The best that the republicans in th,. .,..

The best that the republicans in this state
can hope for is a reduced democratic ma
jority," which they will try. with the help
of the populists, to obtain. A republican
leader was heard to say not long ago that
by reducing" the majority they would be
able to control the federal patronage in the
state almost as much as il they were to Sc
cure republican victory. In order to do
this reducing it may be expected that the
republicans aud their populist allies will
resort to all sorts of tricks with the ballots.
One Of the commonest and easiest worked
Of such tricks is to mix the electoral ticket,
putting the names Of the democratic cleo
tors at the top of the ticket aud then run
ming In the names of republican or other
electors where they will attract the least
attention. In view Of this it would be well
for every voter to examine his ticket
critically, comparing the names of electors
on the ticket with the authentic list pub
lished in the MORNING NEWS and other
democratic papers.

Mr.. GilroY's Figures.

Mr. Gilroy, the democratic candidate for
mayor of New York, says that Mr.. Cleve-
lands majority in that city will be rs, 900.
He makes this statement over his own sig
nature III the Herald. According to our
dispatches yesterday Mr.. Gilroy has in
structed the New York CITY democrats to
waste no time IN electioneering for the city
ticket, but to give their whole attention to
the national ticket. He means. evidently,
to make his prediction of a majority Of
u.s. 900 in the city good.
Mr.. Gilroy says he does not see how it is
possible for Mr.. Cleveland's majority in the
state TO be less than 10000, and he would
not be surprised If it should be 10000. The
reasons for his figures he gives at consider
able length, and they appear to be sound.
The republicans claim that IL Mr.. Har-
rison gets the same percentage Of the vote
below Harlem bridge as he got in 1888 and
the same majority above Harlem bridge as
he did that year he will carry the state by
a plurality Of from 5000 to 900. But the
conditions this year are quite different from
those Of 1888. AS the New York Times
points out, they are those of 1891, when
Gov. Flower was elected by a majority Of
10000.
Assuming that the Times Is right the basis
upon which Gen. Harrison's vote should be
estimated is the percentage Of the vote be-
low Harlem bridge which the republican
ticket received In 1891, and the majority it
received above it in that year. On that
basis Mr.. Cleveland would carry the state
by majority of nearly 10000.
And there are satisfactory reasons for
believing the Times is right. In 1888 the
democrats in New York city were not en-
tirely harmonious. In 1891 they were, and,
to a certain degree, they had the sympathy
of the independent voters. This year they
are harmonious and enthusiastic and they
have the sympathy of the Independents to a
greater extent even than in 1891. Why
then should not the democratic vote below
Harlem bridge be a larger percentage Of
the total vote in that section than it was In
1888 and fully as large as it was in 1891?
The conditions, as far as the Republican
party is concerned, above Harlem bridge
are pretty much what they were in 1891.
jority above Harlem bridge will be much
less next Tuesday than it was in 1888. u
will be about what Fassett's majority was
in 1891.
There is great deal Of speculation with
regard to New York, but there is not much
ground for doubling that Mr. Cleveland
will carry it.

No "Ruin" in q Low Tariff.

From the Springfield tMdss.) Republican Qnd) }.
Analyze the often expressed fear that the bus.
mess interests of the country will suffer If the
democrats carry the election, and 1t amounts to
facturers' profits will be reduced. Combinations
and trusts will not be so easily sustained, com
petition will be moro keen and prices will fall.
This il the way the matter was put by pro-
tected manufacturer in conversation the other
day. He does not see why things could not be
left as they were, so long as ''everybody"-
meaning he and his fellow manufacturers-was
satisfied and doing well Really this is practi-
cally all there is to be afraid of as a result OF
the election OF q democratic President,l House.
and even democratic Senate. The crops

foreign goods as we do now. Wages would be
regulated by the law of supply and demand
then as they are now, and any probable reduc-
ton in them would be Offset by reduction In
the cost Of living. There is no ruin" in q low
tariff.

It is difficult 20 understand what objeo-
ton there could be to "bombardment Of
Fort Sumter" during the Charleston festi-
val. Sumter is neither a military nor a
naval station, and its garrison" consists of
one man who attends to the beacon Light
and fog bell that now stand on the
ramparts Of the old fort 1t does
not seem the firing roman candles and sky
rockets at the old pile and exploding blank
cartridges on board Of warships anchored in
the vicinity would be an insult TO the
American flag. But, inssmuch as some
folks think it would be, IL is probably better
that the Carolinians should get all the fun
they can out Of the old fort that beat Sir
Peter Parker off, aud let Sumter alone.

The precipitate interest taken by Presi-
dent Harrison and the republican managers
in the cases Of DR.. Gallagher and other
Irishmen in English prisons is very trans
parent campaign dodge that will deceive
nobody. When the case of DR.. Gallagher
was before the public some time ago some
thing might have been done toward secur-
ing his release with a good show of disln-
terested sympathy. But to wait until this
late day makes the purpose of the admins
tration too apparent to mislead even re-
publican Irishmen.

Col. Lester,s Majority.

In every county Of tho First congress -
sional district special efforts should be made
to give Col. Loster big ma orisy. Although
no doubt of his election is felt he has, never
theless, two opponents, each of whom is
working hard to get large vote.
Col Lester is entitled not only to a re-
election. but also to big majority. What he
has done for this district commeuds him to
ell Its voters, whatever their politics may
be. The whole district is benefited by the
services he has rendered as its repr esenta-
tive. No effort should be spared, therefore.
to show him that his services are appreci-
ated, and the best way for the people to
do that is to give him majority that will
be gratifying to him.
Nc democrat should fail to lend him a
helping hand whenever al opportunity pre-
sents itself. Opportunities are presenting
themselves all the time. Neither the third
partyites nor the republicans expect their
candidate will be elected. There are, there.
fore, among the opponents of the Demo-
cratic party thousands who would as
lief vote for Col. Lester as not, and they
will vote for him if urged to do SO. They
are not personally hostile to him. In fact.
he is popular with them. They know what
he has done for tho district and what he is
capable of doing. They know he would
represent the district much better than
either of his opponents. 1t is evident, there
fore, that it would be a comparatively easy
matter to influence them to vote for him.
Democrats should make it a point to influ-
ence them. Let us give Col. Lester a ma
jority that will make him glad.

A billy goat projected himself into Texas
politics day or two ago and knocked out a
Hogg orator in ''three shakes" Next to
the actual knockout blow, the most IN
pleasant features of the incident were that
the goat was Gov. Hogg's prop

came from behind. occurred on the
governors premises. Ex-Gov. Ireland was
the victim. While walking across the

he was rescued by neighbors, who took him
