THE OUTLOOK IN NEW YORK.
A Safe Democratic Majority sAlready I'm


A Safe Democratic Majority sAlready I'm
Sight.
The letters of democratic and repub-
Ecan editors from various sections of
the state to the Argus present the first
general survey of the political situa-
ton in interior New York, published
during the canvass This indicates
very plainly that the drift of sentiment
is strongly with the democratic party,
and that diligent work from now until
election will give the democratic cleo
toral ticket handsome majority in the
state.
Our reports cover two-thirds of the
counties in the state, outside of New
York and Kings, but rather less than
half the vote, and they point by what
is said and by what is left unsaid, to
considerable reductions in the repub-
Ecan pluralities of 1888 all through the
state. The republican party recognizes
that four years ago its vote reached high
water mark, and has since been steadily
receding The feigned apprehension OF
the New York Tribune that the new
ballot law will keep timid republicans.
afraid of its supposed complexities.
away from the polls, is a transparent
evasion of the fact that the new laws
have checked the corrupt practices by
which the republican vote in the in
terror was formerly swelled. Reasons
for the republican losses which are
noted by our respected and obliging
correspondents were not asked. be.
cause they are on the surface.
Briefly summarized, the letters from
democratic sources point to a net re-
publican loss or democratic gain OF
16, 900 in forty counties. The same

ratio in the remainder of the state
would produce a republican loss of
about 80, 900 outside of New York and
Kings, in which a democratic gain of
at least 10000 is conceded. A loss of
over 1900 conceded by republicans in
eleven counties would imply. on a
rough calculation of the vote of the
state, a total republican loss of about
Is, 900, which, with the allowed demo-
cratic gains south of the Harlem, would
give the state to the democratic ticket
by safe majority of about 1900

the outskirts of Harper, and where they
found third man that did not allow
himself to be seen by the informant.
The first letter was mailed from Nc

the third from Troy. The answers were
to be sent to James L. Colbert. North

been employed by some person or per

CAUSED INDIGNATION.
WICHITA, Kan, Oct 27.-The story
sent out from here yesterday with
reference to the discovery of a con-
spiracy to assassinate Jerry Simp-
son is causing an immense amount
of indignation among all classes of
business men, and it is not unlikely that
a big demonstration will be held to pro-
test against the publishing of such re-
ports, as business men and good citizens
generally regard them as very injurious
to the name and reputation of south
west Kansas in the east.
The alleged conspiracy is essentially
campaign fake, and nobody believes
that there is anything whatever of a
serious nature in it

that the senate, at some time or other,
in some way not named, may be lost to
the republicans. The senate is certain
to remain republican till March 4, and
it is almost certain that no democratic
senate can meet in Washington at the
same time with house of representa-
tives before December, 1898. Really,
it is too much to ask people to go into
their cyclone cellars thirteen months
before the cVclone.=N. Y Post.

AN ARCH HYPOCRITE.
The Humbuggery of wildcat Silver Sher-


The Humbuggery of wildcat Silver Sher-
John Sherman, the author and de-
fender Of the present crazy silver law
"a law that is hurrying this country
toward a sixty fve-cent dollar currency
as fast as anything short of unlimited
silver coinage can do it-standing be-
ing to be greatly frightened about Wild
cat banks was a sight for gods and
men.
This Sherman is the craftiest of all
the republican monopoly advocates. It
was he who undertook to sweeten the
Mckinley tariff dose by getting up a
bogus antitrust law when he we'll
knew that the best and the only anti
trust law that this country can have is
free trade. 1t was John Sherman,
hypocrite, who stood up in 1880 and
thanked the republican party for the
good crops of that and the preceding
year and urged the people to keep the
tariff and star route and electoral vote
thieves in power because change in
the white house might stop the sun
shine, the rain and the harvest. His
present appeals are addressed to about
the same grade of intelligence.
The truth is that if there is an old
humbug in the republican party it is
John Sherman. Posing as the high
priest of honest money, he is the hope
of the cheap silver cranks of the far
west. His silver law, now in force,
is menace to every wageworker in
the land One step more and every
days labor in America will be paid for
with John Sherman's sixty-five-cent
silver dollars.
Talk about wildcats! The irredeema-
BILE sixty fve-cent silver dollar that
John Sherman has given us is the only
debased currency that threatens this
country to-day, and we have it because
John Sherman found it necessary to
make this concession to the bullion
million aires of the far " est in order to
secure their support of the thieving
Mckinley bill. If there is a wildcat
anywhere in this vicinity it is John
Sherman himself-Chicago Herald

