It's clearly the policy Of Tammany Hall TO have

Nobody has yet interpreted the political igDf-
canoe of Governor Morgan's hearty Endorsement Of
tbs Administration, as sent last week through his
special friend ex-Collector Arthur to the Saratoga
Conference. If General Arthur understood II, ne

Senator Butler, of South Carolina remarked re-

the South would support them just from force OF

upon the country just before the October elections

have good time dong it, especially as all the am
munition they have is a sherman letter, when
Sherman declares TO be forgery.
Speaker Randall will enter the Pennsylvania can
yass at Oil City on Monday, when some Of the
finest displays Of straddling ever seen on any polit
cal stage may be expected. The occasion will be
especially favorable for the best exercise OF his gifts
The canvass is well underway and yet the Demo-
cratic managers are undecided as to whether they
would better surrender entirely to the Nationals on
the financial question OF not. Mr. Randall can show
them how to manage little difficulty IKE that or
else his long experience as two-slder mas Deen IN
vain.
Senator Thurman is contemplating prospecting
tour of the South in October. He will go to attend
the Georgia State Fair, and will, of course, be pre-
pared TO receive " spontaneous demonstrations Of
the popular regard" all along the route. This is
direct trespass upon the Hendricks patent for work.
ing up Presidential support. The Indiana statesman
has always displayed his noble gifts as a band
shaker in the South just before the opening OF
Presidential campaign, and be has a right TO
off with such indecent haste. They might journey
together and give competitive exhibitions.
Senator Blaines denial of the genuineness OF the
two purpOrted interviews with himself is not en-
tirely unexpected. The Chicago conversation, as
TIE TRIBUNE suggested at the time, bore internal
evidence of its falsity, for it IN that peculiar
jargon which exists nowhere outside the columns
of The Chicago Times and it credited him with
language which no man except an accomplished
backguard would be capable OF using. Consider
ing the provOcatiOn Mr.. Blaines denial is suTDTis-
ingy calm 1t is difficult to condemn too strongly an
outrage of this kind. 1t is an elaborate and
deliberate variety of forgery, as disgraceful 10
journalism as 1t Is annoying to the victim.
Mr.. NJ. S. Quay, chairma of the Republican State
Committee of Pennsylvania, has issued an address
which puts the party squarely on honest money as
the great issue of the campaign. He says: " To
nav the National debt with iredeemable promises
10 pay is reputation. The masses of the people OF
Pennsylvania are honest, and cannot sanction re-
pudiatlon in any FORM" That is the great principle
involved in the contest which the Greenback agi-
tators have forced, and it is put IN way 50 simple
that everyone can understand IL. III does not seem
possible that the voters of Pennsylvania Will DO
willing TO say on election day " The Republican
leaders are wrong. The masses OF the people OF
pennsylyania are not honest" That Is what they
will say if they suffer the Republican cause to be
defeated
1t looks as If the Republicans were likely to gain
a Congressman in Pennsylvania in a district which
was considered to be hOpelessly Democratic. The
long and mulish balloting Of the Democrats in the
XXIst District has ended at last III the nomination
of the worst candidate in the lot corrupt bargain
is charged and bolt is threatened. Morgan X.
Wise, the nominee, is spoken OF by so strong
Democratic sympathizer as The PhtIddetphn Itmes'
as cheap John sort of rooster whose nominal
ton is an insult to intelligent district and
confession of "sef-prosttution on the part of the
convention, and whose candidacy must inevitably
cause pretty general revolt among decent Demo;
crats.p There is talk Of running one OF the rlyal
candidates as an Independent, which would divide
the Democratic vote and help the Republicans. The
Republican candidate, Colonel A. Fuller Is good
man and thorough Republican. His friends are
claiming that he will be elected, and they seem to
have excellent grounds for their faith
