text books in any study may always be
made and there will always be room for
them, but there is an advantage in adher-
ing to the method of a grammar that has
been in long use. Nearly all the difference
in recent grammars from the older ones is
that they are made more abstract and the
precise need is that change should be in the
other direction if there is to be any change.
Some pretended grammarian gets new
fancy of the relations of words, reshapes
the grammar on his theory and presents his
labors to mankind as a new discovery. II
u man has called the ancient, honest pro-
noun a pronominnl adjective and added
half the short words in the dictionary to the
list of conjunctions he imagines he has
done wonders. but it seems scarcely worth
while to revolutionize instruction in the
public schools for no better reason than to
reward such superfuous labors.

The position of Tammany Hall as demo-
cratic organization is just now SO critical
that it really lies at the mercy of the repub-
licans, and it is an interesting and impor-
tant question what the republican attitude
toward Tammany will be. Tammany has
lost the Sheriff, County Clerk and all three
coroners. It will lose the Comptrollership
next year. In the Board of Aldermen the
Tammany men can do nothing without re-
publican help.
The future of Tammany depends, there
fore, on what the republicans may do. If
they do not choose to make friendly al
lance with it, but on the contrary oppose
it, they can crush it. They will be tenn pied,
we suppose, to coddle and maintain it as
means of weakening the democratic party;
and if the anti-Tammany leaders should
attempt to get control of the Tammany or
ganization to use it for their own pur-
poses it would be the natural policy of
the republicans to defend its present pos
SCISSORS. But the anti-Tammany men pro-
fess no such purpose; they say that Tam
many ought to be destroyed as political
organ ization; that it is an injury to the
party in the State, under any circum-
stan ces; that it is odious to the ebay lott
and cheese press" the country democrats;
and that the time for 'bosses" has gone by.
If the anti-Tammany leaders are in
earnest in this Iammany's days as o
political force of any importance in the
State or the country are numbered, for it
is scarcely probable that the republicans
will venture, in the face of respectable
public opinion, to make themselves the
allies of Tammany and thus save it from
| extinction.

1t Is going to be good time for moderate
and sensible counsels on the democratic
side, and we trust, for the country's sake
as well as for that of the democrats them

tives who last spring and summer united
good sense and timidity in about equal
proportions will this winter take the leader
ship OF their party, as they ought to have
done last winter There is good deal of
sterling good sense on the demo-
cratic side in Congress but it has
hitherto sat in the corners of the
Capitol sucking its thumbs, while
men like Thurman, Voorhees,, Beck,
Randall, Blackburn and Mcmahon ruled
the roast. These people have now had their
turn, with the result of leaving their party
hardly leg to stand on. Ano, her Potter
Committee or another extra session, if
either were possible. would finish the
party and let the republicans have it all
their own way. What the democratic party
now needs is rush of brains to the
head. Meantime the jubilant republicans
are going to Washington as to q new bear
batting or badger drawing.

An effort was made in the Board of Edu-
cation on Wednesday to exclude English
grammar from the list of books in use in the
dition of five or six more grammars to the
number of those now actually in use, APP
parently that was not precisely what the
originators OF this movement aimed at, but
it was not so far from it as might be thought
upon a superficial view Of the fucts. An
onslaught was made on one grammar
especially to get it excluded from the
schools, and the reason for that was that it
is the grammar most used, therefore most
bought and sold, and the purposed step
beyond that was to substitute some one OF
the other grammars now added to tho list in
order that the makers Of this favored gram
mar might become the recipients Of SO
much patronage. Although the first gram
mar was not put out the others we're
all put in, and 80 it becomes a scramble
in jobbory. Some good words were
said in the Board on the subject
of the study of grammar in the ordinary
way. President Wood said :--"Tsachers
IN tne bcnooib wiz Huu boch osuuyAuB
Browns grammar all their lives were now
in the habit of speaking ungrammatically,
and were addicted to the use Of vulgar
isms." But that is an account of the
teachers, not an account OF the grammar.
Substitute any othor name for that Of
Brown and the fact would be tho same.
Besides, how docs Mr.. Wood know that the
teachers in our public schools have been
ying grammar oil their lives?" If the
statement is true in any degree whatever
we do not believe 1t is true of more than
two or three per cent of the teachers. But
ifit is more generally true; If any consid-
era le number Of the teachers are possessed
OF minds upon which instruction has no
effect, or has not the Legitimate effect,
then that Is nm unanswerable reason for
making the most sweeping changes Of
teachers, but IL is not reason for
giving up one single book OF the
whole number used. Improvements in

The consolation some of Mr.. Tildens too
devoted followers are administering in his
affections arising from the New York elec-
ton is very miserable stuff Governor Rob-
inson's defeat, they pretend. is quite as dis
astrous to the chances of winning the elec-

Congress reassembles three weeks from
next Monday, and the authors Of the extra
session will then be able to learn what the
opinion Of the moderate men is of their
wisdom. The country has already very
positively expressed itself ON the subject,
and it is probable that, in view OF the result
of the fall elections, some eminent demo-
Gratis in both houses will find it prudent to
s.roost lower" to use o backwoods phrase.

