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.

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.

of your Safes lu that tire, also several In the Are at
Sixth and Commerce streets, the next May, Ave
weeks afterwards, all of which upon being opened
proved they were Are-proof Indeed, for I witnessed
the opening of the most of them, and In every case
the contents were preserved, while Safes of ether
makers were partially or entirely destroyed. I at
once concluded to have something that I could de
pend upon, and purchased oue of your Safes. '
The safe I purchased of you at that time was sub
jected to a white heat (which was witnessed by sev
eral gentlemen that reside in the neighborhood) at
the destruction of my Marble Paper factory, 9
Wallace street, on the afternoon aud evening or the
24th inst. After digging the safe from the ruins,
and opeuiDg it this morning, I was much pleased to
find everything, consisting of books, papers, money
and silverware, all right. I shall want another of
your safes as smut as lean get a place to contiuuo
mv business In. I could not rest contented with auy
other make of (safes.
