THE Arkansas election has given another
instance Of the remarkable adaptability of the
Southern Caucasian to all the exigencies Of
elf-government.-New York Graphic dem. J
So, The stealing of ballot-boxes, we pre-
sumo, is an evidence Of the "adaptability of
Southern Caucasians." Here is a special,
sent from Arkansas to the New York Herald,
which may be submitted as additional evil
dence:
ain Crittenden county. from which the Re-
publican negro officials were driven recently
because Of their insolence and abuse of the
whites. a majority of 1000 is reported for the
Democrats. Several other negro counties
have come up the same way. The cause is that
the people will not tolerate the insolent negro
domination, and employ such means to pre-
vent it as the ends will Justify. No further
t.ouble has been reported"
There can be no doubt of '.the adaptability
of the Southern Caucasian" The Graphic,
one Of the subsidized organs of the Demo-
cratic national party, evidently correctly I'M
derstands the solid South.

AT the anti-Hill Democratic mass meeting,
in New York city. Henry George was one Of
the speakers. The New York World reports
him as saying:

the Democratic principle, and for that reason
do not propose to cast,my ballot for David

then paid his respects to Tree trade"
Another report says:

elevated the Democratic standard against the
robber and fraud. protection

aid Miss Anna Dickinson will come to Indi-
ana this week and make number Of speeches
for the party which she served so well in its
earlier history. She is reported to be enthusi-
astic in support of the principles for which
the Republicans are fighting, and if she speaks
with anything approaching her old-time elo-
quence and force she will win many votes.
Never since the war have women taken such
an active interest in a political campaign, and
as the most intelligent and gifted among them
ally themselves with the party that has
espoused the cause of the home and the
laborer, the result is not difficult to predict.

1851. It is hardly to be expected that the
Republican majority in the Septem-
Der election this year will equal that

for President, and his exceptional popularity
in his own State contributed to swelling the
Republican majority in September as starter
for November. 1t would not be surprising if

MR.. CLEVgLAND's LETTER.

Mr.. Clevelands letter is mere harangue.
1t is demagogical in conception, deceptive in
statement, fallacious in argument, and ut
terly beneath the dignity which should char
acterze even the partisan utterances of a man
believed worthy to be the President of the
United States We do not care to follow it
in detail this morning, but merely to
refer to it in bulk, confident that
the estimate of the people Of the
country ~ill be in harmony with the brief
opinion we have here expressed. 1t is mere
rehash and tumble of the views he has hith-
erto expressed on the tariff, containing all the
exploded nonsense and humbug, such as that
the duty increases the cost of both imported
and domestic articles by the full amount of
the tariff, of which even Grover Cleveland
should, by this time. be heartily ashamed.
The letter is both brash and apologetic. It
is brash in still adhering to the Mills bill as
the sum of all craftsmanship, and it is apollo
getic in the labored effort it makes to avert
ranks by the repeated assertions that no free
trade assault upon the industrial system is
intended. And vet, if Mr.. Cleveland's argu-
ment means anything at ALL it is that working
men would be bettered by an absolute removal
of tariff duties, while he comedies that the Mills
bill is step toward 'the interchange OF pro-
auctions" which would be the ideal indus
trial and commercial condition. Mr.. Cleve-
land states the surplus to be $3.50, 900. 900.
and says that the revenues are 50 large that,
if the present surplus were reduced, an
other would soon accumulate; but he fails to
indicate what the excess Of revenue really is,
or to throw any light on the interesting state
ment of his United States Treasurer, Mr..
Hyatt, that "there is no surplus"
The illusions in the letter to the soldiers
and sailors Of the Union, to civilservice
reform, and the Pecksnifian cant as to his
own administration, had better been omitted.
Their presence is an offense to the common
sense and intelligence If the country, which
has been Disguised with his tuppenny, flip
pant vetoes of pension bills and the wholesale
prostitution and inefficiency Of the entire
civil service. The absence from the letter Of
any allusion to the views on the danger Of
second term, entertained by Mr..
Cleveland in 1884. is very marked.
but in view of his contribution Of
ten thousand dollars to aid in his own re-elec-
ton. the omission is at least grateful to pub
lie decency. The letter is a mere stump
speech; bit of very cheap hastings oratory;
ward politicians cunning bid for retention
Of power; cheap mans effort to hoodwink
the people by pulling free wool over their
eyes. If il does not prove to be disappoint-
ment to the country, and to his own party,
we shall be greatly mistaken.
