UORHELPED MR.CLEvELAND.

| Il(9OOR HELHED MR.CLEN ELAND
New York Tribune
In the two Northern States which the
Republican party failed to carry, the
liquor question gave the Democrats the
victory. In New Jersey, while thou
sands of votes were purchased outright
and many more influenced by the liquor
dealers, enough professed Prohibition
lists to turn the scale continued thei1
voting in the air. In Connecticut, while
the methods best understood by Senator
German were employed by Democrats
to the utmost, the political Prohibition
lists drew off 1900 more votes than were
cast for st. John in 1884, leaving the
Republicans 334 votes behind. So the
saloons gave Mr.. Cleveland nine elector-
al votes, and the Prohibitionists six
electoral votes from the North, and got
no others. In New York, however, the
saloons and the Prohibitionists together
defeated Mr.. Miller for Governor, and
elected Governor to suit the liquor in
terest.
The naked recital of these facts suffi-
GENTLY explains the feeling of Republi-
cans who consider how narrowly this
combination of rum shops and Prohibi-
tionists missed winning a National vic
tory for free trade Many of the third
party Prohibitionists are men who be-
leve in Protection. But they were not
more illogical in helping free trade than
in helping the candidates of the saloons.
Many voters who were Influenced by the
liquor interest were Prohibitionists-
workingmen who realized that their
wages depended upon the maintenance
of the tariff. But they chose to vote
for their whisky and let others defend
their wages. The Prohibitionists who
acted without reason were but few;
about 400 in Connecticut and possibly
twice as many in New Jersey. But the
other voters who voted to protect their
whisky, and for that reason only did not
vote to protect their industry, were
much more numerous. Supposing that
they numbered two voters for every sa-
loon, there may have been 5000 to s.
600 in Connecticut and 10000 to 90
600 in New Jersey.
In spite of these inconsistent forms
of opposition, the Republican party has
gained the most remarkable triumph of
its history. 1t can powerfully reinforce
itself by admitting three or four new
States prior to the next election. 1t
is gaining rapidly in the South, and by
wise measures can insure Republican
victory hereafter in more than one
Southern State. Those who have imag
ined that the Republican party has out
lived its usefulness and was about to be
sent to the rubbish heap, may revise
their impressions. They are not to see
the country governed by any new or by
any other old party at present 1t is
with the Republican party that they
have to reckon, if they want to get any
thing done, and the policy of that par
ty will not be shaped by gratitude to
political PrOhibitionists or to the sa-
looms.

NORTH CAROLINA.

WHY IT WENT FOR CLEVELAND.
1t is estimated that at least 10000 ex-
Confederate soldiers, who were former
" Democrats voted for Gen. Harrison,
yet the State went for Cleveland Sec
retary Harris, of the Republican State
Committee tells how this result was ac-
complished. In the first place, the in
spectors of election were all appointed
by the Democrats, and in the ''black'
counties, largely inhabited by negro Re
publicans, the most glaring frauds were
practiced. In Halifax county, for in
stance, hours were set apart for the
voting of white and black men. For
the whites the polling lists were arrang-
ed alphabetically so that there could be
no delay, but when the blacks came up
they were hampered and delayed by
challenges, so that when the polls closed
at least 1000 blacks had been unable to
deposit their ballots. That is the way
in which North Carolina was kept solid.
Secretary Harris says:
Why, we could afford to let the Demo-
Gratis steal 10000 votes, and then have
carried the State for Harrison by a ma
jority of 1900, but they counted us out
by the most barefaced frauds and have
given the State and the electoral vote to
Cleveland.
The Republicans are pledged to use
their utmost endeavors to reform such
abuses, and see that every legal voter
has an opportunity to cast his ballot
and have it counted. The people of the
South must be given to understand that
their elections must register the will of
the voters, and not of corrupt manipu-
lators. The Republicans of the South
have right to demand justice, and
the coming Republican administration
should see that they get it.

WHEN on a rainy day you come into
your own or your friends house, never
put your wet umbrella in the intrusive
hall rack. Garry it with you into the
parlor and lay it on the sofa or center ta-
bic, or keep it in your hand so it may fer
tilize and refresh the arid vegetation
figured on the carpet. This will serve to
emphasize your call in the minds of your
friends and give You more prominent
place in their memories than if you had
followed thedull monotony of customand
usage and deposited your umbrella where
some sneak thief might have stolen it.

THE time for the meeting of the Pres
idential Electors was changed from the
third Tuesday in December, to the second
Monday in January, by an act of Con-
gress approved February 8, 1887. The
object of the change is to give States in
which a Presidential contest has been
close ample time to settle all disputes.
In some States the official canvass of the
made until late in the year, and until
that is done the Presidential Electors
cannot be declared appointed. In Min
nesota, for example, the official canvass
will not be made until the third Tues
day in December.
