cry Of the defeated "rcform" advocates, ever

that to the misclIirVuus workings ofthe SOCIAL
ed reform party il 20 be attributed much ufthc
business Of the 81 Ssion, and much Of the delay
which has attended its deliberations Their
own chosen public officials have given the Leg.

treasures and deputies, n law-dciying and in
competent controller, State Prison contracts
&c.. the Legislature has warranty enough IL

If they desire to attend to the other details ol
their public duties. These complaints come
with IL bad grace from the anii-democratic

and the abuses and pccuations which were con.

But while they are g-umbling at q state OF
things produced by their own cXertions, some
of these E.ult-fndrrS are labOring to get up an.
other experiment in the party business line
likely 10 be as fruitful Of evil as the last. By a
union Of isms, they hope to rally "peoplc's
party'-a gathering up of the fag-ends of dis.
content, and their embodiment. as in the case
Of the great exploded reform party. The dis
inctiOn is without II difference, and the present
effort is as dishonest and power seeking as was
the last Give such II party sway, and another
chapter in official rascaty would soon be added
to our history, and succeeding Legislature be
called on to ferret out deeds Of darkness as dam.
ming as those which are now occupying the at
tentiOn OF our representatives,.
