PAST ELECTION PRECEDENTs

OF the eleven Presidents who stood for
Adams, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van
Buren, and Grover Cleveland. Singularly
enough, two Of them were favorite sons of
Massachusetts and two of them favorite sons
of New York, and all of them were defeated
by the peculiar Vaccinations Of New York
politics.
In 1900 Alexander Hamilton undertook
TO defeat John Adams for the first place on
the ticket, though he did not wish to defeat
the ticket ITSELF He simply tried the i'm
possible task OF bringing in c. G. Pinkney,
| Adams running mate, one or two electoral
votes ahead, SO that Pinkney would become
| President and Adams Vice President. His
intrigue was discovered before the election,
Pinkney were defeated by jefferson and
Burr. In 1928, when John Quincy Adams
ran second time, New York defeated him
mainly through the work of Martin Van
Buren, and the Albany Regency.
Again, in 1910, when Van Buren, himself
came up for reelection, the party divisions
in New York, and the report of them that
spread throughout the country, did more to
defeat him than all the "noise and nom
sense" engendered by the clamor about
"Tippecanoe and Tyler too" The Demo-
cratic party was split in two parts, named
severally "Hankers" and "Barnburners."
This division enabled Seward to carry the
State for Governor in 1889 and led to such
an organization of the Wing party that it
carried all before it in 1910.
Coming now TO 1888, it appears that the
Democrats in New York city were inter-
ested in the spoils office-they held on to the
good old doctrine that to "the victors be-
louged the spoils"-and which Grover Cleve-
land absolutely ignored. The election of
Grant as Mayor could give Tammany Hall
$50,000000 of patronage, while the election
of Cleveland would give them none.
There is very little question that Tam
many has always secretly opposed Cleve.
land simply ON the ground that he did not
dispense the offices inside of the party which
elected him-John Kelley as much as said
so when Cleveland was first spoken of for
| President. He has now been defeated, and
the clock OF civil service reform will stand
still for four years at least.

DET'EO7TVE SCIENCE.

Mar is a hunting animal, and there is no
prey he follows with such relentlessness as
his fellow man. The pursuit of Jean Vatican
by Javert has many counterparts in actual
life, though they do not always present so
many dramatic situations or come to such
tragical ends.
Detective science has reached very
much higher plane in France than in any
other country. 1t is there made more of
study, and perhaps the power of the agents
of the police, and of official persons in police
authority gives them advantages the Ameri-
can and English detectives do not possess
1t is to be confessed, however, that the pri-
vate Jail Of the Pinkertons. and the "sweat
box" Of the police station, are great strides
toward the French system of personal ex-
animation Of suspected persons which the
common law has never sanctioned.
1t is in running down the criminal where
the French detectives excel, and it is safe to
say that such n series of crimes in one par.
ticular place, like those of Whitechapel,
London, and which have recently been re-
peatcd, could not have occurred in the
French metropolis. These crimes have
been committed from some bizarre motive,
which sooner or later must lead TO their de-
lection, but which ought to have been ar
rived at before SO many murders had been
committed. John Bull is somewhat slow
and fat in his wits, and 1t might not be q
bad thing for him to study the novels of
Gaboriau, for, although they are fiction, they
are fiction with all the ruth and detail of
fact. An eminent English judge recon.
mended young lawyer, DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning an insight into French law and
practice, To study only these novels. Gabo-
riau had the faculty of imagining all the cir
cumstances of a great crime, and of tracing
up the obscure clues that eventually lead TO
the perpetrator He has written many nov.
els, the plan of which is substantially the same
in all. A crime is committed under mysteri.
GUS circumstances, and one portion of the
book is devoted to detecting its author and
proving the innocence of those who are
wrongly accused; while the second portion
details the circumstances which led to its
commission.
These novels reveal a remarkable insight
US 10 methods OF following clues and max
ing deductions from slight but convincing
circumstances. American detectives may
well study them, for they will train the
powers of observation, and at the same time
direct the mind to the proper methods of
inquiry. They will not. of course, make
detectives any more than reading Robinson
Crusoe will make sailors, but they will
afford many hint when actual detective
work is in hand.

LET US GO TO WORK.

Now that it is known who is elected, and
the demonstrations over the same have been
concluded. let every citizen of our good old
Democratic county go to work. Make up
for lost time. If you are merchant, push
things. Ii you are lawyer, attend to your
profession. II you are engaged in manu-
featuring of any kind, make strong effort
to extend your business. II you are CON
tractor, make use OF this beautiful weather
and get ready to double your business next
year. Ii you are a builder, bear in mind
that you have little time left in which 10 do
outside work, and don't allow moment to
go to waste. If you are mechanic, try
and make up for tho time you have lost in
talking politics and attending political meet
ings II you are a laborer, remember that
winters billiards will soon interrupt great
many kinds of work, and lose no oppor-
tunty to prepare yourself for the Indictment
season. If You are farmer, get in your
corn fodder and fix up your COW and sheep
sheds. Go to work. We have all lost II
great deal of time lately, and it is incumb-
ent upon all of us to make up for it.
Necessarily Presidential elections reduce
the volume of business Of the whole coun-
try, and the one just closed has sensibly al
fected all parts of the country. II we have
lost, we can by strong pull and in very
short time make up for it-so we say to all,
go to work.

At Washington movements have already
been started for the revival of the State Re
publican Associations which quietly went
out of existence on the incoming of the
Cleveland administration. The bulk of the
membership Of these associations consisted
OF department clerks and employees. They
kept quiet until after the election, which
was the only acknowledgment they could
make To Mr.. Cleveland for his kindness in
keeping them in Office, but now his sun has
set it is different. In very few weeks all
these State Associations which have been
ALTERNATING for four years will bosso into
vigorous life.
