AfunDAY EVENING. SEPT, ID. les4.
ranmanl Hall,s AdnesIon.

Tammany Hall Las formally de-
oIafed its support of the Democratic
national ticket by vote of $40 TO 81.
An address was issued declaring the
reasons for Tammany's opposition to
thu nomination Of Cleveland and defend.
SnR it, action in 30 strenuously opposing
him. II avows the belief of the
organization that the nomination was
m error Of judgment on the part
Of sthe leaders of the Democracy,
but asserts that Tammany Hall has a
profound faith in the Democratic party
and principles, and will not abandon
them because of mistakes by its chiefs.
The address is frank in expression and
emphatic in utterance. 1t is well
conceived paper from the standpoint Of
Mr.. Kelly and his associates, and ex-
presses their views with clearness and
great force not concealing or denying
their lack of approval Of the candidate,
they give their adhesion to the party
which presents him. They vote for
Cleveland because they so only can vote
for the Democracy. The position taken
is entirely sound and sensible. No one
can expect that the views entertained of
Cleveland by the leaders of Tammany
Hall should be changed by the fact of his
nomination. The only fair expectation
that could be had was that they should
in their action accept the views of the
party and support its candidates. When
they do this they do their whole duty
to the party, whose principles, as they
declare, are more important and endur-
ing than its rulers. Through all time,
men who act together politically must
sacrifice individual preferences in select.
ing their political agents. The will of some
portion Of them must prevail over that
of others. The majority in democracies
must rule. Its stand against Cleveland's
nomination was taken by Tammany
hall with so much earnestness and de
as to give rise to the suppo
sition that the feelings of its members
were too much enlisted against him to
enable them to support him /; and it is
greatly to the credit of the organi-
xati0ns and says much Tor the
wisdom of its leaders, tina. they have
been able to sacrifice their prejudices to
their judgment of the political necessity
of sustaining their party. A great many
of these Democrats of prominence who
have rayed wildly against John Kelly
and Tammany Hall, for their decided
expression of their honest opinions,
would have been wholly unable to dis

Mr.. MOrOsinf's Lesson.

Mr. Morosini has not found his daugh.
ter, but he has plenty OF reporters to
seek his company and serve as lightning
rods for his indignation. He is very
mad. He is going to kill his coachman
s0n-in. law at sight. He did not raise
his daughter, he declares, with any
intention that she should be coach
mans bride. He gave her $500 month
and diamonds and everything she
wanted. She was handsome, ornamen-
tai girl, filling with joy her fathers heart
to contemplate. Mr.. Morosini thinks
that her accomplishments are thrown
away on stableman's s bride, and doubt
less he is right.
- lie might have saved money if he had
kneNn her destiny. But he should com
memo scs himself the old saying that
there IS no use in crying over spilled
mix. lie should calm himself and see
whether he cannot get better outcome
with his remaining daughters. He
should radically change his methods in
two particulars. He should not give
them everything they want in the way of
cash and personal property, and he
should give them some part of what
they want in the shape of the society of
young men.
Mr.. M0rosini denied to the coachman's
wife the acquaintance and society of
any other men than his servants and so

could try the same trick in another shape
on his daughter, and make her despise
men because she hadn't any, and love
instead the jewels and horses and coin,

Morosini knows now that no amount

Stabbed IN q school Room,

Friday morning the public high school
of West Chester, was the scene OF much
excitement, owing to a small boy, named
Charles Samples, deliberately stabbing a
companion, name Wilmer Palmer, as the
latter was passing from class room TO
his seat. The wound was made by a
good sized pocket knife in the thigh, and
it is said that young Samples did the act
without ,provocation, he being solely
actuated through a love for sanguinary
exploits. The injured boy was taken into
the principals room, whence, after being
peoperly cared for, he was taken to his
home. The young desperate will most
likely be arrested and punished for his
offense.
