IL has been said by many that Kelly
has frequently worked in harmony
with the Republicans, yet those who
make the assertion cannot men tion one
instance when Kelly raised his voice
or used his inhuenos for the advance
mspt OF anything Of political nature
that did not subserve his own interests
or develop his selfish designs. Que
year sgo when he entered the fsld as a
candidate for gubernatorial honors in
New York, II was his sole determine
tion to force himself Into recognition
or defeat the Tild,n faction Of the De.
mocrasy. When he entered the con test
he knew that the obstinacy Of the
Tildsn Democrats would bs their death,
and he also knew that If they contin.
asd 10 power his position in municipal
government would be prscarious one.
and his faithful henchnen would BE-
powerless In the hands Of those against
whom be rebslled. He is now without
= reliable political support and withCut
principles, 70: he should not be turned
loose upon the world ladened with the
sins OF the disreputabls Democracy.
To be honest about the matter, is
there sane Dsnocr who suppOsss
that any voter withdrew their support
from General Hancock because John
Kelly gave his consent to tbs nomina-
ton Of . mAu for the msyorsltY Of New
York whose name was presented by the
representatives Of the Democratic party
a. Target II there were any suob vo-
tery they must have been very foolish
aud,6skls-minded. 1t would have been

The Democrats will not have TO ex-
fsud their searches over e great deal o,
ground to ind ths real cause Of their
defeat. In the frst place tbs business
ms2 o' the Country should be spgtcaah-
ed upon tue subJec and they will ur-
don u6tsdly say that they favored more
than "a tariff for revenue only" and
when they saw General Hansock's
message 70 Plaisted, congratulate him
on the glorious results, they concluded
to withhold their support from a man
