GROVER CLEVELAND, Mayor Of
the City of Buffalo, was nominated
Tor Governor of New York by the
Democratic State Convention at 5yr.
acuse last Friday.
The nomination Of Mayor CLEvE-
LAND is conceded by ali parties as
being an admirable one, uniting and
hsrmonizing thoroughly and COM
pIetely all Of The hitherto conflicting
and warning factions OF the Demo
cratic Party Of that State. Even
john KELLY and his Tsmmany fol-
lowers are in harmonious accord
with the rural Democracy, 60 that
the Democratic Party Of New York
is ia it's entirety thoroughly united
and harmonious, and means business.
Referring ejItoua'ly TO the action
Of the Syracuse Convention, The
TriJuue OF last Saturday says;
The nomination Of Mayor CLEvE-
LAND Of Buffalo for Governor by The
Democratic Convention means hard
work for the Republicans. Mr..
CLEvELANr is young, able, and has a
clean record. He is popular in bis
section OF the State. lie has been
remote from the local quarrels in the

City of New York, and all factions
here can, aud doubtless will support
him heartily. Yesterdays conven-
ton means united Democratic
Party, with all that that implies.
Some Of the other names on the
Democratic ticket add to it's strength.
Mr.. HILL, the Convention's choice for
Lieutenant Governor, Is the Mayor
of Elmir and the proprietor of a
newspaper in his town. He has long
been an ardent admirer OF Mr.TILDEN
and a great worker in his interests.
Now be Is reaping the reward OF his
iaithfulness. General SLoCUM is a
strong candidate for Congressman
at Large, aud will be sure to com
mand more than the full vote of his
party. w. G. RuGER, named for
Chief Judge Of the Court of Appeals
is prominent lawyer OF Syracuse,
He made a reputation a few years
ago by his defence in the suits
against the Canal Ring thieves
ITO defeat the Democratic ticket
yesterday nominated, and now sup
ported by united Democracy, is a
task requiring the utmost wisdom
and strength of the whole RepuLli-
can party of New York
The platform arraigns the R4pub
lcan Party for failure TO reduce the
Federal taxes, aud for prohgste ex-
pendiure OF the national revenues,
and especially condemns the River
aud Harbor steal.

Elk SECRETARY BLAINE has been
giving his views on the Virginia
debt question. He does not think
Virginia should be expected to pay
the whole State debt, principally for
the reason that she was torn and
dismembered by the war, and her
ability to pay was greatly impair
ed. He does not think West VIZ
ginis should be expected to assume
any portion OF the old States debt,
for the reason that the new State
"was erected az a war measure for
the benefit of the whole Union and
not to oblige it's inhabitants" Mr..
BLAINE proposes to solve the Yir-
gina debt question by having the
general government "glve aid in
some practical way" one considsra-
ton Tor government aid being the
tact that Virginia nearly one hun
dred yeara ago "ceded ali the North.
west Territory for the com non
veal.

WHILE the ordinary census of
population has given the number OF
persons resident in each State, inclu-
ding those born there aud those Of
foreign birth, 1t il evident that diff
'ereEt sort Of computation is needed
in order TO ahow how many persons
born IN each State are dwelling in
some other This inform alton ia
supplied by the latest Of the bulle-
tins issued from the census office.
It shows that in each Of eleven States,
namely, Alabama, Delaware, Georgia
Maine, Maryland, North and South
Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Vermont,
and Virginia, the total population,
including the native born and those
coming from other States and lands,
is not as great ~ the number OF ma
tives Of those States to be found in
The whole country. La other worde,
they have actually sent more Of their
natives into other States than they
received from other States and from
foreign lands combined. This isanew
and interesting field Of inquiry. 1t
throws light on the question Of State
influence beyond State borders. The
general result might have been sus-
pected oil some Of the New England
States whose youth poverbially
push all over The country TO make
their fortunes, giving the fruits o.
their energy and industry to other
communities. But it is particularly
remarkable that eight out OF the
eleven States in this ca,eqory are
former slave States. Here the clue
evidently is the exodus Of the color
ed population during and after the
war. The case Of Ohio stands b.
itself, and is somewhat puzz.inp.
Perhaps The Ohioans hold to The
view Of the distinguished New Eng
lander who prdseJ bis native State
as'a great one 10 emigrate from.

