NEW YORK ELECTION FRAUDS.

Some of the inside history of the last city
election in New York is coming to light. The
main interest of the election centered in the
contest for district prosecutor, in which the
opposing candidates were Mr.. De Lancy Mich
OILS and Mr.. Fellows. the former the Re-
form-Democratic candidate, and the latter
regular Democratic. President Cleveland
wrote letter indorsing Mr. Fellows He was
elected and it was claimed as Democratic
victory. Evidently it was. The report of the
grand jury, made after partial investigation
of the facts, says:
'"There was carried into effect scheme of
bribery and corruption so alarming as to call
for the most vigorous action upon the part of
those charged with the duty of defending the
community against crimes of dangerous
character. Evidence discloses the fact that In
many election districts the entire control of
the polls was in the hands of well-known pro-
fessional criminals who manned the polls,
terrorizing and 1ntimidating respectable vot-
ers and openly buying up the votes of tramps
and criminals. Evidence has been given that
money was openly paid for votes in the pres
ence of officers of the law detailed to protect
the purity of the ballot, without interference
at their hands"
This is New York city politics, or at least
Democratic politics. The country has been
too long overshadowed by the claims of "the
Empire State" TO a front place in politics.
New York is great in many things, but honest
politics is not one of them. There is hardly
Southern State where fair elections are
greater rarity than in New York city. De-
mocracy runs as wild there as it does in any
part of the South. It is about as useless for
the Republicans to try to secure fair cleo
ton and an honest count in New York city as
it is in Yazoo county, Mississippi. Mr.. Blaine
was unquestionably counted out in 1884 The
Democracy are too well organized. When pro-
fessional criminals man the polls and control
the approaches to the ballot boxes what can
be expected It is about time for Republic
ans to realize that they have precious little
chance in a State where the criminal classes
are as strong as they are in New York. The
graduates of Sing-Sing and Auburn are too
numerous. The hope of the Republican
party does not lie there

THE Princeton Leader, referring to the In
sane Asylum outrages under the present man
agement, says:
almost every man in the State has rela-
tive, a neighbor, friend, or the relative,
neighbor or friend of his friend, confined in
that institution, and many of them will not sit
by and see these unfortunates abused. This
matter alone will go far towards keeping De-
mocracy out of power in Indiana, and if all
the voters of the State could be brought to an
understanding of affairs that has existed at
the asylum for the past three years the Re-
publican majority in the State would reach

THE you're another" style of argument
which has been adopted by the Sentinel is not
ness of it. SO far as the postal department is
concerned, lies in the fact that however strong
may have been the partisanship under Repub-
lican administrations the service was very
close to perfection. Under the present ar
rangement it is offensive partisanship first
and efficiency afterward. and if thu partisan
can't learn his business it makes no difference
to the reform administration.

men object. Some have run
away and others are begging
leave to resign, for the Chinese
law is severe. They cannot re-
fuse to race their imperial mis-.
