The Presidential Election.
PHILADELPHIA. June, 20.

The American Presidential election of
1888 will br held upon Tuesday, Novem.
Der 6. All the parties have set their
machinery in notion and are preparing to
open the campaign. The Democrats have
proposed President Grover Cleveland, of
New York, for reelection, with Allen q.
Thurman, Of Ohio, for Nic,- President. The
Republicans have named General Benz l.
min Harrison, Of Indiana, for President,
and Levi u. Morton, of New York, for Vice.
President. The ProhibjtioniStS, who are
now Il most powerful third party, and may
be potential in mixing matters in the
''dOubtful StafeS,' nave nominated Gener-
al Clinton b, Fisk. Of New jersey, for
President, and john 4. Brooks. of MISSou-
ii, for Vice-PreSidrnt. They have no hope
OF the success of their candidates, but they
have a large following who can create Il divi-
sion from the RepubticlnS, particularly in
New Jersey. The labOur party has dwin-
died and is split into fractions, so that it
has ceased to exert amy force. Henry
George has led one squad into tho Demo.
cratic camp, these being largely in New
York City. The main body. under the
name OF "UniOn LabOur Party has nomi-
mated A. !. Streeter, of Illinois, for Presi-
dent, and Samuel Evans. of Texas, for
' IOC~1 ICSUlCuO NHIlC yCU blIOCItCl AdOUlOuS
called the "United LabOur Party and led
by the restless ex-priest, DR.. NJ Glynn,
has nominated Robert Fl. Cawdry, of Illi-
noiS, for President, and w. II. L. Wake
field, of Kansas, for Vice-President. In
it's shattered condition, with most of the
labour agitators m%an@uvring to pick up
something on the outskirts of the great
parties, no politician now has much anxiety
about the effect upon the leading parties of
the labour vote that may be cast for these
candidates. But they all fear the
boomerang that may be in store for them
in that unknown quantity the prohibition
vote.
The President and Vice-President of the
United States are chosen by electors. In
each State the people vote for a number
of electors equal to the whole number OF
Senators and representatives the State has
, 1888-08-25

in Congress. Each voter casts a ballot
for all the electors to which the State is
entitled, so that the popular majority thus
gets all the electors and the minority gets
none. Thus in practice, the whole cleo
tOral power of a State is recorded for one
set of candidates and none for the oppo-
nents. The successful candidate for Pre-
sident must have a majority of all the
electors. The whole numter of these
electors is 401, so that POI is a majority,
and at the election of 1884 the Demo-
Gratis carried 20 States with 219 electors,
and the Republicans Is States with lS2
electors. While, in practice the voting for
President is done all over the country,
yet, most of the States are steady adherents
of one party or the other, so that the
party managers concede the result in
them, and the active campaign is usually
confined mainly to the few doubtful States
which, by changing their results, may
give victory to one side or the other. In
the election Of 1884, the Democrats selec-
ted Cleveland electors in the following
States.

Total electors for Blaine

Iotdl electors Tor BlaIlle &c. .. ... lOZ
The four Northern States carried by Clcye-
land in 1884 were the doubtful States in
that election, and they are similarly situat-
ed in the contest of 1883.
Mr.. Cleveland to secure reelection to
the Presidency must add to the 1913 electo-
raj votes of the Southern States, which he
is reasonably sure Ofagain securing. enough
Others to give HIM the necessary POI, which
is d majority. To do this he must carry
New York, and, in addition, Indiana. or,
losing Indiana, then Connecticut and New
Jersey combined, which have an equal
electoral power of 10 votes. General Har-
rISon, on the other hand, to defeat Mr..
Cleveland must add from these doubtful
States 10 votes to the 1872 which were car
RED III 1884 by Mr.. Blaine. New York
alone would do this, or Indiana with either
Connecticut or New Jersey. These figures
display the elements of the campaign upon
which the United States is entering and
the party managers have already in their
nominating conventions trimmed their sails
to catch the popular breeze in these doubt
full States. Mr.. Cleveland comes from
New York General Harrison from Indiana.
The two Vice Presidents reverse this, Mr..
Morton coming from New York, while Mr..
Thurman, of Ohio, was named by the De.
mocrats for special influence upon Indiana.
The "Hoosier State" of the West, and the
empire State" of the Atlantic seaboard,
are thus regardeda as pivots Of thecampaign,
and in this preliminary strategy for posi-
ton it must be admitted that the Republi-
cans have done better to crafty the State
pride of Indiana than their opponents, for
they take the President from that debata-
bic State, and they are feeling very conf
dent of adding Indiana's Is votes to the
Republican column, thus increasing it to
1877, or only four votes short ofsuccess. In
fact the chances in Indiana are all on the
Republican side, for while Mr.. Cleve-
land had 6,512 majority there in 1884.
yet at the last State election in 1886 the
Republicans were successful by 1924
majority. The other four votes they
expect to find in Connecticut, which is
a "high tariff" State, and was only
carried by Mr.. Cleveland in 1884 by the
meagre majority of 1924. while the
Republicans nave since uniformly carried
the State elections. It will thus be seen
that from the outset the Republicans will
make Indiana and Connecticut their battle
ground and will use their best endeavours

