Assembly district, swore to expenses Of
thirty.two cents. Ono candidate for Mayor
OF New York put hls disbursements st forty
Ave cents. A candidate for Congress In the
Tenth district put his expenses at fifteen
cents. Some exceptions to this rule
were found. it is tru9 but. gener-
ally speaking. the statements were
misleading. and they defested the purposes
Of the law. Candidates kept within the
letter Of the statute by declaring what they
had expended individually. ignoring what
organizations had expended In their behalf:
and In some cases they defeated the
law by Jumping their disbursements.

gftimate and necessary expenses" At last

Tho Tariff.


We ahould suppose that a fAr-minded free

these words Of Major McKNnET:
"tam eenvinced that the judgment OF ouf siti,ans
does not approve shs constant agitation Of the tariff
isus IN the faeo Of the tAot that can accomplish
nothing. It must surely Be apparent TO all AiAs that
the conditions wtthous which snsetive legislation is
impossible DO not exist. Ths Republican Senate and
AepubuaAA President sre bulwasks against which fes
tzAds forues dash powsfless and with no Immediate
prospect Of change In these conditions the only
suit Of continued agitation 10 to disturb buSnss Aid
rstsrd enterprises which the new law dsssns to

Nothing In the way Of tariff legislation
can be accomplished by tho Democrats un.
til they have the Presidency and the Senate:
and the returns from Ohio indicate that
they are not likely to win the Presidency
and the Senate by agitating the tariff ques-
ton. The tariff. as an issue. is useless, 30
far as practical result in legislation Is con-
cerned. For the present the Democrats
might just as well discuss the laws Of gravi-
tation as tho MCKINLEY bill.
The Fifty-second Congress can injure tho
chances Of their party In 1897 by advancing
to an attack upon the tariff question. but
they can do nothing to bring about read
justment, and until the workings Of the Law
Of 1890 are thoroughly understood there
will be no basis for q new settlement. The
country will not follow the tariff smashers
in leap into the dark.
One doesn't need to be o protectionist 10

tage Of situation and logic is with Major

ode, and was approved by Governor HILL
April {. 1890. are as follows:

These certificates are to be filed by candi-
dates for State. Congress. and Legislative
scloe with the Secretary OF State In Albany:
by city. county. or township candidates.
with their respective city, county. or town.
shiI clerks. and by candidates for public
slfles In this city. with the County Clerk.
A failure to comply with the provisions OF
the law imposes upon the candidate con-
victed OF violating 1t Imprisonment In
county jal for not less than three months
nor more than ono year. When person is
convicted Of conspiracy to buy votes he
shall. In addition to the punishment pre-
scribed, forfeit the offlee to which he may
have been elected; and lie shall. In ad-
dltlon. be excluded from the right OF suf-

Any candidate for Office who refuses or
neglects to file the sworn statement pre-
scribed by the act shall he deemed guilty Of
q misdemeanor. punishable as above pre-
seribed. and shall also forfeit his Office.
These provisions are based upon those
governing Parliamentary elections In Great
lsritain. but they seem to be without bene-
ficial or correctiye effect here. a. was shown

In tho group Of delicately nnrtufed cit-
zens who have been manpuvring In and out
Of the Democratic party In the train OF Gro
YER CLEVELAND. tho most obtrusive char
acteristic has been the Unsuitable longing to
create contempt for the Democratic party.
The mugwump road has led the feet Of its
wayfarers over every idea upon which they
first declared themselves independent In
politics, with the exception Of their feeling
Of aversion to the Democracy and Of their
desire for It's humiliation In the public
mind. Since the beginning Of their
epoch their ono thought In getting within
the Democratic lines has been to wipe out
all record Of Democratic achievement and 10
credit every party triumph to their peculiar
saint. They have been as voracouS tor the
fruits Of Democratic labors ss their source
Of inspiration has been for Presidential
nominations. They have been ever ready
to plunder the camps Of victorious Demo-
Gratis and to carry tho spoils to the shrine
Of the Stuffed Prophet. as Hindoo fanat-
les would lay the proceeds Of pillaged
province at tho feet Of some rotund and
cherished buddha. Whether they have
stopped at home in worship Of their Idol
or ventured into the conflict and on what
ever side Of it. they would lodge the first
claim to its fruits.
At present the Mugwumps howl for graft
tude to Mr.. CLEVELAND for the phenomenal
strength developed by Mr.. FLOWER in
the rural regions Of New Yurk. Last year
when the Democracy, staggering under the
despotism Of the Billion Congress, were led
by that wise. indomitable. and devoted
Democrat. ARTHUR PuE GoRMAN. ably and
unflinchingly seconded by RoswKLn P.
FLOWER, to q struggle that terminated In
bewildering success. tho Mugwumps came
forward with the same fanatical slander OF
the men and leaders who had fought the
fight, and swore that it was the work
Of themselves and CLEVELAND. II the con-
test Of that year had happened to be con-
fined to the insidious effort in this city to
overthrow the Democratic Government. we
should have doubtless listened to similar
assertion that the ponderous seli-seeker.
who lay hidden beneath the Democratic
cohorts Of his friends. was the cause OF
electlng HUGH j. GRANT. Not the Demo-
Gratis but tho great Mugwump must have
the credit for Democratic glories. past or
present. The Democrats arc nothing and
deserve nothing.
The Democratic party has endured since
THOMAS JEFFERSON. 1t has had a splendid
history and elected Presidents in the face of
appalling difficulties. Oflate years it elected
Mr.. TMDEN President in the most inspir-
ing political campaign since the choice Of
ABRAHAM LINCOLN. 1t has achieved in
Vulnerable triumphs by the power Of its
own loyal members and Of its organization
and principles. But there has been one
effort beyond its strength: It was power
less to reglect GROVER CLEVELAND.
