Mr.. Morton's Letter.

| Mr.. Levi P. Morton's letter of acceptance
will rot attract great deal of attention or
excite much comment 1t is remarkable
for only one thing, and that is the indirect
effort to make it appear that the democrats
are advocating free trade. OF course Mr..
Morton knows that there is no free trade
party in the country, and if be were as can
did as he pretends to lie, he would have
said so.
Mr.. Morton does not now advocate put
ting salt on the free list, but when he was
member of congress, he voted for free
salt, as well as for the removal of the duty
on ali materials which are needed in the
making of newspapers and books, and it
has not been very long since he defended
his course in voting to take the tariff off
those articles. 1t would be interesting to
know why he voted for free salt and free
paper, and yet objects to reduction of the
tariff on clothing and many other articles
which the people are compelled to have.
Like all the other republicans who are
defending the present tariff, Mr.. Nor
ton, in order to make an argument
on the tariff issue, is compelled to assume
though he knows that there are no demo-
Gratis who are advocating free trade. If,
however, Mr.. Morton were to state the
position of the democrats frankly, there
would not be sufficient ground left for him
to stand upon.
1t is noticeable that Mr. Morton has
nothing to say about the charge that was
made against him in the early part of the
campaign that he employed imported con-
tract labor on his Hudson river place. Like
most rich republicans, he believes in getting
labor at the lowest possible price, even if he
has to go abroad for it. 1t suits HIM to de-
mand high protective tariff on the alleged
ground that such a tariff is necessary to in
sure good wages to workingmen, but in
practice he pursues course calculated to
reduce workingmen's wages. He is pro-
tectionist when the interests of monopolists
are at stake, but ne is a free trader in labor,
because he and those with whom he has the
greatest sympathy want to get labor where
it can be obtained the cheapest.

The STATE Election.

The state election yesterday passed off
quietly. As the democratic ticket for state
officers had no opposition, it was not ex-
pected that there would be any marked in
dications of interest, or any excitement.
The vote, as was to be expected, was a
rather light one. In some of the counties.
however, in which there were opposing leg
slative tickets, very fair vote was polled,
and a good deal of enthusiasm was
manifested. In this county the voting was
quite brisk at times during the day, but the
total vote polled was small The demo
cratic legislative ticket was elected by a
handsome majority, which would have
been slightly larger, perhaps. if some of the
democrats had not scratched their tickets.
They do not appear to have
had any legitimate reason for
doing so. According to the statement
of one of the candidates for tue legislature
the scratching was inaugurated by men,
Der of the county executive committee. As
Stunning that this statement is cor
rect, the committee should take, no.
tice of the matter, and investigate
it. A democrat holding SO responsible a
position should certainly be given chance
to explain why he endeavored to defeat a
part of his party's ticket. If he cannot
support his party's candidates, he ought not
tvs councils. The executive committee
should bs composed of men loyal to the
party and to its candidates.

A dispatch from Ell Paso, Tex, says the
movement of the Mormons toward Mexico
is assuming definite shape and large proper
tons. The statement that the Mormons
have purchased large tract of land from
the Mexican government is untrue, but, by
buying land from private owners, they
have succeeded in getting control of many
acres in Northern chihuahua, and they are
negotiating for more. Several Mormon
villages, it is said, have sprung up during
the last few years.

The belief that Mr.. Blaine will be the con-
trolling spirit of the republican administra-
ton, if Gen. Harrison Is elected, does not
cause the business men CT the country to
look with more favor upon the republican
candidate than they otherwise would. In
fact, it causes a great many of them to sup
port Mr.. Cleveland more earnestly than
ever. They are satisfied with Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration, but they would be

speaking, of Mr. Blaine's.

laid Smalls on the shelf two years ago. 1t is

sidered favorably their appeal, but it is
hardly probable that he has. Money is not so
plentiful at republican headquarters as to

Why Shouldn't He?

From the CleueLond Plain Dealer tDeml
Why shouldn't Blaine defend trusts? He is
perfectly logical and only little holder and
little more outspoken than his fellow republi-
cans. Why should he not defend trusts: They
are an inseparable part of the system of high
taxation that the Republican party has resolved
to maintain. Trusts and a high tariff go to-
gether all the time, and since the Republican
party defends the one why should it not stand
up manfully for the other?

When to Take a Wife's Advice.
From the YonkerS Statesman.


A young couple, not long ago, received an in
vitation to an early dinner given in honor of an
eastern college professor. The guests were
most of them former students of the professor,
and the students clearly indicated that it was to
be an informal affair."
In discussing the important subject of what
to wear, the young wife, who belonged to fam
lily OF high social position, and was well up in
all these little matters which so clearly define
the difference between the wellbred and those
who do not always do the right thing in the
right way, urged her husband to wear a plain
suit
But not having been married long enough to
know that his wife's advice had any particular
value, he declined to be guided by her opinion,
and donned full dress suit for the occasion.
However when at the house of her friend,
when her husband joined her to escort her to
the parlor, he rather nervously remarked soto
voice: II believe am the only man here in a
dress suit" She replied in the sweeteft man
ner possible: "Oh, no; that is not so; all the
walters are in full dress suits.
