New-York tribune., 1882-02-13

| The Albany shindy comes pretty near to being
one of the mistakes which make q nation tremble
1t is not the first time that the Democracy and the
Ablest Man of the Century have been on the same
| track.
| Congress is making the usual deficiency appro-
| priatiOns to ill the gaps made by Democratic
| economy and reform. This has been regular GUS
tom since the Democrats secured majority in Con
| gress in 1876 Every year since then it has been
necessary to pass heavy deficiency bills to enable
| the Departments to carry the public business
| Mr.. Randall and his associates have been accus
TONED go before the country at the close of every
session and show the people the enormous reduction
| which the Democrats had made in the public ex-
penditures, but they were always careful to make
no mention Of the deficiency bills. Now, that we
have "a Republican majority in Congress there will
be end to this Reform by Deficiency.
We are just little amused to see that the Three
Observation-Disclosures look rpon those medals likely
to have the same effect upon mans neck a mill
| stone
1t is evident that Kelly shindy and a Tilden
boom cannot flourish at the same time in this free
and enlightened country.
| The Hon w H. English has relieved himself of a
personal statement which fills about three columns
| of The Cincinnati Enquirer. He says the principal
cause of tho Democratic defeat In Indiana in Oc-
| tOber 1851, was the decision Oh une DeinOcrdtlC
! Supreme Court overthrowing the constitutional
amendments which changed the election from Oc-
| tober to November. This, it will be remembered
was chiefly due to the influence of Mr.. Hendricks.
| As for funds Mr. English says More money
| used by the Democrats in the Indiana campaign of
1880 than was ever used in any previous canvass.
| More was used by the National Committee more
| by the State Committee; more by the Democratic
candidate for Vice-President; more by the Demo
| cratic candidate for Governor, and more by the
party generally. The expense of the whole canvas
up to the time of its close prior to the October cleo
ton was paid out of money raised within the State;
| the money used the day of election and few
| days before came from abroad, almost entirely
| through the National Committee. could make all
approximately correct statement of the amount dis
bursed by the Democrats in the canvass, how 1t was
| distributed, and into whose hands it primarily
went. If did so (and may If 1t becomes necessary
it would astonish great many, people" In CON
| cluding his statement Mr.. English says: " | am
actually glad that was not elected. was big
fool ever TO think of snch thing, and find it diff
the office at all" That puts Mr.. English more
nearly i'll harmony with the country than he ever
| was before.
| If Mr.. Tilden woud climb mp and throw his arm
around John Kelly's neck and whisper softly in his
ear, Come. brother, let us join hands and reform
tie world together" there would be perfect cy-
clone of Democratic harmony right away
Senator Browns refusal to stand by the Demo-
cratic caucus dictum shows how uncertain the
Democracy's grip is upon its public men.
If the Stalwarts of the Stalwarts have even
modicum of wisdom they will keep very quiet and
keep a safe distance from Garfied's grave with
their mud There is trouble i'll store for them if
they do not.
IT must occur TO the Ablcst Man of the Century
that obScuTitY his best hold for time vet.
Messrs. Hendricks and English are disturbing the
ouict of the Indiana political graveyard by quar-
rellIng Why can't they lie still
