Samuel J. Randall, about the only
clemorrata left who has the courage Of
his convictions, since Grovcr Cleve
land swallowed that nartv. warned the
democrats of the Ilonae that the
boasted "sumlus" would disappear ere
the present session ended and it appears
that Samuel was a democratic prophet
wise in his day.
Mr. Harrison has delivered some
eighty extempo addresses since receiyiug
the republican nomination. Every one
of them, to some extent, discussing the
political questions involved in the present
campaign and has proved himself an able,
versatile, fearless statesman. Even the
democratic partisian press has been un
able to pick a flaw iu his many courage
OU3 utterances.
The aqueduct scandal in New York
shows the democracy in its true light,
and if anyone believes Governor Hill
can be re-elected in that state in the face
of that investigation they are mistaken,
Ex-mayor Grace unfolds a true democrat
ic state of affairs, which equals the
"Widdy McGinnis Pig." Mr. Grace tes
tifies that Governor Hill discounted bis
own nrivtie notes for the amount of
$30,000 for campaign purposes, and that
these notes were howled about among the
politicians of the state, Mr. Grace him
self having been solicited to discount
$5,000 or $10,000 worth of tbem, and
that finally he was pressed to favor
O'Brien and Clark, aqueduct contractors,
in the letting of bids, although not the
lowest bidders, in order that the Gover
nor's notes might be taken care of. The
aqueduct investigation is rich with just
such democratic jobbery, and if the unit
ed republicans of York state cannot re
deem that state with the aid of such dis
closures we shall miss our guess.
Last evning's Journal contains an
anonymous attack upon Hon. Allen Bee
sen, whose character is worth more in
this community than the entire Journal
concern with its anonymous correspon
dence thrown in. The annonymous at
tack upon a man like Mr. Beeson made
in a newspaper of the breed of the Journ
al needs no refutation. The so acrimo
nious appology for admitting such a com
munication is even more cowardly and
disgusting than the attack itself. As a
lawyer, a public servant or a gentlemen,
Mr. Beeson needs no defense against the
mud battery of the man who talks about
the seriousness of the offense "Malfeas
ance in office. Opinions upon such a
subject from such a source puts us in
mind of the "Royce fund." This com
munity may rest assured that the com
munication in question emanates froiuja
source which will be exposed in due
time, and the animus as well as the char
acter of its author will be shown up in
all its interesting features.

