have common object. the ejectment Of
their age-iong enemy. the irreclaimable
Turk. from Europe. Unfortunately. they
find IL difficult to unite for this purpose.
and their union is thwarted rather than
furthered by the jealousy and self-seeking
Of their ovcrshndowing neighbors. Russia
and the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. A
partial combination between Greece. Ser
via. and Montenegro might be practicable.
but coalition between them and either
Bulgaria or Roumania seems out OF the
question. There is reason to fear that Bull
garia and Servia are even more swayed by
hatred OF each other than by the desire to
liberate their countrymen still enslaved by
the Ottoman. They may. therefore. con-
sent to DO made catspaws. the one OF HAPs-
BURG greed and tho other OF Muscovite am
bition. At any hour the late-won indepen-
dence Of the southeastern peoples may be
shattered In tho collision between tho two
great aspirants for ascendancy in the Bal
kan peninsula.
Prof. FREEMAN does not fall to point out
that Englishmen owe duty to both the
liberated and tho still enslaved lands OF
southeastern Europe. They have bound
the Turk by promises which he has failed
to fulfil. He has pledged himself to mend
his ways in Armenia and Macedonia. but he
has not mended them. Even II the other
powers refuse cooperation. 1t would be spe-
cially becoming in England to insist upon
the sultan's strict fulfllment Of his treaty
obligations.
Meanwhile. Prof. FREEMAN dwells with
emphasis on the difference Of tho parts
played Of late years in southeastern Eu-
rope by the respective heads OF the Con-
servative and Liberal parties. There Is. wc
arc reminded. one English statesman who
can boast that he found some thousands OF
European and Christian people just set free
from the barbarian yoke. and that he helped
to thrust them back under it. On tho banks
OF the vardar may be heard denounced
with bitterness tho name OF Lord SALIs-
BURY. betrayor OF Macedonia. There is
another English statesman who can say
that he found somo thousands OF Euro
pean and Christian people with the yoke OF
the barbarian still about their necks. and
that he. unaided. against all opposition. set
them free. On the banks Of tho Pencios may
be heard blessings invoked upon the name
Of Mr.. GLADSTONE. deliverer Of Thessaly.

The Enemies of the City.

How big is the Democratic majority in
this town going to be? 1t ought to be the
biggest on record.
There is one plain issue for the voters Of
New York city. Every vote for FAssErr is
a vote for the enemies OF the city. 1t is n
vote to reward them for their opposition
to the development Of the city and to in
crease their power Of annoying and their
opportunity OF plundering IL.
Every vote for FLOWER is vote for tho
prosperity of New York. The instinct OF
self-preservation prompts tho city to de-
fend herself against her enemies. That is
why the Democratic majority will be a
great one.
This is a contest OF New York and anti
New York; and New York will win.

New Workers for New York.

Mr.. THOMAS C. PLATr has issued a pre-
diction that the Democratic majority In this
town cannot exceed $1,000. Mr.. PLATT does
injustice to his own unpopulaity In plac-
ing any limit to the majority which New
York will register against him tomorrow.
He forgets tho long score that is to be set
tied. For years he has committed the Re-
publican party Of this State to policy OF
hostility to the prosperity Of this city. The
diversion Of the Worlds Fair to Chicago is
only the greatest Of the injuries he has in
fiicted upon New York. This year he comes
before the people under the pseudonyme OF
JACOB SLoAr FAssErr. and his platform is
continuous lie about the government OF
this town. Not content with robblng and
maltreating New York. he tries to swear
away her character. With all these titles
to the contempt Of this community. he is
unwise to make q guess as to the weight
with which it will fall on him. There has
never been such a beautiful opportunity to
get at him. and he may be sure that 1t will
be used to the fullest extent.
Mr.. PLATT has made the mistake Of think
ing that because New York Is SO big its in
habitants are without public spirit. He
has made the additional mistake OF think
ing that because 1t is rich 1t does not bear
resentment for the money that has been
diverted from it and the restrictions that
have been laid upon Its growth by him and
his led captains in the Legislature. He has
injured New York In its pride and In its
pocket. and New York will settle with him
at the polls tomorrow.
Mr.. P1Arr and his dummy have done
their best to hamper New York and fatten
Chicago. The citizens Of New York will
vote for the protection Of their own inter-
ests and the honor and advancement Of
their own city against the man that has
been its enemy consistently: and they will
give a majority against him which will
convince him that they mean to govern
themselves without dictation from Owego.
