Ath's Reply to Them.
Frequent complaints have been made that
sufficient interval does not cIapse between the
possage Of North Seattle and Cedar street cars 20
~ to give the residents Of that part Of the city
south Of the Intersection Of Front and Cedar
streets the benefit of the double service. It IL
urged that the Cedar street cars closely precede
or follow the North Seattle cars instead Of COM
ing midway between two North Seattle cars, n
would be more convenient to passengers.
In reference to these complaints /. H. Grtmth,
the general manager Of the electric railways,
the North Seattle cars twenty -four minutes 10
make the single trip. while the Cedar street cars
make 1t in twenty minutes North Seattle car
starts at $50 In the morning, and every twelve
minutes thereafter. while a Cedar street car
starts six minutes later. and gains eight minutes
every third trip Lake Union cars start three
minutes later, and run on even time with
North seattle cars. Fremont cars start three
minutes later still, and lose twelve minutes
on each round trip, running on thirty-minute
time each That ateruatcs them with every

The Democratic Outlook.

This is the exact number of elec- toral votes required to choose the next president The Democrats have 172 certain to start with-162 from the South and 10 from New Jersey. which is as safe Democratic state as there is in the union.
 This leaves but 5l votes to gain to elect the Democratic candidate. New York's 36 and Indiana's l5 would just make the requisite 22S-
 President Harrison carried his own state in 1888 by a scratch-a bare plurality of ,300-through organized bribery and state pride. But a secret ballot law has rendered safe vote buy ing difficult Harrison has little popu- iarity left at home and the state has been steadily growing more surely Democratic. Last year the Democratic majority for congressman was 23. GOO and for secretary of state l9. 900. This year the local elections have shown large Democratic gains. The presi- dents own city of Indianapolis was carried against him by an astonishing vote. With an acceptable ticket h. diana will be safely Democratic next year.
 Can the Republicans carry New York? They lost it last year by 75. 900 on the tariff and other national issues and this year by near 50. 900 on state issues and the Tammany bugaboo The state is doubtful. but do not the chances favor the Democrats9
 Without looking to Iowa Montana. Michigan. Connecticut or Massachu- setts, it seems as though the Demo- crats had the better chance for the necessary 223 votes. IN. Y. World

 If Mir Tilden had had Hill's courage in 1876 he would have achieved the presidency. Mr Hill is a close stu dent and a keen observer.