GAMBLERS TRICKS.
METHODS BY WHICH THE Pro
fessional REAPS 'A HARVEST.
Card Marked So That the Hack Are a
Significant m the Fronts Doable Faro
Box, Reflectors and Hold Onto A
Sore Winner.
"Fair gambling f There is no such thing,"
remarked a commercial traveler, whose ter
ritory lies in the west, but who makes fre
quent trips home to Philadelphia to see his
wife and little ones. "I never touch the
cards any more," continued he, "but I used
to be an inveterate gambler, and have lost
many dollars at keno, faro, poker and other
games. I played every kind of 'system,'
thinking I would strike one that would in
sure success. But I found that whila I some
times won, more often I lost, and I began
an investigation that ended in a decision
that I would never gamble again, and I have
kept my resolution so far. But did I never
find an honest gambler f I cant say that I
ever did; that is, a professional. Some of
them are good hearted fellows, and are al
ways ready to extend a helping hand and
purse to the needy. But they get into a game
they would cheat their own relatives, it has
become so much of a second nature to them.
Many of them look upon their gambling as a
trade, and consider the cheating a necessary
part of it.
"But about my investigations into the
gambler's tricks. Yes, 1 was coming to that;
only give me time. I concluded that the
only way was to get on the 'inside, as it
were, and 1 began to cultivate the acquaint
ance of a man who had run a game at one
time, but was then taking a rest. He knew
that 1 had gambled considerably, for I had
lost many dollars at bis place, and when I in
timated to him that I wanted to purchase an
outfit and start a house on my own account,
he said be was just the man to put me through
in good shape. He said he was interested in
a place where all kinds of gambling para
phernalia, and especially those for 'sure
things,' or trick games, were manufactured.
I made an engagement with him and met
him a week later. After cautioning mo to
bo very careful, he took me to the top floor
of a large building, where wo found an ex
tensive manufacturing establishment, and
introduced me to the man in charge. In this
room were countless numbers of chips, cards,
deal boxes, faro and roulette layouts, red
and black, hazard, sweat, keno and all con
ceivable kinds of gambling devices. Tho
room was large, and everywhere the eye
wandered it rested upon gambling imple
ments of some kind.
THK pQTJBLE DEAL BOX.
"The man banded me a prico Jisfc of ar
ticles and then showed me his trick faro deal
boxes, made of German silver. He also
showed me an article by which the cards
were cut for the box, and then putting the
cards in the box, showed me how, as the
cards were cut a certain way, the dealer
could always teU the next pard to the one on
top. He then showed me what they call the
doublo deal box that is, a box out of which
two cards instead of one can be taken at
once, and the players cannot discover the
trick. These are what are called sanded
cards, and ettofc together, requiring a certain
amount of pressure to force tbem apart. He
also showed me a circular containing a fac
simile of the backs of eight different sets of
marked cards, which he said were pew de
signs. These were about No. 70 on the list,
showing that they manufactured that num
ber of differently marked packs of cards.
For these new designs he asked $1.50 a pack.
He then gave me an estimate of what a faro
lay out would cost, and figured it up to about
ninety-one dollars.
"Tuiking in a general way, he said the
business was worth $?,000 a year, as they
dealt with parties all over the country and in
Europe, but they did not want it known that
they manufactured - implements for cheating
or trick games. They did their business en
tirely through the mail, and no one, as a rule,
was permitted in the room. Jty friend, the
ex-dealer, said that the proprietor traveled,
selling the gambling devices in the west and
southwest, and disposed of a great many.
''He then explained the trick cards to me
and showed how a man could always win
with them. In a game, when it was his 'deal
or 'edge,' he could tell the next card that was
going to be dealt, and could have thus virtu
ally fcix cards to the other player's five. One
of the packs, upon whleh he particularly
prided himself as bc3ond detection, was a
card marked with a very fine brush. I bought
this in;ck and showed the cards to a number
of jiersons, who declared the marks to be be
yond detection by any one not acquainted
with tliem. The ink used for marking was
such that it could pot spoil the glaze on the
cards, and tho marks consisted o a few more
veins iu one leaf than in another, and in the
bunch of leaves was a combination. Tho in
itiated gambler could read this combination
across a wide table and tell the cards his ad
versary held in his hand.
THE "COAT HOLD OCT."
"The device which was next bhown me was
declared to be the perfection and acne of all
devicjs. He called it a 'coat hold out.' It is
a contrivance by which, in a game of poker,
from one to three cards can be held up the
sleeve until they can be used to advantage.
This clamp or spring in the sleeve is worked
from the knees. While the knees are kept
pressed together the cards are held, and when
the knees aro separated the cards dpop down
in the hand for use. To accomplish this trick
without the possibility of detection it is well
to wear large cuffs, that can be s'.id down
partLiUy over the hand to cover the cards
falling down from the sleeve. For this con
trivance he wanted $150. He also informed
me that he had a ring 'hold out' and a vest
'hold out,' but these I did not see. Then he
showed me what be called reflectors, which
consisted of mirrors set in silver dollars and
fifty-cent pieces, and by a dexterous and
proper use of them the skin gambler can tell
tho cards held by the other players. For
these he wanted $10 apiece. Many other de
vices for the use of the skin gambler in
swindling his victims were shown me, and I
thought that it was little wonder that I had
lost so much when I was one of these victims.
"I promised to decide in a few days upon
the articles I would purchase and left the
place. It is unnecessary to state that I did
not go back again. With the pointers I had
gained it was comparatively easy for me to
detect the use of the swindling devices in the
many games I visited for some time after
that. I found some of the tricks at every
place, and was not long in coming to the con
clusion that all gambling was more or less
crooked and much of it more. I did not give
up gambling for some time, however, for I
wanted to be sure of it, and I associated with
many professional card sharps when out on
trips to observe their tricks. All appeared
gentlemanly and obliging that is, those I I
went with, but it seemed Impossible for them
to help cheating when they had the cards in
their hands.
"Did I ever Me the marked cards used out
side of regular gambling houses? I should
aay I have. Many times in private parties
have I seen an otherwise reputable man
swindling bis friends with them. "Philadel

