TO send out circulars about the hat and waited
again. There was feeble demand but SILL no
rush. Circular has followed circular, the price has
been reduced several times, but still the rush does
not come. and the hats remain mountains high In
the chop In desperation the halter has issued
final circular. Offering the hats at "Sl rs apiece,
or S2l q Dozen" and is hoping against hope. No
body seems to be anxious to adorn himself with q
Beaver campaign hat and tho halter is merely
another victim of misplaced confidence. After the
election wepresume no will place the whole lot in
box, marked YOur choice, 90 cents" and leave
them to their fate. 1t is bad year for Beaver

General Hancock looks at Grover Cleveland with
undissused admiration, and remarks softly to him.

We repeat that to any prominent Democrat who
can give information as to the resent whereabouts
of the great popular movement for the destruction of
Tammany Hall as % political force the columns OF
The TRIBUNE are open.
There was great force in the scrlptural allusion
and figure of speech with which Colonel Charles s.
Spencer adorned his presentation of the name Of
Mr. John j. O'Bren candidate for County Clerk.
The Republican ark is a good deal ut sea; the de-
cent people In il are very tired of keeping company
with the unclcan beasts and great many OF them
are anxious to see land and go ashore; but when the
Colonel came to name his candidate he opened the
window to the wrong bird Noah sent out a dove.

The Republican party in the XXIIId Assembly
District Is in anything but satisfactory condition.
Mr.. Prank" Raymond has been trying for long
time to show how much mischief can be done by
petty ward boss" who is in politics solely and
simply for what he make out of 1t. His efforts
have been abundantly successful. In no district
have fouler means been used to stfe the sentiment
of the honest members of the party, and in dis
trct is the machine" leader more justly and
heartily hated and despised. Only by the aid of
rulians of the vcst sort has he been able to keep
his power. He holds position as assistant clerk Of
q Democratic Board of Aldermen by the appoint
ment of Democrats. This IS in direct violation of
the constitution of the Assembly district associa-
ton, but constitutions do not disturb Raymond.
HIS firm friend and ally, Alderman MacI4ean, voted
for the Tammany batherskite, Sauer, for president
of the Aldermen IN order to secure Raymond his
assistant elerkship. Now Raymond has put in
nomination for the Assembly Ezra A. Tuttle, q
young lawyer. against whose personal character
nothing can be said. But he ought to be beaten for
what he represents The independent Republicans
have nominated Leroy b. Crane, the present Assem-
byman. Mr. Crane has been Raymonds most
active opponent, and has been doing his best to
shake off the grip of the machine In the district.
He has the support of the great majority of un-
selfish Republicans who not looking for places at
the hands of Democrats. AT the last session he
voted with Mr. Roosevelt aud Mr. Sprague for every
sound and useful bill, and against every job. He
ought to go back.
Perry Belmont ought TO have bodyguard There
is reason to believe that the omnibus drivers on
Broadway are in Blaines pay and only waiting for
a good chance at Perry to run over him.
Colonel Spencer wants some Mount Ararat that |
some solitary Republican dove can stand upon" |
SO he calls the County Clerks Office for a Mount
Ararat and plays John j. OBnen for solitary |
Republican dove" Soiledf
After the election is over, it is to be hoped that
some one Of the eminent statesmen who two years,
ago entered with such fiery zeal aud enthusiasm |
upon the enterprise OF exterminatlng Tammany |
Hall will find leisure to write the history of another
" Lost Cause" |
Perhaps Colonel Spencer thinks the dove that |
Noah sent ont from the ark was a stool-pigeon.
Why does the solitary Republican dove" want |
to be County Clerk So as to be a robinf
Mr.. Stephen B. French is reported as saying that |
he is so busy helping TO elect the State ticket that
he will not have time, until after election, to hunt
after the forger of the telegram by which he
abled TO act as proxy for Collector Robertson at |
Saratoga Mr.. French seems calmly unconscious |
of the fact that his lack of zeal in this matter, and
the apparent absence of any curiosity on his part
as TO who committed the forgery. are damaging his
own reputation as well as the Republican cause |
Mr.. French could DO vastly more help for the State
ticket by satisfying, or at least making show of
to satisfy. the public, that he not
priyy to the dirty and dishonest transaction by |
which that ticket was fOsted upon the party.
II turns out that when Mr.. Blaine in the letter |
published in THE TRIBUNE few days ago urged |
upon Republicans the duty of using every honor
able effort to hold control of the popular branch of
Congress" he had Perry Belmont IN his eye. That |
keen sighted newspaper The Noo- York Herald dis
covered IT, He's very sly man, that Blaine. He |
took the roundabout way Of stabbing Belmont by |
writing this letter to a Delaware Republican. But |
The Herald WAS on the watch for him. Perry's |
friends are warned.
