Who Are These Menu

We look down the list of candidates pre-
sented to us by poor Kelly for the most i'm
portant positions in the gift Of the people
and naturally ask who are these gentlemen
who claim the suffrage Of the people? judge
Freedman is well known magistrate, whose
record justifes the wisdom Of the people.
Judge Loew, whatever his merits, was never
celebrated for his judicial qualities His
reputation depends more upon the success
of his brother Charles as O politician than
upon his administration of justice As for the
rest nobody ever has heard Of them. Judge
Spencer returns to the Bench with fair
reputation but there are probably two
thousand other lawyers in New York
who have as much claim to this position
and who would administer its duties as ac-
ceptably as Judge Spencer. If we 90 to the
other parts Of the ticket we see no name that
at all represents the political or social infiu-
ence or the greatness of New York. In other
words, poor Kelly has nominated ticket of
pigmies. Beginning his political career in
New York as leader of Tammany on the
principle of bosom friendship he has forced
his creatures into places and means to have
no one in office who would not willingly, as
part of his official duties, take care of his boots
and his linen and his clothing. Consequently
the ticket falls dead upon the people. The
Germans do not care anything at all about it,
because they really have no representation
among the candidates, save professional
German or two whose nationality is only
used for political advancement. The Irish
cannot welcome it, because no leading men,
Der Of that race has any recognition what
ever. 1t is simply the expression Of poor
Kelly's personal will, and the people of
New York. who, however Indifferent they
may be to politics, are not towards or slaves.

The Gambling Spirit.

A study Of some Of the money columns
Of the New York papers is an unwholesome
occupation. We cannot better understand
the condition into which our business has
fallen than BY glance down the long list
Of ''stock sales" which are published every
day. Here are thousands Of ''shares" sold
from month to month, representing interests
which have no sound Nalue. We glance
through these columns and are surprised to
find how few Of the shares sold are Of true
value or in any way represent the business
interest of the community. On the contrary
we have large sales at ''seller 3" and ''buyer
co. and ION CALI in the main not bust
ness transactions, but gambling speculation.
Reading the accounts we find that :" a
few of the large buyers are closing up their
interests" We are told that the reason one
stock has fallen is ''that there is an unsettled
feeling in financial circles" Again, there is
"a most plausible rumor' that a road has not
earned its dividends We are told that
''noted bear is credited with buying"
Another writer informs US ''that the absence
Of many Of the operators at the races favored
the success Of the bears" We notice still fur
ther that eminent bankers twhose names
were maliciously used by the rumor com
mittee Of Wall street. despairing Of redress
through the tardy action Of the Stock
Exchange, have employed private de-
tectiyes" and that the "matter is to
be submitted to the Grand Jury" 1t
is difficult to exaggerate the condition
into which our Wall street affairs have fallen.
Wall street is no longer governed by honest
business men, but by gamblers. Good, true
values are no longer bought and sold On
the contrary, we have 'puts" and 'calls. +"
The literature Of Wall street is the literature
Of gamblers. A put is as much a gam
bling experiment as a game Of faro or rou-
lette. Until there is a burning out Of these
interests, and a thorough cleaning Of Wall
street; until men like Jay Gould, who have
neither conscience nor humanity and
who are vampires upon the business in
terests Of New York-until men Of this kind.
with their pretensions, their frauds, their
schemes, their infamous trifing with the
public credit, are driven out Of trade, we

The Peoples Candidntes.

