their fortunes, like gold diggers who es-

give the Voter q Chance.

In Tammany loud voices are heard
protesting against John kelley's man-
agement, and against the policy of hav-
ing the admitted leader of the organiZa-
tiOn holding lucrative city Office ;
Irving hall has already divided into two
organizations: the young Democracy of
New York city are organizing on a new
basis, and altogether the work of disin-
tegrating the inner societies in the Dem
ocratic party there is going on at lively
rate. The wheels within the wheels are
having the spokes knocked out of them.
The process may continue until in the
fullness of time the individuality of the
New York city Democrats may have a
chance to assert itself, and the party
management be remanded to where it
belOngs-wuh the voters of the party.
If we understand anything about the
democratic principles of Democracy,
indeed if any one thing be palmer in
them than all others, it is this right of
the individual voter to participate, at
some stage of the proceedings, in the
party direction, ol level with every
other individual voter. The plan which
puts the management, the nominations,
the caucusses and the selection of dele
gates to state conventions into the
hands of 4 self-constituted associ-
alton. whatever its name, its mo-
ives or its management, is improper,
unGemocratic and inevitably leads to the
arbitrary exercise of power and the ruin
of the party What the New York
Democracy needs is to take the power of
controlling it out of the hands of all as
sociations, to disregard them all, to shut
out from conventions all delegations who
come with any brand on them or any Gre
dentials except those Of the great body of
Democratic voters, meeting at primaries,
where every individual voter is privi-
legged to cast his ballot and assert his
opinion.
Tammany, Irving Hall, the Young De-
mocracy and as many more associations
rs choose to organize may be tolerated
in their own spheres, as factors of the
Democratic party, but to give any one of
them or to divide among them all the
rights of the voters themselves to consti-
tute the authoritative organization of the
party is to wrongfully delegate power
which is almost certain to he abused.

this mercantile view of their right of
suffrage. They constitute by long odds the
determining class at every election.
They are for sale to the highest bidder.
Each party has an element of members
who expect to be paid to vote as their
supposed convictions incline tkem to
vote, and who possibly wouldn't sell
themselves to the other side, but expect
to he paid for staying on their own.
Between the parties, and ready to fall to
either as circumstance" determine,
is larger element which, under some
guise or other, is in the market. The
people who make up this class are num-
erous enough to decide every election
that is seriously battled, and the worst
Of it is that most of them have nc
sense of shame nor disgrace in
their position, but justify it as 9
warrantable one. 1t is about time

for sale awaken to the danger of thi!
state of things. 1t is, of course, of grea'

is of good deal more Importance
