Tile YOTERiS CHOICR.

The action of Mr. John Kelly's Democratic
Convention at Albany, last week, has had at
least one good effect. 1t has led a great many
independent and unafflIated voters ont of the
"woods," and made their duty and their choice
IN the coming State election very plain. We do
not pretend to deny that in the present state
of feeling i'll the Republican party regard
ing the action of the Rochester Convention,
the nomination of a ticket at Albany which
should have preserved the old Reform dis
erlise, or retained any semblance of what
the Tilden wing has put forward for the past
four years rs the party's honest purpose,
would have drawn away from the Republican
candidates a considerable proportion of the in
dependent vote. and very likely weakened the
ardOr and enthusiasm of many Republicans
who were disappointed at the turn of events
at Rochester. 1t was possible for the Albany
Convention to confuse the public mind
by continuing the Reform pretext, and
so TO weaken the opposing party, and
strengthen itself. The Rochester Convention
enthusiastically created dissatisfaction in the
Republican ranks. 1t is not necessary now
TO discuss the extent of the differences, or en-
ter into the merits of the controversy. That
there was q quarrel. was enough. 1t merely
needs to be pointed out that wise management
at Albany, even the ordinary cunning of the
politician, indeed, would have comprchended
the situation, and seized the opportunity for
advantage which it offered. But instead of
profiting by the Republican disafecton, the
Democrats have actually taken the best course
possible to heal It,
The independent voters or dissatisfied Re
publicans who gilt have entertained the idea Of
going over to the Reform Democracy, will not
for moment think of supporting the Tam
many and Canal Ring ticket put up at Al
bany. AS between the Rochester ticket and
the Albany ticket, we cannot hesitate. In
stead of putting ont a lure for tho indie
pendent or Republican, who has taken offence
at the action of the Rochester Convention,
the Democrats, under Mr.. Kelly's lead, have
fairly driven him back into the Republican
fold, by showing him that whatever cause of
complaint he may have there, he will have a
thousand times worse under Democratic rule
Republican dissatisfaction arises from the fact
that the State Convention did not heartily i'll
d0rse the Administration policy of reform. The
men who are disaffected from that cause are
not likely to support the candidates of the
Canal Ring, or affiliate with Tammany Hall
under the lead of Mr. John Kelly. The logic
of their position drives them in the opposite
direction from tbat ticket and that crowd. The
Republican supporter OF the Administration.

on this point can be drawn from the bank
statement, but it is worthy of notice that
nearly every bank which is generally believed
to do large business for stock operators is
still losing in legaltenders In several instances
the loss ranges from 100000 to 100000,
and, notwithstanding large reductions in loans
and deposits, nearly every bank of this charac-
ter declines in proportion of legal-tenders to
deposits, less specie. These results could hardly
occur if the load carried by the street had been
perceptibly lightened by purchases for invest
ment. and the weight of other evidence, strong
ly confirmed by the returns of the banks, war
rants the conclusion that sales from without
still largely exceed purchases from without, and
that the load carried by the street is not
diminishing, bat increasing.

his standard Of reform, comes to Albany
to find the Convention there tearing of
the last flimsy prctcxt of disguise, banishing
the men who have prosecuted thieves, and
setting up in their places the candidates of
the thieves themselves, while the Canal Ring
celebrate their triumph with uproarious cheer
inc, and Tweed chuclles his delight from the
witness stand. Surely, this is no company for
an Independent, or a Republican Reformer.
1t is not wise, merely because the tone OF re-
lieiOus conversation at your clearinghouse
table does not come up to your standard OF
orthodoxy, to rush of and take refuge in
brOthel.
The question for the voter in this State has
ceased to have any relations worth considering
with the policy OF the Federal Administration,
with the Southern question, the reform OF the
Civil Service, Senator C0nking's control
of the Rochester Convention. Mr.. Curtis's de-
feat in that body, or the attitude of the Con-
vention toward the Administration, or any
other issue of purely national politics. 1t is
closer; nearer home. 8" The old set" are at
the door, with the old purposes, and the
old programme, and the old tools to car
~ them out. 1t is not a question now
how far any of us believe in the Pres
idents ideas of reform, or his method
of enforcing them, or at how great odds Sena-
tor ConlIling is with the Administration, or
how the vote of the State will affect either
party to that controversy. 1t is simply whether
we shall let the State of New-York fall back
into the hands of the Canal Ring and its Tam
many allies. And upon that no honest voter,
who Is not bound hand and foot in the tolls
of an unr, asoning partisanship, can long ques-
ton himself az to his duty.

