From the New York Tribune
The IrrecOncilableS.

We fear that Gov. Tilden and Gov. Hen
bricks are straining themselves unnecessa-
rily and unprofitably. They are laboring,
it is said, to effect some agreement on the
currency question. We need not place
unreasonable confidence In the rumors
which come from Saratoga. directly, or by
way of Long Branch or Washington, but
there is probably good ground for the be-
lief that long and earnest conferences have
been held on the subject, in the hope that
some form of declaration might be devised
upon which differing elements could unite
Perhaps the experiment may succeed.
Whether it succeeds or not Is not of the
least consequence to the country, the par
ty, or its candidates.
The gentlemen who are engaged in this
business mistake the situation. The day
when voters could be deceived by juggling
phrases has departed. 1t vanished when
men penetrated the wilderness and pierced
mountains with railroads, and threaded
villages on telegraph wires as children
string beads. Once it was possible to hide
the fact that great party, protesting to
believe in one thing in New York was de-
manding the contrary in Indiana. When
Pennsylvania was carried for Polk, Dali
las, and the Tariff of 42." the democratic
party won its last victory. No party
whose deliberate aim is to cheat voters
will ever win another.
Mr.. Tilden and Mr. Hendricks may as
well say nothing. They can inform no.
body, deceive nobody. The country
knows that the democratic party is divided
into two factions on this question. 1t
knows that the stronger faction, both nu-
merically and in tenacity of purpose, de-
mands unconditional and unqualified repu-
diation of solemn pledge Of the public
faith. 1t knows that the numerically
weaker faction has been trying. ever since
Congress assembled, to sell itself at some
price little better than unconditional sur
render; that it has yielded, step by step,
day by day. until there are scarcely doz-
en- democratic members in Congress who
have the pluck to vote against any out
rageous demand which the regulators
may make. 1t knows that at St. Louis,
despite the magnificent organization and
overwhelming force of Mr.. Tilden's per-
sonal adherents, they were compelled to
surrender what they Justly deemed vital
point in the platform. They did not dare
to make manly fight for Tilden and the
public honor and hence, while Mr.. Dor

The Maine Standard makes dolefu
complaint about republicans excluding
democrats from office. Since the fathers
of the democracy adopted it as one of the
cardinal principles of the party that the
offices belong to the party in power, and
the democrats have practlsed upon that
idea from the time of Jackson down to the
present ex-Confederate House, which has
turned republican Union soldiers out of
office and given their positions to ex-
rebels. the Standard ought to pitch battle
on this point against its own party rather
than with the republicans. Mr.. Clifford
of Portland had the franEness to say in his
speech at the Tilden and Hendricks ratifi-
cation meeting in that city, the other eve
mig, that the democrats were the first to
put in practice "the maxim that TO the
viciors belong the spoils," and every
body knows that he told the truth. He
might have added that they have never
discarded that principle in practice when
and where they have had the power. 1t
Is only when they are out of power and
have no offices to distribute that they think
the principle is bad one. 1t makes a
vast difference with them whose "ox Is
gored."
