THE MEEITs OF SEYMOUR AND FLAIR.
The New York s Uh IS very funny over the
dilemma of the Democracy. II suggests that
the 81 90 recently contributed to the S.w
York National COMMITTEE b. spent IN altering
the banners and trans spareUcies ct the Democ-
racy, painting oct the Iikenesses of Seymour
and Blair, and substituting those OF their sue
oeSsors. OF the candidates the sun saws:
'Seymour is a good man-a good man to live

has large stock OF copper on hand. and mignt

'.As for Blair-we cou't think II is a good

after Seymour. Only political adyenturer
would accept the chance. and with such q

that Democracy would act wisely even at this
late day IN adopting other candidates instead of
platform is desirabe. We suggest to them
Grant ard Colfax as splendid lamrs, and the
chicago platform as very taIr declaration OF

The Post gives the same advice, and adds:
.Whatever the Democratic leaders do must of
course be- done quickly; we do not mean to
thrust our advice upon them, but If they reject
