Stand by the State Ticket!

The Democrats have it in their power to
elect their State ticket by large majority.
All that Is needed to achieve this end Is unity
OF purpose and II full vote.
There are controversies among Democrats
In this city and in Buffalo, and possibly to
some extent elsewhere, over local nomina-
tions. But these differences ought not to re-
duce the Democratic vote for State officers +;
and these disturbances will not affect the
general result if all Democrats act In good
faith and refuse to vote for candidates on the
Republican State ticket under any circum-
stances whatever. There should be no trad
ing In that quarter.
II is tho result as regards the State officers
that will be closely watched by the whole
country. These local divisions may be in
furious but il the State ticket is elected by q
good majority, it will keep New York in line
for the Presidential contest. Indeed, IL the
Democrats carry the State next Tuesday by
as heavy vote as 1t is clearly in their power
to cast 1t will settle the Presidential election.

ARTHUR AND SHERMAN.
Can they Ever be Recon c,leds

WARRINGTON. Oct. 3O-Despite the pre-
tended reconciliation between the President
and honest John Sherman. and the efforts Of
the latter to get Offices for his friends. the bad
blood between them keeps in active circulation.
Arthur has not forgotten the old proverb. Be-
ware OF q reconcied enemy" and Honest John
remembers the other old proverb. that. having
once done an injury to another. the wronged
man must never be forgiven.
Col Moulton. brother-in-law and political
manager for Honest John Sherman has been
expressing his views very freely here in Wash
ington about the election in Ohio. He is re-
ported to have said that an alleged combins-
tion between Arthur and Foster for the Repub-
lican ticket in 1884. and general dissatisfac-
tion with the Administration. led to the de-
feat OF the Republicans. And he gracefully
added by way OF parting compliment. II do
not believe Ohio will support Mr.. Arthur II
nominated next year"
According to present signs. Ohio will not get
chance to 60 back on Mr.. Arthur. for there Is
no prospect OF his being nominated. After next
Tuesday the Presidents political value will be
estimated by the extent OF the patronage that
may remain at his disposal He will have six
teen months Of salary to receive, and will then
drop into official chronology with Tyler. John
son. and Fillmore.

Two Cents.

1t Is mistake to suppose that a two-cent
newspaper Is cheap ware to anybody but the
buyer. We estimate that 1t costs about q
million dollars year, exclusive OF inter est
on capital invested, to make really good
two-cent newspaper. We do not see how the
thing can be done well for much less. the
field is open to anybody with from half u
million to a million dollars to invest in the
current expenses OF daily newspaper dur
ing the first year Of the experiment.
1t is n mistake, OF course, TO measure tho
value OF u daily newspaper by the quantity
OF reading matter it contains. Matter may
be reading matter In one sense, and yet be
quite unrcadable in another sense. II the
best newspapers were those that stamped
the most ink upon the most white paper,
THE Sun would be fur inferior In circulation
and influence to some of its contemporaries in
other parts Of the republic such as the
Chicago Tribune, for instance, vast pamph-
lets with Brobdingnagian pages sheet after
sheet OF desert literature. column after
column alternating dreariness with slush.
Considering the amount OF intellect, en-
terprise. and mechanical ingenuity involved
in the production, we think THE Sun is fairly
worth about ten cents copy. Even the
Times and Herald are probably worth in
reality about four cents. their old price
before the reduction. But suppose 1t pos
sible to imagine an intelligent NewYorkcr who
had never seen THE Sun. and was ignorant OF
the priceat which this journal is sold Would
he not willingly pay fifty cents for copy.

Not a Candidnte.

The Philadelphia Times thinks that the ef-
fort to bring Mr.. HOLMAN before the country
as u fit man for President, and to secure his
nomination by the Democratic National Con-
vention, has probably been seriously inter-
fered with by the announcement made by
Judge HOLMAN that he Is not u candidate"
or course Judge HOLMAN Is not u candi-
date. He is not trying to get the place No
man who Is worth electng will ever set him
self forth as desiring it and seeking It, No
man who appreciates the magnitude and
gravity Of the duties to be performed by the
next President of the United Stutes-the
reform of the Government, the abolition Of
abuses. the removal Of sinecuros. the ter
mination Of the era of plunder the clearing
out Of the den OF thievcs-will Of himself
desire to assume such burdens and such tolls.
1t is no news that HOLMAN is not candi-
date. II he had been, we should not have
advocated his nomination with such earnest
ness. But II the great duty is put upon him
by the people he will not refuse to do it; and
when he has done it. the whole nation will
rise up and reward him with the priceless
treasures OF its gratitude.

The Case OF Lieut.. Robertson.

The official orders announcing the result of
the trial of Second Lieut.. s. C. RonpRr
son OF the First Cavalry throw new lioht
on some features Of the case. The meaure
statement in the press dispatches that the
findings and sentence OF the court had l,een
disapprovedby the President, and that Lieut.
ROBERTSON, relieved from arrest, had re-
sumed his duties, may have created an
impression that this disapproval was based
upon some technical defect In the proceed
ings, and seemed to leave the opinion OF the
reviewing authorities upon the merits OF the
case somewhat In doubt.
SO far is this Interpretation from the truth.
that In reality Secretary LINCOLN s comment
ON the proceedings Is severe condemnation
OF the accused Ctficer; and this comment has

An Important Question.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Telegraph
and Messenger of Macon is fully alive to the
responsibility of the Democratic majority in
the approaching Congress. That journal
thinks that, 80 far as the future Of the
party is concerned, the choice OF Speaker
is OF far less Importance than the record
which the Democratic majority will make
after the House shall have been organized"
The Republican majority of the last Con-
Rress was replaced by majority OF Demo-
Gratis simply because the Republicans were
corrupt, cxtravagant, and needless OF
their duty to reduce the enormous and
unnecessary burden OF taxation. Their
shameless obedience to the leadership OF Sc
COR robson and their Unparalleled reckless
ness in spending the immense surplus in tho
Treasury Oh naval jobs and river and har-
Dor jobs and pension jobs so disgusted the
voters that they drove them out. together
with their notorious leader. and elected DEM
ocrats in their places. The present House o.;
Representatives is thus clearly pledged to a
reduction OF expenditures, retrenchment in
every possible form, and uncompromsing
hostility to the Naval Ring. to the Whiskey
Ring, and TO every corrupt agent that haunts
the lobby. II they adhere to that policy the
chance of slecting their candidate for Presi-
drItin 1884 is almost u certainty. Nothing
will contribute TO make it certain 80 much as
the inauguration by the Democrats In the
next House of the expected reforms. The
importance of this fact cannot be exag-
gerated. Its gravity cannot be too strongly
Impressed ON the peoples Representatives.
The Republicans control the Senate and all
tine executive branches Of the Government.
The whole responsibility resting on the Dem
ocrats Is concentrated in the House. But
tile election OF tho Speaker will be OF para

they should choose u man who however
