ABSENCE OF TIE ISSUE


Caused Republicans to Apparently Gain
Votes in Kansas, While Fusionists Gained
Offices.
Kansas City. November 1.-Two
thirds of the los Kansas counties so
far reporting show the Republicans
have elected majority of the county
officers. The Republicans also elected
seven district judges and the fusionists
six, a gain of two for the fusionists.
While the returns show q gain in Of
flee for the fusionists over 1896, it is
a fact that they. have lost votes in al
most every county and that the Re-
publicans gained fully 20 per cent. in
the vote compared with last year.
The fusionists admit the Republicans
have gained in votes, but declare it
was caused by many Silver Republic
cans voting for Republican candidates
on personal preference because of the
absence of the silver issue this year.

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.
An Estimate of the Power of Mayor Elect
Van Wyclx to Do GooG for the Democracy

An Estimate of the Power of Mayor Elect
Van Wycl1 to DO GooG for the Democracy
New York, November 4.-The Her.
aid says: More than SO 900 persons will
directly Or indirectly draw pay from
the city in the first administration of
the Mayor Of Greater New York. The
salaries of $4,000 Of these, whose
names will be actually ON the city's pay
roll, will aggregate 1888, 100000. Part
of this amount represents the salaries
and patronage of the other officers
elected on Tuesday, but this is compar-
atively small, most Of the total repre-
senting the patronage of Greater New
Yorks first Mayor, Robert a. Van
Wyck.
A conservative estimate of those who
will draw payment indirectly from the
city through city contracts and the
like, is $4,000 Mayor Strong, at the
time the greater city charter was
passed, estimated this force as eqcal to,
if not exceeding the actual number of
all office-holders.
Second only to the President of the
United States in the value of his patron
age, the first Mayor of the Greater city
is first in the significance Of this pat
ronage. With his colleagues-elect, of
the same political party as himself,
Mr.. Van Wyck can lead an array of
officeholders, and those indirectly en-
ployed by the city as great as the army
of the Potomac.

WHAT THE FARMERS DEMAND.

We said in recent issue Of The
Times that there was no disputing the
fact that the tendency Of the American
people at this day is toward FREQ trade.
BY free trade We do not mean, of course.
the present abolition Of tariff, but that
the tariff tax shall be levied for the Dur-
pose OF revenue only, and not Of protec-
ton. The people are beginning 10 under
stand that while protection does help
4 few and apparently make the favored
Glasses more prosperous, it does not help
the many. and that that policy IS best
which gives the cheapest supplies 10 the
masses.
We have more than once called atten-
ton to the fact that Pennsylvania manu-
facturers are asking that the tariff on
iron and the products of iron be not
changed. And now the Pennsylvania
farmers have been taking a hand IN the
matter. At a recent meeting OF the Leg
islatiye Committee Of the Pennsylvania
Stale Grange most remarkable set Of
resolutions was adopted.
