POLITICAL AO1fS.


1T doesn't seem necessary Tor Tweed TO talk any
more. lie has won the fight
There nothing left for any honest citizen of New
York to do except to vote the Republican ticket.
It was fitting that the loudest fraud" cry of the
season should come from convention run in the
interest of public thieves.
Tweed viii be in great spirits when he mountsthe
stand to-day. He should be allowed to approve of
the work of his convention in few words Of graft
tudc.
The Tammany bunderbuss has begun to shoot
Springer at Speaker Randall again. and somebody is
sure to get hurt. 1t may be Randall and it may be
Springer.
Without waiting for the accusation to be made,
the Democratic organs broke ont all over with the
cry: - tell You 1t Is not Canal Ring victory you
iio if you say it is" This is clearly enough the key
note Of thu Democratic canvass.
The treatment which the prosecutors of the Canal
Ring ON one hand. and he rag itself on the other,
received at the Albany convention proves that in the
Democratic party of this State honesty is suspected
and fraud secure. This an excellent bid Tor the
criminal vote.
Patterson says he will not dodge the Indictment
against him. but will appeal to the Senate to nyest-
gate the case. As the question is before the courts
there is nothing for the Senate to do but await de-
veiOpmcnis. Patterson is likely to obtain justice in
way or another if he Will be patient.
Few incidents in political history are more sub
lime than the hearty ana spontaneous way in which
the Canal Ring at A bany pledged their lives, their
fortunes and their sacred nonor 10 follow where
an honest aud fearless chief magistrate has dared to
lead. in reforming the Admins, alton OF the great
canals"
ii Mr.. Arthur has demonstrated any eminent fit
ness tor the post nc now fills. the fact would be an
excellent for keeping him where he is. III he
has not done SO, the fact will hardly be accepted

him. Inc DiplO uatic Service machine seems 10 be
troubled win hot box quite often as the T.. s. NJ.
The first Congressman to make public announce
men of his position in favor of General Banks for
Speaker is Mr.. Aldrch, of Chicago. This may be the
nest-egg of success, but there several chances
against it. Mr.. Aldrch is also III favor of resump-
ton by mean, of silver reconciliation. tie thinks
the silver dollar ,an he made of the same value us
the gold dollar. but he does not tell us how he is
going 10 KEEP 1T so.
Senator Mcdonald of Indiana has excited the ire
of the BourbOns in his State, by making a simple
fair proposition to his sick colleague, Mr.. Norton In
recent visit to the latter he told him that if he
was able to get to Washington at all, this Winter.
he would be glad to give him CHI ance to rest when
ever he needed it, by pairing votes. No gentleman
could do less than this, and yet the pIg-headed
Bourbon declares that Mr. Mcdonald has "disfran-
chised himself"
MIR. CASTOR has relieved the "fraudr shrekers of
their anxiety Dy writing Ills letter OF acceptance, and
not putting INTO it any disloyal aIluson to their
fayorlte war-cry. There has been fear that his
strong common sense would bubble out in some
remark Indicating his contempt for that beloved
plank in the platform bat he contents himself with
the casual remark that he approves all Of the resol
ton. Mr. CASTOR has never shown an inclination to
make his convictions disagreeably prominent
The paramount question IN the State campaign
now opened, is not the Administration is not Sena-
tor Conkng, but is shall the era of public plumber
so graphically delneated by the Boss plunderer him
self in his incompeted narrative be restored to the
city and State 1t Il question which crowds all
Others ont of sight. vote for the Tammany-Canal
ticket is a vote in favor OF restoring the rings to
power. vote for the Republican ticket is vote
in favor OF honest government. There Is possible
middle ground.
The Democratic editor is so accustomed TO crow
that he makes away with an ordinary dish Of 1t
without a shudder. The person who presides over
the columns of The albany Argus, prepared pretty
large dose Tor himself when ho said only day or
two ago that the defeat OF the old ticket would be-
the Z" triumph of the reactionsts vino think that
the golden OF the State was ia the days before
thieves chasised and driven out OF the capital
aud State House." Yesterday morning he swallowed
the whole of this at sitting and to remark
with Il bcatlhc smile that tho triumph of the re-
aCtlOnsts was Il thing to be proud of, and would |
rebound To the endless glory of the party IL was |
sublime spectacle.
Congressman Harrison, of tho lid Illinois Dis |
tric has been the butt of good deal of feeble wit
talking al amount Of sense. when he expresses him.
