TIE TAMNARY TICKET.

Mr.. John Kelly's nominating convention has
placed in the field a ticket Of which the
average citizen will say, "Wen, it might
"have been worse but-Gus Schel |" The
venerable Sachem who has been proposed as
a candidate for Mayor has abilities which he
may possibly make as useful to his fellow
citizens In the MayOralty-if he gets it-as he
has made them to himself in business he
has an honest name and he haD amiable per-
sOnal qualities of which there is prevailing
tendency to speak with some levity. There
is nothing to be said against him except
that he is a Democrat, which is, perhaps, a
congenital def0Tmity, and that he lacks in
dependence, which was probably Mr.. Kelys
strongest reason for selecting him. lie is not
so good man as Smith Ely, jr., because Mr..
Ely has sometimes refused to carry out the
wishes of Tammany Hall, and that Mr. Schell
would certainly never do but if machine
politician of the conventional Tammany type
must be nominated we do not see how we
can quarrel with the choice of Mr.. Schell Mr..
Frederick Smyth, the nominee for the District
AttOrneyshp, is highly respectable gentle
man but Judge Bedford is so weak candi-
date that we cannot help suspectng that Mr..
Kelly. in a moment of citation over the fall of
Governor Tilden, has been betrayed into the
blunder of overestimating his own power
After all. Mr.. John Kelly is only man ;

his absolute dictatiOn they will ask few
plain questions. In particular, they desire TO
know from MIR. Schell whether he will dis
tinctly pledge himself to preserve the non-
partisan character of the Police Board. we
are not likely to have any large measure
of reform from Tammany Halli but at least
we do not mean to go backward. The people
are in no humor to submit to the monstrous
evils of the old system of a party police, and
whenever tho issue is squarely joined on
that question they viii speak in tones not
to be misunderstood. Other departments OF
the City Government tney have patiently
suffered to be abused for the advantage OF n
faction; they will draw the line at the ponce.
Last yeat Mr.. Schell was made the leader OF
the Kelly Democrats in Il teSt-struggl WIN
nd-Tammany, and was roundly beaten
This year it is quite possible that he may be
equally unfortunate if Mr.. Kelly offers too
bold defiance to respectable public opinion

not been added by long striving after that

wickedness of ones own party and nothing oil

is bribery, whatever its pretext OF OBJ

SCoTCH BANKING and THE LATE EAILURE


The shock of great financial disaster de-
ponds quite as much for its severity upon the
class of people who have to bear the imme-
date loss as upon its magnitude or the pOpu-
lar esteem In which the shipwrecked institu-
ton has been held. 1t has long been the
boast Of Scotch bankers that neither their
customers nor their creditors have ever di-
rectly lost penny through their misfortune
OF mismanagement. Even the enormous La
bihCies of the Western Bank of Glasgow
whose failure in 1857 precipitated the panic
of that year, were ultimately paid in full by
assessments on the stockholders, ard the own
ers of shares in the City of Glasgow Bank.
rotten as that institution turns out to be, will
be the greatest if not the only direct sufferers
from the criminal mismanagement of its Off
Gers. Whether the thirteen hundred stock
holders will be able to pay assessments
equal to five times the par value of their
stock and amounting in the aggregate To
nearly twenty-six millions of dollars. or
will he driven into bankruptcy by the score.
bringing on one of those great financial crises
that occasionally convulse Europe and try the
strength of even the strongest houses, remains
to be seen. The universal depression of the
last five years, with the general wiping out of
old debts and the contraction of credits, has
undoubtedly left the business world in better
condition to meet a shock of this character
and magnitude than 1t would be in time of
wild speculation and apparent prosperity.
Although by the organization of the Scotch
system the creditors of a bank are pretty we'll
insured against loss, there Is no country in

Will He Think 4?

Has President HAYES since his Inaugural
tiOn given one hours serious reflection to
thSnecessities of the country North, South,
Fast, and West? Has he advised legisla-
tion that would benefit the entire nation or
has he been so wrapped up III Southern
troubles that that section has alone received
his attention. We opine the latter. and we
regret it-regrct it for his own sake. He
has given too much consideration to The
violatOrs Of law-the illicit distillers of the
South. He has sympathiaed with the
Southern people in their struggles for State
rights. C., drprving the colored man of
his ballot. He has grossly violated the
civil service principles incorporated into the
platform of the Republican party at the last
Presidential campaign, though this has been
done all over the country. lie has con-
dOned oficnscs of Southern depcradocs
contrary to the advice of his Attorney
General. And much more has he done with
a view to paclication! And what has come
Oft? The Illicit Installations are continued
on a larger scale than ever. The United
States officers are shot down, hunted like
wild beasts, and ostraciscd the society of
the good = citizens. But with these "tri-
fling" exceptions, the South il ouiet and
the negro is once more under the eve of his
master; and certain Democrats wish 10 i'm
pugn Mr.. HAYES title TO the Presidency ;
and this is what has resulted from his paci-
fcation policy. Tho loyal North il suffer.

required gold any moro than silver, " but
because that was the understanding of the
bargain ut the time" This is the confession
Of the Tribune editorially in the article on
The Government Railroad Bargains" in its
issue Of Thursday, March 81 So for the
Tribune. Now comes the puissant Secretary
Of the Treasury into court and thus de-
poseth before the Senate Committee on
Finance last Tuesday: al shall have
to confess that have been mistaken my
self" True, Mr.. Secretary, and right man
fully averred. "No doubt there is differ
ence of opinion between the West and the
South and the East on this subject, but the
desire for the reconciliation of silver was
almost universal. In q government like
ours 1t is always good TO obey the popular
current and that has been done, think, by
the passage of the silver bill. Resumption
can be obtained more easily upon double
standard than upon single standard"
Recollection of these memorable testi-
monies may be valuable to sustain timid
and nervous readers hereafter when the
Tribune and the Secretary shall again rival
JEREMIAH in depicting evils that will follow
if other common-scnse measures in finance
are urged by practical statesmen. Much
yet remains TO be done. 1t is soothing tC
learn that the steps taken have not proved
80 disastrous as these prophets predicted.

