The Democratic State Convention Of New
York not only owes it to itself but to the
party throughout the Ration. both to dc
nouncc these frauds, and to utterly disown
and spew out Tammany and all its carpet
Dagger associations. 1t must wash its hands
of these filthy men and drive them out from
among them. In this way alone can the
democratic party of New York save itself and
the party OF the nation from the blasting in.
fuence OF these detcstable practices. Let us
leave to our opponents the approval OF fraud
and corruption by refusing to denounce it
from fear of injuring the party. All honest
men will appreciate that the party which
neglects to expose and denounce frauds by
their own associates must bear the odium and
suffer the consequences. Indeed, it becomes
the act of the party itself when it is approved
even by its silence or inaction. The mon
strous corruptions which have been commit
ted in the southern states in the name Of the
republican party will attach to that party
though all time. because they have not been
denounced by that party, and so have been
approved by it.. Nay more--they have been
directly approved by the party, for it has no,
hesitatcd to violate the constitution itself 70,
the purpose Of maintaining their corrupt par
:isans in power.
Wcmay recur to this subject, as future de
velopments, which the whole people are nov
watching with interet, may require.
