. The written report WAS not sub
mitted because the views of the Democratic
minority were not ready and probably will not
be before Friday. The truth is that the Demo-
Gratis have been given a nut which they are I'M
able 10 crack They are anxious beyond all
things to make the country believe that they arc
not Free Traders but they realize that the at
tempt TO do will deceive intelligent man
who may study and compare the so-cailed Mills
bill with the Senate substitute.
Ten months ago President Cleveland warned
Congress Of the near approach Of financial dis
aster. which could be averted only by prompt
reduction of the surplus The response Of the
Democratic House eight months later was bill
which, according to its trainers and supporters
would have reduced the revenues some $76,000,-
600. but which, if past experience is trustworthy
guide would have led speedily to an increase OF
revenue. President Cleveland therefore ought to
thank the Senate Committee for its discovery
of a method whereby reduction of some s75,00o,-
