Of their candidacy for Office, all the men
who were instrumental in exposing the Canal
thieves and who were engaged in prosecuting
them for their crimes And this he has done
with the active aid and cooperation of the
thieves themselves He has defeated Mr. Ill
denis candidates and policy, and ousted HIM
from the place of leader, with the help OF
the Ring thief, whom Mr.. Tilden helped bring
to Justice And he has reformed, and Is con-
tiDung to reform, out of Tammany every
man who has any sense of sclf-rcspect, or
who refuses to render unquestioning obedience
to his mandates. This seems to be his grad
ual but certain process OF reform. Having
allied himself and Tammany with the
Canal Ring, to avcnge its members on the
officials who prosecuted them, and with Tweed
to put down the Reformers who assisted in his
exposure and punishment, he continues tho
good work by driving out of Tammany all
who do not approve his methods. But we are
told that he Is doing the best he can with the
materials he has at command; that all good
men ought to sympathize with and support
him instead of criticlsing his work, and that
decent Democrats ought by all means to stay
in Tammany and in the party to help reform
them from the inside.
Honest voters of all parties will do well
to consider the practical effect of vot-
ing the Democratic ticket, in the hope OF
assisting to reform Tammany and the party.
and the governments of the city and State,
from the inside. Democratic success this year,
it must be remembered, means something
more than the election of the candidates OF
the party. 1t intrusts the carrying out OF re-
forms, not so much to the party as
to Tammany, which now rules the party,
and Mr.. John Kelly is Tammany. DO
Reform Democrats desire to see MIR.

look like Reform.

SO-CALLEU FIREPROOFr

If Carlyle h lad written his trcnchant attack
upon shams within the last few years, he
might have found excellent Illustrations in
what has been called, since our war, "sh0ddy
architecture" 1t would be lauglable if the
matter were not so serious, to read of the sur
prise with which the revelations of the COM
mlttee that is examining the public buildings
at Washington, are received alike by the pub
lie and the authorities. Here is great nation
that has been accommodating its records and
documents of value ever since IFS origin. and
keeping them in less safety than a South st.
merchant provides over night for his bills of
lading. Out of all the public buildings at
Washington, there are two which the commit
tee regards as fairly secure all the rest. so
far as concerns the protection of their contents
against fire, are tinder-boxcs.
The Patent Office was always pointed out to
strangers as neat thing in architecture.
Very solid-lOOking were its massive fronts,
and very secure-apparently its interminable
paved floors, which had for years clattered
under the heels of thousands of weary inyen
tors and their attorneys. But no fertilization
is stronger than Its weakest point, and the
weakness of the Patent Office, as well as of
the architect who planned that part of it, was
in the upper story. Its root was sham. The
material was wood, covered with copper. An
ordinary timed roof would have been more
secure. AT "A red heat, copper mclts; and in
this instance there was plenty of fuel below to
melt it, and the liquid metal poured down in
a fiery stream very soon after the flames be-
gan their work. For beneath this wretched
roof there was ceiling Of light timber sup

The full bearings of the Russian victory are
becoming apparent Not only will Mukhtar
Pasha have to postpone indefinitely his project
to lay Alexandropol in ashes but he will
be in immediate danger of investment at
Kars His haste, in telegraphing that
Kara Dagh was safe, implies that he deemed
that key to the dcfences to be III
danger amid the general rOut on Mon
day. Had the Russians followed up heir sue
cess, it is probable that they might have found
a vulnerable point, but, as at Gettysburg and
Plevna, the victors are rarely ready for sec
ond onslaught Attention will, however, now
be rvetted on Kars. In the siege of 1853 the
Russian Army, 10000 strong, began the in
vestment on June 10, bat deferred the general
assault until September 30, when they were
repulsed with heavy loss. Two months later
however, the garrison, overcome by disease
and famine, surrendered. In that year snow
did not fall until November Is, and
military operations were practicable for
several weeks later. The Turkish garri-
son, then $4,000, is now probably much
larger 1t is well provisiOned, and bet
ter equipped than the force which General
Williams commanded. On the other hand, the
Russians are in greater number than IN 1850,
and have those 200 guns served by skilled
artillerists, to which Mukhtar attributes his
overthrow A few days will decide if the
Russians are resolved to begin the siege on
this basis. Although the road to Erzerum is
open to them, as it was last April, the lateness
of the season forbids any other great under
taking than the blockade of Kars.

In Washington letter, given elsewhere, the
Republican leaders take a long look into the
future, leaving the present campaign wholly
out of view 1t is evident that those who con-
slider the prospects of the party as so gloomy
are too much influenced by recent disasters.
The names of the prominent Republicans who
take much more hopeful view are such as to
inspire belief, not only in their sincerity, but
in their sagacity.

The meeting of the Civil Service Reformers
ut Association Hall seems to have been large
and intelligent gathering. The address of the
Rev. DR.. Henry w. Bellows showed that he
was not one of those who are Reformers just
because the phrases of the school please
their ear, but one who has studied the subject,
and has reached practical conclusions, which
he expresses in practical way. There has
been, unfortunately, considerable provocatlon
for the derision which some of the Civil Service
Reformers, with their meaningless catch-words
and Juvenile politics, have excited DIR. Bel
lows evidently belongs to another order OF
theorists.

The Tammany Hall ticket is, perhaps, as
good as could be expected. The judicial nom
nations will be received with general satistac-
ton. Chief-Justice Shea and Justice Sinnott
have made good regulations on the bench, and
the nomination of Judge Brady makes Ger
tam what has seemed from the first
probable, that this worthy Judge Will
be reelected by the unanimous consent, not only
of all parties, but of all factions. This will be
an edifying incident i'll a bitter local con-
test OF the rest of the ticket, there is not
much to be said. 1t is made up of the usual
run of Tammany workers, men about
whom the average citizen knows little
whether to their advantage or disadvantage.
