THE evening Republican organ is
pleading with tears in it's eyes to the
temperance people to stay in the Repub-
lican party as the sheet anchor of the
cause. Let us see. Was not the senior
editor of the organ one Of the California
delegates to the Republican Convention
at Chicago? Did not the Springfield
Republican, say the California delegation
boasted that they took intoxicating
beverages enough to that Temperance
gathering" at Chicago to keep all the
delegates from all the States drunk for
a week? Did not the editor of the organ
aid in the promulgation-perhaps in the
framing-of the platform of that Con-
vention which is 80 positive in it's de-
claration for free whiskey as against free
salt? 1t will not do. The Cold Water
people have been too often cheated by
these hypocritical professions of temper.

How They Lay xhem out.

The Republican party has backed and
filled upon the tariff reform issue so
much that its attitude Of one day re-
Dukes its attitude OF another. In 1872
Senators Dawes and Blaine were the
fathers Of 10 per cent. horizontal reduc-
ton measure. That measure lasted till
1875, when the screw under the hori-
zontal beam was turned and the tariff
was again raised to its present
a,titudinous height. A few years
afterwards Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois, in
troduced precisely similar measure,
With the exception that the reduction
was only about seven per cent. But as
Mr.. Morrison was a Democrat, there
we're no words too severe to apply to his
horizontal bill. So violent was the de-
nunciation of this measure and it's au-
thor that the party Of the monopolists
succeeded in retiring Mr.. Morrison from
public life. 1t made all the difference in
the world whether horizontal tariff bill
was offered by Mr.. Blaine, Republi-
can, or by Mr.. Morrison, Democrat.
We may perhaps wonder why Mr..
Morrison was remanded to private life.
1t is susceptible of explanation. The
class who are made millionaires by the
tariff have organized what they call an
American Protective League, with one
thousand members who subscribe 500
or more year for it's support as an
educational organization. (?) LIE
Grand B. Cannon is a big gun of this
League, and he said this of it's plans to
leading New York Protectionist paper
a short time ago.

rogations to every man that is nomi.
mated. If he refuses to answer them, Oh
cannot answer them satisfactory. que pro.
pose to lay hSms owt! Party politics will
not enter into the question at all. 1t will
simply be question of protective tariff
or not"
i An educational organization Of that
character would ''lay out" any candidate
for Congress in close district. But al
such educational trusts, like dogs, car
only have their day.

BUSINESS men in all parts of the Union
are looking at the election in this way
Mr.. Cleveland has made wise, conserv-
alive and safe President. Under bis
administration business has been better
than it was under that of any previous
President in many years. During the
campaign which is rapidly drawing to
an end, there has been less interruption
to business than has been known in a
quarter of century under similar circum-
stances. 1.-The is reelected, the business Of
the country will start right up into full
vigor in day. But if Mr.. Harrison is
elected he will be an unknown quantity.
1t will be difficult to say what will be the
tenor OF his administration. That can
only be known by a trial. 1t will be a
full year before this can be known.
Business always goes for its own interest,
and therefore it will vote for known il
preference to the unknown quantity all
the time.

THE San Francisco Chronicle. which at

THE San Francisco Chronicle, which at
the opening Of the campaign so loudly
announced that Harrison could not be
elected because of his Chinese record,
now at its close makes fine reputation
for itself by the statement that Harrison
will carry the State by sixteen thousand
plurality. That is the report comes over
the wires to that effect. For the sake of
our esteemed contemporaries reputation
as prophet We hope there are about thres
yphers incorrectly added to the figures. It
is beyond dispute that Dave Mcclure, a
well informed but sanguine Republican
leader, comedies San Francisco to the
Democracy by two thousand five hum
dred plurality. If our party only barely
carries San Francisco, it is difficult for
reasonable people to figure out much Re-
publican plurality outside that city.

The day is near at hand when the
independent" voter will sally forth to
exercise the inestimable privilege of free
suffrage. If votes are worth fiver, in
stead of wo-and-a. half, 80 much the
better for him. The ''scratcher" will 90
along with the voter. Have you heard
the story? "Oh, pa, I heard you talk
ing this morning about scratching the
ticket. Is the ticket itchy?" "No, my
son, but the palm that holds it is."
There is no danger that single Demo.
cratic voter will join the ranks of the
independents; and see to it that not a
single Democrat shall scratch name on
the regular ticket. The Republicans
will do the needful OF that kind of work
and other trickery. They have got to
have that woodchuck, Sunday or no
Sunday, if the minister shall have his
dinner. But they won't.

