MOVEMENTS OF THE CITY DE. MOCIiACY. The Democracy of Philadelphia are in tribu lation. The new Registry law will greatly diminish their coveted opportunities for per petrating frauds; and their local ticket is composed of men so odious that they cannot even command the support of their fellow partisans. They will not reooive, as in 18G8, aid from the National Government; they can gain no prestige from the personal popularity of any of their city nominees; and in view of the late experiences in the court, it is doubt ful whether Mike Fitzgerald can bring over reinforcements from New York on election day, or whether false personations can be safely attempted. Their "best holt" now is in the fact that they have captured the police and the Sheriff's posse, and if the worst comes to the worst, they can confidently cal culate that the moral influence of the autho rities charged with the maintenance of peace and order will not be thrown against them. This strong point, however, is reserved for the actual day of conflict, for if they betrayed, in advance, too much reliance upon it, moaus might be devised to counteract it. The first great object of their attacks is the Registry law. They antagonized it in the Courts, but this campaign proved fruitless. Then came the struggle in the proceedings be fore the Board of Aldermen, in which the in vincible Fourth ward leader bore a conspicu ous part. He contends for the right of the Democratic aldermen to name all the Demo cratic election officers. The Republicans as set! that they have appointed Democrats to all the positions to which partisans of that school have a valid claim, but McMullin re plies that he and his fellow Democratic alder men are the only true judges of Democratic qualifications, and he denounces as "Republi cans" men who have long been known as active and consistent but at the same timj honest and fair-minded members of the Demo cratic party. The Republican aldermen de clare their policy to be to act "fairly and honorably with the Democratic party, to put none in as Democrats who are not Demo crats," but at the same time to select from the "party such men as have not hitherto had anything to do with elections;" and, in view of the disclosures recently made of the infa mous frauds of 18G8, there are good reasons for this precaution. While McMullin is battling for the favorite old election officers before the Board of Al dermen, John Hamilton, Jr., Chairman of of the Democratic Executive Committee, is sounding the slogan against the law in an address. He denounces it as an "iniquitous" measure, enacted by a corrupt Legislature for the purpose of disfranchising every citi zen who fails to get his name upon the regis try lists. He grows especially eloquent over the hardships of the seamen. He says: "To add still further to their infamy, they have made war upon the brave sailors of the coun try," and, by the Registry law, "they dis franchise four-fifths of the gallant tars who float our flag on every sea, and whose bold enterprise and daring have made it the ad miration of the world." This is first-rate reading, and it is gratifying to know that Hamilton thinks so much of the flag as to take this intense interest in the welfare of the sailors who carry it round the world. Could there possibly be a more delicate touch of patriotism ? Unhap pily we fear that in this instance echo is re luctantly compelled to answer yes. Hamilton and his party were decidedly hostile to the exercise of the right of suffrage by the sdI diers who on land were bearing the flag aloft in the midst of a thousand dangers; why, then, should he be so anxious that the men who sail under it on shipboard should all be permitted to vote ? Let the history of past election contests answer. Of all aids and accessories of election frauds none fruitful as sailor boarding-houses. are so Their and of population is necessarily transient, uuch a character that antecedents be succepsfully traced. Fifty cannot Mike Fitzgeralds and their accompanying crowds could easily be stowed away in these hospitable mansions in time do help the De mocracy in a close contest; and if they had never sailed on anything more boisterous than a raging canal, they could still be made to do fall Democratic duty as "gallant tars" just arrived from a long cruise. The bathos of Hamilton, Jr., is touching, but it is a pity that his love for the flag only gained its pre- sent pitch of excitement when he found that the Democracy might lose votes through its deprivation of the old facilities for fraud. Next to his love for the sailors, Hamilton is solicitous for the welfare of those who board at hotels or publio houses. If they are bona fide voters, they can easily have their names placed on the registry lists by adducing pro per proofs of residence and qualifications. But inasmuch as thousands of bogus voters have on different occasions been manufactured at thA Astftblishments. new safeguards to the purity of the ballot-box were undoubtedly no eessary. Hamilton, Jr., however, appears as the champion of all boarders at public houses He says that none of them "are reputable enough to be on the original assessors' lists," and that they should "be prepared at the polls to resent the inmilt put upon them by the law. Thus out of the nettle danger tho shrewd Chairman of the City Executive Com wit tee proposes to pluck the flower safety. He