Sends to the President Report OF the
Years Work In His Office.


Years Work In His Office.
The postmaster-general mentions at
the beginning of his annual report the
chief developments of the year as fol-
lows: Five million dollars added to
the gross revenue; the deficit reduced
nearly 81 900, 600 Money order offices
increased two-thirds, or from l0,070 to
1869. Eighty-two cities supplied
with free delivery. Twenty-seven
hundred and ninety new Offices estab-
lished. Two hundred and siXty-three
offices advanced to the presidential
grade. Sixteen and three-fourths
millions of miles of additional scrXice.
Fifteen hundred and ninety new mail
routes established, embracing $500
miles Of new service. Ocean mail
service extended and pneumatic
tube service introduced. IL appears
that in the last four years 5,O51 new
mail routes have been established,
traversing 20. 900 miles; that the num-
Der of post offices has grown by over
S, 900, the number of money order offices
over 8, 200 and the number Of free de-
livery Offices has almost doubled
Free delivery ought TO be extended fur
ther and further whether it pays a
profit to the department or not. be-
lieve fully that great advantages could
be made in the direction of free deliv-
cry by an evolution of the star route
service"
In the matter of collection of mail
from letter boxes at house doors, the
division of the country into postal dis
tricts, the pneumatic tube, the postal
telegraph and postal telephone and one
cent letter postage are strenuously adj
vocated. All postmasters, presidential
and fourth class, and all employees in
all branches of the department should
have specific term of four years on
good behavior. He would establish a
system of compensation for railroads
based upon speed-a 20, 30, 40, 50 and

Why Vote ?

Because the country needs tariff reform,
and can secure il only by electing GROVER
CLEVELAND President Of the United States.
Because the Republican party 10 en-
deavoring TO ruin the fair fabric OF govern
ment which was left TO us by our fathers.
There is 10 measure 10 which they will
hesitate to resort IN order 70 accomplish
their purpose of perpetuating their rule
by fair means or foul.
Because the bayonet must be kept away
from the ballot-boX. There is no doubt
whatever, we think, that If the Republi-
cans secure the presidency and both
houses of the next Congress, they Will
enact the LODGE force bill into law. In
other words. all future national elections
will. as soon as the Republicans can so
arrange the matter, be conducted under
the shadow Of the bsyonet. There Will be
no more free elections.
Because the Republican party Is sec
tional party--a party of mallenants-and
such party ought not to be trusted with
the control of the National Government.
That party has outlved its day. 1t has
kept the country in trouble ever since 1t
succeeded in getting possession OF the
government. There has hardly been day
between 1865 and 1892 when there was not
q majority of the white voters of this
country opposed TO it.
Because the peace and prosperity OF the
country cannot be assured under the rule
OF the Republican party.
Because the people have the right 10 be
governed by the best party and the best
men i'll the land. These best men aro
Democrats. This best party is the Demo
cratic party. 1t knows no sections. II Is
supported by legiors of white men in
every State OF the Union, whereas the Re-
publican party has few white supporters in
the sixteen States called the solid South. "
Because, finally, there are numerous rea-
sons why YOU should vote the Democratic
ticket, and none why you should neglect
TO do so. The Republican party deserves
nothing at your hands or the hands OF any
other patriot except consignment to the
tomb of dead parties which have lived till
the people detested them.

Onr Ticket Conntnrfnited.

The Democratic Qithographed) ticket
has been counterfeited with sufficient &C.
curacy to deceive many voters, and in
place Of the name of GEORGE ID. WISE that
of WALTER +. GRANT appears. Voters who
are not careful are apt to be trapped by it.
The counterfeit was not seen IN this city
until yesterday.
Here the people can be easily warned
against it, but in the country, and particu-
larly at precincts where notice of 1t has
not been given. we may lose scores of votes
by it. The Democratic leaders, therefore,
should send messages warning their fellow
Democrats TO look out for the counterfeit.
Had this ruse gone undiscovered until
to-day Mr.. GRANT might have profted by
it considerably, but now it is likely to do
him more harm than good.
We cannot say whether such counterfeit
tickets have been sent to other congress
sional districts or not but 1t is quite
probable. So all Democratic voters should
be put on their guard.

This mornings issue of the DIsPATcH
will find its way to many of our thousands
of readers before the closing struggle
will have begun. From sunrise 10 sunset
We expect the battle of ballots to GO on.
Yet we cannot but fear that the battle Of
ballots may in some places turn out TO be
"a contest between threatening bayonets
and peaceful ballots. The presence at the
polls of Federal supervisors and deputy
marshals IL undoubtedly intended rs \
measure OF intimidation. These officials are
placed near the ballot-bOx, and placed there
TO represent the bayonet. Each supervisor
feels that cleaning bayonet stands just
outside the door OF the vOting-place. The
Lopez bill, if Lopez himself is not mis-
taken. calls for a soldier behind each voter
and bayonet in the hands Of each SOL
dier. This soldier and this bayonet will be
seen TO-DAY In New York, in Richmond, in
Philadelphia. III Brooklyn, and, so lar as
the South Is concerned. wherever the REM
nsnt Of carpet baggers and scalawags may
call upon the Republican partisan Federal
judges to take charge of the polls.
Nevertheless, the PEOPLE Will triumph
