THE FAILURE or co-orHRkTrys ASSOCIATIONS.
From the N. Y. Tribune,l
That some industrial Associations have failed
does not prove either that they failed because
they were cooperative, or that many other CO.
operations have not succeeded. society can
not dinobey laws OF trade with any greater safety
than single capitalist, and society must be
we'll organized as to its distribution OF powers
and duties before i ia really to be considered
cooperative. No societyEcan cooperate untifit
contains all the elements and conditions Of Co
operation. For instance, parcel Of wild Indians
might combine to start an art gallery that
would not make co operative society, because
it would contain no conditions Of success. An
ofice-boy may ruin a banking corporation; so
the want of q good financier, or a capable pat
tsrn-maker. or an efficient superintendent or even
a thorough timekeeper, may prevent what would
otherwise be complete cooperation.
THE CHOICE RIDICULOUS.
From the N. Y. Times
It is easy TO laugh over such failure as this,
but after all there is something in it which is
calculated to check idle laugter. 1t is not en-
couraging to the friends Of popular govern
ment- There would have been something quite
Ineligible in the nomination Of such ticket
as Charles Francis Adams aud Trumbul. One
could easily have seen that such choice was
the expression of sentiment in the country
worthy Of sincere attention. especially il we'll
defined principles had been associa'ed with
these names. But to nominate man who is
or has been opposed to most OF the principles
avowed by the best members Of the conven-
tion-a man who has been everything by turns
and nothing long--a man in whose behalf q
singularly disreputable gang of politicians
has been actively working for months past-this,
We submit is result which places the Cincin-
natl Convention in a thoroughly contemplate
position before the world. 1t has not even the
merit Of probable success.
REJECTION OF MR. GREELEY BY THE DEMOCRATS.
[From the N. Y. World
"Wew not affect to dissemble our disappont.
ment at the failure OF the Cincinnati Convention
to nominate Mr.. Adams. We thought, as every
body seemed to think, that Mr.. Greeley would
merely receive complimentary vote from a
few States on the first one or two ballots, and
then sink out OF the contest The actual
result causes intense astonishment and diAap-
pointment, which.Nwe presume, most Democrats
will share. We supposed and had what we
| thought good reasons for suppOsing that the
| Cincinnati Convention would nominate its lead
| ing candidate with view to conciliate Demo-
cratic support. But the Convention has in fact
nominated the most conspicuous and heated OPP
ponent Of the Democratic party that could be
found in the whole country. A convention set
on foot by revenue reformers' has nominated
/ a noted and Jealous protechonist.
"If Mr.. Adams had been nominated we should
not have hesitated to advocate his Endorsement
| by the Democratic Convention. But with so un-
expected and surprising a candidate as Mr..
Greeley. we have no advice to Offer The Dem
ocratic National Committee will meet in this city
next week, and issue the regular call for the
usual Convention. The sense Of the Democratic
/ party will be authoritatiyely expressed by that
body, and all members Of the party will be bound
| by its action
| Under existing circumstances, we do not as
| pire to guide Democratic sentiment but prefer
| to watch and follow t.*
Our present impression is, that the Democrats
National Convention will ignore Cincinnati en-
tirely and nominate new ticket-a course in
which it may count upon the hearty support OF
