All efforts within the state to harmonic the
New York democracy having failed, that duty

The Cincinnati convention cannot escape or

The Cincinnati convention will, it 1,

The disposition to crush Tammany is only
manifested by the clique of Tilden democrats
There is. no doubt, within the democracy a
widespread feeling that John Kelly, by his bolt
last fall, committed grave offense, and were

followers, il would be done. But the democrats
realize their dependence upon Tammany, and
therein lies the secret of the power the latter
will have at Cincinnati. The convention Will,
In all probability, give the Tammany party a
representation in the New York delegation In
proportion TO the number Of votes cast for
John Kelly last year. This will, no
doubt be unsatisfactory to the Tiiden-
lies, but they will be preciuded from
making any fuss over 1t by reason Of the fact
that their leader was once boiter and got back
INTO the party upon the same terms now sug-

The Chicago Inter Ocean having been
asked by correspondent il it is in favor
of civi! service reform replies as follows
"Yes, the Inter Ocean is in favor of civil
service reform. ltwould turn every dem
ocrat out of office who has displaced a
crippled soldier under the rule of a DEM
ocratic Congress. The Inter Ocean would
require all men appointed to office to be
honest. capable, faithful, and republicans,
and would give crippled soldiers the pref
erence, all other things being equal. When
the people place a republican administra-
ton in power. they mean that the busi-
ness of the government shall be entrusted
to republicans, and that every appointee
should be in full sympathy with the prin-
ciples of that party. The United
States Government is as we'll managed as
any on the face of the globe our civil SER
vice will compare well with the service in
any large mercantile or commercial insti-
tuition, controlled either by private indi-
viduals or by corporation. The men
who are always talking about reform
are almost universally those who have
been unsuccessful in seeking office,
and The Inter-Ocean has no SYM
pathy with them. Nor has it sympathy
with theorists. Men like John Sherman
and the late Senator Chandler, of practi-
cal business sense and experience. are
never heard advocating theories. nor de-
manding civil service commissions. vet
the two men named were the most capa-
BILE executives this government has seen
