AN EMPHATIC CONDENSATION OF BLACK RE
PUBIICANISM

PUBLICANISM
That blackrepubhcanism has forfeited all claim to
respect by honest, well-meaning men in New York,
as well elsewhere, is most ndubitaby established
by evidence which political effrontery cannot deny,
and too clear for impudence to dispute 1t is alleged
that committee of one branch of black-republican-
ism in that State were recently in session and
pressed opinions upon acts of party. The true ac-
count Of the action of that meeting has become the
subject of newspaper controversy in the State.
Lieut. Governor Selden questions the accuracy of
the published statement His known personal
character for honesty and integrity precludes the
possibility of his intending to deceive. But ON this
very account it is not probable that he was fully ap
prised of all that occurred openly and privately, as
few really honest men of that party were ever admit
ted fully to all the secrets But what really occur
red, whether known to him or not, is thus stated in
the Buffalo Republic, edited by as high-minded a
man as exists in that party, and reiterated from per-
sonal knowledge after the disclaimer by Lieut. Gov
Selden, as followss

aded andnously 1t was not thought best to give them
publicity, and hence they were not published"
That the radical democrats in the black-republican
ranks condemned the action of that party cannot be
reasonably doubted.

THE PROSPECT IN OHIO
The Ohio Statesman says:

We are by no means Of an over-sanguine tempera-
ment and therefore feel the justified in declaring
70 our friends everywhere that the prospect for complete
democratic victory next October is of the most atterng
character The struggle going between the par.
ties Is one Of extreme severity but from the first day Of
the canvass the conviction has been strong in the mind
OF every democrat and of very many Of the republicans
that the democracy are destined TO achieve triumph
most signal and sweeping.
