the republican vote in new york city he be said 11 the rhe vote of the city was thoroughly worked up by the republican managers and they alo exercised care to prevent the repetition of the terrible democratic frauds of the past years the census returns turns were of material aid to us we had copies made compared the registration list with them and in every case where we f anh und names on the registration lists which were not on the census returns we made investigation vesti gation As a result of this we were ready to meet repeating and false registration and defeat both now you have asked about the in increase of the republican vote we had estimated for our ticket and we got or better it vasque was due partly to graces nomination and largely to the business mens determination to continue the prosperity of the country if the democrats want to cry fraud let them go ahead and overhaul things they would not dare to execute their threat to throw out the new york electoral vote no matter what sort of a showing they concerted the election of garfield is sett ed and he will be inaugurated further than this you may put it down for a fact that the southern leaders are so thoroughly 0 disgusted with democratic mismanagement that they are inno in no mood to listen to any such proposition from barnum or kelly the republicans have won the election by fair means they have a majority of the popular and the cry of fraud is simply ridiculous it is merely a trick of the same calibre as the alleged chinese letter and other campaign rear backs an I 1 sensible democrats have had enough

of dakota officers and men in the department of the platte 2840 in the department of missouri misouri and in the department of texas he wishes again to put himself self elf f on record as considering this force entirely inadequate to the great territory and numerous demands upon the army from the northern and southern borders the ratio is about one man to every 75 square miles and in fexas one man to every square miles the result is the troops are frequent ly overworked and often compelled pi led to take the nield field against g greatly aly superior numbers the officers and men are equal in intelligence activity and devotion to duty to any army in the world and no army of its size accomplished one third as much hard work from one years yearns end to another he refers to the rapidity with which emigrants are taking up land in the far west lie says ays s our frontier Is so extensive that for the present pre ent we are compelled to adhere to the system of or small posts though it is both inconvenient and costly general pope in his annual report calls attention to this fact and urges a change but until the railways now being built throughout our we western stern and southwestern country are completed it will not be wise to alter the existing condition of affairs when these roads have made their connections with the pacific slope and established their termini in the mountains it will be time enough to mo move v el in the matter still that time is not very far distant and it 1 is 15 5 well to discuss the situation of permanent posts and re regimental 0 garrisons in in

various railway companies who are now constructing their new lines with great rapidity in the department of dakota the northern ja i a railway has crossed the missouri sou bou river driver at bismarck and nd is now about miles aest of that place and it is confidently expected to reach the bauks hanks of the yellowstone river by next summer the tho chicago and northwestern railroad has completed a branch road to fort pierre on the missouri dis ais river and has already finished surveys to deadwood dakota which it is expected to reach next september the chicago milwaukee and st paul railway has a branch road within a few miles of american creek nor the missouri river and expects to reach the black hills of dakota by next september tern ber the railways above mentioned lead to the extensive basin of the upper ML missouri lying between the big horn mountains and the black hills of dakota on the south the boundary line of british and united states of north america on the north of the rocky mountains on the west this west basin includes a portion of the territory of wyoming nearly all of montana and the western territory of dakota it is a keeti section orl of great value on account of its extensive and rich grazing lands the very light fall of rain min in the latter part of tl the le summer er and fall does docs not rot the graes grabs but it slowly dries on the ground and becomes good and nutritious hay without the usual trouble of cutting and curing and experience proves the annual snow fall in the basin named is not enough to prevent cattle from getting good feed suring duning during the entire year altho aitho although u 0 the winters are cold they are in invariably v ari arl cold and clear not subjected to conditions of alternate freezing and thawing and consequently they ean keep in better condition than where they are liable to undergo greater climatic changes 0 settlements are being made in every direction throughout this extensive grazing rand and

the chinese grand Seere secretary tary of state li hung chang and seward late minister of the united states in china the interview took place during a parting call by se ward on being removed from this post he informed the secretary that the commission on the way to peking beeking seeking hee see kingto to modify the Bur burlingame bullinga linga kinga e treaty was approved by the administration tra tion at the instigation of an irish trish mob that the treaty could not be made any better and the change the united states proposed would be a great in injustice ustice as well as a gross insult bochina to China and unconstitutional with althe grand secretary should stand firm and so counsel his government that no change need be or should be made that tile the chinese had been shamefully maltreated mal treated in california stoned robbed and murdered that murders could be counted by thou thousands ands and robbery by millions that in california alone this robbery amounted to that while no notice gotico was taken of these things by our government and no justice given the chinese in our courts let jet citizens of the united states or any foreigner be stoned or robbed or murdered in china and a great outcry is made and a large money compensation demanded that had he acceded to the demand of his government and thereby stultified hirn himself elf eif by aking asking a concession so outrage bously unjust and insulting to th the e chinese as prop proposed oed by the mod modification i fl of the treaty he would now be the minister and president of the cammi commission slon sion but this he scorned and hence his resignation mr seward also endeavored to prejudice the secretary against the personnel of the commission and said paid the new now minister knew nothing of politics or diplomacy and was wag en ignorant of the question he had been sent to settle except that he be might know a little of international law as taught to school boys but that would be of little
