silk engraving is in the possession OF Dir.
o. S. Baldwin of Brooklyn.
The picture has every appearance Of
steel engraving in line and stipple, is
peculiarly soft and rich in shading, and
an admirable study of Stuart's portrait.
OF the thousands who have seen one of
the five first copies in the Governors
room, not one in ten thousand has had
the slightest idea that it is one Of the
marvels Of nineteenth century inven-
tions. No one detects the fabric except
By closest scrutiny, but it is silk and well
nigh Imperishable.
THE NKXT DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR
THE PRESIDENCY.
Gov Sam Gilden, few months ago,
was confident Of being the next Demo
cratic candidate .or Inc Presidency. He
had it all fixed. His programme was TO
help 70 beat Allen in Ohio, which would
settle him: 10 help elect Pershing in
Pennsylvania. y Eich he could afford TO
do, Pershiug having no Presidential as
piratious, and then 70 make bis name
the rallying cry Of tire Democracy of
New York, which was TO carry the State
By 60. 600. A pretty programme, was it
was barely beaten in Ohio. Pershing was
numerically beaten IN Pennsylvania,
and the cry of "Tilden and Reform" was
beaten 20. coo in the city of New York,
and escaped defeat in the State by only
1900, Where does that leave the cal
culating Tildenl Allen is as strong as
ever he was, and if there is a man on
earth who has earned the undying ha
r II - - =,
Tilden. Pennsylvania Democracy owes
him nothing, for with his help they were
beaten out of their boots, and no man
from New York need enter the ring who
has Tammany stuck to him, and who
came so near sinking his party in the
State. Exit Tilden. IL he ever had a
chance it is gone. Small men should
never undertake large combinations.
The Democracy must look elsewhere for
a candidate.
And when it comes to point the peo-
pie Of New York are not as fond of the
Democracy as they We're on general
principles. Now that
TAXES ARE HIGHER THAN EVER
they remember, that the city has been
under Democratic rule for years, and
for whatever is bad in the government,
which is to say, the entire government,
that party is responsible. When bust
ness was booming, and when the prop
erty-owner had merely to put figures on
his property, they did not care for taxes.
But now it is quite different. Rents are
down a half, an5 thousands of buildings
are standing empty, while taxes are
mounting up frightfUl;y. The taxes
have to be paid whether business yields
profit or not, or whether the buildings
rent or not. And now that they are
worried to raise money to pay their
taxes, they begin TO find that it pays to
pay some attention to politics, and the
more men think the less Democracy suits
them. 1t was this feeling that over
threw Tammany this fall-it is this feel
ing that will give the State to the Re-
publicans next year, sure. The rings
that have plundered this city and Brook
lyn own the Democratic party, and the
tax payers find that they can only kill
the rings by killing the party. Democ-
racy in New York is not a corpse yet,
but the death rattle is in its throat. Let
us make iudiciOus nomination, and
there will be no trouble about carrying
Nav York
