WHAT THEY SAY.

A REAL MEAN ALLUstoN.
Ne,g I'0rt Truth.


II is really very funny TO hear tho Tribune |
bowling at ono Of It's contemporaries as
British organ. Not long ago, both in its edi- |
torlal columns and Its London correspond |
enoo, the Tribune was more Intensely anti
Irish than even the London Tines. So pro.
nouncod was its 1unkeyism over everything
English that for n long time its circulation
was confined to the Anglicised American
dudes. who took IL because IL was so awfully
English, you know. Circumstances alter
cases, however Blaine wants to capture tho
Irish vote and so his champion organ forgots
all about It's abuse of Irishmen and its sym
psthy with England in the oppression of
Ireland, and points the finger of scorn at It's
rival as q British organ because Its editor de-
olines 20 support tattoood candidate. What
tho Tribune had better do is to burn oil Its
fllcs since Horace dreeley's death, 50 that no
evidence oC It's intense admiration OF every
thing English and It's proud disdain of every
thing Irish may bo unearthod
DEMocRAcY's ONLY HOPE.
NetD York Journal.
Mr.. Flowers funny canvass has wited,and
Governor Cleveland will practically receive
tho vote of New York nt Chicago. He has
the largo majority Of tho delegates and his
naino will go before the convention with u
strong democratic and a certain republican
backing, aud the loud but debatabo asser-
tion that he can carry the State of New York,
Indiana has trotted out her "layorite SON."
Mcdonald. Delaware sends the name of
Bayard. Massachusetts, will come with But
Ter. From at least dozen states "layoriio
sons" will be brought forward but to mono
will attach tho interest OF the name pre-
sented by tho Now York delegation. Upon
Now York's electoral vote will depend the
presidency and IL the national convention
does not take up Cleveland 1t must give its
party man much stronger, or the Blaine
logions will run away with democrats and
independents alike.
ALWAYS THE WINNERS FRIENDS.
NotB lork World.
The result of the convention at Saratoga is
plainly compromise for the sake of peaoo
aud harmony. Neither side cared to risk
tust of strength. The friends and supporters
Of Gov. Cleveland will bo satisfied with the
result of Wednesdays work. The delega-
tion to Chicago will present the governors
name to tho national convention, and il will
bo warmly and heartily sustained. 1t has
been demonstrated that the opposition to him
comes from disappointed representatives Of
| local factions and the machineites who are
generally opposed to better men and methods
| of government.
Nh JONES Is SATISFIED.
Neto York Times.
It Is tolerably certain that the New York
delegation in the national convention will be
| prepared to present Cleveland's name and give
| i've opposition shown from his own state. If
the representatives Of the party from the rest
| OF tho country arc ready to accept him on his
record, and on the assurance that he is the
choice Of this state, he will be nominated. If
tho convention at Chicago shows as much
prudence and sngacity, candidate will be
named who will unto the opposition to the
unfortunate nomination made there two
weeks ago.
THE pIsTRUsT OF AN ALLY.
New York Times
Tammany IA the most elusive and uncer-
| tain factor that any political party ever had
to deal with. 1t may, and probably will,
promise its hearty support TO Cleveland, Bay
| ard, or whoever may b0 tho candidate named
of this promise will depend wholly upon the
state of the political market as studied by
Mr.. John Kelly in the two or three weeks
preceding the election. And this is q fact of
which nti-Blaino republicans should take
note.
| WHAT 1T DOES NOT MEAN.
| NetO York Titiih.
Tho work accomplished at Saratoga is not
| as encouraging as it might have been. Con :
cession may mean harmony among the bosses,
| but 1t does not mean success at Chicago or
victory over Blaine. As matters now look,
tho democratic delegation from New York is
going to Chicago in July as the republican
against itself.

ONE SUBSTANTIAL RESULT.

Tho substantial result Of the days labor il
that the democracy had an enthusiastic anC
harmonious convention, and that the party
sends from this state TO Chicago delegation

Tho boiling independents are disposed tC
object In the newspapers to the attention
they are receiving, but they must remembe
that theirs is tho only division of tho demo
cratic army which has come out of cover, an,
for tho present, at least, there is nothing els

POOR MILITARY TACTICS.
Indianapolis Journal.
The idea of the Independent" republicans
seems to be that soldiers of the line and thei
officers may desert just before any big battl
! and rojoin their command afterward with
out prejudice" How does it strike you?
