New York Democrats.

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sest. 25.-The sun
shoue down brightly this morning upon ap-
parent harmony among the democratic CO.
horts at Saratoga. The County Democrats
paraded the streets for two hours with ban
ners and music, and those who chose could
interpret this demonstration as showing
their acquiescence in the result of last
nights work. The committee on resolutions
was in session most of the night, and finally
agreed upon a civil service plank, which
they were confident would not meet with
opposition in any quarter. This desirable
result was largely due to the pacific infu-
ence Of Congressman Abram Hewitt and
Perry Belmont, and the plank, as agreed
upon, is substantially the same as that
adopted in the county convention which
renominated Mr.. Belmont. 1t approves the
principle of the civil service laws, but con.
demns many of the rules and practices which
have grown up under them and become
part of the system as actually administered,
and which are held to operate unjustly and
with partisan effect.
Upon the reassembing of the convention
to-day Hon. Roswell p. Flower was nomi-
mated for Lieutenant Governor by accla-
nation. Dennis O'Brien, the present At
torney General, was unanimously renomi-
mated. Frederick Cook, of Rochester, was
nominated for Secretary of State on the
first ballot. A. A. Chaplin, the present in
cumbent, was nominated by unanimous
consent for Comptroller.
Before the report of the committee on
resolutions was made General Roger A.
Pryor offered resolution Of respect to the
memory of The late General Grant, which
was unanimously adopted; after which the
platform was read. 1t congratulates the
country upon the inauguration of Grover
Cleveland as President of the United States;
conmends his inaugural address; the wise
selection of bis cabinet, and his administra-
ton; approves and endorses the State gov
eminent Of Governor Hill; a(Iirms previous
declarations in regard to the necessity of
reforming the civil service, and condemns
the actual administration of that law as the
same that has been executed by the repub.
lican party; asks that the commission at
Washington be rcorganizsd so that its ma
jority shall be in sympathy with the admin
istration; that both parties be fairly repre-.
scented on the examining boards; that the
present lists of persons eligible for appoint
ment be annulled demands the repeal of
the compulsory silver coinage act; pledges
the party to revision Of the tariff in spirit
of f:iirness to all interests and makes SUM-
dry recommendations in regard to matters
connected with tho government of New
| York State.

head. Near the centre of the line was the
Hon. John w. Daniel in hack drawn by
superb span of bays. On his arrival at the
village General Lee spoke over two hours,
and was constantly interrupted with loud
peals Of applause. He made fine impress.

ALEXANDRIA, Y.
FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 80.

Tr,p MAvoSE1TEs and their friends in
tbe North are making great ado about the
change in the election laws made by the las0
7 legislature. The change consists in the TACT
that whereas under the old law the registrars
and iuJaes ofeleetion were appointed by Ma
homes county judges, they are now appoint
cd by an electoral board chosen BY the Leg
islature In view Of the fact that the only
qualifications required of the county JUDGES
as announced by the Generals Chief jack
man in the Legislature which elected them'
were that they should be readJusters ana
once in their lives have opened law, DOOR,
and that some Of them have since been de-
posed for cheating at cards and other gross
improprieties and crimes, and as the ne"
law proyides that both parties shall be rep
resented by the election judges, most fea-
sonable people, certainly all really deslrous
Of free ballot and fair count, think the
change rather advantageous to good gov
eminent, and more in accordance with the
spirit of free institutions than otherwise
But the Mahoneites and their Northern
friends are not concerned about such consld-
erationS

prepared to meet it and will make stand

night that the Fort Yates military station

possible, so far, to get further particulars AS
the wires are all down. The thermometer
here ranged as high as 81 yesterday.

day were discharged, unable to agree. The

defendant. Those in favor of plaintiff pro-
posed to make tho damages $1,000, but the

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact That even the
ultra republicans in Congress saw the out
rageous injustice attempted by Mr.. Vices
bill to repeal the statute allowing democrats
in the South representation on federal juries,
and would have none of it, General Malone,
even now, through his own organ, defends
that bill, and says it should have passed.
It is we'll for the democrats that it did not

methods, such of them SIS come before fed

posed entirely, as they were before the
statute referred to was adopted, Of their
political enemies.

If THE farmers of Virginia who mount
their horses and escort General Lee into the
towns at which he speaks are ''unrepentant
rebels" as they are called by General Ma
homes friends in the North. the fact that
Lynchburg will be decorated with United
States flags upon the occasion of the Gen
erals speech in that city, will, by the same
people, doubtless be considered as proofpos
tive of fat rebellion" But Lynchburg
will be- decorated all the same. This ere.

The SUICIDE of Admiral Senlmes, noted
in yesterdays GAZETTE, only adds another
to the many instances previously afforded
which go to prove the rule, that, whether
right or wrong, almost every Southern man
who took part, either by arms or otherwise,
against his people during or since the civil
war, has been stricken by remorse or, if de-
void of conscience, has come to GRIFFIN other
ways. This is strange but true.

NOTWITHSTANDING; the fact that all Gen.
Mahone's real strength is supplied by color
ed voters, he has employed 10 colored eau
yassers, even in the black belt. Now o
colored politician, like his white compatriot
always has an eye to the main chance, and
this ignoring of his services and consequent
deprivation of his share of the Northern
money now flowing into the Generals
hands and distributed among white jack
men, is by no means agreeable to him; in
deed he looks upon the slight rs real in
iury. and will 'get event. il possible.

"Whatever might have been said in favor
of this creed in the beginning cannot now
be said with any appearance of truth. The
administration Of public affairs by the read
juster party, dominated and controlled by
Gen. Mahone,is before thepeople of Virginia.
There is not one act of that administration
which the warmest admirer can point out
that will illicit general communication. No,
not one. There is much which has received
universal condemnation from all parties and
can be defended by no one. l leave to others
to particularize. I simply refer to letter
addressed by me to the public three years
ago on this subject. have not changed my
opinion therein expressed, but seen much 10
confirm my views. A wise and judicious
exercise of power entrusted by the people is
sure test of the capacity and fidelity of
the person to whom it is entrusted. 1t is
no mere guess work in this case dependent
on the future 1t is reality and the con-
clusion is irresistible. The first duty of
every citizen who loves the republican form
of government, whether he is republican,
readjuster or democrat, is to take power
from those who misuse it. The. obligation
is one that rises above party, it is the exer-
else of duty on which may ultimately de-
pend the safety Of our whole country. Mr..
Wise has so identified himself with General
Malone in and out of Congress that he is
best known as the Malone candidate. Be-
hind his election lies the reelection Of Gen.
Malone to the United States Senate, and
his continued domination in our State and
federal politics. If republicans and read
justers would free themselves from the
trammels and constraints of supposed party
obligation do not believe one in hundred
would vote for Mr. Wise.

Judging by the amount Of ferruginous

daily bread. We might also appropriately be
RANKED with the clay eaters of Siam. Now
II VIC could be always sure OF being able to
purchase good flour. there would be no
difficulty In making good bread. Bakers,
az general rule, are honest, but they are
driven by the public them elves TO use
various ingredients for the purpose OF
Identifying. so to speak, the loayes they
seli---the public being imbued with the in
sane notion that the whittier the bread is SO
much tho purer must it be. Carbonate Of
soda and alum are mostly used in the
adulteration of bread. Daily doses OF alum
or carbonate Of soda produce dyspepsia,
