three States would be valuable preparation
to deciding upon a location, and good route
would be up the Valley of Virginia to Staun-

Piedmont Region, between Charlottesville and

made through Northern Georgia to Atlanta,
and from there by the Air Line Railroad
across the u9lands Of South Carolina to Char

THE Old 81 4.

A few days ago, when there seemed to be every
probability of the denomination of decent
set of officers by the Democratic Convention
at Albany, a Tammany statesman, known as
Charley Walker was observed wandering
about the Capital in lost and desOlate cOndi-
ton. moaning that he wanted to see the old
"set back again." He was not alone in that
From various parts of the State, from Ludlow
ST. and City Hall-place, and the low grounds of
Centre-st., and all along the tow-path, came
the boys, complaining that they hadn't had
"a chance to cheer" since these new tangled
notions of reform came into fashion four years
ago. They were poor, and thirsty, and for
lOrn they couldn't make cent out of poll
tics; they couldn't find bottle with the cork
out; and they all "wanted tho old set back
"again."
Well they have their way. The old set is
back. There is to be no more nonsense about
Democratic State politics, no more absurd pre-
fences of change of heart. The war which
has been going on between the two wings of

comfort nowadays without going through a rigid
course of self-examnatiOn to convince himself that
he mas not been stealing something or committing
forgery or SO during the day. As prophylactic
measure during this epidemic of financial impro-

The uubolv alliance between Tammany and
the Canal Ring carried everything before it, in
the Democratic Convention yesterday. No
consideration was shown to the antiTammany
delegation from this city. 1t was, in meta
phOrical sense, kicked and cuifed out of the
convention, and the door slammed in its face
Having driven off the MOrrissey faction, Mr..
John Kelly proceeded to make short work of the
Old ticket and its supporters All the driftwood
came over to the winning side, and the Tammany
sachem found that he had nearly two-thirds OF
the convention at his back. His followers
comprised motley throDg of canal-thieves,
municipal ringsters, aud legislative jobbers,
with a sprinkling of respectable delegates with
grievances against Ex-Governor Tilden, which
they wanted to pay Off on his former lieuten-
ants, or with grievances against those lieu
tenants themselves, and a large admlXture OF
stupid rural Democrats eager to be counted in
with the victorious party. The friends OF the
old ticket comprising most of the Iilden re-
form element. made @ spirited fight to the
very last, cOntesting every place on the ticket
except that of Controller, over which there
was no controversy, and coming out of the
disastrous struggle with the credit of pluckily
resisting an overwhelming reactionary move
ment. Very little wisdom was shown by the
victors. Instead of looking for less objec-
tionable candidate, they crowded Allen c.
Beach through for Secretary of State, giving
him 227 votes against IA, which were all the
old ticket men could muster for John Bige-
low. Acknowledgement Fairchild was beaten
by about the same vote, the Tammany candi-
date being Augustus SchoOnmaker, jr. Both
factions united on Controller Olcott, who is
the solitary relic of the old ticket. The nomi
nee for Treasurer is James Mackin, and for
Engineer, Horatio Seymour, jr.

THE TRIBUNE FOR THE CAuPATGV.


The candidates nominated by the New-Ior
State Republican Convention at Rochester,
will receive from THE TRIBUNE hearty, but
discriminating and judicious support There
can be no doubt to which party sensible and
patriotic man ought to give his preference
The National Administration needs the coun-
tenance and aid of all good citizens in It's
efforts to restore peace to the SOuth, In
its honest management OF the finances,
in its resolution to keep faith with the
public creditors and restore specie payments,
and in its sincere labors for the refOIma-
ton of the Civil Service. The action OF the
Democratic Convention at Albany proves
that from that organization, as it Is
now controlled, good government, either
local or national, has nothing to hope.
A Republican victory opens to us the prospect
of honesty and common sense in the regula-
ton of municipal matters, economy and integ-
rty in the business of the State, peace and re-
form in the affairs of the Nation. Demo
cratic victory threatens disturbance, corrup
lion and financial disaster.
While. however, it is now, as it always has
been, essentially Republican, TIE TRIBUNE is
The slave of no party organization. 1t does not
support a rascal because he wears the party
uniform; it does not hesitate to expose ras-
cal in the weak fear that exposure may do mis-
chief TO the Republican cause. II hatters it
self that perfectly frank and rational sup
port is the only kind worth having.
Friends who believe that dignfed honest,
and impartial advocacy of Republican princ
pies is important to Republican success, are
urged to circulate THE TRIBUNE as widely as
they can during the present canvass. I'm
usually favorable terms for the campaign are
offered, as follows:

BY the failure of the agent, in this city, OF

astonishing that the company should have al

The Albany platform begins with howl OF
fraud longer and louder than has been heard
from any other Democratic convention. 1t
ends with hypocritical declaration in favor
of carving on the work of reforming the
administration OF the canals, which the
canal thieves, fresh from the slaughter Of
Governor Tilden's friends, must have voted for
with their tongues in their cheeks and
wicked leer in the corners of their eyes. AS
for the rest of the platform, it contains some
good material, some bad material, and
GOOD deal of the customary fluffy padding.
The resolution on the subject of specie
payments and the public debt has as
sound ring as if it had been made 10y
Republicans. here is a good anti-subsidy
resolution. The commentator OF President
Hayes's Southern policy is gwen grudgingly,
and with not half the heartiness put into the
resolution praising the House of Representa-
tives for its mean partisan attempt to starve
out the army. The good features of the plat
form are borrowed from that Of 1874, the bad
ones are original but the whole thing is OF
no significance as representing the sentiments
of the New-York Democracy. There was not
the slightest interest shown in its construction,
and it was made aud adopted as necessary
piece of job work.
