II. c. Davis PLUMBERS.
Cleveland Not President In Fiscal
Year of 1892.

Wash. Dispatch to the New York Trib-
mel
Amazement is expressed Lere at
the plumbers made by Henry G. Da-
Wis in his letter accepting he Demo
cratic nomination for Vice President.
The most striking is his selection Of
the fiscal year 1892 as one of the
years of the Cleveland administra ton
and his quotation Of the total and Ter
capita expenditures of that year for
purposes of contrast with ti-.se of
the fiscal year 1904. President Cleve-
land was not elected until November,
1892, four months after the close of
the fiscal year which Mr.. Davis Sc
lects as a sample of his aG4oinjstra-
ton, and was not inaugurated until
March i. 1898, almost the close OF
the fiscal year of 1895, SO that the
first fiscal year Of his term, proper ly
speaking, was that OF 1894. It is
pointed out that by selecting tie third
year of the Harrison administration
he secured an advantage OF $22,o0C,-
600 difference in the total e>pendi-
lures of the government and differ
tia expense. Mr. Davis also utterly
fails to show the increase of eADen-
ditures of the Cleveland administra-
ton over those of the preceding Re
publican administration, ana leaves =
to be inferred by the lnattsntive cad
err that increases in the expenditures
are coincident with Republican rule.
Mr.. Davis reiterates the usual cam
paign fulminations against trusts, but
does not suggest a remedy. He was
probably restrained from prescribing
the Republican remedy of federal
prosecution of contracts in restraint
of trade by the Albany Democratic
platform, and that assurances Of Par
kers managers that the Presidential
candidate will hold that federal pros
ecution of corporations chartered by
the State is a violation of the Consul
tuition. In fact, it is remarked, Mr..
Davis follows his arraignment Of the
trusts with paragraph on Violations
of the Constitution, apparently in
tended to reassure any tilnorous CON
3tributors to the Democratic campaign

The Last Resort.

No further evidence is needed that
the Democratic leaders are demon al
lied and in desperation than the an
nouncement that Judge Parker is to
take the stump. From the very open
ing of the campaign until the present
time the country has been told that
New York, New Jersey and Connec-
ticut were certain and sure for the
Democracy. There was no element
of doubt in the situation
Now "a change has come over the
spirit of their dreams" Judge Parker,
who, according to plans conceived
three months before the election, a
time when the Democrats always win
by a lofty position, wholly aloof from
anything smacking of a vulgar :rram,
bling for votes, is to take the stump in
all these three certain and sure
States. The exigencies of toe stu
alton demand that he get cut and
hustle for votes with all the earnest
ness of an aspirant for the Office of
justice of the peace or pathmaster.
More than this, former President
Cleveland is to speak in New To.k
and preside over a meeting in New
Jersey. Carl Schurz is to assist, and
every possible agency is to be set to
work to bring about Democratic sue
cess. All this is too late to accom-
plish its object, if, indeed, accomplish
ment were ever possible. Judge Par
ker has already said too much in this
campaign. All he can do now is
either to retract what he has said,
which will make him contemplate. or
to say more in the same line, which
will make him ridiculous. The Demo
cratic jig is up.-Pittsburg Times. I.

sANTo DOMINGO FRAUDS.
First Effect of American Interven-

CAPE HAITIEN, Haiti, Oct. 29.-
Advices received from Monte Cristi,
Santo Domingo, announce that John
T. Abbott, the American agent in
charge OF the customs house at Puerto
Plata, and J, =. Strickland, the agent
in charge of the Monte Cristi customs
house, both in the interests OF the
commission which awarded $500, 444
to the Santo Domingo Improvement
Company, of New York, for seizure
of its property during revolution,
have discovered important frauds in
the customs service, which is imper-
fectly organized, and which they
have instructions to reform.
1t is estimated that receipts at the
customs houses will now exceed by
25 per. cent. those produced under
the regular administration of Gus

pressed upon the mind Of every Re
publican: We can win, but we have
not won yet General Early. during
battle in the Valley Of Virginia,
thought he had defeated his enemy,
and he stopped fighting and began
celebrating. A quick, determined
foe opposed him. and although the
retreat had begun. he saw the OPP
portunity, turned back, and gave
Early the worst whipping of his life.
The Republican party is now In the
position of General Early We have
the enemy on the retreat, but II we
stop, he may turn back and defeat us.
Let us take no chances. Until the
going downof the sun on election
day. let every Republican stick to his
work. Stick as though life depended
on it. Much has been done, much
remains to do. In this campaign
every man has more to do than cast
his vote right. He must appoint him

about among your neighbors and see

not quite made up his mind on some
point which affects his ballot Go
to see him; talk it over calmly, in

the matter up for him. Try it:
Every Republican votermust go to

not make General Early's mistake

not done it yet. Our enemy is not
to be despised. The Democrats are

made in this State. They are fight

fighting for ours Make no mistake.
A defeat for US would not kill the
Republican party. It is not SO easily
Killed But it would probably be a
long time before we could come up
again with chances on our side. Be

one Republican vote be lost which it
is possible to get and hold