iauts to rally round the Democratic bau- j: '.lie every boarder and every friend of the down trodden boarder, as well as the usual cohorts which follow the standard of that orga nization. He concludes his address with this Im pressive invocation: "All that is wanted is Action 1 Action ! Action I Make ft grand rally for Tacker and victory I" Hundreds of witnesses have told the publio by what sort of action the Democracy carried the city 'ast year. Now, alas! the Supreme Court will issue no new naturalization papers, and the registers will watch the assessors' lists closely. Still, the ingenuity of Democratic portisans is not easily exhausted, and new modes t f "action" may speedily be devised. Indeed, one form, the establishment of "club law," has already been proposed. The most ominous and peculiar portion of this address is the last line, "Make a grand rally for Tackcr and victory !" Is Packer the only man worth striving for ? Did not Per shing deserve a word of comfort ? And must the whole ticket, created by the assembled wisdom of the party, be remorselessly slaugh tered? Rich as Packer is, can the party afford to concentrate all its strength in this barefaced manner upon its millionaire and turn the cold shoulder upon every poor local favorite ? Are no tears to be shed for Johnny Ahern, no praises of Stewart to be sung, and no eulogies of Schieble to be delivered? "Think of it, drink of it, dissolute men !" Even the official organ of the party in this city does not dare to say one word on behalf of a Bingle man on the city ticket. Everything is swallowed up in Packer. For him the obnoxious men must be crowded off, despite their many services in past campaigns, despite their desperate struggles to procure nominations, despite the zeal and energy with which they have fought, bled, and cheated for their party. Fry has resigned gracefully; but before this new programme can be fully ar ranged there are other fish to fry, and some of them ljay not be equally ready to jump from the frying-pan into the fire. The cam paign aboitnds with difficulties to which even the eloquent and skilful Hamilton is scarcely equal, arid the public impatiently awaits the important new developments which are daily and hourly expected. TIIE ELECTION IN MAINE. Another cloud has passed over the Demo cratic party. They expected great things from Maine. Ever since tho Republican party first lifted its banner in that State vic tory has perched upon it. On a square issue there was not the shadow of a hope of suc cess; but at the opening of the canvass which has just closed the shadow of a coming event was discerned by the Democracy, and that shadow was contorted by Democratic eyes into the outlines of a Democratic triumph. The people of that State are not less decided in their sentiments on the temperance ques tion than in their political views. The Re publican party of Maine is emphatically and unequivocally a true temperance party. But the more extreme temperance men, who have heretofore affiliated with it, despaired of bringing it up to the strict standard of an tagonism to whisky which they had laid down for themselves, and therefore bolted in a body and placed in the field a gubernatorial candi date of their own. The prospects of the movement were as desperate as had been those of tho Democracy theretofore. The prohibition ticket could not, to use the language of the New York World, "count on a single Democratic vote." Its sole support must come from the Republi can ranks, and the sole chance it had of ac complishing anything was by the withdrawal of sufficient votes from the Republican candi date to throw the election into the Legisla ture, the Constitution of the State requiring a clear majority of all the votes cast to insure an election. Upon this possible result, which could not have benefited the prohibition ticket, the Democracy looked as their grand opportunity for defeating the will of the peo ple. The famous "Arithmetic Man" of the World was resurrected especially for the oc casion, ana despatched to Maine to ngure out the coming triumph. The paper result of the contest was finally reduced to the follow ing fine points: The falling off in the Republican vote, owiug to the dissensions in the ranks of the party, will be about twenty-five per cent., while the Democratic vote will lose but eleven per cent. The prohibition ticket will draw off one-seventh of the Republican vote, at least, and the figures will stand, on the official count, 50,000 for the Republican candidate, 48.0(H) for the Democratic candidate, and 8000 for the prohibition candidate. The choice of a Governor will therefore devolve upon the Legislature. But in order to carry off the prize there, the Legislature must be Democratic in sentiment. Nothing will be easier than to secure such a requisite. By reason of the rival factions in the Republican ranks, there will be three candidates for the State Senate in each district. A Senator, like the Governor, must receive a majority of all the votes cast, while a member of the House of Representatives requires but a plurality. bo the result of the triangular fight will be the election of J Democratic Senators, 8 Re publican benators, and 14 vacancies, to be filled by the vote of the lower house, which will stand 80 Democrats to 7 1 Republicans. bucu was the result of the labors of the "Arithmelio Man, which we have taken the trouble to set forth at leugth, inasmuch as they p.