NEW c
ibner's Magazine for November.


A notable article in Scrtbner's MGga-
zine for November is on the "Conversa-
lions and Opinions of Victor Hugo"
which Octave UZanne, the famous French
b%ibliophile and literary authority has
compiled from unpublished papers found
at Guernsey, where the poet spent his
exile. These papers consist of a journal
of 1000 pages by Hugo's sou. Francois,
detailing the table talk of his father anu
his eminent friends in the years 1852 1856.
This interesting diary contains many in
~terlineations and corrections in the hand
writing of Victor Hugo, showing that it
was carefully revised by him.. The first
mention of the journal appeared in the
London thenOeum in April last, aud NJ.
UZanne Is the first person allowed TO eX-
anime it in detail and make extracts from
it for Scrdbner's Magazine. His article
gives an intimate view of Hugo in his
every day life, with many characteristic
dialogues.
The seventh article in the series "Grest
| Streets of the World" is a description of
1.-THE Grand CanaP' of Venice by Henry
James, whose wonderful prose style is
exactly adapted to p~ortraying this pic
turesque street. The illustrations are by

The Great Doodle Effort.


With his usual power of concentra-
ton upon a supreme issue, Grover
Cleveland last night, in his brief but
powerful speech at the Lenox Ly-
ceum, New York, directed the atten-
tion of the whole country to the
means by which the Republican party
is planning to carry the National cleo
tion next Tuesday. This scheme Of
corruption, without parallel in the
history of the World, is now the one
overmastering subject for the people
to consider and pass judgment upon.
The Republican leaders have called
upon the great capitalists, who profit
by protection, to furnish them with a
great sum of money to carry the cleo
ton. These robber barons, growing
rich on the taxation of the vast body
of the people, have responded with
contributions reaching an aggregate
never before heard of. Pennsyl-
vania's iron, cotton and wooden mills
alone have furnished a million of dol
lars. This sum is to be used in New
York, Connecticut and Indiana. In
New Jersey, $3.50, coo has been raised
for use within the State. No revela.
tions have yet been made, of the
sums advanced by the money kings in
other parts of the country, but there
can be no doubt but monstrous sums
have been raised in every direction.
What is the motive for this extraor-
binary levy?
What is the use to which the money
is to be put?
1t is only common sense to assume
that if the Republican leaders were
confident of the power of their cause,
if they believed the people a approved
of the policy of their party, if they be-
lieved the people were with them,
were going to vote for their candidates
and were going to elect them, if we say,
the Republican leaders had any hope
as to the issue of next Tuesdays cleo
ton on its own merits, then, certainly,
this urgent call for money would not
have been made, this colossal sum
would not have been collected for
use in the last few days of the
campaign. Republicans have no
more love for wastin their money
than other people. 1t may even be
said they would rather win without
resorting to such means, if they could.
It'll therefore plain that this great
fund, of probably two to three mil
lions has been accumulated to reverse
the Judgment and the will Of the peo-

That is the motive.
And how is the result to be accom-
plished? How is the money to be
used? 1t became available about the
beginning of this week. That is
to say there we're about eight or
nine days in which to spend
it. Will sense accord
with the claim or the theory that it
was to be applied in any honest way?
Could such a sum be spent in cam
paign literature, in meetings, for
speakers, for red fire, or any OF the
usual expenses of a legitimate cam
paign, within the time left? We think
not. Consider that all such expenses
of an educational campaign had
already been provided for with the
most extraordinary liberality. Con-
slider that this sum of from two to
three millions is a surplus over all the
estimated expenses of the campaign.
Then, we ask, again, what is it to be
used for? How is it to be spent?
The evidence is most complete and
convincing of the wholesale purchase
of votes in 1888, the most conspicuous
cases being in Indiana and in the in
terror of New York. You may admit
OF not, as you please, that the frauds
of that year were the only cause of
Mr.. Cleveland's defeat; but you can
not deny that they were fragrant in
character and wholesale in extent.
Is it, in presence of the record of these
frauds, to be doubted that the huge
sum of money now in the hands OF
Quay, Martin, Clarkson and the
others who perpetrated the frauds OF
1888 will be used according to any
other than fraudulent methods this
year2
The question is just one of plain,
ordinary common sense. Here are
men who took a big lot of money in
1888, and bought votes by the thou
sand with it. They have four times
as much money this year, how are
they going to use it?
Grover Cleveland is right, as he al
most invariably is, in lifting up his
voice in warning to the people in
presence of this fearful National peril.
1t is not merely the danger of losing
this one election by corruption and
bribery, though that is a danger at
which the patriotic man must feel
chilled to the heart; it is the sill
more terrible danger of the cenfirma-
ton of this hideous process of de-
bauchery into a system that is ap-
palling to the honest citizens of the
country.
If the Republican party can buy
this years election, that may mean
the Force Bill in the next Congress.
The party that will buy the Presi-
dency will have no hesitation in pass
ing that infamous measure. But even
if the Democracy retains control of
the House of Representatives this
time, it only needs one more effort of
corruption to give the Republicans
the mastery of it in 1894. Then comes
the end of the Republic, the downfall
of American liberty, the beginning of
oligarchical rule with its inevitable
results of domestic tyranny, revolu-
ton, disruption and general ruin.
In our peaceful and prosperous days,
these may seem to be mere words.
They are not. The experience of all
history is before the eyes of all who
have a mind to read it. The begin
ming of the downfall of every power
has been in that too great tranquility
and security which made it a prey to
the corruption of money.
