Thompson concludes that there are no

from the Southern Ocean, flowing con-

THR RRAL ISSUE.

The Democratic and Conservative

pointed at and by a mass meeting of the
people, duly announced and largely at
tended. That committee, as empowered
passed and published a resolution invit'
ing ell Democratic, Conserva tive and
Liberal citizens to participate in the
primary meeting to be held to elect
delegates to a nominating convention.
In nearly every ward meetings were held
and Democratic and Conservative clubs
formed. Delegates we're selected under
the resolution here mentioned and the
Convention duly held. After an inter
esting and spirited contest. Judge John
R. Flippin was nominated. The pro-
ceedings from first to last we're regular
aud fair, and unobiectionsble. Judge
Flippin is the choice and nominee
Of Democrats, Conservatives and
aud Liberals. The only party or clSss
not invited to participate was the Radi
calls, and this is the party that has
brought forth Mr.. League. His cAndi-
dacy is the result Of a caucus Of the
leading Radicals of this city, white and
black, held day before yesterday in the
Office Of Barbour Lewis. The idea that
he is the Peoples candidate lie pre-
posterous. he is the candidate OF Bar
bour Lewis, Ed Shaw and John League.
The issue is clearly made up. The Rad
icals have concentrated upon Mr.Losgue
as the only mar who would assume the
Leadership Of their hosts against our
nominee, and in supporting him, OPP
pose the Democrats, Conservatives and
Liberals who united to bring out and
elect Judge Flippin. The people can
not be deceived by that beautiful and
softly worded card. League will poll
the old Radical vote and nothing more.
1t only remains for the Democrats aud
their friends to rally their forces and
once more overwhelm the Radical party
and remand their leaders to the shades

GOVERNOR TILDES's message to the
Legislature is so "loRg.wi-d ed" that the
New York Herald, to use its own Ian
gusge, is compelled to drop some Of its
padding" Padding or not it 10 a valn-
able statistical document, that can be
studied with profit outside of the State
Of New York. We have received an ad-
vance copy of the message, but at pres
ent will be content to use n paragraph
from the Herald's very ill-natured and
Aippant criticism:
There are sound views and valuable
information in the message if the chat
we're winnowed out. Every citizen has
90 interest in the statistics relating to
the fiscal condition of the State, and
will approve Of Governor Tilden's zeal
for diminished taxation. The neal ex-
tinction of the bounty debt renders a
large reduction Of taxes possible; but we
do not see that the Governor helps the
matter any by his sneers at the creation
Of that debt. Nobody disputes that the
faith Of the State is bound to pay it,
and there is no other apparent reason
why the Governor should denouuce
it at this late day but to rec
ommend himself to the South as a
Presidential candidate. There are other
portions of the Message which are ad-
dressed to the South with the same view.
Nobody needed to be informed how
grossly the South has been misgoverned
since the war. The Governor cannot
think he is conveying any information
on this subject, and. as it is not 10 the
power Of the New York Legislature to
apply a remedy, why does he swell the
bulk Of his Message with such a topic?
This piece of irrelevance. though sent
to our Legislature, is addressed to the
Democratic party in the Southern States
aud ia a bid for Tnden delegates to the
National Convention"
