In the light Of the recent vote in
Congress on the interesting test question
Of Increasing the tariff duty ou wool II
was made evident that there were a
few Republicans il ;hs House and few
Democrats whU are not to be relied upon
TO vote with the party they belong to.
AS the tariff Is the rusin issue tina divides
parties it it evident that the lines must
be newly drawn.-Fhliadeiphia Record.
The presentation OF Mr.. Randall by the
Penrsylvanis Democrats will have little
effect on the choice OF candidate, except
so far as 1t brings out more clearly than
before the singular want OF available men

into view the one candidate whom
nearly all Democrats consider al newt
able-tbe one for whom the New York
Sun has been 'baoming" successive can
didates into obscurity-the inscrutable
and mysterious Mr.. Tilden.-NeD York

@. W. Cruikshank, editor and pub
Usher of the Baltimore Day. defines him
self plainly and toroibly as Bsyard
man. Eight years ago, in the Cecil Dem
ocrat, he nominated Mr.. Bayard ior the
Presidency, and he still considers the
great Delawarean the best man the Dem
ocratic party can nominate, ,notwithstand
ing the fact that he comes from a smal
state. He is strong man in New Yorb
In spite of the Tilden sentiment there
and he ia the greatest statesman we have
to-day. Payne ia much better mar
than some would make him appear, bu
he is not as available candidate as Mr.
Bayard. Mcdonald would be the righ
man for the second place on the ticket

The Washington correspondent of tn
Boston Post claims that President Arthur l
I otinp ~ ianlafe1 aa far aa his marty aHHO
ciates are concerned, aud has to turn t
Democrats for his companions, probably be
cause Democrats read more books thai
Republicans and reflect less on dollars.
Senator Bayard is in the best sense of tn
word statesman and an eloquent expounde
of Jeffersonian Democracy. Whatever b
says in public is carefully read by the Who'll
country. What lends additional force to hi
remarks is the fact that during the whole
his career no single act has reflected upon hi
honesty. Utica Observer.
The Democratic party, as SUCH cares moth
ing for the''electoral fraud" of 1876. Ii IT ha
felt called upon to right the wrong done T.
MIR. Tilden, it would have undertaken to dis
charge their ''most sacred obligation" at th
first opportunity, namely, in the general elec
ton of 1880. To postpone this work for eigh
years, and then to propose healing MIR. ~
denis sore head by electing Samuel j. Randa
to the Presidency, is simply absurd.-Bosto

II MIR. Blaine is an innocent and maligne

statesman Of undisputed ability and approve

facts and to confound those who oontem
him. And il MIR. Blaines organs don't begi

T inevitable conclusion will be that they dar
not. We doubt whether this is a good yea
for hurrah campaign under any circun
