How English was Nominated,

The quarrel between Tammany and the Til
deniteS Of New York as TO who is responsible
for the loss Of that state to the democrats is ex
posing some Of the party secrets. Neither fac
ton seems to spare the party where it can make
point against the other. One OF the questions
that democrats have frequently asked each
other since the election is: ''Who was response
bic for the nomination Of English at Cincin-
nau.' IS general thing, even the men who
were prominent actors 10 the Cincinnati con-
yention could not answer this question. After
Hancock was nominated there was desir
among leading democrats 70 put Senator McDon
aid on the ticket Tor the second place. He was
was rather abruptly approached on the subject
and replied that he did not want the nom
nation. The men who were anxious to
nominate him, however, on the ground
that he was the strongest democrat In H.
diana, felt confident OF success. They
said TO Others who were cooperating with
them: Mcdonald does not want the nomina-
ton. but II tire convention puts him on the
ticket by reclamation he win accent The
plan 10 nominate Senator Mcdonald was being

the National committee, put up the quiet
arrangement by which Mr.. E 1glish was showed

The northern democrats are looking forward
10 reGiYts.on OF parties on other than SCI
tional lines with entire complacency. They g
satisfied that there IS no future for the demo =
raey, weighted down by solid south. The
declaration Of principles By Senator Brown, OF
Georgia, is construed to mean new departure
by portion Of the south, at least. Mr.. Bro En
says: 1--WE have a new south The world
moves; am going to move with IT. While he
does not, il express language, declare against
the Old democracy, he antag0niZeS two OF the
fundamental principles OF that party. He ad-
yocates NOeTal appropriations for internal i'm
pTOvemeIts, and says the federal government
must educate the negro. In one more
particular, too, the Senator runs coun-
ter 10 accepted democraCy-in proclaim
ing IN favor OF negroes holding Office.
The utterances OF Senator Brown may imply all
that the construction given them supposes, but
the disintegTat.on Of the democratic south will
not take place suddenly. Men who were elected
10 Congress as democrats viii not step right
over into the republican lines; but, in the next
Congress. It Is more than likely that numbers
OF the members elected nom the south as DEM
ocrats VIII refuse TO be bound by party allegiance
and party considerations In their votes upon
measures Of public interest. From such indepen-
dent action the way to new political association
viii be opened TO such public men OF the south
as believe that the Old system is more harmful
than beneficial However. should the green
hackers combine and attempt to hold the
balance Cf power In the organization of the
next House, that might lead to rather sudden
charges IL political organizations. There are
democratic meIbers-elect from the south who
would probably vote for republican ascendency
Ii order to prevent greenbackism from getting
any hold upon the legislative department OF the
government. Some Of the northern democratic
papers very willingly contemplate the loss to
their party OF portion OF the south. One of
the most influential or all the northern demo-
cratic organs says GdttOrally, that the proper
place for the south is with the republican party
and its doctrine of Capitalization.

The ques ton Of permitting com

has been agitating the ministers of

Some thought it encouraged lusts of
the flesh while others could see no
especial harm in it. One minister
took a rather business-like view of
the matter. A young lady, he said,
dances once or twice, and knowing
that she will be hauled over the Goals
for it stays away from church and
finally joins some denomination
which doesn't care particularly about
dancing. In this way, he asserted,
more than ten thousand people had
been driven away from the Baptist
churches in New York.

A bill has been prepared, and is
understood to have the sanction of
the Governor, for change in the
judiciary, and is in some respects
similar to that to offer which leave
was some weeks ago granted 10 a
member of the city delegation. The
new bill provides for an independent
Court of appeals, With seven MEM
bers, who shall perform no other
functions. Three counties shall com.
prise one circuit, with one Judge to
preside over the Orphans Court of
the county, and who in addition to
attending to the Orphans Court,
shall be empowered to have jurisdic-
ton in cases of chancery. The adop-
ton of such a bill will involve a
change in the organic law of the
state, and three-fifths vote will be
necessary to pass it in the two houses.
1t is stated, however, by those con-
versant with the Governors views
on the subject, that the matter has
been discussed with quite a large
number of members, and that there
is good prospect for the passage of
a bill Of this nature.
