Thomas +. Grady, late member of the
New York senate and AN active demo-
cratic politician of the Tammnny school,
committee, Mr., Grady was one Of tho
Tammany delegates to tho national dem
ocratic convention, and was the leader
in the fight against the nomination Of
Cleveland. Ho was beaten, and for the
time being accepted the situation,
although he made no promise as to his
future political course.
After six weeks deliberation Mr.
Grady has formally severed his connection
with tho committee. and II Ia said that
he intends to take tho stump for Butler.

Another Fugitive Bank President.

Another Fugitive Bank President.
This has been bad year for bank
presidents. A great many fair repu-
tations have boon wrecked. The
shrinkage in securities put every bank
officer who had been spoculating with
other peoples money to q severe test and
not few of them broke down and con-
fessed their criminality by flight. Mr..
Albert S. Warner, of Albion, N. Y,
started about week ago to join the
colony of American bank presidents
who have been locating themselves in
Canada during the summer, but his ab-
sence did not cause much alarm until tho
bank of which he was president closed its
doors on Thursday. The fact then came
out that Mr.. Warner had locked the safe
before his departure, taking the combina-
ton known only to himself with him,
and tho other officers Of the bank kept it
open for nearly week without knowing
whether it had any assets or not. They
have not yet been able to get into the
safe.
The fugitive bank president Is also
trustee for an estate amounting to somc
$4,0O0,0O0, and it is supposed that the
whole of this has been squandered. An
effort was being made to compel him to
file an account OF his trusteoship, but the
processes Of courts Of equity are pro.
verbally slow, and Before he could bt
brought to face the swindled heirs he got
entirely out of the jurisdi ction Of the
Judge who issued the order. He tooi
care to mortgage all his property u
various persons who loaned him money
before his departure, so that the banl
has nothing to fall back upon, and tn,
heirs to the estate which he has squan
dered arc without remedy. They vii
not even have tho poor satisfaction o

clarcd for Cleveland, aud rather than
divide the club and destroy its effective
ness rs local reform organization the
question Of formally indOrsing the candi.

waived. This circumstance has probably
magnifed the oxtentand importance oftho
independent movement in Brooklyn. The
great republican mass meeting on Thurs'
day will tend TO correct tho impression
that there Is q serious republican defec-
ton in tho city of churches. The dis

GEN. HAZEN, chief signal officer, does
not make strong case in his explanation
of the cause of tho hostility of the Now

overestimates the influence of newspaper
abuse of individuals. He will probably
have an opportunity to elaborate his
statements before an investigating com
mittee of some sort this winter. He
doubtless now realizes that it would have
been the part of wisdom to force an issue
on the finding of the court of inquiry in
the Proteus matter. Time has not

LAYING DOWN THE LAW.
Impure Men Not the Proper Persons
TO FIJI Pubiic Offices OF Any Hand.

NeiO York independent
Aman notorious for personal social vices,
no matter how honest he may be, is no fit
man to be elected to the humblest office.
Be he drunkard or a libertino, his ele-
walton to an honorable place honors his
character, aud no Christian man ought to
help honor such character. Who wants
his wife or daughters to think, as they are
introduced to the governor of their state,
or their member Of congress, that he Is q
drunkard or debauche? There is o
shame about the very idea which should
strain the hand that casts tho ballot.
The remedy is simple, but will not be
applied. 1t consists in performing the
simple duty of attending primary meet
ings and voting there for good candidates.
If our honest and pure-minded citizens,
men of character and repute, our ministers
and church members, as we'll as the rum
shop hangers-on, would do their duty, we
would not find conventions and caucuses
controlled in the interest of corrupt and
immoral men.

Queer Frea,ss Of Journalistic scruples


In contrast with the shamelessness Of
this exposure (tho Groely horror may,
however, be mentioned the creditable ret
icence Of the same papers about report
ing painful story affecting a public man
1--WE do not refer to Mr.. Cleveland) whose
name is before the public. Such story,
with full details and asserted afiidavits,
was offered the other day to all
the New York morning papers, and
declined. to their credit, by
them ALL 1t is said to have been ac-
'cepted and published by a less scrupulous
Chicago paper, but thus far no other
journal has copied it unless 1t be the In
dianapolis paper against which suit of
libel is said to have been brought. The
queer freaks Of journalistic scruples are
past finding out. We seem to be in that
transition stage in which there is a grow
ing consciousness that to tell shameful
things is shameful. but in which the old
passion for sensationalism has not yet
been mastered. Our chaste English Lam
guage has invented no familiar names for
some crimes: and 1t must blush to be
forced to toll such tales as that which has
made tho past week shiver.

attendance and the meeting was in all
respects one ofthe most effective demon-
strations of the campaign.


A prohibition electoral ticket, or rather
the seven.oights Of an electoral ticket,
has been named by the executive com
mittoo OF the Maryland State Temperance
alliance. For some reason or other no
elector was named for the fifth district.
Since the overwhelming defeat Of local
option in st. Mary's county 1t may be
that tho alliance has ceased to take any
interest in tho moral we'll boiug of the
lowcr section Of the western shore"
Or perhaps IL is difficult to find q gentle
man qualified 10 act as a prohibitionist
olector in n region that has recently
shown such decided aversion TO pro.
hibition.
The state temperance alliance seems to
have undertaken to do tho campaign
work Of tho temperance party. We
think the electoral ticket is composed
entirely of members of the alliance, and
Mr.. Daniel, tho prohibitionist candidate
for vice president, is president of tne
alliance. 1t is seldom that great politi-
cal enterprise can bo conducted with 80
little disturbance OF the ordinary opera
.tions of business and with so little
intrusion upon tho general public. All
the requisite machinery is already in
existence aud the gentlemen who manage
IL have been In their places for great
many years.
Tho alliance Is also contemplating the
nomination Of temperance candidates in
the several congressional districts of the
state. Wo suppose there is rs much
reason for running temperance candi-
dates for congress US there IL for running
temperance candidates for the presidency
and vice presidency but the consequences
may be moro disastrous to tho cause of
temperance and the cause OF morality.
The Maryland delegation in tho last con-
gress was composed mainly of practical
temperance men, although thoy wore not
elected upon that issue. A division of
votes caused by the running Of distinct
lively temperance candidates might have
put men of less moral rectitudo in their
places.
In the present campaign 1t is possible
for the temperance people to deprive the
country Of the services of able, conscien-
tious men. who in their personal habits
and lives come up to the standard of the
strictest moralists, by intruding an issue
into the canvass over which the national
government has no Jurisdiction. When
n temperance candidate runs for congress
and is defeated tho result is interpreted
| as n victory for tho oppononts of prohibit
tion. whereas If the issue had been avoided
q candidate might have been elected who
would have illustrated in his life, If moi
in his votes, the excellence OF the princi'
pies to which he Processes to be specially
devoted. Why should temperance
democrat, for instance, vote against Mr.
Findlay? Or why should temperance
republican vote against Mr.. Holtoh or Mr
