He has shown that he is guided solely by
policy and noe by principle.
! Holman has, in fact, settled the ques-
ton which he said In his Fourth of July
letter to Iammany was now before us.
| That question, as he stated it, is, 'wheth
er In the future we are to be subjects OF
what Is commonly called strong govern
lnent, or shall continue to be strong
people. We are the subject of a strong
government administered by 4 strong peo-
pie, anG when the government Is not
quite SO strong as it should be, the peo-
pie will stiffen its backbone.
The Governor has had an illustration
of the admirable working of our system
in his own person. He will find, here
after, that there will be further demon
stratlon OF the perfection of the Ameri

the Will OF free, strong people. .-State

AN EXPLANATION.
Mayor Hall says that the Kelso order
was printed as early as Saturday, July s.
On Monday, the 10th, Gov, Hoffman
sent Gen. McQuade to the City Hall to
ascertain what preparations the Mayor
had made to preserve the peace of the
city. AS Order No. 81 had already been
printed two days. it is incredible that the
Governor should not have been made
aware at that time of the purpose of The
city authorities to suppress the parade.
His proclamation, issued on Wednesday
morning, was policy, enforced by the in
dignation of the public, and tue excuse
of ignorance, with which it began, must

shameful business. The proclamation of
the Mayor, it declares, has saved the
Irish Catholic vote of the city to the
Democratic party, and the proclamation
of the Governo. has conciiatel the ru
raj Democracy The Catholics will be
more devoted than ever to the City Gov
eminent; and the rural Democrats, both
of New York and New Jersey, will stand
firmly by their Democratic Governors.
If Superintendent kelso's order had
stood, the Radicals would have made a
great howl in the rural districts If it
had never been issued, they might have
detached some Irish Catholics in the
city. Both guns have been spiked. =
Well, this is frank, anyhow. 7. Ira-
