stranger things have happened. The Demo-
cratic party, we imagine, would like to have
Democratic candidate for once. IL is more
likely to get Republican deserter to vote Tor,
or the candidate of barrel or ladder. AT
bottom, the difficulty is that Democratic dele
gates and local managers do not care for DEM
ocratic principles-if there are any-but only
for success. If barrel offers victory and the
spois, they are apt to shout for the barrei,

votes by putting up the worst enemy the Dem

the party will be invited to eat its dish OF crow

A PARTY IN DIFFICULTY.

The most creditable thing yet reported as
to the sagacity of Mr.. Hoadly, OF Ohio, is that
ne las several times threatened to withdraw
from the canvass for Governor. Ii is not so
creditable to him that he has allowed his own
impulses and instincts to be overruled by ad-
vice, said to be'irom the Sage OF Cipher Alley.
One can understand why Mr.. Tilden should
prefer to see the party defeated with Judge
Hoadly, If it must he defeated-and he at least is
shrewd enough TO apply Mir. Lncoln's adage
that it is bad business to swap horses while
crossing the stream. For good or for evil, the
Hoadly- Book walter combination has effectually
fastened itself upon the Democratic party of
Ohio for this year, and any attempt to shake it
of, even If successful, would only make an in
evtable defeat of the party a shade less dis
graceful.
The trouble in Ohio is typical of the trouble
which the Democratic party will have to meet

nIsApp0INTED Nv DORSEY

With a halt chuckle and half whine some Of
our Democratic contemporaries make note that
Republican newspapers do not say very much
about the revelations of Dorsey. The
chucke comes of the notion that the "revela-
tons have driven the Republican party into a
corner, and ths they do not say very much
because there is no defence tn make and
nothing to say. The whine comes Of a lurking
suspicion that the Republicans by treating the
revelations" with undIsguised contempt are
taking the sting out of them and robbing the
Democracy of considerable political capital.
There ie more reason in the whine than in the
chuckle. For so far as any effect upon the
Republican party or upon the general public is
concerned, Mr. Dorsey might just as well have
kept his lIrid rhetoric In his chest to damn
refractory mules with as to have poured it by
the bucketful into a reporters ear. The
first chapter issued by Mr.. Dorsey had no effect
other than to excite in the public mind won
dering curiosity about the man himself and his
motives. 1t contained very little that was true
that was not already of public notoriety, while
the fictitious features of it contained such
gross improbabilties and palpabe misrepre-
sensations that only the most crednlous OF Dem
ocrats gave them a moments credence. This
first instalment was looked upon as the angry
outburst of man who had been found out
against his accusers the wild beating of the
air Of a man bent only on revenge. Upon the

THE CAUSE or DEPRESSION IN BUSINESS
Ever since the shooting of President Garfield
there have been complaints as to the state OF
industry and trade. That these complaints
have had some foundation, recent failures
have shown. But it is well to observe first,
that they have been little exaggerated. A
large part of the current talk which comes to
the surface is prompted by interests in one kind
of speculation or another. IL Is astonishing
what gloomy views man can take of his
country, when no has @ou" large blocks of
stock OF heavy lots Of grain. Ii has been try
ing time for spectators. too. these past two
yenrs. Not many can show profits thousands
have been crowded to the wall-or little fur
ther Being generally unsuccessful in specua-
tive ventures people have been inclined to be-
leve that business Of nil sorts was also in a bad
way. But the gloom has been partly in the
glasses through which men have been looking.
The volume OF business, outside OF speculation,
has been very large. The exchanges prove
that il has been larger than over before out
side of this city, in spite OF all depression. More
food has been transported and consumed, and
more clothing made and bought, and more
bull ings erected, and more CO ton and oil and
ments in some trades, the people have been
eating and drinking without STINT have been
better clothed aud sheltered than ever before,
have been generally we'll employed at fair
wages. and have supplied their wants on the
whole quite satisfactorily. But, willie all this
is true, there have been many failures and
heavy losses, sore disappointments in many
branches o. trade or manufacture, and u season
OF unusual trials and scanty profits in business
generally.
This state of things has not resulted from
President Garfeld's death. AS "a cloud heavily
charged with rain may be caused to pour out its
floods by cannon-shot, 30 the shock OF the as
sassination only precpitateh events which were
already impending. Neither has the depression
been wholly due to the failure OF crops In
1881. No doubt that turned the scale in many
cases men had placed themselves in position
so delicate and doubtful that single bad sea-
son brought disaster. Neither can it be said
that any mistakes of government have played
very important part in causing depression. The |
Silver bill has done some harm, but it's worst |
consequences are yet in the future, and the bust
ness world has not appreciated them enough to |
fear them seriously. Delay in legislation on |

harm, no doubt, but not enough to DO noticed |
had trade and industry been otherwise in |
healthy condition.
The principal cause Of trouble was the over
confidence with which the country expanded
all isorts of business after specie resumption.
That event, setting free vast amount of specie
without any withdrawal of notes. was calcula-
ted to stimulate great activity. At first the
revival was cautious and prudent. But when
