Our Republican contemporaries cannot
seem to understand how it is that the Pro-
hibition voters do not rally to the support
OF the Republican candidates, and 50 help
to secure the p%ermancncy of the high
license local option law. 1t is perfectly
easy to understand. The Prohibition party
is organized for a purpose. 1t has a we'll
defined object in view-the prohibition of
the liquor traffic, and the enforcement of
prohibition when attained. They are not
compromising ON any substitutes, they are
not accepting any amendments, and they
are not turning aside for any halfway
measures whatsoever. They propose to
fight it out on that line, so long as there is
a single additional vote to be gained to the
support of their platform and their candi-
dates. They are not working in the inter
est of either the Republican or Democratic
parties, but against them both, because
they are both dominated by the element
that is opposed to prohibition. They are
both committed either to n-interferelce
or to high license, which the Prohibition
list regards as being equally wrong. Now
if the late local option law can be shown
to answer the requirements of the Prohi-

In response to a query addressed to
Walter S. Springer, of P~ennsgrove, Prohl-

as to the truth of the rumor SO extensively
circulated tina he had withdrawn from the

According to the Press a number of
Vlneland ladies have organized a "Wo-
mans Republican Christian Temperance
Alliance" for the purpose of downing"
the Democrats and Prohibitionists Their
title is suggestive-frst Republican, then
Christian. We notice that in their resolu-
lions they claim the dry majority at the
recent local option election in that county
as a "Republican majority. This is i'm
portant, if true.

Somebody, with whom the wish was
probably father to the thought, has started
the rumor that Walter S. Springer, the
Prohibition candidate for Assembly, has
withdrawn from the ticket. Mr.. Springer
has done nothing of the kind. He is in
the fight to stay until the closing of the polls
on Tuesday, Nov. 9Th. 1888. Our friends,
the enemy, must try something else.

We we're asked the other day what pro-
portion, respectively. Of the Prohibition
vote came from the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties. We replied, in substance,
that it depended pretty much on locality.
II a man fires a gun into a flock of sheep,
of which three -fourths are black, he will
stand a fair chance of bringing down more
of the black sheep than the white, and
vice ver8a. So in a given locality, where
Republican votes are largely in the major
ity, the guns of Prohibition logic and ar
gument trained upon the people en- naasSe,
will be likely to convict and convert a lar
ger number OF Republicans than OF others,
and the opposite will be the case where the
Democrats are numerically the strongest.
as citizens, thinkers and voters, and not
with respect to their present party affilia-
tions. The man that can be convinced
will be convinced in spite of his Republi-
anism or his Democracy.
Looking at the matter from another
point of view, according to ouT Republican
friends, by far the greatest proportion of
the Prohibition vote comes ont of the Re-
publican party. From the same authority
we learn that the Prohibition party is
largely, if not entirely, made up of
''cranks, :" ''knaves" and fanatics. These
things being true. and the Republican or
gans have been DINING them into our ears
pretty constantly, sit then must follow as
night the day" that the greater part of the
Prohibition vote comes from that party
that has the most cranks, knaves and
fanatics in its ranks. This is a Prohibit
ton conclusion, drawn from Republican
premises, and if it strikes the Republican
party pretty hard it is the f.ult Of the
premises and not of the conclusions. Can
dor compels us to state, however, that we
regard the premises as lame and faulty,
and the true theory is that with which we
commenced this article.

toners on BOOTS and SHOES as
we arc at this present time. We
placed our orders early in the sea-

we have a BETTER, LARGER and
CHEAPER stock than ever before.

largely last year and have not had
a single complaint, though we have
taken great pains to make inqliry

gains in boots and you do yourself
injustice if you fail to take a look at
our stock. We don't care SO much
for profits as we do to sell the

In Ladies and Children's wear

we arc quite as fortunate as on

"r!IE DEMOCRAT A FRAUD.

