Charles O,Conor.

The two uplifted hands clasped together
on the clock do not more clearly indicate
meridian than the signs of the political dial
90 the choice of the first man in the first
city OF the Union for the Presidency.
Cnarles 0'Conor, in this supreme hour of
aanger to New Yorksand to popular insti-
trtions, has the confirmed confidence and
que; enthusiastic support of both political
parties as their champion against the
strongest ombination of rascals that ever
threatened the existence of Democracy,
He was indicated at once over all other
men by the instinct of the masses. He has
the hearty approval ofsthe superior think
ers and workers, among whOse~order he
stands at the head. He keeps his balance
he Keeps his counsel, he keeps his integri.
ty; he has communicated his lofty pur-
pose and confidence to the people. The
New York public acknowledges his great,
his inestimable worth to them, after a
long, trne and spotless life in the ranks of
his noble profession, all whose honors he
has won-tacile princeps.
CHARLES OConor is incorruptible. He is
q man of great genius, but the leader of
acter. He is the strongest Eastern friend
OF the Federal system: He knows tho
Constitution, and what laws {" arc in pur-
suance of it." He yields as we'll the
pen as the tongue. He is in the prime
OF oea health and energy, He never held an
SS3 o0o Aoo OCCl1ucO m8uys 110 IL u man
before whom Grant and all his corrupt al
lies would feel as helpless as does Tweed,
who would defy his tolls were it not for
the moral, intellectual, individual and pro-
fessional weight of the Peoples Accuser,
who has banished every private care and
claim for the public service, and who will
bind and drag to the altar of justice the
most powerful lot of felons this country
has yet produced. Such is his sacred char
acter that he can do these perilous deeds
and yet walk the streets of New York alone
and unarmed. What blessing to this
ruined, blasted and sinking land if Charles
O'Conor were to grasp the helm of State,
and get us back to the old track of the
Union under the Constitution. The whole
impudent route of pettifoggers in the Sen
ate and House of Representatives would
kneel down before the supremacy Of such
man, and the bewildered and smitten
caucus would hide its diminished head.
1t would be the year of jubilee FOR a
thousand good reasons, and not one bad
one. The whole West and South can re-
spond to the nomination, and Georgia and
Alabama should each at once put Charles
O'Conor in nomination. If the South says
SO, the Democratic Northwest will respond
with State majorities Of thousands. The
people would discover that they need not
despair of self-government, and we should
go into presidential campaign with every
assurance.-CincinnatiC ommonsr.

paid out heavily, and their funds have
gone into the banks. The Same firm e.,

SsLM SUNDAY.

The COMMUNICATION OF Ch1st's triumphai entry
into Jerusalem was duly made in most OF the
churches yesterday. At some OF the Protestant
churches discodrses were delivered wherein the
tickle conduct OF the Jews was frequently assimi-
lated to that of sinners who for moment praise
Jesus but arterward turn away their hearts from
Aim. In all the Catholic churches palm branches or
evergreen Doughs were blessed ar the early masses
and distributed to the congregation. After
Abe Gradual came the reading OF the pas
sion Of Jesus Christ as related by ST.
Matthew. The suferngs OF Christ from the
Last supper to His crucifxion are recounted
the people In the meantime bearing palms
In their hands. When the priest reached that part
OF the Gospel which describes the death OF Jesus all
fell upon their knees IN honor Of the contamination
Of mans redemption. At the end OF the mass the
narration OF our SaviOurs entry into the molly city
took place. Not only were the palms borne In pro-
cessi0n, but according to an ancient custom, they

Conspicuous position III the Catholic homes.

The Christian Expcdiency Of Keeping Sober
Sermon by the Rev. Alfred Taylor.
An announcement that the Rev. Alfred Taylor
would review the sermon recently preached by the
Rev. Dr. Duryea on the subject Of temperance, drew
together fair congregation yesterday afternoon at
the South Ninth street Congregational church, VIII
liamsburg.
The Rev. Mr.. Taylor took for his text the seventh
Of the twenty eighth chapter OF Isaiah:
they also have erred through wine, ana through
strong drink are out OF tie ways the priest and the
prophet have erred through strong drink they are
swallowed up OF wine, they are out Of the way
through strong drink; they err IN vision, they
stumble in Judgment" In commenting on the
text Mr. Taylor said that the whole Hebrew nation
had been

and by thus doing lost their nation But the sub
ject OF my discourse this afternoon is:-"Ihe
Christian Expedcncy Of Keeping Sober" What Is
Christian expediency' st. John explained It
when he advised MS TO keep our bodies
healthy and pure. Tile word eXpedient means
to be free OF foot, free i'll action. The word,
however, Is often used as an excuse Tor wrong
doing. In times gone by ant-slavery men were
called fanatics because 1t was not thought expeai-
ent to abolish slavery. At the present time tempe
rance men are called fanatics because it IS not
deemed eXpedient to forbid the use OF strong drinks.
And those who believe it expedient to indulge In
strong drinks find IN the Scriptures what they be-
forget that the Bible looks upon drunkenness with
disgust and that the Jewish priests were
forbidden by tt to drink wine while they
were on duty. because by SO dong they would
denlc their bodies. Now, If wine would denlc
the bodies Of these priests while they were on duty,
would 1t not have the same effect upon them when
on dutyY st. Paul evidently thought so when he
said IN denouncing drunkenness that nan mad

themselves for drinking wine because st. Paul

that these men would take that also ana take II as
frequently as they take the exhiarating vine? No.
