TO DIsFRANCHISE FARMERS,
Controller Grout Explains How Demo.
Gratis Will Capture New York State.
New York Herald.

New York will be taken over into the
Democratic column next year. according to
Controller Edward M. Grout, who is also
of the opinion that the State will remain
at its new political mornings for many
more years than it has been safely Repub-
lican. Mr.. Grout yesterday announced that
the first Democratic Legislature will pass
laws which will result practically in the
disfranchisement of thousands of farmers,
with the consequent result of destroying
the heavy upstate Republican ma jorities.
Mr.. Grout delivered himself of his politi-
cal representations in the course of a gen.
eral. conversation with reporters for vari-
Gus newspapers. He expressed the belief
that New York State will give it's electoral
vote for the Democratic candidate for the
presidency, whoever he may be; elect
Democratic Governor and a Legislature
which will have a working Democratic ma
jority in each branch.
Republican rule and misrule in this
brought to an end. That is of the
things which can be read from the recent
election in this city.
vision to see that New York is tired of
the domination of the Republican machine
To make Democratic victory easier the Re-
publicans are engaged in factional fight
which certainly will cost the party thou
sands Of votes next November. All signs
point to a Democratic national victory, and
this State will do more than its share to
bring that result TO pass.
mot only will the Democrats carry New
York for their national ticket, but they will
will be sent to Albany and Democratic
Legislature will be there to give support
to him. This will mean a new era for the
State.
Under Republican rule entirely too much
relative power has been possessed by what
are known as the agricultural counties.
That will be remedied as soon the Dem
ocrats take power. Registration and cleo
ton laws have been passed for the bene-
fit of New York city. while the farmers
have been left alone, and the result has
been some of the most crooked work at
the polls ever known. 1t is right and proper
that the entire State should have one law
governing registration. Such a law will
be passed and then the agricultural voters
will have to register, just as do the city
voters.
THAT will mean an end to much of the
| illegal voting in the country, and it will
| also have tendency to greatly reduce the
| country vote. The farmer considers it a
hardship to give up one day for the sake
| of his vote. When he has TO register the
| hardship will be doubled, and thousands
| will refuse to sacrifice their interests even
for the sake of the Republican party. After
| that is done it will be more than a decade
before another Republican Governor of New
York State will be elected.

A NEW INDUSTRY.



Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A new industry. productive Of not much
money. but prolific of inebriation, has sud
denly sprung up in Cleveland. Evidences
of its existence first became apparent in the
Office OF the county auditor recently. The
county auditors office Is made the distrib-
uting point for enormous quantities ut df s0 OF mat
propriated by the State Legislature. Tables
stacked high with this matter stand in con-
spicuous places about the courthouse and

new industry by the mysterious way in
which these books rapidly disappeared soon
after the supply was replenished every

ports, In fact. although put up In attractive
form and bound handsomely in cloth, were
not In demand at all. There was a marked
depression In the call for reports and Audi
tor Wright sighed every time he passed the
undiminished store. Consequently when
the books started to go rapidly and faster
than fresh supplies could be carted up out
OF the basement, IL occasioned not little
surprise. The explanation was not far
to seek.
The literature was being taken out and

money, but to saloon keepers about town.

The Migrants have found a veritable
