The New York Globe of Wednesday reviews the
whole ground in temperate and well-wrtten article,
claiming that the nominees of the Syracuse Convention
were" good and faithful men" regularly nominated The
Globe yet frankly admits its regret that Mr. Faggs
not placed upon the ticket by the convention,
and proceeds as follows
Whenever there is difference in the party, we are al
ways in favor of compromised harmony union-of
concert in acton but when the convention, which had
eceders both sides voting, nominated another candidate

opposition to uncaedor and dangerous. 1t is the
first time, in memory that whole party large and
powerful the democratic party this State has been
abandoned by its supporters and avowed friends because
a single individual was not nominated on the ticket.
Inerrng Gas we hope enormously from the language
of the Albany Atlas that this unpropitous policy Of
the democratic party in New York may have grown in
some degree, out of "hosy to the general adminstra

Nothing could be fair and open than the nomna-

In another article the Globe thus explains the difficult
ties which lie in the way of the wings in the Empire
