THERE is a frequent hint Of coming
Democratic victory in the very air.
There have been few such absolute col.
lapses as that OF the Blaine "boom." II
was siekly from the frat, but II has now
become downright moribund. The re-
sponses to the nomination Of Cleveland
and Hendricks have been spontaneous
aud enthusiastic all over the United
States. Nowhere have they been
warmer or more general than in the EN-
pife State itself II one pauses TO ana
lyze the situation there is really re-
markable similarity between the current
campaign and that Of 1876. Then as
now New York had a reform Governor,
and then as now the people of the Unit,d
States were DESTROYS Of advancing him
to high station. Now, MS then, John
Kelly was mutlnous, and now as then
he is opposed to the preference OF the
overwhelming mass OF his fellow citizens.
To give the due impressivoDess to the
Car Of Juggernant II mist roll over
somebody, and John Kelly will do us
we'll for that purpose as any other man.
II he does not quickly stand from under,
all that will be left of him will be q
grease spot History repeats itself even
in the case Of such insignificant persons
as John Kelly. The man representing
reform in New York, aud who triumphed
in 1879, will triumph again In 1884.

No Democrat can fail to be highly
pleased with the platform formulated at
Chicago. Notwithstanding the carping
remarks OF Benjamin Franklin Butler it
is altogether the most luminous 1ocu-
ment of which the assembled >. emoeracy
have acquitted themselves in years.
The tariff question is handled in spec
tally sagaoious and satisfactory manner,
and tho clause devoted to it is to be in
terpreted in the line of that moderate
incidental protection which is made in.
evitable by the needs OF the government,
which is all that any true Democrat
could exact, 1t is substantially the
Ohio platform over again. which ex.
plains the energy with which it was adj
vocated by Mr.. Converse, who has
directly antagonized Mr.. Hurd, of his
own State, and the other free traders
who supported the Morrison bill during
the last session of Congress. This fea-

able to Californians who, while they do
not wish to add to the burdens of the
people, think that the necessities OF
raising large sums of money for the
maintenance of the government ought
to be awaited of to protect, in part, the
wines, brandies and other products of
this State. The Chicago platform not
only abounds in very happy definitions
OF Democratic principles but il is mas
terly arraignment OF the Rerubl can
party. No orator or editor during the
coming campaign will put into more
cogent or eloquent form the leading OBJ
jections to the Republican party than
have the trainers of this notable and to
be memorable instrument. 1t is as com.
pact, sucenct and crushing as the i'm
mortal declaration OF Independence.

bricks has added greatly to the strength
of the Democratic ticket. Whether as

reer has beer one calculated to extort
the unqualified admiration of friend and

elected Vice President just eight years

one of the most graceful and winning

of our citizens will remember that he
