A CORRESPONDENT OF the Demo-
crat. last week expressed considerable
anxiety, and wished to be informed, as
to the intentions of the Union League
in case the Democrats this fall nomi-
nate for the Assembly man who is
not sound on the doctrines advocated
by that body of repudiationists. The
conundrum propounded is one which
will not be answered until after the
conventions are held. This correspon-
dent will then find whether the dog
will wag the tail, or the tail will wag
the dog. AS the League element of
the party is stronger than the wing
which is opposed, of course the League
managers will dictate the nomination
and cram down the throat of the con
vention candidate who is entirely &C.
ceptable to them. With the assistance
which the League can command from
a few demagogues who, for the sake of
advancing their own political interests,
stand ready to sell out the city and
pull the League chestnuts out Of the
fire, it will have no trouble in control
ling the caucuses and again asserting
its power. The dose may be a bitter
one for anti-league Democrats, but they
will have to swallow it.

Hon. Z. w. Reyes.

Upon his retirement from the chair
manship of the Republican State Gen.
trail Committee at the opening of the
convention last week, Mr.. Keyes made
a capital speech which every Republi-
can in the state should read It has
the ring Of the true metal in it, and
sets forth the issues and dangers Of the
campaign in such lightas to command
the attention and admiration Of every
one anxious for the success of Republi-
can principles. 1t is noticeable fact
that the Convention passed unanimous
ly resolution commanding Mr.. Reyes
for the able and satisfactory manner in
which he has discharged his duties as
chairman, and acknowledging that to
his efforts are mainly due the Republi
can triumphs achieved while he has
been acting In that capacity. Such an
expression as this, coming from con-
vention in which there were no govern
ment officials, shows that Mr.. Reyes
friends are not, as is claimed, confined
to that elias Of individuals, but that
Republicans everywhere, with here and
there an exception who has become
soured over disappointed ambition, re-
cognizes his true worth as man and
party manager. Mr.. Reyes was never
stronger In this state than he is to-day.

Boss. TWEED is letting his entire
brood OF cats out Of the bag. He is
under examination by committee of
the New York Common Council.
Among other disclosures made by him
on Saturday was the fact that he paid
several State Senators $4,000 each for
voting to "put through" the Legisla-
ture the thlevish city charter of New
York city which was known, as the
Iammany charter. He gives their
names. He also declares that Hugh
Il astlngs, the proprietor of the New
York Commercial Advert5sey, received
S20, 600 for bis influence and cooper
alton, He repeats the old story about
how the members of the old ring rob-
bed the city and county treas urers by
swlndllng contracts, false vouchers,
ETC., and how they divided up the plum
der between them. [ appears from
his statement, that Mayor Oakley Hall,
now fugitive in Europe, was as deeply
in the mire as the rest of them were in
the mud, and was exceedingly mercen,
airy and uuconscionable.

The Aid of Office Holders Invoked.

The Waterloo Journal, in stirring
appeal in behalf of the Republican
State ticket, remarks that "the time
has now arrived when the class of Re-
publicans known as federal Office hold
ers will have an opportunity to show
the extent of their devotion to Repub-
lican principles" 1t implores them to
clay aside their coats and come to the
front, and lead the campaign, and rail-
ly their friends to active work." and
says that "by SO doing they will earn
the esteem and gratitude of all true
Republicans, and save the ticket from
defeat" 1t does not think the Presi-
dents order was intended to cut off
government officials from active parti-
cipatlon in campaign work, and insists
that "the candidates once in the field,
the office holder has the same right,
under the order, to labor for their cleo
ton that any ore else has" 1t tells
them of the golden opportunity which
is presented "to cover themselves all
over with glory by coming at once to
the front, and leading the Republican
hoststo an old time victory" and says
that unless "they and their friends
come promptly to the rescue the State
ticket which we publish to-day, unex-
ceptionable as it is, will be beaten out
of sight"
The Journal, we think, is mistaken
In the construction it puts upon the
Presidents order. AS we understand
it, government officials arc to leave po-
litics entirely alone. The President
says in his order, ono officer should be
permitted to take part in the political
organizations, caucuses, conventions Or
election campaigns" Nothing can be
palmer than this. So long as that or
der remains in force, no Office holder
can be prominent or even active in po-
litics without endangeriug his official
head. His motto should be, "obey or
dess or resign We are not so apprc-
hensive as the Journal is of defeat ia
case the office holders retain their pla-
ces in the back seats to which they
have been assigned. When the thous-
ands of Republicans whom the Milwau-
kee Sentinel says have left the party
on account Of the impairment and OBJ
jec,ionable course of office holders
come rushing back, as the Sentinel
says they will, the Journal will see
how needlessly alarmed it has been.
We should be glad to see every Re-
publican in the State buckling on his
armor and preparing for the contest
before us, but it is desirable that the
Milwaukee Sentinel and those whom it
represents shall have elbow room, and
hence we are in favor of office holders
standing aside. We got along passably
without them at the State Convention,
and can undoubtedly dispense equally
we'll with their active services in the
approaching campaign. At least that
is the view Of the Milwaukee Sentinel,
and we take it for granted that the
Sentinel is not mistaken.

