The malice of the st. Louis Globe Demo.
crat is of the kind that knows no mercy
Senator Armstrong, of Missouri, has tried
hard to win good name, and now stands
so well with his party and his people, that
the Democrats of Missouri, think well of
him as a candidate for Governor in 1880
That, at such juncture, the Globe-Demo-
crat should commence praising him, is sim.
ply heartless The Globe Democrat might
have spared the old man the crushing
weight Of its good opinion until after the
next Democratic Stare convention, at all
events. To damn him with It's encomiums
now, is, as we have stated, simply piece
of savagery.

many were the expressions of sympathy
that were heard all over the room for the
virtuous and much abused Hesing But
even tins testimony, that had no direct bear

up as a volunteered falsehood, tor il was
proved by creditablc witnesses that Ilcsing

him the favor of his signature to his par

1t may be that the Chicago papers, from
which we gather the facts we have given,
do not like Hesing, and aim to bring him
into dhsrepute; but, unless majority of the
witnesses brought before the committee
testified falsely Hesing has done more to
tear down his own character than all the
papers of Chicago could do, if rcigiously
devoted to that end, in whole twelve
months.

THE prohibitionists are making an in
dustrious effort to induce the Ohio Legis-
iature to enact a constitutional amendment
prohibiting the manufacture of Intoxicating
liquors, malt as well as spurious. They ex-
pect to lay before the Legislature petition
containing the names of 100000 persons.
1t will be an easy matter to enact the
amendment, and the Legislature will prob
ably do SO; but to secure itsadoption by the
people will prove altogether different
thing. Such proposition would be de-
feated, on popular vote, by a majority of
a hundred thousand. We don't wish to
discourage the temperance laborers; but in
Illinois similar result would follow.
Great civic revolutions are effected at the
end of long continued, earnest and unceas-
ing effort. In neither Ohio or Illinois or
any other Western State has public senti-
ment ripened to such a harvest. Tenn
perance men and women must wait and
work.

The irrepresSibe Nasty declares that he
never wants to see another Democrat elect
ed from State like Wisconsin, because
they are not half baked. But Nasty is not
progressive. HIS party is leaving him in
the lurch, and soon there will be no refuge
or him unless he finds il in the folds of the
party of Greenback ofiicc-seckers. The
great mass of Democrats north of Mason

MAYOR COOPER LAUGHS.

Mayor Cooper was at his Office yesterday for the
first time since the night before election. He is
covering rapidly from the injury to his hand which
he received through accidentally breaking pane of
glass in his carriage window in front OF the Aston
House. On being spoken to regarding the rumors
to his suspension, he laughed such an idea II
must be rccollectcd that Governor Robinson alone
has the power to suspend or remove the Mayor at
present. The rumor was circulated, 1t IL surmised,
ut the City Hall by busy politicians who look for
ward to. or hope for. tho removal OF Mayor Cooper
by Governor Cornell shortly after the LIST Of January
Whether or not the republicans will attempt this
extreme course when they control of the State
Executive Chamber and Legislature next year is
question frequently debated within tho past few
days among prominent politicians.
The story was supposed to have been originally
started by Alderman Morris, but that gentleman
yesterday indignantly denied the charge Political
canards of this character are circulated
after election. Tammanyites seem to be principally
occupied In disseminating these stories.

Colonel Edward Giion thought that an amicable
understanding should be had between democrats,
especially on State issues In this city he was
OF opinion that combination between the Tam
many and anti-Tammany Aldermen should be made
IN order to mako war on the republicans.
"Tammany Hall. however," continued the Colonel.
"mieht not be large enough to accommodate all the
party being divided on local issues SO long it is
united on other matters. II there is room in the
city fortwo organizations why let them exist"
number Of other Tammany men visited by
the reporter, and in almost every instance they
inclined to be very non-committai IN expressing
their views on the subject of securing harmony IN
the party. In this connection 1t may be we'll to
state that the friends OF Mr.. Tilden. or, in other
words. those who oppose Tammany HAL. all declare
differences will be countenanced by them.
This was best put last night to a
HERALD reporter by one Of the shrewdest anti.
Tammanyites. He said There will be no union
OF democratic forces in the State long the most
conspicuous person in Tammany Hall rules that
body. On no condition will he be allowed to have
any voice in the National Convention 1t is our in
tention to keep him where he is-an ally Of the re-
publicans and outside the democratic party. His
influence will be allowed to exercise itself in
the party councils, because he will not be given any
privileges than given by to republicans.
Whatever no gets after this he must obtain from the
latter"
Other prominent leaders Endorsed these senti-
ments. but would not allow their names to be men-
toned.
