FORcE ~ FRAUD ~ SYRACrSE.

John Kelly maintained himself at Syracuse.
This was as 1t should be. If New-YOrk must
be governed by its overwhelming Democratic
majority, we are glad that the reins fall into
honest hands; and John Kelly is the most
honest and able man who has ruled the Demo
cratic organization here for more than half u
generation.
Governor Tilden also maintained himself at
Syracuse. He had one half the COnven-
ton made up of devoted personal ad-
herents; he Is thought TO have
secured the State Committee and he certainly
secured the platform. 1t earnestly in
dorses the Governors Governor, in spite
of Tammany hostility. 1t refuses the
truck and dicker with Greenbackers
which Tammany was suspected Of favor
ing. Above all, it plants the party
squarely on the cornerstone of Fraud,
adopts Governor Tilden as its martyr, and
makes the " conspiracy Of force and fraud "
about the Presidential election absolutely the
only new feature of National politics worth
mentioning. Most heartily we thank Governor
lilden and the Convention for invitingattention
TO that conspiracy of force and fraud. We beg
them to concentrate upon 1t their en-
tire attention throughout this campaign.
We earnestly invite them to get light
thrown upon 1t from every quarter. And we
think we can promise them little help yet

1t is great pity that the Tammany delegates at
Syracuse refused TO hear the able and interesting re-
marks which Mr.. Smith NJ. Weed addressed TO them
on Wednesday. They would have listened if they
had known what he was saying-listened with erect
ears For the public has been waiting to hear from
Mr.. Smith NJ. Weed with great anxiety /;
and knowing how important the pure
and holy cause of reform looks to that
gentleman just now, presume that he only
wanted the floor in order TO explain certain inci-
dents Of the reform campaign of 1876. in which he
participated. Nobody knows--perhaps nobody ever
will know-pTecisely what Mr.. Smith M Weed
said in the bear garden on Wednesday
but we can hardly be wrong in supposing
that w!Iile the Tammany delegates were howling at
him and Chairman LanIng was pretending not TO
see HIM he was reading and explaining some OF the
cipher kilograms which he sent from Columbia to
New-York in November 1876. or some of those
which he subsequently sent from New-York TO
Pope" in Columbia. For instance. we think 1t
highly probable that he produced and translated
the following messages:
COLUMBIA s. C.. Nov. I3. 1875

1t is a dreadful pity that Mr. Weed was choked off
just he going to explain the meaning of "Co-
penhagen."
The Republicans this year are certainly setting
their Democratic and other opponents a good ex-
ample IN tho dignihed and orderly character of
their conventions. They have met, transacted
their business, and made their nominations with
out riot row OF rumpus while the Democrats have
allowed their meetings at times to drift into
anarchy, have disgraoefuly shaken their fists at
each other, have split into factions, and dem
oustrated that they could not dwell to-
gether in unity. The Greenbaekcrs, too do

of Mukhtar Pacha was soon followed by the
fall of that great stronghold. Like demorall-
zat1on accounts for the haste of the Mahom-
etans in Bosnia TO offer their towns to the
Austrian conquerors. With SerajeyO and
Zwornik in the invaders hands, the Mussul-
man sees that his doom is sealed.
The account of the robbery of the books of
Mr.. Tilden's mine in Marquette was so fan
tastic as to be scarcely credible, especially as
it was received on the eve of the Syracuse
Convention, where it might serve some
purpose as political trick. Ihese
books had been put in evidence IN
the famous income tax suit, and two men
had seized and carried off. one guarding the
stairway while the other drove away IN q
carriage. 1t now appears that the tub stands
on its own bottom. Thomas Harland, Mr..
Tilden's counsel, has been arrested in Detroit
by authority of the Assistant District-Attor-
ney of New-York. If these mining books
were not safe in the Commissioners Office
we may have to take some precautions III
relation to our barrel of cipher dispatches!
"The " Aliens haIr-trigger has not gone oil
for naught. His return to political life at the
headquarters of the National organization was
a triumph, as such things GO There were
resolutions of coincidence in relation to the
unforeseen catastrophe which appropriated
so much trouble on him." and the news
papers were berated for their thoughtless
utterances and, moreover, Shupe patron
lied him and gave hm an excellent
character. After he had been completely re-
habilitated in reputation, he assured them
that the suffering he had undergone was
slicht compared to the thought that had fol-
lowed him In his afliction that the great
with which he was identified would
not 60 on. After this pathetic bit of autobi-
Ography, the onslaught on the thieving bond
holders and the lickspittle capitalists was re-
sumed.

The radical amendments which are being
made in committee, in the German Socialist
bill, would warrant the display OF a donger
signal in the Reichstag. Prince Bismarck,
being desperately in earnest, will not be
likely to regard TRANQUILITY the liberal inrOads

limit its operation to less than three years is
judiciOus, but it will probably be very Obnox-

Now that the Syracuse mob has dispersed,
phenomenal rOwdy like Cohen can project
himself into the politics of the time. He has
had the effrOntery to march to the White

not turn him out of doors, but remarked that
he would think about it. The President is
altogether too good natured.
