0SEthing that has hurt the Democratic
party in the elections this fall is the fact
that alter all their talk about reform in
the national expenditures the approprla-
tions Of Congress under their management
have run up instead OF running down.
During the last four years Of Republican
rule the appropriations declined from
1881 0S2,9H per annum to Sl77,870,6S7,
Wills under Democratic rule they have
gone up from $l54 ,39O,94S to Size, ,4O4,6 ,697.
This showing by Secretary Sherman has
llurt the Democracy, and they begin to
feel it. Sherman makes the point that
while his estimates ofexpsnditures as Sec
EetAry Of the Treasury were exceptional
ly small, the Democratic house swsllOd
chem materially when it came to making
the appropriations.
This is taken as bad omen by voters al
to the tendencies Of the Democracy shoulC
they obtain full swing. Since the party
obtained majority in the lower branol
Of the Federal Legislature it has increaset
the sum voted for running the Govern
ment with every new accession to power i
has made. Some papers Of Democrat
sympathies try to reduce the sum votedir
the last year by throwing out the amour
appropriated for arrears OF pensions, SEQ,
$500, as Extraordinary" 1t was ar
extraordinarysum voted to influence votes
and the responsibility for it rests with th'
Democratic pSrty.

Ey.Gov. SEYMOUR delivered an agricul.

Ex.Gov. SEYMOUR delivered an agricul.
,oral address the other day before the
State Society Of New York that is marked
by a good deal OF philosophic grasp Of
Ioaght lie pointed out that the divi-
sion Of our country into broad tracts, each
devoted to some great staple is "exerting
influence not only upon agriculture but
mon the intelligence Of our people
and the permanenceo Of our Union. Great
distances might in time ALLEVIATE, but now
the diyersities of their pursuits keep alive
active commerce aud reciprocal interests"
This system cannot be introduced in Eu.
rope because 1t is broken up into different
natlonallties separated by the jealousies
and wars OF centuries. From this inter.
play Of common interests between the
commerce and the manufacture OF the sea-
boards aud the production Of the great In
terror, Gov. Seymour draws the conclu.
sion that the productive forces OF this
country have only begun to exercise their
dominant influence on the fortunes Of the
civilized world.

ROBINSON was nominated for Governor
ny the New York Democratic State Con
vention yesterday, and Tammany carried
out its threat OF withdrawal, and left the
hall at Syracuse. Everything was done to
placate them except to allow them to nom
inate man OF their own choice for Gov
ern0r, but they wonld not be placated and
withdrew. This step on their part may
assume considerable importance in the
canvass, but at present it is hard to tell
just what significance TO attach to it.
There was a Republican convention at
Syracuse in 1871, out OF which no less a
person than Ex-Governor and Ex-senator
Reuben X. Fenton bolted, but the result
was that the Republican party carried the
State by bigger majority than ever that
year. The result may be different this
time. TammanY is q powerful ma
chine in New York city, and controls sew
eral thousand votes when it goes INTO a
fight, as it did last winter against Mayor
Cooper. The Democracy cannot afford to
lose many votes in the city, for as we
showed yesterday by our published table,
the Republicans cast 3Ol, Jig votes in the
State last year as against 35O, ,45l by the
Democrats and "a, 1888 by the Greenbackers.
