4 M4LADROIT REFERENCE.

At meeting of the Brooklyn Common Conn
ell OH Monday last, a report was adopted when
calls for the sum of $l49,734 80 from the
pockets of the taxpayers of that city to make
good one of the little steals of the old Demo-
cratic ring. Commenting upon the report, me
BrookIyn Union remarks that the people OF
"ths city [Brooklynl are frequently reminded
of their deliverance from the rule OF the cor
"rupt Democratic ring which for so many years
chad control of the municipal government.
u. When the taxpayers are called upon
g to bear their share of the nearly Sl5O,OOO as
sessed upon the city at large, they will find
sexual cause for rejoicing at the overthrow of
= the INSCRIPTIONS ring that existed mainly for
the benefit of contractors, and for determining
"afresh to defeat such candidates for local Office
as are known to be in league with the de-
"posed Democratic bosses"
The newspaper that talks in this strain lately
deserted the Republican party and at present is
engaged in labors looking to Democratic
restoration. In one and the same breath The
Union reminds the taxpayers Of Brooklyn that
local Democratic thieves have plundcred them
of nearly $4,000 at one haul, and then coun-
sells them TO give the whole Nation the blessing
of Democratic rule by defeating Blaine and
Logan Verify this is maadroit apostasy. The
Union may set up that it is not working against
the Republican party, but only against Blaine
and Logan that it is not longing for Demo
cratic restoration, but merely for the election of
its own Democratic candidates for President
and Vice President. But what has been called
q the vanishing points of human intelligence
are reached when such distinctions are insisted
upon. The Union would resent the imputation
that it had become the organ of the depOsed
Democratic bosses " of Brooklyn. But the fact
remains that vote for the nominees of the July
Chicago Convention, whoever they may be- will
be vote to turn over the Government Of the
United States to party which, as a rule, has
been controlled by its "bosses by the ele-
ment that regards the spolation of the people
as the one great legitimate function of govern
mtut.

TIE STATE COMMITTEE.

The Republican Committee OF this State Is one
| of the most important of the agencies that con-
tribute to Republican success. Therefore the
marty NAV well congratulate itself upon the
organization that was effected yesterday. The
right men were placed in the right places. In
| the choice of chairman, secretary and OF other
officers. the committee showed excellent judg-
ment. Its action is certain to be generally ap-
| proved. The meeting, like that of the National
| Committee, was characterized by sagacity, har-
J mony and the confident assurance that the can
vass was to end in victory.
James ID. Warren was reelected chairman.
He conducted the campaign of last fall with
signal ability and unfaggng energy. The
fruits of that campaign were Republican Sen
ate, a Republican Assembly, Republican Sec
rotary of State, and practical wiping out OF the
tremendous majority by which MIR. Cleveland
was swept into Office. Mr.. Warren is warm
friend of President Arthur, and led the fight for
him at Chicago But he is loyal and unswerV-
ing Republican, and his selection by the Blaine
men is the best proof not only of their con-
fidence in him. but of the absolute unity OF the
party in this State Worthy of equal com
mendation is the election Of John w. Vrooman
as Secretary. There could not have been a
wiser choice. He has already done the party
much good and faithful service at that post He
brings to the discharge Of his duties approved
capacity and thorough devotion to Republican,
ism. AS for the Executive Committee with
Andrew S. Draper at its head it is enough to
say that such body of men cannot fail to meet
the best expectations.
A committee thus organized and equipped
means a vigorous canvass. And Il vigorous
canvass means Republican triumph in New
York in November.

State has been contrary to the will of the ma
iority of Democratic voters. At heart, most OF
the old Democrats of Ohio are Free Traders.
They have been educated to tell all sorts OF
stories in their platforms. They are not averse
to making promises which they never intend to
keep. But when the stanch old Democratic
leaders are slaughtered because they believe in
free trade, when men like Thurman and Ward
are ostracized because they have honest con-
victions, the majority Of Democrats boil over
with Indignation. Deception they can tolerate.
But at the attempt to kill offevery Democrat who
has ever believed in and fought for Democratic
ideas, in order to thrust forward heroes OF the
pocket-book and champions IN caucus-packing
and bribery they get angry and resist.
Mr.. Thurman goes to Chicago as the real head
of the Ohio delegation. His voice and that OF
General Ward will have great weight. very
likely they may not be able to lift their party to
any honest declaration on the tariff question.
Perhaps they may not be able to defeat the nom
ination of some candidate of the trlcksters'
whose only strength is his lack of known
opinions. But they will probably make 1t I'M
possible to nominate Mr.. Payne or Governor
Hoadly for either place on the ticket.

TglT D1vYJyG SHIRT CHARGE

In the last impression of HGrpers Weekly Mast
depicts Mr. Blaine as in the act of putting on an
inverted shirt The public had never for an in
slant suspected that Mr. Blaine was acoustic med to
wear his underclothng in that unconventional
way. and this revelation of the fact will be gcner-
ally regarded as demonstrating that Mr.. Blaine is
not an attentive reader of that great authority on
dress. Harpers Ba.ar The TRIBUNE has been
somewhat earnest advOcate of Alr. Baines election
Int nevertheless il has no hesitation in saying that
if believes il would be most unwise to ntrust the
liberties of our country TO the keeping Of man
whD does not know enough TO know how to put on
o shirt.
We make this remark in no spirit of unkndness
toward Nh Blaine. We positively dscailn any
such intention But we tell HIM frankly that he
utterly mistakes the feelings of the American
people, and undertakes the refining inluences.of
Oscar Wilde and Thomas Mast. if be fancies that
they are going to tolerate a man in the White House
who is addicted to the revolving habit of fastening
his shirt cuffs at his ankles and allowing the I'M
Numbered extremies of that garment to float idly
about his ears. lie may entertain the conviction
that he can safely defy public sentiment In this
matter but we beg to assure him he cannot. I'm
less he is able to dsprove this chargewhich we are
bound to say important the rest of the series
it will stick to him during tho campaign Ike

The Democrats of Ohio have done more than
they meant to do. The sudden volcanic up

distinguished champions of free trade, General

tariff question by the ruling clique In that
