The Candidate for Governor.

LUoIus RoBINsoN OF Chemung county
was yesterday nominated for Governor by
the DE mocratic Convention at Saratoga.
This is n selection At to be made. For
twenty years Mr.. ROBINSON has been
known to the peoplo Of this State as pub
lie man of exalted patriotism, eminent
ability, spotless integrity, aud faithful, as
siduous devotion to duty. He 1rst distin-
guished himself in the Legislature Mt AL
bany rs strenuous friend of economy,
and merciless enemy of every form Of
jobbery and extravaganza. Always a
Democrat 10 principle, he Joined the Re-
publican party on the repeal OF the Mis-
sour compromise. He was an earnest sup
porter of the war, and separated from the
Republicans, after the war WINS over, on
their measures of Southern reconstruction.
Both parties have elected him to .mpor-
tant Offices and be lie now Comptroller of
the State.
There is no citizen OF New York from
whom wiser, more upright, more
efficient, more dignined, and more useful
administration OF the state Governmo mt
could be expected. His nomination is a
gratifying issue to u complication which
has justly been regarded with regret aud
nnxiety.

country. The United States have got their
beard in that time. From a raw, boastfrl,
provincial people we have grown into
strong, self.relant, and cosmopolitan one.
The fortunes of politics. the changes of
issues, and the promptngs of conviction
have separated us from the Times in this
important Presidential canvass, but we
give to our neighbor our hearty felicita-
tons on its manifest prosperity, and to
Mr.. GEORGE JONES and his able and in
dustrious associates, we wish long life aud
uninterrupted happiness.

BiII KembIe,s Mans Man.

ZACH CHANDLER, the CAMERON family,
and the Pennsylvania Treasury Ring, are
making desperate effort to elect the
notorious RUSSELL ERRErr to Congress
from the Pittsburgh district. This ERRErT
is the creature Of Bon MAcKEy, and may
therefore be rated in the Blue Book of
Ring rascals as BILL KEMBLE's mans man.
For some reason the masters of this man
have decided that he will be more useful
to them In Washington rs a member OF
Congress than Ia Pittsburgh as editor of
the Ring organ.
1t is not unlikely that the attention of
the masters was drawn 10 the capabilities
of the man rs q Republican Congressman
by the following words, which appeared
in his paper on the 10Th of last April. He is
speaking of the Investigating committees:
Nearly the whole Of this nasty scandal business I,

will do the work of the rogues who own
him as cheerfully, uncomplaningly, and
diligently rs heretofore. The people of
the Twenty Congressional District
must look to il that he does not have the
opportunity.
II must be said for ERRErr that his de-
votion to the CAMERoSs, to the Pennsylva-
mia thieves, and to the principles of Addi-
ton, Division, and Silence, does not inter-
ferc in the slightest with his hearty loyalty
to HAYES and WHEELER.

Tweed Safe il the Times is Right.

Our esteemed contemporary. the Nci0
York Times, contends that Gov. TILDEN
made false return of his income and COM
mitted perjury in swearing TO IL.
We can hardly believe the Times TO be
serious in making such n charge law
yer and gentleman Of Mr. TILDEN's
standing. whatever may be- thought of his
politics, will not be adjudged guilty of
such M offence rs tins except upon con-
elusive proof; and the accusation will be
generally regarded ms one Of the wild ex-
travagancies of Il heated political cam
paign.
sun there is one man deeply interested
10 have the charge maintained, and Mr..
TILDEN convicted of perjury. That man
is WILLIAM VI. TWEED. He was convicted,
mainly, on the evidence of Mr.. TuDEN.
Save for the interference OF Mr.. TLDES,
he might have been acquitted. If Mr.
riLDEN should bc disqualified to testify,
TWEED might thank the Spanish nuthori-
ties for furnishing HIM II free pnssar home (;
for he could stand second trial with
comparative impunty.

After having had full control OF his
mouth for twenty years, poor CARL scHURz has
at last been compelled to learn how to speak
through uuzzle. His voice must sound queer
70 those OF his listeners who have heard II In
other days, but even uueerer must II sound
In his own ears. ZACH CHANDLER denies
that he has ordered Mr.. SCHURz to retire from
tho business OF stumping for HAYES but he
does not tell the whole story about II. The fact
IL that SCnURZ, whose electioneering speeches
have irritated ZACH, has had a warning
from headquarters, TO which he has EVIL
IDENTIFY given heed, though most people
supposed he had lndepend ence enough to resent
the dictation Of such man a. ZACH. Latterly
his talk has been offensive that ZACH's
Official mouthpiece. the Administration organ
at Washington, has demonstrated publicly
and loudly with him about II. Only
yesterday. ZAcH's mouthpiece, after saying IN a
rather mixed style that the "roundirork Of his
lSCHuRzsl speeches has been a bdseless assault
upon the Administration Of President GRANT"
adds " In the opinion Of competent auth GRITTY,
speeches Of this kind are not calculated to ad-
vance the interests Of the common cause, and II
is rumored Mr. ScHuRz ,pds advised 10 mend he
trays" The day previous to the publication Of
the foregoing warning In ZAcH's mouthpiece, II
addressed him with no less insolence In these
words: "This man [scHuRzl has declared
his Republican allegiance, and his tai
ents have been engaged for no purpose
but to spread Republican truths; but II
we are TO have prophecies OF disaster,
his lips should, by all means, remain closed"
Now, ZACH CHANDLER may DEW that no has
issued direct and formal orders for the dismiss
sal Of CARL ScHURz from his place on the
Republican stump; but when ZACH GRAND
language to him and his speeches, we should
think It would be regarded by Mr.. SCHURz him
self as sufficient warning and notification that
his services are no longer desired by the mana
ger OF the Republican party's campaign, ZACH
CHANDLER.

When Mr.. STUART RoBsoS, the leading

called for the names OF the critics re-

charges. Pray, WHO'S to bring such suit, when
he refuses to make bis libel specific and per

especially desire that while many of his

voluntarily, and others will be left out by
popular condemnation, he and BUTLER
may for time keep up the traditions of n
