THE Reform" Democrats of Texas have
just nominated Hon. D. c. Giddings to
succeed Hon. John Hancock in Congress.
The latter was Union man during the
war, while the former obtained his seat in
Congress some years ago by the suborna-
tion of perjury, as is related elsewhere.
When Giddings was nominated the other
day Hancock delegate arose and offered
a resolution to the effect that it should not
be in order hereafter in Democratic con-
yention to support candidate who was a
Union man during the late war. The
introduction of the resolution was pro-
nounced unwise, and all reference to it was
ordered to be expunged from the journal.

badly worsted in the contest, and they will
meanwhile have to look up another man to
confront Mr.. Elliott. There was no at
tempt at intimidation at the meeting in
question, as the Republicans were fully
two thousand strong, armed in every con-
ceivable manner, and the Democratic rife
clubs did not exceed six hundred. An
other reason why the Democracy behaved
themselves on the occasion was owing to
the presence of Col. Youmans, who is well
known for his conservatism,

THE recent decline in gold has attracted
comment upon the policy pursued by the
Administration as regards the Government
finances. This policy includes the act of
giving to competing financial firms the
privilege of placing the new funded loan
upon the markets of the world. This COM
petition has resulted in a rapid placing
of the bonds and the withdrawal of a
corresponding number of the old bonds,
accompanied bY decline in gold.

TIE STORY goes that Horatio Seymour
was induced by Tilden to accept the Dem
ocratic nomination to be Governor of New
York, with the understanding that he
(Seymour) should not be required to take
an active part in the pending canvass, and
that In the event of Tilden's election to be
President Seymour shall be Secretary of
State of the United States. The practical
result of this scheme would make Tilden's
tool, Dorshelmer, Governor of the Empire

their oratorlcsl champion, the brilliant Le-

Youmans enbe-ed upon the discussion not
without misgivings, as he had more than

EDITORIAL POSTSCRIPT.

The national game" of base ball appears
to have been nearly extinguished by the other
attractions and pastimes of the Centennial
year, and it is doubtful whether sufficient
patronage can again be secured to support the
high-salaried professionals who compose the
leading clubs.
Horatio Seymour still declines the nomina-
tion for Governor at the hands of the Democ-
racy of the State of New York. As Mr.
Tilden proposes to run the campaign, Gov.
Seymour need have no apprehensions as to his
services being required prior to the first of
January next, when the new Governor as
sumes his office. There is no probability of
his being elected. We see no necessity, there
fore, for the mental or physical effort, which
is forbidden by his physician. On second
thought, and viewing the subject in this
light, Mr.. Seymour may yet consent to the
use of his name for so harmless purpose.
His service would be Simply automatic.
