of an impending political revolution
that will add number of electoral votes

as we'll ms lose several others to Harrison in

We owe much to the admirable manage

The Davenport raid on the voters of New
York has GeRenerated into a crime of buy

public funds. United States Marshal John
w. Jacobus aa we'll as the gu ervisor and
his coadiutors in administration poll

Gen. Emmons Clarke, for many years
the commander of tho famous New York
Seventh regiment, and a lifelong republi-
can, has Just declared that he will vote and
and use all his influence for Cleveland and

no other reason for the action that he and
thou sands of others are taking, sufficient
one would be found in the official course
which is an insult to every honest citizen
of New York, and especially to those who
have tried to do credit to the commission
Of the United States when in its military
service.
