NEW YORK, June 26.-Tt is to be hoped
that the advocates Of Gov. Cleveland as
the Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency will not be frightened from sup
porting him because Of the attitude OF
Tammany Hall. If he should be nOmi-
mated he VIII receive as many Tammany
votes as any other candidate would. II

when election day came Mr.. Tilden re-

interests Of the local and national tickets
being identical, John Kelly had no motive

sacrificed his spite TO the welfare Of the
party. For, 10 give the devil ais due,

accordingly.
As the programme is now arranged, the
events Of 1876, so far as local issues are
concerned, are to be repeated, and not
those OF 1880. There is to be but one
Democratic city ticket, which will re-
ceive the support Of the united DemOcTa-

Cleveland quite as unanimously as it did

interests Of the Tammany local ticket,
and no candidate will be able TO poll the
Republican vote which Cleveland would

Cleveland with Tammany opposed to him
than 10 nominate another man with John
kelly's good Will.
TIE REPUBLICANS ARE GHOULS.
Whenever 1t suits their purpose the
adnerents Of one faction use the corpse of
Garfield as a club to clay Outr those Ofthe
other. During the FOlger campaign, the
administration organs printed the worst
stories which were then told about Gar
field TO prove how much better a man his
successor was. Now halfb-reeds are try
ing To prove Garfield one Of the worst
men who ever lived in order to make
Blaine appear comparatively yirtuOUs by
contrast. They are not satisfied with
taking the ground that in cases where
Garfield was proved 10 be guilty, the
Scotch verdict of mot proven applies to
Blaine. On the contrary, they are will
ling TO acknowledge Blaine to be bad if
they can prove Garfield worse.
A city OfiicehOlder, speaking in my
hearing the other day OF the Independent
and other religious organs being opposed
10 Blaine, saidi 1T is a premium on
hvrj;ce@risv. Il Blaine were hypOcrite as
Carup,n vas. and hid his misdoings under
a cloak of saneu1y, these very papers
would support him as they did Garfield"
Not satisfied with declaring that Gar
field borrowed the livery of heaven to
serve the devil in, Blaine's supporters
here insist that the late President, in adj
ditiOn to being bride taker and perjurer,
was an immoral man and a dTunkard.
Glow about the old Washington apple
wOmans' is a cOnundrum they are fond
of asking. II you ''give it up" they Will
tell you that the old apple woman had a
handsome daughter on whom Garfield
wasted the money he gained through cor
ruptiOn! The mother is consequently the
trichest apple woman in the world.
The most extraordinary part Of all this
is that the very men who thus denounced
Garfield, four years ago declared that he
was the best and the purest Of mankind.
They, therefore, are not only eating their
own words, but they are Out-denouncing
his worst denOuncers. 1t remains to be
seen how many boilers viii be induced to
vote for an acknOwledgedly bad man now
because they voted for s. worse man, if
Republicans are TO be believed, four years
ago. The boilers, l know, who are not in
office, are rendered indignant by this mode
OF argument. Oficeholders are not so
proof against it;

accounting for her sad fate. and invest
her wish pr0pOrtiOnate grace and beauty.
The Morning Journal, on these occasions,
always trOts out a student lover, for
whose sake the beautiful maiden either
kills herself or runs away. The Journal
especially stopped OVER last week in
describing the disappearance Of Loie
Austin, the daughter of a st. Lawrence
county farmer. The student lover did
double duty on this occasion. He
first fitted Miss Austin, and then
married her rival. Getting divorced
from the latter, he was about to
return to his first love when death claimed
him. Miss Austin, thus dOubly heart
broken, naturally wandered away from
her country home in a ut Of melanchOlia.
OF course, she was described as being as
beautiful as she was unhappy. The de-
scription furnished by her brother says
that her nose is crooked, her front teeth are
perceptibly separated, and that she 'has
quite large feet for woman The Jour
RGrS description, however, is quite as
true as the rest of its story. Miss Austin,
by the way, has been found in Rome. \. \ :.
Although, as this shows, the Journal is
sometimes liable 10 rely on dime novels
for its facts, it has, nevertheless, scored
two sfbears' on all the other New York
papers within the past fortnight, which
