NOTES FROM NEW YORK AND

i A Cunning Plan for the DUeufranchiacmetit
of Votes—The Ladies all Democrats
This Year—BeU of Candy, Gloves

New York, Oct. 31.-.Two of the
iboard of police commissioners are repub¬
licans and two are democrats, one Tam¬
many man and one county democrat.
•The police commissioners have charge of
|the election arrangements, the selection
and hum Mr ‘of 'potting' places and the
choice of inspectors. The superintendent
of the bureau of elections is John J.
O’Brien, one of the most wicked republi¬
cans in New York, who lias held over

i There republicans seem to have laid a
cunning plan for the disfranchisement of
a large body of democratic voters.
.There arc eight tickets to be voted in
New York city this year, one for elec¬
tors, one for governor, one for congress,
■one for mayor and the county ticket,one
(for assemblymen, one for aldermen, one
for or against the constitutional amend¬
ment to make an additional court of ap¬
peals and one for judge of the court of
appeals.
Each of those tickets must be put in a
separate box and separately recorded.
Brsides, the voter’s name and residence
must lie given. They must be compared
in tiie books of t lie various inspectors
and recorded in them ull. This takes
time. One vote in a minute, or 600 in
the 10 hours that the polls are open is
considered quick time, and as the mass
or the voters come early in the morning
or in the afternoon, there are lulls in the
stream of voters; so the law has provided

commissioners added only

increase of almost 50,000 voters.
The result is that there are
317 districts with more than 400
voters, and one election district

physical impossibility under the present
system for more than 75 votes an hour
to be polled, and it is estimated that un¬

of a prominent family in the county, al¬
leges that some of his neighbors does have believe be¬

this that he went to Franklin, the county
seat, and laid the case before a lawyer.
He was willing to make affidavit that
several of his neighbors stood by beside
him while he was at work, and, some
peculiar power, deprived him of the
strength to perform any labor.
He said that these people had troubled
him so much in thus way that they had
absorbed about all his strength and left
him helpless, Ih consequence he had
been greatly reduced in physical damages. strength,

The lawyer declined to take the case,
and Pritchard said if the law' would not

possessed such extraordinary power, he
would have to sell his farm and go else¬
where.
An American .Steamship Seized in llayti.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 80.—A tele¬
gram has been received by Acting Secre¬
tary Rives, announcing the capture of
the American steamer Havtian Republic
while trying to force the blockade at St.

Maine.
The agents, B. C. Morse & Co., have
received no word from the consignees
or captain of the vessel. They state that
they know nothing of any contraband
matter on board the steamer. If it is
there, it is without theif knowledge.
The steamer sailed from New York Oct.
4, carrying placed a general cargo. The agents
have the matter in charge of the
authorities at Washington, and are now
awaiting developments.
What! An Apple Trust?
Lgckport, N. Y., Oct. 31.—The Nia-
gary county farmers’ club in ses-ion here
yesterday, claimed that the apple buyers
had formed a trust to keep the price of
apples down, and passed a resolution de¬
nouncing such action. They claimed
that they were losing money at a dollar
a barrel, and advocated the pooling of
their interests to protect tnemselves. A
committee was appointed to devise and
estimate the cost of the erection of a cold
storage warehouse whereby fruit could
be housed and kept for a good market.
A Wind l/nrooft Freight Car*.
Erie, Pa., Oct. 31.—Erie was visited
with a very destructive gale Friday
night. Charles Hinley, a marine from
the United States steamer Michigan, was
blown from the dock into the lake and
drowned. A I-ake Shore freight train
had several of its cars unroofed, and
Brakeman McEwan, of Buffalo, was car¬
ried with one roof into an adjacent field.
He was found yesterday several miles
off, where he had crawled while in de¬
lirium. It is feared he cannot recover.
Sir Cliarle* Tupper’a Appointment.
Montreal, Oct. 31.--The publication
of the appointment of Sir Charles Tup-
per as Minister West's successor, made
quite a sensation here. Sir John Mac¬
Donald was asked as to the truth of the
announcement, but declined to discuss
it, saying he wished to keep clear of the
Sackville incident. He added, however,
that perhaps he will say something about
Sir Charles’s appointment.

