Carter Harrison thinks there will be q

mated. Carter's desire to have the sage of
Gramercy at tho head Of the democratic

nicer to BIO beaten as tail of the national than

The formal entrance of Mr. Malone and his

determined upon, and is announced officially

vention. Possibly Mr.. Dezenderf and others
cherish the hope that the republican party
will decline to receive the new corners. But

All our democratic exchanges arc in
ecstasies over the letter sent to the Chicago
| Iroquois club by Samuel j. Tilden. They
| pronounce 1t the ablest document which ever
emanated from any politician in this country.
| This was to be expected. The bourbon organ
will praise anything labeled "Tilden." The
letter has absolutely nothing in it worthy of
note. 1t u.s. in fact, exceedingly common

who is acting as Tildens secretary. The old

Congressman Hewitt may boi an able man,
but he has an unfortunate habit of going off
half cooked. On Wednesday he made most
| serious charge against the secretary OF the
navy, alleging that he had not accounted for
a large sum Of money received from the sale
of naval vessels, and was Immediately con-
fronted with evidence that he was mistaken.
He is the same Hewitt who pronounced the
forged Morey letter genuine. He is so hot q

republican iniquity, that his credulity makes
him absurd.-lfNlOaukee Sentinel.

SO far as young men are in earnest in poll
tics and are willing to prove their earnest
| ness by their works, so far will the republic
can party award them recognition. The
only limit to a mans influence in the party
is the ono he sets himself by the force of his
| ideas and the energy by which he strives
to give them expression. At the caucuses, at
conventions, at the polls, the republican
party thrills with the life of young blood.
In November it will win, because it is the
young mems party.-Albdny Journal.
There were times when men had lofty
and noble conception of patriotism. Sacri-
fees that went to enhance the glory of the
nation, to make more sure its place among
the states of the world, or to advance its
prosperity, were counted nothing. Men
served the state without any thought of max.

guided to a present conclusion by the conduct
of Mr.. Randall and his followers in this mat.

however reluctantly, that at least a large
