AT the primaries of the County" OF
regular Democracy of New York City on
Wednesday last, over 10000 votes were
cast in the election of delegates to the
District Committees. The voting was
viva vOce, each electOr giving the elec-
tiOn officers his name. residence and
choice for delegate. This is the best
organization the New York Democrats
have ever had. as the elections are repre-
sentative, the boss system being care
fully eliminated. John Kelly's Tdmmany
elections were held day or two before,
and were a very simple matter. The
"B jss sent around list of the dele Gates
he desired, and few of his henchmen
got together in each district and ratified
it. The charge has been made in re-
putable papers that Arthur and Kelly
have an understanding and the latter
will join forces with the Republicans in
organizing the New York Legislature
next week.-[Pittsburgh Post, 31st ult.

THE st. Louis GlObe-DemOcrat figures
it out for Mr.. Hayes in this way: MIR.
Hayes pretends that he saved nothing
of the salaTy-by many alleged to have
belonged to Samuel J. Tilden-which
he drew mOnthlyin advance, and there
fore in violation of law, to the amount
of 100000. Then he must have lost it
at poker or some other game. He
never spent $4,000 year for keeping
up the White House. When the cost of
diving was at least twice what it is
now, Mr.. Lincoln maintained the v hite
House in excellent style, and saved 35O,-
000 in four years on a salary of Just
half that received by Mr.. Hayes.

Herald.
Our esteemed and illustriOus cOtem-
pOrary, the STARK COUNTY DEMOCRAT,
seems to have entirely forgotten the
alleged reverend dads" of the Demo-
cracy. 1t may revive somewhat after
the regular Wooster rally Repository.
If neglectful we are glad to be re-
minded, for Thomas Jefferson was the
author of the immortal Declaration of
American Independence, and is entitled
TO the lasting gratitude of all patriots,
and also for the overthrow in 1900 of old
Federalism, the parental ancestor of
the present Republican party.
jackson also did several things to en-
title him to the gratitude of patriotic
Americans. He closed the war of 1872
at New Orleans in blaze of glory, by
thrashing the British army in way
not often done. He also crushed out the
National United States bank and paid
OlA NhO NdulOhdl uopo uuiihS MS ou
ministratiOn. He, too, was the mortal
foe Of monopoly and injustice. Both
were opposed to the general Govern
ment being run in the interest of the
privileged few that they might rob and
plunder honest labor. Hence, they
opposed protective tariff schemes and
national bank schemes, and monopoly
and plumber in general.

THE Democrats of Newark scored an
unexpected and most valuable triumph
a few days ago. The New Jersey As
sembly, as elected last November, was a
tie politically, containing thirty Demo-
Gratis and thirty Republicans. One of
the latter, elected by the Overwhelm-
ingly Republican city of Newark, died
and left a vacancy. The Governor of
New Jersey could have delayed writ
for new election until after the Organi-
cation of the body, and thus given the
Democrats that organization. But,
being a Democrat and an honest man,
he declined to take this partisan ad-
vantage, and issued writ at once. The
Democrats nominated eX-MayOT Fielder,
a wealthy German business man. The
Republicans put upa millionaire Ger
man brewer. Ordinarily the latter
would have been elected by 1000 ma
jOrity or more. But the recent develop
ments Ofawbelesale theft of public funds
by such eminent Republicans as Cashier
Baldwin, Auditor Palmer and COmptrol-
ler's Clerk Paul, seem to have soured the
Newark people upon the Party of Moral
Ideas, and they turned around and
elected the Democrat by very emphatic
vote. The Assembly thus stands thirty
one Democrats to twenty-nine Republi-
cans, and will be in condition to aid
Governor Ludlow in giving New Jersey
good gOVernment.-IEx Exchange.

Is it not "that sublime element that

WE are for Samuel j. Tilden for Pres

ONE Of the New York naners assf

ONE of the New York papers asserts
that during President Arthur's recent
visit to New York, he was waited on by
delegation Of local politicians and
discussed with them appointments of
weighers in the Custom House. 1t is
tOlerably clear he had some sort of an
understanding with John Kelly and the
Tammany faction, or rather renewed
the old coalition. With all his assImp-
tiOns of dignity, Arthur's idea of the
Presidential office is that it is only an
instrumentality to cement the hold of
the Stalwart faction on patronage and
pOwer.-Pltlsburgh Post.

WHY is it that the great statesmen
who are so anxious to make a market
for protected class, and to compel us
to buy in the market and at the prices
which they have fixed for us, do not
discuss some plan to make markets or
keep open markets for the products of
our farms? Why do we not hear of
plans for supplying, out of the Treas
ury, destitute farmers with mowers and
reapers, and for giving subsidies to
build cheese factories and hOp-hOuses,
as well as money to build and run
steamships for a syndicate of ship
owners Utica n. Y. Observer.

Garfield Republican, speaks of the new
Postmaster General:
The President has dragged Mr.. limo
thy o. Howe, of Wisconsin, from the
political Obscurity into which he was
rapidly sinking, and has placed him at
the head of the POstOffice Department.
1t is to be feared that it will only re-
quire the presence of an able and un-
scrupulOus deputy in the department to
reduce it's administration to the level of
the BRADY and Tyner period and to ac-
cumulate as uncomfortable legacy of
mismanagement as met Mr.. James on
his accession to office.
