THE GR1CE-TBOupsOY TICKEl


The subtle hand of our restlessly scheming
Mayor had Il great deal to do with the nomina-
tons made by the County Democratic Conven-
ton on Monday, and the extraordinary edi-
torial comments on the ticket made by The
Ncr- York Times and The Ereaing Post yester-
day undoubtedly drew their inspiration directly
or indirectly from Mr.. Grace or the little clique
that surrounds him. Outside of the judiciary
nominations it is an extremely bad and an ex-
tremcly unworthy ticket, though highly salts
factory to the Mayor and his friends. Never
was list of candidates more completely the
product of INSCRIPTIONS bosses, and never did
convention accept a previously prepared
SLATE" with more slavsh subservience.
And yet the journals which praise such a
ticket as this cry out against the one-man
power in Tammany Hall, but find much to
crafty and delight them in the twomen power
of Hubert o. Thompson and William X. Grace.
Mr.. Thompson and Mr.. Grace have put in
nomination for Sheriff, Police Justice Andrew
j. White, whose only claim to hon0rs Mt the
hands of his faction has been his readiness to
contribute freely from the profits of his Oia
business to advance the political intrigues Of
Mr. Grace. Patrick Keenan,, the candidate for
County Clerk and present occupant of the
office. represents his brother John Keenan,, and
Mr. Thompson never had a shrewder wire
pulleI at his command in the wards where the
Democratic vote is the lowest and dirtest and
responds most readily to the influence of warm
whiskey and cool cash. The candidates for
Coroncrs are notthe men for the places. Nor, for
that matter is Adolph L. Sanger the smooth
and slippery President of our present Board of
Aldermen, at all the man to run for City
Court Judgeship.
Charles W. Dayton is the candidate for Pres
ident of the Board of Aldermen, Mayor Grace's
particular pet for the place. If he could get it,
the Mayors strength in the Board of Estimate
and Apportionmcnt-which holds the city purse
stlings-wOuld be increased. Mr. Dayton could
be trusted never to 20 counter to Mr.. Grace.
II is a Grace Thompson ticket right through.
Can New-York afford to give Mr. Grace more
power III the City Government until he has told
better story about his relations with Fcrdi-
maud Ward than he has yet doncT And has
the discredited and disgraccd ex.COmmissiOncr
of Public Works any claim to the support Of
honest voters tor his tools The Grace
Thompson ticket is a eood one to beat.

titled to spread to the would and gloat over. But

The news from Ohio at o'clock this morn

but il was not safe at that hour TO say posi-

The weather yesterday was stormy and that

Moreover the Prohibitionist vote is strongest
in the country districts, full returns from
which will not be received until to-day. Most
of the precincts that have been heard from

This touching story, from the Chicago

take the manhood out of man:

was there young man of not more than
twenty five, wearing threadbare clothes,
and looking as hard as if he had not
seen a sober day for a month, came in with
a little package in his hand. He un-
wrapped it, and handed the article TO
the pawn-broker, saying, Give me ten
cents And, boys, what do you suppose
it was? A pair of baby shoes-little
things, with the buttons only a trifie
soiled, as if they had been worn only
once or twice.
Where did you get these," asked
the tawn-broker.
Got 'em at home, replied the man,
who had an intelligent face and the
manner Of gentleman, despite his sad
condition. My wife bought them for
our baby. Give me ten cents for 'em;

" You had better take the shoes back
to your wife; the baby will need them,
said the pawn-broker.
" No she won't, because she's dead.