GENERAL NC. BUTLER was admitted to a
seat in the Senate on primd facin evidence oil
his title thereto, Consequently the Senate has
never decided upon the validity OF his claim
to the seat rs they did in Senator KEEL
LoGG's case, for example, in which the
Privileges aud Elections Committee re.
ported, and the Senate sustained the report
that KELLOGG had been legally and duly
elected 1t is therefore apparent that REr.-
LoGGs seat is held by him us the result OF
complete or final investigation, while But
LER's tenure remains yet to be decided
The consequence is that Senator KELLOGG
like Senator THURMAN and other Older
Senators, can only be unseated by O
two-thirds vote, while BUTLER can be
ousted by bare majority, because
he holds his place simply on sui.
lcrance, pending investigation into his
right and title to it. There are numerous
presidents for this view of the case in the
practice of the House, and we believe it wa'
fully sustained by the action of the Senate
incident to the admission of Senator

mitteo on Mr. CoRBINS claims will b,

Is KeelY N Eraud2

The KELLY motor has been lost sight Of
with the public for some time, but now 1t
emerges into notice again. 1t appears that
the directors Of the KELLY motor had he
come inCredulous in regard to the genuine
ness of the invention and good deal de-
morulizcd in regard TO pushing the affair to
complete and satisfactory experimCnt-so
much so that all but one of the directors
determined to cut of supplies and thus de-
feat his enterprise. A correspondent of the
New York World furnishes the following in
formation relating TO the affair:
Mr.. KEELY, however did not stop work on
the improvements he was making in his ma
chine, hut kept his men three machinists, il
| remember aright-hnrd at it, and, as he had
no bank account to draw on, pledged one dia.
mond after another, and finally his watch and
chain, to obtain the money needed to- go on. Be-
fore he had made way entirely with hisjeTclry,
which he formerly wore in conspicuous pro.
fusion, y, had completed now machine which
worked almost to peril ction. The time had
| then como for him to SEQ what the directors of
the company would do, and they were invited
TO an exhibition Of the new machine. Several
| Of them went TO see II, and one of them-the
proprietor of largo machine shop in New
York, where the new machine was almost en-
| tirely built and with which this gentleman,
himself practical and oxcellently informed
marhinist, was thoroughly acquainted-was
tlcitly selected to find out how the whole de-
vice was fraud, for that 1t was such there was
not the slightest doubt in tho minds Of these
incrcdulOus directors, who were grown as
cautious as children seven times burned. This
gentleman had carefully studied the plaus of
the machine and had determined in his own
mind exactly where Mr. KELLY stored the
power he protested to generate by the vibra.
| tory action of air upon a confined body OF
water. He therefore carefully examined
these chpmbers, and, finding that they were
entirely empty, said to his companions ave
will have no exhibition to-day" Such did not
prove to be the case, however, for the detached
parts of the machine were put together, and at
once II worked to perfection, producing ex-
actly the results in each case that Mr.. KELLY
said would be produced. The reaction in the
minds of the directors was not immediate, but
after while this exhibition had its effect, and
it was decided to furnish, as formerly, what
money was needed by the now worry poor in.
ventor As Professor MARKS of the Pcnnsyl.
vanis University, and other competent por.
sous are shortly to make an investigation OF
the matter, it is possible that the question may
be settled very soon.

Democratic View OF the Case.

Our sedate Democratic Sunday co,em-
porary, the Herdld, has entered upon its
thirteenth year, and now fortfcs its future
with numerous promises of Improvement,
and we hope its enterprise may continue in
the road Of prosperity. Politically it is
intensely Democratic, and pledges itself to
be more than ever strenuous in its insist
encc on Democratic principles in national
politics, for the reason that each passing
year adds to the paramount necessity for
dcposing the Radical party from the trusts
it has steadily abused This is all we'll
but the same number holds up the mirror
to Democratic House in u way that does
not reflect the prospect of much hope from
the Democratic party when it gets power,
except contemplate scramble for the
spols of Office. 1t says:
The truth is that thirst for patronage has
been the bane Of the Forty. fifth Congress.
More attention is given by member, to get.
ting their "quOtum" of patronage as some of
the members call it, than to any other bust
ness, and State delegations, which cannot be
assembled together for any serious purpose of
public business, gathered together night after
night last fall TO discuss the question of whose
'bummCr" should get place from the clerk
whose striker u situation in the post office
aud whose hcnChman snug berth in the
Doorkcepcrs paradise.
This is fair Inning and, as an honest
confession is good Tor the SOUL the Hcrdid
ought to prosper. 1t is what everybody
else understands, that the highest ambition
of the Democratic party is to receive tn,
plumber OF position.
