was a declaration of war against the policy OF
the Democratic party, which, in its platform 81
1856, Icaflirmed in 1860. declared: " The tine
has come for the people of the United States
"to declare themselves in favor of free seas
"and progressive free trade throughout the
world = and denounced all monopoes and
exclusive legislation for the benefit OF the lew
"at Che expense of tie many This has been
the real position OF the two parties from that
day to this.
The latest platforms Of the Democratic party
only express the same intention, which General
Hancock row tries to dislyow. In 1868, the
party demanded "a tariff for revenue upon
foreign Imports; the platform OF 1876 SAID:
ave demand ina; all Ell tom-housc taxation
Il" shall be only for revenue ! ard mor'ovef'
I'VE dc.ouacc ths present tmi1 E. as a mas

that General Hancock now precuds the Demo-
cratic party Will maintain as sucly az the Re
publican partyl
The claim is fdlseho1d. No matter by
whom il may be made, OF on what pretcxt or
emergency. it is perfectly well known 20 be
mere dishonest trick to deceive voters. il the
ignorance OF General Hancock Is so phcnom-
cnal and stupcn lous that he can by any posi-

then he knows less Of public opinion ard lcciS-
la,ive History than any sci ool-boy. and is utterly
unfit TO any civil office. If, on the other hand
he knows the truth as to the purpose and spirit
OF his party, its history and It's persistent
efforts 10 break down the present tariff which
il denounced as mast rpiece of injustice,
then he is the most shameless ana dishonest

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
OPENING OF TnE OPERA SEASON

OPENlNG OF TIE OPEkA SEASON.
Nothing could have been more auspicous than the
opening last night OF Mr.. Maplcson's third Amefl-
can opera season. The Academy was densely
crowded; tho audience was more than usually
demoustrative; old fayorites were welcomed with
the utmost heartness; the new per-
sonage in the cast-the tenor who is
dest ned to relieve Campanlni of part
Of his labors-may BE- credited with success and
the whole performance was bright. smooth and IN
terestiug. Sig ArlIti was the first 10 experience
the cordiality of the house, and when he took his
place in the orchestra hr vas greeted with prolonged
applause which testified to the drm place he has
secured n the pubic esteem.
Lucia was well chosen for the opening
night. since it presents Madame Gerster in a role
with which We have the pelsantcst recollections
OF her former trumphs. When she came upon the
STAGE she was hailed 10y a remarkable outburst. in
which the whole audience seemed 10 JON, and II
was some time before quiet sufficiently stored
tor the suspended performance to 80 on.
At the end of the acts, and at all the most notable
Of Luc.d's numbers. the applause broke out again
with almost equal lervor. aud daring the flute

To this end the address calls upon the " Lovers

TUr y0vJyfTJ0y F0P MfYOR

Mr.. William K. Grace, who has been Sc
lected by the Tamm.uy and Irving Hall
Conference Committees as the Democratic
candidate for Mayor, is respected merchant
Of tins city-an Irishmau by birth Roman
Catholic III religion, and q man Of large
wealth acquired by his own industry and
business talent. Republicans would have been
better pleased 10 see Augustus Scheil receive
the nomination bccaus. of his wcl-knoWn high
standing in the community, but they
will he glad TO see thoroughly
respectable candidate as the outcome of all
the Democratic chickering's and bargaInings OF
the past month. 1t does not appear that Mr.
Grace has had official experience OF any kind
to fit him for the Mayoralty. but it Is well to
remember that candidate might have been
chosen with official experience OF the wrong
kind.
This is the view of good Republican citi-
zens; the Democratic view is altogether
different. Mr.. Grace was one OF the men pro-
posed by Anti-Tammany, under the impress
sion that 1ammany would never accept
him. and Mr.. Kelly has fairly snapped him
I'D in his cageIness. The Irving Hall Demo-
Gratis row believe that they were led
to put Mr.. Grace in their list by undeIhand
Tammauy work, ina>much as the impression
that he would not be acceptable to Tam
many has been carefully kept alive to the
last moment The disgust of the outwitted
men of Irving Hall is phenomenal. They have
been ouiwitted and fooled from the beginning
of this business, and now find themselves
credited with a nominee for Mayor who has
,lrr nF tlg1 ,iylf ION,
and is believed to be Tammany man at
heart. The Germans also are mutteling over The
Unprecedented representation of Irishmen ON
the Democratic local ticket. Two Irish
men and one son of an lrlShman have already
been named for three places out of the five.
If any more Ir>hmcn are nominated the
Irish Democrats may have to try their hands
az electing the ticket alone.
