Until New Hampshire had voted, the Demo-
| Gratis had hoped to win by mere exposure OF
corruption in the civil service-nOt by their own
strength, but by Republican weakness. Since
that election, the sensible leaders OF Democracy
begin to realize that something Injuries that party
even more than any exposures injure the Repub-
lcan party, and the explanation which none OF
them make to the public nevertheless starts
unbidden to their thoughts, and in private con-
ferences with each other is sometimes con-
fessed. In New Hampshire, at least, the
voters are quite as much disguised with DEM
ocratic tendencies toward reputation as with
Republican cOrruptOns in administration The
Democrats of New-Hampshirc, like those of
New York and Connecticut, believe in honest
money. The conduct of the representatives OF
their party has filled them with distrust and
alarm and, just as many Republicans votcd
with their party once more because they hoped
that thorough publication would follow the
exposure of Belknap, many Democrats refused
to vote with their party, and many lndepcnd-
ents voted against it, because they feared that
its worst elements were gaining the mastery.
That this fear was not groundless, the vote
on Monday shows, and it will determine the
votes of thousands of honest Democrats ana
independents i'll Eastern and even i'll Western
States, unless the nominations should he such

The idea Of commemorative historical pa
pcant for the coming Fourth of July, proposed
in THE TRIBUNE of last Saturday, has been
cordially received in various quarters; but it
cannot be made reality by any amount of
idle auprobation. Little more than three
months remain in which TO prepare for the
worthiest and most imposing celebration Of
the Nations first secular anniversary; what
ever NAV be undertaken should be commenced
without delay. 1t il perhaps little singular
that such a feature should not have been al
ready suggested but, in addition to being II
strikingly unimaginatiyc people, We have the
bad habit of poStponing every duty until the
last moment when it, Performance is possible.
The outline sketch of Il complete and most
instructive procession of all the prominent men
and races renowned in the discovery and later
history Of America, as communicated to this

representation Of the different groups were to

allied to them by blood and tradition, the pub

H1RD MONEY AND THE DFNOcRATIt
C1NIIDIIES

CINEIDI7ES.
The one thing which above all others the
rrpudiators in Congress desire not to do ~ to
increase GOV. 1idcn's chances for the Demo
cratic nomination. Yet that Ii the very thing
they are uncOnSciouSly doing. Every day they
are strengthening the public dlsrust OF the
Democratic party on account OF Its linah'al
unsoupdnc,s Every vote for initiation, every
vote for the repeal of the Resumption act
every wild speech Oh the money question, adds to
that alarm which was powerful enough last Fall
to arrest the Democratic party, though it was
flushed with many victories, and assured OF
success. II will presently be discovered by
Democratic managers that the conduct OF re-
indicators has made it absolutely Impossible to
elect any Presidential candidate OF that party,
cXcrpt one whose record and associations viii
suffice to Onyince the country that neither
initiation, nor any form or degree OF rcpudGi-
ton. could be accomplished with him i'll the
White House. 1t is not quite clear that the
Democratic party can boast of one such candl-
date, but if it has one it is Gov. Tildcn.
President Grant, doubtless, had no idcn that
he was driving the last nall i'll the coffin Of
Grantism when he intcrfercd in behalf Of Bah
cock. Mr.. Cornell. it il probable, did not in
t.nd TO destroy whatever slender chance MIR.
Conkling had of the Republican nomination
when he sent bis dispatch about the inlpu-
"drnt resolutions Of the Union League Club"
Messrs. Holman and Atkins, no doubt, fancicd
that they were going to aclicve triumph for
that species of reputation which they term
"anti-contraction." But their notion like
many gun which clears wide and knocks
the owner OVER will produce results which
they did not contemplate nor desire. 1t was
defeated, lacking two-thirds vote. But 1t has
placed about one hundred and thirty Demo-
cratic members on the record, and more than
two thirds of them are found to be in favor
of reputation without pretext or condition.
With that brand of dishonor upon it, the
Democratic party cannot elect President

In the Pennsylvania Democratic Convention
yesterday at Lancaster some very notable po-
litical changes were made manifest. Mr.. Ran
dali has lost and Mr.. Wallace has regained the
leadership of the party in the State. MIR. ely
mcr's plumbers in the Bclknap business have
indicated his unftncss for managing the affairs
of the Pennsylvania delegation at ST. LOUIS
and therefore Mr.. Wallace will go thithcr nm
self. There is neither pledge nor tacit under
standing "a to the candidate for the Presl-
dency. The inhationists have been mostly
dropped from the list of delegates; the Con-
yention is evidently of opinion that the
party cannot afford to run the risk of any more
greenback hcresies. The rag-baby i'll PcnnSyl-
vania is seriously i'll.

astonishing. 1t is shown that the road was not

The explosion at Woodlawn flights, West

does not deserve to be called an accident. IL
was the natural result of management so
careless that it amounted to crime. The in

factory were III the habit OF smoking cigars
and pipes on the premises, and that the ex-

owners of the factory are quite IA much to

brought instant destruction upon himself.
