Philadelphia was a significant political straw.
1t was gentle but emphatic hint to tariff re-
formers that the country is not ready to adopt
their wild theories. The Democratic candidate
for mayor was incomparably superior in point of
character, ability, and honesty to his competitor;
yet he was defeated in spite of the fact that he
had the Endorsement of the very men who
elected Pattison comptroller few years ago.
Why was he defeated? Because he was the
choice of a party which, by electing Carlisle
Speaker had declared itself in favor of reducing
the tariff. The tariff issue was not made in the
canvass, but it figured very largely at the polls
us it upon such thin theory as thatthat you
base your prediction of Randalls nomination."
Let me explains The country is already alarm
ed at the bare mention of the Morrison bill. The
Democratic party all over the country considers
tariff agitation at this time unwise, impotic and
dangerous. New Jersey spoke, yesterday, when
her Legislature instructed her representatives in
Congress to fight the Morrison bill. Nine out of
ten delegates who were here last week to select
place to hold the convention were outspoken
against tariff agitation in the next canvass.
This feeling is spreading in volume and intensity
every day, and by the time the convention meets
there won't be a tariff reformer left to tell the
tale. Then, the delegates will look for a safe
man, man whose record on the tariff is clear
and well defined; man who has the confidence
of the capitalists and business men of the
country; whose ability and integrity no man
dare question, and whose long experience in
Congress has well qualified him to stand at the
nations helm; a man who can poll as many
votes in New York as Sam Tilden, and who will
inherit his strength and who can carry Penn
sylvania with whOop. need not name him
there is but one man that answers that descrip-
ton, and his name is Samuel J. Randall" and