ANSCHLAG.
How He Passes the Time at the
County Jail.

HOW He Passes the Time at the
County Jail.
Since the day was set for the execution
OF Anschlag, covicted Of the murder OF
the Hitchcocks, he has been confined in
front room of the Jail away from the
other prisoners. The room has the two
front windows which open toward Frank
lin street on the main floor it is on the
left hand side of the main entrance.
There are two cot-beds in the room. one
of which is occupied by Anschlag and
the other by his watcher. A heavy chain
passes around the murderer's leg and is
fastened to a ring in the floor beneath,
so that he must eat, sleep and live, as
long as life is allowed him, in this one
spot. While he lived among the prison
ers Anschlag was talkative, lively and
fond of company. He spent the greater
part OF his time playing cards, at which
occupation he became an expert. He
was not popular with the other prisoners
as he was generally considered mean.
While his money lasted he lived we'll
but toward the end of his time of con-
finement in the middle tank ne was
compelled to get along on the same fare
as his fellows.
Since his removal to the front room
Anschlag has become very reticent. He
spends most of his time writing long
letters to his various relatives, particu.
larly his sister, They contain little but
appeals for help and more money. He
is very fond OF tobacco and present of
few cigarettes or cigars will sometimes
induce him to talk when nothing else
will have any effect upon him. He spent
most of the day yesterday reading the
Bible, for of late he has become very
devout.

CHURCH IMMANUEL.
Opening of New Presbyterian
Church.

Church.
The new church Emmanuel, Just or
ganized, held its first services yesterday
in the Los Angeles College building,
corner of Hope and Eighth streets, the
pastor, Rev. DR.. ]. w. Chichester, con-
Quoting the services. The hall was
crowded, between three and four hun
dred of congregation being present.
This new church is an offshoot OF the
First Presbyterian Church, the member
ship OF which had become 80 large that
the pastor determined, in the interest of
the cause, to withdraw and try
to build up new church in a
part of the city which has grown very
rapidly and which is without conven-
iently accessible house of Presbyterian
work, DIR. Chichester relinquishes
a salary of $4,000 and accepts
half that sum in his new field. We men
ton this merely to show the earnestness
and sincerity of the reverend gentleman
His sermon yesterday was very elo-
quent and inspiring one. He took his
text from the 18th and 18th verses of the
First Chronicles, relating how the COM
panies came to join David when he
was shut up in Ziklag, after the
Philistines had triumphed over Saul.
David went out to meet the companies
and said: eff ye come peaceably unto
me to help me, mine heart shall be knit
unto YOU" And they said; Chine are
we, David, and on thy side, son OF
Jesse-peace, peace be unto thee, and
peace be to thine helpers, for thy God
helpeth thee The suggestive aptness
OF the text was applied to the congrega-
tion who had come to the new
Church to help its pastor build up an,
other temple for the glory OF God. The
world was filed with sin, and selfishnees.
and self-interest, and the wicked ways
of the world were fastening themselves
in strongholds, and it was time that the
soldiers of the cross should put on their
armor and make head against the enemy.
His heart would be knit unto them, for
they had come up to help him.
If they would be his as the COM
panies were David's, he would know
no labor too great, no task too
formidable for him to undertake in the
service Of the Lord. He would devote
himself hand and heart and soul to the
work of Jesus Christ. Sinking himself
in his great trust, he would divest
his mind of all thoughts ex-
cepting the exaltation of the Savior,
and humbly seek in all things to
build up His kingdom. He spoke
earnestly of the power of organized
effort, and alluded to the perfect organ
ization of the Jesuits, by which the
Reformation was impeded and the
detection from the Old Church was
stayed. He pointed to the Catholic
Church as a wonderful example of the
power of organization and to the Metho-
dist system of organized order by which
she was advancing and had advanced
so rapidly in power and numbers. He
urged his hearers to take lesson from
these notable examples, and organize the
combined efforts of the congregation in
advancing the work laid out for the New
Church of Emmanuel. There should be
a place and task for every member no
matter how weak or feeble he or
she might be. All working along har-
moniously for one grand object, their
united endeavors would, with the Lords
help. ACCOMPLISH Whatpver thay ro;obt

