With New York as the place, aud the
Fourth of July as the date of the next
Democratic National Convention, it will
be the most accurate representative body
that ever met in this country. Isife- city
is itself truly Democratic one. Its
Democratic majority of sixty Thousand
is made up of as brutal and degraded set
of politicians as eyer disgraced American
politics. The city itself is the great
social sore of tine country. The Fourth
of July, which is celebrated by steady
drinking from morning till night, is the
day of all days when New York wears
its most animating aspect. Tie ''ierce
Democratic" will be unusually turbulent
under such circumstances as these, and
if the Convention is concluded without
riot and violence it will be more har-
monious and decent than we expect it
to be. v -'+.
