DEMOCRATIC SuNsHINE.-1he New York
Sun has done the handsome thing ut last.
We knew its editor had some virtue and
manhood left. 1t has thrown off its neutral
and independent colors. and boldly takes
its stand in favor Of the Democratic State
ticket. 1t no longer sails under false colors.
but comes to the front without blush, and
indorscs the action of the Rochester Con-
vcntion with q force and earnestnesS cha
ructcristic Of a new convert.
So far, the Sun is straightforward but
when it undertakes to say that tho man.
ayers of the Convention were in accord with
the reform Democrats of this city, it don't
play ostrich worth n continental copper
The great master spirit of that Convention
was William NJ. Tweed, and everybody
knows that he is in accord with the reform
Democracy of New York Besides, the
action of the Convention, excluding them
in the indecent manner it did, showed be.
You'd any question that 1t was in accord
with the Democratic reformerS But let
Us rejoice, the Sun no longer shines for all
it lights up now exclusively for tho Demo
cratic ticket and the defeat of anything that
even smiles on Grant. Let the Sun have
credit for this bold and manly cour=c.~.
