Electfom i passed, and the battle ifc over, but that the people may know somethinir nbout what it costs to be a repuibliean in what i-s supposed to be Civilized New York, we quote the oillO'Wins from the Detroit Tribune ol Momlay. If every person wlio can rend. would read this in an unpreju dtced mauner, it does seem as tliough iit wtmi'ld have au inlluence: "One thinis is nmnifested here whioh is laimentiable in the extreme. In eon versatton With demócrata who liave been betting on Cleveland earrylng this state, eaeli and every eme oí thern expresses the belief that Taimmany eau pro-dwee' a majority in this city and in Brooklyn whieh will neutralize the bemest votes of the repmblicans north oif Harleini. In other words, in all their they are gambling upom the liape of fraud aind treason- they are hioping for a riot and they wlU undoubtedly undertake to cause riot and hiooting alfrays at the polling pla.es early in tbe morning of electiou day. One af tlüetu, who is a newspaper correspondent, eays: " 'As saon as a gun is fired, the re peotable people, all of them republicans, -vvill lcave the poils and gü to their housee and plaoes ol' business. Theu tlue Ta.mmany workers will ha.ndle the bnltot boxes to suit theniselvtes. We wa.at ta kill a few federal suiperVtsoTs, and the rest wil) be easy enouigh.' ■'That i tiie waj these denioirats talk HiiM-eervdly aimoiig persona] frieiids and at-qua ml anees. .They tliink do more of takhig the live.s oi' white repuiblicaufi here, that they du ('S killimg uegroes in tlie south. "They knioav that Ntew York state is certain ilor BDarriBon on a fair ballot and lionest coamt, but they unblushing ly anfflau'ne tliat Harrlson shall be chrated oimt of thiis tate, even if jnur' ders are necessary te aecomplish that ini'anW)uw v(sult. lint they are reek oning upbn cowardiee on the part of the repviblieans. There is their fatal error. If blood is shed here on the streete oï New Y'ork, Tuesday next, onne of it will be diemocra-t blood. The federal suiervsiors and depiuy United States marshals are good nicu wlio will at-tend to thielr duties and periloinni büöir partís in aaiy sort of a miatinee which Tammany may tart. "To give you an insiglit into the hoipeí! of dwtnoc-rat bettiug men, I quote a professional g-ambler, wlio gaye: 'In the tenderloan fflstrict, betwecn 14th and tüth streets, there are over 18.000 professional thieves and criiininaJ'S of evrr.v öort. They are all deunocrats. They can doctor up as ma ny tlunisand Tammany votes Cleveland as Taimmany may cal] lor whem tlve polls close. I Unow the giang and I knoiw what they can do. Henee I am betting oo Cleveland. AVhy, the life of a deputy United States marshal is ca earthly good in tliat dilstrict if he interferes in the slightest particular. A knife from Iwhind will settle anyone of them, and nobody conild prove who did it.' "These thingB seem to you most hor rible and terrifying. Iet me teil you that I have si ven yiom only two intervfews oi this sort out of abont fifty, whieh I have had with desperate democrats in the past tliree :days. Tliere is nerf a reepectable law-abidi-ng man in the sta tes oí the north, wlio W'Oiild vote the demioerat ticket om Tuesday if lic oould realize the full torce of the awfnl truth comcerning the cteauioeral party in this city."
