The Retirement Of Kelly.

IRON the NATION, new Iofh.J
The sale of his newspaper, the Star,
probably marks the final disappearance
Of John Kelly as boss in local poll
tics. He staked everything on the No
vembcr election and lost. A fortnight
before election he was confident of his
ability to achieve two momentous ends
the defeat of Cleveland for the presi-
dency and the practically complete pos
session of the government of this city
for him elfby the election of his straight
Tammary ticket. His plans were so
well la;d. and the "deal" with the
Blaine Republicans was so perfect in
all its details, that both they and he
had not fear of defeat. So confident
were the Blaine managers that they
abandoned all work in the State outside
the city, and depended absolutely
and undoubtingly upon Tammany's
treachery for victory. And they
would have won but for the nomination
of Mr.. Grace for mayor. His candi-
dacy weakened the {" deal v most dis
astrously in two ways. In the first
place, it undermined the solidity of
Kelly's column by presenting an hon
orcd Catholic for the Office. In the
second place, it drew thousands of Re
publican votes, because Of Mr.. Grace's
admirable record as faithful and hon
est mayor. The nomination ofno other
man could have done this, and from the
moment the County Democracy yielded
to the Citizens Committees demands
and accepted Mr.. Grace's candidacy,
the doom of Kelly and also of Blaine
was sealed. So complete was the over
throw of Kelly that even his stolid tenn
permanent was affected by it, and the
man whose face, figure, and conduct
have for so long time constituted the
very persOnification Of obstinacy in this
city, was confined to his house for sew
eral weeks by an attack of nervous de-
preston.

The papers continue to make fun Of
woLsELEY's expedition for the relief
Of GORDON. yet WOLsELEY continues
to go right along as if he knew what
he was about. And the chances are
that he does know what he is about, and
will have the pleasure oflaughing last.
