portant fact that all those advocating the NOM
nation Of new ticket were themselves candi-
dates for some judicial position. Their names
were the principal ones voted for, and monop-
olized every Office named, almost TO the exclu-
sion Of everybody else. To know who are the
candidates, all that is necessary il to read over
the names Of those who opposed endorsing the
present Judicial officers. All must admit that
this is one of the most remarkable cases of dis
interestedness ever developed in this city.
Tho Tammany Hail Mass Ratification
Meeting This Evening.
The loyal democracy Of the city Of New York
will assemble at the Cooper Institute this even
ing to ratify the State ticket and endorse the
State platform. The Hon. Montgomery Blair,
Major General Slocum, the Hon. John Van
Buren, and the Hon. James T. Brady are an
nounced as speakers, and Dean Richmond has
come to town to superintend the arrangements.
New York city is the stronghold Of democratic
strength In the State, and during the darkest
days Of the war, when the party of the interior
was controlled by the copperheads, there was
always in this city . loyal leaven that has pre-
served the party from entire corruption. Now
that the war is over President johnson finds
his firmest supporters among those democrats
who are led by John Van Buren, and whose
opinions are expressed in the platform drawn
up by John B. Haskin.
The meeting tonight will undoubtedly be
large and enthusiastic, and unanimous The
new political ring, that has been 80 soon
formed and broken, will not be represented
there. Montgomery Blair will deliver one OF
his elaborate essays, with side hits at Stanton

The dangers of the democratic party have
always been from the copperheads during tho
past four years. The conduct of the war placed
the control OF The government within the reach
of the democrats repeatedly; and once, in
1862, under the lead of the HERALD, they were
wise enough TO grasp II in the State elections.
But in 1863 the copperhead element again pre-
vailed and threw away power, and in 1864 the
same element constructed the rotten Chicago
platform through which the democratic cand-
dates fell into oblivion. During the present
year we have seen the copporhead element
ruin the party in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and
render lis chances Of success very risky even
in New Jersey. Here in New York, however,
we are presented with straight loyal, Andy
Johnson ticket, and strong loyal, Andy john
son platform, with no copperhead candidate on
the former and no coppcrhead plank in the
latter. The Democratic State Convention
admitted the Tammany Hall delegation, and
that only-shuiting the door in the face Of
Wood, McKeon and every other coppcrhead.
There is nothing, therefore, on the record to
prevent the triumph Of the party that, under
these circumstances, endorses President John
son and is endorsed by him, over the radical,
negro-sufrrage, negro-worshpping republicans,
