Tammany's enthusiasm for the State ticket does
not exactly efiervesce. 1t is at full low pressure
as the CrotOn Is.
Voorhees, career as reformed tariff man has
been brilliant but brief. man who undertakes the
job of wipug out the Democratic record for quar-
ter of century is to be admired for his audac-
ity than for his intelligence. Voorhees, saw that
free trade was not success as party issue, so he
changed his convictions at once and attempted 10
perform the same job for his whole party. lie has
possibly discovered by this time that he undertook
too much
So it seems that Mr. o. b. Potters scruples as
civil service reformer would not let him pay the
Democratic assessment of $4,000 for the privilege
of running for Congress Still, he will probably re-
main quiol" in the party which levied the assess
ment--and wait for a chance to run which has
chance OF success attached
There is an excellent prospect for Democratic
catastrophe in this State next week.
Hendricks is a wiser man than Voorhees,, and
should give him little fatherly advice in this try
ing emergency. Voorhees, has never run for the
Presidency before, and he makes the mistake of all
beginners in being too unanimous. Hendricks has
had great experience He has been a Presidential
candidate in advance in four years since 1885
lie has always stopped running when the National
Convention met, but he has come up fresh ana

The Virginia Bourbons must be pretty well
discouraged when the possible loss Of small post
masership throws them into panic.
This interesting information about some of the
star Route operators is furnished by the Washing
ton correspondent of The Cincinnati Commercial !:
Dorsey has just arrived here from his cattle
rancho looking better than he has for years Brady,
Dorsey and the rest of their coterie wear smiling
faces. They are certain, they say. that they
will never be punished, but it has cost Brady
pretty penny He bought, at the beginning of the
late investigations outright, newspaper and one
by has acquired control of three or four Others
by furnishing their nominal owners with the means
necessary o. their existence. In addition, he has
supported those clerks and contractors who nave
been thrown on their beam ends by the expose OF
the rings doings and has paid their counsel fees
IL has been heavy drain on him, and his barrel Is
much smaller than II was"
If the Democratic party hopes to conceal its free
trade record it must first muzzle Mr.. WattersOn He
is prepared and determined to tell tho whole truth
on that subject at every opportunity.
John Kclly's newspapers remark of the Demo-
cratic State ticket that it pretty hard dose and it
may disagree with the Tammany Democrats if they
swallow IT, but it is all the drink that is offered, and
enthusiasm.
