Now for the great November State
Peter Cooper was right in standing firm"
Cooper and Cary club has been formed at Fort Ed
ward.
The Albaay Argus had made up its mind to
be satisfied with anything. IL said yesterday: ANY
thing less than 10000 Republican majority Ohio and
IOOOO in Indiana will be great Democratic triumph"
A little of the solid South talk crops out
even in this State. Madison County Democratic ora
tor ia reported az saying the other night that he
cepted the term Confederate with all 1t implied, and
that it would have been better for the country bad Con-
ecrate officers borne rule In Congress FOR the last ten
years"
The Prohibition "bar'l of money" is n very
small kcg indeed The total amount on hand Is y 25;
the receipts thus far been less than $500 The lie
inq Issue, in noticing the charge OF The Albany journal
that the Prohibition organization is sustained, adyer
tsed and carried largely by Democratic aid, states
these facts adds There is scarcely newspaper in
the state OF the politics with The Albany Journal
that has repeated and elaborated the scandal The
exhibit shows Just how much aid the Prohibition party
has received, and where II has come from IL Is dicuH
where the Democratic aid that the Republican
press has been making such stir about comes in
bascless and neXcusable libel was never published"
In the Monroe district the Democrats have
nominated for Congress eN-Assomblyman f. Kirke Hart
OF Orleans The Rochester UniOH expresses great salts
faction with the nomination. not only because Mr. Hart
has been lifelong resident OF Orleans County, where the
marked Republican dissatisfaction with Congressman
Davy's reuOnnaon exists but because Of his personal
popularity. "Thisr The JsioH SAYS, 80 was shown when
in 1871 he was elected to the Assembly from the district
composed OF Orleans County He had the large majority
Of Sal. running Gil ahead OF his ticket And In the
Legislature Of 1872 there was no more Influential and
industrious member than Nr Hart He VIII be alike In
huental and industrious in Congress"
The Rochester Democrat in commenting upon
Mr. OConors letter. gives this history Of Mr. Dan
fortlls nomination for Attorney-Gcncm which Mr..
o'Couor amusngy attributed to his Endorsement Of the
Tweed decision: Mr.. Daniorh did uphold the decision
OF the Court OF Appeals matter OF law, nearly
every frsciass lawyer 10 the State also upheld IT, He
was nominated for Attorney General; but the things
had about rs much relation 20 each other a has
to "A cataract Mr. Danforth had been for % years aD
industrious lawyer In this city. He had become con-
fcssedly tine peer, at least, Of any member OF the
bar in Central and Western New-York He had never
held a public office OF any kind although frequently
urged 20 accept political hon0rs II was under such cir
cumstances that the convention Of the lid Assembly Dis
trct Of Monroe County without the previous knowledg'
MI DanfOrt HIMSELF requested the state dcle@cs 70
present his name as candidate for Attorney tcnerL
The publication of the resolution To tins eud received ns
immediate Endorsement Of nrighbOring counties ana
ultimately that OF the state Convention and this Win
out the raising OF finger by Mr.. Danorth IN his o"1
behalf"
Mr.. O'Conor's recent address to the Repub-
leans Of the State lin Is little favor with the press OF
either party, leading Democratic papers being especially
severe. The Rochester Union the Democratic organ
in Mr. Danforths city, and paper noted for its especial
riendness to Chief Judge Church. says II the ISSUE
between Mr. Danforth the Republican, and Judge Earl
the Democrat, should be made in this canvass as MI
OConor would ain have it, upon the decision OF me
Court OF Appeals the Tweed case. Judge Earl would
receive scarcely votes enough in the State OF Nevlok
TO certify that he was a candidate the field. On behalf
OF Judge Earl Democratic candidate, repel ana
repudiate Charles OConors assumption to place lin ID
the position OF anagonism to Mr. Dnforth and TO tBs
court OF which he is member, TO which the address
to the Republicans would assign him. And Judge Eal
owes it TO himself man, Judge OF the Court "
Appeals and a Democrat and candidate OF the Demo
cratic party formally discam all sympathy with aud
responsibility for O'COnors datribe. For unless suca
disclaimer is made fear that Judge Earl will be heu
TO acquiesce in what Mr. OCOnOr has said and will ose
the votes of thousands Of Democrats consequence
The Union reprOduees the interviews with Rochester
lawyers on the Tweed decision, OF which Mr.. Dauof"'
was one and shows that three OF the lawyers A'
olson Gardiner, Henry r. selden, and Samuel L. sede%
were iurists distinction that they served on '
bench the OF Appeals before its reconstruction
The Union adds There is not word uttered agalis'
Mr. Danforh that does not apply with much force
rather lack OF force and much injustice, 10 Addison
Gardiner and his associates In opinion And althousS,,
