NEW YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, SAIUKDAf, Dtit0'I =

ond an acute and shrewd observer
Of the current of political events. OuDtiess
no vould say unhasitatingly. IL questioned
that in his belief the Democrats have no
chance to carry the Presidential election
against any Republican candidate except
Grant. We understand that The has
sald as much, and further, that the ex-fresl-
dent ia the only candidate whom lliuen
could beat Here then, Is the suggestion OF
Use for the new Democratic Union other IMAM
killing off Tilden.
The object in the first instance is maniiestly
to bring about the setting aside OF Iliueh "S
the lone man. in the way OF harmony
That seems fororn hope. If it be not
accomplished, and Tllden be nominated
then. in the opinion of these intelligent
and practical men, there is so little
chance for his election that they think
they hazard nothing in boiling the nomina-
ton. qnless General Grant should be the OPP
posing candidate. In that event these gentle
men would be so hopeful Of success that tney
would lay aside their hostility to Ihden
and unite in his support Then the
new organization would be common
meeting ground for al factions OF
Democracy; the third-term cry would be
raised and with a great affectatiOn OF patriot
ism and pretence of sacrificing personal
feeling in the presence of such q menace
TO liberty and free institutions, the re-
united Democracy would lift up Their
banners and with new courage march
toward the pay-rols. The Democratic Union
has an ostensible purpose, which its mem
bers know to be impracticable. Not one
of the Tammany men in 1t Will blhu
himself to vote for TIden if nominated,
and they are not so foolish as to hope to trick
Mr. Tilden's friends into consenting to throw
him overheard. The real purpose will only be
disclosed in the contingency of General
Grants nomination. Should that happen 1t
will fulfil its mission and unite the party. The
conspicuous fact in this situation for ReDubh-
cans to consider is that the union of the Dem
ocratic factions In New-York depends on
Republican and not upon Democratic action.
The Chicago Convention can furnish the
Democracy of New-York a basis for union
which they cannot discover of themselves. Is
it worth while TO do it

THE SOLE BoPE or THE DEMOCRACY.

THE SOLE HOPE Of IHh DHHV'h-i'I'
The process of harmonizing the Democratic
party by hiring another hall and creating n
new subdivision goes on swimmingy. Several
prominent persons in the party who have
never differed have harmonized In the
new hall under new name, and Issued
n cordial invitation TO everybody else to be
reconcied even rs they are. And there has
been as yet no outbreak. We do not know
who invented the plan, but 1t Is certainly
ingenious and is thus far success. The
fundamental idea upon which the new
Democratic Union rests was set forth in the
Address with which Democratic subdivisions
are accustomed to announce themselves, and
elaborated IN the speeches of Mcssrs. DORIS
heimer and Erastus Brooks. Ii Is that no one
man must stand in the way of Democratic
harmony and Democratic success. 1t L.
coincidence, perhaps, that most of
the gentlemen engaged in this praise
worthy ENTERPRISE have heretofore been con-
nected with Tammany Hall, and this may ac-
count in some measure for the singular una
nimity with which they agreed at their first
meeting that If any one man stood in the
way he must be set aside. For this has been
the cardinal doctrine Of the Tammany Democ-
racy for at least two years. In Tammany
Hall. however, they make it more explicit
and personal. There they say Mr.. Til
den IS the cone man. and swear they
won't harmonic till he is set aside. In
the new hall they call upon everybody to
agree generally that no ." one man shall stand
In the way, etc. There bids fair to be perfecs
harmony until they come to pick ont the "One
"man.r Whether it continues after that de-
bends very much upon whether they get any
Tiden men into the c ncern.
The purpose Of this device Is so apparent
that we take it for granted the friends OF
Mr.. Tilden, distrusting rs they do every
proposition that emanatcs from Tammany
will not be inveigled into giving it their
countenance or support. The organizers of
the enterprise can hardly hope that the
men who are for Tilden first, last and
all the time will put themselves in such n
positiop that they will be obliged to throw
bIm over nj the threat of Tammany to bolt
his nomination. But it is quite possible
aud we commend the fact to the
serious consideration OF Republcans-that
the Interior object of the movement Is
In certain contingency to actually CONSOLE
date the party upon any candidate, no matter
even if it be Mr.. Tiden. An inimation
of this sort was given in the report
of an interview with Mr.. Dorshcimer,
published day or two after the first
meeting OF the thermometers. The ques-
ton being put to him point blank whether he
would vote for Mr.. Tilden if nominated he
avoided direct answer, but said, in effect,
that if the Republicans should nominate Cen
eral Grant he would vote for Mr.. Til
den or anybody to defeat him. Now
Mr.. Dorsheimer is a practical politician

THE TRIBUNEs canvass of Pennsylvania
upon the Presidential question showed an
overwhelming preference for Mr.. Blaine among
the working Republicans of that State winch

vainly trying ever since to explain away.
canvass by business firm IN Washington OF
a large number of weekly newspapers scat
tered all over the cOuntry-a canvass made
for purely business purposes as The TRIBUNE
explained at the tme-showed precisely the
same thing. Still another canvass has now
been made of an entirely different character,
with results no less significant. At the town
meetings in NewH Hampshire efforts were made
to elicit the preferences Of Republicans About
5000 of these votes have thus far been re-
ported, Of which Mr. Blaine received l,o9O,
General Grant 693, and Senator Edmunds
524. Mr.. Blaine gets nearly three times rs
many votes as General Grant, and has an
actual majority over all, if the ballots which
merely declared for the nominee OF the
a. Chica0o Convention are left out of consider
alton. In The TRIBUNE's PENNSYLVANIA can
vass Mr.. Blaine has received more than four
times as many votes as Grant; in the Wash
ington canvass above referred to the number
of newspapers reported to favor Grant was
barely one-thrd of the number favorng
Blaine. Facts like these are not mere coinci-
denCes. They indicate a strong current ID
popular sentiment.

The act of greatest general interest done by
the New Jersey Legislature which has just
adjourned, was the adoption of the biennial
sessions amendment to the Constitution, which
the Senate first voted down and then voted
UP. The amendment must still pass the ordeal
of another Legislature, but the iiist long stride
toward its incorporation into the Constitution
has been achieved. The final result is a vie
tory for the advocates of fewer sessions, and
not defeat, as the first vote the other day
seemed TO insure.

Hon. George z. Mapes.

We notice by the VeDango County
Republican papers that Hon George
E. Mspes is announced as candidate
for denomination to the Legislature
from that county. From the recent ex-
perience we have had in this State il
would seem that such men as Mr.
Mapes are needed and should be con.
tinued in the Legislature. Next to Mr..
Wolfe be was foremost in exposing
the corrupt practices of the last session,
which ended in the arrest and trial ol
the persons recently convicted at Har-
risburg. To take the stand that he and
Mr.. Wolfe and a few others did take,
requires . courage and honesty rather
rare in members Of the Legislature in
these days. He is an honest man with
honest purposes, and our Republi-
can neighbors Of Venango county
should take pride in having such man
as George 4. Mapes to represent them.
If such men are continued in our Leg
isIative Halls, we will soon hear no
more Of bribery and corrupt solicita-
tion Of members.
