The New York Daily Graphic, the subcial

state OF New York ''knows that the real
1 ,.ers Of the Democratic party wish the
defeat of the Allen ticket" that the Demo-
Gratis of Ohio "may as we'll understand first
as last that their defeat would delight the
Democrats of the East TIE New York
World, of Thursday, said of Governor
Allen: The Democrats of New York
repudiate this hoary repudistor." The
Brooklyn Eagle says: ''The Demo.
Gratis OF Ohio, who desire their party
alike to do well and to deserve well, ought
not to vote for William Allen" and the
Brooklyn Eagle is also t.nown as ono of tue
organs of Sam Tilden. The Herald CHARGES
that Governor Tilden and his supporters
are prepared to disrupt the Democratic
oarty unless it can be harmonized on the
4tew York platform" This is unquestion-
ably the situation and now to Mr.. Tilden
'and his supporters" we have little speech
to make: Sam Tilden, you are the serviIe,
sneaking selfish tool of the bondholders of
the East; you value your personal prefer
ment more highly than you do the posses
sion of the national government by the
Democratic party. You are aware that if
William Allen is reelected to the governor.
ship OF Ohio you can never be nominated
for the Pr 7idencv, and for this reason you
have chOaGn the of tbn
national Democratic party. If you can not
rule you are determined to ruin. Your i'm
mediate friends have published this fact
to the world with your sanction, We do
not mist Ike the temper of the Democrats
of the West and South when we whisper
IN -our ear that if your name is
lifte,. up in the next national Democratic
convention no Western or Southern delegate
will dare give you his vote and return to
his constituents, whatever be the fate of the
Democracy OF Ohio this year. He would be
houted from his home. The selfish sin by
which the angels fell you have committed,
and it is the unDardonable one. Whatever
becomes of William Allen, your political
doom is sealed. We desire to say to YOUR
supporters" that we thank them for dis
closing the enmity to the West, the South,
and the Democratic party which they have
80 long partially concealed. We would have
been glad to receive their aid, but now we
ask 1t not. Their imperiOus insOlence will
be more serviceable to us than their pre.
tended friendship would have been. Those
Democratic leaders" will please bear in
mind that the Empire State" has become
impotent in the Democratic party, however
completely it may rule in the Republican
party. She will be pOwerless in the politics of
the future. The "empire" has crossed the
mountains, it repOses in the valleys of the
West, and its star glitters for the people,
not for the bondholder or usurer. Those
"leaders" OF the Democracy of the bondhold-
ing Shareholders whose followers are grow
ing fewer even at home-equally with the
Republicans of the East are our enemies.
Equally with the Republicans of the East
they will receive their reward from the
Democratic party. The masses of the Dem
ocrats of New York do not follow those
'leaders' either in their financial policy or
in their threat to disrupt the Democratic
party if they can not nominate YOU for the
presidency. Those Democratic leaders"
on your behalf and on behalf of the usur.
ers to whom the people of the West and
South owe their debts, have declared war
upon the Democracy of Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Indiana; upon the Democrats of MANY
other States more timid than they are, and
upon the welfare of the entire West and
South. They have inaugurated sectional
contest in your interest," On behalf of a
considerable Democratic constituency we
accent the issue and will fight the battle
which we did not provoke or invite.
