The Democratic State ConYcntion
dill two foolish things, viz 1T endors-
ed Sammy TiEden and snubbed john
Alorrisscy. The Convention by its acts
made it certainty that every Republi-
can in the country will vote his straight
ticket. no matter how much he may
have been disposed to bolt. For Tam
nany-John kclly's Tammaay-run
the machine from first TO last. John
Morrissey made a vigorous fight. but
he was routed, horse, foot, and dra-
goons, aud the Kelly was left in com.
plcte possession of the field. TiIden
was endorsed, and if he wins the nolni-
nation Inc goes before She people as the
nominee of tie most villainouSly cor
rnpt organization that ever existed.
He goes into the canvass as the especial
creature OF the old Tammany ring re-
org4nized--the Tweeds and Comollys
under other names. have no especial
admiration for John Morrissey, but
must say that he did make good fight,
and an apparently honest onc, against
these villains. But Tilden's money,
and the Tammany organization we're
too much for him, and down he went.
Tic decent portion of the Democracy of
New York are very sore oyer the result,
and with a good candidate the Republi-
cans can easily carry the State. Tam
many has recovered from its defeat last
fall, and is arrogant IS ever. Let the
Cincinnati Convention give the Repnb-
Iicans a good candidate, and let the st.
Louis Convention nominate Tilden, and
We can carry New York with perfect
ease.

Hooker, whose Oldest son, James Miner h ad
been raised by Rachel Ryder. When Tbos
Main appeared at his brothers the latter
was greatly affected, and begged the for
mer not to .eveal to any one his true name,
as no one but Catherine Hooker knew any-
thing or his true name and family in New
YORK State. He introduced Thomas as bis
alf-hrother. He was greatly changed and
Wslbly suffering from sorrow and reIlorse.
RE was soltcit0us to know whether his
children we're good aud smart, and wept
long and violently when told that his wife
was dead. He told his brother that the
memory OF the past haunted him night and
| day, and that he would give all he was
| worth to live it over. 1t was his intention,
| he said, to make all the restitution to his
wronsed family that he could when he
died.
On the 4th of January, 1873, Daniel
Miner died, it is said, In great agony, and
calling on his dead wife for forgiveness. A
snort time thereafter q document purport-
!ng to be the last will and testament of
Daniel Miner was entered in the Registers
once at Honesdale, the county seat of
Wayne county, and letters issued thereon.
BY its provisions one of his farms was left
to kachel Ryder, during her life, and to 90
to James Miner, the son of Catherine
Hooker, on the death of Rachel. The other
farm was bequeathed to two sons of Cath
crime, and the personal property was di-
vided among the other children of the two
women.
On hearing of the death of their father
his children In New York State resolved to
look after his estate, and one of them went
to Wayne County Whera ho foun6 tho citu
alton as above. From information he re-
ceived he was convinced that the will was
not the rational act of his late father, but
the result of influence brought to bear on
his mind, at the time unsound. The will
was dated on the 26th of December, 1873,
eight days before his father died. Proceed
ings to break the will we're at once begun,
and the case came to trial at the term of
the Wayne County Court just ended. 1t
resulted adversely to the legal heirs of
Main, but the case is to be carried to the
Supreme Court, where it is confidently ex-
pected the Judgment will be reversed.
