TIE old Democratic wheel horses
were out in force at Chicago. The
"boys" did the shouting, but the
"old hosses" took charge Of the
provender, and run things"

No better evidence is wanted to
prove that the tariff plank in the
Democratic platform is a cheat and
fraud, than the fact that four-fiiths
of the representatives Of that party
in the late Congress, under the lead
of Morrison, voted for his horizontal
reduction bill, and that now this
same Morrison reported to the con-
vention the platform claimed to be
protective in its policy. Did Morrl-
son cheat Randall, or Randall cheat
Morrison, or did they combine to
cheat and gull the voters? T? There is
net particle of evidence, nay, not
even an allegation that either OF them
has experienced a change of heart.

From an editorial in the New York
Tribune of Saturday the 18th inst,
we extract the following paragraphs
giving the views Of that journal re-
garding the nomination Of Governor
Cleveland:
The Tribune has earnestly desired
the nomination Of Governor Cleve-
land, because it has believed that he
would be beaten more surely than
any other Democratic candidate.

In its last issue the Commercial
published a couple of squibs from
the Bedford Gazette and the Cum
berland Times to the effect that at
the late primaries, "the Independ-
ents succeeded in taking the scalps'
of the Stalwarts, and that the "Stal-
warts are showed under" In its de-
sire to rub it into" the Regular Re-
publicans, whom it assisted to be-
tray two years since, the Commercial
parades these silly falsehoods in its
columns, well knowing that every
man on the ticket nominated-with
the exception, perhaps-of one OF
the Auditors-claims to be, and was
voted for as Stalwart. and well
knowing that not one of them could,
or would have been nominated had
he avowed, 81 voted against General
Beaver two years since" In fact,
so intense is the sentiment, that Mr..
Critchfeld, of whose party fidelity
some doubts had been raised, was
forced, we are credibly informed, to
carry with him written vouchers and
affidavits of his party loyalty.
Again, Mr.. Critchfield received but
barely one-thlrd of the Republican
vote OF the county, and granting
which is probable-that he received
nearly the entire Independent vote,
and that his vote represents their
strength-which is not probable by
at least .thirds--the returns show
that at least two-thirds of the Re-
publican vote was polled against
him. We say this in no spirit Of
unkindness to Mr.. Critchfield, but
simply in vindication of the truth
but we again advise that he ''call of
his dogs" if he expects to receive the
full vote which his nomination en-
titles him to. Since boiling is held
to be meritorious and worthy Of
record, men are not likely to be
kicked, cuffed and bounded into
supporting a nominee whom they
opposed at the primaries. 1t ISM

in the hearts of the whole American
people, man who, if nominated,

Thurman, of Ohio. (Cheers.) For
more than twenty years Thurman
had been the boldest and ablest adj
vocate of Democratic doctrines and
Democratic principles. The only
objection urged against him was
that Ohio was an October state.
The reply TO that was that this was

worked hard, scored grent hit, and deserve
the lavish praise unstintedly bestowed upon

A very noticeable feature Of the ball, and
one which invoked favorable comment of all

of the Objectionable element that so largely
frequent most of the balls given in this city.
The Jolly Six deserve to be congratulated
for that feature alone Another noteworthy
feature was the perfect order and harmony

The Reward of the Ladies to tho Island

The Reward of the Ladies to the Island
Democrats.
The Island Democrats are rejoicing with
out cessation over the election OF Governor
Cleveland, the more so, perhaps, that they
live in all interesting Republican bailiwick.
The Democratic ladies, who are equally en-
thusiastic, are determined to have their
share Of. the fun and rejoicing and they have
prepared treat for Tuesday night. A
grand oyster supper will be spread in the
Wigwam, and the Democrat warriors will
be feasted, first the marching clubs, senior
and junior, aud then the voters generally.
After the feast the clubs will march over the
Island, while the Democratic householders
will burn red FIRE.
The ladies will wait on the feasters, and
desire all Democrats to attend. but they re-
quest that the small boy exclude himself, as
none but members Of the junior club will be
admitted.