The Republican County Convention has
deserved well Of the people of New York by
its Independent and patriotic action yester-
day. Meeting the popular sentiment in an
earnest and sincere manner it has
pledged the party it represents to
disregard of all political prefer
ences and considerations in a purely
judicial election and to the support Of can
didates who can command the confidence
and respect of the citizens without regard to
party divisions. 1t thus stands in direct
opposition to the Tammany Convention,
which, controlled by one man, avowed
its determination to place active parti-
sans in nomination for the judicial
offices and throw overheard judges who
had proved their fidelity and capacity
through long years of service AS fitting
initiation Of the movement thus happily in
augurated the Convention nominated by ac-
clamation Benjamin X Phelps, the present
District Attorney, and John X Hackett the
present Recorder, for reelection. A resolution
had previously been adopted declaring the
desire Of the Convention and of the party
to unite all good citizens in the support Of
pure, independent and able judiciary, and
the nomination of Recorder Hackett by so
unblemished and honorable public officer
as Collector Arthur was graceful compli-
ment to the services and character of that
upright and fearless Judge
The ticket headed by these nominees will
be assuredly elected by the people. The
aviI doc - H. l.
warm political adherents of Tammany Hall,
and especially of his own regime, in all the
courts and in the office Of the District Attor-
ney. The best word that could be said
by the democratic organ in favor of the
Tammany candidate for Recorder this
morning was that he was lifelong democrat
and the chairman of the Tammany General
Committee of his district. This attempt to
embrace all the civil and criminal courts and
the criminal prosecuting Offices within the
influence of political organization having
within it all the vicious elements of the city
is calculated to excite suspicion and alarm.
1t is full Of evil portents, even though the
motives that prompt it may not be
Intentionally bad. In endeavoring tc
drive Recorder Hackett from the
Bench, and in naming confessedly
weak man, easily controlled by his party
friends, for District Attorney, Mr.. Kelly
has invited criticism of his work
which may be even more severe than he
deserves. The result of the election OF
his ticket would be to deprive the city
Of the services Of tried fearless and
capable officers, and to place the two most
important positions in the criminal juris-
prudence of the city in the hands OF
inexperienced men but warm partisans.
1t is the interest of every good citizen
to oppose and defeat such a result, and the
action Of yesterdays Convention renders it
almost certain that the peoples candidates
will be triumphantly elected.

An EXCISE COMMISSIONER makes a very
funny witness. Commissioner Marshall tes-
titled yesterday before the Assembly Com
mittee on Crime in favor of Bourbon and rye
whiskey as the best liquor ever drank, and
upon this liberal basis he attempted to ex-
plain the system of the Board in receiving
money from applicants to sell liquor to allow
them to sell for time without license.
Commissioner Stiner followed with the decla-
ration of his conviction that everybody who
wanted license ought to have it. When it
is remembered that the Board of Excise is
very proud of its investigations into the
character of the liquor dealers the humor Of
this testimony becomes all the more ap-
parent.

A Phantom Dog.
[ Baltimore Americana

Some days ago Mr.. George Regle, proprie-
tor of hotel situated on the turnpike about
seven miles north of Westminster, Md, near
Mount Pleasant, discovered dog in one of
his rooms on the second floor Mr. Reigle
| attempted to drive him down stairs, but the
brute showed fight. Mr. Reggie descended
the stairs and armed himself with an axe, and
assembled with the intention of expelling his
unwelcOme guest, either dead or alive, but
his attempt to dispatch him proved as fruit
less as his attempt to drive him down; for
though he struck him on the head several
times, sinking the very poll Of the axe into
his skull nearly to his eye, he seemed to be
not seriously hurt
Mr.. Reigle then procured revolver, and
taking position but few PAGES from the
dog. discharged the contents of five barrels
at him, without the least perceivable effect
Bankert, near neighbor, was then called to
the scene. He brought with him a double
barrelled shotgun, which has the reputation
of being unsurpassed. The gun was given
to Mr.. George Mihm, who took a position
not more than fifteen feet from the many
lived animal, and discharged the contents Of
both barrels into the body Of the dog. On
receiving the contents of the last barrel the
brute gave faint howl, and his limbs cuiy
cred as if in the agonies of death.
The gentlemen then retired to the bar
room TO wait until life had become extinct
when they expected to return and bear away
the carcass but, 10, when they came, no dog
or hair ola dog remained Search was made
Immediately in the house and on the premises,
but nothing of the animal, either dead or
alive, could be found. What still tends to
deepen the mystery is, even if the wounded
brute did escape from the house, why were no
traces of blood (for he bled profusely int he
room, where plenty of blood was found visi-
BILE upon the snow which then covered the
ground? No such indications could be seen.
and the neighbors believe the whole affair
