troftee out one OF us own Champions 10 TIE per
son OF Mr. David Turpie.
or course we know nothing whatever about
this Mr. Turpie, except that he was defeated in
the contest against Mr.. Colfax at the last cleo
ton; but the fact of his being the nominee of
convention where speeches were made In favor
Of an immediate and unconditional peace"
where our brave soldiers we're declared to be
engaged in wasing ian unholy war against our
Southern brethren" where the effort TO pre-.
serve the nation from dissolution by traitors
was stigmatized a. "a crusade against the liber.
ties and dearest rights of our Southern breth-
rem" end as IAN infamous contest" Is sufficient
in itself to point him out as an unit person to
occupy seat on the door Of Congress- much
less to take the place Of such loyal and up
right representative as Mr. 0olfax. The State
of Indiana has not much to boast Of in the
way of Congressional representatives. and we
do hope that at least the voters OF the South
Bend district will be unwilling to make the
matter worse by substituting Turpie for Co!fax.
Local Poiittcs-Tne Position OF Tam
tbs many Hall.
AT a meeting held last evening Tammany
Hall adopted the preambles and resolutions,
which WIFI be found in another column, reco m
mending the Chicago Convention to nominate
General Mcclellan for the Presidency. The
resolutions were unanimously and enthusiast
cally approved, and they show that old Tam
many still stands firm upon the war platform,
| and will not allow herself to be ruled out Of
| the, democratic party because the peace men
succeeded in disgusting her with the State con-
ventiou Outside of New York city the Mo-
z,rters, and the Young Coons. and the Nc
| Keonites are never heard OF, and Tammany
Hall is the only really well know local organi-
zation. Her leaders. bya shrewd man9uvre,
| these resolutions.
IF Tammany Hall will steadily pursue the
independent course into which she has now
been forced by combination Of circumstances
she will regain much Of her ancient prestige
Let her at once drop all Affiliations with the
Woods and the other peace men. Let her send
| the Mozarters, and the Young Coons, and the
| Old Coons, and the McKeonites .s"t,e&s focal
ttrxst, taking the wind out Of the sails OF the
reform party and the Citizens Association and
all such humbugs. She bas made move 10 the
right direction by this nomination Of Nc
Clellan. The city Of New York is undoubt-
| eddy for Mcclellan by large majority, and
l consequently Tammany will gain popularity
here and respect everywhere BY this bold and
decided stroke. Using this popularity dexter
ously, she can carry her whole ticket under
the shadow Of McClellans name Her record
since the beginning OF this war gives her every
advantage Always 10 favor Of an hoaorabe
peace. she has always periodically supported
the government in its struggle with treason
Now is her grand opportunity to make this
record tell. Both the people and the politi-
clans are tired Of the miserable c!ashing,
squabbling, bargaining and corruption Of half
dozen contemplate local cIiques. and would
gladly hail the reform We urge Tammany to
ipaugurate.
