NEW YORK Press: The spectacle of a robust and roaring spoilsman like Candidate Stevenson posing on a platform which seriously declares its devotion to the sacred cause of civil- service reform is enough to make even the Tammany tiger forget his many wounds and split his lonesome ribs with laughter. As a serio-comic act in politics it beats anything the country has ever seen. THE Democratic boomers loudly proclaim that Arkansas will give Cleveland 30,000 majority. This is Just as important as the assertion that "Vermont will go for Harrison. GENTLEMEN who love Grover Cleve­ land for the enemies he has made should go among the old soldiers. There they will find abundant reason for loving the fat fisherman of Gray Gables. THE stuffed prophet has evidently been successfully stuffed down the throat of your Uncle Charles A. Dana, of the esteemed New York Sun, and the dose is accepted as gracefully as possible. MR. STEVENSON should hayft re­ signed the presidency of that non­ union co^ll mine before he became a candidate. It ipakes the Democratic editors who have been piping a shrill discord against Mr. lleid look foolish. OVER 500 Confederate war claims have been placed on the calendar of the present House for favorable con­ sideration, and only ninety bills have been reported in behalf of Union sol­ diers. This contrast tells a// story that needs no comment. THE National Republican League has issued a statement which is of in­ terest to all Republicans, now that the national campaign has begun. *It reads as follows: "The hope <jf the party lies in the expansion of a stal­ wart Republican press. The Repub­ lican who reads, or otherwise beips to support a Democratic journal, to the exclusion of one of his own party newspapers, is untrue to the Republic can cause." THE St. .Paul Globe states editori­ ally that General Harrison has a bet­ ter show of carrying New York thtfn Indiana. But ex-Senator Yoorhees, the Democratic sycamore of the Wabash, says that Cleveland is not in it with Harrison in Indiana, and ex-Gov. Gray, who so narrowly missed the Democratic nomination for Vice President, says that Cleveland will drop 10,000 votes to thej-ear of Har­ rison in the Hoosier State. On the Globe's theory, therefore, Harrison's victoryv in New York will surpass even the 14,000 plurality of 1888. The Globe's view is undoubtedly cor­ rect. It is corroborated, moreover, by the testimony of the entire New York Democratic delegation, by ed­ itors Dana and Watterson, by Brice and Springer, and by the sentiments of New York laborers and veterans. J Democrats Once In Power Will Be m for­ midable Foe--The Iitnue Welcomed l»y All lt«public»nj-Tlie i*< dpwHslty." Important of the Democrats are fond of pointing to tho Cleveland administration as proof thata member of their party may be put in the president.al chair without Mexican- izing the country and raising general sheol. That is true when there is a Republican senate 1o hold him level. Cleveland was (in this wayt so com­ pletely handicapned during his term that he could d > comparatively little harm. His administration threatened and fumed, and d such tjiiiigs as the complete stoppage of silver coin­ age, the retirement and eancelIat:on of the greenbacks and the destruction of the gold and silver certificates, together with a reduction of the tariff that would have cut Northern labor to the lone. But fortunately a Republican senate stood between the Cleveland adminis­ tration and the accomplishments of its des.res. It was virtually without power to do anything but divide the spoils. The celerity and enthusiasm displayed in ousting Union nun and iissg ex-reb(f»l men to office showed how the Cleveland administration worked in the one field where it? hands were free. But if the Democracy should carry the election this fall no such period of "in­ nocuous desuetude" as prevailed from 1$85 to 1889 could be expected. A vic­ tory this fall would give the Democracy both branches of Congress as well as the Presidency. They could proceed without let or hindrance to carry out all their policies. Once armed with com­ plete power there would bo a dropping of masks and such a display of Demo­ cratic purposes as has not been seen in twenty-five years. If Cleveland goes into the White House next March he will not be hampered as he was before, when his term was as powerless to en- dent shall bo President, if sueh number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed, and if no person have such majority, then from the per­ sons having the highest number not esf ceedlng three, on the list of those voted for, as President, the House of Repre­ sentatives shall choose immediately by ballot the President." In an election by the House each State has one Vote. If at the close of the campaign it shall be found that there has been no choice, the electors from the Democratic States might cast a certain number of votes for Hill, for illustration, thu» giving him a chance to be voted for In the House, when that body proceeded to select a President from one of the three persons having the largest number of votes. Suppose, for example, that the Repub­ licans should have 200 votes, the Demo­ crats 18", and the third party 64. x The Democratic vote could be cast equally for ClrVoiiuiu miu Hill in ine electoral college and thus bring them both before the House as two of the persons out of the three, leaving the highest number of votes from whom a selection is to be made. It has come to be an unwritten law that electors shall cast their vote for . their party's candidate, but there is no j victory compulsion about it and with Hill to manipulate them under such circum­ stances there la no telling where the election would go. _ Tho point to emphasize, however, is ihai every vote Oaoi iur a third candi­ date In the corning campaign is an indi­ rect but no less effective vote for the Democratic party. The only hope of a third par^ is to defeat Harrison. It can make no pre­ tense to the hope of succeeding itself. It can assist in electing a Democrat by throwing the election into the House and this it will proceed to do under the guise of hating both parties so bad that it will support neither. Of course in this great and glorious country every man has the right to vote for anybody or for nobody as he pleases. But when a person comes forward under the pretense of doing a work for reform and advises his neigh bora to vote for the Alliance party, or the Labor party, or the Temperance party, or the People's party, on the plea ^NN {• MyQL vitrei^ iWRe.

