consideration

Mr.. Cleveland's home organ Is moved to express
the hope that the voters will protect the State
from the humiliation and the serious injury that
would result from the rejection of the free canal
proposition" Mr.. Cleveland himself was so pro-
foundly impressed with the same contingent hu-
initiation and injury that he wrote letter of
acceptance the other day, in which. with all the
elOquence aud earnestness at his command he
On second thought recall the fact that he didn't.
His letter of acceptance affords no indication of
his views in regard to free canals. What the boat
men must think of Bulfalonian running for Gov
ernor without any views on canals can be readily
cOnjectured.
Is Mr.. Tim" Shea the only Democratic states
man who remembers what the County Democracy
was organized fort Aasl What shadows we are
and what shadows we pursue.
1t was the Democracy of the State of NewYork
that lately built platform at Syracuse In which
much pensive regret was expressed at the fact
that Republicans sometimes nominated men for
office who failed to conform to an ideal standard.
1t was the Democracy of the City of New-York
that, being DESTROYS of giving force to this plank,
named as its candidate for County Clerk that
cOnsummate flower of civilization, that unequalled
heir of all the ages who answers to tho name of
Patrick keenan,.
Tomorrow being the anniversary of the opening
of the Erie Canal the friends of the free canal
amendment purpose to make an imposing demon
strati0n. 1t is rmored that Mr.. Cleveland has sent
to the Committee of Arrangements the following
telegram:
BUFFALO. Oct. %.
If good stout fence is provided would be will
ing to appear in the free canal procession sitting
astride OF 1t. u. CLEVELAND.
A Republican majority in Congress can never be
secured by nominating such men as John f. Brodsiy
who has been made the machine" candidate
in the With District in this city. Young In years
he is old in political vice. If there is any depth of
trickery and baseness in ward politics TO which he
has not descended in carrying out the orders of the
machine it has not been from lack of inclination.
He never missed anything in his life by falling to
go down low enough for it, In his career in the
Assembly at no time could he be accused of inabil-
ty to sec all that there was in bill. The party
could better afford to give the Democrats the con-
troll of Congress than to carry on legislation with
majority of such as Brodsky.
Will some prominent Democrat connected with
the great popular uprising against Tanmany of two
years ago please be good enough to rise and inform
an anxious public whether the uprising has ceased
rising, and if so, how far it uprOsef
It was unexpected good fortune to get so excel
lent Republican nomination for Alderman in the
XIth District as that made on Monday evening
Alderman James w. HAYES, rs The TRIBUNE has
pointed out deserved support for another term but
when the leaders of the party In the district decided
to select a new man they showed sound in
their choice Mr. John C. OConnor. jr., ought TO
carry the full party vote and something more.
He is a candidate of SOFT that the men who raRn-
age conventions in this city rarely give He has
never been in Office but he has those qualities which
enable man to make the best of public
position. Mr.. OConnor has taken part In any
fractional divisions and no Republican can have any
excuse for failing to his influence and his vote
to seat him in the Common Council
What n refreshment 1t is amid all thu talk about
bar's" and assessments" and the expenditure Of
money in elections, to know that the Republican
State Committees canddate-at-arge scorns TO pay
a cent TO tho committee! lie knows that the COM
mittee were looking everywhere with a lighted
candle for candidate. and that ne conferred boon
unon them in permitting the use of his NAME And
no knows, too, that with such name the ticket
there's no need of money.