in the Presidential canvass. II the
vote for Governor can be regarded
as a criterion of the strength of par
ties in this State the democrats
are in a clear majority if they can be
reunited. Even if the vote for minor State
Offices be taken as test, the chances of the
republican party for carrying the State
next year must be regarded as extremely
doubtful. No republican of cool judgm ent
can regard this as very promising out
look. The republican victories in other
States will not save the party if it loses New
York, because New York and. Indiana are
the only two Northern States which the
democrats need to carry next year to enable
them to elect their candidate for the Presi-
dency.
The great question for the democratic
party in its National Convention next
spring will be, What candidate has the best
chance of carrying New York; Indiana is
SO strongly democratic as to be pretty safe,
and New York is doubtful enough to stimu-
late the hopes and excite the fears of
the party throughout the country. As
its last chance is staked on the
possibility of carrying this State it
will be compelled to select its candidate
and frame its platform with reference to
the public opinion of New York. If it can
carry New York next year it will have more
than an even chance Of electing the Presi-
dent. So convinced is the Commercial Ad-
vetiser of this that it feels no security ex-
cept in the nomination Of General Grant.

MIR. Sherman Declines.

Secretary Sherman's letter refusing to be
o candidate for the United States Senate
does him credit. 1t is very we'll known
that he desires and hopes to be the republi-
can Presidential candidate next year in
fact. he some time ago honestly and frankly
made public announcement of his hopes
in this direction, while some other republi-
can aspir"nts are playing shy and pre-
tending that they would rather see General
Grant nominated, though they arc all the
while laboring might and main to secure
the honor tor themselves. Mr.. Sherman,
some months ago, quietly but decisively
caused it to be known that he is Gin the
feld," as it is called. His letter declining
to be made Senator will be rightly re-
garded as emphasizing this announcement,
and we give praise to Mr.. Sherman for his
frankness in matter where several emi-
nent and ambitious. but tinid, republicans
choose to be ridiculously mealy mouthed.
The Secretary secs, probably, as every
clear headed man sees, that his position in
this mater gives him decided and proper
advantages over those candidates who
affect silly desire to give WAY to the pres
sure Of the ''Grant movem ent" crowd. "A
large and respectable part of the republi-
can party is opposed to the Grant move
ment, and would probably bolt the ticket
next year if it should be made up by the
Gnnt movement people. Mr.. Sherman
doubtless sees that by his open candidacy
he does an important service to his party
by giving the opponents of the Grant
movement man to rally around, while at
the same time he forwards his own hopes
by becoming the centre of the anti-Grant
movement element in his party.
To judge from the private talk of emil
nent republicans there is something about
this Grant movement which terrifes them.
They speak of it with bated breath; they
hate it and wish it to fail; they see in it
grave danger to their party, but they dare
not openly oppose it. So much the moro
credit is deserved by Mr.. Sherman, who, at
least, is not afraid. His courage and the
limidity Of such rivals as Messrs. Blaine
and Conkling will make him more and
more the centre of the anti-Gra element,
and bring to his support great many
men who, If the other candidates were
not SO silent and subservient, might gather
about one or the other of these. The more
the Grant movement people have to con-
centrate their efforts against one man, like
Mr.. Sherman, the more the essential weak
ness Of this ridiculous and anti-republican
cry for "a strong man at the head Of the
government" will appear. Mr.. Sherman 8
rivals will discover presently that they are
blundering. that his letter to Mr.. John B.
Haskin. which first saw the light in the
HERALD. and his letter declining the Ohio
Senatorship, are fine strokes Of political
genius, and that his frank and bold course
gives him avery great start in the Presiden-
tial race.

Another day has passed-the third since
the election-without settling the fate of
any officer on the general State ticket ex-
cept the Governor. The utmost that can
be said is that the voting runs unusually
close in the case of every one of them and
that the probabilities still favor the
success of most of the democratic
candidates. The returns, at last COM
pleted, from this city do not disclose
democratic scratching here to such an ex-
tent as some republican politicians ex-
pected. Still there are variations in them
which in so close contest may decide the
result, if they are ON index of similar
variations throughout the State They
are chiefly visible in the cases of Mr.. Oh.
colt and Mr. Schoonmaker, the democratic
candidates for Comptroller and Attorney
General. Mr.. Olcott runs well abreast of
the average of his ticket Tammany did
not scratch him much. But Mr.. Wads-
worth, his competitor. runs considerably
ahead of the average of the repub-
lican ticket, doubtless through his we'll
deserved personal popularity. So does
Mr.. Ward, the republican candidate
for Attorney General. though for a
different reason. Some two thousand
democratic votes seem to have been diverted
in his favor from Mr.. Schoonmaker. Mr..
Seymour, the democratic candidate for
State Engineer, leads his whole ticket here.
by reason of republican votes, not only
withheld from Mr.. Soule, but cast in con-
siderable number for himself.
