The New York Herald Of this, morn
ing, in reviewing the work of the Demo-
cratic Conventions at Syracuse, has this
to say :-aThe ticket Ia. strong. Robin
son and Potter make what in the slang
Of the politicians Is called a strong team :
bnt it settles nothing; for, to q great
many voters, the first question will be
who or what stands behind Il. Itbehind
It stand men of character, of statesman
like wisdom, courage and moderation,
determined to drag their party out of
the sl0ugh-in which 1t has been wallow-
ing so many. years, then the action at
Syracuse yesterday may have national
results for II the Democratic party of
New York has the courage TO lead, and
the ability, knowledge and statesmapship
TO lead in the right direction, 1t may re-
deem the Democratic party of the coun-
try, and regain for it the confidence Of
the thinking public, which it has 90 long
been without. 'a' ~, =
The Times says EFT wsuld be an
evil day when party as powerful as is
the Democratic party or Yew York, in
Guiding among It's leaders 50 many men
Of standing and ability, should have
surrendered to the demands of corrupt,
vulgar, and greedy faction. The State
would have suffered not only injury but
disgrace If an organization that always
commands half, and often majority Of
the votes of the State, had yielded to Q
clique whose chief grievance is that Its
members have been checked in theiI
career Of public plumber. We believe
that there Is enough vitality In the Re.
publican party to win the next election
against The Democracy at its best. We
would not pay our own party or Its can
didate the poor compliments Of supposine
that they can only carry the day against
the Democracy ruled by the low dema-
gogues and INSCRIPTIONS tricksters oil
Tammany Hail." ''' |
The Tribune says :--sMr. Robinson ID
a Tilden man, and was once q Republi.
can. Mr.. Tilden is railroad wrecker, 3
| Spectator in elevated railroad stock, q
manipulation of cipher dispatches, and q
man with grievance. who means to be
| the candidate of the Democratic party
for the Presidency, or to destroy the par
tyr .,..I..s ...sps.4li..iesf
The World says 1--WE have never
for moment pretended that there are
not many other pure and able Demo
cratic statesmen in New York to whom
the standard of the party might be safely
intrustsd. Governor Robinson hlmsell
has neither sought nor, as we believe
desired the denomination which has now
been rendered him with enthusiasm BY
the representatives of the Democratic
voters of the Commonwealth. But from
the moment when local clique of office
holders, banded together under name
odius to the better sense of the whole
Democratic party ofthe nation, assumed
to decide for the Democrats of New Yoi
who should and who should not be placed
at the head of the State ticket in q con
test of such vital importance to the PEG
pie, 1t became in our eyes solemn duty
to insist upon the denomination of ar
Executive who had earned the distinc
ton and the advantage of their hostility
solely and confessedly by his loyalty to
the high duties of his station as he under
stood them"
The Sun briefly says :-"Lucius Rob
| inson has Deen renominated for Cover
nor by the Democratic State Convention
at Syracuse. Either Lucius Robinson
or Alonzo B. Cornell will be Governo
of the State Of New York for three year
from and after the LIST day Of Januar
next. or the two we greatly prefe