COMPLETED and exact returns from the
Brooklyn registration are full of cheer
for Mr.. Cleveland. There was an in.
crease in the registration over 1884 oil
2S, 900, and only $40 of the increase was
in the wards which Blaine carried. All
the rest OF the increase was in Demo
cratic wards. This looks as if Mr..
Cleveland would have a majority in
Kings county of over 2l,500. OF the
total increase in registration, 400 came
from foreign-born citizens recently natur-
allied, and a poll of them showed that
Mr.. Cleveland would get more than six
tenths of their vote. With, perhaps, sew
enty thousand plurality in New York
City, this sends Cleveland to the
Bridge" in the lead by ninety thousand
votee. The Empire State will elect her
favorite son this time by plurality of
from ten thousand to twenty thousand.

CHICAGO FRAUDS.
Underwood should Investigate New
York COIOniZers.

York Colonizers.
CHICAGO, November 2.-It is claimed
that startling frauds have been un-
covered in connection with the natural
ization of large number of Italians in
the Cook county courts during the past
two months. Attorney Underwood, who
has been Investigating the matter, swore
out late this afternoon thirty one war
rants for perjury against William
Walker. Mr.. Underwood said to q
reporter this evening that he was
employed by the republican County
Central Committee to look into the
the matter, but that he had prosecuted
regardless Of party interests. Attention
was attracted to the matter first by the
information that Walker was swearing in
nearly all the Italians who endeavored
to take out papers. Mr.. Underwood
says the investigation has shown that
not only has Walker sworn in Italians
not entitled to naturalization, but also
that fictitious names have been used.
Out of thirty-one newly-created citizens
named in the warrants sworn out to-day,
the Investigators have been unable TO
find but one, and he has lived here only
one year. The other thirty were not
known by the addresses given by them
| in court.

GENERAL VANDEvER, in speaking at
the wigwam last night, complained that
the Republican party had been branded
as free whisky party" because few
men in it favor the removal Of the inter-
nal revenue tax from spirits. Here is
another orator of the party running away
from its platform. The National Con-
vention at Chicago said it would be better
to remove the whole internal revenue
tax which is levied only on spirits and
tobacco, than to touch one cent OF the
protective duties levied on imported
goods" such as salt, clothing, blankets
and other necessaries of life. Is this q
few men of the party?

BUFFALO, November 2.-An evening

Catholic. At meeting here tonight,

President Of the Irish National League.
he read the following dispatch received
in response to telegram which had been
sent to the President by his friend VIII
son s. Bissel:
am much surprised that at this late
day any person in Buffalo should make
the accusation you quote, or anv news
paper publisher should give currency to
such q lie, which was promptly denied
when first started some years ago, and
the utter absurdity Of which was proven
by the support of my Irish faiends in the
canvass then pending. 1 emphatically

ment that such reckless mendacity

Blaine arrived this afternoon and spoke
briefly to an audience of $500. He re.
ferred to protection by reminding the
Republicans of Connecticut that il
Ahey did not protect themselves
they must not expect other portions Of
the country to do it for them. He re-
ferred to the deposit OF money in the Ma
tional banks by Secretary Fairchild, and
touched slightly upon the Sackville incl
dent. After his speech he lett for Derby.
At Derby, Mr.. Blaine and party were
escorted to the residence OF Thomas
Wallace, where lunch was served. The
party was then driven to the trotting
park, where ten thousand persons
gathered, and gave Blaine an enthusiast
tic reception.
In his address be alluded to the bene.
fits Of protection to New England, and
urged the people to vote for Harrison
and Morton if they wished their pros
perity to continue. He said the good
times during Cleveland's administration
were not due to the President but to the
Republican Senate. After his speech,
Mr.. Blaine started for New York.

