SUNSET cox,

Two opposite tendencies, two radically d.
verse interests, are struggling for the mastery
of the Democratic party in our City. The
issue is distinctly made up between honesty
and fidelity to public trusts on one side arrayed
against rapacity and rascality on the other.
The leaders on the side of uprightncss
and integrity ara Charles OCOnor, Sam
ucl j. Tildcn, Daniel +. Tiemann,
William C. Barrett, and their class; while the
other side is fifty Differed by William M.
Tweed and his confederate plunderers. Tho
former seek to rescue their party from the
shame and impotence to which the crimes OF
it's betrayers have consigned it; the latter use
it as q stealing machine, needless of its dis
grace and reckless of its future.
Mr.. Samuel s. Cox, our carpet-bag Repre-
sentative in Congress, has deliberately chosen,
in full view of the astounding developments
of the last six months, to cast in his lot
with the thieves. lie was elected to their
Nominating Convention, whereof Boss
Tweed was the inspiring genius, attended and
presided over its deliberations, and addressed
it in language of fraternity and sympathy.
Whatever of character or consequence he may
have, he therefore gives to the support and
our City poor.
Nor did this suffice. Mr.. Cox attended and
fully fraternizcd with the meeting which ratl-
fled the nomination of Mike Norton for Sem
ator This Mike has for four years enjoyed
the hOnOrs and (bounteOus) emOluments OF
Senator, simply by virtue of his eminence as
"boss repeater" Nothing else than his
ability to poll moro votes from fewer voters
u - .aE
made him a Senator; nothing else than this
prominence in infamy IA cOrruptcr OF the
ballot boxes now keeps him aflOat. Sometimes
pretending to rebel against the Tammany Ring,
he has supported every one of the mOnstrOus
Tax Levics of the last four years, and all the
rest of the robbcries devised and put through by
Tweed g. Co. lie knew how villainOus was and
il the Tweed Charter of 1870; he would gladly
have defeated it; yet, finding that its passage
was assured, he did not vote against it. 1t was
proved in judicial proceeding and not denied
that he employed at least one man Gas he
doubtless did severaD in his stables to whom
he paid no wages, but who was paid liberal
salary out of the City's treasury Ostensibly for
services in the Controllers department, where
he never pretended to show himself unless to
draw his salary. And one Of his organs yestcr-
day, in announcing his ratification meet
ing, boosted that he would have Eight
Thousand majority in the With Ward, where
the late Census shows that there are but 7,246
adult male citizens, of whom at least 1000 are
Republicans Grswold having ,719 votes there
for Governor in 'G9, while not less than 500 Col
Ored Men have since been enfranchised by the
XVIII Amendment.)
Mike Norton is not worth so long al article
as this but had not the With Congress district
right to expect better things of its repre-
cantotiunq

The courts are testing the Mormon question
in every possible way. The latest is that of II
suit brought by a ninth wife for divorce and
alimony. One Mrs Clayton has come to the
conclusion that the ninth part of wife is
much more insignificant than the ninth part
of man, and has applied for separation
from the pOygamous Clayton. The examina-
ton of his case, of course, would disclose the
fact that the defendant is bgamist, so he
prefers that the suit shall be brought in the
Probate COurt-a Mormon cOncern-which re-
cognizes bigamy as religious obligation.
The complication is a curious one and friends
of fair play and mOnogamy will be glad to see
the much-married Clayton kept in the United
States Courts.

UPTOWN.

