"GOING For OLD 1ILDLN."

Far be il from us to question the wisdom OF
the policy which seems to have been generally
adopted by the Administration press of this
State in its treatment of Gov Tilden. We are
aware that " war is war;" and we are not
about to deny that in the same sense politics
is politics. Gov. T'ilden being a Democrat,
and a somewhat successful and conspicuous
one; Democrat who has done more than any
score or hundred of his party toward rescu-
ing the organization from the hands of
thieves and lifting it into purcr and bet
ter atmosphere /; and Democrat too
who may possibly lead his party in a
Presidential contest, there is of course perfect
propriety in assailing him as an odd fraud"
"hypocrite," a "tlieyes' Attorney and u
"humbug," and it may not be amiss as the
campaign proceeds and the interest grows. to
Stir popular enthusiasm and warm the old
gcntlemans ears by casual references to his
career as an assassin and his success as Il con-
spi1ator, while @ mild religious glow may be
impaired to the canvass by occasional illusions
to the Overriding Providence which has visited
the penalty of paralysis upon the iniquitics of
this hoayy-headed sinner. This to person not
acquainted with the large and hearty and
might seem like carrying matters too far. and
the uninfOrmed might get the erroneous impress
SION that the canvass was degcneniing INTO
personalities. Nothing could be farthcr from
the truth. There are no personalities IN cur
politics. except those INDUCED in by yenal
and lcentious press In the publication of def
mite charges, backed by aiiidavits, against
some of the purcst and best statesmen that
ever got rich on small salaries. These are in
excusabe. They have been denounced in the
most indignant terms by many newspapers
which support the Government at regular adj
veytising rates, as well As by several conspcu-
GUS persons, who INDUCED in that line of re-
mark as they were about retiring from public
life.
1t is understood, Of course, that to make
charges against such statesmen, shy, az those who
held Credit MObilicr, or against Senators who
paid for their seats like little men and sup
ported the Administration like brothers or
brothers-in- law, or against such able men as
ex-Attorney- General Williams, or such good
men as Secretary DelanO, or such GOd-fearing
men as tho Rov. L. =. Smith and his contract
ors-tO charge such as they with anything that
called for investigation was Of course Infamous
Nothing could be more reprehensible.g People
were warned against it by the Administration
press in very able and powerful articles,
which portrayed in vivid cOlors the effect
upon the good name Of the country
among foreign nations of such attempts to
undermine and destroy public confidence in our
representative men. Some of these appeals on
behalf of our purest and best were of the most
pathetic character. In many offices the tears
of the compositors who put them in type were
used in washing the "forms," no I've being
necessary except what was already in type.
And yet the venal aud lisentious kept II ~.
1t was very sad. And what was saldcr, they

THE QUESTION FOR DEMOCRATS.

II il al much to the interest of every ineli
gent Democrat as it is to that of Republicans
that the mischicvous Ohio platform and its vo-
ciferous advocate should be defeated this Fall.
We do not so much refer to those consldera-
tons of the general welfare which affect all
men alike although the inhatiOnist campaign
now wag;ng in Ohio assaults these in manner
never before equaled in any civilized country.
The mere question of initiation has been COM
paratively left out of view in the violence of
the canvass, and the etaple of the harangues
which are daily made to the workingmen of
the State by Cary, Allen, and the more OBJ
scure spouters who travel with them, consists
of direct and crazy appeals to the passions OF
men in trouble, and OF savage denunciations
of men who have husbanded their earnings. Mr..
Kelley talks of labor taking capital by the throat;
Allen rOars about the infamous dcspOtism OF the
money power; and Caly-it is not worth while
repeating the gibberish of this foolish and
Ignorant mOuntebank; every speech he utters
is direct Indictment to riot and murder. 1t
must not be supposed that rich men are the
only ones aimed at. This savage spirit attacks
every man who has saved cent Of his earn
ings and invested it in any form of securities.
All this raving against bondhOlders, money
sharks, and the creditor class means simply
this: A and are two wOrkmen, OF equal
skill and wages. A denies himself, works out
of hours, and saves all he can, and at the end
of the year has two or three hundred dollars
with which he buys United States bond.
enioys himself as he goes along and ut the end
of tho year has nothing. Kelley and Allen
make roaring speeches against bondholders,
from which b concludes that A (and both
these letters represent large classes) Is rob-
her and blood-sucker, and ought to have
his bondholdng throat cut. This is the hate
full residuum left after an hour OF furious
defamation, in which the financial fallacies
make no impression one way or the other,
while the tangible fact that some people are
better off than others is hammered into the
heads of unedncated men and made to appear
like intolerable injustice and oppression
But this is q consideration which appeals
only to tho general sense of right and the pub
lie welfare 1t is perhaps lower class OF mo-
tives which ought to induce intelligent Demo-
Gratis especially to desire the defeat OF Mr..
Allen, but they are none the less strong and evil
dent. If Allen is elected in October 1t is
victory for initiation and reputation. 1t
gives tho supremacy in the Democratic
party unquestionably to those dishonest
and reckless clements, which forced the
present platform upon the Columbus Conven-
ton, and which find congenial expression in
the communistic harangues of Cary and his
associates. 1t is idle for Mr.. Thurman and

