For tho Rule of the Majority.

Our esteemed contemporary and neighbor,
the Tribune, earnestly asks the New York
Republicans the question:
us WILLIAM NJ EvAn1s to DO succeeded in tho United
etates senate by q Republican or Democrat"
If our Republican friends wore as con-
cerned about known political fraud In the
North as they pretend to be about supposed
political fraud In the South, there could be
but one answer TO tho Iribune's question.
The successor of Mr. EvARTs would be u
Democrat. New York Is q Democratic State,
but in New York the State officers are elect
ed by majority or q plurality of the Legis-
lature rs chosen by the minority. The
cities, which arc Democratic territory.
hayo been growing rapidly and stead
ily. Tho rural Republican districts
have either been declining in population or
have made inConsidorable gains. A reap
portionment of the Senate districts and AS
semby districts would greatly add to the
Democratic representation in the Legisla-
turc. 1t would in all probability insure tho
election Of Democratic Legislature. There
fore the Republicans have for years refused
and will continue to refuse to provide for
such an enumeration OF the inhabitants Of
and for reapportionment based upon such
enumeration.
The Democrats OF New York will not en-
dure this gross injustice much longer II
they can help it, and this is a. very good
year for elccting a Democratic Legislature.
The Republican party Of New York is weak
and divided. Its feet are evil, and will be as
long as BENJAMIN HARRISON is President.
1t has played wretched double game in re-
gard to excise legislation. Its Representa-
tivcs in Congress have already succeeded in
alarming the business interests of New York
by extravagant legislation and by attempt
ing toraise Cain with business in the South.
there is a very bilious outlook
for the Republicans.
On the other hand, the New York Demo-
Gratis are in good condition, and they have
IN DAVID BENNETT Hill the most skilful
and successful OF living Democratic leaders.
The New York Democracy will make a reso-
lutte and manly effort to elect n Democratic
in Congress next winter, and re-
the rule Of the majority.

Portable As far as their names are known, none Of
them seek once 1t docs not involve the President in
any money making for his personal bsnent How
others may bs benefited does not concern u.s. II our
presence at Gaze May roInt will DO q benefit to any
persons they are welcome toit-"
And yet whilo Mrs HARRISON was ac-
knowledging In this straightforward fashion
her obligations to her benefactors, BENJAMIN
HARRISON wns monopolizing in silent dig
nifty the proud knowledge that he had paid
for the cottage, and that sooner or later the
American people would know the factl
This will not do. Tho third suppositon
about the cottage lacks fibre. Whether Gen.
HARRISON has paid $4,000 in name only, or
whether he has actually paid 5000 as con-
science money and confession Of error, or
whether he has not paid or pretended to pay
II red cent, the fact remains that for him this
is the costlicst piece Of real estate ever ac-
CURED by any President.

Tho National Gnme.

Our esteemed contemporary, the CONNER
cidl GascHe, puts question which suggests
nice distinction. IL asks:
Are the public losing interest in base ball Ramesr
Tho interest in the mere playing of the
game, its pitches, and thwacks, and stops
may be less or not less than last year, but
there has been tremendous loss OF public
attention disposab,e for its benefit none the
less. The trouble is that the heart Of the
great ppstime is for tho moment gone, cut
out by the effort of IA lew association of skill
and capital to drive the old and successful
organization off the professional field and
pick up all honor5 and profits left behind.
Solong rs such a tumultuous scramble Is
undecided, the great prize of the bah
field Is rot tho national championship,
but commercial success. The chief in
spratIOn Of the general public, tho love
Of a square fight for the championship,
Is used up by the rivalry Of the leagues; the
local prize in such great centres OF senti-
ment as New York. Boston, and Chicago Is
split to death by tho added antago-
nisms OF two hostile clubs in each city. The
next division in order, and, under the present
circumstances, sure, will be that of wages
for all concerned. IL requires immense
public support to keep them up to their
present or past notch, and down they must
come with less. IN one sense the new

This Is 1890.

For several hundred years In the Middle
Ages the able intelects OF Europe wero Mt
war over the question OF Nominaiism or
Realism. The Nomlnalists held that gen
eral ideas or notions, such as tho idea Of
man in the abstract, had no corresponding
reality and existed only as names or words.
The Reallsts contended for tho doctrine that
general terms or ideas had an actual exist
enoe as patterns or archctypes, independent
Of manifestations in concrete and Individual
form. This was the great Issue OF scholastic
philosophy and scholastic theology. The
dispute upset all Europe. disturbed the pub
lilo peace, split families, broke friendships,
divided communities. led to riots, wars, and
slaughter; and we may add that tho thrill
ing controversy has never been settled, and
never will be settled.
This is precisely tho case with the ever
lasting controversy over tho respective
theories OF protection and free trade The
question is not settled, but the Issue has as
much practical Importance to-day MS that
over which the Realists and the Numinalists
got themselves wrathful In the Middle Ages.
The transfer Of the surplus from the United
States Treasury to the Golfers OF sheol, tho
disappearance of the celebrated condition
that confronted us, the unexpected precip-
tation in American politics Of an issue real
and vital and involving the very life Of our
free institutions, have suddenly sent Protec-
ton and Free Trade to the metaphysical
Shadowland, whore Nominulism and Realism
are still tussling in ghostly fashion without
spectators or reporters.

COMPLAINING or COL oArLoh.
Some OF tho Forty-Seventh Regiment on
GERS Want Him to Resign.


Since Col Gaylor OF the Forty-seventh RegI-
ment in Brooklyn becamei ,oved In business
troubles few months ago he has not been
able to give much attention TO his military
duties. Considerable dissatisfaction has grown
up in consequence among the officers OF the
regiment and on Monday night q committee.
composed Of CaDts. Christof1it, SwaZey, and
Eddy, called at Brigade Headquarters and had
a long conference with Gem McLeer about the
alleged unsatisfactory condition OF the regi-
ment and the want Of harmony in the ranks 1t
Is understood that they told the General that
Col Gaylor was mainly to blame for this con-
dition OF affairs, and suggested that he should
be requested to resign.
1t is aso understood that Gen. McIeer told
the committee that he did not propose to do
anything Of the kind put that he would hold
opportunity to be hoard. Col. Gaylor has been
considered one Of the most official officers in
the National Guard, and until his recent
troubles occurred was extremely popular with
his men, The committee which waited on
Col Gaylor. 1t is said. does not represent
majority Of the officers