4 GREAT THEORY IN DANGER.


Among all the broad conceptions of modern
science there is none that surpasses in grandeur
the nebuar hypothesis. 1t reaches back into
an earlier period than even the history given
Ivy the inspired volume. 1t begins untold ages
before creation when the earth was not only
formlcss and void, but had no separate entity,
being part of vast and shapeless cOncourse of
atoms that had been scattered through space.
According to this hypothesis, the original ne
bna from which the solar system was formed
by condensation. may have had, and probably
did have a diameter comparable only with the
inconceiyable distances from us of the fixed
stars. The elder Herschcl has the credit of
this magnificent theory, to which ne was led
by his telescope stables of the nebuln. La
place subjected it to the rigorous analysis of
mathematics, and fully sustained IT, One of
our most eminent American mathcmatlcians,
some years ago, went carefully through La
places computations, and afterward said to a
friend that while the theory answered the con-
ditions Of the problem it was by no means to
be regarded as the only possible solution. Never
theless it has gained a very wide acceptance,
and has been used in partial support of other
theories, such M that OF evolution.
Since it was first put forth, the nebular hy-
pothesis has passed through crisis that
threatened its overthrow. Ii had, from the
first. to encounter the prejudice of ancient
beliefs but it steadily won its way among as
tronomers. But when the great telescope of

these desperate Indians should succeed in join
ing Sitting Bull, the work of the Commission
which goes by that cheftain's name would be
nicely complicated.

Ohio votes to-day for Governor ard other
State officers and for members of both Houses
of her Legislature A Republican victory is
probable, and might he confidently predicted, if
the effect of the side parties on the result
could he accurately measured. The most i'm
pOriant of these is the so-called National party
composed principally of the formidable secret
societies in the Northwestern counties, which
recently made an alliance with the Greenback
faction, and appear to have the cooperation OF
most of the Worllngmen's organizations out
side of Cincinnati. There is a separate Work
ingmen's ticket IN the field and a Prohibition
ticket, but neither will get a respectable vote
The strife between the Republican and Demo
cratic parties, although made upon National
issues has not attracted much attention out
side of Ohio, nor as much III the
State as usually attaches to Gubernatora
contest. and the result will not possess great
significance or be attended with important
effects in the field of National politics. This Is
partly because of a marked Discrimination dis
played by the voters to engage with earnest
ness and vigOr in the strife, and partly because,
although there are differences enough in the
two platforms neither party has fought the
campaign upon important and clearly defined
issues The Democrats, In their platform,
struck at the Presidents title, at the Resump-
ton Act, and at the Protective Tariff system,
but they have not ventured to make bold
aggressive fight On either question The Re
pubcans stood firm for honest currency,
but instead of pushing their antagonists to the
wall on this issue as they did i'll 1873, they
have hnpn Cronjnp in the darkness and chaos
of the labor agitation for new weapons II
they win it will be a sign that the people are
wiser than the politicians, and know how i'm
portant is Republican supremacy to sound
financial Administration, and to the faithful
performance of the Nations promise of re-
sumption. A Democratic triumph will mean
little more than that the apathy of an Off
"year," together with the side issues raised by
new factions, has hurt that party less than the
Republicans.

correspondent of London paper, having made
the voyage TO America as an amateur Storage pas
senger, tells of an English immigrant who bought
spare pair of corduroy trousers just before embark
ing, and was charged five shillings duty on them
when he reached New-York, because they did not
seem to have been worn. We heard the other day OF
a poor American girl to whom she was about sail

cut out, and the young lady proposed TO make it
herself during the voyage but it was no. finished

not pay the dress was coniscated by the United

Life insurance companies have long been
cOntesting the question whether suicide vitiates
a policy, when it can he proved that the per-
son who killed himself was insane. 1t would be
tedious to review the various stages of this
controversy. Suffice it, that the companies
have been complacent on several victories in
the courts, since ingeniously inserting In their
policies. after tine suicide prOviso, the phrase
." sane or insane" The obvious intent of the
phrase is TO cover all kinds of suicide, and
decision of the Supreme Court reported to-
day, gives the sanction of law to such an IN

We have this morning another practical
response to the suggestion for the removal of
the remaining Alexandrian obelisk to this
country. Mr.. Serrell. besides making sensl-
bile protest against hiring English engineers to
do what we ought to hold it a point of honor
to do ourselves, offers to guarantee for $780,
600 the performance of a great deal more
than the English contractors proposed to do
for the same price, and agrees, moreover. to
raise $1,000 of the needed subscription. The
project of removing Cleopatras other needle to

lie imagination, and we presume there will be
httle difficulty in obtaining the money that is
asked for.

So far the Russians have been more friendly
to the war correspondents than the Turks, who
supervise rigidly all kilograms, and allow none
to be sent which they deem hostile to their
interests. Should the Russians carry into effect
the recent order restricting the journalists TO
headquarters, except when a great battle takes
place, there will be little difference between
the intolerance of the Turks and the vexatious
restraints of the Russian camp.
