to the Administration that III mas uono "V''
lutely all it can adord in the way OF loae'hg
the ticket it wants to elect. The htt'Vuue ..
the Presidents intimate friend, "Steve .
French. is monstrous. THIS third-rate ward
politician. when caught utterng forged paper,
actually tries TO vindicate himself by telling
how in the name of the Administration he had
tried to bully the most important federai
oflicehoder in New York to abandon us
position -and enter into active work for the AL
minstration candidate. The course oil MI
Plat Carpenter and his speedy reward are not
calculated to win high minded support.
The warfare upon Governor whose services
the convention approved necessarily leaves a
great deal of bitterness. The campaign can
bc so organized as to intensity 1t. but II 'nc
Administration can afford this, then prece-
dents in politics are worthless. 10 dcieat INC
Democratic ticket Yesterday nominated anu
now supported by united Democracy, Is TASK
requiring the utmost wisdom and strength Oh
the whole Republican party of New 1Ork' AU
least one-half OF them were more or less as
satisfied with the work at Saratoga. The I'M
peratve necessity of the campaign is Tor the
yictors to avoid fomenting that discomfort.
Some of the other names on the Democratic
ticket add to its strength. Mr.. Hill, the con-
yention's choice for Leutcnant-GC vernon. IS the
Mayor of Elmra and the proprietor OF news
paper in his town. He has long been an ardent
admircr of Mr. Tilden and great worker III

his faithfulness. General Socum is a strong
candidate for Large, and will
be sure TO command more than the full vote OF

Judge of the Court of Appeals is prominent
lawyer of Syracuse. He made reputation
few years ago by his defence in the suits
against the Canal Ring thieves.
The Democratic platform adopted at SYRIA
cuse contains as many fine sentiments as were
to be expected from a party that never hesl-
tates TO promise everything, because 1t never
hestates to break its word. The Republican
party is of course charged with being guilty
of all evils and abuses, and especially with the
failure TO reduce taxation. Considering that every
measure which the Republicans introduced IN
Congress at the last session to Tighten the
taxes was steadily opposed by the Democrats,
this is cool The condemnation of the National
Administrations interference in State politics,
deserved as 1t is comes with poor grace from
politicians whose use of patronage of all kinds
TO accomplish their ends is rs notorious rs 1t Is
lameess On the same level are the declara-
tons against political assessments and I'D favor
of pure elections. 1t was ridiculous above all 1"
praise Governor Cornell Tor vctOngtbe measures
the Democrats in the Assembly had supported.
There is the usual bid for the Irish vote with
a plank for the dissatisfied members of the
National Guard to stand Upon. Then comes a
dodge on the laws relating TO our mercantile
marine, while nothing is said about tariff
." for revenue only" or any tariff at all. The
workngmen are appealed to in several anti
monopoly paragraphs with truly olcomar-
Carine flavor.
