THE NEW WORKERS.

The Democratic desire to find candidate
who can unite their own party In New York,
and at the same time call to his support the
Republican independents, has not reached .
happy fruition SO far. Bayard doomed up
strong, but the Sun came out with his anti
war letter In Its usual malignant way, and
slightly withered his blooming boom. Cleve-
land is not regarded Is big enough peg for
the hole, or II he Is, It has not been demon
strated, and John Kelley has score to set
tie with him. II he does not get Kelley he
loses the Tammany wing, and II he gets
Kelley 1t will be on terms Of sale that will
mako the Independents vince. Flower,
Notwithstanding he Is regarded as the legstee
OF Tilden, is not In excellent standing, but
Is . good worker, and wants 1t. The con-
vention 10 now In session ut Saratoga to Sc
lect delegates to Chicago, and the impression
Is trading delegation will be agreed upon.
The struggles Of Tammsny and Irving Hall
tho practical and dilettante elements Of
New York Democratic machine politics--is
always watched with interest, II not benefit,
by the country at large; but they now have
intensely interested observers In the Repub-
licsn Independents Of New York, whose sx-
cuse and future action 80 largely depend
upon the Democratic nominations and plat
form. We have no further respect for the
George William Curtis sex Of politics, and
hope the Democracy will give the country
such platform and men - will make their
crow nauseating. Men who will delibsr-
ately 90 into convention ss they did, and
will not stand the result, simply demand
that they shali be allowed to dictate TO oil
the rest Of the party who shall and who shall
not be its nominees, even though they are
pltiful minority. This policy would break
up any party II Il could, - would the prin.
ciple break up our form Of Government.
They are too toploftical for . Republican
form Of Government, too slippery and dudish
for everyday politics, and II they get such
dose Of Democracy as the Republicans Of the |
country hope for, II will be good one. The |
tail will be taught that 1t cannot wag the dog,
but may be cut OF.

Egypt, and Greece, returning In 1858. In

"The election laws of Montana are hos
pitable to settlers, and liberal In all respects;
but the people Of the Territory have too high
an estimate of the elective franchise TO per.
init It to be debauchsd. Elections 10 the
past have been notably free from fraud and
corruption. To this rule the election OF
1882 formed . monstrous exception. The
honest citizens Of the Territory saw their
will defeated by the unlawful votes Of q
horde Of non-residents, and by even more
fragrant frauds. 1t Is not surprising that
they were moved to burning indignation,
which Ii by no means circumscribsd by party
lines. The contestant feels that he Is less q
party In interest In this case than trustee
who appears on behalf of the people of Mon.
tana, who have been impudently and def
