The WorKlnpman-Rntler.

We do not know that Governor CLavB-
LAND has been sdvised by Mr.. TnDss or
anybody else TO "hold back" his letter Of
acceptance, nor that he is holding it back
for any reason, but we find the following
paragraph on the subject in the New York
1tibrsne OF yesterday:
"Did Nj. Tilden advise Governor CleYe-
land on Tuesday 90 hold back his letter Of
acoeptance' Is the obiec! OF this further
delay Just announced intended 10 keep
General Butler quiet "a long az possible.
And does il not all indicate that the Demo-
erals are terribly anxious about the work
ingmen's votoi"
That 10 a pregnant paragraph. II tells .
good dea! by its implications
First. 1, implies that the Democratic
party Is the party OF the workingnen.
For BLAINE organ 70 admit that the run
ming OF BIrLrR as workingman's eau
didafo will take votes from CLEVELAND Is
TO say In ef.s. that the worklngmen are
for the most part Democrats. Otherwise,
BUTLER would draw OF vot@ from
BLAINE.
Secondly, the paragraph quoted indi-
ca.es that the Blaineites may be In collision
with BOILER. Assuming that his candi-
dscy will benefit BLAME and not CLIvs-
LAND, BUTLEE proposes boldly to attack
CLEvBLAsD's letter. Il that the yri6tine's
ldea' lie has BLAISE's letter; why not al
tack BLAINE! Why should he keep quiet
when BLAISB's letter has been before him
