The first month of the Democratic fight at Albany,
at the public expense ends to-day, but there no
signs of a settlement. Why don't the able legisla-
| tors go home and confess that the people made a
| mistake IN electng themf
| Messrs Robinson and Cox are undoubtedly max
| ing Great Britain quiver-that is II Great Britain
| knows what they about Mr.. Robinson has de-
cared his purpose to "scnd over troops" to empty
the British prisons and LAY London in ashes by
our artillery" Mr.. Cox has declared that Mr.
! Gladstone has placed himself without the pale of
humanity, where he placed King Bomba thirty years
ago" This sort of belligerency places the gifted
! pair on a level with ODonOvan Rosa, who has been
| blowing up the commercial marine of Great Britain
and putting dynamite bombs under Mr. Gladstone
| for year past. England has permitted herself
once or twice TO become excited about Rosa, but
| when she hears of Robinson and Cox there is no
| telling what will happen.
Ben Hill continues to write column letter every
day or two, declaring his contempt for the alleged
independent movement in Georgia, which he says Is
of no account. Mr. Hill seems 10 be wasting a
good deal of valuable ammunition in fighting
| shadow-if his own statements are to be believed.
S. s. Cox making faces at the British Lion is the

cause not lost but sleeping. it makes me happy to
DO with YOU this day Your history is written in
my heart, your deeds craven the
tablets of the history Of heroes. 1t is
not, however the recollection of these
great deeds that gives most pleasure, but it ~
| the knowledge that they wrought in behalf of
grand principles that arc the very foundations of
the American Union-Statos' rights and selfgoyern-
mcnt 1t IS this knowledge that Pives most
pleasure You not conquered, but overbono
by vast odds and superior physical force" At the
close of the speech he swung to the other extreme
and uttered tie passage about uuSh2athng his
sword Cor the Union which was quoted III yester-
days TRIBUNE. The speech seems to show that
while he Is not ready yet to abandan bis Bourbon:
ism, he ~ DESTROYS OF showing that he Is capable OF

II is admitted by some of tho able Democratic
statesmen at Albany that their management of the
party quarrel has not been brilliant Is it possible!

badly damaged. 1t will be long time before an

how heartily everybody says " Goodbye" when ho
announces his retirement from politics.
For QUO month the Legislature of this State has
been sitting helplessly and impOtently Mt Albany
while the State is paying its members their salaries
for attending its business. What is the of
this unprecedented and disgraceful spectacle
Simply that the members of the Democratic party
cannot agree about division of patronage. That
is ALL Here is party which asks the people to put
it into power that it may reform abuses. When it
is PIT in power il devoes itself entirely a squab-
bic 0boI spOlS and lets the public business shift
for itself. DO the people care to make further
utrlments of this KIND
