New York, .1 uly -1. ? There was no doubt in the minds of most of th,> male population of this city today n j that there are strict excise Saws on the statue books, and also that the police are capable of enforcing these laws almost to the point (-1 absolute perfection. Never before in the history of this city, many people -ay, was the selling of beer and Ihjuor so ll~" generally stopped. It was absolutely "dry " in the city from the Battery to the annexed districts, and from icr. river to river last Sunday. There is no "fake' in the earnestil'e. noss of the police, as a number of ' saloon koe| crs dise? vered early in the ler. .Inc TUn I.iicmu. r...... > tl,.. ,..V.

Never before was there ever j such a police watch over the usual places for selling l?eor and liquors. Kvcry possible man on the force that i could he used was put on excise dut v. The men Averc in many ca>es made to undergo extra hours of dutv so as O I to watch saloons. The policemen an kept their eyes on all side doors to the saloons, and so close was the guard in that all chanehes of a quiet business , a were rendered impracticable. Many for woro the devices resorted to by saloon keepers to carry on business despite the vigilance of the police, hut onlv well-known patrons were admitted. "" The sweltering weather Avas thirsthall creating and especially in the teneto uiont house districts was there a bile great demand for beer. ?ou At some of the fashionable restaun(j rants or cafes in the Tenderloin, drinks could be easilv obtained l?v uro *. those whose dross indicated that thev were not spies.

When I wrote the summary of the suffrage schemes discussed by the Ring le ader: which I send in with this, I had 110 idea that it was so soon to receive diroet corroboration from the man win has been the head of the Reform movement from its very inception. Rut at a meeting held at Hunter's Ferry, ten miles from this j laee in Earnwell County today, Senator Tillman made a speech in which he i handled the matter, ami t am able to j i|iiotu hi> exact language on the I scheme. The meeting was one ol I ? the Karnwell County campaign meetings ami during the forenoon .speeches were made by the candidates in the county for delegates to the Constitutional convention. There were about persons present, nearly all of them being Reformers and about seventy-live being ladies. An excellent dinner was served, after which (iovcrnor Evans spoke, and then Senator Tillman laced the crowd. lleeamcout sipiarely and gave the scheme for the regulation of the suffrage, making reference to hi- remark at Rulgway when advocating the calling of the Constitutional e >nvention in which lie asked thepe-'plo to trust him and v<>te for the convention. lie state! t>? tii it in the spring after the "Forty conference he had served notice on all opposed to the Mississippi plan to get ready for the naar future. Then lie Filly Disclosi-io Tin-: jVitii.ml: as follows: '*1 1. \ e given a great deal of thought t this matter. The 15th., nmcniiu v .s an insuperable bur la ip permanciand lasting arri^tgr^^ir'yi 'iuy wcheTMt That - mayb? adopted can only be temporary andww^e largely dependent on white unity, as it is upon the administration of the law lather than in its language wo mu-t rvlv. This O O * has been the case with the legislation law and the eight box law. As long a* 'no discrimination on account of rate oi color' can be made, even an educational (jualitieatu n pure anu simple would only servo it? purpose of disfranchising the negro while lie remains ignorant, ilow then can we disfranchise illiterate negroes without at the same time taking the right of suflfragc from the same ela.-s of white men? It is easy enough ami cannot he called a fraudulent system, The Mississippi constitution provides that every voter must he registered and that the applicant for registration must he able to read a clause in the constitution or he aide to understand and explain it when read to him. The right to ju lge of the latter rests with the supervisors of registration. If the applicant van vr?:id !n> miut ln? r.Mf:i-rr>.I m1111 t: lore bo allowed to vote, l K ST ION Of I" XI?l-:ilST "If ho cannot, it is easy t?? set.' that the negro could im: understand, while the w liite man would. This is natural as the whites arc the limre intelligent race. Couple a provision forbidding registration after conviction for crime, and rotjuirc the applicant to he also possessed >1 a good moral character and you can see how many thousands of negrr.es will he disfranchised without fraud or without infringing on the loth., amendment to the I nited States Constitu i i >n. Should we ever have a government that would appoint registration ollieers wlm wanted to enroll the negroes as voters this | scheme would mo work. J?ut there is a difference between having it in the constitution and depending on the eight box and registration laws. I \ ..f .. I.:.

This would act as a spur to men of both races to fit themselves , for the suffrage and would not per petuatc the confessedly obnoxious but necessary provision of trusting to the judgment of the supervisor. The charge that such a system would perpetuate dishonest elections is false."' Tavfy Fort Womi;n. Continuing Senator Tillman said: 4>lf this scheme is not adopted, then, so far as 1 can see, there is nothing else to do but have uualificd ! O I ' woman's suffrage and hide behind petticoats. 1 am perfectly willing to give the women of trouth Carolina the right to vote when they ask for it, but I don't believe they want it. and until they do ask for it, i prefer the other plan. ' The above are Jvmator Tillman's exact words, and they pretty fully cover the all important matter, it may be added that this being the scheme the inaugurator of the lleform movement advocates, it will be almost certain to be adopted.
