polls 10r once upon tue HlhcSS VI i.e
candidate to fill an office in which
sturdiness of character-unflinching
fidelity to the public welfare against
enticements or threats of party
friends no less than Of party foes
is the most essential requisite in con-
sideration Of the terrible temptations
which will befall the next Governor
of New York. Nor in applying the
same test to the candidates for Lieu
tenant Governor is there any room
for hesitation between Mr.. Hill and
Mr. Carpenter. The Democratic
candidate is the superior of his adj
versary in the qualities which should
command confidence for an upright
administration of his very important
office.
"Seeing clearly through what con-
flicts with the wealth, the power, the
selfishness, the ambition and the
knavery of monopolists-both char
tered and individual monopolists--
and their political dependents, the
State of New York is destined speed
ily to pass, the Herald does not de-
Law to choose its side in this encoun,
ter. 1t chooses the side OF the people
and therefore advocates nnrcservedly
the election of Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Hill in preference TO Mr.. Folger
and Mr.. Carpenter. We can CON
ceive Of circumstances under which
Mr.. Folger would be trustworthy
Governor, but we do not recognize
those circumstances in the conditions
of his present candidacy. As the is
sue is defined in this campaign, the
election of the republican candidates
for Governor and Lieutenant-Gov-
crnor would be triumph of wire
pullers and monopolists over public
rights and liberties. AS for 1884,
let it take care of itself. 1t is two
years ahead. IF the republican par
tx of New York loses the advantage
of the control Of the State govern
ment in the next presidential can
vass it has nobody but itself to blame.
1t has forfeited it justly"
A NOTABLE REPUBLICAN DISCRETION.
Senator George II. Forster, a prom
incnt republican of New York city,
has written letter resigning his
membership in the Republican As
sociation of the twenty third Assem-
by district. He says he resigns be-
cause he 'sdocs not intend to support
the republican nominee on the State
ticket" Mr.. Folger was Assembly
man from the eleventh district IN
1881. His senatorial service was
distinguished by his introduction Of
! the free canal amendment Of tht
State constitution, on which the PEG
pie are to vote this year. In Febru
airy, 1881, he was nominated by thu
President for United States district
attorney, in place of Mr.. Woodford
but the nomination was withdrawn
at his own request. In the election
of November, 1881, Mr.. Forster wa
the republican candidate for distrie
attorney of New York county agains
Mr.. McKcon.
A DEMOCRATIC WARNING.

:. ticket, but it warns the Democratic
party that it has hard work befor

: "The election Of Folger is yer.