ANTED-AN HONEST Law YER.

Tn this campaign, if never before, the people
of the state of New-YOrk have reason to re-
member that wise saying about the price OF
liberty. There must he nnceasing vigilance
from now til November to make the defeat OF
the thieves complete and final Tie delegates
to the conventions must first be looked
after sharply, even where, as was well
said by u paper in the interior, there
are not three men in the county eligible to be
delegates who do not support the Reform
movement. Then the composition OF the State
ticket becomes the task of most immediate
importance: and now. then, and all the time.
the keenest watch should he kept on the men
who are laying rails toward Albany. They are
the men who have it in their power to make
or mar reform that promises to he national
in both its moral and its material results If not
in its extent.
There il one point on the State ticket which
the thieves are very likely, in our OPINION. to
attack, and which both Conventions will do
well to guard. The Offices Of Secretary Of
State, Controller, and State Treasurer,
can he well administered, as they have
been before, by men of honest purposes
and reasonable abilities Even the choice
OF the state Engineer anu SuiNtyoi, eHu
the Canal Commissioner, ceases to he in
especial jeopardy III the aroused state of public
feeling which will not brook the nomination OF
known servant of the Ring and keeps every
delinQncnt official in constant terror Of expo
sure. But the Office of Acknowledgement must
he carefully filed, aud filed with an honest,
robust lawyer, who not only will push forward
the prosecution of offenders with zeal, but is
made Of such fiber that he can withstand all
the influences, personal and political, and of a
grosscr kind, which these men will be only too
glad to exert upon him. The chief anxiety OF
the Canal thieves, after November, will be,
we suspect, not so much where they shall
bestow their political influence as where
they shall 90 to keep out of Jail, and where
they shall hide their stolen money. They
understand, as all rOgues do, the value OF the
right lawyer in the right place, and they may
be depended on 10 take a powerful sight
d" of interest" in the Acknowledgement, both
before and after his election. They may
adopt holder plans than they did last Spring,
when they wasted great deal of time, trying
to slip retainers into the hands of lawyers in
directly connected in a business way with the
AttOrney-Generars Office. Mr.. Pratt's successor
must be able to cope with these fellows. He
must be honest and resolute, and Il campaigner.
Give US man of brains; but, gentlemen, DO
sure about his backbone.

