Men like Judge Abbott, Charles Levi
Woodbury. and Edward avery, says the
Boston Herald, old Democrats who bore
the heat and burden of the day-may be
represented in these times as disembodied
spirits. vague ghosts, doomed for time TO
walk the earth-shouting the old war-cries
in a contest which no longer Yields them
glory or pay. Their feelings when Ben
Butler-so long held up BY them the con-
centration of political evil-marched off
with their party in bag, can better be
imagined than described. They protested
for time, but it was in vain. Denis Kear-
ney had broken their hold ON the mass of
their party. and they were no longer listened
to. What could they do? All other doors
were shut against them. They were left out
in the darkness, where there we're wailing
and crashing of teeth Only one course re-
NAMED. They could swallow their words
principles long since consumed-bow their
heads. and join the procession on the extreme
left. That they did, and there they mourn
fully walk. never venturing to utter hilari-
Gus sound, while Buffers hosts send up
their shouts on all occasions. "What shad-
ows we are, and what shadows we pursue"
might be put on the old guards ghostly
transparencies.
The Republicans opened the campaign
in Boston, Wednesday evening. The GUS
tomary meeting to ratify the nominations of
the convention was held. So great is the
interest in the present canvass that fremont
Temple was crowded to its utmost capacity,
and there was an overflow meeting in the
Meionian. Mr.. Robinson spoke in both
halls. The other speakers were ex-Govern-
or Long. General Banks, A. w. Beard, COL
w. H. Hart, A. E. Pillsbury, Charles Foster
and Charles w. Slack.
The enthusiasm displayed in Boston is
eoualled in other parts of the state and the
indications are that the Republicans will poll
their full vote this fall. If they do, Gen.
Butler will have ITO step down and out"

4 Nuisance THAT MUST Co. BUT DOESN'T
In his last annual message, President Arthur

they are aimed may be suppressed, without re-

"qrartcrs have been thought indispensable for
success" Yesterday the National League for
the Suppression of POlygamy Issued an address
which proves that in the opinion of that body
the wOrl, of the Commission will have to be
substantially supplemented before poygamy
can be driven from this country. The League
Is ia favor of rcsOrtinG to a radical but peace
full measure. II wants Congress TO submit TO
the Legislatures OF the States an amendment TO
the Constitution prohibiting pOygamy.
Mommism must go. Republicans, Demo

Wings and the prOhibiiOniSts, whatever may be
their daagrccmcnts on other issues, are on this
point practically unanimous at least in theory

not only stays, but it prospcrs. Jesse w. Fox

He was asked if the Church was extending rap

BUTLER AS 4 THIRD CANDIDATE.

IF Governor Butler really proposes to insist
that he Is still alive and to persuade the Demo-
cratic party of it, no Republican in his right
mind will fail to rejoice with an exceeding great
iov The Governor will never get the Presi-
Dental nomination, but he can worry the Demo
cratic marty almost to death in the attempt, ana
the Republicans will enjoy the spectacle. III Is
characteristic of him that though 1t Is but llttlc
more than week since he was defeated, he Is
already glibly arguing for his own nomination
for President next year. His first step Is to read
all his nossible competitors in the East out OF

REEpIN(, OEIII.

