TOO LATE TO REMEDY THE MISCHIEF DONE
From The Troy Wing )Rep) -,
We do not see the prOprlety OF such action
on the part OF Governor speaKng out against the
ela SeeS sp one sf the Uca State Now the
President alone speak effectively If he feels called
made at this late day will hardly remedy any mischief
that may have been done. The Republican masses have
there E n necessity for putting forth effort to stop
march Of phantom. Nevertheless they have Thought
and incorruptble meu for office The pressing need Of
such men is apparent 70 all Let the voter 60 abroad
this Fall in his might.
The Bggato Express (Rep.)
There is no need of discussing this subject
at length. Gov. DIX would simply make a Laughing
stock OF himself by falling INTO this electioneerng trap
and 1t would be saId as The World already says
that lit matters not what Gov. DIX thinks IL would
be a pusanimous, weak silly thing to yield to this
electioneerDg humbuQgery, and Gov. DIX 10 the last
man IN the world TO do 1t.
GEN. DIX SHOULD HAVE SPOKEN LONG AGO,
From The Brooklyn Argus Ind)
POmerOy, Morgan, and COnkllng thought
they were not only but smart at Utica and so
hey formulated their third term folly as boldly and de-
family as IL they carried NewYOrk state In their pOck
cts DIX was asked discOBnect himself from this mad
scheme but he deemed IL unworthy OF notice Now we
are told that Gen. Dix is to have serepade and that
after the resonant brass and soft recorders, he Will
speak out strongly against this miserable policy He
has already had serenades TO which De might
have made this response. To do so now Is
to confess that the ground swell OF ONO
and Indiana has extended TO New.fOrk, and that
the Republican foundations shaken. DIX 10 1872 was
stronger than Grant this State. To-day he Is stronger
than his party and President Had he possessed the
boldness to speak sentiments freely he would not
have lost the vote Of tldewaiter, and he would
have added thousands to his confessed strength DIX
has had honorable and popular administration. lie
Ia respec ted and admired. His friends may claim all
the personal qualifications for him that Mr.. Illden's
friends do tor him. But he is too late II looks as II
mi ght have been" the sad words OF tongue and
pen TO DE inscribed Republican aspirations this
Fall, and all because OF unmanly addation for per.
sopal" Government, which had at least the merit 0f
sIanding Dy its friends.
