How New York City Will Vote.
Tho New York World sent out a
corps of reporters last week to inter
view tho voters of Now York city to
give a forecast of how tho city would
vote. Nearly 5000 mterviews were
obtained. These interviews wero pub
lished in each issue of last week's daily
World giving tho names and address
es of each one. As tho reporters
would stop overyono they meet, natur
ally a number wculd be found who re
sided in Brooklyn or Jersey city.
This will probably account for the re
duced vole for Governor. The follow
ing is a summary of the interviews :

It is remarkablo how narty organs
will distort tho truth. The Philadel
phia Press of Sunday Oct. 28th in
commenting on tho result ot tbo inter
views says:
Tn New York Woria has Interviewed 2523 voters
In New York and Brooklyn on the presidency in
the last week, perhaps as large and systematic a
Btraw vote test as has ever been carried out by a
newspaper. like all such, It Is open to great er

the conclusions reached bv a tmnhazard roll of
this description. But It Is noticeable that In this
cabo a pou is made of changes from the vote of the
last Dresldenlal election. In all the iroria inter
views there aro ninety-eight changes from lilalne
to Cleveland and 13 from oleveland to Harrison.
For New York this would bo a net change ot S4oo

Thousands Must Loss Their Votes.
NOT EN0UO1I TOLLING I'LACES OWINO TO
THE 1110 KEGISTKATION.
The police Commissioners aro in ti
Bcrious dilemma over the heavily in
creased registration 111 many sections of
N. Y. city. How to poll the ontirovot
within the legally prescribed hours is a
puzzle. They added forty-four elect
foil districts this year, making 856,
against 812 in 1807; but the addition
of voters has been bo excessive as to
prevent a poll of the voto on election
day. In the seventeenth election dis
trict of the Twenty-third Assembly
District, 51G names wero enrolled h ur
ine tho first three days of registration,
and in tho Th'irty-scoond District of
tho Twenty-second ABeembly District,
728 voters wero registered, with
strong probability that tho grand total
will roach vw. I his oxcess exists in
all the tenement districts and in the
newly built sections of tho city.
Tho law prescribes that tho polls
shall bo kept open ten hours, or from C
A', m. to -1 i', u. Dm ing that time, if
voting is carried on without delays,
one man can cast his ballot each min
ute, so that only GOO votes could be re
ceived in the ten liouis. The heaviest
balloting on record was in a Harlem
precinct, where COO ballots wero cast,
tho averagp not execoding 600. Al
lowing tho largest possible latitude, in
tho Twenty third Assembly District
referred to above, fully three hundrod
votors h ill bo (lis ranchUed solely be
oauso of an utter inability to receive
tho ballots within tho legal ten hours.
It is estimated that at least 10,000 vot
era will nut be ablo td" fist their bal
lots. 4
Is Labor True to Labor?
All parties profess fidelity to the In
terests of labor, but both oau't bo
right, and labor must d eel do between
them, for tho voles of the industrial
people of tho laud will surely control
tho vordiot.
Tho industrial voters aro four-fifths
of tho voters of tho oountry. They
pay tho taxes; it is their $80,000,000 of
needless taxos that aro extorted from
tho peoplo to swell tho surplus in the
treasury it is upon them that war
taxes upon tho necessaries of lifo fall
most heavily, and it is for them to say
whether high war taxes shall oonttntio
or whether tho common needs of all
classes shall bo oheaponod and indust
ry prospered by reduced taxation.
Is labor truo to labor t If it is,
thero will bo a startling revolution on
tho Gib of November. High tariff and
.otlior taxes deprive tho workingmen of
tho nation of inoro than one-third of
their earnings; thoy hayo driven ovory
Amcrioan ship lrom th'c ocoan ; thoy
havo given nearly our wholo commerce
to foreign shippers; they have taxed
our mills and labor Into idleness and
given foreign mills and labor a large
sharo of American markets, and thoy
havo steadily reduced tho wages of
American workmen whilo taxes havo
been increased by monopoly trusts
bred by oxcossivo tariff duties.
How can labor bo deceived in eticli
a contest T It is a great battlo for the
emancipation of American labor; a bat'
tlo to give our mills and workmen free
raw materials to enlarge employment
and increaso consumption by cheapen
ed necessaries ot life; a battlo to over
flow tho trusts nnd combines which
sap the lifo out of industry; a battlo to
repeal the taxes not only on raw ma
terials, but also on lumber, salt, tin
