THE LATEST RALLY.

The great mass meeting at Tammany Hall
last Saturday night was just such an eloquent
demonstration as can be made only when the
people are deeply moved. 1t was an unmis-
taxable evidence of the popular demand for
reform. Nothing but this could have brought
together and fused into one glowing,
intensely interested mass such elements as
were united in that great gathering. There
was the Old-time Democrat pointing with adj
miraton to the services of Greeley, Schurz,
and Sumner in the cause OF reform
and there was the Republican of
twenty campaigns cheering the utterances OF
Herman, Brooks, and Lawrence. These men
are all profoundly impressed with the necessity
of change in the administration of public
affairs they know that under the present sys-
tenn we are not only plundered but are drift
ing into Capitalization, civil disorder, and OIL
Cial corruption most rank and remedlleSs. Inc
people demand reform they will have it, and

night and the previous one in Union square
show how thoroughly in earnest they are in
that demand. This kind of enthusiasm is not
mere hurrah in the language Of the time, it
means business
No wonder the organs of the Administration
are puzzled to account for such a phenomenon
as ancient political enemies uniting under one
banner Too narrow to conceive of any
reason but base and sordid one, and too
dishonest to give any opponent credit for
fairness, these snarlers and cavilers can see
nothing but union for spoils" and coalition
for selfish ends But for all that the union is
perfect in good intention and good works. The
Saturday night meeting was not merely " a
"rally,n in the campaign sense of that
word, it was an occasion for reporting
the tidings of Liberal progress in various parts
of the State. The rapid review of the gen.
eral situation was inspiring; and we have the
word of so intelligent politician as the Hon.
Francis Herman that the patriotic and ener-
getic Democrats and Republicans of the in
terror will do their whole duty by the candi-
dates of the Liberal party. The occasion was
one which will not be soon forgotten; it was
an earnest of the zeal and hole-heartedness
with which our friends are entering on these
last days of work. Now, we need no more
professions, fireworks, and music; the time
for the final labors of the campaign has come
Friends close up the ranks and the victory is
ours

corruptionists, for the attainment Of common
political objects, and partly by the fact that
many of its members have been eager ONCE
seekers. that the Committee of Seventy, taken
rs n whole. are no better than the common
run of respectable men.
At the meeting of the Committee, held last
Friday evening, this impression was clearly
shown TO be well-founded. Leading members
of the Committee distinctly admitted that In
order TO obtain the nomination by the Grant
Republicans of Mr.. Havemeyer, the Chairman
of the Committee of Seventy, for the once Oh
Mayor, they had pledged themselves that the
Committee would indorse the Custom-house
candidates for Distrct-Attorney ana Judges
There surely was never q more shameiesS
political bargain than the one thus so openly
ayowed. 1t presents deeper shade OF turpl-
tude in view of the high professions OF purity
made by the members of this Committee, upon
which. unfortunately. their felow-citizens have
heretofore confidently relied.
The contest in the Committee was upon the
selection of candidate for District-Attorney.
1t is well known that Mr.. Donohue, the Tam
many candidate for that office, and Mr.. Whit
nev. the Apollo Hall candidate, are of as good
repute in the law, ana OF DeIVer lol u0'V'io"
to the cause of good government than Mr.
Phelps, the law partner of Collector Arthur
who is the Custom house candidate No far
minded man of any party Will deny that, upon
every principle by which the Committee OF
Seventy profess to be governed either Mr.
Donohue or Mr.. Whitney should have been
selected in preference to Mr.. Phelps Yet
under the pressure of ayOwals that the bar
gain had been made, and declarations that
good faith required that it be kept, Mr..
Phelps was Endorsed by a vote of 25 to II.
The people of this city will learn with
great regret that a Committee from whom
so much has been expected has degenerated
into a mere political machine, actuated by no
higher motives, and governed by no purer
rules, than those of ordinary partisans. In
these times of political degeneracy and official
corruption, the people should be deceived by
no false guides, and misled by no loud pro-
LESSONS of freedom from partisan bias, which
prove but cloak for the keenest of partisan
manipulation.

HONEST SIMON CAMERON.

Gen. Hartranft and Simon Cameron spoke
from the same platform at Wlamsport PENN the other
day. By some misunderstanding, probably exconVic'
Yerkes was not present; but Messrs. Hartraidt ana
Cameron did their best 70 entertain the audience l"
the course OF his remarks the Senator said:
II the election of Hartranft triumph, that OF
Grant would be a greater one. TIE November eiectioh
would determine whether the country was TO continue
its march OF progress Not this country, but tho
whole world Is Interested this issue. Our principles
were TO extend the entire globe. All eyes were
turned auxonsly upon the Uned states. If Gen. Grant
should be defeated all progress would stop, anu tue
friends Of advancement would be discouraged.
"Great God" as the Hon. Henry Wilson would say
are Hartranfts and Camerous principles to extend over
the entire globei II So we may well prepare fOI

DOUBTFUL COUNSEL.

The Committee of Seventy started nearly a
year and half ago, with an expectation on
the part of the public, warranted by their own
professions, that they would perform such du-
ties as they should undertake with a single
regard to the public interests, and especially
that their action should be above the schemes
and bargainings of mere politicians. Trusting
in their professions, the people of this city
extended to them generous confidence, and,
at the election one year since, supported the
candidates they selected with great enthusiasm.
The result was one of the most complete tri-
umphs ever achieved in this city. But gradu-
ally an impression has got lodgment in the
public mind, caused partly by the association

this State there does not appear to be any
very great prevalence of the disease, except In
Boston, where local trade is seriously de-
pressed In that city, by-the-by, the prevailing
disorder is said to have assumed religious

accustomed to use the horse cars for trans

Selectmen of that town of her right to
vote that she was actually registered. 1t
seems that the law provides that these local

of an applicant to registry. Mrs. Huntington

There is ono important provision Of the new
Election law for this city which has not yet
been prominently brought to the knowledge
of voters, especially those of the labOring
classes The polls will close this year nearly
an hour earlier than usual, to wit, at four
o'clock in the afternoon instead of sunset.
This is a great innovation, and unless special
pains be taken by leaders and organizations to
make the change known, thousands OF honest
citizens will lose their votes. The new law is
Chapter 675 of the Session Laws Of 1872, and
the provision referred to is contained in
Section s. Let our friends attend to this bust
mesa at once.

There is rather too much of politics in the
news from Spain. The movement for the abb
clifton of capital punishment for political
offenses is excellent in principle, but it is
scarcely possible to carry it through against
the opposition of the Senate; while the effort
10 impeach Sagasta and his Ministry seems
puerile waste of time. 1t would be bard to
find a worse politician than Sagasta, but this
plan for squandering a whole session in pros
ecuting him, when there is so much better
work to do, seems more in his own style than
in THAI of the better men who have succeeded
him.

Whatever may be the issue of the Lagrave