The Chicago Tribune repudiates the
silver plank in the Republican platform
adopted last week at Madison, and de-
nounces as the worst kind of"commun-
ism" the labor resolution passed by the
Convention. The Milwaukee Sentinel
is dlsgruntled over the platform gener-
ally, and says that "the resolutions be-
ing expressionless, the people are justi-
lied IN turning to the resolutions adop-
ted by tho National Republican Con-
vention at Cincinnati to find what the

WatertOWn and the Registry-Law.

Natert0Wn and the Registry-LaW.
We understand that Attorney Gen
eral Sloan has given an obinion that
the registry law Of last winter does
not apply to this city. If we were a
lawyer, perhaps we could comprehend
the point, but as we are not, we are
unable to arrive at the conclusion reach
ed by the Atty General. Films law,
amending the city charter, which it is
claimed governs in the case, makes
the Alderman, Supervisor and Road
master. inspectors of election. This
law was approved by the Governor,
Aarch lst. Tbs registry law, which
provides that the Mayor and Common
Council shall appoint inspectors and
clerks Of election. was passed subse-
quently to the Finn law, and approx.
ed by the Governor March Sth. Now.
the two laws, in the respect named
are patible. Both cannot be in
force because their provisions conflict.
The question then is which law is
operative. We should say the
one which was passed last and
which repealed all prior laws not
In harmony with it. Judge Sloan's
idea is that a law passed March lst
may repeal one which was passed
March 9Th. We are so stupid as to be-
Geve that law passed March Sth can
not be repealed by one passed March
LIST.
And such seems to be the view of
the Board of Street Commissioners.
who, setting aside the opinion of Judge
Sloan and the City Attorney, have or
dered a special election to be held on
the 21st inst, to choose Mayor and
elect an Alderman in the I'd and 9th
wards, which will constitute quorum
of the Common Council, and enable
the proper authorities to set the ma
ehlnery of the registry law in motion.
This will uot be strict compliance
with the law. as by its terms the APP
pointments of inspectors and clerks
should have been made prior to this
date, but We presume there will be no
objection to it, though it leaves as
good ground for contest on account of
lrregularity as if this action had not
been taken. If the Board had wished
to comply technically with the law it
would have doue month ago what it
has now done, and had Mayor and
Common Council ready to perform the
duties required sat the first regular
meeting Of the Board in September"
which occurred on the Sd. We as.
sumo that the Board of Street Com
missioners, with its chairman pro tenn,
who discharge all the duties which
Common Council can do, except to le-
Wy taxes, were fully competent to make
these appointments, and that the ex
penses attending these special electors
In the wards are wholly unnecessary.
This Board exercises all the other
powers requisite in the conduct of cleo
tons, canvassing of votes, ETC., and it
certainly could be trusted to do what
Is required in this instance. It may
not meet the technical provisions of
the case, because the law says these
appointments shall be made by the
MAJOR and Common Council, but there
can be no doubt that if the Board had
shown disposition to comply with the
law to the fullest extent in its power,
Its doings could not be annulled, nor
any election be successfully contested
On account of that slight informality.

The State Convention.

t1On DGlu laSC week IN NlaulSOD. he
ticket nominated is one of the best ev-
er placed before the people, and will
command, as it deserves, the undivided
support of the party.
The platform adopted by the Conven-
ton is brief and hould be read by ALL
AS a declaration of principles, it is not

Conventions in Wisconsin have been in
the habit Of promulg ating. 1t has an
uncertain sound about it, bearing evil

ces. We were led to believe and sup
pose from careful reading Of the Mil
waukee Sentinel, which we supposed
knew what it was talking about, that
the Convention would take decided
ground in favor of the Southern policy
of the President, and enthusiasticaly
endorse Civil Service Reform, but the
Convention belied the Sentinel and did
neither OF these, contentlng itself with
a few glitterlng generalities viii CHI
amount to nothing and are rather un-
plimentary than otherwise. We
presume the Sentinel has concluded by
this time that if there had been a few
Postmasters IN the Convention to see
that the administration received fair
play and the recognition it deserves.
platform would have been adopted more
to It's liking than that which was final
ly put forth. But the hands Of govern
ment officials were tied, and it was not
competent for them to interfere with
the deliberations of the Convention, or
manipulate the wires, as it is charged
they have done in the past. This was
a Convention from which machine"
men were carefully excluded, ard if
the result is not what the Sentinel and
those who believe with it desired, the
fault is certainly not that of the Post
masters.
We concur fully with the Sentinel
liz its view that the Convention dis
played weakness of the spinal column
that it is inexcusable, but the respons-
Utility should be placed where it be
longs. 1t will not do to make the Of
fee holders accountable for what in the
nature of things they were powerless to
prevent. We assure the Sentinel that
this much abused class, if they had
been in the Convention in sufficient
numbers to exert controlling infu.
ence, would have given it platform to
rejoice over, instead of one that pro-
vokes its maledic tons and curses.
They would not have tolerated such
expressions of cold comfort for the
| President as those which the Conven.
ton grudgingly gave him. The Sen
tinel is to be sympathized with that lis

have been so futile. AS an indication
of the Sentineps influence it does not
strike one with awe on account of it's
gigantic proportions, but rather is sug-
gestive that the cause of the President
has been damaged instead Of benefited
by the Sentineps advocacy Of it.
