III ELECTION.

The election of Friday next is impor-
tant. We must have a larger repre-
sentation in the Legislature. The
illness, absence or death Of but a few
members of the lower House, especially,
would paralyze that body and leave it
unable to transact business.
The Democrats don't seem to be max
ing much effort to carry the day. But
il is only in seeming. They are not
hunting ducks with a brass band this
trip. They tried that last Wednesday
and it didn't work. Don't be deceived.
Don't be deceived. A good many
Democratic votes are going to be cast
on Friday. We must clinch the nail
driven into Democracy's coffin last
Wednesday.

THE coLoRED VOTE.

An effort is being made to ALLEVIATE
the colored vote, if possible, from the
Republican ticket in this weeks cleo
ton by circulating the false report that
white Republicans last week knitted Mr..
Camp Hughes, the colored candidate for
the General Assembly. The TorchliJht,
the ably-edited organ Of the colored
men, shows up this falsehood in its
proper colors.
We refer TO figures. it says, for proof
that Mr.. Hughes received proportionately
us large a percentage of the white ReDub-
lican votes as he did OF the colored, aud
more. The first. second, seventh and
eighth wards are the most densely popu-
lated colored wards in this city, and yet
there are other wards in this city with
that gave Mr.. Hughes a larger per-
centage of the Republican votes.
Taking the vote cast for governor as a
basis, we nave the following facts: Mr..
Hughes percentage OF the Republican
vote cast for governor was in round num-
bers rs follows: In the First ward, 93 per
cent: Second ward, 9S per cent; in the
Third, Fourth, Fifth and Tenth wards, 81
per cent: Sixth ward. 93 per cent; Seventh
ward. 95 per cent; Eighth ward, % per
cent, and the Ninth ward, 96 per cent.
Now analyze these figures. and what is
The conclusion
II simply shows that the First, Seventh
and EtghJh wards with heavy cor0red
votes in them gave Mr.. Hughes a poorer
endorsement than did the wards wherein
we had to rely upon the white Republi-
eau vote to give our colored candidate q
more decent percentage.
Mr.. Hughes was Loyalty supported by
white Republicans. He ran well the
city over, and as the Torchlight clearly
points out, ran best in wards where the
white vote was largest. Any assertion
to the contrary is invention, pure and
simple, and is cooked up for effect on
Friday

The passage of the Chinese exclusion
bill by the lower house OF congress
was the most disgraceful act ever
committed by a body of English-speaking
Observation-Disclosures Press.
The Chinese exclusion bill passed by the
house was the most bigoted, outrageous
measure which has been considered by
any lawmaking body in this country since
the time OF the fugitive slave law.-Buf-
falo Express.
The bill is a. drastic in its provisions as
il we'll can he. There is only one other
provision that could possibly be added
one requiring every Chinaman, or person
in whose veins Chinese blood. to leave the
United States within a given period
Toledo Blade.
The Chinese exclusion act, passed
by the house, would be regarded, IL
aimed at any European government, as u
declaration Of war. 1t will no doubt be
regarded somewhat in that light by the
little Chinese emperor. Kuang Hsii. and
his counsellors.- minneapolis Journal.
II this bill becomes a law the Chinese
government will be justified in rigidly ex-
Guiding all Americans from China. in dis
missing our %consuls, and severing all dip
lomatic and commercial relations with q
country which Is guilty of deliberately
violating its treaty obligations Mil

Retaliation by the Chinese govern
ment against anti Chinese legislation in
this land of the free is talked of in Picking,

with n certain degree Of complacency by
Chinese officials high in authority

1t is by an exactly opposite course of
legislation that Great Britain has ex-
tended her trade with China while ours
has dwindled nearly TO the point of dis
appearance. The present law has pre-
vented Chinese immigration from flood

capable Of accepting it, and maintain
that, knife in hand to the bitter end,
20 long as he has a friend in
the convention Hill will ask that
friend to vote against Cleveland. 1t Is
only on this supposition that Palmer
stock is kept in the market; but the
Palmer boomers have made a mistake of
late in coupling the Illinois senator's
name with Flowers. They are Him
formed enough in the West to imagine
that New York could be placated with
the Vice Presidency. Now Palmer and
Flower as a ticket would please Lieut.
Governor Sheehan but very few other
people. Flower would like first place
well enough. aud this familiar fact
would arouse Hill to prevent his getting
second. David is too wise and wary to
down Grover only to raise up Roswell.
The Western managers are not display
ing tact, and unless they bethink them
selves the fat will be in the fire.
Then, too, there is a little common
sense, in streaks. in some sections of the
Democratic party. Suppose the deal
comfortably arranged between the two
Senators, does the discredited ex-chief
Of Tammany still carry weight enough
to commit his party to a manifest alb
surdity? Will it, at his bidding, nj a
man who is long past the age for the
most exacting position known to mod
ern civilization? Perhaps, but it doesn't
seem likely.
All these speculations are deprived of
value, however, by the strong probable
ity that Hill himself has not made up his
mind yet what to do. When he decides
and tries 10 enforce his decision, then,
and not until then, will the Democracy
and the rest Of the country find out just
how the fight stands.

cLEyE OF PALMER.

Eastern Democrats believe that Cleve-
land viii be the nominee of their party.
The West is much of the same opinion,
except in Illinois, where the Palmer
boom has not yet been called in. The
latest estimate Of the relative strength
of the different candidates does not on
the face Of it afford much comfort to the
venerable Senator's friends. The guesser
who has most recently guessed, guesses
that If the first ballot in the Chicago
convention could be taken this week
Cleveland would have 307 delegates, ms
against 3O4 for Hill, "a for Boies, AZ for
Palmer and 26 for Carlisle.
This guess, to which the New York
Press gives currency, is misleading, be
aus Hills support is shaky and ready
TO drop away from him, because Boies'
forces have nc coherency outside OF
Iowa, because the Carlisle vote is merely
complimentary, and because the only
people who are really lin it. are Cleve-
land and the man to whom Hill shall
turn over his following. The question
of most vital interest TO the little group
of aspirants is what can Hill deliver and
TO whom will it be assigned?
That Hills name is not likely to be
presented TO the convention is a point
on which politicians are pretty general
ly agreed. His stock, fixtures and good
will have been claimed persistently by
the Cleveland and by the Palmer fac
fion. Ii is evident that on general prin-
ciples he might nationally make either a
preferred creditor. That he will incline
TO Palmer is the only hope Illinois has
to bank on. Cleveland's friends see be
fore them the two chances, that the
prize may fall TO them with Hills help,
or in spite of his opposition.
The beaten boss is planning for 1896.
1t is a necessity of his position to ally
himself with somebody who cannot be
his rival then. Therefore he will not
Join forces with Boies. If elected, Boies
might want TO run a second time.
Palmer is in his seventies. This un-
doubtedly Is a strong recommendation.
Cleveland has served one term and one
more would finish him. AS against
German or Pattison or any one of half a
dozen others. he will be compelled to
turn to one OF the two men who would
not be in his way next time.
The Cleveland people count on Hills