1.-THE session ought TO close on May i or
sooner" says Mr.. Randall and lett the business
" Of the country be secure from agitation and
doubt What commentary upon the Demo
cratic party that IFS leading man in Congress
thinks il cannot be trusted TO lcgiSlatc for the
people without filling the country with agitation
and doubt But Mr. Randall is right 4
long session, with the Democracy in control,
means general disturbance, fear, anxiety, and
commercial paralysis The opening of The o,.s
sion is looked forward to with dread, and The
close will be hailed with sigh of relief.
Mr. Randall il shrewd enough to sec that he
can put forth no better bid for support than a
promise that he will do his best TO make the
agony as short as possible. He represents the
policy Of suppression and silence. He is in
favor of doing nothing in tariff matters until
after the Presidential election, because he knows
that if his party does anything it will do mis-
chief. He would rather not have the revenue
question talked about. because the more the
Democratic statesmen talk on that or any other
practical topic, the more the people distrust
them TO keep quiet, at any rate for the pres
ent, is their only chance to win.
There are indications, however. that Mr. Ran
dali will not be allowed to have his way, who
ever may be Speaker. Democrats are finding
an explanation of their defeat in NcwJYork in
tho failure of the party to make distinct
ayOwal of its position on any of the real ques
tions before the people, and the faulty which
allows it TO go into an active campaign with
out ideas, principles or policy" They argue
that the trick of keeping quiet for the pres
ent has been tried too often; ii irritates many
voters, it dsgusts others, it increases agitation
and doubt" it pleases nobody. A party which
either does not know its own policy or is afraid
TO avow it, is not fit to govern. 1t must be con-
fessed that the advocates of holder course
have reason on their side. The device of sup
preston and silence has been tried for over
twenty years, and has always led the Democracy
to disaster; and Mr.. Randal's plan of turning

crnd to the seats on the Police Court bench which
Bankson r. Morgan and GersOn \. Herman
have left The city will not benefit by the change,
for Mr.. Morgan has been one OF the best OF the
minor criminal judges, and neither Mr.. German
nor Mr.. O'Reilley is likely to do as well. Mr..
German is an amiable gentleman, who has been
interchangeable in his efforts to provide for the
comfort of Tammany delegations at state
conventions and has thus cndcarcd himself to
all who flock to Mr. kcly's banner. lie has
been a comfortable, eaSy-going Fire Com
missioner, keeping the even tenor OF MS
way, never in danger of startling the com
munity by revolutionary reforms but de
sirous of having a department in which
every one should be contented and cheerful,
and every one efficicnt-if the latter result
could be obtained without too serious sacrifice
of the interests of Tammany All In all, there
have been many worse Commissioners than Mr..
German. But we fear that his indulgcnt tenn
per will make it far too easy for sinful liquor
sellers to slip through the mesheS of the loose
ly-kDit law in his cOurt-prOvidcd they always
vote the straight Tammany ticket Yet Mr.
German will always mean well.
As for Mr.. O'Rcllcy it is reported that he has
bought primer and is busy in spelling ont the
hard words. He hopes to be able to read . page
of the Code before his term ends. II has only
ten years to run.
Richard Croker takes Mr.. German place In
the Fire Department by the side of the vigorous
Mr.. Purroy. Ncw-York can now boast OF
Fire Commission with an exceedingly extensive
muscular development. No other city IL the
world can show its equal. What an impressive
picture Mr. PulrOy and Mr.. Croker will make at
big fire, each with iron grip on the nozzle OF
an enormous hose pipe, directing powerful
stream upon the flames only turning aside now
and then to break the jaw of some prcsunptu-
Gus spectator.
There were about two score OF names before
the Mayor for the two Police JuStlccships.
Among them were the names OF lawyers OF OK
celent ability and good neutrality-suspicious.
who would honor the bench and serve the city
well. But the Mayor had the Aldermen to
reckon with. Alas why will not the guardian
angel of New-Y Ork-who seems to have been
ncglecting his duty sadly Of late-transport tho
majority of that Board to some heather village
in the interior Of Africa. In instincts and intel
lcct they are fitted to lcGislate for such village.
And yet great many hearts would bleed for
the poor African then.

law. At this semi.annual conference to which
Mr. Fox alluded. the mistaken purpose OF the
Mormons to uphold polygamy was emphatical-
ly asserted by all the leaders who were heard
from, while the Government was given to under
stand that the laws that had been passed with
view to Graduating the giant evil had been
measurably ovcrruled for the good of the
Church, since they wero regarded as so many
attempts to prosecute, and as such had resulted
in solidifying the MormOns in the determination
to resist them.
The address of the National League will do
good The scheme which is proposed in it
strikes at the root of the evil, and hence will
occasion wide discussion. And the more Nor
monsm is discussed the worse for it and the
sooner its downfall.
