D1RK HORSE CANOIDlTES.

There il one feature of the present canvass IN
this State which should not be overlooked.
That is the encouragement given to the
political aspirations OF municipal candidates.
The Democrats have nominated for Governor
Il respectable lawyer whose reputation is con-
fined to his own city. The honor il con-
ferred upon him simply because he has been
an efficient Mayor during n single term OF Office
and has made n judiclous use OF his veto
power The candidate for Lieutenant-GOv-
ernor on the same ticket is also Mayor, and
General Socum, who has received the nom
ination for Congressman-at-L Large, played
conspicuous part in the municipal canvass
in Brooklyn year ago, being Tor many
months a candidate for Mayor and only with
drawing at the last moment. The Democrats
have, therefore, placed in nomination COM
bination Mayors ticket. Their candidates are
mainly known in the localities where they live,
and their political aspirations are grounded
upon zeal, capacity and intelligence displayed
in matters of municipal government. On the
Republican side, only one of the four candi-
dates has made a reputation in local admins
tration, Judge Andrews having been Mayor OF
Syracuse during three terms. But the
BROOKLYN Young Republicans are already nod
ding their heads with the premature gravity
of veterans-perhaps the oldest of them are
even tipping one another the peculiar political
wink which comes only after prolonged prac
tice-and predicting a future for Mayor Low
as man WHO represents principles and is
accumulating local strength. 1t is possible
that he will have the course to himself one OF
these days, when it is apparent that pOiiti
cal hacks will break down. SO evidence il
not wanting Of a disposition even on the Re-
publican side to look upon Mayors as the Dark
Horses of the future.
This is a tendency by no means alarming.
Considered merely rs a matter of abstract poll
ties, without reference to the rival tickets now
i'm the field in this State, the promotion of
efficient and reputable Mayors who have
acquired experience in municipal admnIsua-
ton and eyinced sagacity and independence
in yetoing local jobs, would be movement In
the direction OF purer and more elective gov
ernment. In order that Republicans may APP
preciaIe this remark, let us lose sight of Mr..
Grover Cleveland, the Democrat, and assume
that IN the course of few years MIR. Seth
Low, the Republican, will he nominated for
Governor simply on the strength OF the prlnci-
plies he represents and the record he IS making
rs an efficient Mayor. Viewed abstractly, his
experience in the minor Office would baye edu-

GENFRAI BTTLEP'S VOOTNG.


General Butler is really carrying it too far.
After a long and exciting struggle he has sue
ceeded in "bOttling" the whole Democratic
party Of Massachusetts, but no sooner has he
clapped the stopper in than he turns about and
remarks that he doubts if the collection is
worth keeping after all. He says carelessly
that he hears that during his absence on
vacation he has been nominated for Governor
by two parties, the GreeDback and the Dem
ocratic, and adds that he is undecided whether
to accept one nomination or both or neither.
1t is matter of profound Indifference to him,
evidently. He enjoyed the chase while 1t
lasted, but now it Is ended he does not care
much about the game. We are of the opinion
that the game is quite worthless, but tlat does
not Justify the Generals hcartlessneas III speak
ing contemptuously OF it in publr He ought
to have some charity for the feelings of the
victims Has he forgotten the different steps
by which he reached ms present DostionR
II is five years since he began his rOugh-and
tumble wooing of the Massachusetts De-
mocracy. They did not take TO his advances at
all kindly. For several years previous he had
laid siege to the Republican party, and the
Democrats had been standing about holding
their sides at the roaring fun of the perform
ance. The Republican party was good deal
agtated by the successive attacks of the Cen
eral, but as it emerged from each one little
more vigorous than when it entered, he be-
came convinced of the hOpelessness of cOntinu

NO RECOMMEND" FROM ITS LIST PLACE.
The platform adopted by the late Democratic
State Convention is remarkable for one OF us
omissions 1t Omts any reference, direct or IN
direct. to the fact that the Democracy CON
trolled both branches of the Legislature ol
1882. 1t is impossible to believe that the
omission WAS accidental. How then, is 1t
TO be accounted for ?
1t can be accounted for on only one theory.
The gentlemen intrusted with the task OF con-
structing the platform realized what all intelH-
GENT gentlemen in both parties realized, that the
course of the last Legislature was character
ized by so much of narrow, selfish partisanshlp
and so little of devotion to the general good that
to refer to it in Just terms would be to utter
a fresh Indictment of the Democratic party.
Ii was impossible for the Committee on Rcsolu-
tions to point with pride to the last Legis-
lature, and so thev determined not to point 10
it at all, forgetting that their silence would be
interpreted as a significant confession. How
bapDy the committee and the convention would
have been il they had been warranted in IN
Producing into the platform some such plank as
this:
Pesoired That a. guarantee of what the Democracy
of Ne-Y or win accomplish with the executive branch oi
III T. !
it many usrous achievements in the Legislature Of
1850 Intrsted with the rcn Of power in both Senate
and Assembly II devoted itself from the beginning to the
end of the session those measures and those only
which were calculated 10 advance the varied interests o
this great Commonwealth 1t heartily invites every tax
pavcr closely to scnize its record a, 1t appears ID ta
LEGISLATURE being confident that the closer the record is
studied the fr1ner will be the hold Of the Democracy
upon candid electors.
And vet in the enforced absence from the
platform of anything corresponding to the
above, the Democracy has the amazing hardI-
hood TO invite level headed men to support IFS
ticket. Level-headed men will shake Their
heads and decline, saying to the party; on
have no recommend from your last place, ana
" that by itself is enough to condemn you. Had
"you been a good and faithful servant IN the
9Legslature of 1882, then you might ask for an
"extenson of your political power with a falr
@exDectation of success. AS it is, you have no
"right to expect anything but defeat. You have
"richly earned that. You promise superbly in
"yourplatform, but you performed disgracefully
from January first until the session was over
. Reading your promises in the light of your
performances, we decline to receive them at
"anythng like par value. You say that you
shave principles we are merely convinced that
"you have an appetite"
Platforms in and of themselves amount to
less than nothing. They are to he reckOned the
vainest sort of vanity. The devil can quote
scripture for his purpose but no one argues a
change of heart from the quotations. The
Syracuse resolutions considered apart from the
organization that put them forth contain much
that is cOmmendable But as it is, they are
calculated merely to provoke dersiye smile.
