New York Democracy.

New York Democracy.
The Syracuse Democratic State
convention, which was in session for
two days, have succeeded in putting
double head on the party in that
State. The Tammany delegation
went up to the convention with the
threat that if Governor Robinson
was renominated they would bolt
and place another ticket in the field.
He was nominated, and Tammany
was as good as its word. The blame
attaches TO the Tammanyites, when
we come to look at their action; but
there is a prior history to this matter
which must be considered. There
was split in the Democracy Of New
York at the last mayors election,
and the Robinson wing Of the party
joined forces with the Republicans,
and to-day the Republicans in Office
are the outcome Of this combination,
and the papers which supported
Cooper for mayor are today denounc-
ing him. taa
Mr.. Robinson has been renomina.
ted by the anti-Tammanyites, while
the New York and Kings county del.
egations withdrew and nominated
John Kelly for Governor, who has
accepted. The latter represents TO-
900 voters in New York and 10000
in Kings. These two have always
given the majority in State elections,
there being but one or two instances
in the past generation where the
State has gone Democratic outside Of
the city. Gov. Robinson owed it as
a duty to the Democratic party to
decline the nomination when he
saw how strong the opposition was
to him. He has no more right to
sacrifice the party than John Kelly,
and they are both in the same de-
structiye boat. As between the two
men the Democracy Of the country
have no interest whatever, and if
they were both politically dead there
would not be a partisan tear shed
outside Of New York.
No man has a right to ride the
Democratic party, and no man has a
right to force himself on the party
when he knows it insurcs defeat
The fact that Mr.. Kelly accepts the
nomination of the Tammanyites does
not make Gov. Robinson's course
right. They are both wrong, and
the Democracy of New York is to
blame for allowing personal matters
to enter their convention and destroy
the party, especially on the eve of a
Presidential campaign, when the
Democracy of the whole country are
deeply concerned. If the two tick
els remain in the field, many Demo
Gratis will not go to the polls, because
defeat stares them in the face, and it
is safe to predict that Gov. Robinson
will be defeated 100000 votes, if
matters remain as they now are. Is
it not better that Kelly aud Robin
son should be destroyed than the
party should be ruined? We think
so. n

[From the Courier OF Saturday.
Kanawha County's criminal rec
ord presents another blackened page.
Information of the commission Of a
double tragedy at Paint Creek, in
this county, between the hours Of I
and 9 o'clock p. m. yesterday, reach
ed us at an early hour this morning,
Bob Moore, a white man, and
John Thompson, colored, together
visited a saloon at the point above
named, remaining for some time,
freely,inddlging in the use Of q mix.
ture Of Intoxicating beverages, until
their influence supplanted reason,
and, as is usual with persons Of gross
ly Incorporate habits, war Of words
ensued. Nothing however, of a pu-
.gilistic character occurred in the sa-
loon, batleaying the building togeth,
er the two had proceeded but a short
distance therefrom, when personal
renoontre took place, in which the
negro, Thompson, drew from his
pocket a large knife and buried its
blade fun length in the throat Of
Moore, producing instant death.
Thompson Immediately fled from
the seen of his crime, and sought ref.
uge or concealment under the guards
of a small boat closely moored to the
bank Of the Kanawha, opposite Paint
Creek. M
News of the killing of Moore reach
ed the citizens Of the neighborhood,
a posse, numbering possibly zone hun.
bred and fifty persons collected to,
gether and went in search of the of
fender. Soon his place Of conceal
ment was discovered and he was
taken forth and conducted to point
within sight of the spot where he
had so recently taken the life of a
human being, and there hewas made
to pay the penalty of his crime by
hanging until he was dead.
Sheriff Roster, to whom informa-
ton of the disturbance was commu-
nicated, went up on the late train
last night, and essaved topreventan
outbreak, in which he succeeded
without any difficulty. He returned
to the city early this morning, with.
out however, obtaining the names Of
the lynchers. ~

ties, feed the pigs, milk the cows, and
be a lady ali the same time, is the
girl that sensible young men are in

ton mortgaged, music numbering and
novel-devouring daughters of fashion
and idlencss, are no more fit for
matrimony than pallet to look after

truth is, my dear girls, you want less
of restraint and more liberty of ac-
ton; more kitchen and less parlor;
more exercise and less sofa; more pud-
ding and less piano; more frankncss
and less mock modes,y. Loosen your
corsets and breathe the pure Amos
pherc, and become something as good
and beautiful as nature designed.
