Editorial Notes.


These FRI quent reports that Mr. Til
den clutches the spigot of his bar'l
with penurious grip are calculated to
injure the prospects Of the Reform can
didatc. They should be promptly con-
tradicted.
The suggestion OF Mr.. Waiterson for
the second place on the Tilden ticket Is
happy thought. He would tend to
even up the temperature OF the ticket.
II would be an interesting scientific
problem, however, whether the clammy
Samuel would chill the fry Henry, or
or the fiery Henry would thaw out the
clsmmy Samuel.

took three columns of fine print to tell
why he removed Commissioner Smith,

why it does not like the Governor.

IT grows probable, since G werner
Seymour cannet be induced, on any
terms, to accept sffice, that the war
ring politicians will be forced to aban
don their favorites and accept Chief
Justice Sanford T. Church as the next
Governor of New York. But Church
is not by any means a run mad Tilder
man. He has no weakness for the
bari, and Tilden doesn't love him.
Church, except Seymour, is the ablesI
and purest man in the State. The
eyes of many Democratic politicians
still turn fondly toward that bari.

= In the general overhauling of the records of
candidates In Ohio, Gen. Ewing finds 1t expe-
dent to rise and explain why he left the repub-
ncan party. IL has been charged that In his
political change from the republican to the
democratic party he was actuated by the per-
sonal and selfish consideration of running for
Congress In Ohio In the district now represented
by him. He Is able to show, however, that
when he left the republican party he was
citizen OF Kansas, a republican state, and con-
tinued there for more than three years after,
having In the meantime, In 1868, supported Mr..
Seymour for the presidency. He resurrects a
letter written by him In 1867, published at the
time In the National Intelligencer, giving the
reasons why he could not support Gen. Grant
and the republican party, because he could not
support any party or candidate that endorsed
the unconstitutional reconstruction meas
ures." 1t Is barely possible that the republca-
fion Of this letter, which Is very severe In
denunciation OF the reconstruction measures,
win afford his republican adversaries new
material for attack. 1t is apparent, at any
rate, that the campaign In Ohio Will not be
confined to the financial issue.

There never was the slightest chance for
General Butler being elected Governor OF Mas
Sachusetts, and the probability is that he
wouldn't make very good officer If he could
be Installed In the state house. but there Is
hardly any room for doubt that the mere fact
of his running for the place has been of great
advantage to the people OF that commonwealth.
His arrangement Of abuses In the administra-
ton Of state affairs was so sharp and based on
such apparently good grounds that the republi-
cans were forced to take notice OF the fact, and
also to make some promises of reform In their
platform. These promises seem to have been
kept, In part, at least. Whether their fulfil
ment has been due to Inherent goodness which
only waited proper opportunity for develop
ment into works or was inspired by desire for
future political successes may never be known,
but 1t appears certain that the people OF the
state have been pretty substantially benefited
In consequence, by a better administration In
the affairs OF both the commonwealth and
many OF her municipalities. Whether he
''builded wiser than he knew or not, the Essex
Statesman would seem to be entitled to the
thanks OF his fellow citizens all the same.
