Nrw YoRx, June 2.-The Tribune's
editorial says: "The Democrats of
california, in Convention assembled,
have emitted platform which we CON-
,o.pd to the whole North for national
rss II reads as if it had been written
bv Dennis Kearpey. The larger part of
II is devoted to the Chinese, and upon
,ba. once promising issue the utter
=. ices are stirring enough to make the
vildest Chinese hater in the country
dance with JOY. The architects of the
,ls,form we're evidently Southerners,
ofvaom California was the refuge, and
m,ny Southerners sought it at the close
Of the war, where they all joined the
Democratic party, and were at once
given high places in its counsels. They
bstrav their antocedents in this plat
form by demanding the men who. un-
der the humanitarian cloak. are endeav-
oriup to thwart efforts in behalf of the
white man in California. This is the
first intimation we have had that the
Cinnamon were endangering the divine
rights Of white men to rule this country.
Starting on this ancient Democratic
principle tho platform warns at once to
is work. 1t denounces the Chinese
nuw in California as an unmasked
curse, and appeals to the Democracy Of
the country for deliverance, and de-
mands that the next Democratic G On
yention shall declare for self-pressrva-
ton, and shall pledge the party in case
II obtains power to reno ve every Mon
golian from the country. We trust the
word remove" is not used in the Gui-
ieau sense, yet We are not sure about it.
The Convention that adopted the de-
elaratiOn was in a red hot condition.
The national Democracy will probably
accept the suggestion and push the ex-
ssrmination plank into its platform. 1t
would fit in admirably with the present
so!Isction of principles, which stand at
stuffed ballot boxes, polygamy, free
rum. free trade, abolition of the national
banks and Chinese determination. That
isroundsd and Homogeneous. There is
nota single masked c1rse IN the whole
LIST. There is. however, really nothing
new in the platform, tho Gre ature has
been running ~ an unmasked curse for
the past 2f years, and has been treated
as such by tho people.

NEw York, June 3.-The Suns
Washington correspondent says the
nomination of Axtell for Chief Justice
Of New Mexico has met with opposi-
ton in the Senate. This mans record
ought to be sufficient to cause his re-
jection by the Senate. Senators have
been informed that his nomination has
aroused the opposition Of the best citi-
zens Of the Territory, who had breathed
sigh OF relief when Prince resigned
bat they now look with apprehension
on the nomination of man whom they
bslieve to be more unfit for the place
than Prince was.
All Boah.
NEw YoRK, June S.-It is believed
the rumors of truce between Conkling
and Cornell are founded on the fact that
Cornell lnado such concession in order
to secure reelection this fall, and Arthur
has been An active agent in producing
the peaceful result of the conference. It
Is told by friends Of all parties that the
proposition il to nominate Cornell for
Governor and Senator Lapham for
Lieut.. Governor. II Lapham is elected
be will resign his seat at the beginning
ofths second session of the forty-seventh
Congress. Cornell would appoint Conk-
lung 70 fill the vacancy, and this would
ssat him in the Senate at hast eight
weeks before the Assembly would meet
to choose Lapham's successor. BY
uniting forces the friends Of both leaders
aythat there is fair chance an Assem-
by could be elected in New York BY the
doublsexecative pressure, both in WASH
'neson and Albany, which could be
made to zee things in Q new light rs-
sasding ConklinR, and which would
consent to carry out the programme
which the leaders are arranging.
