ton. II was now to be decided whether IL
was Democratic and regular. The Muse OF
History pulled a fresh quill MIR. Jones, OF
Nyack, made u remark. which has not yet
come down to us. Alderman Purroy imme-
diltey crossed over to him and broke his jaw.
That settled it. The Convention uas regu-
larly Democratic. There was no longer any
doubt. But. as if to make assurance donDiy
sure, the gifted PuToy kept pouring IN Demo
cratic arguments upon the miserable jones'
until that unhappy man was taken out, Imp
and bloody. Meantime. the attendant band OF
"heeersn ratified in on the other delegates III
a hearty and enthusiastic, but quite pronliscu-
GUS and confusing manner under the impression,
no doubt, that the eyes and nose had been calh'd
for. It's very discOuraging to be told That lIime
diately after developing, in this energetic fashion,
the character of the Convention, the gifted
Purroy was baled before Police Justice on
complaint of the mashed and mangled Jones,
and was compelled to give bonds for his
appearance to answer to charge OF
assault before the Grand Jury. But we
may remember with pride and salts
faction that Purroy, whose presence of mind
did not desert him, shouted over his shoulder
"back," and that the Convention did take re-
cess until he returned from the court
room; and that when it reassembled 1T
nominated the Purroy candidate for
Senator, Colonel Richard NJ Lathers. 1t was,
upon the whole, a great day for Nyack. AS
for Purroy, he has covered himself all over
with glory. He ran the Convention, broke
Jones's jaw and closed his eye, and " mashed
"his bugle :" then he adjourned the Convention
while he took his trial reassembed it, and
nominated his own candidate; made things
hum generally in Nyack, and returned, bring
ING his "heelers" with him. AS for Jones, he
probably is not so handsome as he was before
he met Purroy, but he knows Purroy great
deal better than he did.

TBE COOPER INSTITUTE MEETING.

The meeting last night at the Cooper lnst-
tute showed the temper of the best elements
of the Republican party in this city. 1t was
a very large gathering, filing the bail to Its
utmost capacity, and it fairly represented the
respectabic educated and well-tO-do classes,
while its high places were occupied by men OF
culture and good social position, who, if they are
not always the real leaders of public opinion,
at least ought to be. These gentlemen came
together with the conviction that the Roches-
ter Convention had seriously misrepresented
the sentiments of the party; but, in making
their protest against its treatment OF the Pres
dent, they recognized the right Of RepubllcanS
to differ IN opinion without qlarlelllng
they studied moderation of language, and. as
one of the speakers well expressed it, they
were resolved that there should be no fac
tions in the Republican party. This was WISE
and reasonable, and their action ought not
only to encourage Mr.. Hayes, but to help the
Rochester ticket during the present campaign.
With regard to the details Of the Presidents
plans of action and the choice ho has made
of instruments to carry them out, there is,
even among the people who woke the echoes
of Cooper Institute last evening, con-
siderable disagreement Bat 1T is PLAIN
that intelligent Ncw-Y Yorkers heartily APP
prove what they believe to be the spirit and
tendency of the Administration, and are ready,
while they think it is heading III the right di-
rection, to give it a generous support The
sense of gleat popular meeting manltests it
self in better ways than by resolutions
which are drafted beforehand and applause that
may be prearranged, and nobody who witnessed
the proceedings last night could doubt that
the audience entertained a sincere respect and
admiration for Mr.. Hayes, and sympathlzed
warmly with his patriotic PURPOSES

MLLLN ENR DOCTORS.

The medical schools have opened every
where with a certain fanfare of trumpetS,
calling attention to the signal reform which
they propose to make in their system OF tram
ing. 1t was high time that such reform should
be made. The TRIBUNE year ago invited
public notice to the way i'll which doctors, espe-
cially in Philadelphia, were manufactured whole
sale out of half-cducated. sometimes llliterate
voung men, and turned loose upon the COM
munity at the rate of 5000 per annum. The
theory upon which this peculiarly American
system is founded is that a mans life IS too
short for careful study before earning his live
lhood young Bob Sawyer will not proba-
bly, have any patients for two years or so, and
he can spend that waiting time in studying
his profession, of which he knows but the
alphabet on receiving his diploma. The result
is. that while the medical fraternity in America
can boast Of many learned and skilful men at
its head who rank with any surgeons or ply
sicians in Europe, its inf rior grades are
crowded with pretenders, who would not be
thought fit to enter the lower schools of foreign
university. Nor are these NJ DIS. by virtue
of "a bought diploma they are regular graduates
of some of the highest medical schools i'll the
country, which, too often, according 10 DIR.
Wood, certify that men who have not received
a common grammar-schOO education, are quail
if d to practise in this most learned profess
sion, and to take the responsibility of the lives
of human beings into their care.
But we are told that all this is to be
changed The old University OF Pennsylvania
leads the way of reform. The grade of schOl
arship required for admission is raised the
curriculum demands three full years of study,
and gives instruction in clinical medicine, in
surgery, and in gynccology, with Opportuni-
ties for practical work in the dissectlng room,
laboratory. and hospitals, such as have never
been included in the course before. Nothing
could promise better than tho plan. Let us
trust that it will be faithfully carried into exc
cution Reform, however will only come by
degrees The most necessary lesson for the
American TO learn just now, in any trade or
profession, is thoroughncss; 1T is also the most
difficult and the one which both his character
and the social condition of the country mako
most repugnant to him. But it is app ling TO
think of the brains, liyers and lungs of the
next generation if the mills for doctors grind
on at their present rate Cor their sake, there
fore, if too late for our own, we hope the
University may succeed in ITS experiment.

Tweeds written confession was printed yes
terday in full by The Herald we give all
that Is new in the story III two columns, else
where printed In spite of the fact that 1t -
nearly all an old story. it makes very inter
cstmg reading, but it is no longer sensational.
Few additional names of persons wnOm tweed
claims to have corrupted are given. aud these
are not of prominent persons, unless Cen
eral Hustled and Mayor A. b. Banks, of AL
bany, are excepted. There is nothing conclusive
in the statement as 10 these, and one OF them
already denies the charge emphatlc;lly. The
most interesting part of the story is the reye-
latIon that Oakley Hall suggested, Tweed or
derpd, and William Ii. Cook, with the aid OF
oilers unknown, executed tine famous voucher
robbery. The manner in which the two Repub-
lcan Judges of the Court of Appeals were made
to run far ahead of their colleagues and thus be
returned as the successful minority candidates,
has never been as authoritatiyely stated be-
fore, but 1t is not an entirely new revelation

1t may be that the Patent Office ire was a
blessing in disguise. 1t has at least had the
good effect of arousing Government officers to
the necessity OF making the buildings
fire-proof which contain valuable public
records. The investigation ordered by Che Pres
ident has already disclosed. the startling fact
that the War Department buildings nave
little or no defence against fire, and That the
records of the four great wars in which the
country has been engaged might at any time
be swept out of existence. Congress ought not
to delay taking proper precautions against
such loss. The documentary history OF these
four great periods in the life Of the Nation
