THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

DEFIANT TONE OF GOVERNOR ROBINsoN's Al
BANY oRGAN-REsENTrNG THE DIcTArIoN OF
TAMMANY HALL.
The resolutions of the Tan1many Hall Committee
on Organization last Monday. declaring that under
no circumstances would the democracy of New York
vote for Mr.. Robinson for Governor, have called
forth sharp rejoinder from tho Albany argus. 1t
says
Governor Robinson, in executing the laws and
constitution of the State, has nterfred with the in
terests of those who have been miAsoverning New
York city. against whom the people pronounced by
overwhelming majority. That is the reason why
such language OF passion and unreason is used.
That the whole act aud all the language Of these
persons constitute dictation OF the worst kind is
manifest. To accompany dictation with dis.
caimer of desire to dictate Is ridiculous. 1t will
deceive neither those who are using the language
nor those who read 1t.
rAMMANY AND THE REPUBLICANS
This despatch carries back to theopen and
active concert OF votes and policy between Tam
manys officials and the machine republican officials
for over two years past. The people saw the first
proof of this in the Senate two years ago. when the
Tammany Senators and the machine republican Sen
ators voted to keep in Office q machine republican
superintendent of Insurance. whose commission of
the offences charged against was confessed and
boldly justified: The alliance lasted through the
whole term of that Senate, and was proved
by many other acts which have deeply
impressed the conscience Of the people Of
success and especially to any Of corrupt
combinations. Events in New York city have alAo
proved the same all1anCe. "A notable euort Oh tfhs
people Of that city to reform their home govern.
ment has been resisted at every step by the Tam
many politicians and the machine republican
leaders. The republican Aldermen and the Tam
many Aldermen have acted together i'll the reds-
tricting of the city for Assembly purposes, giving
the republicans four more districts than they were
entitled TO. rejecting reform nominees for public
offices III order to keep in malgoverning
Tammany democrats and TNmmany republicans.
This action followed up, by a joint Tammany

to buildoze the State democracy that falling, the
intention IL almost avowed and Is plain as avowai
could make it, to sell out the State democracy. The
action OF the official fragment OF fragment OF Tam
many Hall is all in the same line.
ALLIANCE WITH TAMMANY.
Forewarned is forearmed. The reform democracy

dictaton is the product. The friends OF Governor
