pare charter for the city of New York. 1t
names Charles 0Conor. John w. Edwards, Ed
ward Salmon, George Opdyke and Joseph b.
Narnum, as such commissioners, who are to re-
port TO the next legislature. The bill providing
for sinking the railroad track in Fourth avenue,

EXPLANATIONS FROM THE WORLD.
The World tomorrow, in reply to articles of
the Albany Argus and Washington Patriot, pro-
tests against what it calls intrusive mpertinence
of the clique Of democratic congressman, in their
attempt to control the Cincinnati convention in
the interest of Judge Davis, and their denuncia-
ton of the World for expressing its honest judg-
ment in entire independence of this intriguing
cabal. 1t has been, says the World, our settled
wish that the Cincinnati convention should not
act nor appear to act under any sort of demo
cratic duress; and we have, in expressing pre-
ference for Adams, at least demonstrated that
there is no united attempt of democratic dicta-
ton; and have saved the liberal republicans
from the imputation of acting as a mere side
show to the democratic party. An attempt to
revive the system of nominating presidential
candidates by congressional caucus, which broke
down in 1924 from its own Totlenness, is prepoS-
ferrous anachronism. The proclaimed purpose
of the Cincinnati convention is re-
form OF government aud if the con-
yention acts wisely, it will aim TO
present a'canddate for president, who, with
maximum of republican popularity and mini
mum of democratic hostility, possesses the
highest qualifications for the office. Who, Of
all the named candidates, it concludes, COM
bines these requisites in so eminent degree as
MIR. Adams?
