rIAYNARD,s CRIME.

What Governor Flower and ths rest of
the Democrats of New York vino are sup
porting Judge Isaac 81. Maynard are doing
can be best understood by plain state-
ment of what Maynard did to earn their
support.
The board of county canvassers of Dutch
ess county, after the election of 1891, threw
out thirty one Republican ballots, thus Sc
curing to the Democratic senatorial candi-
date sufficient majority to elect him.
The supreme court of New York decided
that the thirty-o one Republican ballots had
been improperly thrown out, aud directed
that the board of county canvassers make
new canvass and ooun. these thirty. one
ballots. The board obeyed the direction
of the court and made a new canvass,
which assured a majority to the Republican
candidate for the senate.
In obedience to the order of the supreme
court, the county clerk of Dutohess county
forwarded the corrected return to the
governor, the secretary Of state and the
controller, at Albany, as required by the
statute. Isaac a. Maynard went to the
controllers office in his absence and took
from his desk the corrected return.
That return has not been seen since.
The court of appeals decided that
| the state board of csnvassers had
o right to canvass this correct
ed return, If 1t was really sent
to the board. Isaac Il. Maynard was pres.
ent when the state board of oanvsssers
canvassed the returns from Dutchess ooun-
ty. He heard inquiries made as to whether
this corrected return had been received,
and sat silent while the false return was
canvassed, concealing the fact that he had
himself purloined the corrected return.
The result was that votes duly cast for the
Republican senatorial candidate were
ignored and the Democratic candidate wai
seated.
No wonder a good many Democrats IL
New York find themselves unable Il
stomach Judge Maynard. A man who viii
steal election returns is hardly fit for
place in Court of Appeals.

FRANK AND FKIENDLY.

Our esteemed contemporary the Register
has invented a curious theory that Post
master Sperry is such a partisan that he
couldn't find 1t in his nature to serve the
people of New Haven as postmaster under
Democratic administration. What the
Register really means by this theory, and
what it doesn't really conceal by it, is that
1t is 80 partisan itself that it isn't in Its
nature to look with tolerance on the idea
that the people of New Haven, irrespective
of party, need such postof6ce management
as Mr.. Sperry gives them much more than
they need a Democratic postmaster.
The Register disposes of all fair objec-
tions to the non-partisan effort to keep Mr..
Sperry In the place he 30 we'll fills when 1t
acknowledges his "unquestionable merits
as postmaster. The effort is based on
those merits. They are unquestioned and
unquestionable. Mr.. Sperry is the best
known and most conspicuous postmaster
in the country. His long term of service
has been full of benefit to the people of
New Haven and also to the people of the
whole country, who are to-day pro6ting by
some of his ideas and ingenuity in postal
matters. He has not been q partisan in
the postofics. He was prompt to apply the
civil service rules to the work and workers
there, and he has adhered strictly to them.
The result lie that to-day the postofice is
not place of partisan politics and the
mail isn't handled politically. But Ii ia
handled in very business-like and salts
factory way to all-Democrats, Republi-
cans, Prohibitionists, and A. P. A's.-who
send and receive it.
The Register generously resists the move
ment to keep a frst-class postmaster In q
place where he can continue to serve the
people because 1t feels that "Mr. Sperry'f
whole nature must revolt at It," and II
doesn't want anything to happen that will
hurt Mr.. Sperry's feelings. Here's rich.
ness. When Democratic postmasters have
been kept in Office under Republican sd-
ministration because they were SO useful
that the people of all parties wanted
them the Register hasn't appeared to feel
that they were insulted or humiliated, OF
| that their whole natures ought to revolt.
1t didn't appear to be conscious of the
need of any revolt in the natures Of the
Democrats who earned their money and
served the people well under Postmaster
| Sperry during the Harrison administration.
Now, however, when q non-partisan effori
is being made to keep the New Haven
! postofice in Its present very efficient aud
satisfactory condition it wants to see Mr.
; Sperry's whole nature revolt at 1t. 1t il
all very ingenious and friendly, but We
suspect that tho kind of revolt the Register
would not mind seeing is that which dis
turbed the whole natures" of the peopl,
of this city when they last had Demo
cratic postmaster.
