After reading ex-Gov. Seymour's letter
second time the Democratic journals are coming 10 the
conclusion that 1t lie not final In Its deonaton as 10
prevent him from accepting the position should the
Legislature elect him. Leading journals OF the party
The BGuio Courier. The Troy Press, and The Elnird
Gazette st urge Mr.. Seymour for the office, claiming
that he will honor the party more than other man AN;
yet no paper Of prominence in the party gives him
hearty support
1t is greatly to the credit of the Democratic
of this State that with exception they
vigorously denounce the proposition to make Fernando
Wood Speaker Of the Houss o Representatives in the
XLIvth Congress. "Unwaverng hostility 70 the salary
grabber" is the OF all Of them. The Bualo Courier
says that Of all the candidates named for the Speaker
ship the Hon. s. 8. Cox "is in experience. tact, ability
and reputation the foremost" and adds: "The only
drawback to placing Mr. Cox In the Speakers chair is
tsst his extensive general M % e ns ake Sm

OF the House."
The Morristopn Republican discusses the
chances OF the various candidates for the NewJersey
Benatorship among whom are two Of its townsmen-
exGov. Randolph and Mr.. Jacob Van Natta. 1t holds
that II the Legislature had been Democratic on joint
ballot by only a small majority, Gov. Randolph would
have been easily recognized the victor and awarded
the honors OF the Senatorshp 1t still thinks he has the
best chance. II regards Mr.. Van Natta's prospects
discouragng for the that he failed to elect
either his candidate for Senator or for the Assembly
In his own county. or Attorney-General Gilcbrst 1t
makes account. but thinks that he is likely to be
satisfied with his restoration TO his old place on the
Riparian COmms and he election Of his law partner
Mr. McG as candidate for Speaker. With his own re-
appointment as Attorney-General And 1t counts Mr.
Stockton out on account Of his back pay.
The Bourbon Democrat of Missouri has long
mad reputation for beyond his fellows
In other States. Realizing fully this fact The st. Louis
Republican begins lecture for the benefit Of the class
In this pacifyng way: 1--WE recognize at the ouse the
futiity OF addressing sense to the wheehorse. You
might well read the Bible aloud TO mule" After
this singulary apt comparison. 1t continues: "He
imagnes the late election returns intended solely
vndicatioDs OF himsef and he purpose the
revolution higher than that OF giving him opportu
nifty to live off Of the public. For years and years he
has been denouncing the progacy of Radioalism and
tnveighing against the multitude Of oceholders but
nothing enters his mind except the hope that he
may soon be the beneficiary Of policy OF similar profit
gacy on the part of his party, and he would not
have single Of the multitude OF offices abolished.
In short. he will be found since the election arguing
with vonbity that what sauce for the goose Is
for the gander He must be apprsed Of the fact
gently. II possible, roughly II necessary-that the
people who have revoted savagely against the idea
represents will be less tolerant OF him and his
pretensions than they OF his Republican prototype
whom have Just struck down and stamped upOn |
IT would be of great prudence on the part OF
the Democracy to tie with fourlnch hawser every
wheelhorse that is now running at large"