compelled investigations and proved thcir
charges. This, rs we have remarked, was ex-
tremely reprehensble, because it impaired puDnc
confidence in statesmen who supported the Ad-
ministration. But the treatment OF Illdcn-
cold Tilden," as one or two newspapers with
a severity excused by the pressing nature OF
the emergency characterize him-is an ehtireiy
different thing. For Tilden does not support
the Administration. 1t Is consequently quite
in order for the gentlemen who have for the
past three or four years served their county
so faithfully by rebuking the wantonness ana
brutality of that portion Of the press when
demanded Investigations of official misconduct
to turn their attention for moment 10
"Old Tilden," and without mincing matters
inform the general public that he is fraud,
a hypocrite, humbug. a conspirator AMI
thief. 1t is barely possible that some ignorant
person NAV question the consistency of such
conduct, but no one who is inside politics and
knows how utterly sincere all these people are
will have moments doubt about it.
And yet it is solemn thought that great
many voters this year will have the impu-
dence aud assurance to act on their own Judg-
ment instead of giving such heed as they
ought to the calm and statesmanikc utter
anccs of the organs which pronounce Old
"Tilden" "fraud.' There are great
many voters who can only see that he has
made a magnificent fight for reform against
the most powerful Ring that was ever IN
trenched around treasury; that he is in the
midst of it now, and needs the support and CO.
operaton of honest men of all parties, and
that to strike him down now by refusing him
sympathy and support would be to give the
movement for administrative reform its
da,lllcst blOw-a great many voters, we
saw can see no farther than this, and viii be
very likely to support his measures and assist
in carrying out his policy. 1t is of course
very painful to think that these voters are
going to judge Gov. Tlden by what he is
doing now and has done through the year,
and not by what the judicous and able news
papers say about him; and yet we Ito not see
how it can be prevented. All that We can see
for dsinierestcd observers TO do is to deplore
the prevailing lack of confidence in the con
scentions and able organs of the Administra-
ton; while all that the organs can do Is to
continue to "giyc it to Old Tildtn." -Even IL
it doesn't hurt Tilden, it will do them "a
"pOwer of good"

.Ir. George Augustus Sala, III an article on Andre
printed in The BeIgrQria magazine, speaks OF Gen.
Washington as the GeneralissmO of the C0nstitu
tonal Forces If Englishmen will write of Amcri-
can events, why will they not take little pains to
write correctly! "Continenta forces we suppose
that Mr. Saa meant But what does he mean by
also speaking of Andre a. taken :" in fragrant dere-
net of contravention against tho laws.of Washing
toni laws CT war; We suppose. Then why not
say sol Laws Of Washington" can mean only the
viii of Washington, and that we know was quite the
other way. Mr.. Saa defends the course taken by
the American Commander, but rs he acted precisely
"a any General Of any nation would have acted
under such circumstances defense at this late day is
hardly necessary. The opinion of Andres hanging
expressed by most English writers Is literally alb
snrd. There never was simpler case there il no
room for argument; if Sir Henry Clinton had
caught within the British lines American officer
with the negotiations for the reasonable surrender
Of a British position IN his boots would Sir Henry
have doubted Or delayed as Washington really did
Ii il a sufficient to all this English criticism
that Wasin gtOn, the most console hOus and benevO
lent of men, never regretted the course which he fol-
lowed. or questioned its strict military propricty.
1t was % sad bat very simple transaction.
1t is no uncommon thing to find the cloyen hoof
hidden in law suit but there has been one in
England in which 1t plainly appeared. II all came
of the increduiity Of Jenkins, who not only didn't
believe in the Devil, but had an edition Of the
Pble printed for his familys with all passages
relating to the Old Boy eXpurgated-a pretty ex-
pensive riding of hobby, unless Jenkins can sell
copies of his Bible to book-manacs ut fancy prices.
The gentlemans rector, being Of n contrary mind,
preached a warm sermon Affirming Satans existence,
activity, and power. of which discourse Mr.. Jenkins
spoke disrespectfully, and for doing was excom-
muncated. jenkins sought redress but the spiritual
court affirmed the personality Of the Devil unless
we impute error and deceit to the writers of the
New Testament The case has gone up Oh q ppeal,

The Turkish Government has doubtless
strong reason to be dissatisfied with Servia,
where the party most hostile to it is now in
power. But it is so embarrassed by the
troubles in Bosnia and the meddling of the
Imperial Powers that it is very unlikely that
it will infringe the independence OF the
Servian ruler by sending an army there.
