THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

For the 0asette. .llI n.t.,
The week just past has been one Of
political Significance. They election
Maine and two political conven-
lions In the State Or New York, have
given the people Of all temperAmenta
and shades Of opinions, much food 10
digest. The press Of New York City,
regardless Of party, have passed judg+
ment on the doings Of both parties, dur
ing the past week, and in summing up
their views, 1t appears TO my mind that
the Democracy OF. New York have
shown themselves TO be men whose aims
and purposes are TO advance the interests
of the Democratic party. The action Of
the regular Democrats At Syracuse, Last
week, is commeudable to oil well-wishers
of the old Democratic Jefe-sonian party.
This firmness, earnestness and puri :
ty Of purpose Of the Denocra'B
who nominated Mr.. Robinson d
Syracuse will have lis effect all over this
country for good. There was no hatred
shown towards Mr.. Kelly and his fol-
lowen. Mr.. Kelly, In leaving the Con
ventiou, has shown to the party, Of
which he il . member, that he ID un-
grateful, and not the man 10 be entruct-
ed with power. He 10 indebted TO tie
Democrats Of New York for the position
aud prominence which he has STAINED,
and now when harmony and unity arc
needed, he refuses to submit to the ma
Ijority, and says to the Democracy, II
am the man, and will rule or ruin" II
is very gratifying to Democrats 10 know
that Mr.. Kelly will be left with only q
o few followers before election day. Men
Of prominence and influence, who were
members Of Tammany, are deserving
him and expressing themselves in favor
Of Lucius Robinson, who no doubt will
be elected by . good majority.
The Philadelphia Tines appears to bt
very much elated over the election IL
Maine, and predicts triumph Of its par
, ty in Ohio. 1t would lead the people Il
believe that the Democrats are block
heads, and all they did In Congress wa
against them and in favor of the RAD
Gals. 1t expresses itself simply - 1t
Q editor desires, and is not to be relied OF
r politically. He did not sing this kind @
song when he wanted to be Mayor Q
Philadelphia. Why, to read his speeche
: during that canvass, you would think b
, was one of the purest Democrats.
But now how changed and VIII
changed ? Rerred to the single-standAr
7 gold bugs, Democrats should beware {
Q these paid "Independants." During ID
past week the democrats have had n
cause to be discouraged, but have u
satisfaction TO know that the country
d on the road to prosperity brought ahol
: by them in prosecuting fraud and co
q ruption in high plac-s. New York d