4 SNEAK THIEF
Gets Into a Tent and Takes Away
a Gold Watch.

AZ UOhu ~dtChs
Some sneak thief on Saturday night
took advantage Of the fact that meet
ing was in progress in the Tabernacle on
Fourth and Los Angeles streets, to get
into one OF the adjoining tents and make
off with number of valuable articles.
The Tabernacle is itself large tent and
is used for Union Gospel meetings.
Near at hand there are: several living
tents, one OF which is occupied by the
Rev. f. f. Kingdom and his family.
Between Z and 9 O'Clock Saturday even
ing, while Mr.. and Mrs. Kingdom and
every one else about the tents were at
the meeting in the Tabernacle the burg
lar got in. They were evidently inter
rupted at their work from the confused
condition in which trunks and valises
were left by them. Among the articles
taken were hand bag containing a
iiady's gold Swiss watch, small box OF
jewelry and fine suit of clothes. No
clue of any kind was afforded to the
identity of the thieves.

ALL SETTLED.
The Railroad Tariff to be Changed

The Railroad Tariff to be Changed
ON the 2Sth Inst.
The readers of the HERALD will re-
member the great outcry that went up
whens. the new transcontinental tariff
went into effect. Chicago, St. Louis and
other interior points had to pay duty of
3.2O on articles that were only taxed
$3.50 to New York. lis being the result
OF the rulings of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which decreed that places
having water competition were entitled
to lower rates than interior points. The
Chicago merchants at once rose up in
arms against such a proposition and
were joined by the trunk roads, who
claimed that their pro rata of
the rate across the continent
was insufficient. An appeal was made
to the Commission, pointing out how
badly the new tariff worked and how the
trade OF Chicago and other interior mar
kets was ruined, inasmuch as the At
lantic houses could ship their goods here
at greatly reduced rate. The result
was announced yesterday by telegraph
and was received at tie Southern Pacific
Offices in this city late in the evening.
On the 23d inst. tariff No. 8, which APP
plies westward from Atlantic sea-
board points to terminals will ap-
ply to everything east of the 9th
meridian. This means an abrogation
of all the tariffs but Nos. s, 8 and 10,
and there are now sixteen in existence.
A complete revolution will result from
this, as it makes the New York rate the
maximum one, and Chicago men will
now only have to pay the same as the
New York merchants. Shipments west
ward have been greatly lessened during
the period that these tariffs have been in
effect, and everything will now assume
a roseate hue again, and the Chicago
and St. Louis men will OF course be
jubilant.

WHAT AM TO DO2

The symptoms of biliousness are
unhappily but too we'll known.
They differ in different individuals
to some extent. A bilious man is
seldom a breakfast eater. Too
frequently, alas, he has an excel
lent appetite for liquids but none
for solids of a morning. His ton
que will hardly bear inspection at
any time; If it is not white and fur
red, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly
out OF order and diarrhea or con-
stipation may be a symptom orthe
two may alternate. There are Of
ten Hemorrhoids or even loss OF
blood. There may be gIddi0ess
and often headache and aeidity OF
fiatulence and tenderness in the
pit of the stomach. To correct all
this if not effect cure try Green's
