how msHy depositors leave it altogether

SAVINGS RANKS.

The New York Sun says that the poor

pittance for their support in sickness, old
age, or enforced idleness of the institu-
lions to which they intrusted their money.
The events Of the past few years show
that the guardianship OF State officials is
not 10 be relied on. When ssuperintend-
ent allows concern like the Third Ave-
hue Savings Bank to continue TO re.
ceive deposits long after its rottenness
has been demonstrated by the daily press,
it is,plsin that no help is to be expected
from him. Depositors must inquire
themselves into the facts of the case, and
if thcy are unable to do it they must ge.
some competent and trustworthy person
TO do il for them. As q help to this pro-

a platform, which contains THIS plank;
"Fifth-A repeal of the tax on whisky

This part of their programme will not

SORRY BUT NOT ANGRY.

Our lugubriosity over the result Mt
Cincinnati, which seems to have touched
the feelings of the Mtetiigencer, was
really more the spirit oil sorrow than that
of anger. We have no war to make
against Governor ALLEN, or even against
the Ohio Democracy. We regret that
we cannot see their work IN the same
light that they do. They profess that
their intention was to snub the money
power of the East, yet in doing so they
have virtually given victory to Gov
ernor TILDEN. Mr.. THURMAN was the
only man that TILDEN had regarded MS
formidable enough to make things lively
for him. Or course an open war on
the part OF TILDEN against THUR
MAN in OHIO would have been ridicu-
leus, and no one knew this better than
Mr.. TILDEN. So he preferred to use the
personal popularity of Gev. ALLEN to
accomplish his purposes. OF course we
do not mean to say that Gov. ALLEN
knowingly or willingly submitted his
name to be used in this connection, but it
was done nevertheless, and when the
truth Of history is laid bare, it will most
probably be revealed that PENDLEToN
L. ii LII. - IL
ALLEN is sound Dcmocrat-a pure hon
est man--but he is an old man, almost in
his second childhood, and can absolutely
be controlled by others lie is chock
full of vanity, and yielding to this
weakness he his been battered with
the promise Of nomination ut st. Louis
to lend his popularity and hold upon the
affections of the people-a firm hold,
made so by the services of long and
useful life to accomplish the end of de.
signing politicians.
1t is over and can't be helped. We
are sorry because we see IN it success
full effort of our enemies TO create discus
sion. 1t is as the Courier. Journal says,
but repetition of the OCoNNER move
ment made in the Republican party.
But it is time enough to mend matters
and we confidently believe that there Is
wisdom and integrity enough in the Dem
ocratic party to lead us to success We
want no platforms-we only want q
man to head the ticket. We want man
OF purity Of character, of ability, Of
patriotism and craftsmanship. We want
man of proper physical qualities, who,
lfelected, will have the necessary strength
OF arm. muscle, nerve and vitality to
clean the augean stables of the filthy con-
dition in which the outgoing administra-
ton will leave them. We don't want
men with hobbies; we want active, az
gressive men. The Democracy must
make this an aggressive campaign-car-
rying the war into the enemy's camp
We have always lost by being placed
on the defensive. We want no foolish
ness this time, and differences that
cannot be healed must be passed over in
silence--fo for the present at least. We
want 10 90 into the conflict with the de-
termination to drive the enemy from his
works, and in order TO do this we must
advance our standard of REFORM, and
down with CORRUPTION for our battle
cry. We not only want enthusiasm. but
discipline, and any man who fslters let
hlm be spotted - a traitor. ..-t
