demanding his immediate expulsion. What

effect that he would use every means Of delay

tactics chafcd his naughty spirit The actual
mention Of flibustcring threw him into fit

that Senator White, Of Louisiana. had got up
on his hind legs and snortcd awfuly at Dubois,
of Idaho, and while some ignorant persons
here and there were wondering who in thun-
der White, OF Louisiana, might be. others were
asking themselves when and through what
moral process White had reached his new at

was the editor OF Il small daily newspaper pub

as Marysyle, and so acute was his curiosity
that he broke out into loud questioning -qucs-

VATCHERS At THE POLLS.

In deciding to devote their attention to the
protection Of the ballotboxes, the committee
of lawyers appointed by Mr.. Peckham has done
an extremely judicious and sensible thing. The
canvass has proceeded far enough to convince
intelligent and experienced observers that there
is no doubt OF Maynard's defeat, If the voting
and counting are honest. In Brooklyn New
York. Albany and Buffalo is the danger of fraud
most serious Here. and in Brooklyn especial
", it is perfectly notorious that the Democratic
machine intends to cheat on the most extensive
scale possible 1t has done that sort Of thing
so long that it knows just exactly how to pro-
coed. It's preparations for fraud are large and
obvious. Two Democratic organs 1.-The Her
aid in this city and 1.-The Eagle" in Brook
lyn, have with admirable courage and honesty
exposed its plans. 1.-THE Herald has shown
that schemes Of colonization have been con-
trived in the downtown districts Of this city
by means Of which many hundreds Of fraudu-
lent names have got upon the registry lists.
THE Eagle" has shown that the dishonest
registration in Kings County is simply enor-
nous. Possibly under the sharpest and most
courageous system of scrutiny q small percent
age Of these infamous preparations will be sue
cessfully carried out, but II the watching ut the
polls and during the count is everywhere eff
cient, that percentage will be very small in
deed, and the men of all men to do the watch
ing are men who know the law, who under
stand their rights and duties who can neither
be bluffed" nor intimidatad, and who feel
behind them the strong and sufficient support
of an organization of honest and determined
men.
The lawyers committee undoubtedly appre-
ciate the full force of this point The difficulty
Is that they have come together at late hour
and that their preparations must be hurredly
made. None the less, we are sure, they will be
well made. The committee Is composed of prac.
