The Republicans. therefore. start in
with 219 assured votes. against ISL for the
Democrats. The Republicans have. there
fore, only 20 votes to get out Of the alleged
''doubtful' States. where the Democrats
must get SO.
Consequently, the Republicans could
afford to lose New York, and win by carry
ing two Or more of the States placed in
the doubtful column. Wisconsin and West
Virginia would just give it to them, or
New Jersey and Maryland.
On the other hand, if the Democrats
carry New York they will still be lacking
AZ votes to make up their necessary IS
additional ones, and will have to carry,
not only Maryland. but substantially all
of the other States to get the required
number
This is the way the Baltimore Sun
reasons:
'In 1884. 1888 and 1892 the five Eastern
States OF Delaware. Connecticut, Mary
land, New Jersey and West Virginia voted
invariably in the Electoral College for
Grover Cleveland. and in the two Bryan
Mckinley campaigns all five OF these
States shifted their vote to the Republican
nominee on account of the silver issue. 1t
is believed conditions are such now that all
five of these States can be regained for the
Democrats. and, if so. the chances of
Democratic success will be exceedingly
bright. These FIVE States and the solid
South alone almost gave Cleveland the
election on three successive occasions.
Cleveland would have won in 1888 if he
had carried New York. The only States
he did carry were the solid South and the
quintet composed of Delaware, Connect
cut MARYLAND Now IarSav and West
Virginia. The 30 votes Of these five States
and the 1870 votes OF the solid South gave
Mr. Cleveland his total of 168 votes. He
needed only POI to he elected. and il he
had carried New York he would have had
2O4. or 3 more than the necessary number
In 1884 Cleveland won by carrying the
solid Sonth and New York. in addition to
the five States mentioned. This combina
ton gave HIM 2H electoral votes, and he
also carried Indiana, with Is electoral
votes. giving him a grand total of 219. but
he did not have ITO carry Indiana to win,
because without 1t he would have had
three more electoral votes than he needed
The defect in this reasoning is that con-
sditi0ns outside of the silver issue have
greatly changed in those States apparently
making them, with the exceptions of Mary
land. as reliably Republican rs Ohio or
Michigan. For example, about "a per
cent. Of the voters of Delaware have regl-
| elections for number of years. The same
in Connecticut. The percentage Of the
voters voting the Republican ticket at all
elections in New Jersey has been steadily
rising for eight years. and was over 81
per cent. in 1900. The steady increase in
West Virginia has been almost as great.

THE MEXICAN PRESIDENCY.

Of course. it is we'll known that Mexico
is no more of a Republic than Russia. In
fact. President Daz is much more of an
absolute ruler than the Gar Of Russia,
because Diaz is q man Of the greatest
force of character and ability, and rules by
his own personal will, whereas the Car is
merely fgurehead of bureaucratic ring.
The bureaucracy rules in the Cars name,
without his knowing much about its work
Mgs, and with no perceptible influence
upon its acts. President Diaz has done a
wonderful work in Mexico. For nearly a
quarter of a century he has compelled blind
obedience to his will. He has tolerated no
rivals, and exhibited no scruples in get
ting them out of his way. but he has given
his country the most absolute peace, the
greatest honesty in public affairs, and q
prosperity far excelling that which any
Spanish-American country has ever known.
He has been particularly friendly to Amer
icaAS, and they have gone thither with
iren~pse amount of capital to develop the
splendid resources of the country.
been highly pleased at Diaz's administra-
ton, and readily acquiesced In his high
handed continuances of himself in power.
Their only misgiving was as to his ad-
vanced years.-he is now 74,-and what
would happen if he should drop off. This
he has recognized, and has made arrange
ments for his successor. He has had HIM
self reelected and the Constitution amend
ed so as to give himself term of six years
instead of four. He has also had another
amendment added to the Constitution Civ
| ing Mexico Vice-President, to succeed
him, and has selected for this Office Ramon
Corral. 1t had been expected that he
would choose Jose l. Limantour, who is the
ablest man in his Cabinet, and who has done
as Minister Of, Finance. q world Of work
in developing the country. He is wealthy,
highly educated, has sound political views,
and has changed, the vicious financial con-
dition of Mexico, modelling it after that of
the United States. But Limantour is of
French blood, and therefore unacceptable
to the Mexicans, and 1t il felt that he is
not man of sufficient force and initia-
tive to cope with the turbulent Mexican
politicians. On the other hand, Ramon
Corral is yopng,-but little over 5O,-and
firm, courageous, enterprising executive
He has shown these qualities as Governor
of States and ,as Minister of Interior. 1t Is
believed that at any time that Diaz should
die or become Incapable, the present policy
will be continued with undated frmness.
Gen. Diaz intends to test this by taking
trips to the United States and Europe,
leaving the Government in the hands of
Ramon Corral.

ACCORDING to confession of Liant X.
Salisbury, ex-City Attorney. Grand Rapids
Mich, developed in four years system of
graft not surpassed in the largest cities,
where graft is an established institution
Salsbury's downfall began April II, 1900,
when the Council decided to advertise for
bids to furnish the city with water from
Lake Michigan, 80 miles away Among the
bidders was +. G. Barton, of Omaha who
put up $4,000 in cold cash. This was in
an envelope handed to Salisbury, and by
him put in bank. Barton later became
distrustful, and upon examination found
that the money had been replaced by a
package of worthless paper. He had SAILS
bury arrested, and this was the first step in
uncovering a sensational series of frauds.
1t seems that Salisbury and the teller of
the bank had been specializing wildly and
losing heavily. They had taken money from
the bank to meet the demands upon them,
and were tempted by a 100000 corrup-
ton fund from New York parties 1t seems
that Salisbury had six companies on the
string to furnish him money for this pur-
pose. Since his confession and the INQUEST
of the Grand Jury. II officials. Aldermen,
newspaper men. and members of the Legis-
latnre. have confessed to have received
from 500 to 81 800 each for helping along
this scheme 10 defraud the city. The in.

The boom still boometh. The foreign
commerce of the United States in the fiscal
year 1904 is the largest in its history; the
exports of manufactures are larger than
in any preceding year, and the exports of
domestic products exceed those of any
other country. Great Britain has been for
a century or more the largest exporter of
domestic products of any country in the
world. In 1893 we passed her for the first
time. but she recovered her lead the next
year, only to be overtaken and passed by
MS in 1900 and 1902. In19O3 she passed us
