T he Board of Lady Manager lablyably ei World’s Fair will prob employ a number of Southern women as guides and interpreters. I t is said that a monster hotel will be built in Chicago for the accommodation of colored people who will visit the World’s Fair. The liotel is to be com plete in all its appointments and kept in a style equal to other first-class hotels of the city. T h e Court of Appeals have at last decided the long contested suit over the will of Samuel J . Tilden. The decision declares the trust c lause void and sus tains tlie heirs. The only safe thing for a rich man to do is to give away his money before death. FitANK MEi-itouRNE of rain-niakiiig fame says the report that lie had sold his secret is untrue; that there is not sufficient money in the IVcst to buy it. Melbourne contracted to cause rain to fall next y(>ar from Alay to September in forty counties of Kansas in suflieient quantities to raise crops. The sation is to be 10 cents for eaeh vated acre, based on an average of the past year. This means, he says, about .§200,000 for him. Ollier sections of the country have made advances and contracts are probable, he says. AI oue than fiOO convicts wore set fi'ee by minors at at Briceville, Tenn., last week, and thus far only about a dozen liave been recaptured. The trouble has been brewing since July, when State troops were called out to quiet disturb ance and keep the convicts at work. The Tennessee Coal Alining Company and the Knoxville Iron Company, who lease the State’s convicts, are losers to the extent of several thousand dollars, and will in the near future bring suit against the State for damages. A barn with all its contents, including fifteen line horses and valued at $5,000, was burned just after the release. It is be lieved that it was sot on lire by two of the convicts released at Briceville. 'iVasIiiiigtoii l,etter* [niOMOUR REUULAn OOKUESl’ONOEM'.j W ashington , October SO, 1891. The calm dignity and entire absence of anytliing like bullying in the official despatch instructing Alinister Egan to demand reparation of the Chilian gov ernment for the mob’s attack upon U. S. sailors, which was by the President’s direction made public this week, is com mended on every hand, and it adds an other bright jewel to the coronet of Statesmanship of the highest order with which the impartial historian will m after years crown tliis administration, which has never for a single instant forgotten the motto which forms tlie keystone of the arch across which it marched to power—“ Protection to Amer ican citkens; at home and abroad.’’ It is now understood that Secretary Proctor may remain in the Cabinet until the middle of November, possibly until Congress meets. He will be appointed Senator to fill the vacancy which will exist on the first of November, but ho will not actually become a Senator until he chooses to qualify as sueii, and tliere is no ueoGSsity for his qualifying until Congress m eets. AVhen Commander-in-Chief Palmer and the G. A. K. National Council of Administration come here on the l ltli of November to definitely determine the date for next year’s encampment m this city, documentary evidence whieli can not be disputed or misrepresented will be submitted to them, showing tliat every hotel-keeper in Washington has pledged himself that jirices and accom modations during the encampment shall Y what theyhey arere at allll times.es. be precisely what t a at a tim Documentary evidence will also be sub mitted at the same time showing that the railroads entering AVashington have made the required concessions and that the local executive committee have com plied with all the requirements of the National Council of Administration, as far as it is possible to do in advance. The Washington hotel-keepers, wlio are indignant because it has been repre sented that they wish to impose upon the old soldiers and their friends who will visit Washington during tlie en- campment, ivill through their own orga- 'nizatian. National Hotel-Keepers Asso ciation, repregonting 61,000 hotels, send out an explicit denial. New York Democratic. Our rooster is sick, and we must be content with making a plain statement of the unpleasant truth, that the Re publicans are again beaten in this State, and Roswell P. Flower is elected Gov ernor by about 15,000 majority. The canvas presents many singular features. In New York, tlie stronghold of Democracy and Tammanj-ism, tlie majority was remarkably small, and first returns gave.strong hopes, amount ing almost to positive assurance of Re publican