THE REFORH PARTY Nv NEW YORK
The republican party in New York is

party that elected Governor Tilden.
While the Democratic party has split up
ON the Governors plans to reform the ca
nal management. the republican party
has sustained him Notwithstanding his OBJ
jectionable politics and suspicion that he
has personal objects quite as much as the
public good in view. Mr. 1ilden is can
didate for the democratic nomination for
President. and some of his movements
which are osten sibly for reform look very
much rs though they were intended for
another market. The course of the
republicans, however, has been consistent
ly for reform. and if Governor Tilden sue
ceeds in accomplishing anything against

elected. THE only effective support he
has had" says the Albany Journal, from
"any organized body at all has been from
the republican party. His own party
has been divided and split up into fac.
