hours there was great activity among the
organs, and an earnest search for the deceiver
who had misrepresented Gov. Seymour. The
responsibility lay somewhere between Faulkner,
Magone, and Spriggs. Faulkner has been cx-
onorated Magone is not entirely fee from
blame, but the chief "deluder" seems to be
Spriggs. "Henceforth we are told that
"Spriggs anyhow, and Magone, unless he
"can purge himself of the suspicion that
"now attaches to him, arc dead in the
democratic party" So that seems TO be
settled. Henceforth we may understand
how to account for any offensive smell
from the Democratic party; Spriggs
a'yhOw," and Magone possibly, are dead
in it, There is something painful in this
summary disposition of an optimist in philoso-
ply like Spr;ggs. Without any earthly inter-
est that know Of in Spriggs, except that
which his suggestive name would naturally
excite, we venture here and now to put in
good word for him against the manifest in
justice with which he is treated 1t was not
Spriggs alone, oh noble band Of reformers,
who put up this job, and fooled the conven-
ton. You fooled yourselves. You had Gov.
ScymOurs positive and absolute refusal before
you. You said he was an honest and sincere
man, and that he meant precisely what he
SAID. You said it was libel, an outrage. and
shame when his opponents charged that he
meant nothing by his refusal to be candi-
date. You were savagely indignant at all such
imputations upon his truthfulness. And yet
what did you dof In the face of a refusal as
positive and final as words could make it,
you did nominate him, and your conven-
ton, when it offered him the nomination,
visibly and palpaby and wicliedly winked ut
him and jerked its thumb over its shoulder and
thrust its tongue in its check rs one who says,
"Ah, yes we understand all that, and we know
"you don't mean it," That was the c0mpii-
ment You paid him. It is the habit OF you
fellows when man says and insists that he
never drinks and does not want to drink and
won't drink, to pour out the whisky and put 1t
in front of him. In some circles that Is n sign
of good fellowship, and shows that You mean
to be friendly. You tried that on Mr.. Seymour,
and your whisky has been wasted
Oh, no, gentlemen, it wasn't Spriggs alone
who did it. Spriggs is only bold and hope
full optimist. He supposed Gov. Seymour had
been lying all the time he was saying that he
would not accept. You all thought SO. Not
man in all your convention ventured to get up
and intimate that it was barely possible the
Governor might be in earnest and might stick
to what he had said. No. no, gentlemen; 20
slow---be calm-let up on Spriggs. Sprggs did
it, to be sure, but so did all the rest of you.

pricks of conscience, have never been quite
easy under these new conditions, and have all
ways been in hot haste to so back again
Now even if the Republicans, for the sake Oh
supporting Gen. Grant four years ago, were
willing to wink at the dubious dOings OF their
file leaders, we submit that no greater degree
of independence is to be looked for either IN
Democratic President or his party. What
reason has Gov. Hendricks for supposing that
Tilden as President viii be any more success
full in keeping his party honest than Gen.
Grant has been7 1t is true that he may
reckon upon the great assistance which ne
himself will bring as Vice-President. but as
that is point upon which he fOrbore TO
speak, we will say nothing about it.
Why, then, considering all things, do we
hope for better things from an administration
led by Gov. Hayes7 This is a fair question,
and entitled TO fair answer. Because there
is in the Republican party an honest clement
which trlumphed in his nomination. Because
he is not the candidate of the faction which
for the last four years has been dominant IN
every department of the Government. because
he brings to the canvass weight or good
personal character, which in times like these
we cannot afford to disregard. Because he has
pledged himself to reform of those branches
of the Government which most sorely need 1t.
Because his election does not necessarily I'M
ply universal redistribution OF places ana
their profits, with all the decentralization which
must accompany it. Because all the clrcum-
stances of his nomination put him under
the weightiest of moral bonds. Gov. Inden,
whatever his merits, is the representative OF
party which processes to be as it always has
been, and the sole guarantee of which is In
record by no means unexceptionable. Gov.
Hayes is tho representative of party which
by his very nomination has acknowledged Its
errors, and declared its determination OF cor
recting them Gov Hendricks is candidate
for different Office, and if elected his chief
duty will be to preside in the Senate. One
who is in his position may promise what he
pleases without much danger of being here
after taken to task, and yet we cannot see
that Gov. Hendricks promises much for Gov.
Tilden. A President who is to be good ono
solely by reason of the virtues of the Demo-
cratic party, might be nothing remarkably ex-
cellcnt after all.

MIR. ROBSON on DRAMATIC CRITICISM.

MIR. ROBSON on DRAMATIC CRITICISM.
Mr.. Stuart Robson, the actor, has been fool
ing with pen and ink, and his friend, Mr.
Bret Harte the author, has impaired the un-
| fortunate fact to the public. Mr.. Robson in
sinuates that the opinion of the New-York
press upon Mr.. Harte's drama is unfayOrable
for tho reason that the newspapers were not
paid TO write in vein of commentator. Mr..
Robson goes further than this. and c0mming-
ling noble grief with an imperfect syntax, is
" sorry to sayn that "the dignifed critical ex
"pression Of the press" "has become merely
"a vehicle of advertisement largest
"purse commanding the longest and
strongest editorials" Mr.. Robson speaks
not only as scribe, but as one having au-
thority. "This is a notorious fact, he says, " or
(which the play-going community are fully
aware The statement has high and
melancholy sound, and plainly denotes a
lamentable condition of things--sOmewhere
Perhaps the trouble is In the great brain of
the facetious Mr.. Robson. We should, at any
rate, he almost as sorry for the Stage as this
delicate gentleman is for the Press if we could
accept, off-hand, his very comprehensive and
positive testimony against the members OF his
own profession. Those who give bribes are,
surely, as bad as those who take them and
if Mr.. Robson is really aware that the stage
has been bribing the press, he may make us
distrustful even of the fiattering expressions
of respect for his own ability and personal
worth which have sometimes heretofore
adorned the public journals and that would
quite darken tho landscape for some time.
1t seems possible however, that Mr.. Robson

at the instigation of persons quite crafty
enough TO make the impatience and indiscre
ton of a comic actor merely vehicle of
ADVERTISEMENT We think we have heard
before that to get up discussion about play,
through the medium of "your friendly columns"
is thought TO be wholesome for the business of
the theater The sagacious and cheerful Mr..
Boucicault, we believe, worked this oracle, in
days of Auld Lang Syne; so that this is one
of the things that have been done. Nor
do we detect flavor of novelty about
this wholesale aspersion of the integrity
of the press. Actors, if we may credit
such ebullitOns as that of Mr.. R0bson-which,
by the way, receives particularly ill-bred
and mendacious Endorsement from Mr. Bret
Harte-have always bought their way to the
favor of the press, even when they were too
poor to buy their own gin. We commend Mr..
Robson to his own sense of humor. 1t ought
to he strong enough to save him from making
himself ridiculous, when he thinks of his COM
peers as the Walpoles and Camerons of the
play y-house. Mr.. Robson, perhaps, knows some
theatrical people who are scamps and rowdies
He might find some fragrant specimens not
far from Union Square. Yet it is not an ex-
travagant suppositior that Mr.. Robson would
reprobate, in no measured TERMS the journalist
who should assert that the dramatic profession
is crowd of blackguards.

The failure of firm of hat manufactures
whose business was among the largest Of th
kind in the country, furnishes another indica
ton that mercantile affairs are very slow in re
covering from depression. The failures of tn
present year are, however, rarely caused b.
sudden shock; in general they result from th
difficulty of meeting new conditions of trade
changes in value, demand, and supply.
