There " as not free fight in the Central Labor
Union yesterday but pretty lively circus
served to keep up the reputation of that body.
Although the resolutions that caused the row
week ago were brought forward again, the
members had sense enough to adjourn before
an outbreak occurred. So far as the contest
between the knights and the Unions is con-
eerned, temporary victory was gained by the
latter.
The Prohbitionists in their capacity OF AS
sistant Democrats have no reason TO complain
of lack of appreciation. The Pennsylvania
Democracy is reported as contemplating with
glee the purpose of the PrOhibitiOnists to run
candidates for the Legislature in every district,
the Democrats hoping in this way to control the
Legislature and elect Senator MitchelFs sue
cessor. If the Democratic hope of securing the
Senate depend upon Pennsylvania, however,
disappointment pretty certainly awaits It,
All admirers of Wagner Will find much to in
terest them in the letter printed on another
page, describing the presentation of Tristan
and Isolde" at the Bayreuth Theatre. This
Wagnerian town has become point which
tourists can hardly afford to miss. The
novelty of the perfOrmace on July 20 was that
the work was presented in its complete form
for the first time since it was originally put on
the stage in 1865. The striking difference in
the effect upon the audience between the rep
resentation of " Parsifal " and that of "Tris-
tan is worthy of notice.
A conviction of bribery with sentence to
Sing Sing interfeles even with the success OF
sd,trict leader of the County Democracy.
The Vth DistSict, which was recently "run by
Henry. w. Jaehne, is the latest witness to this
fact The "leader" who has been chosen 20
succeed Jaehne. is not one of Jaehnes friends
that is, he belongs to the faction which Op
posed the ex-Alderman in the district III
Jaehne's conviction is reversed-as his friends
hope and as all the friends of honesty and good
government do no lore is not likely that he
will be of much account politically. Even in
his own stronghold, the =" bos:-ship has passed
from him forever.
Some facts which the Civil Service supporters
OF President Cleveland may find hard of diges-
tion are given in a letter written by promi
nent Republican of Mississippi and quoted in
our Washington dispatches. Not only has the
South been heavily drawn on to fill Federal
appointments in Western States and Terri
tories, but in county after nty in Mississippi
and elsewhere every Republican postmaster or
other oi'ical-and the number was not large
has been replaced by Democrat. In the North
removals are made slowly and with caution,
but in the South the official axe has been kept
cteadily at work until there is no more work 70
do. The solid South may be counted upon as
solid for Cleveland every time.
As will be seen by an article in our local col
umDs, the Republicans of this city will probably
not soon have better chance than will be
afforded this fall of going into the Mayoralty
contest with fair prospect of winning. The
Democratic factions are hOpelessly divided;
and the County Democracy has already an
nOunced Its purpose OF running its OWE candi
dates. A coalition betv cen them is unlikely.
it will be necessary, though, for the Republ-
cans to nominate a strong and unimpeachable
candidate and to make vigorous canvass.
There being practically no State officers to be
elected this year. interest will centre in the local
contest. There have been so many unsavory
Developments In municipal affairs of late that
good citizens should join hands in giving us a
Mayor whose administration shall be clean.