THE reform tariff policy Of the Demo.
cratic party is assailed as blow against
the wages Of labor. They tell you that
the high tariff enables the protected in
dustries to pay high wages. No doubt
it enables them to do 30, but they don't
do it. The average wages Of men work.
ing in the unprotected industries is at
least 20 per cent. above those paid in the
protected industries. The iron and
coal miners of sPennsylvania are
the poorest paid workers in the
country. From sixty to ninety cents
per day are the ruling wages of those
men. Not only are they kept down to
this starvation stipend, but the mines
are periodically shut down by their
owners so as to keep the supply 80 near
the demand that the prices may be held
ct the highest notch. Thus the men are
not only miserably paid but their time is
reduced. To meet strikes the companies

INDIANAPOLIS, November "A warm
and continuous rain fell here throughout
the day, making one of the most dis
agreeable days of the campaign. Gen.
eral Harrison passed the time at home.
He was the recipient of unique gift in
the shape of big jack-rabbit, which
came by express from Washington, Kan.
The box was covered on three sides with
American flags, while the top was
hidden by countless tags and stamps put
on by express agents with their greetings
to the General. Accompanying the box
was letter from the three youthful
donors, which read as follows
GENERAL HARRIsoN-We are little
boys, only II, and 6 years old, and
can't vote for you, but we want you
elected, and we send you a rabbit for
luck. Somebody sent Mr.. Cleveland a
rabbits foot in 1884 and he was elected.

Our evening contemporary is much

Our evening contemporary is much
exercised over the fact that Marshal
Risley has appointed his deputies for the
coming election out of the Democratic
rank and file. It will be interesting for
our evening star-gszer to know that the
provision of the United States statute
known as The Elective Franchise, pro-
viding for United States Supervisors and
Marshals at Presidential elections, was
formulated and passed by an almost
wholly Republican Congress in 1862. 1t
has been charged that this Republican
measure was conceived and intended as
a party arm to strengthen the cause and
in mild way to terrorize voters in the
South and in the States where Demo
Gratis we're largely in excess. What
ever benefits there were in the system
for the Republicans they received for
full period Of twenty-five years. Marshal
Risley stated in his instructions to his
Deputies last night that he had appointed
Democrats because he believed that they
would make better officers of election,
and that their presence at the polls
would ensure fair and honest count.
He followed the law and the precedents
in the case to the letter. The Supervisors
are half Democrats and half Repub-
licans, as the law provides. The law
does not make any political party quail
6cation for the Marshals. Republicans
in all cases appointed their party ad-
herents to this Office. Major Risley does
the same. What are you going to do

CALIFORNIA, Of all other states. ought
to favor a reform OF the tariff. We are
essentially an agricultural community
Two-thirds Of our grain production is sold
abroad, and it's price is regulated by
English quotations. The tariff only pro-
tects US in our fruit and wines. Yet we
are compelled to pay tax OF 47.10 pei
cent. upon the agricultural impli-
ments we use and upon the
the clothes We wear for the benefit oi
Eastern protected industries. Let us
put this proposition to every unprotected
farmer: 1t costs you say 81 900 every
year for agricultural implements for your
farm, lumber for your barns, and clothes
for your family. Out Of that 81 ,00O
$471 goes to swell the profits of protected
manufacturers. Would not that sum, OF
. portion Of it, jingle more sweetly in
your own pockets than in those
Of the monopolists, to whom it
is arbitrarily transferred by the
operation Of the tariff tax ?
Would it not enable you to dress your
wife and your children better, and add
improvements to your house and your
harms that you cannot do now. There
are many ways in which you could bet
ter your condition with this $47l, not the
least of which perhaps would be the
ability it would give you to wipe out your
mortgages, and ct the end Of the yesr to
dnd little balance in your favor ins. cad

Voters Get Your Register Numbers.


Reports reach this Office that at the
late Charter election in one precinct in
this city twenty-five voters lost theil
votes, being told at the polls that they
were not on the Great Register. This
was in spite OF the fact that they had
previously voted at other elections since
the Great Register then in use had been
printed. At the election next Tuesday
similar tactics may be attempted. All
voters should be sure to consult the
Great Register at the polls before going
to vote. Let them get their register num-
Der as well as their names, and thus make
sure Of their votes. In getting a ballot
be sure you have the regular Democratic
ticket, and vote it straight. If all our
men make sure to vote we will carry
