Paipabe efforts were made to conceal the fact
that the Democratic demonstration at the Cooper
Union last night was not Tammany affair
Ex-president Cleveland presided, Iammany
men were made inconspicuous among the vice
presidents, and no representative OF the wig
wan had a prominent place anywhere. Even
the candidates on the Tammany- made ticket
were notable by their absence. Mr.. Cleveland
steered clear of trouble by combining his remarks
to NatiOnai topics. Governor Hill, who was
greeted with perhaps trite less enthusiasm
than the ex-president, dwelt with especial
feryor ON the Worlds Fair question, accused
Mr. Fassett Of unnumbeIed offences, and at
tempted to answer the latters severe arraign-
ment of Democratic misgovernment. The whole
of his long speech showed that the Democrats
are on the defensive this year as rarely before.
The Joint debate between Major Mckinley and
Governor Campbell occurred in a small and
out-of- the-way place. Nevertheless, a crowd Of
some G. 900 people collected to hear them. De-
corum characterized the proceedings throughout
Governor Campbell had the advantage of the
first and last word, but Major Mckinley had
decidedly the better of the argument. In
fact. while his opponent did his full share of
the talking, there was little solidit. or substance
in what he said. On one of the cardinal ques-
lions in Ohio-that Of free coinage-he main
tained absolute silence, and on the tariff Ques-

The public will be justified in expecting great
things of Mr.. EdisOn's latest announced invention,
new electric motor for street cars. If successful,
this system will be a boon Of large proportions,
for it will do away with the trolley, which IS
thus far the only method of applying electricity
TO street-car propulsion that can be operated
economically. The storage system has been fail

Compared with years when Mayor and other
CITY officials are chosen the local campaign this
year is of minor importance. Several places on
the bench Of the Supreme, Superior, Common
Pleas and City courts are, however, to be filed
The Republicans held their County Convention
last evening, and nominated ticket that is
strong and unexceptionable in all particulars
Every effort should be put forth to elect it,
At this time it is the obvious duty of all citizens
who do their own thinking to work jealousy
for the curtailment of Tammany's power in this
city. Every vote for the Republican county
ticket will be vote against Tammany.

1t is claimed in the Democratic press and
speeches that Grant, Croker &; Co. have reduced
the tax rate-last year I.yT-Io' f'OviIinS -
more fallacious, and how any taxpayer or rent
payer can swallow this is a surprise. 1t is well
known to all that the increase in new buildings
throughout this city would of itself greatly III
crease the taxable property and afford opportunity
to reduce rates, but it is equally well known
fact that the values of property all over the city
have been raised, and where, even last year. as an
instance, man paid say S1S7 for tax on mouse
based on the then rate of 1.97, this year, on the
basis of the 100 rate, he pays about $3.50, con-
sequent upon the increased value put upon his
house by orders of Grant, Croker Il Co. So that
while they seek to make the uniformed believe
they are reducing taxes and point to the rate and
say figures don't lie, and lead the workingmen to
infer their rents-thanks 10 Croker economy
should be reduced, it is quite the contrary. Any
person examining the tax rolls for the past two
or three years will find an alarming increase in
the assessed value, but no increased return to the
owner or benefit to the public.

The railroad company has put on a col

between A iameda and Oakland Formerly
many persons ESCAPED payment of fare
owing to the shOrtnesS of time, especially on
the early morning and crowded evening
trains.
City Marshal Rogers does not thiak that
;here is anything IN the theory that young
BettecGrn, who was found dead a few nights
ago, at the curve near Mastick Station, was
murdered. Just before he took the train he
had some words with q cOlOred man, and
the theory has been advanced that the
cOlOred man followed aud threw him from
the train. What gave rise to this theory
was that the cOlored man has not been seen
since BettecOrn was killed. It's known that
when BettecOTn boarded the train at Park
street he intended to go to Willow-street
Station, but was carried beyond this station.
City Marshal Rogers says lie can see no evil
dence Of any foul play.

for a franchise to construct and operate an
electric road on Santa Clara avenue, from
Versailles to High street. and thence
nOrtherly to the city limits. Santa Clara
avenue is not opened at this point, but pro-
ceedings have been commenced to extend it
to High street. An ordinance was intro
duced granting a franchise to the Western
Union Telegraph Company to maintain
their poles and wires in this city. The
company is operating without franchise.
