Boston Post (Dem.): Gold grows weaker
as the work of the Massachusetts, Demo-
cratic Convention becomes known.
New York Tribune (Rep.): Genuine
Democracy can always be known by the
robust style in which it conducts conven-
ton.
Albany Journal (Rep.): The old dairy
man who asked the Greenbacker if he
could get any more cheese from his milk by
watering it is sill waiting for an answer.
Boston Traveller (Rep.): The problem
for the respectable Democrats of this State
to consider is, whether they will promote
the success of General Butler by keeping
the Abbott ticket in the field. That will
be the outcome of it, if outcome it has
The Democrats must be responsible for the
result.
New York Sun Dem.): Even should the
Washington mob break up John Shermans
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, it would
be no more fiagrant violation of law than
the exis ence of the Bureau has always
been. John Sherman's own investigating
committee long ago pointed out to him that
vast sums were there expended withoutany
show of authority.
Pittsburg Telegraph Ind.): The grind
ing monopolies that have so long oppressed
the oil producers and outside refners and
purchasers are not feeling particularly ju-
bilant just now. The remark of Speaker
Randall and the avowed determination of
men of all parties and without regard to
nplitinc tn thn ,on,>la'c pin
tanned against the encroachments of corpor.
ations bodies no good for the oppressor but
much for the oppressed.
New York Times (Rep.): The tendency
of the Republican party is well defined to-
wards sound finance If it is successful in
the elections of the next two years it will
not only defeat the mischievous projects
for irredeemable paper with which the op-
posite party threatens the country, but it
may be confidently expected to provide
more, and more effective, means TO give us
currency which will serve the business of
the country wherever it may go, at home
or abroad.
Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep.): Last winter
there were those who intimated that Blaine
was not popular in Massachusetts,, and
would not be. But the Boston Traveller
says the reception of Senator Blaine in that
city and his speech at Faneuil Hall mark
an era in Massachusetts politics most auspi-
cious for the Republican party of the State.
Mr.. Blaine was most enthusiastically re-
ceived, and his speech produced the best
possible feeling,
Chicago News Ind): What must be the
effect upon the public mind and conscience
produced by the exposures just made re-
specting two leading men of this interest?
One of them, Tilden, is accused of procur-
ing, by his agents, who have been held to
bail, the larceny Of certain account-books.
In the case of the other, Vanderbilt, it is
sworn to in Court that he bribed brace of
corrupt and dishonest spiritualists to in
fuence his father to make a will at the
supposed instigation of his dead wife, disin-
heriting all his other children. "Can such
things be and overcome us like a summer
cloud without our special wonder"
New York Star (Dem.) If, therefore, the
Anti-Tammany men would show they are
Democrats and reformers they will unite
with the regular organized Democracy in a
vigorous campaign to secure Democratic
majority in the next Assembly Let them
do as the Tammany organization did with
regard to Mr.. Tilden in the last Presidential
contest. That organization opposed his
nomination at the st. Louis Convention,
but when it was beaten and Mr. Tilden was
nominated, every Tammany man went to
work with zeal to elect him. 1t was in
fact, the unprecedented and magnificent
campaign carried on by Tammany that Sc
cured majority in this State for Mr.. Til
den.
Albany Times (Dem.): 1t may be an item
of interest to our readers to know the rela-
tive strength of the Tammany organization
and its Democratic opponents in New York
City, in view of the recent contest for su-
premacy in the Syracuse Convention The
following figures are culled from the Argus
almanac OF the current year: At the cleo
ton OF last year the Anti-Tammanyites the
Ottendorfer Democrats, the Labor Reform
ers and the Republicans in each and every
Senatorial district united on candidates in
opposition to Tammany candidates, with
the following results: The Tammany Or
ganization polled 60, 769 votes; the total op-
position above named poled 55,565 votes;
but Mr.. Churchill, the Republican candi-
date for Secretary of State, polled at the
same time in the same districts, 46, 965, and
it is to be presumed these voted for the Goa
lition candidates in opposition to Tam
many. This presumption leaves the Anti
Tammany strength at 5000 votes Com
ment is unnecessary.
Burglars in London have had good year.
