New-York tribune., 1881-09-02

What is wanted in this State is neither Half
Breed nor Stalwart victory but Republican vic
tory.
The Democratic party is sour all the way through,
and 1t has reason to be.
1t is announced as the conviction of persons who
have come in contact with the gifted Hendricks re-
Gently that he has Presidential hopes for 1854.
Tilden is credited with similar aspirations Let us
hope both differences are true, and that both
men will find place tho Democratic ticket for
1884. 1t makes no difference which one has tho
head or which the tail The country would enjoy
nothing better than chance to get a whack at the
old combination. Both men would be willing to re-
main quiet afterward.
Why any Republican should wish to cling to tho
name ofStalwart is the crownIng mystery of this
period.
The Ohio State Christian Temperance Union has
decided not to support the Prohibition ticket headed
by cider and wine press manufacturer and has
declared officially to that effect saying that it will
continue non-partisan moral suasion wars as the
best IN cans of accomplishing the most good This
ls sensible step, and there is good for be-
ievng 1t will be approved by large majority of the
temperance people of Ohio. The plan of helping
promDltion by voting to put the Democratic party
IN power is not likely to be Overwhelmingly pop
ular.
1t is remarked by sangIine Democrats that John
Kelly is completely outside the Democratic party
There will be evidence in November TO show he has
company enough to keep him from being lonesome.
The Mississippi Bourbons are both mad and scared
The ong-looked-for split in the Solid South is thus
announced.
1t should not be forgotten that when the Presi-
dent was believed TO be dying the organ of the Star
Route thieves i'll Washington, with characteristic
indecency, remarked that the Attorney General
would soon be turned ont of Office. 1t would be
difficult to frame more adequate certificate of his
fitness for his office than this declaration.
A moving address has been issued by the Demo-
cratic State Committee of Mississippi beseeching all
members of the party TO vote for the Bourbon NOM
inee for Governor. The Committee declare that the
election of the Republican ticket will restore all the
miseries of carpet-bag rule. though they know very
we'll that nothing of the kind all likely TO fol-
low such result The most interesting part of their
address, however, is this passage " This opposition
party attempts to tender the issue of an honest cleo
ton when ii is we'll known that the intimation that
the Democratic party is opposed to an honest ballot
and fair count is unfounded in fact and we now
denounce and declare untrue any charge or mtima-
ton that the Democratic party favors directly or
indirectly, any lllegaties unfarness in elections
Nothing less than sublime is tho impudence which
enables men TO address that sort of information to
party which has stolen the State of Mississippi at
every election Tor the past five years.
The Irving Hall Democrats met on Wednesday
evening and passed somo cordial resolutions of sym
pathy for the afflicted President. Tho Republican
State Committee also met on Wednesday, but it did
not pass any similar resolutions. II did elect ex-
Senator Platt temporary chairman, however Per-
maps TINS lis why we are told exutmgly by the
late organs OF Mr. Conlling that the Stalwarts ad
d large majority i'll the Committee.
