They come with harrowing tales of
the necessity of lubricating the joints
of the party machinery in their re
pectiTe bailiwicks, else they wHI not
be responsible for the inroads of the
bated "Free Traders." The city of
Brooklyn, for instance, was repre
seoted by a special delegation wh
modestly demanded $50,000 for Im
mediate use. A aa eridence of tbe
difficulties that eomfront them, they
pointed t the fact that the first day
registration in the City of Churchee
bowed an increase or several thou
sand over tbe largest day's rgitra
tiitt of any year previous. Coming
from a Democratic stronghold they
very properly assume that tbi pre
tenth) an unprecedented Democratic
vote. And so it does.
Tbe Democratic leaders do not
think that the enemy will dictate
ill sinews of wsr to any great xU-nt
in tbe Empire BU'e. 1 ne it le is ma
ning too t:roug toward Democratic
triumph to be counteracted in the
short time remaining befor elect'on
It is tbe generally accepted veiw that
this vat fund, which will probably
be swelled to a round million witbio
three . weeks, will be apportioned
among the States of Indiana, New
Jersey and Connecticut with liberal
allowance far tbe Northwestern
Mates that are wavering in their at
(glance to tbe g o. p. It I regarded
as probable also that the Committee
will take a little "flyer" in tbe direc
tion efWewt Virginia, which is the
only Southern State they are pretend
Ing to make a flgM in.
Tbe - industrious statisticians at
Democratic Headquarters smile wbca
asked about these catenations of tbe
enemy. Counting New York and the
South as foregone conclusions, tbey
assert with great earnestness tbst the
deficit of 15 electoral votes will be
mule up several limes over. Indiana,
they say. is quite as Safe as New
York, and just big enough t do tbe
. busiafrsa. Xew atraey and Connect
cut combined also fill tbe bill to a
nicety without the aid of the Hoom
era Then there are California and
Nevada'and the Northwestern States
as a promising Democratic reserve
, fund.
That intermiteot canard about the
retirement of Col. Bnce from tbe
chairmanship of the Democratic
Campaign Committee bobbed np
again yesterday. It was of courts
promptly denied, having not tbe
slightest foundation in tact Col
liriee's friends altri'jute these re
Ports to the persistent and malicious
hostility of The Sun. Instead of be
ing superseded, he has merely been
re enf .reed by Senator Gorman, who
with Chairman Barnom will remain
here from now until election assisting
in the direction 01 toe lampiign.
They believe in short, sharp cam
ptigns up in this couiitry. In this
city five weeks before election, not a
single Congressional nomination has
been ma-te, while all the partiee and
factions are at sea as to the local
tickets. Since Tammany's big chief,
Crokcr reto.ned from his interview
with the President, those people who
bad boiwd for Democra-io Union on
the I or a! nominees have made up their
mindsio be disappointed. Tammany's
decision to ro it alone has been re-
aborted with more noise than usual
and the County Democracy teems
equally obstinate. Tbe President. It

A painful sequel hat come to the
monstrous swindle fwrptwaled by

000, which wm lost in gambling shops
and at horse raoos, lis is now ia tbe
ombi with the nrct-nect of almost
ife servitude before him. The sad
dest part of it is that the misfortunes
of the firm so preyed upon the mind
ol its cashier, Mr. Dodge, that he
lied himself in a fit of temporary
nsanity. The public naturally
umped to the conclusion' that the
cashier was involved in Bedell's pec
ulation!: out aa examination of his
account reveals tbe most scrupulous
exactness.
A bedraggled party of immigrants
who landed at Castle Garden vester-
day, attracted more than usual atten
tion. There were old men and wo
men, but young girls ranging in age
rom is to la years, largely predo
minated. It was ascertained more
by accident than otherwise that the
destination of these people wag Salt
Lake City, and that they were in
charge of two proselyting Elders who
nau Drought them from bwitzland.
Tbe girls frankly admitted their con
versation to the Mormon faith, polyg
amy and all. It is very unlikely
though that they will get any near to
ie temple or the Latter day abaint,
as the case is being officially inveati'
gated.

he cao stop the ravages of the yellow

seems audaciously plausible. By cer

which be claims to have perfected, it
is proposed to manufacture frost, and

wnj the artificial product should not
prove quite as efficacious in lulling

Pretty Plain Talk. -
Pablltbwl bf Bqoet, :. , .
The writer was traveling one day
in July,wih a young daughter seated
alongside in the car. Nearby were
three older girls, old enough to be'
called young lidies, but whose loud
and slangy speech deuied them the
right to be so titled. They would
whisper to each' other suggestively,
then langh boisterously, the while
glancing impudently at gentlemen
opposite. Finally, to the relief of
beir more modest fellow passengers,
they left the tmio at a way ttation.
but not until tbey had made them
selves further diaguating .by heir
effusive and blatant greeting of three
other equally ill bebaved, of their
own sex tnd are, who were there to
meet them Oo the station platform,
with leers and antics for attracting
attention at the train windows, they
dbntinued to advertise their immod
esty nntilwe were, happily, out of
ight and hearing.
"rapa, I am so ashamed 01 their
Condu t; won't you print something
about it that can be sent to them to

This "freshness" to ass ft word
from their own vernacular is a loath
some aoci.J disease, never so violent
or prevalent aa within very recent
years. It appears from the wide ep
idemicofil to be ae contagious as
small pox, and it will as ioeradicably
rear the characters of iu victims as
would small pox their ftce. Girls
and bovt, do not be "freh," nor
loud, nor "horsey," nor "slangy,"
Do not advertise yourself as amateur

The Democratic candidate for au'

valiant service on the ' stump. Dr.
Sanderlin's speeches are positively an
educatiot for the people. Not only
is the Doctor a thoroughly logical
mao, but he is possesd of vast learn
ing; and his speeches are full of pow
erful argument put with that ease and
grace that ran only come from pro
found acholarahip. ,
Dr. Sandetlin it no mounteback
politician engaged in a mere tussle
or political pap. ' He is a br ad-
minded humanitarian, who seeks tbe
good of peaple, irrespective of creeds
or color. Tbe tricks of politicians are
as foreign to bim and his method J as
are the sleight of hand performances
of a three card monte man.

Th Republican have four years

the contr.tr such chtnges as have

last year to 8). The result in UtrU
ford is substantially th: asnit as last
year, the Republicans elec ing two

The vote was small through mt the
State, owing to the bad weather.
In moit or the towns the chief con
