Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1880-04-03

The prospects of the Democratic party
are growing brighter every day. Added
to gross blunders on the part of their
adversaries, is the cheering prospect that
the differences which have so long dis
tracted the New York Democracy, and
which have been the cause of anxious
concern to the party in every State, are
almost certain to be adjusted satisfac-
torily at no distant day. Both factions
appear to have realized at last the utter
foolishness of persisting in their unproft-
able quarrel, and while we do not believe
that either will surrender to the other,
there seems every reason to expect a fair
and honorable compromise. In the N. Y.
Herald o. Saturday, for instance, we find
the most promising declaration from ex-
Governor Seymour and Ex-Governor Rob-
inson, who represent the conservative
elements of the two opposing wings of
the New York Democracy. 1t would be
unfair, perhaps, to say of Governor Sey-
mour that he belongs to any faction, since
he is looked up to and beloved by Demo-
Gratis Of all shades of opinions, but it is
an open secret that he has not wholly
sympathized with the policy of the Til
den branch of the party during the past
three or four years, and it is at least GER
tain that he represents the views OF the
rank and file Democrats who desire the
success of the party above the success Of
any individual. His words have, there
fore, a peculiar advantage and signif-
canoe, and this is his language, as reported
by the Herald with regard to the
Democratic party in New York State,
while there are unfortunate differences,
they are drifting into the past and are
getting behind the party in its course in
the future. The quarrels
among the Democrats are over old men,
and it is the height Of folly to continue
them. The old men will all pass away
in two or three years at most, and then
the young and vigorous men who are left
will find themselves embittered toward
each other OH account of men who are
dead and gone, and who were not worth
fighting over" This is significant Ian
guage, and the whole zone of Mr.. Sey-
mour's remarks was serene and placid, as
if he looked forward with perfect conf
dence to the harmonious adjustment of
all differences within the party in due
time.
The declarations of Ex-Governor Rob-
inson on the same head are even more
encouraging. Mr.. Robinson has been
identified with the Tilden inter-
ests ever since he became Lieutenant
Governor. He declares that some time
ago Mr.. Tilden told him that che did not
desire the nomination this year," but he
believed that he would accept the nomi-
nation eff it were rendered him." Mr..
Robinson expressed the opinion that all
differences could be reconciled within the
organization of the party, and
without the intervention Of outside con-
ferences Of leading Democrats. These
are cheering signs and indicate, as we be-
lieve, a firm purpose on the part of the
leaders of the Democratic party Of New
York to present a harmonious and un-
broken front to the enemy. The Demo-
cratic party throughout the country is
awaiting the promised reconciliation with
the keenest anxiety. and for the interests
of the National organization it cannot be
accomplished a moment too soon.
