falibly and forever removed from the doubtful

Kansas is sure to be lost by the Republicans,
il was stated yesterday. The reason gwen Is
that the combination of the Democrats and the
Alliance voters has 0,000 margin against inc
Republcans alone, judging from past elections
Two trhing facts are omitted. The flrst l.
that the Alliance has been deserted by many
Of its former leaders and voters. The second
;s that there were 10000 Republican votes,
moro or less. not polIed in the off years. But
what have rainbow chasers to do with such
ucly facts as these? Their occupation would
be forever gone if they were obliged to put
tho not of gold on the scales and get its exact
weight before the end of the rainbow had been
reached
New-York New-Jersey and Connecticut were
all gloriousy carried on paper, in yesterday
renort. That is the cheapest and surest way
of securing a Democratic majority In those
States. But the least hopeful of them for Re-
publicans is the State of NewJersey, and "The
New York Sum- takes pains to show that at the
last three Presidential elections the Repub-
Iicans had each time a plurality outside of
Hudson County, 1920 in 1883, 913 in 1884
ard 2.944 in 1880. But the Democratic plu-
ralitics in Hudson County, manufactured by
those processes which have landed dozens OF
active Democrats in the penitentiary Tor one
elections work, were s,169 in 1888, 5,325 In
1884 and 4954 in 1880. In substance Hud-
son County and its frauds made all the Dem
ocratic pluraitfes that State has seen for three
Presidential elections but ut the spring cleo
tion of the present year the Republicans elected
Wanser. their candidate for Mayor of Jersey
CITY. In addition "The Sun" takes notice that
rho Prohibitionists are likely to poll much
smaller vote this year than they cast when
General Clinton B. Fisk, of New-Jersey was
\ candidate for the Presidency in 1888. eS-
nccally since the Democratic liquor laws nave
sent most of the Prohibitionists back to the
Republican party.
Il NAV no said as to these speculations gen
orally that they fail to take into account the
influence of the tariff question upon the votes
of Democratic workingmen. 1t was long ago
said with truth that the Protective system
turned every factory into Republican strong
hold. New-Jersey, Connecticut ana New
York are crowded with manufacturing estab-
Ishments which depend for their very eXlst-
cnce upon continuance OF the Repuoiicah
nolicv. II would not be the strangest thing IN
the world if in each and all of these States
landslide in favor OF the Republicans should
occur such as startled the Democratic party
when the election was held in Rhode Island.
OF the results of the new tariff in New ork
and the adjoining States great many evidences
have been collected and published, and 1t Is
not difficult 20 realize that thousands OF voters
in each State have to-day direct and personal
interest in maintaining the policy OF Protection
who had no such interest in the campaign OF
1890.
And tho rainbow-chasers have carried Ala
hama for the Democratic ticket This tmc
they are sure about it the Alliance voters, they
saw. are going TO split. and part OF them VIII
vote with tho Democrats. as usual. Ii IS quite
nossible We should warn Republicans not to
indulge too great confidence that the vote OF
Alabama can be secured for the Republican
ticket. In fact, where the customary Alabama
methods prevail, it does not make great deal
Of difference which way people vote, and there
il something more than probability that such
methods will be employed as far as possible IN
that and other Southern States. The question
is what the North has to say about National
policy which has made this country the richest
and most prosperous on the face OF the earth
Ahout that question the rainbow-chasers will
get information the day after election.
