Political Comment.

Philadelphia North American: If the Republicans cannot carry New York after this display of folly, they deserve ds feat.
 Brooklyn Eagle (Dem.): The De- nocracy of tbe State of New York has long since ceased to be a suppllcant for favor at tue hands of any set Of men.
 Philadelphia Times; There are signs in the sIr that the Democracy in some places is getting ready to tumble into the it of its proverbisl folly.
 New York World: The Democratic ticket has no doubt been greatly strengthened by the nomination Of NIT Roawell r. Flower for Lieutenaut Gov ernor.
 Buffalo Express: The fact is, after the convention fully realized what it had done in nominating Hill. the minor offices went begging. They were in- stantly handed ont |. anybody who would take them. A ticket So made is struck with the blight of decay and de- feat as soon a- it is born.
 PbilaCelphia News: The contrast be- tween the nominees of the two parties is remarkable. On the Republican side Is Davenport, the nominee of TO ring or faction, who was chosen by the exercise of good sense aud soun1 regard for principles. On the other side IS Hill, an accidental Governor, an unscrupu- Ious politician. who has won his nomi- uation by the use of his patronage.
 New York Times: To present him, s man who has us,d the great office oi Governorof New York with constant reference to the effects of his public acts upon Lis private ambitions, who has made occssinos when they did not exist 10 show himself to be demsgogue and political sharper. to the suffrsges oi the people of this State is an act not m worthy of Tamnsny Hall end the rural spoils Democracy among whom Govern or Hill has SO carefully built up his fol lowing. To all other Democrats. and especially to all Democrats Sho wish to sustain President Clevelsnd's admins trailon, this nomination IS sn insult and a challenge. We hope to see the dis graceful action of the convention repu' disted by s formidable body of in5e' pendent Democrats.

THR general movement of troops to- wards the reservation and the presence of hostile Indians north of ia South ern Pacific railroad bas given new out look to the Indian war IL IS more than likely the hostiles had expended nearly all their ammunition, and their return became a matter of imperative necessity. The peaceful Indians on the reservation and the Indian scouts in government employ have been accused of giving munitions of war to the hos tiles, and the question of obtaining a new supply is a simple one with them. We have failed to note the successful issue of Gen. Crooks hunt for the hos tiles m the Sierra Madres, that some oi our confident contemporaries felt sure would reault an victory over ths Apaches.

 md both Republicans and Democrats indulge a hope that he will re- ;o1sider any such intention, if he las earnestly contemplated it. The .alsry of the position IS, of course, to- tally inadequate, for private practice

HE cunning saveses have been plav- Ing very bold and bloody game about the Dragons. They have killed Mike Noonan, at his cabin on the east side ot the mountaius, just north of the Middle Pass. He was shot in the breast and afterwards was struck in the breast with blunt axe. Noonan was q pros- porous cattle man and was generally respected by all his neighbors and ac- quaintsnces. His body was taken to Tombstone Friday evening. Captain Crawford and his scouts are supposed to be m the Dragons, and Captain Hat held with his command Is Elso at hand. Several other detachments are about the Cochise stronghold, where the In dians had made a rendezvous and had rounded up lot of stock. They have made sudden incursions into the sur rounding country and leisurely driven herds of cattle and horses into the strongholds without any danger to themselves from military sources. When the troops have about surrounded their rendezvous and were exuIt- ing n the prospect of a battle with the cunning wretches, they suddenly awoke to the realization that the Indians had eluded their viz ilance and have gone into Sonora with their herds. It is now known that the Indians made but teint toward the reservation, their real object being to secure new supplies of ammunition and animals, in which they have apparently been decidedly successful. They have come through the military cordon with out detection and suddenly startled the people with their murderous presence ID Arizona, and when their object has been accomplished they find DO difficulty in returning to the south by the most di- rect and practicable route. They e7i deptly pay but little attention to iht troops except desire to avoid meeting them, as a man might avoid bunch of nettles, but the disposition of the mili- tsry forces does not appear to obstruci the exercise of their freedom Of move ment They have Outgeneraled our commander and our s=ttlers' blood IS paying the dreadful penalty.

J. NJ. BERGER, charged with selling hqlor to the Papago Indians, was &C., qllited by the jury in his case last eve 1ng. We are no spologist for soy per son who violates the law m this respect, and eIcites the worst impulses of the savage nature by selling them liquor, but in inc case of Mir.

There has been a bit ter fight between the government agents md Mir Berger. and the former is ssid 'o have remarked that it was @ personal hsht and in one way or another MT. 65rger would be gotten rid of. It has eTen been intimated that the present Case was the result Of 8 conspiracy to fuln him, but how much truth there IS ID the report we will not pretend to Say.

Tug Silver City Enterprise says a number of tine chiefs of the MescalerC Apaches, have announced at Lss Cruces that they will go on the war path un- less certain conditions are complied with by the government. This Is powerful and dangerous triDe and is more to be feared than old Victorio ever was. There are only sixty of the tribe on the reservation that threaten to break out, bgt it feared the entire tribe will fol- low in case these savages go on the war path. The people in the southern part of the TsrritJry are greatly dis, turbei over the prospects Cf hE cpep war with these Indians. An outbreak oi tbis hInd would be very fatal to the country, and should be prevented st once. It Is doubtless this expressed feeling of hostility that has brought Geronimo and his bosti!es up from So- nora, and if they are permitted to join forces a lively time may be expected.

 IL is all founded on fiction. The law does protect e mans property.