ware and other articles whiob enter
into tho daily use of tho poople, and a
uauio to givo our cmoi American
markets to our own American labor.
Who can justify or arouse tariff
taxes of over 47 per cent, long after
tho necessities of war have oeased 7
Tho highest distinctly protectivo tar
iffs before tho war never exoeeded 36
per cent, and tho protectivo duties of
tho Mills bill aro in excess ot the high
est claims of protectionists beforo tho
war. Why is this so T It is so sim
ply becauso truo protection has been
departed from, and it has been prosti
tuted lo extortion and greed.
Lot labor be true to labor. Let it
demand freo raw materials for our
industries, as are given in every pro
tection oountry of Europe ; let it de
mand tho reduction of tariff duties to
the standard of full protection of tho
difloronco betweon American and for
eign wages, and let it demand that all
necessaries of life not produced by a
general industry hero, shall be abso
lutely free. Suoh a tariff! is wanted by
labor in its battlo for labor ; such a
tariff is tho Mills bill, and if labor is
true to labor, the nation will decide in
favor of its standard of tax reduction
by an overwhelming voto. Times.
The Sackville Letter
Tho effort to secure a democratic
Burohard injthn person of Lord Sack-
'IT . rr 1? I. -. I
vine v cot, .cuiusu uiiuiater tu. tuis
country, has proven a flat failure. A
person representing himself a9 a natur
alized Englishman wrote to Saokville
asking for instructions how to vote for
President. To this Sackvillo replied i
by lottcr saying :
"1 am in receipt of your letter of
tho 4th inst , and beg to say that I fully
appreciate the difficulty in which vou
find yourself in casting your voto. You
are probably aware that any political
party wiitoh openly favored the mother
onontry at tho present moment would
loso popularity, and that the party in
power is fully aware of this fact. Tbo
party, however, is, I behove, still de
sirous of maintaining friendly relations
with Ureal firitain, and is still as de
sirous ot settling all questions with
Canada, whioh have been unfortunate
ly reopened sinoo the retraction of the
treaty by the Republican majority in
the Senate, and by the f resident 's
message to which you allude, All al
lowances must, therefore, bo made for
the political situation as regards the
presidential o'.ection thus created. It
is, however, impossible to predict the
course whioh President Cloveland may
pursue in the matter of retaliation
should bo be elected; but there is every
reason to believo that, while upholding
the position bo has taken, he will mani
fest a spirit of conciliation in dealing
with the question involved in his mess
age." Immediately tho republican press be
gan a great howl, claiming that this
letter proves their allegations that the
demooratio party is favoring British
interests, and that this bears out, their
charges that tho party aro "British
free-traders."
All this is intended to catch the
Irish voto that has slipped away from
the Blaine voto of 1884. It bears every
indication of having been a put up job
by tho Republican National Com
mittee, and Saukvillo West is either in
his dotage, and has been imposed upon,
or ho is a willing tool in tbo hands of
the conspiracy, and wrote the letter in
tentionally to injure Cleveland's chances
of success, for it is said that the most
cordial feeling has not existed between
them. Sackville's recall has been re
quested, and it is reported that his
successor has already been appointed.
Sackville' has been notified by tho De
partment of State that bis continuanco
in his present official position in tho
United States is no longer acceptable
to this got crnnient.
Quay's PhUadelplnana Spotted
Last week 150 live, wide-awako De
mocrats wero sent to New York from
Philadelphia for the purposo of identi
fying Chairman Quay's imported vot-
crs. Upon their arrival they wore at
once placed in communication with
tho .police, and havo been working
with them every since. They havo al
ready located over two hundred of
Quay's men and, whilo they caunot
nrovo that theso men havo registered.
as they have probably registered under
assumed names, thero is but littlo
chauco of any of Mr. Quay's colonizers
being allowed to vote, as tho detectivo
corps win remain in tho otty until eleo'
tiou day and will closely watch tho
polls. The effect of this movo of the
Democrats was shown when a carload
of Philadelphia Republicans, who wero
coming on to register, wero mopped at
Trenton and turned back Thursda
night by a telegram from New l'or!
city.

