POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

BS5- "Take me as your candidate,
pay what you owe me, or 90 without
the Electoral vote of New York" is
Tilden's modest demand on the Cincin-
natl Convention.-Dayto11 (OhioJ Jour
nal.
B1g~ Field on the Election laws, Field
on negro jurors, and Field on Pacific
Railways will be rich reading if the
Cincinnati Convention nominates him
for the Presidency. A more bigoted
Bourbon than Field doesn't live.
R6s" The Republican party demands
fair elections and no frauds, while the
Democracy want free frauds and no
election. There is no instance on rec
ord of the latter favoring law to re-
strain election frauds. = Indianapolis
Journal.
BS7" In Governor Garoelon's speech
at Auburn, Me-, Saturday night, he
said that if the voters believed he had
fearlessly performed his duty under
the law and the Constitution, he wanted
them to vote the Democratic ticket on
Monday; but if they did not so believe,
then they ought to vote the Republi-
can ticket. They complied with the
request and gave Republican maiori-
ty of 449. Last year the Republican
majority was eleven.-DetrOH Post and
Tribune.
Bss- A meeting of Tammany Hall
Democrats was held the other evening
in New York City, about eight hundred
being present, and from the character
of the speeches made and the applause
which was evoked by expressions of
undying enmity to Tildenism it was
evident that Tammany has not buried
the hatchet, but has it in hand, sharp
as to edge and threateningly poised,
ready for the renewal of last Novem-
ber's fierce and successful fight against
Tilden. The braves who followed the
lead of John Kelly have just sounded
the war-whoop again, and it behooves
the ancient usufruct to look sharp after
his scalp.
Bdy> Dorsheimer, Belmont, and the
other Bourbon peacemakers in New
York have met with a rebuff from
Gramercy Park. One of their agents
called on Mr.. Tilden for the purpose of
suggesting to the old man that he and
John Kelly withdraw from the field of
politics and permit the Democrats of
the Empire State to close the bloody
chasm and unite under a common
leader To this the venerable cipherer
replied that if anybody retreats it must
be Kelly; that the cause which he 9TH
deny represents is a National one, and
that Kelly is but a gross type of award
politician, who, but for his conduct at
st. Louis, would never have been heard
of outside the purlieus of New York.
BSg- Since the 3Oth of last June,
United States Marshals all over the
country have been discharging their du-
ties without receiving a cent from the
National Treasury. This is due to the
fact that Congress adjourned at the
extra session without making an appro-
priation for their payment, this being
part of the Democratic plan to bulldoze
and embarrass the Government. The
Deficiency bill to pay the Marshals,
which win come up soon, is almost GER
tain to provoke lively debate, and may
open up the same field which was trav-
ersed during the extra session. The
Democrats are trying very hard to sup
press their gall, but this measure win
test their self-control to the utmost. 1t
is eminently right and just in itself, but
for that very reason is hateful to the
Democracy, y,-IadiGnqpolis Journal,