At the present tijne it is al­ most impossible to tell from the incomplete rosters whether a man who may claim or have it claimed for him that he was in the Union army is entitled to the honor or not, since few States have published alphabeti­ cal lists of the names of the men who served in their organizations.

Mighty different will be the situation of the Democrat elected this tall if that calamity is to happen. Having full power he and his party will be compelled to use it to the full limit in effecting the spoliation of Northern labor and industries in the supposed in­ terest of the cotton South. Protection will then be attacked as wolves atta k lambs. The destruction of manhood suffrage will be made more complete, and the violation of the laws and the Constitution made more systematic and more thorough. The election laws will be so changed that the Republican party cannot socure power again in a quarter of a century. No matter what majori­ ties the Republican party may get, and no matter h<rw the people may rally to its support In the effort to stop the spoliation of their labor and their in­ dustries, it will bo defeated in conse­ quence of Democratic legislation en­ acted to facilitate corruption of the suf­ frage, false counting and the making of false returns. If the Republican party is evler to make a fight for its life, it will be this fall. • We Welcome the In«ue. • The first section, first paragraph, of the Democratic national platform "re­ affirms the pr;ncip!es of the party as formulated by Jefierson and exemplified by the long and illustrious line of his successors in Democratic leadership from Madison to Cleveland." And then it proceeds in its tarifr plank to repudiate the cardinal principles of the great statesmen whose names it invokes. To be honest the pla'form should have de­ clare!: "While we cherish the memory and honor the succe-soPthe great Dem­ ocrats, Jefferson, Madison, ami Jackson, to whose careers we point with pride, we nevertheless deplore their steadfast ad­ vocacy of protection to American labor and industry, that pernicious and unjust America i system which wo promise to repeal as scon as we are intiusted with power."

When the McKinley law was enacted in 1890 the reciprocity clauses were ap­ plauded by Democrats as a "concession to free trade." In time, however, as it appeared that the administration would make that policy successful and a popu­ lar element in the canvass, these same Democrats have changed their tune, and now they denounce the "deadly policy of reciprocity." Recent foreign trade returns show how "deadly" the policy has been. The agreement with Germany did not go into effect until February 1, 1892. Among the articles which have been ad­ mitted into that country from the United States at reduced rates of duty, since that date, are breadstuffs. Note the result: From Feb. 1 to April 30, 1892, the value of corn, wheat, and wheat flour sent to Germany from this coun­ try was $5,750,4%., During the corres­ ponding months of the year 1891 the value of corn, wheat, and wheat flour sent from the United States to Germany was $304,278--an increase, in three months, under reciprocr procity, of $5,446,188, or about 1,?£ per cent.! During the whole §rear of 1891 the valuer breadstuffs shipped to Germany from this country was $2,771,- 000 less than it was during three months under reciprocity. If the deadly policy continues at the same ratio for the year, the increased demand of Germany alone for corn amLwiieat will be more than I $2-5,000,000. The American farmer will view this variety of the "d« adly" with equanimity. The reduction of duties on breadstuffs imported into Cuba from tha United States went into effect Jan. 1, 1832, four months after the reduction on corn and corn-meal. During the four months which ended April 30, 1892, the value of corn and wheat flour imported by Cuba help elect him now.

THIS is the judgment pronounced by the plain people who have been ill- pleased during tha« past weeik at the machination and maneuverings they saw on foot In Minneapolis to defeat the President. Fortunately a majority of the delegates proved to be entirely of this mind, an;l only one ballot was needed to place Benjamin Harrison in nomination for a second term as Presi­ dent of the United States.--Philadelphia Press. HAD the delegates at Minneapolis been in close touch with the thousands whom they represented they could not more perfectly have expressed the wishes of an overwhelming majority of the Republican party., There has never been a time when President Harrison's splendid administration and exalted position as a statesman have not been a source honest pride to his country­ men.--Rochester Democrat and Chron^, icle.
