THE VOTE OF MANHATTAr

Before the late election Republicans
in and out of New York laid strenuous
claims. to the benefit OF the increased
registration in the boroughs OF Man
haitian and the Bronx, and predicted a
largely increased vo.e for Mckinley
over 1896. As matter OF fact, they
got none of the increased regis tration,
but on the contrary lost 3,217 in the
total vote of the two boroughs. The
total Bryan and Mckinley vote in 1896
was 291, 1888. of which Bryan received
1885, 24 and Mckinley 156,35e, a plural
ity for Mckinley of 20,735. In 1900 the
total Bryan and Mckinley vote was
534.0S9, of which Bryan received $780,
947, and Mckinley 15s,142, a plurality
for Bryan of 27.S05. This made a net
loss for Mckinley Of 3.2I7 and net gain
for Bryan OF 1898. and total change
of $3.50 in favor of Bryan. Stating
it another way, Bryan not only gained
the entire increased registration. 1888.
but 2,133 OF an increased vote in ex-
cess of the registration increase. and
the 2,217 Mckinley loss besides. It
will be seen that the prediction Re
publican claim was a totally unwar-
ranted one, and it will be further OBJ
served that Mr.. Richard Croker did

OF the city. And yet we have very
lax state OF public morals, which, go
ing into details, implies that nymphs
du pave are abroad that gambling is
going on, that slot machines are run
ming, that houses of i'll fame flourish,
that the goose" takes a tumble once
in while, that intoxicants are sold
to minors, that the Sunday laws are
not strictly carried out, and so on and
SO forth to the end of the somewhat
attenuated chapter. Under the circum-
stances we may be pardoned for calling
the attention Of the city authorities
having charge of the police department
to the fact that the Intelligencer is OF
the opinion that Wheeling needs some
reformation. The hint may prove sui
ficient-but we doubt it.

ANOTHER RING METHOD.

The Chic county Board of Commits
sioners is nothing if not partisan, I'M
reasonable, unfair and against public
interests. We had a renewed indica-
ton of this rock-ribbed and inherent
tendency and disposition yesterday,
and a more emphatic proof of hide
bound intention to be one-sided was
never before afforded the people of this
tax-ridden and unjustly treated COM
munity.
A few days ago, when certain de-
feated Republican, demanded a re-
count of certain districts, in their own
interests, the Board, being upon the
same side of the political fence, cheer
fully acceded to the request, and at the
same time decided that there should be
no costs upon the contestants, because,
forsooth, the men who hoped to climb
into Office and those composing a ma
jority of the Board. were of the same
political kith and kin. The arrange
ment was an easy one, the public, be
it remembered, paying the members Of
the Board per diem for their services
in conducting the recount in this ac-
commodating spirit.
Yesterday a Democrat, Mr.. Edward
Bearley, candidate for Commissioner III
Union district, demanded arecount, and
10! and behold. a change came over the
spirit OF the Board, and it was decided
that no more recounts would be under
taken unless security for costs WIS
furnished.
You see, the boot was upon the other
foot, and the rule which worked all
right in the cases of the Republican
contestants against Democrats was
found defective and imperative.
If Republican wishes to make
contest as against a Democrat, the way
is made easy, and all his paths are
peace; but, per contra, if a Democrat
wishes to contest the place of a Re-
publican, thorns beset his path, and ie
has stony road to travel, beset with
pitfalls ard money must grease the
way. IN these recount proceedings the
Board sits as a Court. It's pretty
Count. Unfairness is its motto and
partisanship its cardinal principle. 1t
has one measure Of justice for one man,
and another and smaller one for an
other 1t is both bigoted and biased
prejudiced and unfair It is worthy OF
neither respect or credence. 1t is SIM
ply and purely and solely a partisan
body, and VIII receive that profound
contempt 1t so richly deserves.

The wealthy white citizens OF Sayan-

to look after the worldly and spiritual
needs OF the Chinese residents of that
city, have undertaken to care for the
colored deaf mutes, and the Oldest,

that city-the Independent Presbyter-

figure beyond all rhyme or reason,
and yet the InteIligencer says 'faha in
crease does not nearly represent the
increase In population" And at the
moment of writing that assertion the
Intelfigencer man knew that the In
crease in the vote Of the coun-
ty of four years more than
represented the increase in popu-
lation in the ten years from 1890
to 1900. The increase in the popula-
ton of the county in ten years was
$500 in round numbers. The increase
in the vote in FOUR years was 925.
Now. the increase in the population OF
the county in those four years was
certainly not over 1000, which would
make legitimate increase in the vote
of about 400 or $50 at the most. yet an
increase OF more han double the max
imum number is represented by the
Intelligencer to not nearly represent
the increase in population.f what, in
the name Of all that is reasonable and
right, does the IltelMgencer conceive
to be a fair proportion of voters to
population? The Register has shown
that the increased population of 5000
in the city of Wheeling alone resulted
in an increase of 2,033 in the vote
that is, two voters for every five men,
women and children. Yet the Intelli-
gencer insists that an increase OF
voters 10 the tune OF 927 in four years,
as against an increase OF population of
not more than 1000, does not nearly
represent the increase in population"
In the name Of conscience and common
sense and male infants and fair cleo
tons, what would the IntelIigencer
have?

The election settled one thing, and
that is that the army is to remain
in the Philippines for an indefinite
period. That this is true is best shown
by the recent sailing OF a transport

and also a large number OF wives and
children of officers now on duty there.
The colonial policy is evidently to re-
main with us for four years more.

The Increase of the number of votes

with the election of 1895 Is not so large as
was generally supposed. In 1896 the total
Number of votes was 1913. while the 1870

does not nearly represent the increase in
population.
And this Is the sort of stun upon

gods, from Nah to Mahi this is re-
markable statement. The number OF
votes cast in Ohio county in 1896, H.

Heavy Increases in Their Surplus,
Cash. Loan and Deposit Accounts.

NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-The stock market
opened extremely dull, and with limited
and irregular price changes appearing. The
local traction stocks were neglected, with
the exception Of Third Avenue, whi,h
broke rather sharply, and Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, which was fairly strong. The
only considerable dealings in the indus
trial quarter were in Sugar Refining but
the fluctuations in that instance were
limited. The railway list, in the main. was
steady In the absence of any further
definite news from South Africa, the Lon
don stocks were rather stagnant. but
fairly firm. Foreign houses had no con-
siderable orders in this market
The market closed steady and extremely
dull. As a result of the changes shown in
today's bank statement the surplus hold
ings OF the associated banks now amount
to S2g.277. 900 in excess OF the lawful re-
quirements. TOday's statement showed an
increase in the banks cash holdings
amounting to SS.S4S. 900, and of this gain
s. .092. coo appeared in the surplus reserves
The loan account showed an increase Of
s. SIS. 900. which together with the gain in
actual cash, caused deposits to increase
Sl5.00S. .000. For the most part the state
ment was about in line with the general
preliminary estimates The increase in
loan account was rather difficult to account
for in view of the stagnatiCn in the stock
market during the week, and il was COM
monty assumed to indicate the transfer OF
some large loans to the banks from extra
clearing house lenders.
