First District.

When the polls were opened at Hillsdale
there were probably 300 men in the I'M
mediate vicinity. The great majority Of
these were colored.
1t had been rumored that there would be
a good deal of fighting between the ad-
herents of the various factions. To guard
against possible trouble Sergeant Anderson
took up station in Hillsdale with about
half dozen policemen soon after midday.
The fifth precinct police station patrol
wagon was also sent over from the city.
and kept so close at hand that it could have
been used at MON ment's notice had it be-
come necessary.
However, everything passed or quietly.
There was 10 lack Of tickets from the be-
ginning of the election. but M. NJ. Holland
arrived. shortly. after the balloting began
and distributed moro tickets among his
followers. Bradshaw was also early on
the ground.
The most earnest efforts were made by
the adherents of each candidate to gain
votes for his favorite, and every car of the
Anacostia Railway Company. was boarded
as 1t reached the terminus at Hillsdale, and
the male passengers begged to come and
vote. Farmers from the lower part of
the District, and, it was alleged, some from
Maryland. were pleaded with until they
stopped their wagons and went to the polls
and deposited ticket.
Lawyer John A. Moss, who, with Arthur
West, represented Carson on the ground,
became very much excited while talking
with some of Carsons opponents, and for
a time trouble was threatened. but all par
ties finally cooled down and no blows were
struck. There was much surprise Al the
large vote polled by Nauck and Brooks.
There were the usual charges of repeat
ing. but 1t is hardly probable that this
was indulged In to such an extent as to
make the effect appreciable on the gem
eral result.

Second District.

There were many wordy battles. but no
other disturbance at the first precinct in
the second district. The colored brethren
voted carly and often, and very few white
men took the trouble to worm their way
through the dense crowd that surrounded
the voting booth at 623 Pomeroy street to
exercise their right Of ballot. All candi-
dat tes had representatives there but, being
a Carson crowd through and through. only
the friends of the black oak were much in
evidence. 1t was remarkable how the spot
ters recognized repeaters when they were
rot for Carson. When one was detected he
was hurried out of line. The ballot box
was placed in a small window, behind which
the judges kept watch.
At quarter to 3 Mr.. L. NJ Saunders drove
up in his buggy, attended by a colored
coachman. He jumped lightly to the
ground and elbowed his way through the
crowd, until he stood upon the small porch
by the side of the poll. Then he surveyed
the surging crowd, and made a rush for
the window. where he was to cast his bal

while Carsons bore that of Saunders and

Gleeson, but these conditions had no effect
on the ultimate result.

as many wounds as the late Gen.

career in politics, later, was highly
honorable. He was always to be
counted on to take stand for purity
IN public life; and, though he was
once elected to office in New York
State, he was by no means in sympa-
thy with the political managers there.
His physical system was severely
shattered by his war experience; but
he still did a good deal of brain work
in the law, and contributed consider
ably to the discussion of public ques-
tons from the higher standpoint. He
was left for dead on the field of Get

of Gen. Gordon's brigade. AS the
Georgian force swept over him, Gen.
Gordon dismounted, and took his

THE COLORED VOTE

The colored voters Of Los Angeles are
up in arms in defense of their right to a
share Of the spoils of office. Hitherto
that vote has been largely commodity
on the market, and an inner circle re-
Joicing in the rather suggestive name of
the six Bit" has been running a kind
Of a bargain counter with it, but in
stead of demanding a division of the
offices as compensation 1t took cash in
hand. The better element of the colored
vote has grown weary of that sort of
thing and some rs per cent of the entire
male population, which numbers nearly
800, have organized themselves into the
"Colored Campaign Club" to place the
colored vote where it will do the most
good
The plan is to turn the colored vote
over to the candidate who will give sat
isfying pledges to divide the minor Of
fees with the colored people somewhat
in proportion to their Importance as a
political factor. AS will be seen, it is a
purely business proposition without q

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Not few Republican newspapers are
condemning President Cleveland be-
cause he does not intimate that he would
approve the Dingley tariff bill now that
doctrine of protection by electing Mr.
Mckinley. In the first place, the votes
cast for Mr.. Mckinley by his own party
would not have elected him. His cleo
ton was secured by Democrats who
were in accord with his position on the
money question, but not at all In SYM
pathy with his tariff theories. Instead
of the president being In honor bound to
permit protection legislation, the Re-
touch the present tariff schedule, except
to change the duties on certain articles
of merchandise that a larger revenue
may be secured. but in doing that the
readjustment Of the customs duties
should be in the direction Of still lower
range of charges The country has evil
dence, furnished by the operation of the
Mckinley act, that high protection is a
bar to imports which necessarily pre-
vents opportunity to collect taxes upon
foreign goods and wares.
The Mckinley act failed. as every we'll
informed person knows, to provide
enough revenue for the current expense
account of the government. It is very
true that all bills were paid promptly,
but they were paid out of surplus funds
which the Harrison Administrative
found in the treasury together with the
national bank note redemption fund,
amounting to s54. 100000 which was made
an asset instead of a debt of the govern
ment. The operation of the Mckinley
act did, however, distribute an enormous
sum of money among the Industrial
monopolies, but the real producers of
wealth were perceptibly worse off at the
expiration of the act than they were
when it was made operative. Hence it
is clear that no Democrat aided in Nc
Kinley's election for the purpose of REIN
stating high protection. and President
The herald., 1896-11-29

Cleveland could not do otherwise than
oppose the Dingley bill.
The reason why the Democratic party
advocates a revenue instead of a pro-
tective tariff is because 1t stands for
principles of government which are an
tagonistic to even the appearance of
class legislation, and locality and indi-
vidual favortsm. The leaders Of the
protectionists never tire Of calling atten-
ton to the enormous increase in the na-
tions wealth under Republican admin
istrations since 1861, and from the totals
of the figures they do prove that pro-
lection has done wonders, but 1t has been
the kind of growth that is altogether
inimical to the welfare of the people as
a whole. The Democratic party could
not indorse policy that would require
all the people to participate inD the. ac
cumdlation of national wealth. and per-
NIT only few to profit by it. and hence
no true Democrat would countenance a
tariff for any purpose other than for
revenue.
Prior to the assumption Of authority
by the Republican party in 1861 the
wealth Of the United States was well
distributed among the people, but the
census of 1890, thirty years later, shows
a most wonderful change in ownership.
The total wealth Of the people in 1890
was 2,os2. 100000, distributed among
13, ,0O0, 900 families, but the official returns
show that IA per cent of the families
owned $4S, ,s67. 100000 of the total wealth;
90 per cent owned ST. 500, ,000, 900, and 1914
per cent owned s1l, ,215 0O0, 900, or in other
words, $4,000 families had $237,143 per
family or 10 per cent of the whole; 1,200,-
900 had s6,25o per family, or II per cent
of the whole, and II, 900 had 1865 per
family, or IS per cent of the whole.
The capitalization of industrial trusts
between 1880 and 1890 was increased
enormously over 100 per cent in some
instances, but fully so per cent of the in
crease was represented by water
stock" 1t is possible that had tariff
for revenue been in operation between
1860 and 1890 the wealth increase of the
country would not have been so great,
but 1t would have been pretty evenly di-
vided as compared to the division that
was made, so, on the whole, the people
would have Jared immeasurably better
every way. 1t is estimated by Thomas
G. Sherman that with the principles OF
the Mckinley act in operation for thirty
years. substantially the entire wealth OF
the country would be owned by less than
one in 500 of the whole male population.
1t is for these reasons that no Democrat
could be protectionist
