DEMOCRATS RESPONSIBLE.
Lawless Methods in Western state Legs.
laturPS


The Mail and Express has repeatedly
declaTed that whatever lawlessnes5
and thievery might be committed il
the struggle for political control of the
five western state legislatures in dis
pute would be the outcome of the al
lance of the democratic party with
every phase of socialism, anarchy and
fanaticism that would aid in securing
for it votes The facts already de-
veloped prove the truth of this state
ment
In Kansas two speakers address the
members from the one rostrum in the
assembly-the populist speaker adj
dressing minority house of his own.
and the republican speaker addressing
a majority house. The former is con-
fessedly an illegal body. while the
latter. composed of all republicans and
three democrats, is backed up by legal
certificates of election for every mem
Der. Yet populist governor and SEN
ate have formally recognized the mi
nOrity house. and contests are now be-
ing prepared BY which enough repub-
licans will be declared not elected to
make up majority for the populists-
This is to be done in the next few DAYS,
when. with a working ma jOrity of their
own seated, the pOpulists propose to
have the republican speaker forcibly
elected from the chair. Such action is
revolution. anarchy: but has been
made possible, as we have said, only
by the coalition of the democrats on
election day with the men whose acts
they now are compelled TO denodnce.
In Nebraska ard Montana. the demo-
Gratis themselves are the guilty ones,
having seated member in each legis-
lature by fraudulent certificates Just
as was done in the Duchess county
case here last year. The pOpulists out
west are aiding in the fraud. So close
anti-republican forces, however, in
both states that the plot may yet fail,
and a republican United States senator
be chosen. Eight democratic legisia-
tors in Montana have boIted and refuse
to enter the party caucus, thus holding
the balance of power
In California, too. the democrats
have gained ascendeney by unseating
two republicans clearly elected. en-
titled to their places. Wyoming is the
only state in which some grossly out
rageOus fraud upon the people has not
been attempted, and even there the in
cidents of the organization of the
legislature are not to the credit of the
populist combinatiou.-N. Y. Mail and
Express

THE VOTE FOR PRESIDENT.
Where Cleveland Made His Gains In the
Late Election.

Where Cleveland Made His Gains In the
Late Election.
According to the latest estimate Mr.
Cleveland's plurality in the popular
vote over Gen. Harrison is about $50
900. This is broad margin, it is true,
but the men who are proclaiming that
it is the broadcast ever known are seri-
ously in error. IL has been exceeded
in dimensions several times in the past
third of century. Lincoln led Doug
las, his nearest competitor IN the pop
ular vote, about 500, 600 in 1850. aud led
Breckenridge over LOCO, 900. 1t is true
the democratic party was split at that
time, but it is equally true that the re-
publicans lost many votes by the pres
ence of the constitutional union ticket
in the field. Lincoln beat Mcclellan
400. 900 votes in 1864. but those were
war days, when eleven states were in
instruction, and those states, too, in
the democratic section of the country.
IL 1868, in reconstruction days, Grant
beat Seymour 800. 600, and four years
later he beat Greeley 200, 900. Greeley.
of course, was not really a democrat,
but the democrats Endorsed him, and
they showed more enthusiasm for him.
at least in the beginning of the can
vaSs, than they did for Cleveland this
year. As the whole vote was much
smaller in those days than it IS in these,
those big pluralities represent a far
larger proportion of the aggregate than
Cleveland's does
In truth, though, this lead of Cleve-
land in the popular vote affords no &C
curate measure of the relative strength
of Cleveland and Harrison with TIE
people 1t has been gained in the
south, where both parties do not stand
on the same plane in regard to the
privilege of voting. Every state in the
south is democratic at all times and
under all circumstances Some of
them are fairly and honestly demo-
cratic, and doubtless will remain dem
ocratie for many years to come. But
several of the southern states are deIn-
ocratic simply because that party has
the control OF all the local Offices and
the voting machinery, and, being reck-
less and INSCRIPTIONS in its methods
and practices. IL Is enabled 70 stamp
out all opposition and securely intrench
itself in power. In those states the
constitution and the laws in every can
vass are hagrautly and Systematically
disregarded- Republicans are either
kept away from the polls or their votes
are not counted. Elections there are
mere farce>. Nobody familiar with the
conditions and practices in such states
imagines that the result in elections
furnishes a true reflection of the senti-
ment of the community. If the cOudi-
tions were as fair all over the south TO
the rervb'icans as they are all over the
rest g. the country to the democrats
Mr.. Cleveland's plurality, either in the
popular vote or in the electoral college

plurality at all, would have been ex-

His family. copsisting only of his wife and

this morning he came to his home. and
going up to the room where his wife and

He then spread q blanket on the floor at

to the mouth of his sleeping daughter. he
sent q bullet through her brain and then
shot his wife through the head. Thinking
that both were dead, he stretched himself
out upon the blanket on the floor and put
q bullet into his skull. killing himself in