victory. Then came the meagre, disappointing returns from the country districts, from whence emjihat and increased majorities were confident ly counted upon, one after another showing either a small gain or an abso lute loss. And this singular defection in the Republican strongholds continued over almost the entire State, more than oll'- setting the light Democratic majorities of New York, Kings and other Demo cratic centres, and all too soon bringing the assurance that the State was lost us, that our gallant Fassettwas defeated and the people had made elioiec of Ros well P. as their political State Flower and Governor. This apathy among Republican voters, just at this time, when so much depended upon success and a show of strength and earnestness, is the political conun drum for party managers, general and local, to ponder, and profit by. Our standard bearers who led the Republican ticket, the intrepid and in domitable Fassett, and his unfiiucliing eo-worker and “running mate,” Vroo- man, made a ne.ver more valiant and telling light, as the result in the Tam many intrenchments shows, and if the same jmsh, jiorsistenee and faithfulness had eharaeterized their accredited par tisans through the country districts, we should have the pleasure of here record ing their triumphant election. The Republican vote of the .State is in fact less than that given to Air. AVar- ner Aliller in ISSS, and it is an int(-rest- ing question, why this manifest indiffer ence ? The majority against us is .small, it is true, but the presti; now on the eve before conte.st, and all that that implies is iin- uiensely lai'ge. The latest advices give tlie majority for Flower at about 15,()U0 to LS.UUU, with Sheehan’s reduced by several thousands. But the whole Democratic State ticket is undoubtedly elected by small majorities. A Ciood C a u c u s JLiiw a n d Its N e ce.ssity. itige it gives just :esidential “ Doubtless the eyes of tlie active Alongiii,ngiii, of Sell resourceful Air. Alo of inty, who is credited with tlie jios- ision off allll the brainsi of the Sweet session o a the b faction of Rcpubliea drews is the custodian of its conscience, reach out to-day towards his old lioine in Oswi'go in mule condolence for his old friend Bulger, of whom Democrats hereabouts have heard more or less of late. Though given the brand of regu larity by the Kepuhliean State Coiiven- tkn, the Alongin-Sweet party has been, as the BulUUii has duly ehroiiieled, beaten in the courts where the law and the facts arc not viewed according to the necessities of party control. I’re- ciscly tlic same fate Jias overtaken the Bulger men in O.swego county. The Saratoga convention, dominated by Tammany inllueiiees, recognized the Bulgm- delegates as regular. Wiien it came to printing the official ballots, the I’oucher men found a way of raising an Issue. IVlien the same facts and allhla- vits were presented in court which were passed upon at Saratoga, the decision was reversed and yesterday Judge ('liurcliill decided that the name of the Boucher nominee for the Assembly, named by the same convention which sent delegates to Saratoga, should be placed upon the official ballot by the County clerk. Thus in two eases, .al most precisely similar, one witliin the Democratic party and one within the Republican, decided by party tribunals on like principles for like causes, the courts intervened, wlien too late, to de clare both decisions wrong and there fore outrageous. The trouble in both c.asos arises from defects in the laiv. Either the caucuses :uid conventions should be relegated to their old state of lawle.ssiiess or they should be brought wholly under the control of the law. As it is they are a singidar admixture. 'J’lie law declares what shall be deemed wrong but i>ro- vides no remedy. It is in fact a.s pos sible, as tliese cases liavo demonstrated, to build a dishouesl eoiivention from the loose materials of a jiarty as ever it was. The law as these eases .