JULY 4. 1888. DAT. Editor. PAPER SfiT.Y olo." ™ &£jk CO.*9 Newspaper Advertising (JO^raoe^Uwt^where^ertislng YORK* may be From the Chloafo Mail. Vkat the Oatlook la. A correspoaden* writes to the Mail •sktng for a candid statement as to the relative chances of suooess of the Re­ publican and Democratic parties In November next. This, In the Mail's opinion, Is not a difficult task so far as the present condition of things goes. Here Is the showing: Electoral Dem states Vote flflTTbe right thing for Cleveland to do low, would be to withdraw and ttto« save his friends the expense of • campaign. It would be a patriotic act that would go thundering down the ages like a pension veto.--JSx, MTElght years ago Levi P. Morton, the next Vice Presl Jent^of the United States, fitted out the ship Constella­ tion with food for the starving people of Ireland. This benefaction, which undoubtedly saved many lives, oo*t tl*e, donor abont $50,000. >p.! California Colorado Illinois Iowa Kansas Maine Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Nebraska. ... .••••• Nevada ... New Hampshire.... Ohio Oregon ... Pennsylvania...... Rhode Inland ermont Wisconsin......... 'The New York Sun calls atten­ tion to the fact that the Republican party is now, for the first time in eight years, united and Its factions reconcil >d. The Sun should have also •tated that such harmony means that $T»w York is Republican again as It was in 1880. when Garfield^carried the State by 21,000 majority in spite of the Morey letter and other frauds in New tirk City. SVIt Is dangerous to belffted Into fame. The N. Y. Sun reports some wy damaging stories about Gen. Flsk. the Prohibition candidate for the Presidency. It Is claimed that his speculations in Wall street have not been of such a character as to elevate him in the estimation of hon­ est men. As the Prohibitionists de* light In criticising the character oi the candidates of other parties they may expect something In return. The y should take their medicine ttke little men. p#*The charge of extravagance wade by the Illinois Democrats against the last Republican Legisla tore of this State has proved to be a veritable boomerang for them and their gubernatorial candidate. General Palmer. The rate of the last State tax was 53 cents on the one hundred dollars and this rate, the Democrats cUlru, was exorbitant. But when old General Palmer was Governor of Illi­ nois, in 1870, the rate of the State tax was 66 cents on the 9106; the next year It was 90 cents, and, in 1872, it was 75 cents. la view of this comparison, Gen. Palmer oan scarcely gain any •oteB by claiming that the 53 cents rate Is extravagant while the faet re mains that during his official term as Governor the rate wes very much higher. & f flVFrom the Democratic New York Smn Free trade means putting all the laboring men of the world upon one level of competition. Protection ueaos restricting the competition Among laborers to those living la onr own country, and the consequence of such restriction Is that wages remain at a high level; whereas, if the coape tition of all the laborers in the world Iras allowed to operate here, they Would steadily fall to the lowest level. This is the reason why the working- men of this country are better paid, are more prosperous, live In a better manner, are better educated and bring op their children with more of hope and ambition than belongs to working men In any other country. This is why the workingmen of the United States like the American syste m of protec­ tion, and dislike the British 9yi|£gy free-trade. *'• > CHEAPER POSTAGE. The reduction of letter postage to | cent, as advised in the Republican ' gtatform. Is an excellent idea. : Cheaper postage would wipe out fonslderable portion of the surplus money now collected under onr reve* tuie law, without disturbing American Industry. V Cheaper postage would bo a decided relief to all "consumers*V-who number into the millions. As a plan to promote freer Inter­ course among the people, greater facility in the transaction of business and the spread of Intelligence, cheaper postage would be a national blessing. Better, freer postage facilities In >lfduclng the surplus, than freer en* trance Into the American markets of foreign articles, such as are being pro duced and manufactured by American Industry! .Rfff Every man who spent any tftne in Chicago during the convention knows the following; from the Chicago Tribune to be literally true: Neal Dow the Maine temperance and prohibition leader, is reported to have Indulged in fhe following language in the course of * recent Interview: "The drunken •cene among the delegates at Chicago fcave never been equalled in the his tory of Republican conventions." The facts are that never In the history of *uy perty has there been a great na tional convention in connection with which there was less drinking, com jpfratively speaking, than the lost Chi Mgo convention. The delegates theta- Mlves were a remarkably sober set of tnon. There were no scenes in the convention. There were no signs of Intoxication among the delegate# Bishop Fowler of the Methodist church remarked to one of the officers of the convention that ho never before saw •o many clear oomplexioned, healthy aad apparently temperate men in any pottle gathering a« he witnessed UhlB the auditorium building WM little drunkenness in the Thoro was no disorder.

(16 The total number of votes In the electoral college is 401; necessary to eleqU-201,^ There Is not much doubt as the correctness of classification which appears above. Democrats may claim Michigan as doubtful, and Re­ publicans may claim West Virginia, but the only states where, at the pres­ ent time, the advantage Is not with one party or the other are the four here classed as doubtful. Reasoning must be in relation to the outcome in these states. If the Republicans carry No# York they win the presidency; if they lose New York and Connecticut but carry Iudlana and New Jersey they win; if they lose both New York and New Jersey and carry Indiana and Connec tlcut they win. On ttie other hand, if the Democrats carry only New York they lose; if they carry both New York and New Jersey, and neither Connecticut nor Indiana, they lose; if they carry New York and Connecticut, and neither New Jersey nor Indiana, they lose; if they carry Indiana, Con­ necticut, and New Jersey, and do not carry New York, they lose. The Democrats, to win, must, in short, carry New York and Indiana of the doubtful states, or New York, Con­ necticut. and New Jersey, With the prospe ;t in each of the four deubttul stales Republicans have no reason to be dissatisfied. The bit­ terest mugwump in New York has nothing to say against Harrison, and only those ot the group will remain with the Democracy who hapt>en to be with that party on the tariff issue; the Republican factions of the state are united for the first time in years and will work enthusiastically and deter­ minedly together for victory; Morton, the Republican candidate for the vice- Presidency, is deservedly popular and is a power; the voice of Blaine will be heard in the canvass, and the Irish- American voters recognize in Harrison bis legitimate heir where their inter­ ests are to bo conserved. New York should be carried by the Republicans. Indiana is the home of Harrison. He ran ahead of his ticket when be ran for governor. He Is trusted and believed in there, as be deserves. The Demo* cracy of the state is split Into factions. The Gray men went home bitter from the St. Louis convection. Even in the brief interval since the Republican convention the wave of enthusiasm over the ticket has swelled to grand proportions. Indiana will support her son. If the tariff issue should have force anywhere. If men should bo Republi­ cans from interest if nothing more, centainly it should be the case in Con necticut and New Jersey. Free trade means for those states financial disas­ ter, swift and certain; the closing of manufactories, and the Idleness and suffering of the masses. The people of those states are not without intelli gence, and they will not vote for their own bankruptcy. So stand the Republican and Demo­ cratic parties to-day. W ith admlra ble candidates and a platform which they consider best for the interests ot the country, the Republicans expect to win. With thousands of officehold­ ers working to retain their places foui years longer, the Democrats are not less confident. The Mail Is confident as to the issue. Yoc ask whence comes our Candida Our answer is to you £ •, - lie comes from Indiana, And his name is "Tippecanoe? Harrison! A COMMON-SENSE REMEDY.