A Plain View of the Bitnallon.
Ono of tho most gratifying faots
presented in una political campaign, is
uio universal nuininsiuii uy oanuiu men
in all parties that Orover Cleveland's
administration has boon wise, ooneer
vatlve, efficient and punotlllously hon
est. Tho wheels of government havo
moved smoothly, and consequently
tho larger business enterprises havo
met their expectations and the peoplo
generally havo prospered. Even the
financial stringency of 1887, a direct
result of tho onormons accumulation of
surplus in tho national treasury, and
whioh for a timo assumed throatoning
aspects, was so easily brushed away
by tho doft hand of tho Secretary of
tho Treasury, that, comparatively, but
few of tho pcoplo, even in business
circles, woro awnro of tho seriousness
of tho situation, or tho importance of
tho dangor avertod.
Such has been Orover Cleveland's
administration for throe and a half
years an administration whioh com
mands tho respect nnd administration
of intelligent people, not only in
America, but throughout tho world,
Is it any wonder that thoughtful
and patriotio citizens of every party
aro inclined to "let well enough alone,'
by assisting to ro cleot iur. Clovoland I
That suoh is tho faot almost every
neighborhood abundantly attests.
From all parts of the country oomo an
nouncements not (singly, but by
dozens and from soino quarters by
Bcores of prominent business men,
piominent manufacturers, and proml
nent agriculturists proclaiming them
selves openly for Cleveland's ro-oloct-ion.
Why is it that tho changes in favor
of Cloveland aro so largely among tho
best informed and most conscientious
and patriotio of tbo people! It is not
from tho rabble or the ignorant that
tho ohanges toward Cleveland come.
It is quite tho other way, for it is to
thoignorat that tho Republican ap.
peals for votes aro chiefly directed,
Theso misrepresentations of tho issues
and appeals to tho lower passions and
prejudices of men may be successful;
but among the intelligent, well inform
ed, it is impossible. Thoy will bo dis
gusted by falsehoods, but cannot be
deceived.
The good will of the substantial
business men of tho country is un
doubtedly with President Cloveland.
They reoognize him as an ablo states
man, a true patriot, a firm exeoutive,
net an honest man. These qualities
iTSrs insure good government. To
1JBP? for a President who is compa
EHivelv unknown whoso nomination
was founded not upon his own but his
grandfather's merits and whoso sur
roundings in the event of his election
no man oan foretell, in a business
man's judgement would be manifestly
unwise, as well a unsafe.. Hence,
President Cleveland's re-election on
Tuesday next by an over-wheiming
voto is assured.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Prom our Regular 0 orrespondent.)
Washington, D. C. Oct. 29, 1888.
Mr. Clovo!and has onco more proved
himself pqual to tho occasion, and the
occasion was a most extraordinary one.
For tho first timo in tho history of the
United State?, tbo representative of a
foreign nation has attempted to take
part in a political intrigue in this
country. Lord Saokyillo-West, the
British minister, wroto a letter under
dale of Sept. 13, to an alleged corres
pondent in California, in which he
took occasion to say that the President
did not moan a word of his recent
Canadian retaliation message, and that
after his eleotion he would provo him
self a truo friend of England and Eng
lish interests. He further advised his
alleged correspondent to rote tho De-
mouratio nonet in tuu intuiubt ui Eng
land. Tho purposo of this letter is
very clear. It was written for tho ex
press purpose of being mado public on
the eve of the eleotion in the hope of
ilriving tho Irish voto from Mr. Uleve-
Jand. In this city, whero it is well
known that tho rotations between tbo
administration of Mr. Cleveland and
the British Minister have been strained
from tho first, there is no difficulty ex-
oerienced in arriving at the cause of
this aotion on the part of Lord Sack
ville. He had given up all hope of
controlling Mr. Cleveland, henoo his
desire to deftat him if possible. There
was also another inducement; lord
Sackville and Mr. Harrison, tho repub
lican candidate for the presidency, are
warm personal friends, and have been
for many vears, When Mr. Harrison
was in tho Senalo they were constantly
together. When tho letter was first
published, few people bolieved it to be
genuiue, so very foolish did it appear
for a man in Lord Sackville's position
to have written such a letter, but its
authenticity was fully confirmed by
Lord Saclcyille, and to make matters
worse ho allowed himself to bo inter
viewed for publication, and the lan
guage he used was just about as ob
noxious as it could possibly have been
to patriotio Americans. As soon as
Mr, Cleveland ascertained that Lord
Saukvillo admitted having written this
audacious meddling letter, ho instruct-
ed Secretary Bayard to cable a demand
upon tbo Euglish Foreign Office,
through the American minister in
London, for tho immediate recall of
Lord Sackville. That such a thiuly
veiled fraud as this letter will have
any effoct upon tho Irish vote Is not
for a moment to be believed by any
one at all familiar with the leading
oharaoteristios of that race. They aro
practically solid for Clovelaad and will
remain so". As for Lord Sackville, ho
will be oxtremely fortunate if ho gets
out of tho sorapo with no worse pun
ishment than a recall by his govern
inent. In any other oountry but tho
United States his impudence and
audacity would have nut his lifo in
danger. Mr. Cloveland by his prompt
acuuu in rvBt-iiiiug uiu luuuit to mm.
self and tho American people, by this
English meddler, has shown that ho is
tho right man in the right place, aud
the people will show their apprecia
tion boloro long by giving him nnother
terra.
Mr, Cleveland rovlowcd the monster
demooratio processiou in Now York
sity Saturday afternoon, nnd Immed
iately afterward returned to thh city.
IIo received a perfeot ovation, and
what is more to tho point at this stage
oi tho campaign, ho was assured by
tho local managers that Now York
eta to was oertain to glvo him a plural
ity of not less than 10,000, and that
tho British minister's letter, instead of
carrying Irish voters to the republh
cans, had actually drivon many Irish
men, who saw through tho badly put
up ion, away from narusou.
Time, it is said, evens all things. It
would certainly seem so, when tho ro-
pu 4ican Supreme Court Is almost con
stantly handing down opinions uphold,
ing tho doctrino of "Statoi1 Rights" to
a greater extent man was ever claimed
by its most radioal adherents previous
to tbo late war. If these dcoislons
were mug tado by n demooratio
court, Uio republican rdltors of tho
oountry would all bo calling It rovolu
tlon, but now thoy hardly refer to tho
decisions, except as items of news.
Sonator Morgan, who, as tho lca'ding
uemocrnuo inonibcr ot the Senato com
inltteo on forolgn relations, has boon
pcrfcolly familiar with tho ideas of Mr.
Cloveland on tho fisheries and other
Canadian questions, says of tho retalia
tion mossngc: "Thero was no thought
oi gaining party advantage by it, it
was inspired by tho highest raotlvos
innt ovor enter a statesman's heart.
Whoever attributes other motives
to
him, does Mr. Cloveland a gross in
jnstioo. In that message ho expressed
what was strongest in his mind, and it
was in perfect aocord with his attitude
lruin nrst to ibsi. no am not aouoi
for a moment that Congress would
grant him tho power asked for, and he
expected to ox roiso it at onco. If ho
wero not a candidate) for ro election, or
if his defeat wero assured, ho would
hold tho samo vlows."

