Cleveland Cant Garry New York.

When the entire New York delegation
to Chicago declared v their written
signatures that Grover Cleveland could
not carry New York they made the most
amazing declaration concerning the lead
ing candidate before the National Con-
vcntlon that was ever placed on record
under similar circumstances and by
men OF similar prom nence in American
politics.
That they were right in their conclu-
sions the result will disclose, and we
need not even wait 70. the result,
Abundant evidence is at hand to show
that the Democratic canvass SO far as
New York State is concerned is in u
condition OF chaos. The Tammany-Hill
Democracy and the poapyc elk State
Democracy cannot be made to blend any
more than oil and water.

struggle of Mr.. Whitney, with Mr..
Cleve'and's hep. 10 settle the elements
OF unrest in the party, and their utter
failure to accomplish their purpose.

In Ohio during that period the ratio
was three for "McKin.eyism" to eighty
one for Cleveland.
In Pennsylvania during the first half
year Of the Mckinley bill Democratic
authorities charge up strikes in eight
iron and steel works in Pennsylvania
md In several Philadelphia carpet fac
tories to that measure.
During the corresponding six months
OF Cleveland's administration thirty
nine carpet works and twenty-seven
steel WORKS In Pennsylvania were under
strike, not to mention the l6, 900 miners
in l43 coal mines.
In our issue Of July 20 we showed
that while the population OF the Unitel
States was nearly double that OF En-
gland, yet within the last twelve months
there wers over 1900 strikes In FREQ
Trade" England, affecting over $780,
600 Of workers-the Durham miners
strike alone involved half a Million
while in Protection America scarcely
2O0, 900 persons were affected in the
Same period.
1t seems to us that this is a subject
the Democratic papers had better leave
most carefully acne.

The banks VIII Fight.
0THE banks in the State will fight (

OTME banks in the State will fight the
assessment as equalized by the state
Board. The original assessment of
bonk stock was made at 80 per cent. Of
the face. All other property was as
sesscd at 40 per cent. Of its value. The
state board raised bank stock 60 per
cent. or TO so per cent. of its face. The
banks claim hat this is an unjust dis
elimination against them and will carry
the fight into tho courts. A similar
fight was successfully made BY the
banks at Sioux Falls last year, The
assessment in several cases was for
more than the face value, In one case
being | 0 per cent The banks resisted
the tax and won in the courts. They
will make another effort this year.

An Object Lesson.

The Democrats say to the Alliance
people OF the South they must not desert
the Democratic party. because II they
do the Republicans may go into power
and pass o force bill, to secure honest
Congressional election in Alabama and
other cotton States. 1t is doubtful
whether the recent experience Of the
Alliance In Alabama will induce Its
members to listen to tho plcadings Of
the Democrats. The Alliance people
say that thei, State ticket was elected,
ut that they were cheated ont OF their
victory BY tho tricky and rascaliy DEM
ocrats.
Ono OF the Allianc, men in Mont
gon,ery stands ready to make oath that
he stoo at the polls oil day keeping an
accurate count OF the number Of ballots
cast. and that although there were but
$40 tickets Put into the box the officers
returned SOC for the Democratic can
d.date and fifty 1.-TWO for the Alliance
a niidate, thus doubling tho vote and
giving the Democrats 10 per cent. the
&dvan'age. Another man reports that
in Bullock County. where only 800 bal
lets were put in the box. the officers re.
ported a majority Of 900 for the Demo-
cratic candidate. In still another
county the Alliance people insist that
there were but forty ballots east at a
particular precinct, lu that the officers
reported AS, and did not give the Al.
lance can !idate a single one Of the
number.
/. With these Democratic ~rascalities
before their eyes, says the Chicago
Tribune, the supporters OF the Alliance
ii ket may come to the etn fusion that
there are worse things in tn world than
| Ills intended to secure honest voting at
Congressional elections. They may
III NIX that . force b II would be q good
thing for State rs well ~ for Congress
SIGNAL elections.
OF course no one has much sympathy
for these men who are complaining Of
stu Ted ballot-boxes. Most Of them
were Democrats, and have bcen stufing
loxes and s~uppressing votes for the last
eixtes n years to cheat the Republicans.
They are taking = dose Of their own
medicine now, and find that 1t does not
taste good.

During the month OF June the customs
receipts were $14 ,6l8, 495, or more than
$500 900 less than the average. During
the month Of July the customs receipts
rose to $17, 300. 153, an increase over
June OF over 81. 500 900. Tho receipts
for August and the fall months will In
all probability be still larger than those
for July. The customs row nue. for the
flscal year ending June 30, 1893, is not
likely to be much less than $500, 0OO, 900.
Not all the appropriations will need to
BIO expended during the year, and Sem
ator Allison, WHO IL q safe and con-
sentative authority, says that al the
end OF the year there will be a small
surplus.
A Democratic House OF Representa-
tives, with a knowledge that the esti-
mated revenue OF the Government of the
fiscal year Is about $455. 0ON. OO0. has APP
plopr.ated sums amounting In the aggre-
gate 10 over $j07 900 900. It's only excuse
for this is that the Republican House of
Representatives Of the Fifty-flrst Con-
gress made permanent appropriations
amounting to nearly $50, OnO, 0UO which
this House had to pay; 80 that "left to
Themselves the Democrats would have
appropriated about $43s, O0O, 900. Now,
the democrats were perfectly FREQ to
rep al these appropriations II they chose.
Forty-elght millions OF them were for
pensions, 50. SEQ, 900 for redemption OF
national bank notes, $40, OOO, 900 was for
sugar bounties, and So, 29l, $50 was ap-
propriatd for the Worlds Fair.
These appropriations were not re-
pealcd nor rejected by the Democrats,
but now they seek to repudiate them.
There Is no telling, OF course, what they
might have done II left to themselves. "
As they had only $50 majority in the
House they were, Of course, hampered
by the opposition and were unable to do
as they chose.
1t Is perhaps natural that the Demo-
Gratis. who have had little experience in
public business, should b. incapable OF
dealing with either a surplus or a deficit;
but tho Republicans are frightened by
neither. and will. we suppose, adminis-
ter the government safely and econom-
!tcally for at least four years and n half
