The reorganization of the Democratic
party Of New York city outside of both
Tammany and Irving Halls, is a matter

York is unqucstionably the pivotal State

Presidential election. 1t is naturally a

these the President to be inaugurated on

York turned the scale against him., and
the way it was done deserves the severcst

providence Special Dec, 27) to Chicago Trib.

Not long ago the friends and advisers
of Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague concluded
that the filing of her bill sfor divorce
should be supplemented by some kind of
story coming from an apparently au-
lucrative source tinat should relieve Sen
ator COnkling from the odium that has
rested upon him ever since the shotgun
episode at Canonchet, in which he PLAYED
such ridiculous and humilating part.
AS is well known, the most strenuous eff
forts were made by both parties at the
time of the occurrence to hush the matter
up, and until very recently no authorized
statement has been made by either party
The move of this kind was made by
Austin Corbin,
WHO SUDDENLY BLOSSONIED FORTH
in New York Herald interview, the
apparent object of which was to clear
Conkling of the stigma of having been
run off the grounds at Canonchet by
Gov. Sprague with shotgun. In
the Corbin interview the following ap-
pears:
"Thcn you do not believe in the Canon
chet scandal"
"On the contrary, | know the whole
story. as manufactured by Gov. Spraguc
TO be entirely false-a pure, unadulter-
ated falsification-and the yarn that he
followed Mr. Conkling with shotgun is
so ridiculously untruthful, and known to
be so by a number of people, all at Can
Onchet at the time, that [ have no pa
thence to discuss it. There was not q
shotgun on the place. There was abso-
lutcly nothing whatever in that story-a
downright falsehood made up out of
whole cloth"

so-called Canonchet affair, and what con-
nection did Mr.. Conkling have with it ?''

openly declared that Gov. Robinson must
not be nominated, and if he should be able
to carry off the denomination he himself
would enter the field as an opposing can
didate. Robinson was nominated and
Kelly kept his word, receiving about
seventy three thousand votes, but little
more than enough to defeat the regular
nominee of the party. This action gave
the Republicans all the patronage of the
State-an immense lever upon the voters,
and sufficient to control at least twenty
thousand votes. The Presidential cleo
ton was practically settled in the guber-
material election of 1879, and no subse-
quent effort has been potent TO undo the
damage then done In addition to the
mendacity exhibited by Kelly in 1879, he
undertook to dictate the local nomina-
tions last fall, and after long wrangle
was permitted to do so. He placed so
many unpopular names before the people
that the Democratic nominee for MAYOR
only pulled through by the skin of his
teeth. These nominations added largely
to the Republican Presidential vote.
and completed the mischief begun the
previous year. He has begun to receive
the reward of his perfidy to the party to
which he has professed to belong. He
was first removed from the comptroller
ship, and afterwards his leadership of
Tammany Hall was repudiated by all the
more respectable members of that organi-
cation, who seeded in body.
This new organization of the partv
promises to absorb the greater part of the
leaders of Tammany and all of Irving
Hall, besides having some new blood in
fused into it that has never acknowledged
allegiance to either. 1t promises to leave
Kelly without a following. He and a
few others may endeavor to keep up the
Tammany organization for time, but if
wisdom governs those who have lnaugu
rated the new movement these attempts
will soon be abandoned as hopeless.
There is danger to the harmony of the
party, however, even in the club that
was formed on Tuesday night 1t is liza
bic to fall into the control of few who
may in time become as dictatorial as
Kelly has been. If such should be the
case the reform will be only temporary
one, and hardly worth the trouble of un-
dertaking. 1t must be popular society,
embracing the representatives of all
classes of citizens and representing no
special interest, There are many men
connected with it whose names are widely
known for their honesty, patriotism and
sincere desire for good government 1t
is to be hoped that they will use what
ever influence they possess to build up a
controlling organization, popular in it's
scope and perpetual in it's existence, and
destroy both of the old societies, root and
branch

designated sum for his lodging, asked to

Augustin Days famous comedy of can Ara

Mr.. Roland Reed, in the leading role. Tho
New Orleans Picayune says of Mr.. Reed:
''To look at Mr.. Reed, in the light of stran
ger, as he pursucs his quiet way along tho
street, one would take him for a theological
student rather than comedian--so like is thu
severe simplicity of his aspect to the outward
seeming of the asprant for ecclesiastical hon
ors. We are inclined to commend, in the in.
stance of Mr.. Reed, the dcceptiveness of ap.
pearances, the rather that by means of it we
came to know him for what he is--a comedian
of fine talent and culture, with an exquisite
sense of humor subservient to discriminating
taste and judgment. Whenever Mr.. Reeds art
has had fair play in reproduction, it has i'm

Illustration, to his characterization of Prefes-
