 We have never seen . more gdisgracefu1 exhibition of partisanship than the Bridge port Farmer has exhibited toward the New York reformers., 1t defended Tam many up to the last meinent, and is busy even to the present time in denouncing the Committee of Seventy: We quote the following from it's issue of week before last {:
 "The Farmer denounced the Committee from the first hour of its organization and each success sive step of the Committee confirmed our ludg- ment. Had the New York World and other Dem- ocratic organs and leaders been as outspoken a Js2pth eHa saAh n9u het. the mischief has been
 It has been passing strange to us that our friends in New York should not have seen at once what was apparent to every one else the evident design of the Committee of Seventy 0 bet.dy d.e Denocrntfc Pdrty." .,--r4 bf-asotalsi
 Last week in speaking of the fs Murphy resolutions" so called, it says baox
 ''Such 6 resolution was made possible only by the insane conduct of New York Democrats and Greeley Republicans in allowing the Seventy to h0odwink them. And these same men are now blindly aiding the Seventy and the Times in car rying out their legislative schemes"
 To the infamous Seventy, as the Far mer is pleased to call the committee which led the successful revolt against the Ring, is probably due the defeat which that pa- per regrets.i And this, then, is the Far mer notion of fealty to his party; to join a most righteous and popular uprising against { combination of Democratic thieves who were not only robbing tax payers, but bringing our republican sys- tenn of government to naught by cheating at the polls and in the count after the polls are closed, is ''to betray the Demo cratic partyT As Q Republican we could ask nothing better than such definition of Democratic duty. As an American cit izen we rejoice that the Farmer theory has been so thoroughly repudiated by such Democrats as Horatio Seymour, Samael J. Tilden, and by thousands of the Demo cratic rank and file in New York city. One Farmer trait we rather like. While nearly every other Democratic paper is yelling ''stop thief after Tweed, that fallen states man can count on at least one faithful and Outspoken friend-the sole remnant of a once large Connecticut following. .o
 We print on our outside, half of an ex- cellent article on Railways and the State, " attributed to Dr. Leonard Bacon. The rest will be given next week.
