NEW YORK.

OAe
Recent kilograms from New York
again bring to western democrats
cheering news. Once more there is
hope of renewed democratic suprem-
acy in that State. The democracy
which met in convention at Syracuse,
have nominated Grover Cleveland,
present mayor Of Buffalo, a young
man of great promise, who heretofore
has not been mixed up in any of his
party's scisms, but is acceptable alike
to the country and city democracy,
and to Tammany and Irving Halls,
and to the anti-monopolists, all of
whom participated in his nomination
and pledged themselves to his sup
port.
On the other hand, the republicans
Of the Empire State are divided into
two bitterly ~contending factions, in
both Of which are stalwarts and half
breeds, effective and experienced po-
litical workers with no interests but
their own to advance, engaged in a
contest for place that is likely to lead
to something more than loud talk in
conventions-men who make politics
pay, and are not to be baked with
out a struggle. Which ever Of these
factions comes out uppermost will put
the other on short rations, and
there will be no compromise, because
there are not fat offices enough even
in that extensive state to 60 round.
On both sides, as in Missouri, are
''bosses" who would rather see the
state given to the democrats than to
their opponents. Under such circum-
stances the road to democratic victory
in New York has been so plain that
that party could scarcely have missed
awaiting itself Of it. The convention
at Syracuse had no other business
before it than to pick out an accepta-
BILE candidate, and it did 30. There
are always fifty thousand floating
voters in New York outside of parties
casting their votes for the best man,
and these have been undoubtedly Sc
cured for the democratic nominee.
On the republican side unfolding
Folger, who has accepted the nominal
ton for governor, are arranged ma
chinery bosses, the administration and
Jay Gould-a very heavy weight truly
to carry, but patronage and money
always do much in New York.
Besides the stake is a vast one, for
as New York goes now that state will
probably 60 also in the next presi-
dental election.

Evening journal, a paper that has
always heretofore carried the republi-
can ticket at the head of its columns,
thus speaks: 1.-THE convention which
evolved the nomination of Folger last
night from the chaos of a turbulent
body and incapable chairman, was
not the convention which the people
elected at the primaries. Treachery,
greed, cowardice ran a swift race
through the hotel corridors at Sarato.
