Political Partnership.

In his speech before the Republican
Convention on Saturday, Colonel 7. B.
Swan explained the alliance between
the Republicans and the friends Of Gov.
ernor JacoE .s a temporary affair, "a
limited partnership to secure certain
purpose" the defeat Of the new Consti-
tuition. This accomplished, he declared,
"the Republicans would be strong
enough to elect their own ticket in
October"
This has the merit Of clearness. All
Democrats who are in favor OF defeat
ing the new Constitution, 30 that the
Republicans will be strong enough to
elect their own ticket in October, will
vote for Jacob. All Democrats who are
in favor of preserving Democratic as
tendency and keeping the Republicans
in retirement, will vote for Camden and
the regular Democratic ticket. We
guess the folks will understand it now.
Thank you.-Courier.

Application for a New Trial of Foster, Con-

Application for New Trial of Foster, Con-
victed and Sentenced for tho Murder Of
Avery w. Putnam.
Wtlliam Foster, Plainttf IN Error, rs. The People,
Defendants in ErrOr.-Counsel are still laborlng
zealously to save Foster, the car hook murderer,
from the gall0ws. The case came up again yester-
day in the Supreme Court General Term, before
Judges Ingraham. Barnard and CardOzo. 1t will be
remembered that Judge Cardozo before whom he
TO be hanged the 14tn OF July last and that before
the day OF execution arrived Judge Pratt of Brook
Ign, granted stay of proceedings pending appli
cation for new trial to be made to this Court. Tue
case came up yesterday upon this application.
Ex-Judee PORTER, counsel for Foster, asked a
posponement of the hearing in the matter on the
ground that his time had been so occupied in the
Murray Coulter trial that he had not been able to
prepare his argument. Another ground for which
he urged the pOstDonement was that the question
10 the cOnstutionality or the Court Of Oyer and
Terminer was now before the Court oil Appeals, and
very soon, and that It's decision would relieve the
court OF one important question. He urged further
that there was no great occasion for haste in the
execution OF justice. Foster was in prison, &C
expect for years TO come to see the sunlight except
through prison bars. The degree OF his guilt was a
grave question. and without iusncerity he must say
that he thought 1t had been wrongly decided.
ment He did not regard the reasons given as sutii
cient, and furthermore the next term OF the Court
would not be held till April.
After some fur her discussion the Court decided
10 POSTPONE the hearing or the argument TIL the 10th
OF next February, for which term 1t was ordered to
be set down peremptorIy.
