Hoisted by Their Own Petard.

1t has been the custom in New York for
tional Democratic conventions to vote as a
unit as the majority may determine. The
convention this year adhered to that custom.
The Tammanyites, believing that they had a
majority i'll the Saratoga convention, voted for
the unit rule, and it was carried by unani-
nous vote. After the delegates were selected,
it was apparent that more than two-thirds
favored the nomination of Grover Cleveland
for President Tammany then undertook to
break the unit rule. They planned and
planned, and took their grievance before the
national convention, but the convention de-
cided that they had no right to abrogate the
prcrogatives of Il state. Many delegates who
did not believe in the unit rule, could not
vote to uIdo that which the Democrats of a
sovereign state unanimously adopted, and so
the twenty-three delegates who opposed Mr..
Cleveland had to sit and have their votes re-
corded against their convictions ON all ques-
tons and in favor of the candidate they pro-
posed. 1t was amusing to the balance of the
cohNeHloh, put also just idu 1ahHnauy
had minority, bare majority, they would
have enforced the unit rule. Senator Grady,
the ''Tammany Jack in the box would have
argued as forcibly in favor of the unit rule as
he did against it, and the convention would
no doubt have sustained it. The Cleveland
men, however, had more than two-thirds, and
acting under instructions from their state
convention insisted upon voting together.
Although the unit rule has prevailed for
some time, Tammany Hall only discovered
its unjustness when they found themselves
constituting less than one-tlfird of the delega-
ton. Before the discovery they voted for
the unit instructions. They were literally
hoisted 10y their own petard, while the whole
country laughed at their dilemma.

;ectnring as to how il came there. There was
y rumor afoat that the cemeteryat MT, Union
had been entered by swine or cattle Report
saws the skull was resurrectcd BY the SWINE
and carried to Mexico by q monster OF the
canine species. We visited the cemetery
and find that no damage had been done save
the upsetting of several headstones.. There is
no doubt if the skull could speak for itself 1t
would reveal crime more shocking than the

This convention Was assembled to consider
great cause; 10 pronounce momentoas
Judgment. Its hand was on the helm of u
mighty nation. Earth's greatest, nobest, free
society would rejoice in the well-considered
work of this convention. Its import and
value lay not in the hope of mere party VIC
tory in 1clutchiBg the spoils of Office. The
opportunity was pregnant with mighty posi-
party, which bad recently had its eonyention
here, had rendered nothing worthy % the fer
vent aspirations Of the people, To q country
rejoicing in restored unity and concord it ten
dered the renewal of sectional strife. To o
nation that felt the impulse of mighty growth
it offered the inspiration of national calamity
and misfortune. To proud and sensitive
people demanding dcliyerance from dishonor-
ing corruption, demanding deeepcy in seek
ing and cleanliness in holding public station,
itoffered the guilty arts of skillfnl demagogery.

ton and amlqq4ltlon:
The air was already EHa4 with vapors of
visionary schemes addressed to vaPis4s inter,

expect advantage from the chaotic possibili-
ties of foreign var; Others we're promised re-
lief or gain from legalized raids on the rational
treasury. Great change has been wrought IN