CHAPTER VII
It was indeed true that King C1ari-
mond had abruptly received tidings
which told him his mother had just
crossed the Saltravian frontier. Be
tween the princess and himself relations
Of most frosty character had existed
for several years Few people, however,
remained long on good terms with the
princess. Her disposition was now
merely overbearing; it brimmed with all
the worst bigotries of the dark ages,
and to say of her that she believed in
the .tdivine rights of kings" would have
been mildly to express her mental saw
agery. The course OF her son and only
child, Clarimond, had almost maddened
her since his accession to the throne.
She had detested his father, her
first husband, the Archduke Conrad,
and in Clarimond she saw the paternal
traits accentuated, made more hideous,
more nauseating. Conrad had pre-
stunned in her presence to air his loath-
some republican doctrines, and his
early death had seemed to her like a
heavenly vengeance for such audacity.
Marrying soon afterward an old Italian
prince of great wealth and extreme con-
servatism, she again became a widow
before it even vaguely entered her head
that the son whom she had left with his
tutors and guardians in Saltrayia stood
the remotest chance of ever being king.
The princess adored Italy, and shrank

HanIon's "Superba" at Cordray's.


The opening performance of "Superba"
was given at Cordray's last night to a
packed .ouse. Standing room was eagerly
purchased by late applicants at the box
Office and when the curtain rose the per-
formers looked on an audience that has
been rarely eaualed at this theater. "Su-
perba" is an intricate maze of clever tricks
and ingenious mechanical devices. The
plot is entirely subservient to mechanical
art. which in this case has achieved mar
Vicious results. Nothing, apparently.
has daunted the Hanlon broth
ers in their efforts to sur
pass in the spectacular-pantomim
field. They have aimed at performing the
most astounding feats in the simplest
manner, and they have constructed the
piece so as to admit of imparting to magi-
cal illusions and wonderful transforma-
lions an air of realism which makes the
auditor forget improbability in the
amusement derived from the ludicrous
situations in which the characters in the
cast are constantly placed. The admirable
precision with which the performance was
given gains for the stage management
great praise. The almost instantaneous
rapidity with which scene after scene was
presented, each a marvel of its kind down
to the minutest detail, gave one
the impression that the whole setting was
a grand specimen ofingenious mechanism,
every part of which had its functions to
perform at set time and in an appointed
place. The clever heads and skiilful
hands behind the scenes and in the wings,
in this case, deserve most of the praise for
the success of "Superba" last night. Pier
rot, the clown, of course, was the most in
teresting figure, and William Schrode as
sumed the part very successfully. Miss
Jessie West is winsome and clever SOU
brette, and her singing and dancing were
highly appreciated by the au-
dience. Superba and Wallalia were
well represented by Miss Maud
Midgely and Miss Mildred Holland,
and the Fiilippi brothers were applauded
for grotesque dancing. The astonishing
ease with which inanimate objects were
made 10 perform intelligent evolutions
was a constant source of amazement to
the spectator, and, indeed. so near did
these approach nature that one could
scarcely detect the counterfeit. The Han
Ions have exercised commendable discre-
ton in the selection of their ballet and
lady choristers. They are not only comely,
shapely and attractive, but they are clever
and graceful. The run OF "Superba" will
undoubtedly prove a great and well de-
served success.