Another fraudulent effort largely direct
cd against the Prohibition party, is the
paper known as The Democrat published at
20 Park Row, in this city, and sent to both
Democrats aud Prohibitionists in all parts
Of the land. Published and paid for by the
Republican party it seeks to disgust Dem.
ocrats with their party by pleading for the
rankest Free Trade and, what directly con-
Germs us, it seeks to ALLEVIATE Prohibition
lists from the Prohibition party by compli-
menting the Prohibition party, praising
the Democratic National Committee for
printing and distributing Prohibition doe
umcnts, endorsing the Voice, and in gener-
al giving out such Ttterances as wonld
lead it's unsophistieated readers to believe
that the Democratic party was heartily
and financially supporting the Prohibition
movement.
Do not DC deceived by this Republican
FRAUD designed to secure votes under false
pretenccs.

utes before it was time. At General
Boyce's order the Judge, Mcllmoil, ille-
gally took the ballot-box under his arm
and ran away with it up the stairs. "Who
is to blame that there was no election in
the Fourth Ward? Boyce, Payne and
Gosper."
Benjamin then took the floor and re-
lated how the "bosses" had tried to fool
the colored men, and how he had de-
tected them in the act of scratching off
the names of the colored candidates
when they had promised to support
them. 1t was then that he had turned
and worked againt the caucus ticket.
The end was row. Mr.. Niles, after
taunting the would-be boilers with never
having paid any dues, moved that the
crowd which had opposed Moore in his
performances on Last Saturday be de-
nounced.
The Chairman refused to put the mo-
ton. 1t was pushed, and would have
been carried by an overwhelming major
ity, had not the boilers broken up the

calling out adjourn" The Chairman
left his position, and with cheer for

THE COLEMAN DIVIDEND.
w. II. Coleman Offers to Pay Fort
Cents on the Dollar.

SAN Francisco, July 23.-It was
learned to-day that VIM. T. Coleman;
of the suspended mercantile firm oi
VIM. 7. Coleman & Co., communicated
with his creditors on Saturday last
offering to pay 40 cents on the dollar Of
his Indebtedness, 10 per cent to be paid in
cash, the balance in equal payments at
one, two and three years from the date OF
the first payment. Furthermore, divis.
ion was to be made whenever five per
cent of the Indebtedness is on hand, ire
spective of time. The schedule filed two
months ago shows total liabilities of $2,-
9l9,993. The assets were first thought to
greatly exceed this amount, but it is now
known they had been over estimated,
and Mr.. Coleman's assgnees give
it as their opinion that forty cents
on the dollar is as much as
he can possibly pay. They believe his
proposition will be accepted by his cred
itors, though as the latter are somewhat
scattered, some weeks may previously
elapse and that firm may may yet re-
sumo business.

SAN Francisco, July 23.-The Crane
Jury submitted its final report to-day
after having been hearing evidence since
last December. The report urges the
need of new city charter and al
amended election law to prevent fraut
at the polls. The report says that the
San Francisco elections are controlled tc
a great extent by league of from twelve
to fifteen hundred of the criminal ele
ment. The report is severe in its com.
ments upon the methods and records Of
the local police courts.
In the matter of canvassing the ad,
vance election returns, the jurors recon-
mended to the next Legislature, for the
prevention of frauds, an am endment of
Section 1857 of the Political Code, as
follows: That the ballots be placed in
piles according to the respective
political parties; that the Judges
count the tickets of each party,
the scratches of each name, and the
times each name is written upon the op-
posing party ticket; that the ballot be
then replaced in the ballot-box that the
figures thus obtained be given to the pub.
lie, after which the regular count may
proceed without any attempt on the part
of the election officers to figure out the
results. Such course would not only
prevent fraud, but give speedy and relia-
BILE advance returns.
The jurors deplore prize.fght exhibi-
tions in club rooIcs and elsewhere, as
well as the fact that many respectable
citizens give such events substantial
assistance. thereby ending in educating
men and boys to a low standard.
Speaking of Chinatown, the report
says: Its gambling dens, its brothels
and its opium joints flourish in spite of
our police, and its inhabitants live in
foul kennels, which stife the visitor with
their unbearable stenches. The Chinese
have complete system by which they
notify those following illegal occupations
of the action Of the courts and approach
of the police. This vile spot should Ser
iously engage the attention of the Board
of Health.

completed her trial trip. She is the
largest passenger ship in the world. being
fourteen feet longer than the City Of

anticipated that she will reduce
the Atlantic voyage to little
over six days. She was tried
for speed at short intervals several times,
and each time made twenty-five miles
per hour, under limited propulsion. The
allowed speed will be diminished to the
extent of only one-fourth the maximum.
