The last desperate DAYS of the defeated
Democracy are upon them. Ten days from
now the election occurs. The tide is running
overwhelmingly against them, and not one IN e
telligent man in hundred among them doubts
that the chances are seriously against them.
Rut the stake is sc enormous that they ale
ready for every reckless device TO avert defeat
They think their only hope is in INSCRIPTIONS,
nrofuse, persistent campaign lies, and so the
whole ingenuity of their campaign force Is
turned into this channel. One roorback day is
the rule.
First i was the forgery of a letter from
Garfield so clumsy that in at least three differ
ent ways it instantly exposed itself.
Next came their preposterous story OF Repub-
lcan colonization OF Florida, State which was
Republican in 1876 anyway, and winch moth
inc but bulldozing can make anything else IN
1880.
What will be the new roorback to-day? An
other is due.

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.

We are justified in regarding the RepuDllcan
local nominations as having been made 1he
action of the Committee was unanimous In
every instance, and will doubtless be Iatitied by
the Conv ention. The ticket is good one. 1t
should and can be elected.
Mr.. William Dowd, the candidate for Mayor,
is n citizen whose name will be guarantee to
every business man in the city that, if he should
be elected, the municipal Government would
be administered on business principles Tins
is the great desire OF citizens OF all parties, VINO
care little about the politics of Mayor. The
ticket is Clean throughout. Judge Russell, who
has been nominated for Superior Court Judge,
was selected tor the place upon the death OF
Chief Justice Curtis, and has performed his
duties most acceptaby. He is strong young
man of high chaIacter-a bright contrast to the
untaithiul lawyer whom tie Democrats have
named for the same place. Mr.. Hess, the can
didate for Register, is popular with tie Gel
mans. Mr.. Rollins the candidate for Recorder,
made an excellent reputation, both for ability
and character, us Assistant Distinct Attorney.

vacancy caused by Judge Sinnott's death

The TRIBUNE yesterday, ian exception

didate for Mayor is intensely unpop
uIar in his own party, and his nomlna-
ton has been received with grave dissatisfac
ton by large numbers of persons without regard
to politics. The candidate for Superior
| Court judge will probably be forced of the
ticket bv the disclosures affecting his personal
character. and one or two others on the ticket
may find themselves in the sane predicament'
The candidate for Register was deputy Ill that
office when Mr.. Loew pleaded that the Illegal
and fraudulent acts with which he was charged
were committed by his deputy and clerks with
out his knowledge. This ticket ought to be

NEW. yOEE CITY IN CONGRESS.

Three nominations have been made by the
Republicans for Congress III this city which are
peculiarly deserving of approval. They have
been made in Districts now represented in the
House by Republicans We take it, Therefore G,
that they will be ratified at the polls.
In the With District, Mr.. William W. Aston
has been unanimously nominated. 1t Will take
work to carry the District, but it can be done.
The election of Mr.. Einstein, the present Re-
publican member, two ears ago, was no doubt
aided by the combination with Anti-Tammany.
But in 1874. the year of the Democratic tidal
! wave, 90 popular Democrat as Smith Ely, jr.,
had a majority of only 1,271. The election
four years ago went overwhelmingly Demo
cratic. but that was because political lunatc
by the name of Groom in some mysterious
manner captured the Republican nomination.
Mr.. Aston can be elected, and should be. He
has had an excellent legislative experience,
having served in both houses OF the Legislature,
and he must be known To every voter as young
man OF ir1eproachable character. He belongs
70 :. family who have established a world wide
reputation for prObity. lie is one of small
class of young men who are deyOting them
selves to Il public career in dead earnest, unlike

for example, who focl ses his intellect on polo
and runs for Congress az q diversion. We
hope the voters of both parties In the With
Congress onal District will seize the cpportu-
pity 10 secure a member so worthy to represent
part of this city III Congress.
General Arson q. McC0Ok, who has been
nominated in the With District doubtless has
his calling aud election sure. lie has been
twice elected, the Last time by greatly in.
creased majority, and his third nomination was
Just tribute from constituency who know
that they have secured capable and faithful
representative, and propose to retain him. We
lock for majority for General McCook Iun-
ming well up among the Thousands
Mr.. Morton, the present Congressman from the

constituents. He has distinguished himself
in the House of Representatives by steady
championship of hard money doctrines ana is'
in every way, an agreeable exception to the
class of men who too often represent the City
of New York in the lower branch OF Congress.
Mr. Morton's majority will be heavy ana all
of 1t will be deserved.
These Districts must be held, and we beileVe
they will be. With the Democratic factlohs
united on most of the nominate ons for Coh-
gress, it will be difficult for the Republicans 70
make gains on the number of Congressman
secured two years ago. But the effort VIII he
made. and wisely. Mean while, let us make
sure of the return Of Mr. Morton, General Nc
Cook, and Mr. Aston.

WHERE THE "REVENUE Tariff" CAME
FRON.

General Hancock can no more shake OIL the
tariff for revenue only" than he can the
support of the Solid South. That is
where the tariff for revenue idea has
always been nurtured it is from that quar-
ter it has always been thrust into our
politics. Look at this plank from the
Democratic platform, and then at the clause IN
the Constitution of the Rebel Confederacy,
which may fairly be said to have furnished
its inspiration
