THE TROUBLES OF THE DE
MOCRACY.

The democrats seem to have a
terrible time in getting candi-
dates such as will give general
satisfaction to the rank and file of
their own party. In Ohio, after
a struggle which turned the con-
vention into fair representation
of Pandemonium, they succeeded
in electing uoadly; but scarcely
was the feat accomplished before
the Thurman father and son set
! out for his scalp; the latter de-
nounclng Ioadly as political
gymaast" and showing that the
successful nominee had identified
himself at intervals with every
political conglomeration of fcranks
that ever existed. Then the reli-
gious element took the alarm at
Hoadly's religious opinions which
were about as variegated as his
political creed. So that since the
nomination. there has been an al
most inccssant discussion Of the
question, whether or not the nom
ination was not the most unfor-
tunate blunder the party ever
made, always excepting that
matchless piece of political folly,
the nomination for President of
Horace Greeley. The nomina-
ton Of speaker of the house, bids
fair to give rise to even more
trouble than that for governor OF
Ohio. Sam Randall, of Pennsyl-
sylvania, is a high-tariff man of
the most decided type, and has
his eye on the place. lie will
command the support OF all the
republicans and those Of the dem
ocrats from the manufacturing
districts of the north, which will
give him a very respectable send
off as Il candidate, The strength
with which lac enters the race
will naturally attract to him the
support of the large number of
those who allow their prospect
for a place on an important COM
mittee to dwarf all other eonsid-
erations. 1t will, therefore, be
sv--~ III. d. 1--,i r"ss------ .l-~
chief qualifications required to tit
him to be a disturbing element,
Joined with the necessary skill re-
quired to play his cards to the
best advantage to himself AS
the New Orleans States puts it,
'she possesses all the elements of
q JnnoUnruo ipotead Of those Of
IL statesman. The Gazette Of
this city says that his election
would be ''an act of madness
But that does not alter TIE fact
that such influential journals as
the New York Sun and New Or
leans picayune are diligently
pushing the claims OF this "emi-
nently conservative statesman"
nor the other very evident and
significant fact that Randall is a
long way in the lead. 1t really
seems at present that the high tar
ift democracy is the dog and the
low tariff democracy the tail, and
that the dog intends to wag the
tail, despite of all the desperate
attempts that are made to have tho
tail to wag the dog. BY the time
that IIoadly, Carter Harrison,
Sam Randall & Co., finish their
task Of reforming the democratic
party, its old time principles will
be as bad a misfit as David Da-
Wis shirt on Tom Thumb.

THURMAN, JR., ON HOADLY

Thurman, Jr., son of the old
man, declares publicly that he
will vote for Foraker. lie assigns
as his reason that Headly is a
"political gymnast, first demo-
crat, then an abolitionist, then a
republican, then radical, then a
know nothing" &c., &c. He ar.
CUES from these premises that the
democratic party when bossed by
Hoadly will lack stability; and
his argument is complete except
in its failure to specify the time
when the democratic party was
noted for stability.

The Continental Guards o

The Continental Guards OF
New Orleans, during their recent
visit to New Haven, Conn, were
the guests of the Sarsfeld q yards,
a high toned Irish military COM
pany and were escorted by a
humber of military companies,
one of which, the Wilkins Guard
was a colored company. A few
years ago the Sarsfield Guards
left a procession because the very
same coIored company was posted
on their right. Such folly is fast
going to the "demnition bow
vows"
