have rarely witnessed better feeling prevalent in the
democratic ranks than that which anima,e the rep
resentatives of the party assembled in Washington There
is strong feeling OF harmony and mutual concession We
believe that the same feeling exists among the democratic

entable exception of the democracy of the Empire
State viii New York long permit herself to form

patriotism of the New York democracy loudly and

that they may act tremendously at least in the election
which is to give US the next President OF the State

appears to us that some common platform Of action in

be surely found. Among the distinguished statesmen
of the democratic party whose names will come before

the democracy of New York may undoubtedly have its
preferences But have yet to learn that these prefer
of such character to prevent the party in
New York from voting in solid column for the nominee
of the convention provided only that the proceedings in
New York preliminary the national convention be not
conducted to exasperate and aggravate the differ

TONS We believe that the democracy of the States con.
tguous to New York all sides, will unite readily and
cordially to sustain the action Of the convention aud
elect its nominee We believe that the will be the
same at the south. 1t behooves the democracy of New
York to see to it in time that unnecessary obstacles to
similar harmony be thrown in its way