-esent one of the most novel political calculations that has ever fallen under our notice. A Democratic Governor, a Demo cratic Legislature, the repeal of the act passed on March 1 1 or this year ratifying the pro. posed fifteenth amendment, and a general revelling in the spoils of petty offices and local legislation such as has not been enjoyed by the Maine Democracy since 18."i4, when the Republican party spraug into existence Jby the union of the V higs with the r reesoil De mocrats and the first election of William Pitt Fessenden to the United States Senate! Such was the enjoyable prospect which greeted the dismayed Democracy of Maine. And just on the eve of the day which was to bring them such a feast of power, Senator Fessenden passed away, and the grand prize of a Beat in the National Senate was placed within their grasp! But the returns of the election, as we read them this morning, dispel the happy vision, and the hungry Democracy turn away from the coveted flesh-pots with a sigh. The vote, according to the indications of the incom plete returns, will stand about as follows: For Chamberlain, 48,000; for Smith, 85,000; and for Hichborn, G000; giving the first about 8000 clear majority over both competitors. The Republicans have also probably elected 27 out of the 31 Senators, and a good round majority of the members of the lower house. So much for the hopes of the Democracy of Maine. The party in that State is deader than it was a year ogo, when the mathematical genius of the World was engaged in figuring up a Seymour and Blair victory on the strength of a decrease, in consequence of local issues and indifference on the part of the people, in the Republican majority of 1(S, 000 in a single year. THE DETECTIVE SYSTEM. The fact that thus far no apparent clue has been obtained to the identity of the assassins of Detective Brooks is a sufficient com mentary on our whole detective system. Here was a man shot down in open daylight, and his assassins are seen to jump into a car riage and drive off, and yet the officers of the law practically confess that they are unable to accomplish their capture. It is stated that the five thousand dollars reward offered has been outbid by the whisky ring, and now Supervisor Tutton recom mends that the sum be increased to twenty thousand, a sum that the friends of the assassins are as able to outbid as they are to go over the smaller amount. The whole question appears to be one of dollars and cents. If the Government can pay the biggest price it will probably catch the criminals without further difficulty; otherwise they will never be identified except by some accident over which the detective officers have no control. Commissioner Delano fc already tormented with the inquiry as to how the money is to be divided if the capture is made, and it is intimated that if he expects to secure the assassins he will have to change the position about the distri bution of rewards which he assumed in the case of Wilkes Booth, when he advocated the distribution of the money among all the participants in the arrest, instead of giving the whole amount to Detective Buker and his immediate assistants. Before any attempt has been made to fen at out the men who shot Mr. Brooks, the detectives are bargaining for their reward, and it is all but openly ac knowledged that the party that pays the highest will win the prize. The fact is the whole detective system is rotten to the core, and the only way in which it can be reformed will be to abolish the pre sent manner of doing business and reorga nize upon an entirely different basis. The practice of offering rewards has caused a com plete demoralization, and we believe that the ends of jusUoe' would be served much better if no Each extra inducements were held out for officers to do their duty. With human nature as it is, it would probably be impos sible to organize a perfectly immaculate de tective force, every member of which at all times, and under all circum stances could be relied upon as incorrup tible; but it is very certain that a very decided improvement on the present style of doing business could be effected if the organization of an efficient detective system were to be undertaken by competent persons. In the case of the assassin of Officer Brooks, the probabilities are that the whisky ring will outbid any sum that the Government is likely to offer, and we do not believe that tw enty thousand dollars will be more likely to ensure the arrest than five thousand. It is clearly the duty of the Government to make the most strenuous exertions to secure the airest and punishment of the men who shot Mr. Brooks. This is, to a great extent, a test case, a trial of strength between the .Govern. ment and the scoundrels who nave tor years been defrauding the revenue, and who now show that they will not hesitate at murder if they can accomplish their ends in no other way. If the men whose business it is to ferret out these criminals fail toarrest them, they confess their own worthlessness as de tectives, and suggest more than a suspicion of complicity with the criminals. If the arrests are not promptly made, with or with out the reward, the Government owes it to itself and to the people to organize such a de tective force as will be entitled to some little regard for efficiency and common honesty.