Henry w. Genet is a smart fellow person
ally, but too expensive. When the City was
flush, and uptown lots doubled in value at
least every second year, she might possibly
afford such a Senator; but, now that she Is
poor as Jobs turkey, and Obliged to retrench
and economic on every side, she cannot
support Harry's dogs and horses, and yacht,
and other extras, without too great sacrifice.
Harry was poor as q crow when he entered
her SERVICE he has lived like fghting-cock
ever since; he has not meantime earned
dime outside of politics; and-in short, he Is
luxury unsuited to our present stern exl-
gcncy. Turn him out to grass while, and
we may perhaps recruit so as to be able to
stand him for another term. Now, 1T cannot be.
The old Republican organization of his dis
rrict (XIItb, XIXtb and XXlld WardS) has
therefore most wisely and righteOusly deter
mined tits first excellent nominee, Christian
Schwartz, having declineO to support the Hon.
DANIEL F. TIEMANN for Senator. MIR. Tiemann
needs no introduction, no commentator. de
is and always was a Democrat; he is not
and never was thief No Office would prove
IA source of personal profit to him; he always
has earned, always will earn, his living by
useful industry He has competence already;
but, if he were poor as Lazarus, he would not
make one cent out of the SenatOrship beyond
his SO per day.
The only obstacle to his election is the in
terpostion of a third candidate, in the person
of William Haw, jr., Collector Murphys fugle-
man at Harlem. We did not before recognize
him as a wag; but Haw's running for the
Senate is the broadcast farce of the season. He
will of course be last in the race if heiperslsts
in running, but we insist that Murphy shall
withdraw him. This is no time for joking; let
the matter be treated seriously, as it deserves.
At the election of 1869, Myer Stern was the
sole Republican candidate; and there is no
worthier or better man; yet the vote was
declared-Genet 1850; Stern 5,739: Genets
majority 1901 hence it will be seen that if
every Republican should vote for Haw, and
the Democratic vote be almost equally divided
between Tiemann and Genet, Haw could not
possibly be elected: Republicans of the With
District if you want to sell your votes, apply
to Genet; if you prefer an honest and frugal
Senator, be sure to vote for Tiemann! Haw
is nowhere.

If it be true, as reported from Toronto, that
the Dominion Government has resolved not
to ask for the restitution of the stolen
schooner Horton, the very wisest course has
been pursued. If the Canadians were disposed
to be pragmatc, they could make things very
uncomfortable for our people, as a grave and
troublesome complication Is involved in the
question; but knowing, probably, that the
vexatious and unfriendly fishing regulations
which have been the occasion of this diff
Guilty are really inconsistent with any spirit of
international comfy, the Dominion Govern
ment shows o disposition to hush up the
matter and say nothing about it.

vague and inadequate to the emergency, and
did not deserve success but it failed from

Diverging interests can only be combined in
an efficient association for common purposes
through mutual concessions. This is true not
merely of individuals but of States and it is
owing to the failures to comprehend this fact
that no powerful government has been consti-
tuted within the boundaries of the present Aus
trO-Hungarian Monarchy except upon the subor-
dination of the public welfare to the interests of
q dynasty. 1t has been very appropriately re-
marked of that Monarchy that it never was
State, but an Empire of Empires, Throne of
Thrones, Crown of Crowns. Whatever Of

THE CRIME OF BALLOTBOX STUFFING.
Whoever attentvely regards the current of
political discussion in our State must be
struck by the freedom and vigor with which
our Democratic RefOrmers denounce illegal
and fraudulent voting, as also what Mr..
O'Conor so forcibly terms :" that false can
"vassing, which is the last diabolical resort
" of official villainy." They all speak of this
as an evil whose existence is notorious
and whose proportions are gigantic. They treat
the recent elections in this City as the farces
they VIGOROUSLY were, and as having debased
the Elective Franchise into hollow mockery
"a transparent sham. They set forth the truth
that, so long as Tweed g. Co., through their
obedent tools, count the votes, it matters not
straw how great majorities may be rolled up
against them. To watch the ballot-boxes
from daylight on Election morning till the
last vote shall have been canvassed and re-
turned, is, in their view, far more important
than to enlighten, persuade and convince the
voters who still cling blindly to the skirts of
the City's spoilers.
Ihese men knOU whereof they affirm. They
nhderstood long ago that Sickles was counted
into Congress over Walbridge that Hoffman
was declared Mayor when Roberta had much
the larger vote, and that he was swindled into
the Governors chair when Griswold had a
legal majority. They know that the predomin-
ance OF the Tammany chiefs in City and
State is based and-built upon fraud at elec-
tons, and that this is their main reliance for
