The New-Jersey Democratic platform begins
with large dish Of political platitudes rather
highly seasoned with Old State Rights
beresies, and ends with mess of fraud
twaddle. In the middle is a resolution that is
funny enough to make q horse laugh. 1t up
braids the Republican party for its temporiz-
ing financial policy and boasts of the
democratic doctrine thst q sound currency
with a specie basis is the best way Of secur-
"ing business stability" Now this from q
party that ran Thomas Ewing in Ohio only
last Fall on a soft-money platform; a party
that produced the Ohio idea, and has filled the
land for the past ten years with dishonest
and pestiferous notions about the currency;
party that has crowded the calendars of
Congress with bills for repeating the Resumption
act and for printing i1redeemable Rreenbacks
by the ton;-this, we cay, coming from such Il
party, is delicious. The cheek of these
Jersey Democrats is colossal. Their lies, like
Falstal1's, are "gross as q mountain, open,
"palpable." An uninstructed delegation to
Cincinnati, with variety of first choice pref
erences, but evidently open to the blandish
ments of Mr.. Tilden, was the tangible result
of the Convention.

Alabama appears to have sent a solid Grant
delegation to Chicago. short time ego the
friends of both Blaine and Sherman expected
to secure a portion of the delegation. but the
strenuous efforts of the third-term managers
in Washington have brought about different
result 1t would not be surprising if Louis
lana should be solidifed by the same iahu-
ences.
Yesterday the State Senate passed the Hep
burn bill forbidding discrimination in railway
rates, with the clause exempting through
freights stricken out. At the same time it
refused to substitute the Assembly bill for
its own. The Senate bill, which is much the
more moderate measure of the two, has now
fair chance to get through the Assembly and
go 10 the Governor.
The Blaine ball Is still rolling on over the
plains of the Far West. In the Nebraska Con-
vention, delegates favorable to his nomination
were chosen yesterday morning, after an all
nights session, by O vote Of 245 to 121, the
latter figure representing the strength of the
third termers. The two Dakota delegates are
SAID by one dispatch to be Blaine men, and by
another to be for Window If he has any
chance, and II not, then for Blaine.

Virginia gives no encouragement 10 Mr' III
denis candidacy. The result of the Convention
in that State, representing the party which
absurdy calls itself Conservative and IS in fact
intolerantly Democratic, is gentle lift to the
Field movement. The delegation to Cincinnati
is said to- be divided as to its first choice be-
tween Seymour, Field, Bayard, and Thurman;
but Judge Field got the benefit of most OF the
applause, and the drift of sentiment appeared
to run in his direction. His candidacy is now
fairly set in motion, and his friends will soon
have to face the question of whether they mean
to antagonize him to Tilden, or are only placing
him In O good position to have the political
mantle of that distinguished reformer fall upon
his shoulders In case the owner should let it
drop.
Mr.. Hassard's reports of the Cincinnati
Musical Festival show that Theodore Thomas
has won a fresh triumph of which he may well
feel proud. Not only is the orchestral work
excellent-thus much the public expected, and
had right to expect-but the chorus is sur
prisingly good, producing effects rarely heard
from large body of singers. Indeed, it seems
as capable of rendering finely modulated pas
sages demanding delicacy and feeling, as If it
were a single instrument in the hands OF the
master musician Such choral singing was
never heard in this country before, and to have
developed it Is new laurel for Mr.. Thomas.
The honor is mainly his, for without the most
skilful and patient training nothing could have
been made out of such a great army of amateurs;
but Cincinnati comes in for share, because the
fact that so much good material was available
for the directors art argues q high degree of
musical culture and enthusiasm in the Queen
City of the West.