Washington, Oct. 31.—Lord Sackville
is said to have privately intimated to his
friends his intention to quit the ptstt of
British minister immediately upon noti¬
fication by Salisbury. Ho says ho is
thoroughly disgusted at tlie way Ameri¬
can i*qlit£gt are -carried on. and says he
cannot understand why the friendship
of such a power as Great Britain should
have any effect on the presidential elec¬
tion, He can scarcely bring about a be¬
lief that the administration is sincere, he
says,
Washington, Oct. 31.—The greatest
sensation of the capital continues to be
the manly, straight forward action of
the administration in requesting Lord
Sackville's recall. Nearlyall the foreign
ambassadors express themselues as being
greatly surprised that the ininistercould
be guilty of such a fatal indiscretion and
think that his recall from a lucrative and
honorable post is a just punishment.
Secretary Bayard has refused to
give out any th ing in regard to the spirit in
which the communications of the United
States were received by the British gov¬
ernment. The matter ; ho taid, was the
subject of letters or messager between
two parties, and neither, he said, hail the
right to give out the contents of these
communications without the consent of
the other. What had taken place be¬
tween the president and himself he had
given to tlie press, but the other correr
pondenee he did not feel at liberty to
make public.
Perhaps the strongest and most forci¬
ble passage in the in itification by Seere.
tary of State Bayard to Minister West,
lies in its closing paragraph:
It therefore becomes necessary for this
government to consider whet her, as guar¬
dian of Its own respect and of the integ¬
rity of its institutwps, it will permit a
further intercourse to be held through
the present British minister at this capi¬
tal. It is to lie observed that precedents
are not wanting as to tlie question under
consideration. It sets a bad rule, and is
essential to the maintenance of Interna¬
tional intercourse, that diplomatic repre¬
sentative* must be persona grata to the
government to which he is accredited.
If, by his, conduct, he renders himself
persona non grata, an announcement of
the fact may be made to his government.
In the present case all the requirements
of the comity- have been fulfilled, the

New York, Oct. 31.— [Special.]-The
papers of this morning make the follow¬
ing editorial comments on President
Cleveland's action regarding the Suck-
viHe incidentr
The Sun says: “If Mr. Cleveland has
erred in his treatment of this annoying
incident, it has teen on the side of over-
deliberation, an>l yet it may be thought
that the humiliation of the'British gov¬
ernment is greater, since it failed to take
advantage fered of the loophole of escape of¬
World; it by Mr. Cleveland.”'
“It i* well that Lord Sack¬
ville is to go. The lesson will not be lost
upon other distinguished diplomats.
England will think better of us, and re-
publican politicians who have been
counting upon the bugaboo provided by
the saggy British minister will probably
learn that after all this is not a day of
smali things.”
Tribune: "It has taken the president
ti n days to tind out that something had
to be done about it. At last he has done
what was demanded from the very first.
But the president waited too long."
Herald: “What we believe the better
sense of the American people will con¬
clude is that tlie president has allowed
his temper to ; ct the tetter of his judg¬
ment in his manner of dealing with this
matter. We r< gret that in the treatment
of this case he has. under the evil influ¬
ence of the incapable and hysterical sec¬
retary <*f state, acted in a way to forfeit
something of the higher opinion which
his fellow-citizens had of him."
Times: “The incident is ended in a
manner ministration altogether creditable to the ad¬
tlie least possible at harm.” Washington, and with
London, Oct. 31,—The Standard, com-
mentingon President Cleveland's action
in the Sackville matter, says:
If the intelligence we publish this
morning from Washington be substan¬
tially accurate in its verbal details, the
American government has taken sum¬
mary action of a deliterateiy offensive
kind, in relation to Lord Sackville. Mr.
sador Bayard has informed the British ambas¬
(hat for reasons already known to
the Bnglish government," his con¬
tinuance is no longer acceptable,
and would consequently lie detri¬
mental to the relations between the
countries. It must lie hoped that a more
precise munication account of the terms of the com¬
will take from it the bmsque-
ness. the we are tempted Mr. Cleveland to say brutality, of
message. has saved
his electioneering prospects at the ex¬
pense of the honor of the American pub¬
lic life.”
The Standard is the only morning pa¬
per that refers to the matter.
