New YORK.

n must not DO forgottcu tnat " 70 e"so-
lately necessary to rue success OF the Dem.
cratic candidate for President this year tns'
no should have the vote Of the State OF New
York. Last week we surveyed the whole
f;csd 10 an article intended TO bringforward
prominently the fact 10 which we have ins'
alluded, and could find no hope Tor Tue
Democrats 10 any combination OF states 'nS'
did not include New YORK.
Nor must It be assumed that any Demo
cratic candidate can carry New York. It's
moi certain. we fear, that any other man
than Mr.. SEYMOUR can do so. But as 70 TINS
poius. we are willing to receive the test'
nsony Of the New Yofk delegates, unless
indeed. as we do not expect, they should
turn out TO be thick-and-thin psrlisans o.
Mr.. Tn.pEx, who will listen to no mans
claims except Mr.. TmDTN's or those OF the
man upon whom he desires his mantle 10
fall.
It was considered no doubt In the Chicago
Convention impolitic to nominate caho''
date from such an insignificant State as YER
mont. located as that State Is, In the nortn'
east corner OF the republic, otherwise Mr'
EoxrSps might have come forward as tbe
dark horse instead OF Mr.. GARFIELD. we
trust that the Cincinnati Convention VIII DC
not less wise aud will take care to nominate
no man who has these or similar weak
points in the list Of objections which may
be made to his nomination. Let lis make
sure OF New York, first Of all.
Nor do not let us imagine that Mr.. AR
THURS name will weaken the ticket 10 ne"
York. 1t viii, on the contrary, strengthen
IL. II be were running by himself, there
are some twenty thousand young "scratch-
ers - in that State who would bolt his nom-
ination and refuse to vote for him. But be
is not running by himself. His fate is IN
dissolubly linked with that OF Mr.. GARFIELD.
The same electors who stand for ARTHUR
will stand for GARFIELD. The deieat OF
one Is The defeat of the other. The twenty
thousand Republicans who would other
wise scratch him will therefore not be able
70 do so this year without scratching MI.
GARFIELD. This they are unwilling 10 do.
They had rather take the ARTHUR pill, sugar
coated as IL is with GARFIELD, than to swat
low the bitter pill OF defeat in the case OF
Mir. GARFIELD. They would rather vote Tor
ARTHUR than to be instrumental in the de-
feat OF GARFIELD.
GARFIELD and ARTHUR may safely calcu-
late upon the support OF all the better class
OF Republicans in New York, not because
these are satisfied with ARTHUg's nomina-
ton, but because they are anxious 10 eject
GARFIELD. On the other hand, ARTHUR, OF
all the men iu the United States, will most
thoroughly enlist the efforts OF the machine
politicians in New York. Mr.. CoNKLlNG
and bis henchmen may not like Mr.. GAR
FIELD very well, and may not be at all
pleased with bis nomination. But he is
tied 10 ARTHUR, the "whip" OF the
machine party in the Empire State
ARTHUR, whom Mr. CoNKLING would not
have defeated for any consideration
ARTHUR, who is the leading worker OF all
the political machinery in the Republican
party in New York--ARTHUR, who says to
one Republican worker "Do this" and ne
does IL, and to another " Do this" and he
does it. ARTHUR will receive the most cor
dial support Of JOHNNY DAVENPORT and all
his crew. In word, the machine poiti-
clans will move heaven and earth to carry
New York for ARTHUR, and, carrying it for
him, cannot but carry it for GARPIELD.
1t seems to us, therefore, to be the bound
en- duty Of the Cincinnati Convention to
nominate some man known in New York
some man who can offset the immense local
machine-work that is to be done in the
interest OF ARTBUR-some man VINO can
arouse in bis behalf the feelings OF the un-
terrified Democracy OF western New York
as well as OF the Tammany boys-some man
who can set both the country Democrats
and the Tammany boys to working with
will and with zeal and enthusiasm for his
election.
This is the one labor that is to be per-
formed by the Cincinnati Convention.
