had It all fixed, with the nomination Ont and
dried, and glorious speech for Chase, nicely
written out, nicely folded up, in his pocket
and ready for delivery
We know what waS done, and we have had
an ipkliDg of the consequences. The Demo-
cratic politicians and jugglcrs, including Sey
mour, scorning, in their silly self-conceits, our
advice and our warnings, have come to grief
Ihey begin to understand that calm looker-on
OF some experience at a battle, from point above
and beyond the smoke and confusion of the
Held, can tell better the shaping and weak
points of the fight on both sides than any of
those actively engaged. Now, after their late
reverses under Seymour, some of these Demo-
cratic politicians, with their party newspaper
Bohemians, gypsies, and camp followers, pro-
pose to adopt our counsels of last June and
July. We have also some Of the Tammany
clique, who are more interested in Hoffman
than Seymour. Hoffman himself would, no
doubt, be glad to be relieved of Seymour. We
suspect that Seymour stood in his way in the
Tammany Convention; for Hoffman had aspired
to be something better than Governor, and
better than tail to the kite of Seymour. But
the tables are turned, and Seymour as a can
didate now appears as a tail to the kite of
Hoffman. The Bohemians of the Manhattan
ring have reduced Seymour to this position,
and Hoffman says nothing. Dsgusted with
all these intrigues and jugglings and paltry
tricks and double dealings Of the managing
politicians, cliques and rings, and hungry
Bohemians of the New York Democracy, we
may look for a crushing verdict against them
from the people of this Commonwealth in
November.

shriekipg. II will not stop. Neither the pro-
tests of the party press, nor the disavowals Of
the party committee, seem to have the slight
est effect in silencing its olamor. 1t shouts for
help.
Its desperate condition may be inferred from
the fact that it looks to Seymour for advics
and to Blair for action. II praises Seymour
and exalts the wisdom of the Democratic Con-
vention for putting him in nomination. What
ever has been done that is wrong, has not
been done by Seymour. He is wise and pa
triotic and ''sound." cater these defeats
says the World, "the masses of the Democracy
need words of encouragement from their
trusted leader" That's true-but they won't
get them. Seymour never encourages any
body; he never feels encouraged himself. He
does not get ''discouraged' as often as Blair,
perhaps, but his encouragement is Of astrange
type. 1t strikes deeper and lasts longer.
The country and the army looked to Sey-
mour, then Governor of New York, for
swords of encouragement" during the war.
Did they get themR Not much. The Gov
ernor made good many speeches, and wrote
good many letters; but there was not much
encouragement" in any of them. They were
more doleful than any ditties ever said or
sung. The Lamentations of the lamentable
prophet jeremiah were cheerful and insprit-
ing songs, compared with the dismal diatribes
and woful prophecies of this Democratic
Solon. He bewailed the successes of our sol
diers more than their defeats. Successful
coercion" was to him more disastrous than
successful rebellion" The most "encoursg-
ing" thing he said during the war was that it
had proved "failure." The most cheerful
observation he is recorded to have made was
in his speech to the rioters, that his Adjutant
had gone to Washington to stop the draft
We hope the World will persevere in its
effort to get something encouraging" out of
Horatio. 1t cannot fail to do good-when it
comes. But we would not advise our dis
tressed neighbor to wait too long for it, or to
count too confidently on getting it at all.
Don't let Blair off while waiting for Sey-
mour. Insist on his giving his party the
benefit of his "chivalric action" without
waiting for Seymour's ''sober counsels of
sincere statesman, who knows no art but
robust integrity" So far as the Democracy
is concerned, that is one of the "Lost Arts"
and We don't think that the World is likely
to recover it through Governor Seymour's
agency.
However, there is nothing like perseverance
in good cause. Let the World, therefore,
persevere. If pressed vigorously Blair may
not surrender, but Seymour will be very likely
to say something. We advise the World to
"push things -

capable of putting things in such light that
candid opponents in the Seuate will nor refuse
81 cir corporation. The moderation, the self.
pc ise, the calm and courageous confidence of u

1t was our wish then, as it is our determi-
nation now, that the views Of Governor Ssy-
mour and not those attributed by the Repub-
licans TO General Blair, should be regarded as
the basis OF the campaign Of the Democratic
side. Tens Of thousands of crednlous citizens,
who incline towards the Democratic party,
have been retained in the Republican ranks
by the raw-head- and bloody bones of another
civil war. The absurdity of this bugbear led
US TO underestimate its capacity for mischief
1t is astonishing that any body could have be-
Iievtd that the Democratic party meant to dis
perse the negro legislatures by the Federal
army; but 1t is not at all surprising that those
who did so believe should vote against us. AS
it was some imprudent expressions of General
Blair that gave color to this foolish fear, his
withdrawal is the shortest way to correct the
misapprehension.
General Blair, with a chivalry which does
him credit, has already expressed his willing
ness to withdraw, If the good of the party re-
quires it. We think reflection will convince
him that the ticket would be stronger if some
other name were substituted for his. The
practical effect of the ticket, as now made up,
does not correspond to its theory. The
theory was, that the candidate for Vice -Presi-
dent should be general and recent Repub-
lican, in order to commend the ticket to the
favorable consideration of dissatisfied Repub-
licans. But, in point of fact, General Blair
is much harder man for such citizens to
vote for than Governor Seymour himself.
Instead of softening hostility to the ticket,
General Blair intensifies it. If 80 new a
recruit to the Democracy was not put on the
ticket to conciliate Republicans, we can ina
gine no good reason why he should be there
at all Has he conciliated Republicans? Is
there any waverer in that party who could
more easily vote for General Blair than for
lifelong Democrat General Blair is per-
fectly competent to answer this question.
The party, after having put him on the ticket,
feel it to be an upgracious thing to push him
off; but if he thinks the cause would be bsne-
flied by his withdrawal, and that some other
name would better suit the true theory of the
ticket, he can gracefully perform an act which
would entitle him to Democratic gratitude,
and raise his reputation for chivalry and pub
lie spirit.