known as "Honoypot." Here, in
littlo two-story cottage reside John

is 28 years of age and married. Joseph
is 26 and single. With them resido
their sister Mary, a beautiful girl of 17,

oould not be obtained without the con
sent of her brother John, who acted as
her guardian, their parents being still
residents of Poland. Tho young guar
dian objected to the attentions paid his
sister by young Grasch, and on moro
than one occasion ordered him from
the honse.
Tho lovers were not to be baffled, how-
over, and decided to olope. One o'clock
this morning was the hour fixed for tho
escape. Joseph Grasch appeared on
tho sceno at the appointed hour, and
placing a ladder against the building.
under the window of the room in which
his ladylove slept, prepared for the
flight Tho girl was waiting for Lira,
and quickly arranging her apparel she
began to descend the ladder. At this
moment the brothers, who were sleep

the slight noise that had been made
and rushed out into the night air. They
caught tho pair in tho very act of es
caping, and their excitement aud frenzy
Knew no bouuas. in their madnoss
one of them felled Grasch to tho ground.
Then, Joseph Voliski held fast to the
pi os t rat o form while his brother John
caught an axe and began to hack
young Urasoh to pieces. The butchery
was one of the most inhuman ana
brutal on record. All the toes on tho
right foot wero cut off, as were a num
ber of fingers from the left hand, one
of tho ears and a portion of the nose.
several ribs wero broken, tho chest and
forehead cruel 'od in, and there are deep
gashes on tho shoulders, arms and legs.
Strange to say tho man still lives, but
his death is a question of only a few
hours.
The injured man was taken to his
boarding-house, the residence of Luk-
osh Budook, three blocks away, and
Dr. Mahon was called. In the excite
ment of the hour the assassins flod and
for a time secreted themselves in the
house of a nelghbor,'where Constable
John lvutzki found them shortly bo
