The report that Gov. Cornell Of New
York intends to retain Smyth as Insurance
Commissioner without rcappointment, in
spite Of the almost unanimous hostility of the
Republican Press of that State. is calling out
some pretty pointed suggestions from some Of
the Governors hitherto warmcsl supporters.
Thus the Troy TimSs calls Gov. Cornclrs
attention to the fact that the constitution Of
New York makes it possible to remove
Mr.. Smyth by joint resolution, and it adds ::
We have never known public sentiment to
be so universally aroused and 50 oulspolcn
in the case of any official, not absolutely
charged with Il crime, as it is in that of Mr..
Smyth: and while that gentleman may 90

DEMOCRATIC MUD THROW.
ING.

After the presidential nomina>
tions were made, when the republi-
cans had selected as their standard
bearer, that pure patriot, soldier,
statesman and Christian gentleman,
Gen. James A. Garfield, of Ohio
and after the democrats had Mons
mated the distinguished general, W.
S. Hancock, we supposed that the
present canvass would be free from
the vulgar blackguardism and bill"
liDgsgate which too often gets into
political campaigns. We believed
that the canvass would be condu cted
on higher plane. But it appears
that we were mistaken. The igno-
rant, who know no better, may be
excused for saying things that are
false. It is expected of vicious,
narrow minded, little souled, moral
and mental dwarfs, that they will
wallow in the mire of falsehood and
filth. That is their natural element.
But men who have brains and mora
principle, who have any respect fol
themselves or for truth, do not con
descend to such things.
Men have right to differ. 4

An Unpleasant Predicament.


Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
WAsHrNeToN, D. c., Aug. 29.-The
editor of the Washington Sunday
Capital (Buell), in a communication
in his paper this morning, expresses
grave doubts as to the democratic
success, and comments very severely
upon the bad democratic manage
ment of the campaign. He says that
the boosted accessions from the re-
publican to the democratic ranks OF
any persons of Importance are thus
far confined to John W. Forney, and
that the democracy would have done
better without him. The promised
reconciliation of the democratic fac
lions in Virginia and New York has
not yet been made, and Barnum,
chairman of the national committee.
is conducting the canvass IN the old
Tilden rut. Mr.. Buell., who is now
| in Virginia, says that the result OF
the democratic split will so far DIVIDE
the democratic vote as to make the
choice of the Garfield electors a mat
ter of imminent probability. Every
republican in Virginia will vote the
republican ticket, while 10000 demo
Gratis will vote the readjusters ticket.
This is likely to give the republican
electors a plurality of from 1000 to
$4,000. The trouble with the demo
| cratic party, the writer concludes, is
an antipathy to brains at party head
Iouarters. The loss of New York to
| the democrats is also predicted I'M
