The Party,s Harmony.

cratic national committee and no
better selection could be made, nor one
10 good. Mr.. Randall, who has been
named for the place. says that he could
not accept II unanimously rendered him.
Doubtless he has no inclination for the
honor, but IL ha.had, he would not feel
inclined to compete with Mr.. Wallace
for 1t, not only because he recognizes the
particular Fitness Of Mr.. Wallace for the
place by reason OF his natural aptitude
for It and the training he has had IN It's
duties, while chairman so long OF the
Pennsylvania committee, but also
because he is indebted to Mr.
Wallace for the effective and
earnest support he gave his candl'
dacy at Chicago. These leaders
have learned that the best road to indi-
yidual success is the one which gives the
best results to their party and their
country, and in travelling it, harmony of
effort among those proclaiming common
political objects is a prime essential.
They are cordially in cooperation now in
the strong pull that is to be made to
restore their party to its control of the
government of the country. There Is a
general party feeling that calls upon all
the party servants to work together, and
there will be no opportunity afforded to
any Democrat hopeful of future stand
ing in the party to balk the party pro
gress. Nor is there such disposition any.
where. General Butler and John Kelly
have come back from the convention
sore over the small consideration with
which their views were received there
bat neither they nor their friends will be
found tagging in the Democratic march.
They have no such disposition, and
would not have the opportunity If they
had the will. The masses will be solidIy
for the ticket; and with them the leaders
will 80. We have ourselves always en-
tertained high opinion of John kelly's
honesty and party fealty, and we do not
doubt that his influence with his organi'
zation will be used TO temper its feeling
to hearty support OF the Ticket. Cen
eral Butler is a politician of different
type, and it is only safe to conclude of
him that he will never stray from a
fold without following, AS he will
not have that in this campaign, we ex'
pect to find him shortly in loving rec.
onciliation under the banner OF
Cleveland and Hendricks. Senator
Wallace is just the man to herd the
Democratic flock. He has the tact
shrewdness and energy needed for tht
post of chairman. Mr. Barnum has no'
been a distinguished success in the place
judged by the result Of his work. TheI,
was a wholly inexcusable sacrifice of th'
electoral vote of New York, in the last
campaign, which should have been
worked off, and would bave been If Mr.
Wallace had been in the chairmanshii
then, as it is said General Hancock
wished him TO be. The Democracy lost
the vote of New York, when it was in its
hand, because the cities of New York
and Brooklyn did not give the proper
Democratic vote. 1t was there to be
gathered, but was not obtained. John
Kelly has been popularity held responsi
Bile for the detection; but it certainly was
none of his work. Daniel Dougherty,
who nominated Hancock at Cincinnati
and favored his nomination again, says
that " Tammany Hall will be in this as
she has been in every presidential cam
paign, faithful to the Democracy y
and he declares that he regards the accu
sation that Mr.. Kelly or Tammauy was
unfaithful TO General Hancock as a
slander, ard he thinks that General
Hancock regards 1t in the same light,
also. We have no doubt he does, and
that he has full knowledge of the source
whence the disaster came as the chair
man OF the national committee might
have known If he did not. 1t is a hard
task to correct q popular belief, however
erroneous, and John Kelly will probably
continue to be looked upon as a black
sheep whatever be does ; an impression
that has been greatly strengthened by
what we conceive to have been blind
ing Of his judgment by his prejudices in
his attitude at Chicago towards Cleve
land. His followers, however, Were
bshind him in it, and now need
to be handled tenderly to bt
brought into line with the party
as IL will be his aim to bring them. Under
the craftsmanship of Mr.. Wallace they
and all other malcontents will be en-
couraged to come in, There will b. II,
thought of ostracism, but the intelligen
aud jealous effort will be to Oil up th'
columns with all the old soldiers, and t
muster In all the recruits who offer L
enlist. Mr.. Wallace will not be the foo
to say, rs some silly people have already
said, that the Democracy will DO a;
well of without the support Of Kelly OF
Dana or Butler, or any other of those
who had their honest judgment reversed
at Chicago. Mr.. Wallace will want the
help Of these men, and will ask for il
and get it.
