he would have been sixty six years

of the scenes at Ford's Theatre at the
time of his assassination, from a

that this is . significant Dispatch"
likewise that 1.-THE Express is good DEM

ho would never have hazardei so reck-
less an assertion. There was q timo
when the Express was ''good Demo-
cratic authority" but its influence
among the genuine Democracy Of the
Empire State was lost when John Kelly,
the Tanmauy Boss. became the con-
trolling spirit OF the concern. The
reign Of Tammany Hall in New York Is
practically at an end. The organization
has been killed by its friends. AMI to-
day no Democrat who pre,ends to any
sslfrespect owns allegiance to the or
eanization which has produced a Tweed
and a Kelly. Tsmmany was missrably
wontsd in tho Democratic State Con-
vention. q fate which has not overtaken
1, before for years; and this fact alone, |
which the erudito editor OF the Enter.
prise should certainly have known. shows
how little influence its organ will have
over the Democrats OF Now York State.
But tho dispatch 10 '~'sisnifcant'' as
u contemporary says. 1t shows that
John Kelly means to fight Tilden with
all the power which is left him as the
leader Of Tammany. II shows that the
New York delegation which has hitherto
been supposed to be n unit in favor Of
Tilden will SO into tho Convention divi-
ded. Tammsny will rally its miserable
remnant Of q once powerful army. and
oppose the man who was chiefly instru-
mental in bringing its thieves and scoun-
drcls to justice. And this will probably
destroy whatever prospects Tilden may
have had for gaining the prize. IL. in

ton can DO considered . prize. When Q
mans wi State refuses to endorse him
unanimously. it is not to 30 expected
that ether States will rally TO his sup
port. And thus 1t il that a miserable
,ime-server like Kelly ran defeat the as
p~intions Of an honest man like Samuel
J. Tildcn.
The Governor OF New York il one Of
the few honest Democrats in office. II
was scarcely to DO supposed that there
was decency enough left in the party to

they could not corrupt-.who is a Demo-
crat from principle. Tlden. with his

not anti Boss Kelly and his Tammany

chance to lead the party to victory.
