both indulging in remarkable series of antics
about the recent Democratic State Convention.
Ben Wood says that Mr.. John B. Haskin sold
out the party. Nonsense. The boot Is on the
other leg. Did Mr.. Haslin get twenty-five
thousand dollars on check from Montreal for
his salef And can that check be put in EVIL

is in very different humor from Ben Wood.
He laughs, and shouts, and cuts all sorts Of
capers over the fate of Confidence Cassidy, Man
tilini Marble, Secesh Seymour and the other
peace democrats. He declares that Mr.. John
B. Haslin has cut of all their heads at .
single blow; and for once poor Greeley Is
right Both the Wood brothers have lost their
heads, too; but this is not 80 much of loss to
Ben, since his head never had any brains In
it. No wonder, then, that Greeley chuckles,
and crows, and grins through column after
column of his paper, and cannot conceal his
delight at the fate of his old enemies, the
bunker democrats. Mr.. Haskin has certainly
polished them of and Greeley has good reason
for his mirth.
But when we look at the Tribune philosopher
we perceive that he is also without head.
That white hat is visible no more. His white
coat is streaked with gore. He has evidently
been under the guillotine. If we glance at
the Times Office we find that Weed and Ray
mond are equally headless. The Republican
State Convention has served them In the same
way that the democratic convention served the
butcher boy Cassidy, Of the argus; Mantilini
Marble, the man-milliner Of the World;
Secesh Seymour, of Utica, and all the rest
Of that set Seward sits grimly in his
bureau at Washington; but he, too, carries
his head under his arm. There never was .
greater triumph for the people and for Andy
johnson. All the old politicians are without
their heads, and are running about in this
most melancholy plight, not knowing which
way to turn. Under these circumstances
Greeley's laughter is forced and CHASTITY. If
he can grin and make faces at the bunker
democrats the hunkers can reciprocate by hold
ing up to ridicule the old line wings. There
has been general slaughter, and no one vic
tim has the moral right to poke fun at his
companions in misery. Andy johnson, OF

and the people were completely victorious
and the radical and rebel editors and politi-
clans, with their rubbish about arbitrary arrests
negro suffrage, military trials and unconditional
condscation, were massacred without mercy and
without the hope of resurrection.
The consequence Of this magnificent popular
revolution in both parties isethat this great,
this glorious State Of New York is unit for

there is only one platform, and that is Andy
Johnson's platform in every plank This ID

conventions, and it Ia result Of which New