IHE contest IN New ok Tor the
Gubernatorial nomination was short
sharp AID decisive. The Admiais-
tration gained majority of eght on
the test vote for TIE Temporary
chairmanship, over the combined
strength of CORNELL and WADs-
WORTH The convention being thus
clearly in Administration hands, the
concentration on its candidate was
speedily effected. Judge FoLGER
was nominated on the second ballot
by vote OF 257, being eight more
than required against 222 for Cor
NELL and Is for WADswoRTH. II
will be noted that the CORNELL and
WADswoRTH votes together were
nine short Of enough to nominate.
The New York Tribune 10 die
cussng the nomination Of Judge
FoLdER, says;
1--WE do not need to say that this
is not result we would have
chosen.
months ago, before feelings had
become embittered and discussion
had degenerated into personal at
tacks, We pointed out the ciIcum =
stances which seemed to ls to make
Secretary FoLGER less available
than some others as Republican
candidate. lie has been damaged
since by the interference Of the Adj
ministratlon in bis behalf at a time
when the voters are not in a mood
for having the Administration choose
a Governor for them. And it is un-
fortunate, now that his nomination
will be construed as the direct hu-
nliatlon Of his most powerful com
petitor. III this light the choice OF
almost any other candidate named
would have given better promise Of
harmonious and yea lous campaign.
owe zee no good, however, to be
accomplished by discussing row Ad-
miuislration methods or Adplnis-
tratlon revenges, in connection With
this nomination. We may think it
would have been az easier tack to
elect somebody who had not pro-
voked such sharp autagonisms but
the work in hand il TO elect FoLGER.
The undertaking Is serious one,
and the campaign Is necessarily
short We had only thirteen thou
sand majority last year, with JoHH
KELLY kicked out Of the Democratic
Convention. This year, with a har-
monious Democracy, there is no
chance for Republicans save 10 union
and hard work"
This is not very hopeful or com
forting view Of the eituation to Re
pubIioans, but We doubt not it Wi.

IN a brief speech delivered by
Comptroller PATrIsoN, the Demo
cratic nominee for Governor OF
Pennsylvania, at reception of the
Commonwealth Club, in Philadel-
ph!a, one evening last week, he as
serted that one Of the greatest evils
in cur pOlitical system 10 the low es-
innate Of duty held by public Gunc-
tionaries, aud that this arises from
their failure to recognize that fun
damenta, idea of our government
that public Office is a trust to be
executed for the benefit Of the whole
people. Mr. PATTIsoN asserted an-
other truth when he declared that
there is a wide spread discomfort at
boss government, aud that popu-
ular discomfort has generally good
cause, for the people have no adydn-
tsge IN unnecessary agitation and
disorder that "the great evil Of the
boss government ID that The inter
est of the official is made inimical to
faithful public service" Mr.. PATTI
SON hes been a terror TO the politi-
cal bosses in Philadelphia, and
should he be chosen Governor will
carry into that high Office an integ-
riiY and independence which will be
the assurance Of an able and upright
administration.

In regard to fraternal relations, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted
Resotved list. That this Presbytery regrets
the method adopted by our last General Assem-
bly for the establishment of 'fraternal relations"
with the Northern General Assembly vet it is
the Judgment of this body that the action of our
Assembly should be sustained in good faith
s and, furthermore, that the continued agitation
of this question can result only in demage to
the church.
Resolred, End. That it is the sense of this
Presbytery that the desire for the establishment
Of fraternal relations" between the two As
:emblies as expressed from time to time bv the
Southern Assembly, never did imply, and no
more does the action of the last Assembly now
imply, any desire for, or anticipation of organic
union with the Northern General Assembly
nor is it the judgment of this Presbytery that
the thought OF such organic union at any time
should be, for single moment, entertained by
our people.
Resolred, 3rd. That the resolution adopted
BY the Northern General Assembly. as explana
tory of the concurrent resolution" and known
as DR.. Herrick Johnson's resolution, stands as
an lnsuperable bar against the organic union of
the two Ascend les apart from all other consld-
eratlons; since, by that action. the Northern
Assembly virtually re affirms the anti Presby-
terrain doctrine that ecclesiastical bodies NAV
inter NEEDLE with civil affairs which concern the
commonwealth thus virtually denying the spiri
tua lty OF the church as a divine institution
which virtual denial in the first instance prac
hcally forced the very existence of the Southern
Presbyterian Church as a distinct ecclesiastical
body.
Resolved, 4th. That this Presbytery overtures
the next General Assembly to take such action
as shall determine, that in the future the frater-
nal salutatlons of the Southern Church shall be
communicated tC the Northern General Assem-
bly, by letter as in the case of other churches
the Dutch Reformed excepted) with which we
sustain fraternal felati-ns, and not by delegates

y1urch to the love and devotion which the PEG
PIE not only of the congregation but Of the

wCrk he had done and was doing in bis present
neid OF labor. He declared that his place could
not be supplied-that the sphere Of his useful.
ness was rapidly extending. and that it was the
1uty OF Presbytery to say that he should re-.
MIR. Strickler being called upon to express
ais own views, stated that after mature and
Pryeriul consideration he had accepted the call
rom Atlanta. He appreciated the call from
lexington, because he knew the people there
ana felt that he was known to them. Rock
pHdge was his native county, and Lexington
uad been his residence for some years But. az
stated before, after conscientious consideration
Of the subject his conclusion was in favor OF
atlanta. He had reached that conclusion not
because OF any dissatisfaction with his present
charge, for the commissioner had feelinelv al