We accent the issue, and cuuudeutly appeal to

We denounce the Mills' bill as destructive to

reduction cf the national revenue by repealing
the taxes on tobacco, which are an arrogance
and burden to agriculture, and the tax upon
spirits used in the arts and for mechanical pur

THE MOKMOA QUESTION.
The political power of the Mormon church in

OUR MERCHANT MARINE,

we protest against Ihe passage by congress of

various Industries, Increased security to our
country, promote trade, open new and direct
markets for our urodticts and cheapen the cost
of transportation. We affirm this to be far
better for our country than toe democratic
policy of loaning the government's money
without interest to "pet banks."
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
The conduct of foreign affairs by the present
au ministration uas oeen uirtiuguisneu oy met
licleiicy and cowardice. Iluvinq: withdrawn
from the senate all pending tieaties effected
by republican admlnistratiors for the removal
of foreign burdens and restrictions upon our
coinmeice and for Its extension into a better
market, it has neither affected nor proposed
any others in their stead. Professing adher
ence to the Monroe doctrine, it has seen with
idle complacency the extension of foreign in
fluence iu Central America and of foreign trade
everywhere among our neighbors. It has re
fused to charter, sanction or encourage any
American oruanizytion lor constructing tne
Nicaragua canal, a work of vtal importance to
the maintenance oi the Monroe doctrlue and
of our national influence in Central and South
America, and necessary for the development
oi trade with our facluc territory, with South
America, and with the further coasts of the
Pacific Ocean.
FISHERIES QUESTION.
We arraign the present demoi-ratic adiniuis
t rat ion for its weak and unpatriotic treatment
of the fisheries question, and its pusillanimous
surrender of all privileges to which our fishery
vessels are en til led in Canadian ports under
the treaty of 1818, the reciprocate rnariii
tine legislation of l&M) and comity of nations.
aud which Canadian nsbing vessels receive in
the ports of the United States. We con Jemu
the i ollcy of the present administration and
the democratic majority iu congress towards
our fisheries as unfriendly and couspiciout-ly
un pat riot ic and as tending to destroy a valuable
national iuuiinii y ami an inuispensioie resource
of defense against ft reign enemy.
The name of American applies alike to all
cilizens of the rep.iblt, aud imposes upon men
alike the same oi-ligatioa of obedience to the
awn. At llie same time ci'i.enship is and must
be the panoply and safeguard of him w ho weais
it, should shield and protect him whether high
tr low, rich or poor, in all his civil rights. It
should and must afford him protection at home
and follow and protect him abroad in whatever
land he may be on a lawful errand.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
The men who abandoned the republican par
ty in 1SS4 and continue to adhere to the demo
cratic party have deserted not only the cause
of hoi. en government, but of sound finance, of
freedom .and purity of the ballot, but espec
ially have deserted the cause of reform in the
civil service. We will not fall to keep our
pledges because they have broken theirs, or
because their candidate has broken his. We
t hercfore repeat our declaiation of 1884, towit :
The reform of civil service auspiciously begun
under republican administration should be
completed by afurther extension of th" reform
system already established by law to all grades
of the service to which it s applied. Tliespir
it and purpose of reform should be observed in
ail executive appointments, and all laws at
variencewith the object of existing reform leg
islation should be repealed, and that the dan
gers to free institutions which lurk in the pow
er ofott cial patronage nii.y be wisely and ef
fectively avoided.
The gratitude of the nation to the defenders
of the union cannot be assured except by laws.
The legislal ion of congress should conform to
the pledges made by a loyal people, and be so
enlarged and extended as to prov'do against
the possibility that any man who honorably
wore the federal uniform shall become au lu
mate of an almshouse or dependent ou private
charity, lit presence of an overflowing
treasury it would b a public scandal to do less
for those whose valorous service preserved the
government. We denounce the hostile 6pirit
shown by President Cleveland in his numerous
vetoes or measures for-pension relief. and the
action of the democratic house of representa
tives iu refusing even consideration of general
pension legislation.
in support oi the principles herewith enun
ciated we invite the co-operation of patriotic
men ail paiucj, especially ot all working
