Political Matters.
NEW YORK June 23d.-The Commercial this
evenings swings around fully into support of
Blaine and the Republican party. 1t says: We
hope to show soon that the issues of the cam
paign are not likely to be made by any indiyid-
ual, or any small coterie of individuals but by
the two great parties themselves, and that they
will not turn upon personalities.

| cratic COngreSsmeu and others here that John
| Kelly and Tammany Hall have called meet
| ing of prominent Democrats in New York this
week for the purpose of consulting regarding
| the Presidential nomination. The movement is
supposed to be intended the Inauguration of
opposition to Cleveland's nomination, and il is
alleged to be melted bya desire ojustify rebellion
against the unit rule in the New York delegation.
in case majorityOfthe delegates should be found
| to favor Cleveland. 1t is not known who are
| invited, but as Morrison, Carlisle Bayard and
| DOrsheimer are said to be among the number,
the conclusion is reached that the conference is
| TO be mainly made up of Free Trade Democrats.
| THE HERALD" on THE WEST
NEW YORK, June 23d.-The Herald in an edi-
torial on THE West says The most reckless
| and INSCRIPTIONS elements of the West, how
ever seized control of the effete and corrupt Re-
| publican party. Blaine is the candidate of a
l
Democrats appeal by the men they nominate to
| the whole country-to the East, the Middle
States and the South, as well as to the conserva-
| tive elements of the West which were ridden
down rough-shod the other day by the nomina-
| ton of Blaine and Logan. 1t is better for the
! country, the people of the whole Union, to de-
| eide this question now at the ballot-box peace
fully, than later with iAes in their hands.

| loaded editorial, urges the Democracy to insist

| so adrotly used against him among the work
ngfnen in this city that it is an insurmountable
| obstacle Tilden must be nominated, either
with his consent or without it, and the conse-
| uuences can be safely left with the Almighty.
| He is the only Democrat who can be elected.

TROUBLE FEARED FROM TAMMANY.
WASHINGTON. June 2Sd.-A prominent Demo-
cratic Senator, who returned from visit to New
| York this morning, in conversation with your
| correspondent, said: " 1t looks very much Us
| though Tammany Hall intends making trouble
| for the Democratic party at Chicago next month.
While | favor the nomination of Bayard and
believe him to be the strongest man by all odds
| that we could select, ! am certain that a very
| large majority of the Democrats in New York
desire Cleveland TO be nominated. Tammany
| went to the Saratoga Convention, and was given
! greater representation than she originally de
| manded. The organization took part and ac-
| guessed in everything | have good informa-
| ton that Tammany is now working to secure
| the benefits OF the unit rule adopted by the
| State Convention.
| why did not the Cleveland men instruct for
| him at Saratoga, if they were i'll pronounced
majority? asked the correspondent
| For an excellent reasOn-that it was mex
| pedient to attempt to instruct the delegation.
| Had instructions been attempted there would
| undoubtedly have been some opposition, and
| straightway a report would have been circu-
| lated that the New York Democracy was
| divided. As it was, the Cleveland men made
| the temporary and the permanent organization.
| They admitted Tammany with larger repre-
| sentation than it expected, and they adopted
| the unit rule. No language can too strongly
| condemn the persistent hostile attitude of Tam
many to the known wishes of the Democratic
| voters of New York. Notwithstanding Tam
| manys conduct | believe Cleyeland's friends
Will be able TO hold out against the organization
| successfully, and that he will be nominated on
| the second or third ballot"
TIE ADMINISTRATION AND THE REPUBLICAN
TICKET.
| WASHINGTON, June 23d.-The Star tonight
| says: . \ statement has been published that
| the President and members of the Cabinet have
| assumed rather an Indifferent attitude toward
| the Chicago ticket the basis for this view being
| that the candidates have received no assurance
| from any member of the Administration of their
| support further than the rather formal telegram
| which the President sent to Blaine Immediately
| on his nomination. II Is further cited as an
additional ground for the belief that the present
| Administration is rather lukewarm toward the
| candidates, that none of the members of the
Cabinet were present at the ratification meeting
| held in front of the City Hall last week and
that they made no response " the invitation to
! attend"
| The attention of one of the members of the
| Cabinet was called to these statements this
morning by a star reporter, and he at once said
| " If there is any member of the cabinet opposed
| TO the candidates, or any one who does not in
| tend TO support them in the coming canvass |
| have yet to hear of such a one. Any statement
that intends to convey an opposite impression is
| erroneous, and has no foundation as far as |
| know. In fact, as to members of the Cabinet
not attending the ratification meeting, he con-
| tinued, that Is very easily accounted for. Our
invitations stated that we would be expected to
| speak, but l received one intimaton from
| L II
| had been concluded not to include the Cabinet
| among the speakers. / did not suppose it was
| necessary that l should attend, and did not do
| 50. 1t was understood among those who had
| charge of the meeting. and if there had been q
desire to have letters of regret read at the meet
| ing, is done sometimes, l suppose that we
| would have been so informed
| THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY.
| New YORK, June 23d.-At a meeting of the
| County Democracy tonight, it was announced
| that 525 members would go to the Convention at
| Chicago Commissioner Thompson offered q
resolution, instructing the representatives of the
several districts to organize Cleveland clubs in
their localities, and to form a general club when
| they reached Chicago Colonel John r. Fellows,
| District Attorney, seconded the resolution. He
said he believed that two-thirds OF the New York
| delegates to Chicago were in favor of Cleveland.
! He was the best man the Democracy had had
since the time of Andrew jackson.

| Means. Simeon Z. Baldwin, +. Tyler and theirs

| the NATIONAL ltcpuDlCan convention IN Chicago
| has in its platform departed from the principles
| on which the party was founded, and from the
| purposes for which the party exists: that the
| Convention has still further disappointed those
| who desire pure administration and an
| advance in the standard of political action by
| the nomination OF james g. Blaine and John
| ~ Logan that it is the true duty of every man
| who Is in sympathy with the principles of Re
| publicanism to stand by those principles even
| though the party may desert them that these
| candidates are unworthy OF Our support that Il
| committee be appointed by the Chairman,
| which committee shall nominate and report a
| standing committee of y, including themselves
/ in this number, TO correspond with other bodies

resent the sentiment of this meeting at any gen
| eral conference which may be called.
