The "reeularity' of the County Democracy
and Tammany's superior numbers are maze
to offset each other in the ap! ointment oi me

satisfied, for they held with 1t good deal OF
i1Stice that tho division ought to he proper

Convention but in this city, On his own
ground, Mr. Kelly is not SO yielding, ana Inc
Ccnturions have tn make more concessions 1"

that they are submitting to their OLD enemy

The faculty of Yale College did wisely III
allowing the case of Smith, the senior Who' IL
aupeaIs, has been swndling the freshmen 10
be put into the bands of the police. College
faculies are too often inclined to keep snch
matters from becoming public lest they should
damage the institution. The offender Is
generally only expelled But a thief Is a thei
inside or outside college halls, and the lest
way is to treat him as such. This course more
over should be adopted whenever Il students
offence is against the laws. Hazng for in
stance, is not so funny when il is called
assault and battery; and "unSentlemanilhc
conduct" is more serious when 1t Is known
to mean thieving and obtaining money under
false pretences. Many students who rather
glory in suspensions and rcprmands or even
cxpusions dislike the police court, fines and
possible imprisonment. 1t is worth while to
note that the complainants in ths case Ill be-
half of the freshmen are their traditional
enemies. the2sophomores Has the millennium

The Hon. Stewart l.. WOoAfOrd tells re-
porter of The Broollm Eagle that, believing
the result at Saratoga was secured 10y irauu
and forgery, he is III favor of Judge Folger :
refusing to accept the nomination for Governor.
Mr.. Woolford thinks that If Judge Folger
would adopt this suggestion, his associates
upon the Republican State ticket would also
resign, tins giving the party an opportunity
to hold another convention which should be
free from the scandals that characterized the
one lately held. In emphat!cally protesting
against the living telegrams upon which
tentative membership in the State Committee
was secured at a critical moment Mr. Noodtord
or.lY reflects the views Of every man who
loves fair play or is jealous OF the honor of the
Republican party. The suggestion he makes
IN regard to Judge Folger is not likely, how
ever, to he generally agreed to, and for this
reason: Under a resolution adopted by the
Saratoga Convention the State Committee has
the power to fiji all vacancies that may occur
on the ticket. If the whole ticket resigned the
committee would be iully authorized TO place
an entire new ticket in the field. General
Woodford assumes that if Judge FOlGer and
his associates resigned the choice of their
successors would he determined by the partJ
acting through delegates. OF coarse the
State Committee could waive its rights in the
premises. But then again it might insist upon
them. Whether anything comes of General
WoodfOrds suggestion or not, one thing is
certain, and we commend it to tie loN
scoundrcls who pursued their vocation at the
Saratoga Convention. The attempt to natn-
raiize fraud in the Republican party viii
never succeed.
