ed to make fol their defence. That it is
no easy thing. retail dealers well know.
1t is as if a dealer had become so used
to putting sand in the sugar and water in
the whisky that he could not break the
habit. But all who buy chiefly at retail
may we'll think whether they will again
permit cheap money to give excuse for
a return to that habit-for another in
fiation of retail prices.
THERE'S no land on earth in which Ia
Dor ought to prosper more surely and
steadily than this. Yet for many years
labor has been tossed in the air, again
and again, falling each time with a rude
shock, as hazing students toss victim.
At times, high pay has prompted much
waste and extravaganza. At times,
skilled workmen by the thousand have
gone back to England in search Of bet
ter living. We stand on solid ground at
last. Labor is now we'll employed. In
uSCOIulllS W lllC lItkDOl
Bureau, out of $50, 900 male and female
laborers, only $4,000 are out of worthless
thau in 100. Probably the proportion
was never smaller, even in the most
prosperous times. Nor is there any 9th
er time known, in which the wages of
workers would have bought as much of
things needed for the support of fami-
ly as their wages have bought since Oc-
tober last. Men who could live on their
wages in 1872 can now live equally well,
and save One-third of their earnings.
Now, too, the dollar in bank means a
dollar. 1t is not liable to lose part of
its value at any moment, as it was so
long. 1t is worth twice as much now
as it was in 1867. 1t will buy at retail
as much as 81 73 bought in 1872. All
this return to honest money has done
for the laborer already. Would it not be
amazing folly if we should insist upon
going back to the wages and prices of
cheap-do liar times ?-N. Y. Tribune.

are united to repeal the only laws which
stand between them and any majority
they may name in the two cities. For
tunately this fine scheme is liable to run
against something quite as solid as the
South. \ party which repudiates all the
primary truths of political science,
which assails every fundamental
in our system of government, which
makes light of National honesty and
honor, and whose central purpose now is
to gain possession of the capital by using
violence in the South and by falsifying
the verdict of the people in the North, is
in fair way to discover that there is
such thing as popular conscience as
well as popular intelligence. The vote
this Fall will probably indicate that a
great many people are giving serious re-
Election to these essential matters.-[N

Split Ofthe New York Democracy
at Syracuse.
Tammany Witkdraws and Holds a COnveu.
tiOn Which NOEIiHates John Kelly--Lucius
Robinson and q Fall Ticket NOmInafod by
the Regular Convention.

Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.
NEW YORK, Sept. 11-Specials to the
Tribune tonight concerning the bolt of
the Tammany delegates say the interest
ing circus and free fight called the DEM
Ocratic Convention was struggle Of
wits and not of muscle as was expected,
and the result was shrewd management
and not bloodshed. Tammany was de-
feated when she came, but she was with
al skillful in management. The issue
was reached as soon as the platform, a
sickly mess of platitudes, had been
adopted. Nobody cared about that.
The first incident was insignificant
Peter MitchellS effort to be noticed.
Some one in the gallery called out, "Put
them Tammany rOughs Outp' Peter, in
great indignation, declared that the con-
ventiOn should not be insulted, and that
the man in the gallery was "a impudent
pup" Senator Jacobs, the permanent
Chairman, declared the nomination of
Governor in order. Then solemn Sam
uel Hand rose and nominated Lucius
Robinson. At the first mention of that
name the bOasted harmony disappeared.
Tammany broke out in groans and hiss
es nearly as loud as her opponents
cheers. When Judge Morris, of Kings,
seconded the nomination in the name Of
Kings county, Tamman5's last hope dis
appeared. 1t was evident the Kings
delegates did not want to run in Slocum.
When Morris promised $4,000 votes for
Robinson Tamnany broke out in deri-
sive laughter, and the braves from New
York who were hanging on the pilasters
and window sashes with hats tipped at
q true Tammany angle, making the air
blue with cigar smoke, called out, "You
can't; you haven't got 'em" 1t was left
for c. w. BOurk, a criminal lawyer Of
New York, to make the Tammany NOM
inatiOn, which was Gen. SlOcum. The
braves cheered as best they could then,
and also when Gen. Smith, the ex-POlice
Commissioner by the grace of Gov. Rob
inSOn, seconded the nomination. T. F.
Grady then made disgusting attack on
Gov. Robinson and Mayor Cooper, whom
he called half mule and half jackass.
Other speeches followed amid the disor-
der. Huge Lieut.. Gov. Dorsheimer
made an impression as he walked up
and down before the convention an
nouncing Tammanyis determination to
bolt, and asked the Kings County dele
gates if they would not have done as
Tammany has if Robinson had persecu-
ted them.
BallOting had proceeded only little
way, when Gen. Schell announced that
Tammany was going to have the place.
The delegation walked out amid grOans
and laughter, and cries Of "GOod bye,
boys" The exit being made, the ballot
ing went on, and Gov. Robinson was de-
clared nominated. The Tammany braves,
headed by Kelly and Schell, walked qui-
etly to the Vanderbilt House, and made
arrangements to have separate hall.
They kept their word, their bolt had
been made

Making aPOint.

A witness was examined before a
parliamentary committee with the fol-
lowing result; Sergeant A. said to wit
ness:
And on Thursday. the thirteenth, you
called on Mr.. Jones
"I did"
"And what did he sayP"
Sergeant b. objected to this question.
Sergeant A. argued that it could be
put, and cited several precedents. The
juniors hunted up all the cases.
Sergeant b. replied at length, and sta
ted his precedents. These arguments
lasted two hours The committee then
returned to consider whether the ques-
tion should be put or not, and, after an
absence of an hour, they returned and
stated that it might be asked. Up then
rose Sergeant A. and and said to witness:
"And ON Thursday, the thirteenh, you
say you called on Mr.. JOnes?"

Though the cost Of articles fell 81 per

Unpleasant Attitude of the RevOlutionIsts.
IN. Y Herald

The Republicans are very nervous about a
veto. They fear that the President will sign
the army bill, and the speeches made last
week by Republican Senators were leveled ait
him rather than at the Senate or the country.
1t should be understond that there are other
Interests besides those merely political which
desire g veto. The army BILL as it now stands
and as it will probably go to the President,
has an amendment TO the political rider in
tended to obviate the fault which Garfield
found In It, that 1t disabled the President
from using troops even on the constitutional
call OF a Legislature or Governor AS this
rider now stands it simply prohibits the
stationing OF troops at the polls anteeedent
to riot or disturbance, and what troubles
the Republicans is that they do not like to 90
before the country In the attitude Of assert
Ing that troops ought to be stationed at cleo
tion places on election day when no distur-
bance Or. riot Is going on. They therefore
touch this, which is the real issue, in q gin
gerly manner. They would prefer the Pre-
dent to sacrifice himself for them BY vetonp
the bill It 1s noticed already tnat several Of
the ablest Senators, notably Mr.. Conkling,
have maintained a judicious silence on the
army bill. They are reserving themselves
for the Legislative bill, the riders on which the
Democrats themselves confess privately ssare
liable to damaging attack"