^how, is an aggravation rather than a proteeliou. There is not the slightest reason to doubt that under the forms of law, both the Patterson Kepublieans in Seneca aiul the rouelier Democrats in Oswego, carried their respeetiv’o district conven tions and yet, when they got beyoiul the law and to their respective State con ventions, party discipline robbed them of their rights, and they found them selves represented by delegates whom they had rejected. That is practically the decision of the courts. As the Bulldin has before and often said, on tlie principle that the stream cannot be purer than its fountain, if the caucuses are to be carried by majorities instead of by siuartiiess, if the 11111 of the parties is to be registered by con ventions instead of the will of those iu control of the organizations, then tliere must be a radical change in caucus and convention methods. The plan we have suggested, and we have seen no better up to this time, is that part 3 ’ caucuses be x’resided over iij- the regularlj- cloclod inspectors of ulcotiuii, ivitliout the intervention of a chairman and ail that that implies; that the inspectors make a return of the votes cast, precise ly as for a regular election, to the town, eitj' or eountj- clerk: that the clerk from these make up his official list of delegates to conventions which shall be accexrterl bj- the convention as its list; that he, or some one designated by him, call conventions to order; that the del egates named on the list and none others be allowed to vote in the choice of offi cers for the convention and that it then be left in its own control, save that it must not disturb its list of members save by duly authorized substitutions. These principles, elaborated, would se cure the perfect primary law which is so necessary. The Bulletin rejoices to licar that such a bill is to be presented If the final outcome of such cases as are referred to in the above, is the enactment of a law in regard to prima ries and conventions which shall secure to every man the right to vote and have his vote counted, and shall insure the principle of majority control, the Re- publiean fight in Seneca county wiU have ended. T h is is all the J ouiinal has been fighting for and all it asks. We are heartily in favor of tlie enaet- ment of such a bill.

Sheehan ran behind a little over 3,000 ill this city, but elsewhere he has polled a vote even with the rest of his ticket. And yet this result was by no means certain early in the evening. It has been an unusually exciting election. At first indications seemed to point to Fassett’s election, and as late as 0 o’clock the question of the successful candid.ate for governor was iu doubt. LOTS OF EXCITEMENT. The most intense excitement prevailed In the ’neighborhood of the new.spaper office.s, where large crowds gathered to read the returns from the bulletin hoards. The Republicans had the best of it at first, and they clicorod for all they were worth, tlie Democv.ats maintaining o grim .silence. Then as the returns .showed a RECE4VES THE RETURNS. General Sickles Denounces the County N ew Y ork , N ov . 4.- .Mr. Flower received the election returns at the Windsor hotel, surrounded by his two brothers, John .and Anderson, and his nephew, Fred S. Flower, Joseph J. O’Donough, Joseph J. Little, Bridge Commissioner Abe Scliwab, Gen eral Dan Sickles and other prominent Democrats. The first returns of the even ing cast a decided gloom over tlie party, aiuliyr. Flower was in averj- uuhappv state of mind. General Sickles openly denounced the county Democrats as traitors, and said he had some of tiiis treason in his own district. As tlie re turns kept coming Mr. Flower’s spirits rose, and at the house above mentioned he York and 15,IXK3 from Kings county. S.VTS HE WAS SURPni.SED. He said he was greatly surprised at the falling off in this city. A reporter a-sked him whether he attributed it to the County Democracy. He shook his head gravely and said nobody could tell. He allowed 00,- 000 as a high water mark for Fassett’s majority above the bridge hut did not from the leaders in counties outside of New York giving indic.atious and nearly every one showed Democratic gains. A messenger came in at 10 o’clock who reported that the betting was $500 to $400 OB Flower. Air. Flower was much pleased, •while Mr. 0*Douou\h jumpefl up and commissioued a younj; man to go out and get all he oould at that odds. Then an other report camein that the search lights nt Aladisoii Square Garden pointed tc Flower’s election. Governor Hill Happy. A lbaxt , N ov . 4.—Governor Hill said this morning: “The result is extremely gratifying and the more so because all ol our big g.ahiR were either in the country or else in districts where there was al leged disaffection, such as Brooklyn and Erie counties, it is a vindication of the '7t ’.Z J f . t I J the senate and assembly districts is all we expected. It isi a night and a time foi general rejoicing.” When the result this morning was an nounced definitely, t! e govemorsaid: ‘Tt should bo considered as a great Demo cratic victory, presaging Democratic suc cess in the nation next year.
