THE RESTORATION OF CHIvALRY
RULE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

While We admire the bold consist
ency of the Democratic party in putting
forward their straight-outs for Office
we must confess that we think then
rashly audacious in repelling the Sof
wing of their party and giving the slash
ing old Chivalry faction the whole
a. say so" in the matter of nonina-
tons. Those of Us who date our polit.
'ical "reminiscences back to the high old
days in California, have an abiding re-
membrance of the Democratic conven-
tons which used to steadily avoid all
candidates for nomination except those
who could lay claim to the title of F.
F. v; and, watching the progress of
events and the effect of those strong cir
cumstances which alter cases we have
seen that party in the years Of its de-
preston and poverty put forth as their
candidates such ineffable Softs as II
H Haight. We have seen them win
cCDiS 'Iioiies Within tuc past Twelve
months, and we can therefore under
stand the reasons for their reckless con
faence of an ability to select men of
their secession wing this year.
Chase and Hancock and Doolittle
were pressed out of the Tammauy Con
reniion by the strong force of will ex-
erted by the Hunkers of the North and
the rebels of the South. There is no
doubt about that. The Vallsndinghams
aud Wade Hamptons said among them
selves, this is the year which offers
the only possible opportunity for the
State Rights, Pro Slavery Democracy

vic.ories-give US all or nothing 80
they nominated Seymour who did all be
could against the Union cause, and pu,
up Frank Blair who has promised to fire
the Southern heart for new rerolu
ton. As the spirit Of harmony which
prevailed at Chicag 60 permeates through
the National Union Republican party,
so does he defiant, aggressive spirit
which characterizes the action had in
Tammany find expression wherever and
whenever the Democracy have held then
State and County Conventions.

ticket lately put forth by that party in
that State is as rigidly Southern and
Chivalric as they would have dared to
place in nomination in the times when
G~in was the chief of that party. Look
At the ticket which was nominated here
